Monster Paradise

ou some breakfast,” said the ponytailed girl hurriedly.

“No need.
I’ll just grab something to eat while I’m out there.” Sword11 waved her off.

“Then I’ll come with you.”

Sword11 laughed and shook his head.
“Stay here and practice with your sword, girl.
Later I’ll check if you’ve been slacking off these past few days.”

“Wha?!” The ponytailed girl clearly did not expect Sword11 to suddenly pull a spot check on her.

Still, she could guess what her teacher meant by going out for a walk.
She immediately changed the topic, asking, “Teacher, is there something special about that guy?”

“I don’t know, either, so let’s find him first.”

…

Over the past few days he had spent in Golden City, Lin Huang did not find out much about Sword11’s whereabouts, but he did find a great noodle house close to his hotel.

The noodle house had a very special name too.
It was called A Noodle House.

The handmade noodles here were very springy, and there were only eighteen varieties of noodle soups.
All of them started broiling at three in the morning, and the shop opened every morning at exactly 6 am.
A line would start before seven.

In order to avoid the queue, Lin Huang had been waking up earlier these past two days, and he would be at the stall by around 6.30.

Just as he did the two days before, he was here early today as well.

“Hi, gimme a bowl of beef noodles, semi-spicy, and add a sunny-side-up.

As soon as he said that, someone sat down at the table opposite Lin Huang.

“Eating something spicy so early in the morning? Aren’t you afraid you’ll upset your stomach?”

Lin Huang raised his head, and his pupils dilated abruptly.

His visitor was not very tall, with average looks, flaming red hair, and black eyes.

It was Sword11!

“Is it a coincidence, or did he find me?!”

Lin Huang could not figure out how Sword11 found him.
Since he had been watched earlier, he now looked nothing like his earlier identity, Lin Xie.

However, Sword11 did not attack him immediately, and he did not sense any hostility either, so Lin Huang felt a little relieved.

He pretended not to know who the other man was, smiling as he replied, “I have heavier tastes, and I especially like spicy foods.”

“You don’t mind if I share your table, do you?” Sword11 asked with a smile.

Lin Huang glanced around and saw that there were two other empty tables, but he did not refuse.
“If you like.”

“The noodles here really are quite good.
I haven’t been here for a year now.” Sword11 seemed to chat idly as he looked down at the menu.
He then shouted at the owner, “Hey, I’ll have a bowl of kidney noodles with two portions of kidney and a braised egg.”

“You have pretty heavy tastes too,” Lin Huang teased with a laugh.

“My waist has been a little sore lately, so I thought some kidney might help.” Sword11 chuckled.

After the owner served the noodles, both of them buried their faces into their bowls.
The table instantly fell quiet.

The silence was only broken ten minutes later, after Lin Huang finished his noodles and called for the bill.

“It was fate that we met here, so this one’s on me.”

Sword11 laughed and did not decline.
“Alright then, thanks.”

Just as Lin Huang paid the bill, Sword11 slurped his last noodle.

He drank two more mouthfuls of soup happily before finally putting down his bowl and looking at Lin Huang with a grin.

“You’re wondering how I found you, right?”

Those words told Lin Huang that his cover was blown, so he raised a brow and said,

“Yeah, I was pretty surprised.”

“I have a special ability that allows me to sense the Sword Dao in every sword cultivator’s body.” Sword11 revealed the answer right away.
“No matter how you try to disguise yourself, the Sword Dao inside your body won’t change.”

Now that he knew how he had been found, Lin Huang was not too surprised at it either, and he did not bother harping on that question.

“Actually, I’m more curious to know why you came looking for me.”
