The duck was momentarily stunned. Before Shen Rui could retrieve it, it tried to spit out a fireball. Just as its beak was about to burst into flames, Cheng Dahua stretched out its beak and opened it wide, covering the entire duck's head and trapping it inside!
"Lamb, lamb, lamb, lamb!"
Suddenly, everything went dark. The little fireball that Yaya had spat out silently disappeared into the darkness. Cheng Dahua didn't swallow Yaya; she just covered it. Yaya fluttered around inside, its cries distorted.
You think you can spit out a second fireball?
"Quack quack quack quack!"
"hiss--"
Both the lizard and the radish fan laughed in unison.
Cheng Anlang watched their reactions nervously, considering whether he should immediately have Da Hua release the duck.
Zhang Mingyu chuckled helplessly as he touched the lizard watching the show.
Yu Ya exclaimed, "Da Hua's mouth really can eat anything!"
Shen Rui stood up and asked the duck inside through the big flower's mouth, "Still spitting fire?"
"Lamb, lamb, lamb!"
Shen Rui glanced at Cheng Anlang, who immediately understood and told Cheng Dahua to release the duck.
Cheng Dahua licked the duck's whiskers with her tongue for a while before letting the duck out.
"Gah—!"
With a shriek, the duck flapped its heavy, wet wings, trying to take flight to find Chen Rui. However, its wings were covered in so much drool that it splattered onto the table as soon as it stretched them out, leaving a trail of drool. It struggled to get up, but collapsed again after a few seconds. It immediately tried to set itself on fire to dry itself off. Seeing this, Chen Rui quickly reached out and picked it up: "Don't light it on fire, don't ruin the table."
"Gah..."
Shen Rui used a napkin to wipe the drool off the duck's head and threw it into the water basin: "Stay in there and behave yourself."
"Gah..."
Cheng Dahua swallowed Yu Ya's crepe into her mouth and stuck out her tongue at the listless duck: "Hehehe."
You think you can steal my burrito?
Chapter 27, Part 27: It's Over
Cheng Dahua ate the shredded meat roll that Yu Ya fed her with relish.
Cheng Anlang took the sealed fish tank out of the mini storage compartment and handed it to Zhang Mingyu.
Zhang Mingyu asked, "When will we change to the new mecha?"
Cheng Anlang said awkwardly, "We...we'll have to wait a while longer..."
Zhang Mingyu: "Not enough money? I'll give you the money for the next potion first?"
Cheng Anlang quickly waved his hand: "No need, no need, I've already found a way to make money, I'll try it when I have time."
Zhang Mingyu had no choice but to give up: "Okay, if you have any difficulties, you can come to me... cough, you can also come to Shen Rui and Yu Ya."
Upon hearing this, Shen Rui raised his hand to his chest and said, "Don't look for me, I don't have time!"
Yu Ya glared at Shen Rui, then turned to Cheng Anlang and said, "Don't be shy. We've known each other for so long. If there's trouble, you should still speak up. Like the previous challenge, if I hadn't happened to find out and told Zhang Mingyu, were you planning to go to the competition alone?"
Cheng Anlang nodded slightly.
Yu Ya: "See, do you treat us like outsiders?"
Cheng Anlang quickly denied it: "No, no, I've always been very grateful to you."
Yu Ya: "We're friends, there's no need for thanks. Even if Shen Rui is your sponsor, you don't need to feel inferior to him. Just work hard, and besides... it's not certain whether he'll be your sponsor in the future..."
A surge of warmth welled up inside Cheng Anlang, and he nodded: "I understand, I will, I will look for you in the future."
As for the second half of his sentence, he was interrupted by the sound of the door opening before he could think about it in detail.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
The waiter pushed in a trolley full of food, and the private room was immediately filled with a delicious aroma.
Cheng Anlang sensed that Cheng Dahua was about to become agitated, so he immediately reached out and gently touched Cheng Dahua's head. Cheng Dahua, drooling, stared blankly as the waiter brought the tray to the table.
"Quack quack quack!" Seeing the table full of food, the duck instantly regained its energy and was about to take off, but Shen Rui grabbed its neck and made it thrash around in the water.
The waiter placed the dishes from the cart on the table and bowed slightly, saying, "Please enjoy your meal."
Shen Rui released the duck neck, and Cheng Anlang saw this and also slowly and shakily released his hand that was pressing down on Cheng Dahua.
"Awooooo!"
"Caw caw caw!"
Luo Sifen and Xigua were immediately frightened. They had only been frightened by Yaya before, but now Cheng Dahua had come along, a double whammy of demonic sounds and double the torment.
Before coming here, Cheng Dahua wanted to maintain a reserved demeanor, but after seeing Ya Ya, who was always causing trouble, she decided to abandon her reserve. After all, there was someone else to keep her in check.
Cheng Dahua let out two howls and immediately stretched out her stems and leaves to reach out and grab the large scallops from the plate. At the same time, the duck took off in a splash of water.
"Gah—"
Cheng Dahua felt a large shadow fall down on her head. She reflexively turned her head, and Ya Ya was startled and immediately flapped her wings. However, it was too late. Ya Ya flapped her wings in mid-air for half a second, and in the gap between Cheng Anlang's reach to grab her, she fell in with a "whoosh".
