42: Chapter 42 I ate it! Is this feeding pigs?

Noon the next day.

Shrek Academy, First Canteen.

It was lunch hour; the canteen was bustling with noise, and long queues formed at the food service windows.

Huo Yuhao carried a stainless steel tray, weaving through the crowd like a wandering spirit.

His brain was still buzzing a little.

After last night's ordeal, his CPU had almost burned out.

Now, he just wanted to be a well-behaved diner, using food to fill the void in his battered soul.

"Yuhao! Over here!"

A crisp, melodious voice cut through the noisy crowd.

Huo Yuhao looked up and saw Tang Ya waving at him excitedly from a four-person table by the window.

Jiang Nannan, sitting opposite her, also turned her head and gave him a gentle smile.

Huo Yuhao perked up and hurried over with his tray.

"Sister Tang Ya, Sister Nannan, you just came to eat too?"

Huo Yuhao sat down next to Tang Ya without hesitation.

"I saved a seat for you."

Tang Ya smiled and placed the largest braised lion's head meatball from her plate into Huo Yuhao's bowl, "Eat more. In the future, when you don't have class, come find me, and I'll take you to eat something good."

Jiang Nannan also pushed a serving of stir-fried seasonal vegetables from her plate over.

"Don't just eat meat, eat some greens."

Jiang Nannan's voice was soft, "You're still growing; you need to pay attention to a balanced diet."

The look in her eyes as she gazed at Huo Yuhao was filled with deep, inseparable affection.

If it hadn't been for Huo Yuhao's intervention back then, she might have even sacrificed herself to Xu Sanshi to save her mother.

Huo Yuhao was a ray of light in her life.

"Thank you, Sister Tang Ya, thank you, Sister Nannan." Huo Yuhao shoveled rice into his mouth, feeling that this was what life was all about.

Gentle senior sisters, delicious food.

Perfect.

"Bang!"

A tray slammed heavily onto the table, interrupting the cozy dining atmosphere.

Huo Yuhao was so startled he nearly dropped his chopsticks.

He turned his head to see Wang Donger standing next to him with a cold face.

Without even looking at the empty seat nearby, she squeezed directly next to Huo Yuhao and sat down, pressing tightly against him.

This was a blatant declaration of territory.

"Yo, eating?" Wang Donger glanced at the lion's head and vegetables in Huo Yuhao's bowl, her tone sour, "The food is quite good, huh? You even have people specifically picking out food for you."

The smile on Tang Ya's lips deepened as she met Wang Donger's gaze.

"Oh, Junior Sister Donger is here too. Yuhao is my little brother, and as his older sister, of course I have to take good care of him." Tang Ya's words were soft but carried an edge.

Jiang Nannan didn't say anything; she just silently poured a glass of water for Huo Yuhao and placed it by his hand.

Wang Donger glared at Huo Yuhao, reached out, picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs from her own plate, and stuffed it directly into Huo Yuhao's mouth.

"Eat this! I waited in line for ten minutes to buy it!"

Huo Yuhao held the ribs in his mouth, not knowing whether to chew or spit it out.

He felt like a sandwich cookie right now.

On one side was a gentle senior sister, and on the other was an incredibly possessive "roommate."

Is this the legendary Shura field?

Before he could even swallow the ribs in his mouth, he was slapped firmly on the back.

"Slap!"

"Cough, cough, cough..." Huo Yuhao almost choked to death on the spot.

"Little Yuhao! You didn't call me for dinner! That's so uncool!"

Ma Xiaotao's signature loud voice exploded in the canteen.

Dressed in red, she carelessly pulled out the chair next to Jiang Nannan and plopped down.

The table that was meant for four was now squeezed with five people.

Ma Xiaotao completely ignored the strange atmosphere at the table.

She reached out and pinched Huo Yuhao's cheeks, pulling them outward: "You just helped me suppress the Evil Fire last night, and today you're already turning your back on me? You're pretty quick to turn your back on me after using me, aren't you?"

