Chapter 110: Chapter 87: Living Buddha Immortal
"It really works!"
Xu Lei was overjoyed.
He buried his head and continued to feast.
The two Human Puppets didn’t eat; they just sat silently to the side with their arms crossed.
’I’m cheating the system. Just like that, I’m cheating.’
’It’s only my second life, and I’ve only been through twelve years of arduous Cultivation!’
As Xu Lei ate, he couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. ’Other Cultivators still have to suffer through abstinence, but I don’t have to anymore.’
’But this didn’t just come from nowhere.’
’First, thanks to my efforts to end the chaotic era in my past life, I was able to Inherit the Dao Seed, carrying my Dao Seed Realm Cultivation into this life.’
’That’s why I was different from ordinary children from the very beginning.’
’After that, it was also because of my past life’s memories that I acquired things like the Spirit Gathering Array.’
’And because of all that, I became entangled with Qi Yang, which led to this opportunity with the Phoenix True Flame!’
’And if I hadn’t happened to obtain a Treasure like the Locust Leaf Flying Ship, I might not have been able to obtain the Phoenix True Flame so smoothly this time.’
’You could say this good fortune is the result of the accumulation of my two lives’ efforts.’
’From now on, I must continue to forge ahead bravely on the path of Cultivation.’
’However, I can now enjoy life while cultivating at a leisurely pace.’
’That includes having children. I can start having them now.’
’After all, only by having enough children in this life can I guarantee I’ll be reborn as a man if I happen to die unexpectedly.’
’But right now, to have children, I can’t act as Zen Master Bu Zhong while wearing the face and identity of the True Monk, Hui Chi.’
’Otherwise, my Phoenix True Flame will be exposed.’
’Unless I can get a Treasure that can disguise my appearance, only then can I go back to being Zen Master Bu Zhong.’
’So I can only have children in the secular world.’
’And I can’t just have them in one place.’
’As the saying goes, a sly rabbit has three burrows. I need to have them in three or more places.’
’Then, if possible, I need to find a way to offer my bloodline to the Royal Family.’
’And then, in my next reincarnation, I’ll be born directly as a Prince!’
As he thought about this, Xu Lei was also furiously devouring the meat in front of him.
Soon, he had single-handedly devoured nearly three pounds of beef.
A roast chicken and a bowl of plain noodles arrived, and Xu Lei finished them off as well.
"Waiter, bring me another three pounds of beef!"
Then, Xu Lei ordered again directly: "Three roast chickens! Three bowls of plain noodles! There’s plenty of silver coins for you!"
Xu Lei tossed out a small piece of silver. "Get it for me!"
The reason he hadn’t ordered everything at once was because Xu Lei wasn’t sure how this place’s food would taste.
Now that he found it delicious, Xu Lei decided to eat more.
After all, he had been deep in the mountains for a while, and his own grilling skills were a bit lacking.
"Right away, sir! Please wait a moment!"
Seeing the silver, the waiter naturally had no suspicions.
He was busy and didn’t notice that Xu Lei was eating it all by himself.
He assumed that the two masked, black-clad guards beside Xu Lei were also eating, so he thought nothing of it.
’That guy can really eat!’
This astonished the people at the table next to Xu Lei. ’There are three of them at the table, but those other two in black haven’t taken a single bite!’
’That young man is eating all by himself!’
’Three pounds of beef, three bowls of noodles, and three roast chickens, and he’s still not full?’
’He’s ordering more?’
’Is he a reincarnated starving ghost?’
The six people at the table looked at each other in disbelief.
That’s right. In their eyes, Xu Lei was a young master with two guards.
Since Xu Lei had come to eat meat and drink, he was naturally wearing a hat, not revealing his bald head and Monk identity.
And although Xu Lei was already twenty-two, his Cultivation had reached a minor level of success a few years ago, allowing him to slow the aging process.
Thus, he still looked like a teenager.
However, the six people at the neighboring table would not dare to discuss him openly.
And since the man who had tasted the food earlier showed no ill effects, their table had also begun to feast voraciously.
But for the most part, it was the four burly guards who ate the most.
The young woman in men’s clothing didn’t eat much, but her appetite was normal for a girl her age.
However, the frail-looking young man ate very little.
Xu Lei noticed this but paid it no mind.
Before long, more beef, roast chicken, and plain noodles were served.
And once again, Xu Lei began to gorge himself, eating with wild abandon.
"Government Officials on duty! Arresting a wanted criminal!"
But just then, the sound of galloping horses suddenly came from the mountain road outside.
Then, a group of uniformed Government Officials surrounded the entire restaurant.
One of them, a middle-aged man leading the group, held up his blade and said coldly, "Everyone cooperate with the investigation! Those who resist will be killed without mercy!"
Xu Lei was stunned. He hadn’t expected this to happen, but he wasn’t flustered. After all, he was a real Monk with a proper Monk’s Certificate.
"Hm?" But then Xu Lei’s eyes darted aside. He noticed that the six people at the next table had turned pale at the sight of these Government Officials.
The four burly men immediately moved to protect the twins.
"Kill them! Leave no one alive!"
Even more unexpectedly, the middle-aged Government Official swordsman who led the group drew his blade and gave the order.
As he spoke, he slashed twice, slicing the throats of a family of four who had been cooperating with the investigation.
"SHING! SHING! SHING!"
"SQUELCH! SQUELCH! SQUELCH!"
At the same time, the other Government Officials began to wildly attack all the patrons in the restaurant.
How could ordinary diners have expected Government Officials to suddenly start a ruthless slaughter? Many couldn’t even react before they were killed.
Even those who were vigilant and carried weapons for travel were hopelessly outnumbered. In an instant, more than half the people in the restaurant were cut down.
Of course, inside the restaurant, the majority of the Government Officials’ forces were charging toward the table of six next to Xu Lei!
Each of the four burly men was highly skilled, clearly the product of years of training.
They drew their blades to fight back, protecting the twins.
