FE—Chapter 114: Wang Dong: Enter the Restaurant!
"Close the restaurant?" Xiao Hongchen saw that Huo Yuhao, who was always calm, looked a little confused, and his eyes showed some uncertainty.
"Yuhao, isn't our barbecue restaurant doing very well?"
Xiao Hongchen was still dressed in a black robe at this time and chuckled softly. "If we can successfully gain a foothold in the Holy Moon District without being noticed, we will be able to find out a lot of inside information about the evil soul masters in the future."
Huo Yuhao responded quickly as a conditioned reflex: "Brother Xiao, there was an emergency, so we have to close the restaurant first. We'll pick a good day to reopen it another time."
Xiao Hongchen was even more confused. He had opened a barbecue restaurant in the place of evil soul masters, so what kind of emergency could there be? What kind of big terror could threaten Illustrious Virtue Hall?
Di Ruiqiu blinked, a little confused. "What caused Yuhao's emotions to fluctuate so much?"
Huo Yuhao was quite calm on the surface, but he was already thinking rapidly about various things in his heart. When he saw Princess Tang's touch of pink-blue just now, it was as if a bolt from the blue had exploded in his mind.
In the original novel, Huo Yuhao was not in the Sun Moon Empire but was gradually tamed by the design of the God King Tang in Shrek.
Now that he was in the Sun Moon Empire and Princess Tang could come to visit him, wouldn't his time there be futile?
Could it be that the Lord arranged it again? The God King Tang used his mighty power to accurately guide Princess Tang to his barbecue restaurant.
Although the Lord God King's long-term plan is not something that ordinary people can guess, she is his daughter after all, and she can't affect Wang Dong's consciousness so deeply...
Di Rachel noticed Huo Yuhao's eyes moving non-stop and vaguely thought of something, but since the Hongchen siblings were present and would not understand, she did not speak directly.
"I'll take down the plaque first."
Huo Yuhao thought for a moment and decided in an instant: "Serve the skewers that have been prepared to the customers, and then tell them that the business is temporarily closed."
He had to quickly remove the plaque; otherwise, Wang Dong would come in.
After saying that, Huo Yuhao took out all the skewers that had been prepared but not served to Juzi, ready for her to take them home to eat.
Outside the barbecue restaurant, on the street not far away,
Xiao Xiao raised her eyes and looked, her light green eyes widening a little, and excitement surged on her pretty face.
"Wang Dong, look! It's a Huo Ran Cheerful BBQ Restaurant!" Xiao Xiao pointed in a direction and said happily, "The strange man in black just now didn't lie to us."
Wang Dong also saw it, her pink-blue eyes flashing with joy, and she smiled very happily.
"Haha, my efforts were not in vain. I finally found Huo Yuhao and his barbecue restaurant!"
Before, when the two were searching near Illustrious Virtue Hall, they had searched for several hours but found nothing. They were about to give up and planned to continue their search tomorrow.
Luckily, the Death God Envoy, who had just finished eating skewers at the barbecue restaurant and was dressed in a black robe, happened to appear.
The Death God Envoy faced Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, who approached him with clear and beautiful eyes and brisk steps.
He couldn't help but sneer, thinking, "I, the Death God Envoy, am also well-known in the evil soul master world. Not to mention, I am also hated by everyone. How could I do bad things to help others?"
In Mingdu City, one must abide by the rules and refrain from doing anything that disrupts order.
So an idea flashed through the mind of the Death God Envoy: to trick Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao out of Mingdu City, allowing them to experience the cruelty of the evil soul masters firsthand.
However, just as he sneered,
A middle-aged man with short brown hair appeared quietly and placed his powerful hand on the shoulder of the Death God Envoy. The terrifying aura of the Ultimate Douluo close to his face made the Death God Envoy terrified.
So the communication went smoothly, and Wang Dong got the position she wanted.
Then, under the secret protection of Tai Tan, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao—who revealed their identities as part of the Clear Sky Sect—said they came for friendly trade exchanges and successfully entered the Holy Moon District, finding Huo Yuhao's Huo Ran Cheerful BBQ Restaurant.
"Xiao Xiao, let's go, let's hurry!"
Wang Dong was in a good mood, and she quickened her pace. Huo Yuhao and the barbecue restaurant—this young master is coming in!
"Yeah." Xiao Xiao was also very happy and nodded vigorously. She would soon be able to eat the delicious grilled fish she had missed for so long.
When Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao were running toward the barbecue restaurant in joy, they suddenly saw a familiar blue-haired figure, who seemed to be about to take down the plaque of the barbecue restaurant.
"Hey, that looks a bit familiar..."
Wang Dong looked at the other person's back. Although she didn't know what Huo Yuhao looked like after merging with the Snow Empress, she was still very impressed by Huo Yuhao's blue hair.
