Chapter 315: Chapter 289: 5-star Demon Beast, Collecting All Entries

The main draw of this night market was its wide variety of food stalls and snacks.

Lin Yi and Qin Zhaoxue walked through the bustling night market.

The air was filled with the aromas of all sorts of delicacies.

A constant stream of people passed by on either side.

While it wasn’t packed shoulder-to-shoulder,

the dense crowd still made it hard to move quickly.

"Sister Xue, be careful..."

Suddenly, three men in front of them stopped.

With no warning, Qin Zhaoxue was about to crash right into them.

Lin Yi quickly grabbed her hand and yanked her back.

"Ah?"

Startled, Qin Zhaoxue stumbled right into Lin Yi’s arms.

Lin Yi was now over 1.8 meters tall.

He had a sturdy, well-built frame.

He wasn’t quite on Wei Nan’s level—who looked like a small mountain—

but when Qin Zhaoxue fell into his arms, she felt an inexplicable sense of security.

At the same time, she felt her cheeks and ears burning hot.

She scrambled to her feet at once.

She whispered, "Thank you..."

But the night market was crowded and the noise was deafening; Lin Yi didn’t seem to hear her.

This time, he simply took Qin Zhaoxue’s hand and led the way.

He cleared a path for her through the crowd.

Following behind Lin Yi, it was as if Qin Zhaoxue could only see him.

The vendors and the other people wandering the market...

...seemed to fade into the background.

In that instant, it felt as if they were the only two people in the world...

A little over an hour later, Lin Yi and Qin Zhaoxue’s hands were full of snacks.

"Sister Xue, these meatballs are great. Have a taste!" Lin Yi said, handing a skewer of grilled meatballs to Qin Zhaoxue.

Her hands were already full of various snacks, more than she could manage to eat.

Still, she leaned forward and took a bite from the skewer.

She nodded eagerly, her mouth too full to speak.

Lin Yi watched her and smiled. "Good, right?"

"Mm-hmm..."

"Come on, let’s go check up ahead, see if there’s anything else good to eat!"

Lin Yi took Qin Zhaoxue’s hand again and continued onward.

However, less than ten meters away from them,

two very conspicuous individuals were watching them.

"Old Mo, what do you think? My eye for these things isn’t half bad, eh? I told you they were a good match. You believe me now, don’t you?" Chu Zhengxiong said with a smug smile.

Clearly, he had arranged all of this.

’In his mind, Qin Zhaoxue’s beauty paired with Lin Yi’s talent in the Martial Arts...’

’...made them a classic case of a talented man and a beautiful woman. No one else could possibly be a better match for either of them.’

Mo Yanfeng glanced at Chu Zhengxiong.

"Mm."

"Hey, what do you mean by that ’Mm’?"

"Does that mean you agree or not?"

Chu Zhengxiong demanded, his eyes wide.

Mo Yanfeng shook his head. "It’s nothing. I think you’re right."

"Well, there you go then! Talking to you is exhausting. Come on, or they’ll disappear on us!"

Chu Zhengxiong finished speaking with a look of disgust.

He continued walking forward.

Mo Yanfeng, however, furrowed his brow and glanced around.

He had a distracted air about him.

His attention was completely focused on their surroundings.

Ever since they came to this night market, Mo Yanfeng had a strange feeling.

It felt as if a pair of eyes was always secretly watching them.

He had been searching for a long time but couldn’t find the source of the gaze.

As an experienced Demon Hunter,

he was usually extremely sensitive to danger.

This prying gaze was definitely not friendly.

But there were too many people here; finding the source wouldn’t be easy.

Still, he never let his guard down.

"It smells so good..."

Lin Yi and Qin Zhaoxue walked on for another twenty minutes or so.

In truth, they hadn’t gotten very far—not even a hundred meters.

Suddenly, the intoxicating aroma of grilled meat wafted over.

It made both Lin Yi and Qin Zhaoxue’s expressions change.

The scent of the meat overpowered all the other food stalls in the night market.

Anyone who smelled it couldn’t help but be drawn toward it, wanting a bite.

Lin Yi and Qin Zhaoxue glanced at each other and followed the aroma.

Before long, they arrived in front of a stall.

A crowd had gathered here, completely surrounding the stall.

Especially when Lin Yi looked at the other people,

he saw that each one of them had dazed eyes, staring intently at the stall.

Even though the area was already packed solid,

they still waited patiently.

"Sister Xue, maybe we should..."

Lin Yi looked back at Qin Zhaoxue.

Suddenly, he discovered that even her gaze had become dazed.

Her eyes, full of longing, were fixed on what was ahead, her expression identical to everyone else’s.

"Something’s wrong! There’s a problem with this aroma!"

Lin Yi’s heart skipped a beat as he realized something was very wrong.

’But he was also curious. What could possibly make so many people lose their minds?’

He quickly released his Heart Spirit Domain to investigate the area ahead.

An invisible tendril of his spirit passed through the crowd without any resistance, probing deeper.

An image was transmitted back into Lin Yi’s mind.

It was a barbecue stall.

It looked ordinary, with nothing special about it.

A bald, middle-aged man stood there, wearing a tank top and a pair of baggy shorts.
