Who wants to become a god? Aren't you all forcing me?

#242 - Chapter 242 Free meal?

Zhu Shifan bit her lower lip, quickly retracted her hand, and shifted her gaze unnaturally downwards, avoiding Li Chenqiu's eyes.

The moment she met Li Chenqiu's eyes, Zhu Shifan felt her thoughts become entangled like willow catkins in the wind, briefly forgetting many things, her own actions, the surrounding sounds...

At that moment, Zhu Shifan understood that there really were people who could be so handsome that they made others feel dazed.

She hadn't felt anything special when she saw him from afar, only a flash of brightness.

But when she faced him up close, she clearly felt the kind of handsomeness that was on a completely different level from the people around her.

Besides Zhu Shifan, the girls surrounding Li Chenqiu also had a similar feeling, but it wasn't obvious, and no one noticed.

"Hello, my name is Zhu Youhuan. I was also at the God Tablet that time, do you remember?"

"I think I remember."

"What about me?"

"Perhaps I remember."

...

Li Chenqiu was like the butter in a sandwich, with no freedom at all, constantly being engaged in conversation.

This scene intensified the hostility in the eyes of the surrounding candidates.

"Coming so late, dressed so casually, why is he so popular? Just because he's lucky and has a good-looking face?!"

"What's wrong? Are you jealous?"

"Me, jealous of him? What are you talking about? He's just a pretty boy with no other redeeming qualities. What's there to be jealous of? If I were to be jealous, it would be of someone like Brother Chen."

"What is there about me to be jealous of?"

"Strong strength, handsome looks, and a lot of knowledge. Isn't that worth being jealous of?"

Chen Yu from the Black Feather Tribe smiled faintly, crossed his arms, and looked in the direction of Li Chenqiu. A cold glint flashed in his eyes, which were as clear and bright as dewdrops.

His appearance, inner qualities, and cultivation were all outstanding. Why was he not the center of attention, but instead a pretty boy with nothing but looks?

Thinking of this, Chen Yu slowly clenched his left hand in his pocket, his fingertips slightly pale, and the cold glint in his eyes intensified.

"Let's go over and see this first-place winner."

Chen Yu walked slowly towards Li Chenqiu, holding a goblet.

The others followed him upon hearing this.

At this time, Li Chenqiu was chatting happily with Zhu Shifan and others. Through subtle inquiries, he also learned the identities of most people, clarifying his kidnapping targets.

"No way, can you eat this much by yourself?"

"Eat for a while, rest for a while, and accidentally eat too much."

"Gaining weight without getting fat, I wish I had a stomach like that."

Li Chenqiu smiled and took a bite of bread as if nothing had happened.

"No wonder!"

Just then, a voice came from the outside. The young people blocking Li Chenqiu stepped aside after seeing the person who had arrived.

Li Chenqiu turned his head and saw a young man in a white suit with delicate features.

He remembered this person, the second place on the points榜, the person he had pulled down by two hundred points - Chen Yu.

Chen Yu walked to the long table and looked down at Li Chenqiu, his expression very gentle and friendly.

"Chen Yu, what do you mean by 'no wonder'?"

Zhu Youhuan propped her head up with one hand, her round eyes full of curiosity.

Chen Yu shook the glass of red wine in his hand: "No wonder your physical strength is so strong. You waved your hand and sent several people flying. So it turns out you eat a lot!"

"Really? Can eating a lot make you stronger?"

"Jiang Huaijin, what do you usually eat? Tell me about it."

"Is it bread?"

Several people standing next to Chen Yu joked.

Li Chenqiu curled his lips, took a deep look at Chen Yu, and said cooperatively: "Eating a lot doesn't make you stronger."

"Ah?" Chen Yu opened his mouth in feigned surprise: "Since it has nothing to do with eating, then how can you be so strong?"

Li Chenqiu explained: "I'm not that strong. The reason why I can wave my hand and send several people flying is because they were acting for me."

As soon as he said this, some subtle changes took place in the atmosphere.

"Oh~" Chen Yu drew out his tone and pretended to suddenly understand: "So, with your own strength, you can't pass the first round of selection at all. Can I understand it that way?"

"About right."

Chen Yu touched his chin and asked in surprise: "Then what are you doing here? This gathering is only for the candidates who passed the first round of selection. Since you know you should be eliminated, why are you here..."

"Okay, a gathering is supposed to be happy. Why make the atmosphere so stiff?"

Zhu Shifan interrupted Chen Yu with a smile, secretly glanced at Li Chenqiu, and felt relieved when she saw that his expression was normal.

Chen Yu apologized: "Sorry, I'm just too straightforward and accidentally said what was on my mind. Jiang Huaijin, don't take it to heart!"

Li Chenqiu swallowed the bread in his mouth: "I won't. I'm mainly here to freeload a meal. What you said is true, I didn't think about it. I'll leave as soon as I finish eating."

"Freeloading a meal?"

"What a thrifty housekeeper!"

The surrounding people were filled with disdain and contempt when they heard this.

"Don't wait, let's go now. I'll treat you to dinner outside."

A gorgeously dressed young man walked up to Li Chenqiu, took out a stack of blue bills from his pocket, and threw them on the table.

"Hey, aren't you going too far?"

Zhu Youhuan frowned and stood up, looking displeased.

"Too far?" The young man spread his hands: "Where am I going too far?"

"You..." Zhu Youhuan pointed at the young man and was about to say something when Li Chenqiu got up and interrupted her.

"Thank you!"

Li Chenqiu reached out and stuffed the bills on the table into his pocket, then looked down at Zhu Shifan: "I see you can handle spicy food, want to eat hot pot? My treat."

"Uh..." Zhu Shifan was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "Okay."

Li Chenqiu smiled and looked at Zhu Youhuan again: "Together?"

"Me?" Zhu Youhuan pointed at herself in surprise.

Li Chenqiu nodded: "Yeah, hot pot is more lively with more people."

Zhu Youhuan's eyebrows curved like crescent moons: "Okay then!"

The three of them left together.

Leaving Chen Yu and others standing in the wind, dumbfounded.

"Brother Chen, should I not have given him the money?"

"Good job giving it, really good job!"

Chen Yu laughed in anger, tilted his head back, and drank the red wine in his glass in one gulp.

At the same time, a drone hovering in the air slowly flew away.

...

On the distant terrace, Zhu Yuan and others huddled together, watching Zhu Le's phone intently.

"Hahaha, it's done, it's done!"

"In the end, he's just a hot-blooded kid. He compromised as soon as he saw my beautiful granddaughter!"

"Looks like we don't need to take action!"

The group laughed heartily, without any suspicion of Li Chenqiu's behavior.

After all, in their opinion, Li Chenqiu was just an ordinary Second Realm God-Chosen...
