The old man squeezed Luo Chen's hand a few times and said doubtfully, "Your age is suitable, but why can I sense such a strong lightning attribute in your hand?"
Damn, Luo Chen was a little surprised. He had shocked too many rabbits with his hand, and this old man had actually sensed it.
Luo Chen answered calmly, "It's nothing, sir. That's a soul skill I practice."
The old man immediately became unhappy. "Who are you calling sir? I'm only sixty-eight this year. How am I an old man?"
Sixty-eight and not an old man? Impressive. Did he want me to call him grandson before he was satisfied?
At that moment, Tang San, that Simp, suddenly stepped forward and apologized to the old man. "Sorry, my brother called you the wrong thing. Big brother, you're powerful. You don't look like you're in your sixties at all. You look as young as my father."
Holy shit, what a Simp. Just to flatter a Soul Emperor, he even dragged his dad into it. Luo Chen could not help looking down on Tang San, that Simp. Of course, he probably still did not know that his father was a Title Douluo.
"Mm, that's more like it. All right, release your martial soul." The old man looked at Luo Chen.
Luo Chen said nothing more and released his martial soul, the Peach Blossom Fan.
The gorgeous Peach Blossom Fan appeared in Luo Chen's hand. It was incomparably imposing now, possessing both lightning and fire attributes, glowing purple and red, somewhat like the Carefree Fan.
Holding the fan, Luo Chen looked even more devilishly charming.
Even Xiao Wu could not help staring at Luo Chen, pursing her alluring red lips. Even Zhu Zhuqing beside her glanced sideways slightly.
"Peach Blossom Fan. This martial soul actually cultivated to the Great Soul Master level. Not bad, you pass." The old man nodded at Luo Chen, then looked at Tang San and Xiao Wu. "You two, let me have a look as well."
Thus, the old pervert felt up Tang San and Xiao Wu too, making them release their martial souls before allowing Dai Mubai to lead Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Luo Chen into the academy's village.
Tang San had taken that slap from Dai Mubai earlier, so naturally, he and Dai Mubai were not about to become friends at first sight like in the original story.
As the four walked together, Tang San and Dai Mubai said nothing to each other. Luo Chen patted Dai Mubai on the shoulder and said, "Golden Retriever, we can count this as getting acquainted through a fight. You don't mind that I slapped you for my brother that day, right? How about saying something more to my brother?"
"What did you call me?" Dai Mubai looked at Luo Chen strangely.
Luo Chen said, "Golden Retriever. Look at how nice your hair color is. Calling you Golden Retriever is obviously a compliment. It has the word 'golden' in it. Back in my hometown, that's praise. Golden Retriever—now we're friends. Say something to my brother Tang San too."
Dai Mubai thought about it. Golden Retriever did have the word "golden" in it, and that did seem like praise. He really did look at Tang San and say, "Tang San, I truly don't know what happened that day. There are very few students in Shrek. We'll be companions from now on, and I hope you won't mind what happened that day."
Luo Chen held back his urge to laugh and looked at Tang San again.
Tang San put on airs as well and said, "Fine, I understand. Didn't you also stand there without dodging my brother's slap? We're even, then. I won't hold it against you anymore."
Dai Mubai nodded in satisfaction. Only then did the four chat for a while.
Dai Mubai led the three to the back of the examination line ahead, then went back to see Zhu Zhuqing. Sure enough, Oscar, with his beard, came pushing a cart over to sell sausages.
Luo Chen glanced at Oscar. This guy looked much uglier than in the animation. He had a huge scruffy beard, his eyes were genuinely lecherous, and he had not even washed his face properly. How could someone like him be with Ning Rongrong? As expected, she should be saved by him instead.
Luo Chen glanced at Tang San and said, "Didn't you eat enough breakfast? I'll buy you a big sausage."
Tang San looked at the grill. "It smells pretty good. Thanks, Xiao Chen."
Luo Chen nodded and had just stepped away when Xiao Wu suddenly said, "I want some too."
