Andasu bowed to Li Ang.

"I have something to trouble you with."

Dorothy whispered into Li Ang's ear, "Your time tonight was supposed to be mine."

"You've caught Falo's catchphrase, and since when was there such a rule?"

Dorothy pursed her lips and glared at White Wolf.

However, after White Wolf arrived, he didn't speak to others, merely nodded to Zoe and Alulu's greetings, then quietly followed by Li Ang's side, leaving the half-elf's attempts to express ignored.

"Since you're here, let's all have a meal."

Li Ang invited her to sit, asking the owner to serve the dishes.

Alulu said, "Hmm, from today we can order a bit less, save some money."

She was very fond of the Baker's Ring, wearing it on her wrist, unable to part with it.

"We can't always eat bread; we need other nutrients too."

Li Ang said, "While flying through the skies, it helps to save supplies when they're scarce. No need to be so frugal now."

Hearing they could still eat meat, Alulu squinted her light purple eyes, laughing in a sweet voice to Li Ang, "You're so nice."

"You're so nice, you're so nice..." Dorothy mimicked the Horned Race maiden's tone, poking Li Ang's ribs repeatedly.

He grabbed the half-elf's hand; her whole body shivered and froze, allowing him to hold her. But seeing her stop the attack, Li Ang let go, prompting a soft hum.

Zoe asked, "Why does this bracelet produce bread at mealtimes?"

She stared at Alulu, who was already stuffing bread into her mouth.

Because the quality of the baked bread was high, it smelled fragrant and sweet, causing Zoe to sniff intently around until Alulu broke some off to share with her.

The buttered and crisp bread made Zoe very satisfied, eating it up in a few bites.

"The transcendent realm's use of magic power mainly manifests in shaping materials. This Giant Ring looks simple, but its internal use of spirituality is very ingenious," Li Ang said.

Li Ang could now easily switch to the Spiritual Horizon with the Seer Pendant, seeing how the Baker's Ring's spirituality gathers various elements from a vast space and directly combines them into bread.

Such a spiritual effect could perhaps be recreated by researchers specializing in magic mysteries in Thousand Tower City, but saying it was created by a troll is quite incredible.

Whether it's the scope of material gathering or the synchronization with the user's thoughts, it all involves spiritual manipulation. If the ring's creator didn't understand this, it would likely be impossible to make it.

However, like the witch's heritage, such knowledge has been lost in Nebis's long history.

This kind of mysterious thing might only be easily found in Falo's Treasury, but Li Ang's three teammates had no concept of it, nodding to accept the fact after his explanation.

"Thank you for the banquet."

Once a pile of dishes was served, Andasu bowed to Li Ang again.

Zoe looked puzzled, "Have you met again? An seems different from before."

She noticed the beast-eared maiden's attitude had changed significantly.

"I received Li Ang's help again afterward," Andasu said.

Li Ang mentioned that the Sand Beast Gang intended to enter the Combat Competition with another team, attempting to win.

None of the attendees cared much about the other prizes for the champion; their target was the Flying Airship "The Howling Wolf" originally belonging to Andasu.

"If we meet then, I won't hold back," Zoe said while stuffing meat into her mouth.

"Rightly so." Andasu nodded lightly, her elegant appearance undisturbed.

"Just a normal duel, avoid injuring spots," Li Ang said.

Li Ang thought it was enough, with no need to overprotect, as they'd eventually face formidable foes.

"What if both our teams lose?" Dorothy asked.

Zoe frowned, "Why are you thinking we'll lose before we even fight? Coward."

"That's just practical thinking!" the half-elf retorted angrily, "Isn't the plan to win the airship no matter what? What if something goes wrong?"

"Then I'll just go take it by force," Li Ang said.

"Why don't you just take it now to save us from fighting?" Dorothy whispered.

"Because sending you to the Combat Competition was one of my ideas in the first place."

Zoe's eyes lit up, "Other than Li Ang, I haven't really dueled anyone else yet."

Li Ang patted the chestnut-haired girl's head.

She had indeed spent years practicing swordplay alone and causing mischief by herself; the villagers of Satus Island couldn't contend with her. After leaving the island, the imperial influence was avoided at Li Ang's request. After leaving Frost Heaven Island, the opponents were all demons, and she never fought in an underground arena.

Then she had only fought alongside Alulu against ordinary members of The Sandbone Group.

Come to think of it, no wonder she was the first to consider Alulu a friend.

Zoe indeed hadn't fought a stranger of equal strength.

"Sigh. As soon as I landed, I knew I couldn't escape this part," Dorothy said.

Previously, when Li Ang infiltrated the Platinum Hall, after using spiritual driving to control the Platinum King, he even perused his treasury.

Most of it was just mundane wealth, with a small part being Low Tier Magic Items, such as scrolls for taming Low Tier Demons, which were of little use, matching the power level of the Flashing Field.

If it weren't for the Bailong Sect, this island wouldn't present a threat worthy of Li Ang's attention.

The Howling Wolf had long been placed inside the Flowing Silver Arena; Li Ang hadn't deliberately made a trip.

His focus was on asking the Platinum King about the "hidden locations."

From this fat, bloated ruler's perspective, the entire island indeed had many hidden places, which he listed out, including the treasure sites of other leaders, where they trained soldiers, and where they kept concubines.
