100: Xie family came to the door

Pedestrians on the street instinctively looked up.

“Oh, which wealthy family is having a wedding today? This fireworks display is quite unique.”

“Who cares, as long as it's lively.”

The common people discussed it for a bit, then went back to their own business, completely unaware that this firework, which in their eyes was merely for entertainment, had already stirred up a monstrous wave beneath this ancient city!

...

Xie Family Mansion, deep in the compound.

The moment that blood-colored firework bloomed!

“Found her!”

Xie Tianxing's face was now veined, and his tiger-like eyes burst forth with terrifying brilliance!

“Pass on my order!”

“Elder Xie Yun, where are you?!”

“Here!”

As soon as the words fell, an old but vigorous figure appeared like a ghost in the center of the hall.

It was an old man with white hair and beard, dressed in a gray tight-fitting suit, his aura restrained, yet he possessed the demeanor of a Grandmaster, as profound as a deep pool and as majestic as a mountain!

Grandmaster!

“You, personally lead a team of people there.”

Xie Tianxing pointed in the direction where the fireworks outside the window had dissipated, his voice chilling, “Remember, besides Young Miss, those madmen who dared to abduct my Xie Family Bloodline...”

He paused, his eyes flashing with murderous intent!

“If there is any resistance, kill them without mercy!”

“Yes, Family Head!”

Elder Xie Yun bowed, his figure swayed, and he had already disappeared from the hall.

Behind him, more than a dozen Xie Family elite guards, whose auras were formidable and who were at least at the Acquired Perfection Realm, followed like shadows, quietly catching up.

...

Fuman Restaurant, on the high platform.

The competition had already entered a heated stage.

No, or rather, it had long since entered garbage time.

On the high platform, a group of people lay sprawled out.

The burly men who had previously boasted about their “big stomachs, capable of swallowing the sky and devouring the earth” were now all like eggplants hit by frost, their faces pale, foaming at the mouth, and some even fainted on the spot, with strange “plop plop” sounds continuously coming from beneath them, and an indescribable smell began to permeate the air.

All the diners in the entire Fuman Restaurant were already dumbfounded, each staring intently at the small figure on the stage as if they had seen a ghost.

Nanny was still sitting there as steady as a mountain.

In front of her, the mountain of steamers had already stacked up to more than a person's height!

Her small hands still maintained a steady and efficient rhythm.

Pick up, open mouth, swallow.

Pick up, open mouth, swallow.

Her appearance was not like eating at all, but more like an emotionless feeding machine!

In front of her, the strong man who was hailed as the previous “Big Eater” and weighed over three hundred pounds, was now already rolling his eyes, slumped on the ground, with half an unswallowed bun still stuffed in his mouth, his whole body trembling like a sieve.

Too... too damn scary!

How is this eating?

This is clearly eating lives!

Below the stage.

Xiao Huohuo was leisurely picking his teeth, with a calm expression of “small scene, nothing to see,” as if he had long been accustomed to it.

Beside him, Xiaozhao, also known as Xie Xiaozhao, lightly covered her red lips with her jade hand.

“Senior... Senior Brother Xiao.” Xie Xiaozhao's voice trembled, and she carefully touched Xiao Huohuo's arm, “Senior Nanny... is she really okay eating like this? Will she... will she burst her stomach?”

Xiao Huohuo glanced at her, his eyes as if looking at a country girl who had never seen the world.

“Don't worry, you'll get used to it.”

He spoke indifferently, his tone as flat as if he were saying “the weather is nice today.”

“My Second Senior Sister, her appetite has always been good.”

Xie Xiaozhao: “...”

Finally.

When the last basket of buns was also easily finished by Nanny.

She finally stopped her heart-stopping actions.

The shopkeeper of Fuman Restaurant, a fat middle-aged man with a big belly, seeing this, rushed onto the stage as if granted a great pardon, holding a gong in his hand, his voice trembling with excitement!

“I announce! The champion of this year's Big Eater Bun Eating Competition is this... this little...”

He hadn't finished speaking.

Nanny patted her still flat little belly, smacked her lips, seemingly still wanting more.

She raised her delicate, doll-like face, looked at the shopkeeper, and asked in a childish yet extremely serious voice:

“Uncle, eating too many meat-filled ones is a bit greasy.”

“Excuse me, do you have red bean paste ones?”