The boys at the nearby tables all turned their heads in unison, their eyes filled with murderous intent.

Pulling away and acting heartless?

Is that something you can say in public?!

Huo Yuhao quickly swatted her hand away: "Sister Xiaotao, don't talk nonsense! I was using Ultimate Ice to help you regulate your body!"

"I know, I know, I'm just joking."

Ma Xiaotao laughed loudly, grabbed a piece of meat from Huo Yuhao's plate, and stuffed it into her mouth, "Yo, you kid are quite popular, having a table full of beauties eating with you."

Wang Donger's face turned even darker.

Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan were also helpless.

Huo Yuhao wanted to cry but had no tears.

Just then, the canteen entrance suddenly went quiet.

That feeling was as if someone had suddenly pressed the mute button.

The originally noisy canteen fell silent, even the sound of smacking lips disappeared.

Everyone's gaze was fixed straight toward the entrance.

Huo Yuhao also curiously followed everyone's gaze.

At this look, his soul nearly flew away.

Wang Qiuer and Gu Yuena walked into the canteen side by side.

Wang Qiuer had dazzling golden hair, cold and sharp eyes, and radiated an aura of "no strangers allowed."

Gu Yuena had silver hair and purple eyes, moved with a light step, and had a faint, ambiguous smile on her face.

These two standing together were simply a dimensional strike.

The boys in the canteen stared with wide, unblinking eyes.

"Holy crap...?"

"Too beautiful. This level of beauty directly kills those inner court beauties!"

"What are you saying nonsense for? Didn't you see Sister Xiaotao and Goddess Wang sitting over there?"

Accompanied by a series of gasps, Wang Qiuer and Gu Yuena walked straight toward Huo Yuhao's table.

Huo Yuhao felt his blood pressure skyrocketing.

It's over, completely over now.

Six of them.

Gathering them all together could summon the Dragon Balls. Wang Qiuer walked to the table and looked down at Huo Yuhao.

She was carrying an exaggerated iron tray, filled with a large piece of leg meat from some unknown Spirit Beast that was sizzling with oil.

"Bang!"

The iron tray slammed directly in front of Huo Yuhao.

"Eat this." Wang Qiuer's voice was cold, carrying an irresistible tone of command.

This was how our Qiuer expressed her care.

Simple, brutal, force-feeding.

Everyone around was stunned.

What kind of maneuver is this? Feeding a pig?

Gu Yuena unhurriedly walked to the other end of the table.

No seats left?

Doesn't matter.

With a wave of her hand, a chair slid over from thin air.

She sat down gracefully opposite Huo Yuhao, holding a small, exquisite thermal container in her hand.

As soon as the lid was opened, a strange, refreshing fragrance instantly filled half the canteen.

Gu Yuena ladled out a small bowl of milky white soup and gently pushed it toward Huo Yuhao.

"I brewed it myself."

Gu Yuena smiled slightly, light swirling in her purple eyes, "Taste it while it's hot."

With this smile, the hearts of countless boys in the canteen shattered on the spot.

"Clatter."

A boy's spoon dropped to the floor.

"Am I dreaming? Who is that guy?"

"Why? Why?!"

"He eats six at one meal? Is he not afraid of bursting to death?!"

The flames of jealousy almost blew the roof off the canteen.

Huo Yuhao was currently sitting on a volcano.

Wang Donger's eyes were already spitting fire.

She stared tightly at Wang Qiuer's face, which was extremely similar to her own, her finger joints cracking as she clenched her fists.

"Who are you?"

Wang Donger opened fire directly, "Do you know the rules? Everything has a first-come, first-served basis, right?"

Wang Qiuer didn't even lift an eyelid.

"I'm letting him eat meat, what does it have to do with you?"

"You!" Wang Donger was so angry she stood up directly.

Ma Xiaotao, watching the show from the side and not minding if things got bigger, whistled.

