Douluo Continent: Outwitting the Ceiling of Wisdom - Yuhao Faks His Death for Ten Thousand Years

"How boring, Yuhao."

On the track, Meng Hongchen walked beside Huo Yuhao, swinging her arms listlessly. "How about we go out and play together later?"

Meng Hongchen's voice interrupted Huo Yuhao's thoughts about Tang Wulin.

He glanced at the darkening sky and then at the approving looks from everyone except Meng Hongchen.

"Let's go now, it's almost lunchtime anyway."

"Yay!"

After giving an excited cheer, Meng Hongchen quickened her pace and walked briskly and joyfully toward the school gate.

"Hmm... Yuhao, where should we go?" Ye Guyi asked curiously from the other side of Huo Yuhao.

Behind them, Gu Yuena couldn't help but show a hint of anticipation in her eyes after hearing the question.

In the past three months, she hasn't had much time to play with Huo Yuhao and the others in Donghai City.

After all, she wasn't that close to Huo Yuhao and the others at first.

Therefore, when Meng Hongchen and other family members were present, Huo Yuhao felt it inconvenient to invite Gu Yuena to join them on outings, and Gu Yuena was also too embarrassed to bring it up herself...

Now that they've gotten to know each other better, that's no longer a problem.

"Let me think... By the way, Meng'er, you're in such a hurry! You haven't even said where you're going yet."

Huo Yuhao glanced helplessly at Meng Hongchen's retreating figure as she walked further and further away from them.

At the same time, after glancing at the first-grade students in classes four and five who had just finished their promotion competition on the playground, he suddenly thought of something.

"I heard there's a nice food street in Donghai City, let's go there."

"Yes!" Ye Guyi nodded vigorously.

Then, Huo Yuhao turned around and glanced at Gu Yuena behind him, then smiled slightly: "Miss Gu, is that alright?"

Gu Yuena was taken aback when she saw Huo Yuhao's warm smile.

After a brief moment of surprise, she quickly replied softly, "...Yes, that's fine."

After saying that, Gu Yuena quickened her pace and walked to Huo Yuhao's side, filling the gap left by Meng Hongchen who was running in front.

Upon reaching this point, Gu Yuena didn't realize that her mood had suddenly become a little happier than when she was walking behind the three of them.

After leaving the school gate, they did not take a car to the snack street, even though it was not close to Donghai College and would take at least half an hour to walk there.

The four agreed that walking wasn't tiring for them, as Soul Masters, and it would be good to enjoy the street scenes of Donghai City along the way.

If there were outsiders here, they certainly wouldn't understand why they were so interested in the "ordinary" city street scene.

Half an hour later, the four of them arrived at a street lined with shops, but not very wide.

"Wow!"

Upon smelling the various aromas wafting from the food street, Meng Hongchen's eyes lit up. "Yuhao, Yuhao, let's go find some delicious food!"

"certainly."

Huo Yuhao looked at her adorable, greedy expression and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

At this moment, he couldn't help but recall the time ten thousand years ago.

That was also a story of him and Meng Hongchen eating together at the snack street—except it was the snack street in Mingdu, and Meng Hongchen, as the host, dragged him to find delicious little shops.

"Time flies, and ten thousand years have passed. The snack street in Mingdu should have disappeared into the long river of history by now."

"Thankfully, though things have changed, the most important people are still by my side..."

Huo Yuhao pondered with a touch of melancholy, then took a deep look at Meng Hongchen, whose expression remained as innocent and adorable as ever, before continuing forward:

"Let's go, everyone. I know a really good braised beef restaurant around here."

The braised beef in the Donghai City is an essential part of the experience for every time traveler who arrives in the era of the Dragon King Legend.

Soon, Huo Yuhao found their destination and led the three of them into the small, unassuming shop.

After taking her seat, Gu Yuena looked curiously at the shop's simple—even shabby—decor, while simultaneously transmitting her thoughts to Huo Yuhao:

"I never expected... you would come to eat at a place like this."

So, Huo Yuhao responded somewhat helplessly:

"I'm not some pampered young master, Miss Gu."

"Oh, oh..." Gu Yuena's face flushed slightly as she realized she might have said something offensive. "I'm sorry..."

"It's alright. Besides, compared to those famous, high-end restaurants..."

Huo Yuhao, with a gentle expression, continued to explain to the "naive" Silver Dragon King:

"It is often these small restaurants, hidden in the streets and seemingly unrefined, that serve dishes with unique flavors."

"I see……"

Just as Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena were chatting in secret, the middle-aged owner of the shop walked over.

He wore an apron with some oil stains around his waist and asked with a smile:

"Hey handsome young men and beautiful young women, what would you like to eat? Our braised beef is absolutely amazing, I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"

"Then four servings of braised beef and rice, please. Thank you, boss." Huo Yuhao smiled slightly.

"Okay!"

Soon, four servings of braised beef, four bowls of white rice, and two plates of side dishes made of green vegetables were served.

"This is your first time at my restaurant, so these side dishes are on the house, no need to pay!" The middle-aged owner, after serving the dishes, looked at the four people at the table with a hearty smile.

"Thanks, boss!"

After thanking her sweetly, Meng Hongchen couldn't wait to pick up her chopsticks and start eating. She then praised the food with a happy expression, "It's really delicious! Yuhao, Sister Guyi, and Sister Na'er, you should eat too!"

After three months of getting to know each other, the naturally outgoing Meng Hongchen has started calling Gu Yuena by the affectionate nickname "Na'er".

Seeing Meng Hongchen dressed so well and looking so beautiful, like a young lady from a respectable family, praising even his family's braised beef, the middle-aged boss laughed smugly.

"That's good! That's good! The four children can enjoy their meal at their leisure. Rice is free!"

After saying that, he turned and left with a cheerful smile.

Just as the four of them began to enjoy their meal, the middle-aged owner's voice rang out again from the doorway:

"Hey, Xie Xie, you're here! Come in and have a seat. The usual?"

"Yes! Thank you, Uncle Li."

Upon hearing the name, Huo Yuhao looked up curiously.

Meng Hongchen and Ye Guyi also stopped eating and exchanged a thoughtful glance.

As for Gu Yuena... she didn't react much.

Because she had absolutely no recollection of having a classmate named "Xie Xie".

On the other side, Xie Xie was looking forward to enjoying the delicious braised beef, and went into the shop to find a table to sit at.

Then, he saw those four somewhat familiar faces and figures.
