Chapter 48 - In-Game Event (1/2)
A few minutes after Yuan returned to the game, Luo Li knocked on the door.
”Daoist Yuan, dinner is ready,” she said to him.
”I'm coming!” Yuan said before coming out of the room with Xiao Hua.
Luo Li then led the two of them into a large room with a long table in the middle where the rest of her family was waiting.
”Thank you for accepting our invitation, Daoist Yuan.” Lord Luo said to him after seeing him.
”No, I should be thanking you for inviting me.”
”Please, have a seat.” Lord Luo gestured to the two empty seats beside him and two servants pulled out the chair for them.
”Thank you…”
After taking a seat, Lord Luo clapped his hands. A few seconds later, the servants began carrying dishes after dishes into the room.
”I have heard about your impressive appetite to eat an entire menu and made sure to have enough food so that you don't have to worry about holding back.” Lord Luo said to him with a bright smile as the table was being filled to the brim with food.
They began eating shortly afterward.
”...”
”...”
”...”
The Luo Family watched with wide eyes as Yuan consumed the food on the table as though he was a food monster.
Even Luo Li, who had seen him eat before, couldn't help but stare at Yuan with wide eyes.
'How can he still eat like that when he'd already consumed so much not too long ago? Where does the food go after entering his stomach? It's almost as though there is a black hole inside his stomach which could consume even the entire world!'
Meanwhile, Lord Luo was beginning to worry about what might happen to their family's finances if they had to feed Yuan like this every day.
A little over an hour later, after they finished eating and the servants carried away the empty dishes, Lord Luo looked at Yuan and said to him, ”Daoist Yuan, now that dinner is finished, why don't we have a little conversation? My family would like to ask you some questions.”
”Since you have satisfied my stomach, I don't mind answering a few questions. What would you like to know?” Yuan said.
”Do you have any hobbies?” Luo Li was the first to ask him.
”It may sound simple, but I enjoy doing anything that requires me to exert myself. Whether it be hunting monsters or simply walking around town, I enjoy it all.”
”I think it's wonderful.” Luo Li said with an alluring smile.
”I will ask the next question,” said Luo Ming. ”Since you mentioned hunting monsters, what's the strongest beast you've defeated so far?”
”The strongest beasts, huh? I defeated a Demonic Spider that was at the fourth level Spirit Warrior realm not long before arriving at this place.” Yuan said in a calm voice.
”A Demonic Spider?!” Luo Ming exclaimed in a shocked voice. ”Y-You are stronger than I'd expected, Daoist Yuan. Even the Elders at my sect would have trouble fighting a Demonic Spider…”
”...”
The other people in the room had similar expressions as Luo Ming after learning that Yuan had defeated a Demonic Spider. If only they knew that he'd obliterated it with a single strike.
