Chapter 2317: How Could Grabbing Food Be Considered a Private Fight?

Fighting is fighting, but the food must not be wasted; both of them are very clear about this.

However, the aftermath of the fight quickly attracted the Heavenly Family Law Enforcement Team, and the leader immediately shouted in a cold voice.

「Stop, slurp................ 」

While speaking, the surrounding rich aroma also made him unconsciously inhale the saliva that was about to flow out.

This aroma is deadly; how can it be so mouth-watering?

As the Heavenly Family Law Enforcement Team arrived, the two were forcibly separated.

In Thus English: Thus English: Dengtianxiancheng, private fights are not allowed, yet after being apprehended by the Heavenly Family Law Enforcement Team, both shouted in dissatisfaction.

「We didn't fight privately. 」

「You think I'm blind? 」

「Can grabbing food be called a private fight? 」

Huh???

One of them shouted, straining his neck, 'We didn't fight privately; we were grabbing food.'

Upon hearing this, the leader of the Heavenly Family Law Enforcement Hall's face darkened immediately; these two scumbags, does he think they're three-year-olds?

He then waved his hand impatiently, without further words, and directly ordered his subordinates.

「Take them away. 」

He then glanced over the others present, especially those sharing a meal, and gave them a stern warning.

「I don't care whether you pooled money or grabbed food; whoever dares to fight privately again, I'll have you all locked up in prison. 」

Having said that, he led the two away.

With the warning from the Heavenly Family Law Enforcement Team, the crowd indeed restrained themselves somewhat; after all, in Thus English: Thus English: Dengtianxiancheng, the deterrent power of the Heavenly Family Law Enforcement Team is still enormous for many ordinary cultivators.

Few dare to defy the Heavenly Family Law Enforcement Team.

However, this calm did not last long; after only about a quarter of an hour, someone again quarreled over unfair meal distribution.

After a heated argument, the result was the same: nobody would yield to anyone.

Seeing this situation, it seemed they were about to come to blows, and indeed, this time it turned into a three-way brawl.

The fight was even more intense than before, and soon the Heavenly Family Law Enforcement Team arrived again.

It was still the same team as before.

There's nothing to be done; after all, this street is under their jurisdiction.

The Heavenly Family Law Enforcement Team has many squads, each assigned a specific jurisdiction every month.

Within that jurisdiction, any incident during the month is handled by that squad, unless the jurisdiction changes next month, in which case personnel are swapped.

Therefore, the private fight that broke out again at the canteen entrance is definitely their responsibility.

Seeing this again, the leader didn't bother to speak, simply waving his hand.

「Seize them. 」

The three cultivators still engaged in combat were immediately subdued by the Heavenly Family Law Enforcement Team.

However, regarding this, the three were not afraid at all; instead, they shouted, straining their necks.

「Sir, if you're going to punish me, could you at least let me finish my meal first? 」

「Bullshit, the remaining rice is mine; sir, let me finish my meal, and you can have me sit in jail for however many days you like. 」

「You've had enough; clearly I ate one bite less earlier, sir, this remaining rice should be mine—please decide for us. 」

Huh???

Seeing that it had come to this, the three still showed no remorse, and the leader's face turned ashen.

Originally, the area around the canteen was filled with aroma; he too is human and unable to resist the hunger, yet he must maintain order, his heart already vexed, and hearing this only made him furious beyond restraint.

He said through gritted teeth.

「Take them all back and lock them up. 」

Upon hearing this, the other Heavenly Family Law Enforcement Team members, also full of resentment, roughly dragged the three away.

How could they not be vexed? They also wanted to eat, but there was nothing they could do.

First, as members of the Heavenly Family Law Enforcement Team, they simply have no time to queue at the canteen.

Moreover, the canteen has a rule: no matter one's status, even if they are the heads or ancestors of the great immortal clans in the city, they must queue when they come to the canteen.

Queuing would take several Shíchén, and with their duties, they naturally don't have that much time.

They had wanted to avoid trouble, but the canteen's private fights come one after another.

They had barely left when they had to come back again.

Yet upon approaching the canteen vicinity, the rich aroma made them unable to resist their hunger.

This is practically a vicious cycle; are these guys deliberately making them hungry?

Filled with resentment, their actions naturally would not be lenient.

「Hey hey hey, sir, be gentle, my hand is about to break. 」

「Shut up, behave. 」

「Sir, bring the food, I'll eat it in prison. 」

They had all been apprehended, yet still thinking about the food; upon hearing this, that law enforcement team member was about to retort, but inadvertently caught sight of the remaining half of the meal.

Although it's leftovers, the aroma is truly genuine.

His eyes rolled about, unsure what he was thinking, but he still picked up the meal and took it away together.

「Sir, let me take it, let me take it. 」

「Bullshit, it should be me who takes it. 」

「You two only contributed three thousand immortal crystals; the remaining four thousand immortal crystals were provided by me—I contributed the most, so definitely I should take it. 」

You ate the first bite.

Shut up, everyone.

The three were taken away directly, and after being locked up in the Enforcement Squad's big cell, that Enforcement Squad member earlier ignored their frantic shouting.

Holding the leftover food, he came outside the prison.

Seeing this, the companions all asked with puzzled faces.

What are you doing coming out with that bowl of leftover rice?

I have my own use.

Huh???

Saying that, the person strode toward a nearby corner; seeing this, the companions, puzzled, curiously followed.

Immediately, they saw the person start eating heartily.

You... you... you...

How come, leftover rice can't be eaten? We've worked so hard, we're starving, yet we still have to go to the canteen; I also want a bite of the canteen's food.

Seeing the companions' strange expression, the person's face flushed red and he swore while speaking.

But inside, he couldn't help sighing, 'Delicious, indeed delicious.'

But just as his words fell, he heard the companion say with a serious expression.

Give me a bite too.

Huh???

We work hard on duty, what's wrong with eating a bite of rice? Quick, quick, quick, let me also relieve my hunger.

Exactly, these guys don't follow the rules, what's wrong with eating their box of rice?

In a moment, the remaining food was quickly divided up by the Enforcement Squad members.

The amount was not much, each person just tasted a bit, some still wanting more, but at that moment someone suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said mysteriously.

Everyone, you say we're busy with duties every day, so we have no time to queue; we rarely get a chance to eat the canteen's food.

Who says otherwise? Maybe there's a way; we're bound by our duties, we don't have that much time.

Exactly, I heard that if you want to have a meal at the canteen now, a queue missing two Shíchén is impossible.

Alas, we're also unfortunate; wanting just a bite, why is it so hard? If we had time, we'd definitely go queue, not afraid of the cost.
