Chapter 171: Double Strike Sword; Venti Challenges Ochre to a Duel (Request Subscription)

Although he had this thought in mind, Han Feng did not speak up directly.

Who ever shows up at someone's door and demands they become a maid?

It's better to let her experience the magic of the manga shop first.

Thinking of this, Han Feng smiled.

"Welcome, Young Lady Noelle. Here, you will have the chance to acquire all kinds of abilities.

One day, you will succeed in joining the Windrider Knights and don that armor symbolizing honor!"

"Really? Can I… really do it?"

Hearing Han Feng's words, Noelle asked excitedly.

Although she is currently a maid, she has had a dream since childhood.

That is to become a glorious Windrider Knight!

Precisely because of this grand dream, even without obtaining knight qualification,

Noelle has diligently studied the conduct and etiquette of knights.

But despite this, her progress has seemed limited.

And this morning, she heard the legend of the manga shop.

A place that can change one's fate!

This sparked Noelle's interest, so she sought out Venti,

and finally succeeded in arriving at this place.

"Yes! The manga 'Seven Five Zero' contains all kinds of miraculous abilities—you can obtain anything you desire from within."

Han Feng nodded with a smile.

In Han Feng's view, Noelle becoming a Windrider Knight was merely a matter of time.

She simply lacks certain abilities at present, which is why she cannot pass the strict knight selection.

But here, with Han Feng, she can achieve comprehensive improvement.

Whether in strength, culinary skill, or anything else.

Yet, once she stays here long enough,

there's a chance she might no longer wish to join the Windrider Knights at all.

"That's wonderful!"

Hearing Han Feng's words, Noelle was overjoyed.

Watching Han Feng and Noelle chat so happily, completely ignoring him,

Venti couldn't help but feel helpless.

You asked me why you needed me to speak well of you—

now the answer is clear.

The Maine Coon Beast seemed to sense its master's mood and sighed along.

"Boss, do you have any manga now? Like that one, 'Little Master Chef'?"

After smelling the aroma of pan-fried dumplings and learning about Golden Fried Rice with Eggs,

Noelle was now very interested in that culinary manga.

She longed to learn its cooking techniques immediately.

In response, Han Feng shook his head.

"You've come at an unlucky time—every seat is taken, and not a single manga remains."

"Huh?"

Venti and Noelle both froze, then turned to look toward the manga section.

Indeed, seven or eight people were already seated there.

Each held a manga in hand, occasionally emitting strange sounds.

"She's here too?!"

At this moment, Venti noticed the woman in the corner and slightly furrowed his brow.

In the manga section, the woman seemed to sense Venti's gaze and turned to look back.

"Who is this person?"

Muttering under her breath, the woman shook her head and returned to her manga.

Venti awkwardly rubbed his nose.

Not being recognized by her—was that his luck or his misfortune?

Han Feng naturally noticed this scene too.

"The plot has already changed—I wonder if the event where Venti's Divine Core is extracted will still happen."

Han Feng thought to himself.

"Then I'll wait a little while."

Noelle said understandingly.

"No need—Ochre has arrived; she must have finished reading."

Han Feng gestured toward her back.

Noelle turned around and saw Ochre walking over, holding a manga book.

She even greeted Noelle.

"Wasn't it just as I said? Extremely unique?"

Watching her place the manga on the counter, Han Feng teased.

"It really is very peculiar!"

A strange expression crossed Ula's face.

At first glance, she was startled by the male lead's cautious nature.

For example, when buying equipment, others usually take one.

At most two, keeping one as backup.

But this guy? He actually asked for three!

One to wear, one as backup, and one as backup for when the backup goes missing.

Absolutely ridiculous!

And when going outside the village to fight a Shi Laimu, he opened with an Atomic Fission Slash!