"Yo, Little Yuhao, your luck with women is really not shallow~"

"Sister Xiaotao, please stop talking." Huo Yuhao just wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Wang Qiuer became impatient and tapped the iron tray with her chopsticks.

"Eat."

She only said one word.

Huo Yuhao shivered.

Did he dare not eat? This was the meat of the Auspicious Beast, oh no, it was the meat roasted by the Auspicious Beast.

If he didn't eat, he'd probably be physically transcended on the spot.

He picked up the knife and fork, cut a piece of roasted meat, and shoved it into his mouth.

"How is it?" Wang Qiuer stared at him.

"Delicious! It's delicious!" Huo Yuhao nodded frantically.

Wang Donger saw this, and thought, this won't do?

She grabbed her plate and dumped all the remaining food inside into Huo Yuhao's bowl.

"How can you just eat meat? Eat this!"

Tang Ya was not to be outdone and picked up another large serving of vegetables.

"Little Brother Yuhao, eat more of this, this replenishes Qi and blood."

Jiang Nannan silently pushed a bowl of rice over.

"Don't choke."

Ma Xiaotao laughed loudly and directly lifted an entire basin of spicy blood curd from her own plate.

"Come, come, if you're a man, eat spicy food! Eating this is what's satisfying!"

A basin of bright red spicy blood curd was dumped directly onto Huo Yuhao's student tray, which was already piled into a small mountain.

Gu Yuena watched this scene, the smile on her lips deepening.

She tapped the table lightly, pointing to that bowl of soup.

"Don't just focus on eating rice, drink the soup; it won't taste good if it gets cold."

Huo Yuhao looked at the food piled up like Mount Fuji in front of him.

Lion's head, roasted meat, vegetables, spicy blood curd, and a bowl of glowing soup.

This was the ultimate combination of carbohydrate explosion and dark cuisine.

"I'll eat..." Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth.

He really didn't want to eat.

But the six pairs of eyes at the table were all staring straight at him.

Twelve death rays sealed off all his paths of retreat.

As long as he dared to say half a word of refusal, the First Canteen would definitely become the biggest demolition site in Shrek Academy today.

"I'll eat!"

Huo Yuhao let out a tragic roar.

He picked up the bowl and started frantically shoveling food into his mouth.

Roasted meat in his left hand, lion's head in his right.

A bite of spicy blood curd made his tears stream down, followed immediately by a gulp of the Qi-replenishing soup; it was a dual sensation of ice and fire.

To speed up his eating, he even secretly activated Ultimate Ice to cool down the food, and at the same time, circulated Mysterious Heaven Skill to accelerate digestion.

The boys in the canteen were stunned.

"This guy is a ruthless person."

"Is he eating or risking his life?"

"If it were me, I'd risk my life too; being fed by these six top-tier beauties, even bursting to death would be worth it!"

Ten minutes later, the plates on the table were all empty.

Even the red oil soup base of the spicy blood curd had been eaten clean by Huo Yuhao mixed with rice.

Huo Yuhao slumped in his chair, staring blankly at the canteen ceiling, thinking about the origin of the universe and how humans were born...

The six girls looked at the empty plates and were finally satisfied.

"You know what's good for you." Wang Donger snorted and sat back down.

Wang Qiuer nodded: "I'll bring you more tomorrow."

"There's such a good thing?"

Ma Xiaotao was happy, "Little Yuhao, I'll come find you again tomorrow noon."

Gu Yuena slowly packed up the thermal container: "Seeing you eat so happily, I'll change the flavor for you tomorrow."

Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan looked at each other, and the two said in unison: "We'll come too tomorrow!"

Huo Yuhao let out a huge burp.

A smell mixed with roasted meat, red oil, and unknown medicinal herbs came out of his mouth.

He touched his round belly with trembling hands.

"I feel like this is even more tiring than Extreme Individual Soldier training."
