“Cough… Hahaha… Xue Bufu! I’m sorry! Haha…”

Xue Bufu sighed in resignation and gently brushed off the rice from his nose.

Gu Meow Meow: “What are you doing, meow?”

Yun Xinghai: “I’m feeding you…”

“I…” Gu Meow Meow was speechless: “Fine, as long as you’re happy.”

Seeing this, Yun Xinghai once again brought the small yellow croaker to her mouth: “Open up, ahh~”

Gu Meow Meow reluctantly leaned forward: “Mew meow!”

She took a bite and swallowed the whole small yellow croaker in one mouthful. She also took the opportunity to lightly bite Yun Xinghai’s finger.

“Hiss! You bit me?” Yun Xinghai instinctively put his bitten finger into his own mouth. When he was young and his hand bled, he would always want to taste the blood. Over time, it became a habit, and whenever his finger hurt, he would put it in his mouth.

Gu Meow Meow’s cute face turned red in an instant! “Meow?! What… What are you doing?”

This was like…indirect kissing!

Yun Xinghai lightly sucked on his own finger and said: “Fortunately, it didn’t bleed… Why did you bite me?”

Gu Meow Meow stared blankly at his finger: “I…”

“Ah, forget it, it’s okay.”

He then picked up another fish, using the same hand as before. And handed it to Gu Meow Meow: “Here.”

Gu Meow Meow’s eyes were still fixed on his finger. This… There was still his saliva on it… This… This was not okay! I absolutely cannot eat it!

Then she slightly opened her lips and, enticed by the small yellow croaker, gradually approached it. Definitely not for any other reason.

Meow… Should I eat it? Shouldn’t I eat it? Do I eat it or not? While getting closer, she was constantly conflicted in her mind. Just as she was about to open her mouth…

“Forget it, I’ll just eat it.”

Suddenly, Yun Xinghai retracted and put it into his own mouth. He chewed it with relish, and his eyebrows couldn’t help but raise a few times: “Mmm! It’s quite tasty!”

Huh!? Gu Meow Meow opened her mouth, tilted her little head, and looked at Yun Xinghai with a puzzled expression.

Chen Xing sat diagonally across from Yun Xinghai, desperately holding back, almost choking from laughter.

Meanwhile, Gu Meow Meow closed her eyes in frustration, her eyebrows furrowed tightly!

Chen Xing suppressed his laughter and watched the two of them. He clearly felt a sense of intimidation emanating from Gu Meow Meow, like a cat’s fur standing on end. But Yun Xinghai seemed oblivious to this and picked up another small yellow croaker.

He stuffed it into his mouth and couldn’t help but exclaim: “Delicious and crunchy! It’s so tasty!”

He enjoyed the meal with great relish.

This remark made Gu Meow Meow’s face turn black with anger! Really. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

Finally, she couldn’t take it anymore!

“Mewow!!!”

A shrill cat cry startled everyone!

She suddenly stood up! A toy hammer appeared in her hand.

Chen Xing paused for a moment; he was very familiar with this thing!

Even Zero widened her eyes: “Huh? A toy hammer!”

“Bang!”

She struck him on the back of his head. Gu Meow Meow delivered a critical hit with a horizontal swing!

“Bang!”

Gu Meow Meow followed up with a double hit!

“Bang!”

Gu Meow Meow executed a downward strike!

With each hammer blow, Yun Xinghai’s head bobbed forward, as if nodding in agreement.

Bang, bang, bang…

Combo x99…

Yun Xinghai’s nodding x99!

After a series of combos, Yun Xinghai was left dazed…

Chen Xing laughed uncontrollably.

Zero was bewildered: Where did they buy that toy hammer? It’s so sturdy!

As for Xue Bufu, he had lost his appetite due to Chen Xing’s antics, but now he had regained it. It was incredibly appetizing!

“Hmph!” Angry, Gu Meow Meow pulled her small yellow croaker back in front of herself.

After being hammered, Yun Xinghai finally ate his meal obediently. However, he was still pondering a question: Something’s not right… There must be something wrong… Why did I get hit, but not Master?

Chen Xing certainly wouldn’t tell him that the toy hammer Zero used had already been broken, and she had switched to a new one.

Xue Bufu hadn’t expected that the meal would be so delicious. Yun Xinghai didn’t expect it either… He didn’t expect the small yellow croaker to be so delicious. Hey! It’s really tasty!

After finishing their meal, they returned to the training hall.

