Surge of Cultivation

In his entire life, apart from his parents and sister, who else had dared to recklessly hold her hand? He subconsciously wanted to struggle free, but when he lifted his eyes to look at Ye Qingdi's broad and firm back, he suddenly felt a sense of gentleness in his heart. He bit his lips lightly, put on his sunglasses again and allowed Ye Qingdi to pull him forward.

At this time, the sky darkened and the lights on the "Food Street" lit up one by one. Duanmu's snow-white cheeks blushed. It was unknown whether it was because he was shy or because he was illuminated by the lights.

Releasing the young girl's restraint, Duanmu Rong followed in Ye Qingdi's footsteps and walked into the "street of delicacies" along with the noisy crowd. Her small hand was completely covered by Ye Qingdi's palm, and she felt a warm current surging into her body, as if it was infusing her with endless power, making her body as light as a swallow, and she could fly into the clouds at any time.

The four female bodyguards seemed to sense the change in the Eldest Miss's mood. They secretly exchanged glances and quietly spread out a few meters, leaving as much space as possible for the two of them. However, there were too many tourists on this street. They were so close to each other that they had to pay full attention to the facial expressions and movements of everyone around them, just in case there were any mistakes in their defense.

The four female bodyguards were all elite members of the "Qilin" team under the "Weak Water Group". They included two crescent martial artists, a full moon martial artist, and a morning sun martial artist. Although they were few in number, their lineup was strong enough to ensure Duanmu Rong's safety.

The four female bodyguards had followed Qiu Lianshui all the way here. Their loyalty to the mother and daughter pair was unquestionable, as long as they found anything that was detrimental to Duanmu Rong, they would rush forward without hesitation. Even if it meant risking their own lives, they had to protect Duanmu Rong from harm.

Seeing these powerful bodyguards following Duanmu Rong and Ye Qingdi, Xia Bing didn't come with them. Instead, she sat in a "Beast of War" car at the end of the street, waiting for Ye Qingdi.

The owners of the shops came from all over the world and operated hundreds of different specialties from all over the Federation. Although those rich and famous people and upper class did not want to come here to eat, the majority of the ordinary citizens still held this small street in high esteem. Every evening, as the sun went down, some people would call three or five friends over for dinner. They would order some delicious dishes, some cumin barbecue, some seafood, and some cold beer. It was no worse than a luxury hotel.

At this moment, the shop owners had already started to get busy. With the help of the waiter, they moved the tableware and barbecue utensils to both sides of the street. In the midst of all the shouting and the rising smoke, all kinds of tempting fragrances began to spread in all directions.

When she saw that there was something new to eat, she couldn't help but stop and watch. Sometimes, she even couldn't help but ask the owner of the stall what it was, and what it was. The feeling it gave was that these two young men and women were definitely a couple that had come out to look for food.

In the beginning, Duanmu Rong was a bit embarrassed, but he still followed behind Ye Qingdi lightly, leaving him behind by half a body's length. Later, he became a bit bolder, walking shoulder to shoulder with Ye Qingdi, and later on, he dared to stick close to Ye Qingdi's side, wholeheartedly listening to the customers at the food stalls boasting about how good their snacks were.

"Ye Qingdi brought me here to play. It's really very interesting! He really hoped that he would get such chances in the future, but … Will he invite me again? "

Duanmu Rong thought in her heart as the corner of her mouth curled up into a faint smile. "How stupid. If he doesn't invite me, can't I invite him?" It could be seen that he also liked this kind of occasion. If I were to invite him to dinner, he would definitely not reject me, right? "Hmm, what he likes, I want to learn to adapt slowly …"

Duanmu had a cold personality and did not like liveliness. When he was fourteen years old, he started to help his mother manage the Weak Water Group, a huge economic empire. There were too many things he had to deal with everyday, so he had very little free time. Apart from discussing business with her business partners, her daily range of activities was limited to three points: family, office, and True Martial University. Over the years, she had long gotten used to this fixed lifestyle and even believed that this was how a person's life should be spent.

In the eyes of the four bodyguards, today's arrival of the young miss at a place where commoners ate together was simply a miracle. And the one who created this miracle was none other than Ye Qingdi!

In the past, Duanmu Rong's image in the eyes of these female bodyguards was like a beautiful, emotionless, and lifeless puppet. Accompanying her would always make one feel depressed, so the female bodyguards hoped to be able to see her lively and youthful side.

"What are you laughing at?" Ye Qingdi noticed the smile on the corner of Duanmu Rong's mouth as he asked curiously.

"I'm a bit hungry!" Duanmu Rong's expression turned serious as she replied in a light tone.

"Then let's quickly find a clean place to sit down and enjoy the unique flavor of the snacks!" As Ye Kai spoke, he continued walking forward with Duanmu Rong.

