Chapter 16 In front of the grilled fish stall
Upon seeing Tang Wulin, Huo Yuhao immediately became nervous. He clenched his hands and hesitated before saying:
"Sorry, the rest have already been reserved. This is the last one."
Tang Wulin was taken aback for a moment, then spread his hands and smiled, "It's okay, one is fine too."
Huo Yuhao breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed the last grilled fish, and placed it on the grill.
As the grilled fish flipped over, the sparks and heat waves shifted, leaving Huo Yuhao in a one-sidedly awkward situation.
Sensing the quiet, Huo Yuhao glanced at Tang Wulin discreetly before hesitatingly saying:
"Oh right, I was too busy before and didn't have time to tell you. Thank you for helping me in the Star Dou Great Forest a few days ago."
Smelling the aroma of grilled fish, Tang Wulin said expectantly:
"That's nothing. You took care of the baboon yourself. I just sprayed you with a water gun a couple of times."
Huo Yuhao quickly said, "Then I shouldn't have used my soul skill on you back then. I'm really sorry, I lacked combat experience at that time."
Tang Wulin was somewhat helpless. Although he didn't want to belittle this senior expert, it seemed that this little spirit ice hadn't gained any combat experience yet.
Swish, the grilled fish flipped over, and Huo Yuhao looked down, wiping his sweat, and said:
And that time, during my battle with Dai Huabin, you helped me too. Others might not have noticed, but I've seen your soul skill. You know who Dai Huabin is, right? He's that…”
"I know," Tang Wulin said. "The ride I hitched a ride with before was his. How have things been going between you two lately? Have you gotten into another fight?"
Huo Yuhao recalled Dai Huabin's appearance and felt nauseous. The aroma of the grilled fish in front of him, combined with the mixed smell, made him want to vomit.
However, adhering to the principle of serving customers, Huo Yuhao began to resist with all his might, until his face turned green from holding it in.
Meanwhile, Tang Wulin was completely unaware of Huo Yuhao's condition. Seeing Huo Yuhao with his head down and not speaking, he assumed that Huo Yuhao had been beaten yesterday, so he said:
"This guy is really wicked, even more despicable than the Dai family I remember. A three-ring Soul Master bullying a one-ring Soul Master like you. Don't worry, Wang Dong and I are right next door. If you can't take it anymore next time, you can knock on the wall."
However, to be fair, Shrek's room, although a bit messy, was quite soundproof. We didn't hear you fighting next door.
Oh! Right! I remember now! It's because Wang Dong and I didn't go back to our room last night!
Damn it, why is the academy like this? We Soul Masters have so many things to do all day long, it's really hard work!
In this situation, it's sometimes reasonable to return to the dorm late, right?
They even locked the door, which prevented us from getting back to our dorm all night!
The person who invented this rule is despicable; I'll find him when I get the chance.
Huo Yuhao's face, which had been turning green with suppressed anger, paled slightly. To change the subject, he forced a sentence:
"What's your impression of the Dai family? Have you had any contact with them before? What are they like?"
Tang Wulin's face stiffened, and the image of that quirky figure in Dragon Valley subconsciously surfaced in his mind.
Of course, Tang Wulin couldn't tell Huo Yuhao any of this, so he smiled inwardly and subconsciously thought to himself, "Haven't I seen you before?"
However, he swallowed his words and instead spoke in riddle form:
"I think you'll have the chance to meet him."
By this time, the grilled fish was already delicious and looked appealing. Huo Yuhao silently picked it up and handed it to Tang Wulin.
Seeing the grilled fish, which was clearly an ordinary dish, yet could make even a seasoned gourmand like Tang Wulin fall in love with it, the eyes of everyone around them were mesmerized.
Without saying a word, Tang Wulin took the grilled fish and was about to take a bite.
Just as Tang Wulin was about to finish marking the grilled fish, he suddenly felt a fragrant scent coming from behind him, which actually overpowered the smell of the grilled fish.
Tang Wulin turned around and met a pretty face. When they saw each other's faces, they were both momentarily stunned by each other's beauty.
In the dim light, Tang Wulin heard the crowd talking about the girl.
"Huh? It's Jiang Nannan! Does she actually have time to go shopping today?"
Wow! Jiang Nannan likes grilled fish? Quick, write that down!
Jiang Nannan's name made Tang Wulin pause for a moment. Looking at her face, wasn't this Xie Xie's childhood trauma?
What a coincidence! Including Xiao Xiao and He Cai Tou, we've run into three of the Shrek Seven Devils today.
On the other hand, although he was often stared at with this kind of gaze, this was the first time he had seen such a handsome junior.
Even Jiang Nannan couldn't help but feel a little shy at this moment, so she quickly turned her head to look at Huo Yuhao on the other side and asked:
"Junior, how much is your grilled fish?"
Huo Yuhao answered instinctively, "Five copper soul coins."
Jiang Nannan also subconsciously asked, "Isn't it a bit expensive? Can you make it cheaper?"
With a snap, Tang Wulin remembered that he had to pay and directly put in five copper soul coins, which made Jiang Nannan feel a little embarrassed.
Seeing this, Jiang Nannan quickly said:
"Sorry, my old habit has relapsed, so she readily agreed to pay."
Huo Yuhao, suppressing the nausea he felt from mentioning Dai Huabin earlier, waved his hand and said:
"I'm sorry, senior, we've sold out of grilled fish for today. The rest are all pre-orders."
Jiang Nannan's face immediately showed disappointment, and she was about to say something.
However, the next moment, a loud shout rang out from behind.
"Kid! You dare not sell!"
The next moment, a golden light flashed, and Tang Wulin's eyes instantly turned into golden vertical pupils. He snorted coldly, and with quick eyes and hands, he reached out and steadily caught a gold soul coin.
"Huh?" Seemingly surprised by Tang Wulin's skills, a dark figure quickly arrived in front of the grilled fish stall and reached out to grab the grilled fish.
Huo Yuhao, quick as a flash, took the grilled fish, while Tang Wulin flicked two fingers, sending the gold soul coin flying into the coal, splattering black dust all over the boy's head and face, before returning the gold soul coin to him.
The angry boy immediately shifted his target, reaching for the fish in Tang Wulin's hand. Unexpectedly, Tang Wulin spit out his saliva, covering the entire fish with it.
The boy was startled and quickly withdrew his hand.
Seeing the cunning smile hidden beneath Tang Wulin's innocent expression, the angry young man's face darkened as he roared:
"Fine! You bunch of ungrateful wretches! Not only do you disregard my, Xu Sanshi's, respect, but you won't even accept money?"
Tang Wulin took the gold soul coins back directly and said:
"Of course! Didn't you see how angry the stall owner was? He didn't even want to talk!"
Xu Sanshi glanced back at Huo Yuhao beside him, who was muttering something under his breath, and angrily said:
"Hey kid! What's with that look on your face? Are you secretly cursing me?"
As he spoke, the boy reached out to grab Huo Yuhao's collar.
Just then, a burst of thunder roared forth, and Xu Sanshi instinctively reached out to block it.
Bang! Two enormous energies collided, but Xu Sanshi secretly noticed that a golden light was flying towards him amidst the chaotic lightning.
With a disdainful smile, Xu Sanshi was about to raise his hand to block.
But as soon as he raised his hand, he found that his wrist was entangled by Blue Silver Grass!
By the time Xu Sanshi broke free of the Blue Silver Grass, it was too late.
*Whoosh!* The golden needle pierced through his flesh, and Xu Sanshi cried out in pain, roaring, "Beibei, Tang Ya! Two against one! Shameless!"