Everyone's expressions froze completely at this moment!

Lin Fan's mouth twitched uncontrollably, and the hand holding the teacup trembled slightly.

He felt like he couldn't be this Senior Brother anymore.

Just then.

Inside a private room on the third floor of Fuman Restaurant.

An old lady dressed in brocade, with white hair and beard, was smilingly watching the dramatic scene downstairs through the window.

“Heh heh, interesting, truly interesting.”

She smiled at a housekeeper beside her, who also had an extraordinary aura: “Go, tell them downstairs, whatever this little girl wants to eat, make it for her! As much as she wants!”

“I've lived this many years, and this is the first time I've seen such a big eater and such a cute child.”

The old lady's eyes were filled with undisguised affection and admiration.

“If only she were my granddaughter, how wonderful that would be!”

Just as the kitchen of Fuman Restaurant was thrown into a frenzy by the old lady's words, preparing a “red bean bun feast” for Nanny.

“Bang!”

A loud noise!

The two doors of the restaurant, made of fine golden nanmu, were actually kicked open from the outside, exploding inwards with a roar!

Amidst flying wood chips, more than a dozen figures in uniform tight-fitting suits, with fierce auras, rushed in like wolves and tigers!

Leading them was none other than the Xie Family Grandmaster Elder, Xie Yun!

“Everyone, don't move!”

A bone-chilling voice, wrapped in the pressure of the Grandmaster Realm, instantly swept through the entire hall.

Those diners who were still shocked by Nanny's Divine Might were all dumbfounded!

Xie Yun's gaze, as sharp as an eagle's, swept across the hall and instantly locked onto Lin Fan and the other three, as well as... Xie Xiaozhao, who was wearing a veil and had a graceful figure beside them!

Found her!

A glint flashed in his eyes, and he didn't bother to pay attention to anyone else, walking straight towards the group.

“Shopkeeper!”

Xie Yun didn't even look at the shopkeeper of Fuman Restaurant, and spoke coldly.

“These five people, my Xie Family wants them. Today's matter has nothing to do with your Fuman Restaurant, and my Xie Family will bear all losses.”

The shopkeeper was already scared out of his wits, and upon hearing this, he dared not utter a single word of nonsense, nodding frantically like a pecking chick.

Are you kidding, the Xie Family!

That was a true behemoth in Lingwu City! How dared a small restaurant shopkeeper provoke them?

“Gentlemen, please come with us.”

Xie Yun walked up to Lin Fan and the others, his expression arrogant, his eyes as if looking at lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

However, what greeted him was not the expected panic and begging for mercy.

“Go?”

Xiao Huohuo, who had been silent, suddenly sneered.

He slammed the Xuan Heavy Ruler in his hand onto the table with a dull thud, then lazily raised his head and glanced at Xie Yun, his eyes full of mockery and disdain.

“Why?”

He crossed his legs and slowly said, “Your Xie Family people are truly arrogant.”

“In broad daylight, under the clear sky, they dared to molest a respectable woman on the street! We taught him a lesson, cutting off his limbs, which was already letting him off easy!”

“What? Now you still want to bully others with your power and twist right into wrong?!”

“The dignified Xie Family of Lingwu City, making such a big fuss for a scoundrel who bullies men and women, wouldn't it make the Jianghu laugh their teeth out if word got out?!”

These words were spoken righteously and forcefully.

Directly pinning a big hat of “aiding evil” on the Xie Family!

What?!

Xie Yun was dumbfounded!

The dozen or so Xie Family guards behind him were all dumbfounded too!

What's going on?

Molesting a respectable woman? Scoundrel? Cutting off limbs?

What is all this nonsense!

They were ordered by the Family Head to apprehend the madmen who abducted their Young Miss, but how did it turn into standing up for a scoundrel in this kid's mouth?

“You... you're slandering me!”

Xie Yun's old face instantly turned liver-colored, trembling with anger.

He pointed at Xiao Huohuo and roared, “What a glib-tongued brat! You're about to die, yet you still dare to speak cleverly and stir up trouble here!”

“We came here clearly because you were audacious enough to abduct my Xie Family's Young Miss!”

Saying that, he suddenly turned around and respectfully bowed to Xie Xiaozhao, who had been keeping her head down and not daring to speak, behind Xiao Huohuo.

“Young Miss, this old servant was late in coming to your rescue, please forgive me!”
