Qian Renshang, acting as if nothing had happened, came over and called Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling to go eat.
The two girls exchanged a glance, then looked at Qian Renshang speechlessly.
"The three of us... going to eat together? Are you sure?"
Dugu Yan stared with her beautiful eyes, while Ye Lingling's lips twitched.
"Three people... isn't that a bit inappropriate, Brother Gu?"
"What's inappropriate?
Three people eating is more lively... Don't worry, it's my treat today, you won't have to pay."
Qian Renshang waved his hand and went straight into the Tian Dou Restaurant.
Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling: "???"
The two girls sighed helplessly, exchanging a glance.
Dugu Yan tossed her hair. "Is this guy missing a screw?"
"Maybe a little."
Ye Lingling nodded in agreement.
Dugu Yan suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Ye Lingling's fair arm, speaking in a strange tone.
"I didn't expect this, Sister Ye... you actually have feelings for that guy Gu Siyue too. Looks like we're rivals now."
"Uh... why do you look so excited when you find out I'm your rival?"
Ye Lingling retorted, somewhat speechless. Dugu Yan chuckled.
"What's wrong with rivals?
Rivals are more interesting... We've known each other since we were kids, practically inseparable.
I never thought we'd both fall for the same man. What a coincidence!"
"But don't worry, Sister Ye, I'm not going to let you have Brother Gu. We'll compete fairly!"
Ye Lingling was stunned for a moment, but quickly smiled.
"Alright, let's compete fairly!"
Dugu Yan was known for her passionate love and hate, and Ye Lingling was no less so.
Since Dugu Yan already knew, there was no need to hide it anymore.
She felt that it didn't matter which one Gu Siyue liked; the other would definitely offer their sincere blessings.
With that, the two held hands and entered the Tiandou Hotel like best friends.
Their elegant attire made their already outstanding looks even more striking, causing many of the restaurant's diners to stare in disbelief.
"Holy crap, who are these two beauties? They're so gorgeous!"
"Don't you recognize Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, these two prodigies?
Genius students from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy… one's supposedly the only granddaughter of Poison Douluo, and the other's the little princess of the Ye family, her martial soul is the Nine-Hearted Begonia."
"Hiss… beautiful, talented, and from a good family… damn, this heaven is so unfair, how come all the advantages go to them?"
"I wish I had a woman like that."
"Someone wake this idiot up."
As the two beauties entered the restaurant, the atmosphere instantly became buzzing with discussion.
There's no way around it, this is how beautiful women have always been treated.
Just as everyone was immersed in fantasies about Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, then… they saw their goddesses smiling at a young man.
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling sat on either side of the young man, even thoughtfully serving him food.
*Crunch! Crunch!*
This was the sound of a heart breaking. Many people were practically grinding their teeth in anger.
Damn it, why?
Who was this young man?
How could he enjoy the blessings of two beautiful women serving him food?
*Crack!*
"Damn it… outrageous!"
A young man in a blue outfit with short, neat light blue hair sat in the hall, staring intently in Qian Renshang's direction, his knife and fork snapping in his hand.
"Brother Tian… calm down, don't be impulsive."
"That's right, Brother Tian, you're no match for that guy."
His underlings urged him on. This young man was none other than Yu Tianheng, whom Qian Renshang had casually tossed aside some time ago.
Since that day, this proud genius had his pride broken, never to regain his former glory.
Qian Renshang's attack had shown him the vast difference between them.
The gap between them was simply too great, so he wisely refrained from causing trouble for Qian Renshang afterward.
But unexpectedly, he witnessed this scene while having a peaceful meal today.
The woman he liked was actually showering Qian Renshang with attention... Yu Tianheng immediately broke down.
"Damn it...damn it, that bastard surnamed Gu is a beast.
It's one thing to provoke my Yanzi, but why is he going after Lingling too?"
Yu Tianheng roared, he would have attacked Qian Renshang if he weren't already outmatched.
"Poor boss..."
the other underlings sighed helplessly.
...
Qian Renshang, on the other side, was unaware of the hostility he received from so many people in the restaurant; he was simply eating like crazy.
The food at this Tian Dou Restaurant was really expensive, a meal could easily cost several hundred or even a thousand gold soul coins.
If it weren't for the special allowance from Meng Shenji, he really wouldn't have been able to afford it.
Since he was spending money, he was definitely going to eat well.
"Eat... don't just put food on my plate, you two eat too, aren't you hungry?"
Qian Renshang looked at the two women helplessly.
Many of the dishes were made from rare soul beast meat, rich in vitality, which was very beneficial to soul masters.
"Haha..."
Dugu Yan chuckled dryly, "Eat... we'll definitely eat."
"Yeah, Brother Gu... you can really eat."
Ye Lingling also chuckled dryly, sigh... she thought it would be a romantic date, but now it's turned into a meal-eating trip.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, there wasn't a trace of romance in the three of them; all they did was eat.
Clang!
Soon, the only sound at the table was the frantic eating of the three of them.
After Qian Renshang had finished eating, he suddenly pulled out two small water bottles from his pocket.
The water bottles weren't fancy; they looked like they'd been picked up from a roadside stall.
"I haven't thanked you two for saving me last time! These are gifts I prepared for you!"
Qian Renshang said with a smile. Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan quickly shook their heads.
"No, we didn't even have time to do anything last time. You don't need to thank us."
"Exactly."
Qian Renshang waved his hand,
"I still need to..."
Whether he was saved or not was one thing; whether he wanted to save them was another.
Qian Renshang was clear about gratitude and didn't want to owe anyone anything.
"Take them...they're not valuable anyway, just some small gifts."
Qian Renshang forcibly handed the two small water bottles to the two women.
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were somewhat stunned as they held the bottles.
"I say, brother...you're being too stingy! How can you give two beautiful women two cheap water bottles?"
"Yeah, are there some kind of magic pills inside?"
"Beautiful ladies...you've really chosen the wrong person!"
Those diners who already disliked Qian Renshang finally found an opportunity to mock him.
Yu Tianheng, who was not far away, finally laughed at this scene.
He could finally see Qian Renshang get his comeuppance.
Qian Renshang, however, just smiled slightly.
