Chapter 1983: line with translation of chapter title

Only saw Wu Zhong with a look of unfinished intent, as if the battle just now was merely a warm-up for him.

Bai Yuan and two others

Bai Yuan and the two others, filled with doubt, personally stepped forward to carefully examine Wu Zhong's physical condition.

After an inspection, they found that, due to having gone through a series of fierce battles earlier, Wu Zhong had indeed accumulated quite a few injuries.

However, strangely, aside from these superficial wounds, the rest of his body seemed to be fine.

Thus, they hurriedly had Wu Zhong swallow a few healing pills.

Not long after, those wounds began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But even so, Wu Zhong's eyes, originally clear black and white, turned bloodshot red, burning with fierce fighting spirit, as if it would never be extinguished.

And this intense fighting spirit, from the moment he left the battlefield, has lingered in his heart, refusing to fade.

Even when everyone went together to Ye Zhangqing's Dong Fu to prepare lunch, Wu Zhong still wore a frown and cold stare that made him look displeased at anyone he saw.

the fellow martial brothers

Some fellow disciples, because they had not gone to the main square to watch the battle, were unaware that Wu Zhong had previously performed the feat of fighting many heroes.

Only after hearing a detailed explanation from others did they suddenly understand.

Watching Wu Zhong's receding back, these fellow disciples each showed a strange expression, muttering to themselves.

Senior Brother Wu Zhong

"Yeah, but logically it shouldn't be like this."

"Or we could go take a look again this afternoon."

When everyone heard that Wu Zhong had faced successive challenges from many cultivators of the Immortal Realm all morning and yet maintained an undefeated record, many fellow disciples couldn't help but feel curiosity and astonishment.

Everyone then decided to go to the arena in the afternoon to personally witness this splendid contest.

Ye Zhangqing

Only saw Wu Zhong's eyes still bloodshot, red as if about to blaze; but his body stood straight, like a proudly standing pine and bamboo, revealing an extremely resolute aura.

Wu Zhong and Ye Zhangqing

Senior Brother

Then he added firmly.

"If they dare to challenge Shī xiōng, they must first get past me, needing my approval first."

Seeing Wu Zhong's resolute, righteous and fearless demeanor before him, Ye Zhangqing suddenly felt at a loss, secretly wondering what was going on.

How could Wu Zhong have become like this after just one morning apart?

They glanced at each other, then lightly shook their heads, indicating they had done nothing special.

They had merely offered a few simple words of encouragement and motivation to Wu Zhong, never expecting that this kid would react so strongly because of it.

Faced with Ye Zhangqing's questioning gaze, Bai Yuan and the two others exchanged looks, paused briefly, then reluctantly spoke up to explain.

Bai Yuan and two others, this kid

Ye Zhangqing

Huh?

Ye Zhangqing and Wu Zhong

the Heavenly Family's young lady

He's clearly just a outright sycophant; how could he suddenly turn into a belligerent maniac?

Thinking this, Ye Zhangqing stared at Wu Zhong's now bloodshot eyes, pondered for a moment, then asked tentatively.

the Heavenly Family's young lady

Upon hearing these words, Wu Zhong, who originally wore a ferocious expression with blood-red eyes, seemed as if placed under a spell,

the blood in his eyes quickly faded; in the blink of an eye his face filled with delighted and fawning smiles, as he glanced left and right while eagerly asking.

immortal maiden

Ye Zhangqing

Good, this guy is still basically normal, still the one who only knows to fawn over the Heavenly Family's young lady; I was just worrying needlessly.

Ye Zhangqing

Bai Yuan and two others

Thus, everyone stopped dwelling on this, gathered around and began to enjoy the food on the table.

It's fine as long as there's no problem, and Wu Zhong, because of a remark from Ye Zhangqing, turned back into a sycophant, sitting beside him, muttering only about that Heavenly Family young lady.

Senior Brother, immortal maiden

Senior Brother, immortal maiden, Cooking King Immortal City

"Please, Shī xiōng, as long as you agree, I'll do anything."

"I think a meal from Shī xiōng is more precious than any treasure."

Ye Zhangqing and Wu Zhong

Ye Zhangqing and the Wu family

This guy might really be able to package up the Wu family and send it over to the other side.

Bai Yuan and the three simply picked up their bowls and squatted to the side to eat; Wu Zhong's licking, the three had also stopped him before.

After all, even though the Heavenly Family is powerful, you, as the Young City Lord of the Cooking King Immortal City, are groveling like this—really okay?

But it's useless; no matter what method you use, you can't stop this lovesick obsession—even this guy would rather relinquish the Young City Lord's position than give up that Heavenly Family's eldest miss.

In the end, Bai Yuan and the others also gave up—it's a hopeless lovesick obsession.
