155: Six donuts
The battle between Ye Kuang and Ying Zheng once again shook people's hearts.
At the start, Ye Kuang was directly pressed to the ground, completely unable to retaliate.
But as the number of beatings increased, Ye Kuang's Qi actually continued to rise, becoming stronger and stronger!
After reaching a critical point, he even activated his Dragon form, and his combat power surged.
Just when everyone thought a reversal was about to occur, Ying Zheng pulled out a black iron longsword and easily suppressed Ye Kuang again with his superb swordsmanship.
The subsequent battle was Ye Kuang's continuous 'sit-ups'.
Falling down, getting up, falling down again, until his body had more than eighty blood holes, he finally couldn't get up and collapsed.
This truly shocked the people.
They hadn't seen Ying Zheng's full strength at all; even at the very end, only a small tear appeared in Ying Zheng's clothes, and from beginning to end, he maintained a demeanor of ruling the world.
Xiao Fan, however, made a judgment in his heart.
This Ye Kuang is strong enough, but he must rank after Xi He.
And Ying Zheng should be even stronger than Xi He.
Immortal Fire probably can't defeat Ye Kuang; she and Ling Tianlei are about a sixty-forty split, mainly due to equipment suppression, their hard strength isn't too far apart.
So, if we're talking about hard strength, next up are Hei and Song Mingguang.
Neither of these two has gone all out yet; when Hei lost to Ying Zheng before, he also didn't seem to have fully unleashed himself.
After they finish fighting, Xiao Fan will probably know where he ranks.
He should at least be able to rank sixth or seventh...
It's unbelievable, with tens of billions of people across the entire Federation!
I've actually reached a position in the top ten of this generation?
Xiao Fan returned home and began to review the battle between Ying Zheng and Ye Kuang very seriously.
Because both of them will be his opponents in the future.
On the other side, Ying Zheng's title of Emperor was completely solidified; the entire Federation was shouting things like, 'Welcome our King'.
Too strong, too overbearing.
Ye Kuang was already abnormal enough, but he was completely suppressed from beginning to end, unable to lift his head, and he was defeated once five years ago, then returned five years later, only to be defeated again. Some people worried if his mentality would shatter.
At this moment, all of Ying Zheng's imperial might faded, and his expression became approachable.
After changing into a brand new set of clothes, he got into a low-key black sedan, wearing sunglasses and a mask, ready to go back and continue Cultivating.
But suddenly, he noticed a newly opened bakery on the street.
"Stop the car." Ying Zheng frowned, got out of the sedan, and stepped into the shop named Mimi Pastry.
Upon entering, looking at the neatly arranged array of small pastries in the warm yellow light, a smile appeared in Ying Zheng's eyes.
After taking six donuts, he came to the counter and, looking at the graceful girl in front of him, asked, "Didn't you close down six years ago?"
This unforgettable voice made Li Mi pause. After a second of stunned, she suddenly shrieked!
"It's you!"
"It's you!!!"
Ying Zheng smiled, took off his mask to reveal his true face, and said with a smile, "It's me."
"Shhh, don't tell anyone."
Li Mi's mouth dropped open in shock, her jaw almost hitting the floor.
Her family were outsiders, and because they couldn't get a middle school spot in the Imperial Capital, she went back to her hometown to study six years ago, and her parents also went back with her, but this shop belonged to them and had always been rented out to others.
Who would have thought that six years later, Li Mi would be particularly outstanding, getting into a university in the Imperial Capital, and naturally moved back.
And six years ago, when the shop was still open, Li Mi would be in the shop whether she was reciting or doing homework. The reciting voice of the ten-year-old girl attracted a lot of popularity to this cake shop.
She would also help her parents when they were busy.
In her memory, basically every week, a handsome, incredibly handsome little boy, about her age, would come to buy donuts.
Because he looked very noble, dressed in designer brands from head to toe, and had an exceptionally outstanding temperament, she gave Ying Zheng the nickname 'Noble Young Master'.
