Chapter 440 - Take Me Out for Lunch!

“You need to show sincerity when you apologize,” Yan Feng said, twirling a finger through her hair . “At the very least, you need to take me out for lunch . ” 

The moment the words left her mouth, her face glowed a bright red . But she couldn’t back down! She was in her twenties now, but because she had focused on cultivating, she never once had a boyfriend . She believed that love at first sight was just something out of a fairy tale, but that changed when she met Wu Zhangkong . He was simply too handsome! Even if he had some sort of baggage, that didn’t matter . To her, his good looks would make up for anything!

“Fine . ” Wu Zhangkong nodded . “What do you want to eat?” 

Yan Feng lit up . “You decide!” 

Wu Zhangkong pondered for a moment before saying, “Okay . Follow me . ” Then he turned and walked away .  

He’s even handsome from behind! Yan Feng patted her chest to calm herself down, then chased after him with a blushing face .  Those kids aren’t that bad . They couldn’t possibly be bad kids with such a handsome man for a teacher! I guess I just have to forgive them .  

Wu Zhangkong walked at a steady pace, neither slow nor fast . Yan Feng followed just behind him, utterly captivated by her view of him from behind . She was committing every detail to memory . Her eyes never left him!

Wu Zhangkong was truly eye-catching . As he walked down the street, he drew the gazes of all the nearby women, no matter their age .  

As a Soul King, Yan Feng possessed exceptional hearing . She could hear the murmurs of smitten women praising Wu Zhangkong . They were echoing the countless thoughts that Yan Feng already had in the past few minutes .

Soon enough, the two turned a corner into an alley and reached a small restaurant . The front of the restaurant was no more than four meters wide . Peering inside through the window, Yan Feng only saw four tables . Noon had nearly arrived, and she could smell a fragrant aroma wafting out from the restaurant .  

Wu Zhangkong silently stood at the door, his mind wandering off in a daze . Yan Feng could see the ice in his eyes thaw, revealing a tenderness that made her heart skip a beat .  

A plump, short-haired man in his fifties opened the door and exclaimed, “Zhangkong! You’re back! Hurry up and come in . ” He hugged Wu Zhangkong then beckoned him inward .  

If Tang Wulin had been present, his jaw would have dropped . Wu Zhangkong was actually quite the clean freak, yet he didn’t mind this man hugging him . In fact, he looked at the man warmly, nodded, then entered . Yan Feng followed closely behind him .  

The restaurant was just as tiny on the inside as it had looked from the outside . It was a bit dirty and had flies darting around the place . If any other man had brought Yan Feng here, she would have given him zero points . The place was simply too crude . But since Wu Zhangkong was the one who brought her here, she simply thought the place had character! She figured that a handsome guy like him had a good reason for coming here after all!

Indeed, the world wasn’t fair! 

The plump man led them to a table by the window . “Zhangkong, it's been so long . How have you been?” 

Wu Zhangkong sat down and leaned back in his chair . “I’ve been alright . ” 

“Is this your friend?” The man glanced at Yan Feng . She couldn’t be considered a world-shaking beauty, but she did possess her own charm . She was in her prime and brimming with youth .

“Hello!” Yan Feng smiled at the man, then took a seat across from Wu Zhangkong .

The man gaped at her . Her bright demeanor didn’t fit Wu Zhangkong at all .  

“Get us the usual . ” Wu Zhangkong said . Only then did the man regain himself .

“Alrighty then . The usual it is . I’ll go whip it up right away . ” The man turned to walk back to the kitchen, but he paused for a moment, then turned back and said, “It’s good to see you Zhangkong . It really is . ” 

After the man left, Wu Zhangkong’s expression grew icy once more . Seated across from him, Yan Feng could finally examine him properly .  His eyelashes are so long! He has pretty eyes, and his nose is high! His lips are really full too . If we got married… oh my god, what am I thinking? 

Yan Feng blushed crimson .  

“Do you come here often?” Yan Feng asked .  

Wu Zhangkong’s cold gaze focused on her . “I used to . ” 

“No wonder the boss recognized you . ”  

“Yeah . ”

“Do you live in Heaven Spirit City?”

Wu Zhangkong shook his head .

“Oh?” Surprise tinged Yan Feng’s voice . “Where are you from then?”

“Shrek,” he answered .  

“How old are you?”

Taken aback by the question, Wu Zhangkong went silent for a moment . Then he shook his head, declining to answer .

A playful light glinted in Yan Feng’s eyes . “Okay . Let me guess . Twenty seven?” 

Wu Zhangkong remained silent .

“That’s not it, huh? Are you twenty-six? Or are you actually twenty-eight?”

Wu Zhangkong furrowed his brow . “Thirty-three . ” 

“Wow! Thirty-three?” Yan Feng stared at him in astonishment . “ But you look so young! You have such nice skin . If you weren’t so mature, I would have thought you in your early twenties . I’m about to turn twenty-seven myself, so you’re six years older than me . ” 

“Oh . ” 

“You’re so concise . Do you usually talk like this?”

“Yes . ” 

“What’s going on with your disciples?” Yan Feng asked . “You said they were in the middle of an exam?”

Wu Zhangkong’s eyes brightened a bit . “It’s their end-of-semester exam . ”

Yan Feng groaned . “The boy that was leading them is no good, you know . He attacked me, then he lied and said I attacked him! He’s a real actor that one . Did you teach him that?” 

Wu Zhangkong made a helpless expression . “It wasn’t me . ” 

“Who taught him that then?” 

The corner of Wu Zhangkong’s mouth twitched, and Yan Feng’s heart nearly skipped a beat . It was her first time seeing his mask crack .  

“He was born with that talent,” Wu Zhangkong said with a hint of resignation .

“You need to be more careful with how you pick your disciples,” Yan Feng said sagely . “That aside, the boy’s like a sapling . As his teacher, it’s your responsibility to make sure he grows up straight and proper . ” 

“He won’t go astray . He’s a good kid . ” 

Yan Feng pursed her lips . “I disagree . But enough about that, let’s talk about you . Where do you teach? Which academy?”

At that moment, the plump restaurant boss brought the food over . There were candied yellow vegetables, fishy stir-fried strips of pork, spicy chicken, and a big bowl of tofu soup . Two bowls of rice accompanied the soup and the three side dishes .  

Yan Feng was actually quite hungry . Due to her excitement this morning, she had skipped breakfast . Wu Zhangkong was hungry as well . Although the shop was small, the dishes sang to their appetites .  

“No need to be polite . Let’s eat!” Yan Feng grabbed her chopsticks, picked up her bowl, and began eating . She picked up a piece of pork and put it in her mouth . One bite, and her eyes flew wide open . “Delicious! I never thought such a small restaurant could have such good food . It’s even better than big and fancy restaurants . Good pick!” 

Wu Zhangkong picked up his own bowl and began eating slowly . He stared at the dishes in a daze as he ate . He picked up a piece of the yellow vegetable and put it in his mouth . He chewed slowly, as if savoring it and examining the flavor .  

“You still haven’t answered my question,” Yan Feng said as she ate . “What academy do you teach at?”

“Shrek,” Wu Zhangkong answered quietly .  

“Shrek Academy, huh? Good one . . . ” Then the realization hit her, and Yan Feng nearly dropped her bowl . She stared at Wu Zhangkong with wide eyes, her voice going up an octave as she yelped, “Y-you’re a teacher at Shrek Academy?”

Wu Zhangkong glanced at her, then went back to eating . “What about it?” 

“N-nothing . ” Yan Feng fought to suppress her astonishment, but in her heart, she rejoiced .  He’s perfect!
