Tang San: Xiao Wu, I See You Already Have a Way to Die!
A dull thud landed squarely against flesh.
"Bang!"
The sudden kick left Tang San completely dazed.
The force of Xiao Wu's kick twisted his entire face out of shape.
"Waaah..."
Tang San let out a muffled groan, then slammed hard into the ground.
Watching the vicious Xiao Wu, Yu Fan couldn't help remarking,
"Ah, she really is a wild roasted rabbit."
"If Tang San had taken that kick before absorbing his Soul Ring, half his face would probably have been paralyzed."
"Poor Little Sanzi almost lost his handsome looks."
Looking at Tang San lying on the ground, his head a muddled mess,
he didn't even have to guess to know that Tang San had to be utterly baffled.
After all...
Tang San thought he was treating Xiao Wu to spicy rabbit meat, and the big rabbit leg at that, the tastiest part.
But it was different for Xiao Wu.
From Xiao Wu's perspective...
Tang San was making her eat the flesh of her own kind!
Who wouldn't completely lose it over that?
"Gulp..."
Wang Sheng swallowed.
He silently retreated behind Yu Fan.
He didn't know why Xiao Wu had kicked Tang San, but he had a feeling it had something to do with the rabbit meat.
The other work-study students were dumbfounded.
"Are we still eating this rabbit meat, then?"
"Why not? Brother Fan's the boss now!"
"Yeah, Sister Xiao Wu isn't the boss anymore!"
"Then, boss, can we eat it?"
"..."
The work-study students all turned to Yu Fan.
Yu Fan figured they had already brought it back.
They couldn't just waste it, could they?
Just as he was about to speak,
"Xiao Wu! How can you be so ungrateful?"
Tang San sprang up from the ground with a carp flip.
A shoe print was still stamped on his face as he cursed angrily,
"I kindly offered you roast rabbit, and not only did you not thank me, you actually hit me!"
"If you didn't like it, you could have just said you didn't want any!"
Tang San couldn't understand it. He had been wronged even more than a moth!
Xiao Wu was so unreasonable...
If she weren't a girl, he would have shown her what it meant to have a way to die long ago!
"Get lost!"
Xiao Wu cursed at him, then turned and left.
Her impression of Tang San had now sunk to rock bottom.
"Wait..."
Tang San couldn't make heads or tails of it either, and his impression of Xiao Wu had also turned extremely sour.
Damn, what kind of person was she?
Compared to Xiao Wu, was Yu Fan actually civilized?
Was this some kind of joke...?
Had his own experience really been that limited?
"Yu Fan, what's wrong with Xiao Wu?"
Tang San really couldn't understand, so he could only ask Yu Fan.
"I don't know. Maybe you offended her somehow."
But Yu Fan shook his head as he spoke.
"I offended her?"
Tang San was genuinely speechless.
He glanced at Xiao Wu, who was still glaring at him from several meters away.
He had the distinct feeling that she even wanted to kill him.
"Forget it. I'm not bothering with her."
"She can eat it or not for all I care."
Tang San wiped the shoe print off his face, then looked at the spicy Soft Bone Rabbit he had been craving all night.
He set the spicy rabbit head aside for himself and shared the rest of the meat with the other work-study students in the dorm.
Wang Sheng watched Tang San gnaw on the spicy rabbit head, momentarily at a loss.
"Tang San, is that spicy rabbit head really so good?"
"You wouldn't understand."
Tang San ate the spicy rabbit head.
He felt that it was simply the most delicious thing in the world.
Not only was it lean without being dry...
It also had a distinctive roasted-meat flavor.
"Yu Fan, want a bite too?"
Tang San suddenly remembered that Yu Fan was the one who had hunted the spicy Soft Bone Rabbit. He really ought to offer him some.
"I'll pass."
Yu Fan shook his head again.
"Actually, I'm not interested in it at all."
"Xiao Wu, you know me. The meat I hate most is from Soul Beasts like Soft Bone Rabbits. Just smelling it puts me off my food."
Xiao Wu looked at Yu Fan and felt a little better.
At least Yu Fan didn't like eating Soft Bone Rabbits. Otherwise, what if he gnawed her alive in her sleep one day?
"Mm, Brother Fan, I believe you!"