No matter how old Duanmu Rong was, she was still a seventeen to eighteen-year-old young lady. With regards to the things she had never seen, played with or eaten, she felt an indescribable curiosity as she followed Ye Qingdi to take a look. When she looked over there, she felt puzzled and wanted to ask Ye Qingdi about it, but she felt too embarrassed to do so. Fortunately, Ye Qingdi seemed to be able to guess her thoughts. He kept introducing and explaining to her along the way, letting her know that there were actually so many delicious, delicious, fun and beautiful things in the market.

Although she was excited by the novelty, Duanmu Rong maintained her naturally elegant and dignified appearance. Meanwhile, Ye Qingdi's appetite was stirred up, completely disregarding his handsome demeanor. He stretched his neck and continuously breathed in the fragrance of the various fried vegetables barbecued in the air, shouting out "how fragrant".

The streets were filled with people. There were heads everywhere. Guests sat in groups of three or five on both sides of the street. Some of them had already started drinking and eating.

The two walked hand in hand for a while before they finally found a clean and tidy dining table in front of a shop in the middle of the street with the sign "Western Barbecue" on it. The couple was so angry that they were fuming. In the end, they shrugged helplessly and turned away.

"It is fortunate that we came early. If we had been any later, it would have been difficult to find a seat!" Ye Qingdi heaved a sigh of relief as he smiled at the departing couple.

"It's so lively here. There's tens of thousands of people coming in one night, right? I was thinking. "If you buy all the food licenses on the whole block and rebuild them, publicizing them throughout the federation to attract visitors from all over the world, then the chances of business would be even better …" Duanmu Rong mumbled to herself. The meaning in her words was that she was going after the 'gourmet street'.

When Ye Qingdi heard that she did not leave her own business, he could not help but laugh and said: "It's better not to. The businesses on this street are all small businesses, some of them have already worked here for many years, if you buy them and manage them exclusively, wouldn't that be equivalent to smashing their rice bowls? "In my opinion, monopolies are not as good as the 'All Struggle' when it comes to this sort of thing."

"Oh, if you say no, then forget it..."

While they were talking, a waiter from "Western Barbecue" brought them a menu and asked them to order.

"You order." Ye Qingdi pushed the menu towards Duanmu Rong.

"I don't understand. It's better for you to order. "Whatever you order, I'll eat!" Duanmu Rong pushed the menu back to her.

"Roasted lamb, roasted chicken, roasted fish..." Ye Qingdi picked up the menu and looked at it, scratching his head. He did not know what was delicious, so he stopped looking at the menu and asked the young man to follow the instructions on the menu.

In front of a wealthy woman like Duanmu Rong, Ye Qingdi did not want to appear to be a petty person. How much could a simple snack cost?

"All orders? This... There was no room for it on the table! The waiter held the menu with a troubled expression on his face.

"Then serve your specialties, until the entire table is served! And a few beers! "Go quickly, we are already very hungry!" Seeing that the waiter had left, he looked at the four female bodyguards who were guarding a few meters away from the dining table and said to Duanmu Rong, "How about … …" for the four women to sit up and eat together? "

"No need, they definitely won't sit down!" Duanmu Rong said indifferently.

Soon, all kinds of barbeques, snacks, beers and beverages were brought up one after another. The small table was soon filled to the brim with food, and the fragrance directly assaulted one's bones. Not only was Ye Qingdi drooling with greed, even Duanmu Rong was moved.

Before this, Duanmu Rong's tall and proud figure and her unique temperament had already attracted a lot of attention. Now that she had taken off her sunglasses and hat, the smooth black hair hanging down her shoulders set off a beautiful face that was covered in snow and frosting. This caused some people to be dumbstruck.

The man took advantage of his girlfriend's inattentiveness to sneak a peek at Duanmu Rong. The more he looked at her, the more he felt that his girlfriend was simply a woman with a yellow face. He sighed inwardly and was endlessly envious of Ye Qingdi.

The man's girlfriend quickly noticed his abnormality and asked in a jealous tone, "Xiao Hui, is that woman prettier than me?"

"Of course..." The man looked at Duanmu Rong in a daze. When he heard someone ask, he wiped away the saliva at the corner of his mouth and answered dully.

"Is she better than me?"

"Of course..."

"Then do you want to pick her up?"

"Of course... "Huh?" The man suddenly reacted and laughed dryly, "I don't want to! Xiao Xia, you are the only one in my heart, in this lifetime, I will only love you! "

"Go to hell!" The woman picked up a drink and poured it on her boyfriend's face. Then she stood up and left in a huff.

"Xia, wait for me. Listen to my explanation!" The man reluctantly glanced at Duanmu Rong a few times before shouting and chasing after his girlfriend.