Wang Dong, who had been spoiled and confident since childhood, subconsciously shouted at the blue-haired back at the door of the restaurant: "Hey, that boy with blue hair! Turn around!"
She didn't know that the blue-haired figure was Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao, who was about to take down the plaque, couldn't help but tremble slightly when he heard the words and felt a little panicked.
In the next second, Huo Yuhao moved swiftly, with illusory purple dragon wings faintly appearing on his back. He quickly took off the plaque of "Huo Ran Cheerful BBQ Restaurant" and put it into the storage soul guidance device.
Wang Dong saw this scene and angrily scolded, "Who are you? Why did you take it down?"
"Do you want to be beaten? Do you know what the consequences are of making me unhappy? Put it back up!"
After Huo Yuhao heard Wang Dong's voice and said, "The BBQ restaurant is closed," he prepared to fly directly into the back kitchen of the restaurant without hesitation.
However, just as he was about to fly away, Wang Dong's angry and threatening voice came again.
"Stop! You don't take my words seriously, do you?"
Wang Dong was furious when she heard that the barbecue restaurant was going to close, and she stamped her feet, glaring at the blue-haired figure: "If you run half a step further, I will let my second uncle catch you directly!"
Huo Yuhao stopped when he heard that. Her second father was here too? Tai Tan was also a top-notch strength in the Douluo Continent. He couldn't get involved in the affairs of the mainland at will, but he couldn't allow himself to be captured by Tai Tan.
Wang Dong saw that the blue-haired figure didn't dare to move again, snorted lightly, and trotted over with Xiao Xiao.
In the barbecue restaurant, Di Rachel and others saw that Huo Yuhao had been out for several minutes and hadn't returned, so they stopped their work and went outside.
"Yuhao, what's wrong? Why are you flying without moving?"
Di Rachel first glanced at Huo Yuhao in confusion, then tilted her head slightly.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a touch of pink-blue almost instantly.
Di Rachel's ruby-like eyes widened in disbelief. She pointed at Wang Dong, who was running toward her, and exclaimed involuntarily:
"Wang Dong'er, you came to the Sun Moon Empire!"
Di Rachel was quite surprised. She thought that Wang Dong'er had completely strayed far away from Shrek Academy this time.
Unexpectedly, when she and Yuhao had just returned to Mingdu and opened a barbecue restaurant, Wang Dong appeared in front of them.
No wonder Yuhao's emotions fluctuated so much just now.
If someone knew the underlying story, it would be unbelievable for anyone to see such a thing. The distance between Shrek Academy and the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy spanned half of the map.
However, Di Rachel soon calmed down and said with a smile: "It's okay, Yuhao, don't worry about her, just move and see what Wang Dong'er can do."
"It's good that she came to the Sun Moon Empire; it will be more convenient for me to control her and make her lose with conviction."
Huo Yuhao was more concerned about himself, but there was no need to lead Tai Tan in Mingdu to avoid aggravating the situation.
He flapped the illusory purple dragon wings on his back and slowly descended to the ground, still facing away from Wang Dong.
At this time, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao also ran over.
Wang Dong first looked at Di Rachel in confusion, with a bit of surprise in her pink-blue eyes. To prevent Xiao Xiao from having wild thoughts, she seriously corrected Di Rachel's words.
"My name is Wang Dong. Why do you call me Wang Dong'er? That's weird."
Wang Dong glanced at her unintentionally, curled her lips, and continued, "Also, what's wrong with me coming to the Sun Moon Empire for a vacation? Is that not okay?"
Wang Dong thought Di Rachel was too nosy. What did it have to do with her eating, drinking, and having fun here?
Di Rachel didn't care about her teasing at all. She crossed her arms and smiled softly, "Then I may disappoint you. Our restaurant is about to close. Come back next time."
Wang Dong was angry again when she heard this. She looked at Huo Yuhao, who had his back to her and said indignantly.
"Hey, you are so rude! Why did you tear down the plaque of someone else's barbecue restaurant?"
Wang Dong wanted to defend Huo Yuhao and his barbecue restaurant, but she didn't know that the blue-haired figure in front of her was Huo Yuhao.
"Not only did you not listen to me, but you also dared to ignore me."
Seeing Wang Dong filled with righteous indignation, she was ready to step forward and pull Huo Yuhao.
Di Rachel waved her arm; a golden light flashed, and the Golden Dragon Spear quickly stretched forward, blocking Wang Dong.
"Hey, what are you trying to do by making a move? Please keep a safe distance."
Huo Yuhao secretly gave Di Rachel a thumbs up.
The Golden Dragon Spear in Di Rachel's hand moved slightly, the blade flashing with a sharp golden light. She smiled happily and said, "This barbecue restaurant was opened by him. He can take it down if he wants to. What does it have to do with you?"