Want my ass, stupid rabbit. I'm buying this for stupid Tang San.
Luo Chen walked up to Oscar and said flatly, "Sir, give me your biggest sausage."
"What? You called me sir? I'm only fourteen..." Oscar looked at Luo Chen with a startled expression.
"No way. I'd believe you if you said your grandson was fourteen. Forget it, just give me the biggest sausage first," Luo Chen said deliberately calmly.
Oscar did not get angry. His eyes rolled as he said, "Sure, you want the biggest one, so I'll have to make it fresh. I, Oscar, have a big sausage..." After making it, he handed it to Luo Chen. "This is the biggest one. Eat it while it's hot. Since you'll be my junior schoolmate from now on, I won't charge you."
As he spoke, a smile appeared at the corner of Oscar's lips.
Naturally, Luo Chen saw it, but he said nothing. He picked up the sausage and looked at it. Damn, this sausage is way too big. And...
Luo Chen hurried over to Tang San and said, "All right, I bought it. That uncle said this is the best sausage. Eat it while it's hot."
"Uh, it really is huge. How about Xiao Wu eats it first?" Tang San tried to decline.
Luo Chen quickly said, "Hey, that won't do. Xiao Wu definitely won't be able to finish it, and it'd go to waste. You should eat it. I'll buy one for her later."
"All right, remember to buy one for Xiao Wu too. She didn't eat much breakfast either." Tang San nodded and began eating.
"Ah, that sausage looks so much like... San Ge actually..." Xiao Wu glanced at it, suddenly blushed a little, and turned her head away.
Only then did Dai Mubai walk over with Zhu Zhuqing, but Tang San had already eaten half the sausage, and he was enjoying it immensely.
When Dai Mubai saw it, his eyes widened. "Tang San, you can't eat that sausage..."
Tang San pursed his lips. "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Dai Mubai hurriedly dragged Oscar, who was still selling sausages, over. Oscar protested, "Hey, hey, Boss Dai, take it easy."
"What kind of sausage did you give him..." Dai Mubai dragged Oscar before Tang San and asked.
Oscar glanced at Tang San in surprise. "You're almost done eating it? I never meant for him to eat it..."
Only then did Oscar notice Luo Chen, and his gaze turned strange, though he was too embarrassed to say anything. Tang San was still confused when his stomach suddenly began to hurt, and he clutched it.
Pfft...
The next instant, everyone present—Xiao Wu, Oscar, Dai Mubai, Luo Chen, and now Zhu Zhuqing behind them—covered their noses and retreated several steps, looking at Tang San with utter disdain.
Though Luo Chen had been prepared, he still could not help complaining inwardly. Holy shit, Tang San's fart really stinks...
Tang San held his breath, his face red as he hurriedly asked, "You... do any of you know where the latrine is? Take me there, quickly..."
Dai Mubai covered his nose, kicked Oscar, and forced out, "Hurry up and take him there, or nobody else will be able to take the exam later..."
At this moment, even the boys and girls still taking the second-round examination covered their noses and looked over. A few could not help shouting through their covered noses.
"Who was that? Who the hell let off a bomb?"
"That's disgusting..."
"Get out, now..."
"Boss Dai, I didn't want this either..." Oscar glanced at Tang San, covering his nose as the stench nearly overwhelmed him. Actually, the sausages he sold to other people would only make them feel nauseated afterward.
Because Luo Chen had called him sir, he had given Luo Chen the most disgusting sausage—but he had not expected Tang San to eat it.
"Go, now... Wasn't it you who made this thing? If it affects our admissions, I'll kill you..." Under Dai Mubai's threats, Oscar hesitated for a while but still endured it and led Tang San away.
It was only long after Tang San left that the smell dispersed. Xiao Wu could not help looking at Luo Chen and saying, "Why did Tang San eat something like that? It smelled awful. I don't even want to walk with him anymore."
Luo Chen put on an innocent expression and said, "I don't know either. Golden Retriever, what was that about?"
