"Don't follow me!" Xiong Tai turned back, filled with suspicion as he called out, then ran off.
At this point, even those who were unaware of his inner thoughts could see clearly that Xiong Tai had seemingly fallen in love. Especially with that earlier display of shyness, it was evident that only a certain type of woman could tame a bear like him—most likely a seductress, who could ensnare a man with just a flirtatious glance.
Naturally, Xiong Tai wouldn't approach her directly as he usually did. Instead, he followed her to the base of the Tower, where they hid behind and stared blankly. After surveying the surroundings, Xiong Tai's expression turned infatuated as he gazed at the woman pacing back and forth atop the Tower.
Meng Luo was completely unaware that a rather foolish-looking guy was spying on her from below. However, this guy's appearance was indeed quite ridiculous, and others behind him silently observed how long he could keep this up.
As time passed, Meng Luo's actions could certainly be described as breathtaking—stunningly beautiful and utterly captivating. But one must realize that the number of men who would fall at her feet must surely surpass any previous lineup. Among them were men like Xiong Tai, who harbored unrequited feelings and felt quite good about themselves despite lacking real romantic experience—a type often referred to as "seeing the light too late," meaning they had little hope when it came to women.
"Hello, uncle! Goodbye, uncle!" The rhythm was swift, but Xiong Tai had no intention of giving up. He firmly believed himself to be charming and akin to an ancient hero. At the same time, he thought Meng Luo couldn't possibly be that shallow; having seen countless men, she would surely be indifferent to those pretty boys. Sweet words would eventually reveal their lies.
Xiong Tai believed that modern women expected men not to lie above all else. In this regard, he considered himself a Conservative—he would never deceive anyone. Moreover, the era of valuing looks alone had long passed; if someone easily fell for a skirt, it was likely they were merely seeking physical pleasure rather than genuinely liking the person.
As he watched her graceful demeanor, he felt himself captivated and his expression twisted into one of infatuation. Passersby thought he must have been bewitched; one moment he was smiling, the next he wasn’t, struggling to maintain his composure.
These onlookers were startled by his foolishness and began to point and whisper among themselves before leaving in disbelief. Some even recognized him as a member of the Hunter Association and could pinpoint which team he belonged to. He was embarrassing himself! Meng Luo had no idea what was happening below; if she knew someone was making such disgusting faces at her, she probably wouldn’t return to Patrol at the Tower again—at least not alone.
However, after a long while, perhaps feeling a bit guilty for staring too long—after all, observing someone for such an extended period meant he had noticed every detail about her—Xiong Tai decided he didn’t want to invade her privacy any further and turned to leave.
Feeling somewhat bored by now, Ross quickly realized what was happening behind him. To avoid losing track of her when he returned, he needed to head back first.
"Not anymore, we were supposed to take turns watching for a while. You saw him leave and didn't even tell me. What on earth are you all up to?" Ross suddenly vented his frustrations, feeling that if the others figured him out, there would be fewer similar funny activities in the future. This was a matter of everyone's well-being, and he would feel sad about it. After all, Ross's role in the team was to contribute to their entertainment and leisure activities, which he usually organized himself.
So even though he feared that such recreational activities would diminish, the lack of a playful spirit would lower the team's cohesion. Therefore, even under high pressure, it was essential to ensure daily entertainment; they had to work hard and then relax afterward.
They hurried back, fortunately arriving at the dining hall several steps ahead of Xiong Tai. They adamantly refused to admit they were spying on him. Xiong Tai bounced into the dining hall, looking as cheerful as ever.
Indeed, he was very happy; he had spent the entire day sneaking glances at Meng Luo. How could he not be joyful? Of course, with his upright demeanor, Xiong Tai would never admit he was watching a girl; he insisted he was practicing his skills and had already reached a certain level.
"Hey, you all have such good taste today, coming to eat so early," Xiong Tai said as he approached them, maintaining an optimistic attitude and smiling broadly. His face radiated happiness.
"Uh, yes. I wanted to eat more today because I might not have as much time to rest later on. Consider it a preemptive measure for future nutrition," one of them replied.
Hearing this, Xiong Tai seemed quite pleased; perhaps he had encountered some skilled individuals today. In front of him lay a mountain of food—this was what he needed for one meal, enough to feed two or three ordinary people. The quantity was truly astonishing.
Ordinary hunters already had large appetites due to their daily energy expenditure being vastly different from that of regular people. Even when sitting still, their metabolism was three times that of an average person. If they were eating a customized meal plan, it wouldn't be so complicated; however, here in the Mixed Army camp, if one had a big appetite, they could only consume astonishing amounts of food.
Looking at the mountain of food before him drew the attention of others around him, including other assassins and many strong members of the Human Alliance.
Undoubtedly, ordinary people could never consume this much food. However, this astonishing appetite was already three times that of regular hunters. What was this? A super-sized rice worm? They watched Xiong Tai eat with a mix of surprise and helplessness, more astonished by the fact that he hadn't even begun to exert his abilities yet as plate after plate quickly disappeared before his eyes.
Soon enough, plates piled up in front of him one after another. His consumption rate was truly exaggerated. Gradually, many people's gazes were drawn toward him; having such a large appetite was one thing, but being able to eat to this extent made him seem like some kind of monster worth observing.
"Ah~~~ Not bad! Just a bit less oil would make it better; sprinkling some salt might enhance the flavor too. But I'm not too picky about food," Xiong Tai said after finishing a plate and patting his round belly with a smile.
