Steamed Dumplings and Great Ominous Signs

Xiao Feng ignored Dai Mubai's arrogant behavior and instead shifted his attention to the people still waiting in line.

  [Ding! Congratulations to the host for encountering the storyline character 'Tang San,' triggering the random projection mission — Revive the Tang Sect!]

  [Ding! Mission content: Help Tang San establish a new Tang Sect and make it famous across the Douluo Continent. Mission reward: An additional lottery draw.]

  As Xiao Feng's gaze slowly swept across the crowd, the system's notification followed closely behind. His pupils narrowed slightly as he locked onto a young boy with ordinary features, dressed in a light blue outfit.

  Since this black-haired youth was Tang San, the girl in the pink dress beside him must be that rogue rabbit.

  [Ding! Congratulations to the host for encountering the storyline character 'Xiao Wu,' triggering the random projection mission — Beast Ascension!]

  [Ding! Mission content: Help Xiao Wu become a god. Mission reward: An additional lottery draw.]

  The outcome didn't surprise Xiao Feng. As he turned his gaze to the girl with the scorpion braid, the system notification sounded as expected.

  After seeing the specifics of the two tasks, Xiao Feng couldn't help but frown slightly.

  Honestly, the tasks triggered by Tang San and Xiao Wu weren't particularly difficult.

  After all, in the original storyline, once the Shrek Seven Devils became gods, the name of the Tang Sect became famous across the Douluo Continent.

  However, according to the original plot's progression, it would take at least another ten years for Tang San and the others to reach godhood. Xiao Feng had no intention of staying in the Douluo Continent for that long.

  Thus, Xiao Feng began to hesitate, wondering whether he should abandon these troublesome babysitting tasks. After all, failing the projection tasks carried no penalties.

  While Xiao Feng was frowning in thought, Xiao Wu, who was curiously glancing around, noticed him as well.

  Following Xiao Feng's line of sight, Xiao Wu suddenly realized, angrily, that he was sneaking a peek at her chest.

  She immediately covered her chest and, pointing at Xiao Feng, furiously shouted, "You pervert! How dare you take advantage of me!"

  ???

  Faced with Xiao Wu's outburst, Xiao Feng blinked in confusion, put away the mission panel in front of him, and looked up at the fuming Xiao Wu.

  Seeing Xiao Feng pretending to be innocent, Xiao Wu became even more enraged, gritting her teeth, "Apologize to me right now, or I'll beat you so hard you'll be picking your teeth off the ground!"

  At this moment, Xiao Feng still didn't realize that, because Xiao Wu couldn't see the mission panel, she had mistaken him for a pervert.

  Feeling a bit baffled, Xiao Feng had no intention of tolerating Xiao Wu's baseless accusations.

  Glancing at Xiao Wu's barely-developed chest, Xiao Feng sneered, "Sorry, I think you misunderstood. I have no interest in steamed dumplings."

  After saying this, Xiao Feng ignored Xiao Wu, whose face had turned red with anger, and looked towards the back of the line.

  [Ding! Congratulations to the host for encountering the storyline character 'Zhu Zhuqing,' triggering the random projection mission — Sisterly Rivalry!]

  When Xiao Feng saw the cold and alluring girl dressed in black with a voluptuous figure, the system notification sounded again.

  [Ding! Mission content: Help Zhu Zhuqing gain the power to defeat Zhu Zhuyun. Mission reward: An additional lottery draw.]

  It really was true what they say: look no further than your toes to find a rare beauty!

  Compared to the ordinary steamed dumplings, Xiao Feng much preferred the lethal allure of great omens.

  It wasn't that Xiao Feng looked down on the less fortunate — he was just worried about the future.

  "Steamed dumplings? Your whole family is steamed dumplings! If I don't beat the crap out of you today, it won't matter how clean you are!"

  No one, man or woman, likes to be told they are small — and especially not someone like Xiao Wu, who liked to cause trouble.

  Xiao Wu was always the one bullying others. When had anyone ever dared to bully her?

  Feeling humiliated, Xiao Wu bent her right knee and launched a kick towards Xiao Feng's chin.

  Xiao Feng quickly turned his hand into a claw and, like lightning, grabbed her ankle, stopping her attack.

  Pink!

  Xiao Feng momentarily paused, captivated by the unexpected sight before him.

  As expected of the rogue rabbit — even when fighting, she didn't care that she was wearing a skirt. It was basically a free show!

  An opening!

  Taking advantage of Xiao Feng's momentary distraction, Xiao Wu flipped onto his shoulders, locking his neck tightly between her long, flexible legs.

  "Waist Bow!"

  Before Xiao Feng could react, Xiao Wu activated her first soul skill, dramatically increasing the strength of her waist, and bent backward, turning herself into a human bow.

  Just as Xiao Wu was about to throw Xiao Feng off, she found that he was completely unmoved, as if his feet had taken root in the ground.

  "Had enough fun? Now it's my turn."

  Xiao Feng sneered, grabbed Xiao Wu's ankle, and swung her around like a windmill.

  Off you go!!!

  After spinning her a few times in mid-air, Xiao Feng finally released his grip, throwing her toward a distant clearing.

  "Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

  Just as Xiao Wu was about to hit the ground, several blue-silver vines shot out, wrapping tightly around her waist and pulling her back to Tang San's side.

  "Isn't that a bit much?"

  Tang San glared at Xiao Feng with a murderous look. "Xiao Wu was just teasing you, but you attacked her seriously. Don't you think you've gone too far?"

  "Clap clap clap..."

  Xiao Feng couldn't help but clap mockingly, "Not bad, not bad at all — you've got the spirit!"

  Although Tang San didn't understand what Xiao Feng meant by this, he could sense the sarcasm in his tone.

  You've chosen death!

  "Blue Silver Bind!"

  Standing on moral high ground, Tang San had no intention of wasting words. He immediately activated his first soul skill, launching an attack on Xiao Feng.

  "Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

  Dozens of thick blue-silver vines burst from the ground, tightly wrapping around Xiao Feng's limbs.

  "Do you think these flimsy vines can hold me?"

  Xiao Feng sneered disdainfully, flexing his muscles.

  "Bang bang bang..."

  In Xiao Wu's incredulous eyes, the vines, which were tougher than ox tendons, were instantly shattered into countless pieces by Xiao Feng's raw power.

  Even Dai Mubai, who had been watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but show a look of surprise. He had recently fought Tang San and knew just how difficult it was to deal with those vines.
