Chapter 71

Inside a chain bubble tea shop called Harbor of the Soul.

Lin Fei ordered a bottle of soda, while Zhou Yue and Wang Xiaoru both had bubble tea. They also had cake and grilled sausages they had bought outside. As the sunlight outside gradually turned from bright to golden, the three of them chatted and ate, letting time pass leisurely, feeling utterly content.

While eating the grilled sausages, Lin Fei casually glanced at the two pretty girls in the bubble tea shop and said to Zhou Yue and the others, "I've been resting at home all this time, not going anywhere. The last trip to Yacheng exhausted all my desire to travel this year."

"Don't always stay at home! Get out and move around more. There are so many beautiful sights in the world waiting for us to appreciate! Staying at home all the time is a waste of life. We should go out and explore more," Zhou Yue said, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Lin Fei.

"Stop it, don't think about me. If you want to go see the sights, go by yourself. I don't want to go through the trouble again," Lin Fei quickly interrupted her thoughts when he saw Zhou Yue's bright eyes.

"Xiao Yue, I told you your little tricks can't fool Lin Fei. Give up!" Wang Xiaoru laughed.

"Lin Fei, don't be like that!" Zhou Yue looked at Lin Fei with pitiful eyes, as if she was being bullied.

"Ah, don't look at me like that! If others see, they'll think I'm bullying you. Fine, I'll go with you," Lin Fei was completely defeated by Zhou Yue's soft approach and immediately surrendered.

"Yes! I knew Lin Fei would agree. Xiaoru, I'm amazing, right!" Zhou Yue immediately returned to her usual self when Lin Fei nodded in agreement.

"Amazing, amazing, you! I didn't expect you to act so convincingly. You should have been an actress," Wang Xiaoru said helplessly.

Lin Fei, seeing Zhou Yue's triumphant look, could only blame himself for not being strong-willed enough to resist this woman's soft tactics. "I still need more practice!"

"Lin Fei, have you marked any fun places with your spatial teleportation ability? Take us there!" Zhou Yue, having won, immediately made her request to the defeated Lin Fei.

Lin Fei took a sip of his soda and tried to cheer up. "Fun places? Let me think."

"Scenic spots, clear mountains and waters, or places with lots of delicious food," Zhou Yue suggested.

"Scenic spots, clear mountains and waters? I don't have much of a feel for that, but I do have a place marked with lots of delicious food. Do you want to go?" Lin Fei thought for a moment and remembered a city he had visited many years ago.

"Of course! Life is short, and we mustn't miss out on good food. Let's set off right away!" Zhou Yue urged as soon as she heard Lin Fei mention a place to go.

"Don't rush! We can get there in a moment. Let me finish these cakes and sausages first," Lin Fei said.

"These things can be eaten anytime! Put them away or eat them on the way. Although it's Saturday today, we only have the afternoon and evening free. We have to work at the gym tomorrow," Zhou Yue continued to urge.

"Alright! Let's eat on the way!" Lin Fei packed the remaining food into a bag, got up, and led Zhou Yue and Wang Xiaoru out of the shop.

...

A short while later.

In a remote park in Ancheng, a city a thousand miles away, Lin Fei and the two girls appeared.

Ancheng, located in the northwest of Huaguo, is a paradise for food lovers. With a long history, Ancheng is filled with countless delicious snacks and dishes, too many to count.

When visiting Ancheng, one must try these foods: Ancheng cold noodles, braised pork bao, beef and mutton soup bao, biangbiang noodles, Jia San soup bao, mirror cake, dumpling feast, sheep blood soup, braised noodles, and hu lu tou.

Since Ancheng is in the northwest inland, the temperature is much lower than in Rongcheng. A gust of autumn wind made Zhou Yue and Wang Xiaoru shiver.

Seeing this, Lin Fei quickly took out two coats from his dimensional space and handed them to the girls. "I didn't expect it to be so cold here. Put these coats on, don't catch a cold. Should I take you back to change clothes?"

Zhou Yue and Wang Xiaoru put on the coats Lin Fei gave them and immediately felt warmer.

"No need for that. This coat is enough," Wang Xiaoru said, adjusting her coat.

"Right! Going back would waste too much time. Besides, although your coat is a bit old-fashioned, it's still very warm," Zhou Yue said, looking at Lin Fei's coat.

"What do you mean, old-fashioned! I think it looks good!" Lin Fei said irritably. "Since you don't want to go back, let's head to our destination!"

"Where are we?" Zhou Yue asked, following behind Lin Fei.

"Ancheng."

"The northwest! No wonder it's so much colder than Rongcheng," Wang Xiaoru said, realizing.

"Wow, Lin Fei, teleporting us a thousand miles to the northwest, you're really something!" Zhou Yue patted Lin Fei's shoulder in praise.

"Not bad! As long as you're happy," Lin Fei rubbed his shoulder, being modest.

"Xiao Yue, you hit Lin Fei too hard! Lin Fei, are you okay?" Wang Xiaoru asked, seeing Lin Fei's action.

"Huh? I got a bit excited and couldn't control myself, but I didn't use much force. Do you want me to rub it for you?" Zhou Yue tilted her head and looked at Lin Fei.

"What! That's nothing. It's no big deal. Even if Zhou Yue turned into a mother tyrannosaurus and hit me with her claws a dozen times, it wouldn't hurt me at all," Lin Fei waved his hand, not caring.

"What did you say, mother tyrannosaurus? Are you implying that I have brute strength and a short temper like a mother tyrannosaurus?" Zhou Yue pretended to hit Lin Fei again.

"No, no! That's not what I meant. I was just using a metaphor. Your hits didn't hurt at all. Why are you misinterpreting me?" Lin Fei quickly hid behind Wang Xiaoru and explained, though he thought exactly what Zhou Yue said.

"Alright! Lin Fei brought us to Ancheng with such sincerity. Let's forgive him this time and hurry up to enjoy ourselves," Wang Xiaoru mediated.

"Hmph, I'll let you off this time. If it happens again, no mercy," Zhou Yue said, pretending to be stern.

"Thank you, Queen, for sparing my life. I'll make sure to take you to all the delicious food today," Lin Fei replied, playing along.

"You're smart. Now, lead the way," Zhou Yue nodded in satisfaction.

"As you wish!" Lin Fei immediately walked forward.

Watching these two clowns, Wang Xiaoru smiled and shook her head.
