Breaking off an engagement? Foodie system!

On the Kyushu Continent, in Yunlan City, at the Lin Family!

In the splendid main hall, two rows of tables and chairs were arranged on either side.

At the head seat on the left sat a remarkably handsome young man, about seventeen or eighteen years old, and opposite him sat a beautiful woman.

“Lin Dong, I won’t say much else! I came here to…”

“Stop, Liu Yanran, don’t say another word! I know what you want to do, you want to break off the engagement, right?!”

“How did you know I came to break off the engagement…”

“Enough. Today, it’s not you breaking off the engagement with this Young Master, but I, Lin Dong, breaking off the engagement with you, Liu Yanran!”

“Here’s the marriage contract. From now on, let’s each be well!”

Before Liu Yanran could finish speaking, Lin Dong anticipated her anticipation, pulled out a marriage contract, slapped it on the table, then turned and left gracefully.

He didn’t forget to call out to the stunned Butler beside him: “Butler, see the guest out!”

Butler: “Miss Liu, please leave!”

Liu Yanran was utterly bewildered, holding the marriage contract, and walked out of the Lin Family in a daze.

Wasn’t she supposed to be the one to break off the engagement? How did she end up being the one broken up with?

Walking out of the Lin Family, the more she thought about it, the more something felt off.

She was Yunlan City’s number one female Prodigy; if anyone was going to break off the engagement, it should be her. How could it be Lin Dong, that good-for-nothing, breaking it off?

Wasn’t she at a disadvantage?

But the deed was done, irreversible…

Mainly, Lin Dong’s move had completely bewildered her, leaving her no time to react, and she fell into his trap.

…

On the other side, at the Lin Family.

Lin Dong returned to his private courtyard, exclusive to him, the Young Master of the Lin Family.

Lying on a chair, with his hands behind his neck, humming an unknown tune, he felt secretly pleased recalling what had just happened.

“Liu Yanran, with just you… you still want to contend with this Young Master?”

“Did you really think all those novels I read in my previous life were for nothing?”

As he chuckled, Lin Dong fell into thought. It seemed he had been in this world for eighteen years now, hadn’t he?

That’s right, Lin Dong came from the azure blue planet.

In his previous life, he had just finished using the restroom, and simply because he stood up too quickly, his vision went black, and in a blink, he Transmigrated into the body of the newborn Lin Dong on the Kyushu Continent.

On the Kyushu Continent, Mortals could Cultivate, learn Spell Divine Abilities, shatter mountains with their fists, pluck stars with their hands, and the strong were revered.

And his parents were both Cultivators!

They were once renowned Tiangang Realm experts in Yunlan City. Before his parents left, the Lin Family was even the head of the Five Great Families in Yunlan City!

Lin Dong was delighted with this identity at birth.

In his previous life, what Lin Dong yearned for most was Cultivating Immortals, not only to fly through the sky and burrow into the earth, but also to step on the sun and moon and pluck stars! He never expected to have the chance to achieve it in this life!

With parents, he would surely become a great expert in the future, right?

But it wasn’t until two and a half years ago, when his Aptitude was tested at Seven Stars Academy, that Lin Dong was found unable to Cultivate!

This left him utterly disheartened! He lay at home for two and a half years!

As for the engagement, it was a childhood betrothal arranged when his parents were still alive.

Wait a minute…

A good-for-nothing Young Master!

Breaking off an engagement?

Thinking of this, his mouth twitched slightly, and he said, “Damn, such an old-fashioned trope actually happened to me? Am I about to rise up?”

At this moment, a clear and pleasant voice suddenly sounded in his ear: [Ding! Detecting that the Host is eighteen years old, the Glutton System automatically binds to the Host! Binding successful! Host receives Newbie Gift Pack x1. Do you wish to open it?!]

“Holy crap!”

Lin Dong stood up excitedly: “It’s really a System!”

Seeing the System’s prompt, Lin Dong’s mouth twitched. Was the power of being eighteen so strong? It made the System eighteen years late!

However, it’s good that it came!

Lin Dong couldn’t help but smile.

With the System by his side, it seemed he, Lin Dong, was truly about to rise up!

The next moment, Lin Dong felt a surge of information in his mind, which was the System’s basic functions. He quickly understood the System’s capabilities.

“I can gain Divine Abilities by eating?”

Lin Dong couldn’t help but exclaim excitedly: “Is this System really that awesome?”

The System’s most basic function was that by eating, one could gain Divine Abilities. This meant that whatever you ate, you would gain a Divine Ability related to it.

For example, if you ate a bird and used the System function, you would have a chance to gain Bloodline Divine Abilities and Aptitude attributes, such as its Iron Claw Technique, or Myriad Feather Transformation Sword, etc.

It was simple and easy to understand.

However, not every time would a Divine Ability be obtained. There was only one chance to obtain a Divine Ability each day.

