Nan Shuishui

Of course, no matter what kind of oak cake roll it was, it was still poor people's food. These two little ones must have suffered a lot in the past. They were so little, yet the first thing they noticed upon entering the restaurant was an oak cake roll.

Could this really be the best food they had ever eaten?

Luan Yu felt extremely distressed, her motherly love surging. She stroked Liuying's head with pity and tried to pick up Liuxing as well, but he avoided her.

Although Luan Yu's thoughts were unknown, Liuxing was not used to her affectionate actions. As a man, how could he be treated like a pet all the time?

Unfortunately, the arm couldn't overpower the thigh. With his small limbs, Liuxing was forcibly held down by Luan Yu, rendered helpless.

He felt utterly defeated, as if his dignity as a man had been completely stripped away.

Meanwhile, Liuying was captivated by the variety of cakes on the menu. Ignoring whatever Luan Yu was doing to her, she was entirely focused on the delicious options in front of her. For the sake of cake, she had no urge to transform this time.

In the end, Liuying ordered a strawberry sundae and a cup of Starry Tapioca Bobo milk tea.

Liuxing, on the other hand, ordered a steak—not an ordinary one, but the meat of a Fire Pattern Cow, a soul beast. Though it wasn't a hundred-year-old soul beast, it had still been cultivated for several decades.

Soul beast meat was precious, but to Luan Yu, this was nothing. A ten-year-old soul beast?

That was trivial. If her children wanted to eat, they could have a hundred-year or even a thousand-year soul beast to lay a solid foundation.

Although she loved money, she was not stingy. As a Titled Douluo and a ninth-level soul Engineer, raising two children was nothing more than a trivial task.

Watching the two little ones focus entirely on their food, oblivious to their surroundings, Luan Yu rested her cheek on her hand, smiling in amusement. For her, watching these adorable children eat was a joy in itself.

At that moment, a new guest sat at the table next to them—a beautiful woman with pink hair cascading over her shoulders, her figure curvaceous. She was accompanied by a few children around six years old.

One of them, a little girl with pink hair and pink eyes, lit up upon seeing Liuxing and Liuying eating. Tugging at the hem of the pink-haired beauty's clothes, she spoke softly, "Mom, I want a strawberry sundae, Starry Tapioca Bobo milk tea, and Fire Pattern Steak too."

The pink-haired beauty pinched the little girl's cheeks playfully and smiled. "That's a lot of food. Can you finish it? Don't waste any."

The pink-haired girl clung to her mother's arm, shaking it coquettishly. "Mom, didn't you promise that if I awakened the Rouge Dragon Martial Spirit, I could eat whatever I wanted today? If I can't finish it, Xu Shenshu and Feng Jue can help me eat."

Hearing her words, a little boy with slightly dark skin and black hair, about six years old, pulled a bitter face. He and his companion also wanted to eat what they liked, not just whatever the little girl left behind.

The pink-haired beauty patted the little girl's head helplessly. "Don't bully Xiao Shenshu and Xiao Feng. Order what you want and eat it yourself. Since you successfully awakened the Rouge Dragon Martial Spirit today, I'll indulge you this time."

Liuxing glanced at the pink-haired little girl. She looked like the mischievous type. Noticing his gaze, she stuck out her tongue at him and made a playful grimace.

Liuxing looked over at Liuying, who was fully focused on her food, and thought to himself, 'My little Liuying is still the best.'

The pink-haired beauty shook her head helplessly before nodding apologetically at Luan Yu. Luan Yu returned the nod with a friendly smile. Looking at the naughty pink-haired little girl, then at her own two well-behaved cuties, Luan Yu felt grateful that she hadn't adopted two little troublemakers.

However, recalling the conversation between the pink-haired beauty and the little girl just now, Luan Yu's eyes narrowed slightly. The Rouge Dragon Martial Soul… If she remembered correctly, that was the inherited martial soul of the Earth Dragon Sect, and only members of the main family possessed it.

In other words, this pink-haired beauty was none other than the master of the Earth Dragon Sect, Soul Doulou Nan Shuishui.

What kind of luck is this? Luan Yu thought to herself with a headache. She just brought the kids out for a meal, and she ends up running into the Earth Dragon Sect's master.

Judging from their conversation, it seemed that Nan Shuishui's daughter had just successfully awakened the family's martial soul, and she had taken the child out to celebrate.

Nan Shuishui turned around and took her seat, her face still wearing a smile. However, as she faced away from Liuxing, that smile disappeared, replaced by a solemn expression.

As a Soul Doulou, her senses were exceptionally sharp. The moment she sat down, she felt a faint pressure emanating from Luan Yu.

Unlike soul engineers, traditional soul masters, especially those with beast martial souls, had highly sensitive intuition and five senses. Nan Shuishui's instincts told her that Luan Yu was dangerous.

For her, as a Soul Doulou, only another Soul Doulou or stronger individual could make her feel this kind of pressure.

An unknown Soul Doulou has entered Dragon City?

As one of Dragon City's masters, she couldn't afford to ignore this.

But when Nan Shuishui thought of the two adorable silver-haired children, she shook her head with a smile. Perhaps she was being overly sensitive. Luan Yu had come to Dragon City with two children—she was likely just passing through.

As a mother herself, Nan Shuishui could see the genuine care and love in Luan Yu's eyes when she looked at the children. That kind of emotion couldn't be faked.

She then turned her gaze toward her own lively and energetic daughter, her eyes filled with doting affection. Today, her daughter had awakened the Rouge Dragon Martial Soul. Not only that, but she had also been born with innate ninth-level soul power, meaning she had the potential to become a Titled Douluo in the future. That thought had kept Nan Shuishui elated for a long time.

However, when she considered her daughter's mischievous personality, she felt a headache coming on. If only Qiuqiu were as well-behaved as those two little ones...

Meanwhile, Liuxing and Liuying quickly finished their meals. Soon, both of them were full and content, rubbing their small bellies in satisfaction.

Luan Yu took out a tissue, wiped the corners of their mouths, and smiled. "Are you full? Now that we've eaten, it's time to go."

"I'm full," Liuxing and Liuying answered in unison.

"Then let's go."

Luan Yu took both of their hands and led them toward the counter to settle the bill. As they passed Nan Shuishui's table, Luan Yu nodded at her in a friendly manner.

She knew well that Nan Shuishui had likely noticed her unusual cultivation level. However, as long as she didn't reveal that she was from the Sun and Moon Empire, there would be no problem—after all, she wasn't a wanted criminal.

Once outside the restaurant, Luan Yu noticed the expectant look in Liuying's eyes. Amused, she led the two children toward a small dessert shop.

The shop was clearly run by commoners. It was small and modest, with only a single woman in plain clothing tending to the counter. Liuying's gaze immediately landed on the oak cake rolls displayed in the glass case.

"Two oak cake rolls," Luan Yu said, handing over two copper soul coins. The cake rolls were quite cheap—just one copper soul coin each.

The shopkeeper was momentarily stunned. Given Luan Yu's elegant attire, she had assumed the woman was someone wealthy or noble. She hadn't expected her to order something as humble as an oak cake roll.

Although surprised, the shopkeeper swiftly packed the two cake rolls and handed them over.

Watching Luan Yu leave with the two children, the shopkeeper muttered to herself, "Are nobles these days developing such peculiar tastes?"
