This Soup Is Too Potent, You Can't Handle It

"Ah Lang, I'm so hungry."

After making the beds, Xiao Wu's stomach growled. She looked at Mo Lang pitifully.

After eating the food Mo Lang had made these past two days, whenever she got hungry, she thought of him.

That made Mo Lang very happy.

If a girl thought of you whenever she got hungry, then she was not far from falling in love with you.

So when going on dates, never just take a girl out for dinner and a movie.

Because too many people had already taken her there.

Who did you think you were?

Take her somewhere fresh and exciting instead, like go-karting.

The thrill of adrenaline would make her mistake it for the feeling of her heart fluttering.

Or make something for her yourself.

"Come on, I'll take you to eat."

Mo Lang affectionately rubbed Xiao Wu's head.

"No, I want to eat what you make."

Xiao Wu widened her ruby-like eyes and pouted as she coquettishly spoke.

"No problem. I'll take you to the place where I work. I can introduce you to Old Di while we're at it. When I'm not around, you can go there for free meals and put it on my tab. I'll settle it when I get back."

Mo Lang remembered that Yu Xiaogang would be taking Tang San to absorb his first soul ring in a few days, and he naturally had to follow along.

In any case, he had the highest-ranking token and could enter any Soul Hunting Forest whenever he wanted.

If anyone asked, he could just say his master had given it to him.

When Tang San absorbed his soul ring, he could take the opportunity to check in as well.

Thinking of that, Mo Lang felt delighted. He wondered what age of soul ring the system would give him and what kind of soul skill he would get.

It was truly something to look forward to.

"Lang-ge, you two go eat. I won't go. I brought some coarse grain cakes from home."

As soon as Tang San heard they were going out to eat, he knew it would cost money again. He had no money on him, and Mo Lang had already spent one Gold Soul Coin on his enrollment. If he kept following them around, eating and living for free, what difference would there be between him and a parasite?

Then Mo Lang slapped the back of Tang San's head and said in an unquestionable tone, "What are you talking about? Your dad said you were to listen to me in everything. If I say we're going to eat, then we're going to eat, understand?"

"Besides, you're still growing. If you eat those coarse grain cakes every day, be careful your little brother won't grow up. No girls will like you in the future."

"???"

Tang San had been touched at first, but then his face filled with baffled question marks.

What kind of wild nonsense was that?

Why would he need girls to like him?

He only wanted to become stronger!

"Boss, bring me a serving of tiger penis soup!"

The moment they arrived at the restaurant, Tang San immediately ordered a bowl of tiger penis soup.

He didn't like girls.

That didn't mean he didn't mind being small down there.

"Hahaha, Xiao San, you're so young. If you drink something that potent, be careful you'll get a nosebleed."

Seeing Tang San's proud little expression, Mo Lang could not help laughing.

Sure enough, the easiest money to make came from women's cosmetics and men's supplements.

What woman didn't want to become prettier?

What man didn't want to become stronger?

"Hmph, I can drink three more bowls for you to see!"

Tang San clearly still cared a great deal about his development.

Xiao Wu looked at them with a flushed face. "What are you talking about? Why can't I understand any of it?"

Mo Lang did not expose Xiao Wu's act of instantly understanding everything. Instead, he greeted the boss, walked into the kitchen, and made a sour-and-spicy fish, a tom yum soup, and a plate of vegetables.

The group ate to their hearts' content.

When it came time to pay, the boss even tried to keep Mo Lang around. If he needed money, he could come work at the restaurant, and he would earn three more Gold Soul Coins each month.

Mo Lang did not agree right away. He only said that he would definitely come by if he had the time.

In his previous life, he had become a chef to make money. But in this life, he would only cook for the people he loved.

Mo Lang also told the boss that if Xiao Wu and Tang San came to eat in the future, he could put everything on Mo Lang's tab, and Mo Lang would come pay it back.

The boss readily agreed, saying there was no problem, and that they would get a twenty percent discount every time.

He trusted Mo Lang's character.

Xiao Wu was so excited that she threw her arms around Mo Lang and shouted happily, "Ah Lang, you're so good to me!"

Even Tang San could not help glancing at Mo Lang. Lang-ge was really good at this.

Sure enough, having money made picking up girls easy.

Meanwhile, he did not even know what he would eat for his next meal.

It seemed he needed to start working at the Blacksmith Shop early and try not to burden Lang-ge anymore.