Almost at the same time, several incidents like this happened. Some couples were unhappy with each other due to the male partner's absent-mindedness, which resulted in a conflict between them.

Ye Qingdi opened a bottle of beer himself and passed a bottle of beverage to Duanmu Rong. He then picked up a skewer of roast lamb and stuffed it into Duanmu Rong's hands. Duanmu Rong, you should eat too! No matter how much you eat tonight, it will all be mine.

Duanmu Rong smiled lightly, opened her small mouth and gently bit down on a piece of meat. Slowly, she began to eat. Usually, she ate very little at dinner, but now, perhaps because she was in a good mood or because the roast lamb was too delicious, she actually ate five skewers in one go. She took a sip of the drink and licked the grease at the corner of her mouth.

Ye Qingdi and Duanmu Rong had already gotten used to the envious gazes from all around, so the interlude did not affect their moods or appetites. They faced each other, casually savoring the various delicacies on the table while occasionally exchanging a few words, commenting on which was the best.

"Aiya! Elder sister? Ye Qingdi? You. Why are you eating here? Ha, what a coincidence! "

A sweet and crisp voice suddenly sounded out. Following which, a figure flashed and a graceful young lady appeared at Ye Qingdi's and Duanmu Yan's table. Her small face was filled with excitement and surprise.

This girl was dressed exactly like Duanmu Rong. The only difference was that her hat and T-shirt were all white.

"Little Yan?" When Duanmu Rong saw this young lady, she immediately put down the mutton skewers in her hands. She frowned and asked, "Didn't you go to eat with a friend?" "Why..."

"Don't mention it, my friends had something up their sleeves and even lost their achievements after not eating anything. I was bored by myself, so I went around everywhere. I didn't expect to meet you guys here! Hee hee, that's great. I haven't even eaten yet, so I'll just make up a meal here! "Hey, sister, Ye Qingdi, who's treating us today?" As she spoke, the young lady sat down beside Duanmu Rong. She took off her sunglasses and a large sun hat, revealing a pretty face that was almost identical to Duanmu Rong's. If it wasn't Duanmu Yan, then who else could it be?

Needless to say, these two beautiful girls were definitely a pair of twin sisters! Good heavens. Such a pair of beautiful sisters were definitely one of a kind in the entire federation, right?

Looking at the two sisters sitting side by side, many men were instantly killed.

"It's my treat." Ye Qingdi pointed at the delicious dishes on the table, laughed and said: "Don't mention it, eat as you please. If it's not enough, then ask for more!" "I can't afford to treat you to delicacies, but you can eat as many of them as you want!"

"Relax, since it's a rich young master like you treating me, I definitely won't be polite!" As Duanmu Rong spoke, he picked up a chicken and began to gnaw on it. Compared to Duanmu Rong, one looked like a fairy from the heavens, and the other like a country bumpkin who was being naughty and unruly.

Ye Qingdi felt a little strange, thinking to himself, "Doesn't this girl like to keep her mouth open and shut when she calls me 'Brother-in-law'?" Why isn't he shouting now? Was she afraid that her elder sister would scold her? Hehe... You also have people you're afraid of!

Actually, how could he have known that Duanmu Yan was not called "Brother-in-law"? One reason was because she understood her sister's temper, and knew that her sister's skin was thin and tender, and if her sister had heard of her calling Ye Qingdi in this sort of public setting, she might have been so embarrassed that she might have exploded out in anger. Two, because she had some thoughts in her mind, she would not use the word "Brother-in-law" in front of certain people.

Not far behind Duanmu Yan, Ye Qingdi noticed Yao Xiaomin and the rest. Ye Qingdi was already very familiar with these people, so he nodded and smiled towards them from afar as a form of greeting.

After they met, the four of them continued to stand guard around the area. The other four, on the other hand, relaxed their nerves and gathered together to discuss something in a low voice, but from the way they occasionally turned their heads to look at Ye Qingdi, they could infer that this matter was related to Ye Qingdi.

Many of them did not even finish their food before they hurriedly paid their bills and left. Ye Qingdi felt that it was strange and turned around, only to see ten or so aggressive looking delinquents with different types of hairstyles walking towards him like evil spirits. Every time they passed a small shop stall, the red-haired young man leading them would lead his two lackeys to the owner and demand for some 'protection fees'.

"Damn, what age is this?" There was actually a "protection fee"? Aren't you afraid of being invited by the police to tea? " Ye Qingdi could not help but laugh. In the end, the shopkeepers all obediently paid the bill, as if they were afraid of these hooligans.

While he was wondering in his heart, those hooligans had already started striding towards the "Western Barbeque" area. As they got closer, more than ten auras followed them. He never thought that these hooligans were actually warriors!
