Tuanzi tilted her little head, seriously scrutinizing the new senior brother.
The young man with a close-cropped haircut had handso features, exuding an aura of sunny vitality, though his bright eyes occasionally dimd.
The sunshine and joy were real, yet so were the disappointnt and sadness.
The little girl crossed her arms, thought for a mont, and then suddenly spread her hands, "Senior brother, hug."
Li Zhou, who was troubled, was stunned. He didn’t hesitate for long before bending down to pick her up.
Tuanzi adeptly wrapped her arms around his neck, pressing her soft cheek against him.
It was already sumr; two warm sources together should feel hot, yet to Li Zhou, it felt like spring was arriving.
Spring, the afternoon, the warm sunlight, ideal for transforming and lying on the lawn to nap.
But ever since discovering he was a beastman, he hadn’t slept as comfortably.
"Senior brother, let’s go ho. Miaomiao wants to take a nap."
Also wanting a nap, Li Zhou decided to turn back without hesitation.
However, as they passed a food street, the two of them coincidentally swallowed.
[Ancient Martial System: ...]
"So, how about we eat before going back?" Tuanzi earnestly looked at a nearby shop.
"Okay," Li Zhou agreed readily but then said with embarrassnt, "but I don’t have money."
As an adult, how could he let a child treat him?
"Miaomiao has money," Tuanzi quietly moved closer to his ear, "I’ll tell you a secret, Miaomiao is good at making money. Miaomiao has savings of..."
Li Zhou hadn’t figured out the currency value of this era, but just from hearing the amount, it seed considerable.
"And Miaomiao has given most of it to big brother to help manage; money can grow into more money!"
Seeing the cropped-haired youth’s hesitation, Tuanzi smiled and said, "Today Miaomiao will treat you, and when you have money, you treat Miaomiao, okay?"
Li Zhou couldn’t resist the temptation of food and nodded.
However, he was modest when ordering.
"That’s too little, order according to yesterday’s quantity."
Tuanzi had a good mory and ordered according to last night’s supper.
The shop owner preparing to take the order was puzzled, "Are you planning to take this to-go?"
"Nope, we’re eating right here."
Tuanzi was fearless, speaking clearly and eloquently, "After we finish here, we’ll go to the next one."
"So..." The owner glanced at Tuanzi and then at Li Zhou, "Just the two of you dining?"
Tuanzi hugged her arms and nodded, then sweetly pleaded, "Uncle, quickly place the order, the sooner you do, the sooner you can make it."
The owner hurriedly placed the order, casting another doubtful glance at Li Zhou.
This young man’s appetite couldn’t be that big, could it?
Once the dishes were served, watching Li Zhou dine gracefully yet swiftly, the owner returned to the kitchen in a daze.
Others dining or queuing in the shop were dumbfounded.
Whispered discussions drifted into Li Zhou’s ears.
"Is he a mukbang strear? With such an appetite, he should have gone viral by now."
"Impossible, if there was a big-eating, handso mukbang like this with a great physique, I would have followed him long ago."
"Did you notice? After eating so much, his stomach hasn’t changed a bit, still maintaining those abs, incredible."
Fiery gazes landed on Li Zhou’s abdon.
As he was dining, Li Zhou thought, "..." Such bold stares! In their world, only so of the Beastman Clan express emotions so directly. Many other races are extrely reserved.
Noticing people starting to take photos and videos, Tuanzi urged, "Senior brother, hurry, we need to move to the next place."
She was sowhat well-known now, and if a crowd gathered, it would be detrintal to both her al and the food street’s order. Yet she was reluctant to leave just like that.
There were still so many delicacies left to taste!
The cropped-hair youth imdiately quickened his pace.
Witnessing this, custors exclaid in surprise.
After finishing the al and settling the bill, the two quickly evaded the crowd, reluctantly passing several promising-looking shops until they confird no one was following, then they entered a new establishnt to dine.
Order—doubt—people left agape.
To ensure tasting a bit of everything, Tuanzi ordered just enough each ti.
Then she’d rest her face in her hands, watching Li Zhou eat.
[Miaomiao: Senior brother’s stomach is like a bottomless pit]
[Ancient Martial System: No, I checked with colleagues; apparently, in so worlds, Beastn can recover from injuries through eating and resting. He suffered severe injuries earlier and is now in recovery, hence the large appetite. After this recovery phase, his appetite might not be as extre, though it will still be large compared to this planet’s people.]
Tuanzi had never heard of such a setting and was imdiately worried.
"Miaomiao will order more food!"
She stomped her foot in frustration.
Senior brother was too cautious, if recovery relies on eating, he should have said so earlier instead of hesitating and worrying about spending their money.
Money can always be earned again, but the wound needs to heal quickly!
Soon, new food was brought out, filling the table again.
The owner was both stunned and ecstatic; he even doubted this guest could eat through the shop’s entire stock.
Tuanzi wasn’t about to order all the shop’s ingredients; other custors needed to eat too.
What she did was eat here for a while, then over there for a while.
The food street was bustling with tourists, so if only one store had a big eater, it probably wouldn’t get much attention. But if the big eater toured from shop to shop, quite a few patrons brought their food to watch the spectacle.
So even recognized Tuanzi, eagerly asking to treat her.
Li Zhou stuffed the last piece of rice cake into his mouth, "Junior sister, you’re quite famous!"
Many people were calling out the junior sister’s na.
"Miaomiao is not famous," Tuanzi looked at her fair-skinned arm, "Miaomiao is very fair."
Hearing this, Li Zhou chuckled softly, wiped his mouth, and lifted the fair junior sister, trying to push through the crowd.
The crowd surged towards them, with many holding up phones high.
"Junior sister, hold on tight."
Li Zhou was new here and rembered one rule: don’t cause trouble for his senior and junior siblings.
Since the little junior sister was a celebrity, he couldn’t resort to force to handle those people.
His beast eyes scanned the crowd, choosing the weakest point, then lightly leaped, clearing the crowd. By the ti everyone turned back, the cropped-hair youth had already bounced from the rooftop of one shop to another with his junior sister.
He was fit, muscles well-proportioned, carrying a child, yet moved nimbly, like a big cat leaping across rooftops, disappearing from sight in no ti.
Tuanzi, curled up in his arms, first rejoiced that they had paid the bill earlier; otherwise, they would have dined and dashed!
"Senior brother, that didn’t look like Qinggong."
She could tell that Li Zhou didn’t have much Inner Strength or wasn’t adept at Qinggong; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been stuck in a tree earlier.
"It’s not Qinggong," the young man, maintaining a human form, yet moving with the grace of a leopard, "Even in human form, a beastman can exhibit so inherent beast skills."