"Alright, let's go. We'll buy a few sets of clothes so people won't call us Work-Study Students. I don't think there's anything wrong with being a Work-Study Student, but it'll save us from unnecessary trouble."

With a grand wave of his hand, Mo Lang calculated that enrollment had cost three Gold Soul Coins, while buying things and eating this meal had cost another Gold Soul Coin. He had six Gold Soul Coins left.

Originally, he had wanted to leave five for Old Jack. But then he remembered that if Old Jack found out, he would surely send them back overnight, and Mo Lang had not secretly slipped them beneath Old Jack's pillow either.

There was still a long road ahead. Once he made a fortune in the future, he would ensure Old Jack never had to worry about food or clothing again.

"Huh? Xiao San, why are you getting a nosebleed? I told you one bowl was enough at your age, but you insisted on drinking three bowls. Is tiger penis soup really something someone your age can handle?"

Mo Lang turned around and saw blood gushing from Tang San's nose. He immediately had him tilt his head back, pinched his nostrils shut, and patted the back of his neck.

Tang San also immediately circulated the Mysterious Heaven Skill and stopped the bleeding.

He had never expected the tiger penis soup in this world to be even more potent than the one from his previous life.

He had been careless.

There was no need to think about it. Mo Lang would definitely tease him about this for years.

At that thought, Tang San got a headache.

Why did such a great Lang-ge have to have a mouth?

Buying clothes cost a total of one Gold Soul Coin. Mo Lang bought three outfits each for himself and Tang San, spending one Silver Soul Coin, while the remaining nine Silver Soul Coins were all spent on Xiao Wu.

Seeing Xiao Wu spend money like water, Tang San became even more determined not to get a wife in the future if he could avoid it.

Unless his wife was very rich.

Mo Lang had not expected that his casual actions would plant the idea of finding a Sugar Mama in Tang San's mind.

On the way back, Tang San suddenly asked Mo Lang a question. "Lang-ge, why were you able to reach level twenty with Innate Full Soul Power, while I could only reach level ten?"

Mo Lang had not expected Tang San to ask that. After thinking for a moment, he asked in return, "What did you call me?"

"Lang-ge."

"Exactly. Since I'm your big brother, if I'm not stronger than you, how can I be your big brother? How can I protect you? Your brother will never let you die."

"..."

Tang San looked into Mo Lang's sincere eyes and knew that he meant every word. A mist of tears rose in his eyes.

He felt that Mo Lang treated him even better than his father did.

Toward evening, Tang San was called away by Yu Xiaogang.

Mo Lang knew Yu Xiaogang was probably preparing to take Tang San to the Soul Hunting Forest, so he should make preparations and leave ahead of them too.

While Tang San was gone, Mo Lang also told Xiao Wu that his master was going to take him to absorb a soul ring.

Xiao Wu's eyes dimmed slightly after hearing that. "Are soul rings really that important?"

Wang Hu and the others beside them thought, Of course soul rings were important. Hadn't they come here to become stronger?

How could they become stronger without soul rings?

If not for Mo Lang's intimidating presence, they would have thought Xiao Wu was an idiot.

Seeing this, Mo Lang spoke softly and affectionately, "Of course soul rings aren't more important than you. I want to stay by your side forever too."

"But if I don't go absorb a soul ring, how can I become stronger? If I don't become stronger, how will I have the power to stay by your side and protect you?"

"I'm not going to absorb a soul ring because I want to leave you. I'm doing it so that I can stay by your side and protect you forever in the future."

Hearing Mo Lang's heartfelt confession, Xiao Wu's legs went weak. She threw herself into his arms and said in her gentlest voice, "Then be careful. I'll wait for you to come back."

"..."

Those words finally made Wang Hu and the others understand.

So that was why they did not have girlfriends!

As men, they were deeply moved just hearing Mo Lang say those things.

After Tang San returned from Master and heard that Mo Lang was also going to the Soul Hunting Forest to absorb a soul ring, he smiled and wanted to go with him.

However, Mo Lang refused. He said that he would be going deep into the Soul Hunting Forest, where it was rather dangerous. His master would already have enough trouble taking care of him alone, and if Tang San and Master came too, he was afraid something might happen to them.

Tang San felt a little dejected after hearing that. He did not even know why he had developed a feeling of dependence on Mo Lang.

Early the next morning, Mo Lang disappeared from the dormitory, heading to the Soul Hunting Forest before Tang San and Master.