Lin Dong said without hesitation: “System, open the Newbie Gift Pack!!”

As he spoke: [Ding! Congratulations to Host for opening the Newbie Gift Pack: immortal-grade divine ability card x1, Imperial Rank Divine Ability Card x1, Glutton Cultivation Technique “Devouring Heaven Scripture”. This Cultivation Technique contains the Heaven-Swallowing Creation Chapter, Physical Body Melting Heaven Chapter, Divine Soul Refining Heaven Chapter. All things can be swallowed!]

[Ding! Daily refresh, obtained Normal Divine Ability Card x1!]

immortal-grade divine ability card: Using this card guarantees an Immortal-Grade Divine Ability!

Divine Ability ranks are divided into: Low, Middle, High, Peak, King, Emperor, Saint, Imperial! Immortal…

Awesome!

Lin Dong didn’t understand the Glutton Cultivation Technique, but he felt it was incredibly powerful.

But Divine Abilities, he understood those!

Lin Dong jumped up, “Immortal-Grade, it’s actually the legendary Immortal-Grade Divine Ability! And Imperial Rank! This Newbie Gift Pack is too generous!”

Lin Dong was so happy he almost fainted.

Divine Abilities were extremely precious. Ordinary Cultivator Families would at most have one Peak-Grade Divine Ability.

Moreover, they were all ancestral collections, regarded as the Family’s secret techniques not to be passed down!

Even the Lin Family’s highest-grade Divine Ability was a King Rank one.

Higher-grade Divine Abilities were only found in some large Sects and Holy Lands, such as Emperor Rank, Saint-Grade, etc., but they were all the foundations of the Sect.

And Lin Dong, right from the start, obtained Immortal-Grade and Imperial Rank Divine Abilities. How could he not be thrilled?

Imperial Rank Divine Abilities, even some Holy Lands and transcendent Families might not have them. If one appeared, it could even cause Saint-Grade mighty figures to fight over it.

Not to mention Immortal-Grade Divine Abilities, which only existed in legends!

Lin Dong was a bit impatient: “Should I try out the Normal Divine Ability Card first?!”

Lin Dong took a look; he had three chances to obtain Divine Abilities: one Immortal-Grade, one Imperial Rank, and one daily.

“You’re the one! Brother Chicken!”

Lin Dong happened to see a spirit chicken he raised wandering in front of him. He grabbed it, and instantly set a pot to boil water. Brother Chicken struggled painfully and cried out, but it was all in vain.

He was reluctant to mess around with the Immortal-Grade and Imperial Rank ones, but the daily one was fine anyway, as it refreshed every day.

A moment later, a fragrant aroma filled the air. The roasted chicken, with its golden-brown skin, sizzled with oil. Lin Dong grinned and immediately dug in.

“Delicious!”

“Hiss, it’s a bit hot!”

Lin Dong ignored the heat, took a big bite of the chicken leg, and with a thought in his mind: “System, use one Normal Divine Ability Card!”

[Ding! Host ate a bite of chicken leg, consumed Normal Divine Ability Card x1, obtained Low Grade Divine Ability, Ji Ni Tai Mei Step! Speed increased by 100%]

Ji Ni Tai Mei Step?

The next moment, Lin Dong felt a surge of information in his mind. There was a small figure in his mind, constantly practicing strange footwork.

Soon, in a blink, he didn’t know how many tens of thousands of times he had practiced.

Lin Dong’s feet and body began to move along with the small figure.

He couldn’t help but sway from side to side, walking and jumping, and soon his feet felt much lighter.

Awesome!

Hahaha!

Lin Dong moved through the courtyard, laughing uncontrollably. His speed had doubled!

Indeed, just as he thought, eating a leg gave him a leg technique Divine Ability, and the Divine Ability he obtained was even at max level by default?

“Young Master, what are you doing?!”

At this moment, the Butler couldn’t help but step forward to comfort him: “Don’t be too sad! And don’t do anything foolish!”

From his perspective, as soon as the Young Master returned, he sat on the chair, first looking distressed, then occasionally giggling.

Now, while eating chicken, he even jumped up excitedly and danced strange dances!

This child, was he going crazy?

Lin Dong said: “Sad about what? Butler, are you mistaken? I’m the one who broke off the engagement! The one who should be sad is Liu Yanran!”

“Besides, I’m happy!” Lin Dong grabbed the Butler’s shoulders with both hands, shaking the bewildered Butler.

“Young Master, I understand, I understand!”

The Butler nodded, but his eyes still held pity and disbelief.

His parents’ departure, and his fiancée coming to break off the engagement—such a series of major blows would be difficult for anyone to accept, let alone Lin Dong, who was still young.

Masters, I’m sorry to you all!

Lin Dong said: “Butler, go get the Dragon Blood Flower that Father treasured! I have a great use for it!”