There were no more activities in the afternoon for the Spirit Masters. After performing their skills a thousand times, they would need to go home and rest. So, Zero happily followed Chen Xing to earn some money.

They first went to the sword department, then the knife department, followed by firearms, possessed weapons, special weapons, and general weapons…

It’s worth mentioning that not all Spirit Masters’ spirit forms are weapon types. Some have different forms that may provide attribute bonuses but are not suitable for combat. For example, those with a light bulb form, or Yang He, the Green Hat officer from before.

Although the green hat isn’t suitable for combat, it has powerful functions. It can be understood as a Sherlock Holmes hat that turns the wearer into a brilliant detective.

…

Anyway.

Chen Xing toured all the branches of the reserve team. Yun Xinghai, Gu Meow Meow, and Xue Bufu followed him and also toured all the branches.

They took the opportunity to learn from Chen Xing’s courses. As a result, the young A-rank Spirit Masters in the reserve team who had received Chen Xing’s meticulous guidance remembered this young master Xing.

Chen Xing’s reputation quickly spread in the reserve team: There’s a new Master Xing! Proficient in martial arts, be it fist, knife, spear, or staff, he excels in all weapons! Even the other mentors learned from him.

And Chen Xing, he got 800 million Spirit Points for free! 1.6 billion crystal coins. And 15,000 Master Points.

He felt incredibly satisfied!

【Spirit Point Balance: 2.2059 billion…! 】

【Crystal Coin Balance: 3.82972 billion…! 】

【Master Points: 15,000 】

He suddenly felt that upgrading Zero and San’er wouldn’t be difficult at all. Zero’s Elf Twin form seemed to be right in front of him!

After touring around, it was already late in the day.

Chen Xing took little Zero home.

Xue Bufu, Yun Xinghai, and Gu Meow Meow were already familiar with each other, so they had dinner together.

“Sigh…”

Yun Xinghai let out a deep sigh.

Gu Meow Meow noticed and asked, “What’s wrong, meow?”

“I just feel like time flies so fast… The day is already over, and I wanted to learn more from Master,” Yun Xinghai replied.

Xue Bufu nodded in agreement, expressing his approval. He had followed Chen Xing for a tour today and felt enlightened! He even had confidence that after learning for a while, he could strive for the title of Grandmaster in martial arts, becoming the youngest Grandmaster in history. Of course, that’s assuming Chen Xing doesn’t go for any titles himself.

“I wonder where Master lives…” Yun Xinghai suddenly said.

Xue Bufu responded, “I actually know. Why? What’s the matter?”

“Oh!? Really!?” Yun Xinghai instantly became excited.

Xue Bufu nodded, not sure what he had in mind.

“That’s great, Big Brother Xue!” Xinghai exclaimed with excitement, then turned to Gu Meow Meow, “Gu Meow Meow, stop eating!”

“Miaow? What now?” Gu Meow Meow asked.

“We’re moving!”

“Miaow!?”

“Yes! Moving! We’ll move to Master’s place, and we can train with him at night too!” Yun Xinghai said enthusiastically.

Xue Bufu: !?

“What a great idea! I want to go too!” Xue Bufu chimed in.

Chen Xing, who was walking home while holding Zero’s hand, suddenly shivered.

“What’s wrong, Chen Xing?”

“Nothing, maybe it’s just a bit chilly tonight.”

“Um…”

After hearing that, Zero let go of his hand and took a few small steps before running up to Chen Xing with a smile on her face. She opened her arms, and the crescent moon hung in the sky behind her, but even that moon couldn’t compare to the beauty of her shining eyes.

“Chen Xing!” Zero’s voice was filled with joy.

Chen Xing smiled as he looked at her adorable appearance. “Hmm?”

“No need to feel cold when we hug! Hehe…” Zero said.

Chen Xing’s heart instantly warmed, and he walked up to her and lifted her up in his arms. Under the silver moon, he gently kissed her lips.

“I will only love you forever,” he whispered.

“I feel the same… I will only love you forever!” Zero replied.

In the dark corner of the system, San’er couldn’t help but show an aunty smile as he watched the couple. In his heart, he thought, 【 May everyone in the world find their true love. 】

Suddenly, the system made a “Ding~” sound. The long-lost broadcast voice appeared once again.

【 Congratulations, host, for making the system show a happy smile! You have unlocked a hidden module of the system: ‘San’er’s Dog Food Warehouse!’ 】

Chen Xing: Oh ho!?

San’er: What is this thing!?
