Chapter 1837 - 1436: I’m Not a Push-Over!

Gu Changsheng bit into a freshly boiled piece of lamb, heard what the Holy Envoy Child said, turned to glance at him, and casually said, "Is that it? You’re overthinking..."

"Well..." The Holy Envoy Child looked around, dissatisfaction written in his smokeless eyes.

He had also gnawed on dry biscuits for four days, but he was more tormented because he had to watch Gu Changsheng and her group enjoy delicious and spicy food right before his eyes for four days!

So, his dissatisfaction was even greater!

"I just want to eat a meal in peace..." Swallowing the lamb in his mouth, Gu Changsheng continued eating.

In front of so much food, could just a few words from me make this pack of hungry wolves retreat?

Don’t overthink it!

They were momentarily stunned, but once they recovered, they would only think that Diluo Han, their perceived leader, was a coward; and under the temptation of delicious food, they would surely take the risk to attack and rob food again!

Gu Changsheng had anticipated this, but she just hadn’t eaten her fill yet!

Consider it a tactic to delay, at least let her get a full stomach, right?

Even the Emperor doesn’t send hungry soldiers, there’s no reason to let the hungry go against so many people?

Thinking this, Gu Changsheng ate with great joy, without any mental burden!

Zhou Mu felt helpless, sighed, and could only keep putting more food into the jade bowl in front of Gu Changsheng, hoping she would eat up quickly.

Shi Wujue had never seen Gu Changsheng like this, constantly eating, could this be what she means by the self-awareness of a foodie? It truly left him speechless!

Gu Changsheng and her group gathered around the hot pot, eating with great enjoyment, but from the perspective of the surrounding people, the scene was quite striking!

Only Diluo Han and those who had seen Gu Changsheng’s confrontation with Diluo Rong in the first layer of Star Innate Tower retreated slightly inconspicuously, while the rest of the hungry wolves showed no intention of backing down, each staring straight at Gu Changsheng, watching them eat heartily, continuously swallowing, as their eyes glowed green...

It must be said, although Diluo Han’s appearance seemed like a brute, in reality, his ability to reach the Third Layer of Star Innate Tower last time was no coincidence; he is very cautious and cherishes life, as evidenced by the fact that he does not dare to act rashly as the forerunner when unsure of Gu Changsheng’s strength!

Thus, he retreated; he could not risk his life over food, even though the food was so tempting!

"Diluo Han, that coward, got scared by that woman with a few words! I’m not a vegetarian!" Finally, as Gu Changsheng and her group were eating heartily, a strong guy couldn’t hold back any longer, swallowed the excess saliva in his mouth, shouted resentfully, and then rushed straight at Gu Changsheng!

Gu Changsheng was in the middle of eating, a piece of green vegetable between her chopsticks, when she heard the commotion, her Phoenix Eyes turning cold, yet she didn’t move, calmly scolding, "Really impatient! If you want to die, wait until I’ve eaten enough, get lost!"

As Gu Changsheng finished speaking, the charging strong guy had already reached the pile of food, grabbing onto a burlap sack!

Almost at the same moment, Gu Changsheng moved her hand, flicked her wrist, sending the vegetable leaf flying towards the strong guy’s face...

"Slap!"

The soft, boiled vegetable leaf hitting the face made quite the sound...

"Thump!"

Unexpectedly, under the attack of a cooked vegetable leaf, the strong guy let go of the burlap sack, staggered backward a few steps, and sat down heavily on the ground, making a loud sound!

Witnessing this, the crowd with glowing green eyes couldn’t help but shudder, just hearing the sound felt like a sharp pain in their own behind!

"I don’t like being disturbed while eating. If you’re smart, wait until I’m full and then come forward to die!" Gu Changsheng coldly glanced at the strong guy and said nonchalantly, then bowed her head and continued eating.

As she thought, her delicious food was a heavy reward in the eyes of these hungry wolves, and with great reward comes great courage. See, isn’t this courage?

However, she was merciful; I don’t kill while I’m eating!

She had lost her inner strength, but she still had speed beyond limits. After all, her speed was never born out of inner strength, which is likely Gu Changsheng’s greatest asset after losing her inner strength!

Although speed can’t decide everything, her having absolute speed sets her apart among this group of people without inner strength!

Just as she could repel the strong guy with a cooked vegetable leaf, she understood the limits of speed and the result of counterforce...

Suddenly, the surroundings fell silent...

Now not only Diluo Han, but everyone had to suspect whether Gu Changsheng’s inner strength had not actually disappeared...

