Chapter 27: Chapter 27 The Little Girl on the Swing

Translator: 549690339

When the dust in the arena finally settled, two Food Spirits were already lying on the ground.

Yangyang's all-white fur was burnt to a crisp again, and a large bump grew on Dan Bao's head.

“The countdown begins in five seconds!” Jiang Gang swiftly stepped forward, observing both Food Spirits' conditions, “Five… four… three… two…”

Just as he was about to say 'one', his countdown stopped abruptly.

Dan Bao, swaying unsteadily, took off from the ground.

Although still a bit dizzy, it clearly hadn't lost its combat capability entirely.

On the other hand, Yangyang's eyes were already spinning.

A sharp whistle echoed throughout the battlefield.

“The winner of this round is Qin Lang!”

“Thank you for the great match.” Qin Lang quickly stepped forward to hold Dan Bao, rubbing the bump on its forehead.

With the first-person perspective provided by the Star Spirit Protection, he very clearly saw what had happened in the final collision.

Dan Bao's cluster version of Full Firepower hit Zhao Chen's Food Spirit squarely.

The cluster version was more concentrated in power, and Zhao Chen's Food Spirit was not in its full form after breaking through the sea of fire, hence it lost its combat power immediately.

Yet, due to inertia, Zhao Chen's Food Spirit collided heavily with Dan Bao, and it also gave Dan Bao a big jolt.

Following Jiang Gang's announcement of the Spirit Battle result, Star Power condensed from the sky and fell onto the two Food Spirits.

When the particle of light merged with the small stars swirling around Dan Bao, the stars brightened, and Dan Bao's spirits also lifted.

“I didn't expect you to have also specially trained your Food Spirit's Combat Skills.” Zhao Chen lifted his Food Spirit and looked solemnly at Qin Lang, “You're indeed my most formidable opponent.”

During these few days of special training, his Food Spirit had mastered a special way of fighting, chaining two phases of Barbaric Collision after the first.

He originally thought that with this fighting style, he could settle old scores and defeat Qin Lang.

But he hadn't expected that Dan Bao's Full Firepower would have made such great progress!

It managed to gather scattered flame attacks to such an extent!

“Special training?” Qin Lang blinked.

The training Dan Bao did to avoid having to buy a Flame Spray Gun, does that also count?

“Anyway, 1 will continue to train and improve with my Food Spirit in order to challenge you again!” Zhao Chen said before decisively turning and leaving.

“Uh… alright then.” Qin Lang looked at Dan Bao, who had already regained its spirit and whose bump was gradually healing under the replenishment of its Spiritual Power, “Shall we go home?”

“Gududu!”

Dan Bao nodded, and its eyes lit up instantly.

Tomato Beef Brisket Noodles!

“All, youth is such a wonderful gift.”

With arms crossed and watching the receding figures of the two boys, Jiang Gang laughed.

In just a few days, both of them had made noticeable progress in comparison to their last Spirit Battle.

Continually growing and improving with their Food Spirits, that's what's appealing about being a Food Spirit trainer!

By the time Qin Lang left the Association, it was already completely dark.

The street lights by the roadside were lit, casting white halos onto the ground.

Human and spirit chatted as they walked until Dan Bao's gaze suddenly shifted towards the roadside.

That was the park where Dan Bao had practiced Full Firepower before.

“What's the matter?” Qin Lang asked half-jokingly, “Do you want to train again this evening?”

“Gududu!”

Dan Bao's head shook gently, prompting Qin Lang to look carefully.

Under Dan Bao's guidance, Qin Lang noticed a figure sitting on a swing in the park.

He couldn't see the other person's face in the dim light, but they were wearing a skirt, so it was probably a young girl.

Before Qin Lang could say anything, Dan Bao had already flown over to the girl.

So Qin Lang, who wasn't eager to interact with strangers, had no choice but to follow along.

As he got closer, he realized the little girl was even smaller than he had imagined, probably less than ten years old.

Even though the law and order situation in Dongxia City was very good, it wasn't appropriate for a girl of such a young age to be out alone at night.

In addition to…

Seeing that Dan Bao flying around the little girl, Qin Lang sighed internally.

The atmosphere had come to this, he'd better ask about her situation.

“Little sister, aren't you going home now that it's so dark outside?”

The little girl pulled her gaze back from chasing Dan Bao, glanced at Qin Lang, then looked again at Dan Bao.

The air seemed to freeze in that moment.

Since he was here, naturally he had to find out. Qin Lang decided to try a different question.

“Are your parents nearby?”

The response was still the girl glancing at him before looking away.

“You…” Qin Lang's expression quickly turned to one of pity and heartache, “Can't you speak?”

Hearing this, Dan Bao by the side also couldn't help but show a sympathetic expression, nuzzling the little girl's hand.

The little girl:”…”

Qin Lang met with a spirited roll of the little girl's eyes.

“I can talk!”

It was good that she was speaking, Qin Lang smiled, “Okay then, have you had dinner yet since it's so late?”

The little girl hesitated for a moment, then nodded her head.

Apparently worried that Qin Lang might think she couldn't speak again, she added, “I have already eaten.”

However, the moment after she spoke, the sound of her stomach growling punctuated the quiet of the park.

Qin Lang watched as the little girl's blush began at her chin and gradually spread to her forehead, her whole face flushed bright red as if about to emit smoke, he couldn't help but chuckle.

He quickly hit the electronic mokugyo twice.

And with Qin Lang's laughter, the little girl's face became even redder.

“Let's go, I'll take you to eat something. Let's fill your stomach first,” Qin Lang shook his head helplessly.

“You can't just eat things given by strangers,” The little girl pouted.

“You have a sense of vigilance, well done,” Qin Lang pointed at a shop not far away, “There's a dessert shop over there, we can buy it there, you can relax now, can't you?”

The little girl hesitated for a moment.

She was truly starving.

The man's Food Spirit looked so cute, he must be trustworthy… right?

She decided to trust him a little bit.

“I'm borrowing it, I'll pay you back in the future!” The little girl spoke earnestly, standing up from the swing.

Qin Lang was slightly taken aback.

The little girl in front of him did not seem like an ordinary child from her speech and dress.

He had no idea how she ended up here.

The two of them walked into the dessert shop, and as soon as they opened the door, the scent of baking wafted in.

The smell made a relieved expression appear on the little girl's face.

Qin Lang glanced around the shop and then turned to the little girl.

“Pick whatever you like,” he said.

The little girl was quite straightforward. She carefully looked over the rows of shelves with a discerning eye that didn't match her age, and then picked up one bag and handed it to Qin Lang, “This one.”

“Daisy Ripple Cake?” Qin Lang took it, faintly smelling the fragrance of daisies wafting from the packaging.

It looked quite like a cookie, with distinctive ripples on the surface, a good appearance, and a not too high price.

After willingly purchasing it, they returned to the park.