Watching Yu Fan and Xiao Wu bullshit each other,
Tang San's face darkened.
"Wait, what?"
He distinctly remembered Yu Fan clutching a spicy Soft Bone Rabbit leg and gnawing on it yesterday.
How had he come to dislike it today?
Unable to make sense of it, Tang San simply stopped thinking about it.
He felt that the more he ate, the better it tasted...
Before long, he had finished the rabbit head, which weighed several jin.
Although the spicy rabbit head looked to weigh several jin, it actually had less than one jin of meat on it.
"So good!"
"Back when I was in Bashu, watching my fellow disciples, what exactly did I miss out on?"
Because Tang San had been rather withdrawn in the past,
he had often watched his fellow disciples divide up rabbit meat, but he had been too shy to go over and ask for any.
On top of that, his fellow disciples couldn't be bothered with an outer disciple like him.
So...
He had never tasted a single bite of rabbit meat.
Even the meals he usually ate had been no different from temple fare.
Otherwise, after transmigrating and living this shitty life,
another transmigrator would probably have been cosplaying as a teru teru bozu by now.
Meanwhile, Yu Fan lay on his bed.
With nothing to do, he lay there resting.
I need to find a chance to swindle Gangzi out of the Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges. Otherwise, such a good thing will end up in that idiot Gangzi's hands, and he won't even know how to use it.
Yu Fan thought for a moment and decided to send Tang San to pull the scam.
Didn't Yu Xiaogang want to take Tang San as his disciple?
Then he would pull a Douluo Continent-style honey trap on Yu Xiaogang!
Ah, this feels a little immoral, but when I remember the person I'm scamming is Gangzi, I suddenly feel so kind.
I'm practically the Heavenly Venerable of Boundless Merit...
At first, Yu Fan had felt a little guilty.
But when he remembered that Gangzi was the one he was scamming, his guilt vanished.
It's time to visit the Star Dou Great Forest.
After all, the Star Dou Great Forest is the easiest place to encounter those high-level ten-thousand-year soul beasts.
The only drawback is...
If someone interrupts me while I'm absorbing a Soul Ring, that would be pretty aggravating.
Since he was going to the Star Dou Great Forest,
he needed to come up with a foolproof plan.
There are also the opportunities in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and the immortal herbs nearby that have been nourished by the remains of the two great dragon kings.
Although I can't tell what those immortal herbs are, and only know about the things that appeared in the original story,
I can find a way to trick Tang San into giving me an illustrated guide to study.
Yu Fan felt that, as payment for helping Tang San obtain a Soul Ring,
asking Tang San to draw him an illustrated guide to immortal herbs wasn't too much, was it?
He took the Anywhere Door out of his pocket, then carried the large purple door to a corner of the dorm and laid it flat.
[Anywhere Door: Once opened, it can take the user anywhere they wish to go through thought. This item cannot be destroyed. After reaching the other side, the placed Anywhere Door can be retrieved.]
Yu Fan opened the Anywhere Door, thinking of going to the Star Dou Great Forest.
The next moment,
as the Anywhere Door opened, the sight of another world appeared within it. Towering ancient trees nearly a hundred meters tall stood everywhere, and there was also a blue ocean formed by Blue Silver Grass.
"Is this the Star Dou Great Forest?"
The Star Dou Great Forest was a sacred place for human Soul Masters, but also a forbidden zone for the weak, because only true powerhouses could enter it and emerge unscathed.
In the outer region, as long as a Soul Saint-level powerhouse led the group, they could generally travel unimpeded. Even if they encountered a ten-thousand-year soul beast, they could exchange a few blows with it or even kill it.
But the core region was entirely different.
Because in the core region...
Ten-thousand-year soul beasts were merely the starting point, not the end!
There was also a Forbidden Zone of Life!
Within the Forbidden Zone of Life, the strongest hundred-thousand-year soul beasts on the entire Douluo Continent were gathered!
Da Ming and Er Ming were strong, but before the beings in the Forbidden Zone of Life, they could only serve as mascots guarding the entrance!
Even if the two great hundred-thousand-year soul beasts found themselves in desperate straits, they would not take the initiative to seek help from the beings in the Forbidden Zone of Life!