It wasn't until recently that she saw Ying Zheng while watching the Super God Class battle.
Those eyes, it was definitely him!
It was definitely that silent, wealthy Noble Young Master from back then!
At that time, Li Mi in front of the TV was excited and wanted to tell everyone about it.
But no one paid attention to her.
He's Ying Zheng, he's the Emperor, he's the strongest of this generation!
Could he possibly know a little girl like you?
You can't even brag like that, can you?
Then she thought, if the Noble Young Master sees my shop reopened, will he come here to buy donuts again?
Li Mi had always looked forward to this, which is why her reaction was so strong when Ying Zheng's voice came out.
Too bad, what if he did come?
We're not even from the same world...
Li Mi explained to Ying Zheng why the shop had been closed for six years while ringing up his purchase.
Finally, after paying, she couldn't help but ask if they could take a photo together.
"Of course." Ying Zheng put the donuts into his Storage Ring and nodded.
Finally, she reluctantly watched Ying Zheng walk out of the shop, still in a daze until the next customer came in.
After getting in the car, Ying Zheng said indifferently, "Next, go to Phoenix Villa."
The driver was a bit surprised. Phoenix Villa?
Isn't that where Xi He lives?
Another fight?
But Ying Zheng didn't say anything more, just quietly looked out the window, his expression full of reminiscence.
Soon, the car stopped outside Phoenix Villa, a villa in the suburbs, and the fiery red mountain behind this villa was where Xi He Cultivated.
At this time, in the backyard of the villa, Xi He was sitting on a long bench, bathing in the starlight, which made people feel inexplicably lonely, because not to mention people around, there wasn't even a human sound within ten miles, only her.
In her arms was a snow-white, well-behaved cat, and as Xi He's slender fingers continuously stroked its soft fur, the cat's face was full of enjoyment.
But Xi He's face wasn't so pleasant; she was scrolling on her phone and found that Ying Zheng's popularity was actually double hers, ranking first!
Not to mention Ying Zheng, even Lin Xianhuo's popularity was higher than hers; everyone was saying she was too arrogant and indifferent, feeling unfriendly and out of touch.
These were all fine, but what angered her the most was someone saying she wasn't as strong as Ying Zheng!
I'm not as strong as him!?
It's infuriating, these idiotic organizers, if they have the guts, arrange a fight between me and him!
Xi He was so angry she wanted to call Bai Duojin, but in the end, she put down her phone, always feeling that doing such a thing was too demeaning!
Forget it, what do they know?
Suddenly, she heard a faint sound of a door opening.
Xi He frowned, thinking, what suicidal thief dares to come to my house?
You're tired of living.
After putting down the kitten, she walked towards the living room very quickly.
But when she reached the main entrance, she frowned.
"It's his Qi."
"What is he doing here?"
"Where is he?"
Ying Zheng came in for a moment and then left, without saying anything.
But suddenly, Xi He sharply turned her head, only to see a Mimi Pastry bag on the tidy dining table, containing six donuts.
Looking at the familiar packaging and items, those beautiful, long-sealed memories flooded back into her mind.
"Eating too many donuts isn't good, one a day is enough."
"Then shouldn't it be seven!? Why are there only six!?"
"Eating them every day isn't good either, take a day off."
"No, I want seven!"
"Then go buy them yourself."
"No, I want you to buy them!"
"I won't buy them!"
...
"That shop closed down, what I bought today is from another bakery."
"It's not tasty, it doesn't have that flavor, I only want that one."
"It's closed!"
"Tch, with our status, is it hard to get people back?"
"Forget it, it's not good to forcefully influence other people's lives using power."
"I don't care, I just want that donut!"
"Buy it for me!!!"
In the quiet villa, where you could hear a pin drop, Xi He stared blankly at the six donuts. That face, once so arrogant, now looked a little wronged, like a girl who had made a mistake and lost some important Treasure Trove.
