"Where's the business? Where's the business?" Oscar's voice, tinged with excitement, came from afar. Before long, he appeared in front of everyone.

Perhaps because he had been in too much of a hurry, Oscar had not brought anything with him and had simply run over alone.

"Little Ao, come here," Dai Mubai called to Oscar.

Oscar hurried over. "Boss Dai, you were looking for me?"

Dai Mubai nodded, sounding somewhat urgent. "Quick, make a few sausages. They're all injured."

Oscar was overjoyed. "Five copper soul coins each. Don't forget to settle the bill afterward. I've got a big sausage." As he recited that bizarre Soul Incantation, a flash of light appeared in his hand, and a fragrant sausage materialized.

Dai Mubai shot Tang San a look. "Eat it. The incantation may be a little disgusting, but his sausages work very well. This is the sausage granted by his First Soul Ring. It can quickly restore Soul Power and accelerate recovery from injuries."

The sausage itself was not the issue, but when Tang San thought of that incantation, he waved his hand. "I can just rest and recover on my own. Give that sausage to Yu Ling instead. She used up a lot of Soul Power."

Qian Yuling: "???"

Only Tang San, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Zhao Wuji had been injured, while Qian Yuling had merely expended too much Soul Power. However, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing were still unconscious, so Tang San decided to give the sausage to Qian Yuling.

After saying that, he immediately sat cross-legged and began regulating his breathing.

Tang San might not have wanted to eat it, but that did not mean the battered man beside him felt the same.

"Oscar, come here. Give me one sausage and one cured sausage each." Zhao Wuji's voice was not very loud, and it was no wonder. He had already been at a disadvantage against the ultimate moves of Qian Yuling's five Summoned Beasts, then he had fought Tang San, who had held nothing back. On top of that, Tang San had pulled the Dragon Beard Needles out of him. His injuries were not too serious, but waves of pain coursed through his body, making Zhao Wuji feel terribly uncomfortable.

Oscar blinked his peach-blossom eyes. "Who are you? How did you get into our academy? And how do you know my name and Soul Skills?"

"Bastard! Are you asking to be punished? I'm Zhao Wuji!" Zhao Wuji flew into a rage. He nearly failed to catch his breath and almost spat out blood.

He had truly lost all face today. Zhao Wuji only wanted to treat his injuries now, then threaten the children in front of him and make sure they did not tell anyone about this.

"Uh..." Oscar really wanted to ask why Zhao Wuji had ended up like this. He knew Zhao Wuji's strength well enough, but upon seeing the look Dai Mubai gave him, Oscar wisely shut his mouth. At the same time, he recited another Soul Incantation that left everyone present caught between laughter and tears.

I've got a little cured sausage. Though Oscar did not look sleazy, the moment he uttered that incantation, he became as sleazy as could be.

A Little Cured Sausage, as thick as a pinky finger, appeared in Oscar's hand. He quickly handed it to Zhao Wuji.

Zhao Wuji did not stand on ceremony. After eating both the sausage and the cured sausage, his complexion immediately improved, and the bleeding had already stopped.

"It works that well?" Qian Yuling's slightly doubtful voice reached Oscar's ears.

"Of course it does! My sausages are top-quality. Just look at Teacher Zhao and you'll know." The moment Oscar saw Qian Yuling, his eyes lit up, and he hurried over to advertise his wares.

Because of Qian Yuling, Dai Mubai had been unable to hold Zhu Zhuqing in his arms. The corners of his mouth curved upward as he stepped forward and raised a thumb in agreement. "Little Ao's right. The incantation may be disgusting, but his sausages are incredibly effective. Especially his First Soul Skill, Great Recovery Sausage—it's extremely useful for restoring Soul Power."

"Emmm... all right, give me a Great Recovery Sausage." Qian Yuling had originally refused, but remembering that they still had a test to undergo later, she relented. Just one. She would only eat one.

To Oscar, Qian Yuling's words sounded like heavenly music.

Oscar's sleazy voice rang out again. A large sausage appeared in his hand, and he handed it to Qian Yuling.

At the same time, Qian Yuling handed Oscar five copper soul coins.

Holding the Great Recovery Sausage in her little hand, Qian Yuling lowered her head and sniffed it first.

Mm, it only smelled fragrant. There was no strange odor.

Then she stuck out her little tongue and gave it a lick.

Mm, it seemed to taste pretty good.

Then she took a bite. Qian Yuling's eyes immediately lit up. "Yummy," she praised as she chewed.

Dai Mubai stood beside her with a dumbfounded expression. He had not expected Qian Yuling to actually eat the sausage.

Oscar watched without blinking as Qian Yuling ate his Great Recovery Sausage bite by bite.

"Oh yeah! Finally, a classmate who doesn't reject my Great Recovery Sausage—and she's such a pretty junior!" Oscar was so happy he was nearly moved to tears.

Waves of warmth spread through her body, and her Soul Power rapidly recovered. After absorbing the Corpse Dragon's Soul Ring, Qian Yuling's Soul Power density had become extremely high, and her Soul Power Level was far above Oscar's. As a result, one sausage could only restore a tiny amount of her Soul Power.

Qian Yuling looked at Oscar again and softly asked, "Do you have any more?"

Just one more. Mm, only one more.

"Yes, as many as you want," Oscar said excitedly. Then that familiar Soul Incantation rang out again, and another Great Recovery Sausage appeared in his hand. He handed it to Qian Yuling.

Qian Yuling gave Oscar another five copper soul coins. This time, she had no reservations and quickly finished the sausage.

Her Soul Power continued to recover, but it was still not enough.

Qian Yuling awkwardly scratched her head and looked at Oscar.

Oscar understood at once. That familiar voice rang out again, and he handed Qian Yuling another Great Recovery Sausage.

Qian Yuling accepted the sausage and did not forget to give Oscar five copper soul coins.

One last one. Really, the last one.

In the end, Qian Yuling ate a total of seven sausages before nodding in satisfaction. Although her Soul Power had not recovered much, she was already getting sick of the taste.

Dai Mubai was completely stunned. He stared at Qian Yuling with wide eyes, unable to say a word.

Ning Rongrong and Tang San were equally dumbstruck.

"Is it really that delicious?" Ning Rongrong was tempted too, but when she recalled Oscar's Soul Incantation, she still restrained herself.

"Boss Dai, did you see that? Boss Dai?" Oscar shook Dai Mubai excitedly. But the latter ignored him.

"Impressive." It took Dai Mubai quite a while to squeeze out those words.

At this moment, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing woke up as well. They were still extremely weak and could only barely sit up with Ning Rongrong supporting them.

The two looked at the situation before them in confusion.

Ning Rongrong explained everything to them. When Xiao Wu heard that Tang San had fought Zhao Wuji again for her sake, she was deeply moved. At the same time, learning that Qian Yuling had healed her caused all her previous dissatisfaction with Qian Yuling to vanish.

After hearing that Qian Yuling had exhausted nearly all her Soul Power to heal her, Zhu Zhuqing said nothing. However, the resolve in her eyes grew even firmer.

Qian Yuling looked at the weakened Zhu Zhuqing, her eyes shifting as an idea came to mind.

"Oscar, let me tell you..." Qian Yuling whispered something to Oscar, then handed him another five copper soul coins.