"Wang Dong'er, if you have nothing to do, go back and play."
Di Rachel waved the Golden Dragon Spear at Wang Dong, indicating that she should return to where she came from.
"Hey! Who said I'm fine? I won't leave until I get to eat grilled fish."
Wang Dong saw that Di Rachel was even more arrogant than her and clenched her fist, saying, "Put away your spear, or I'll beat you up."
"This Huo Ran Cheerful BBQ restaurant is named after a friend of mine. How come it became his?"
Meng Hongchen's eyes moved back and forth between Di Rachel and Wang Dong. Listening to what Wang Dong said, she frowned slightly and thought for a moment.
She didn't know the specific relationship between Di Rachel and Wang Dong, but judging from their reactions when they met, there must be some special bond.
Meng Hongchen and Huo Yuhao had long been familiar with each other and had a very good relationship. Additionally, Huo Yuhao's appearance was the male version of the Snow Empress, so she liked him very much from the beginning.
Therefore, after Meng Hongchen had someone she liked this time, she naturally wouldn't be polite to Wang Dong.
At most, she thought Wang Dong was pretty handsome.
In the original novel, Meng Hongchen was so overjoyed and blushed when she saw Wang Dong for the first time. This was impossible.
Based on the plots of countless love comics, Meng Hongchen thought divergently: "This pink-blue boy is pretty good-looking, almost catching up with Yuhao."
"Could it be that Di Rachel had a special relationship with this boy before, and fell in love with someone else after seeing Yuhao, so they quarreled like enemies as soon as they met?"
Di Rachel glanced at Meng Hongchen, who didn't know what she was thinking and said faintly, "Ms. Meng, stop imagining. Didn't you hear Wang Dong'er say that this name belongs to her friend?"
Meng Hongchen suddenly looked at Wang Dong, snorted coldly, and said seriously, "We came up with this name specifically. In the beginning, we gave up the names Mei Ye Yi Meng BBQ Restaurant and Xiang Rui BBQ Restaurant."
"Finally, we decided to use the name Huo Ran Cheerful BBQ Restaurant. You said this name belongs to your friend?"
Meng Hongchen asked in a clear voice, "Who is your friend?"
"Huh?"
Wang Dong blinked and noticed what Di Rachel called her just now. It turned out that she was the Miss Meng of Illustrious Virtue Hall.
So… Wang Dong seemed to have figured something out all of a sudden. Her eyes fell on the blue-haired figure in front of her, and she asked softly, "Are you Huo Yuhao?"
Seeing Wang Dong stretching her neck to see Huo Yuhao's face, Di Rachel held the Golden Dragon Spear horizontally to stop her and reminded Wang Dong sternly, "Don't stretch your neck and stare. Keep your distance."
Then she patted Huo Yuhao's shoulder with her other hand and said softly, "It's okay, Yuhao. Turn around. I'll help you watch Wang Dong'er."
Huo Yuhao turned around and greeted them with a faint smile. "Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, long time no see. I remember that the last time we had kebabs together was ten months ago. I didn't expect you to come to the Sun Moon Empire to see me during the holiday."
Wang Dong was stunned when she saw Huo Yuhao's appearance. Her pink-blue eyes widened a little.
Huo Yuhao's appearance was already extremely superior, and coupled with the excellent living environment and social circle with the Hongchen siblings, he became particularly noble, developing an elegant and noble temperament over time.
Wang Dong covered her mouth: "You—you're Huo Yuhao? The one who opened a barbecue stall in Shrek Snack Street?"
She was a bit disbelieving. She had asked the students about Huo Yuhao's news, and they said that he had become more handsome. She thought that he was just as handsome as Xiao Hongchen, but she didn't expect that he was on par with her. In comparison, he was not inferior.
You know, she was a woman dressed as a man. She had a great advantage in handsomeness, but she was almost outdone.
Huo Yuhao's appearance and temperament changed so much. The only thing that had changed less was his eyes, which simply became clearer and brighter; they were still the same pair of spiritual eyes.
Xiao Xiao's eyes lit up. This nobleman pretending to be Huo Yuhao was much more heroic than Wang Dong, and he looked better than him (Wang Dong). She always felt that Wang Dong had a soft beauty.
Huo Yuhao smiled and nodded slightly. "Yes, I am Huo Yuhao, who runs a barbecue stall."
Wang Dong didn't know why her cheeks turned slightly red. It would be great if she could lure Huo Yuhao like this back to the Clear Sky Sect. She took a deep breath.
"Huo Yuhao, why don't you go to the Clear Sky Sect and open a barbecue restaurant with me? I will give you double what Miss Meng offered you!"
