"Bastard, who the hell do you think you are?! We are just trying to speak with the Little Fairy of Gluttony!" One of the individuals who tried to force his way through and was sent flying returned shortly after to shout at Yuan.

"Little Fairy of Gluttony?" Yuan couldn't help but crack a chuckle after hearing her nickname.

"Anyway, she's a friend of mine, and we don't need any distractions. I don't mind if you watch from a distance, but stay away from my friend unless you want to die."

Of course, Yuan had no intention of killing anyone, but Yingzi was a different story. He didn't know much about her or the limits of her patience, and the last thing he wanted was for things to escalate due to her unpredictable nature.

"Unless you want to die." The man repeated Yuan's words in a mocking tone. "Get a load of this bastard!"

Suddenly, another figure stepped forward. He was a skinny young man with depraved facial features, looking like a ghoul.

"Step aside before you get hurt." The skinny man warned Yuan as he showed off his Spirit Grandmaster cultivation base.

"..."

After a moment of silence, a low sigh resounded.

"Should I just get rid of all of them?" Yingzi stopped eating to ask.

Yuan looked at her and said, "Just focus on your food. I can deal with them myself."

"Alright." Yingzi no longer paid them any attention and returned to eating her food.

Yuan released a defeated sigh the next moment. He looked at the skinny man and muttered, "Since we've already attracted this much attention, there's no point in hiding myself any longer."

Yuan removed his disguise, revealing his true identity to everyone there.

"P-Player Yuan?!" Someone from the crowd instantly recognized him and shouted.

"What?! The same Player Yuan who disappeared after stomping the Fiery Garden of Hell?! He hasn't shown himself for over three years now!"

Yuan narrowed his eyes at the skinny Spirit Grandmaster and those around him. "I am having trouble breathing with so many people around me. Do you mind giving me some space?"

The skinny man snapped out of his daze and hurriedly left without uttering another word. The others swiftly followed.

Yuan shook his head and returned to his seat. Now that he'd made an appearance for the first time in over three years, the attention on Yingzi skyrocketed to unprecedented levels.

"Player Yuan returns after three years! Unexpectedly, he's friends with the Little Fairy of Gluttony!"

"What's Player Yuan's relationship with Little Fairy of Gluttony?!"

"Player Yuan disguised himself to be with Little Fairy of Gluttony! A secret relationship exposed?!"

Such leadlines swiftly filled the internet.

Despite the growing attention and the increasing size of the crowd around them, nobody dared to approach Yuan or Yingzi. The spectators kept their distance, content to watch from afar, clearly still fearful of Yuan.

Although three years had passed, the majority of people still vividly remembered Yuan's fight with the Fiery Garden of Hell. The sheer intensity of that battle left an everlasting impression, keeping his reputation fresh in their minds.

After spending a few days visiting literally every single food establishment in the city, Yingzi traveled to the next city and repeated the same thing.

Her seemingly infinite appetite made people wonder if she had a unique physique that refines food into her own energy. Unbeknownst to them, Yingzi truly had an infinite appetite. Shadow Dwellers are made entirely of shadows, so no matter how much Yingzi ate, she would never feel full. However, she doesn't feel hungry, either.

While unnecessary, Yingzi still enjoyed eating, just like how powerful cultivators could survive without food but still indulge in it once in a while.

In the blink of an eye, two weeks had passed since Yingzi's visit to Earth. During that time, she had experienced a wide variety of foods and cuisines. However, there was only so much truly unique food to try. Eventually, she began encountering similar dishes, with only minor differences in flavor and quality.

Although she still enjoyed them, Yuan could tell that she was slowly getting bored of them.

"Food can vary greatly depending on our location, with some food only available in specific parts of the world. If you want to experience newer food, we should travel further." Yuan suggested.

Yingzi nodded and said, "Okay. I'll let you choose the place next." After finishing her current meal, Yuan brought Yingzi to the other side of the world to experience their cuisine.

They spent one week eating as much food as they could. Then, for the last week, Yuan bought seasoning for her to use in the Primal Expanse. He bought so much that they had to visit several supermarkets because he emptied all of their stock.

"This month I have spent in this world has been the best of my entire life. I will remember it forever. Thank you," Yingzi said to Yuan with sincerity as they returned to the Dragon Spiral Mountain.

Yuan nodded with a smile, "You've done a lot for me in the Primal Expanse. This is the least I could do for you."

"Before we return to the Primal Expanse, I would like you to have one last meal."

"Okay."

Yuan brought her to the dining room, where a feast prepared by Meifeng was waiting. The Demon Sealing Faction members were also present.

"So that's the famous Little Fairy of Gluttony, huh?" Wang Ming chuckled after seeing her.

"She resembles Xiao Hua…" Meixiu mumbled after noticing their similarity. After all, Yingzi borrowed most of her features from Xiao Hua.

"Although you've eaten a lot of food in the past month, you ate mostly alone. Some say food will taste better when you're eating with others." Yuan said to her.

Once the introductions were done, they began feasting.

When Yingzi took her first bite, her eyes widened with surprise.

'He's right… there is something different about this food…' she mused inwardly.

"Hey, Yuan, the Dragon God Festival is tomorrow, right? How confident do you feel about it?" Shi Lang suddenly asked.

A stiff smile appeared on Yuan's face as he responded, "Honestly? I don't feel confident at all."

"Seriously?" Everyone there turned to look at him while looking surprised.