Otherwise, how could she use a limp vegetable leaf to repel a strong guy?

However, some felt it must be a coincidence; the first layer of Star Innate Tower absorbed everyone’s inner strength, there can’t be exceptions, Gu Changsheng’s success in one strike must be just coincidence!

"Ya ya he! You woman, you’ve gone too far! I won’t let you off!" Knocked down by a vegetable leaf, the strong guy felt like his entire backside was about to burst, it hurt so much. Looking around, everyone was staring at him with doubt-filled eyes, making the strong guy furious with embarrassment. He got up from the ground, ignoring his throbbing behind, and charged at Gu Changsheng once again...

"Get lost!" Gu Changsheng gave him a cold glance, and another vegetable leaf flew over...

No surprise, the strong guy once again fell to the ground. This time, he staggered backward and landed on his backside...

Only, the sound of the landing was much louder than before...

Just hearing it made people feel the pain!

Being knocked back by a vegetable leaf twice in a row was nothing less than a humiliation for the strong guy. However, this time, he really couldn’t get up. His backside was in genuine pain. He needed to take a breather...

Seeing the strong guy get knocked down twice consecutively by Gu Changsheng, the crowd’s expressions changed slightly but quickly returned to normal. After all, a strong guy is still a strong guy. A bit of cowardice and uselessness might still be expected...

Others might have thought this, but Diluo Han did not. He clearly saw Gu Changsheng’s hand movement as she waved out the vegetable leaf, too fast for the eye to follow. Just like when she killed Diluo Rong, her actions were astoundingly quick, almost inhuman!

Diluo Han was cautious and cherished life. He firmly believed that there are no coincidences in the world; every chance occurrence has an inevitable reason...

While others were not paying attention, Diluo Han took a step back again, his gaze towards Gu Changsheng becoming more cautious...

This woman is not one to be trifled with!

But just as Diluo Han was secretly retreating, and the crowd looked down on the strong guy, the guy sitting on the ground finally felt the pain in his backside subside a bit. He hurriedly got up, his rugged face flushed with anger...

This time, he didn’t say much more. Having lost face twice, saying anything more would be in vain. So, without further ado, he silently charged towards Gu Changsheng’s direction...

Even though his backside was sore, and the two falls were too harsh, this time the strong guy used all his strength, but his speed was noticeably slower than the previous two times...

"Damn it, never-ending, is it? I’m not some pushover! Coming after me repeatedly, do you think I’m dead?" Gu Changsheng, who was eating, had her phoenix eyes already blazing with fire.

Hell, this guy just doesn’t get it. She admired how he was willing to risk his life for food, considering him a fellow foodie comrade, so she went easy on him twice. Why is he still pushing it?

Ignorant fool!

Once is fine, twice is tolerable, but the third time’s a death wish!

The flying strong guy, upon hearing Gu Changsheng’s words, instinctively froze!

The crowd’s gazes all turned towards Gu Changsheng, anticipating her next move!

"Why is it so hard to peacefully enjoy a meal?" Gu Changsheng cursed under her breath. The vegetable leaf in her hand flew out again, "Wasting food, damn it!"

Under the crowd’s watchful eyes, the vegetable leaf pinched in Gu Changsheng’s chopsticks flew out...

Still soft, just cooked...

Greasy, still dripping with oil...

Then...

They clearly saw the vegetable leaf spinning and swirling, trailing a streak of oil...

Finally, it slapped onto the strong guy’s neck...

Then, the strong guy, who had just charged towards the mountain-like sack of food, stopped!

Seeing this, the crowd couldn’t help but pause, a look of disbelief flashing in their eyes, as a single thought simultaneously crossed their minds: Is that it?

The previous two vegetable leaves at least knocked the guy back several steps and made him crash on his backside. This time, it seemed to have no effect at all?

This doesn’t seem right!

Under the crowd’s uncertain and bewildered gazes, the phoenix-eyed Gu Changsheng near the hotpot widened her eyes, looking at the motionless strong guy. She hurriedly stood up from the hotpot, shouting urgently at Yuan Bao, "Yuan Bao, save the food quick! Don’t let it get contaminated!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd couldn’t quite react, clearly not understanding what Gu Changsheng meant...

While they were at a loss, Yuan Bao instantly snapped out of it!

Being a fellow foodie, Yuan Bao, like Gu Changsheng, was extremely concerned about the food!

So, Yuan Bao immediately dashed towards the stiff strong guy, grabbed the sacks in front of him, and fervently tossed them backwards, still howling continuously, "Food! Food..."
