Sharing the Pain Really Did Feel Much Better

Chapter 31: Sharing the Pain Really Did Feel Much Better

Qian Daoliu's face instantly twisted into an incomparably savage expression.

His expression became complicated to the extreme.

Tears even began streaming down his face.

Not tears from delicious food, but tears from something revoltingly awful.

Chrysanthemum Douluo beside him let out a heavy breath.

Judging by Qian Daoliu's appearance, it had to taste utterly terrible.

"How is it? How does it taste?"

Raiden Ei looked at Qian Daoliu expectantly.

How did it taste??

Qian Daoliu could not help but think about it.

The flavor was like... something that had completed the cycle of the five grains flowing back up from his intestines. It was beyond description.

"Terri—" Before Qian Daoliu could finish, he saw Raiden Ei's violet eyes watching him dangerously.

The killing intent around her was practically about to solidify.

Qian Daoliu knew that if he dared say the words "tastes terrible," he would be meeting his late great-grandmother in the next moment.

Qian Daoliu subconsciously swallowed, forcibly squeezing a smile onto his face. "Delicious. It's delicious."

"Ahem, This Great King isn't hungry yet. You should have more." Terrified that Raiden Ei would make him eat it, Gray Wolf hurriedly pushed the entire basin of soup Raiden Ei had made toward Qian Daoliu.

Who could have imagined that the number one powerhouse on Douluo Continent would one day be in such a miserable state?

All of it... for me to eat???

Qian Daoliu looked at the huge basin of black sludge before him, his expression exceedingly complicated.

He wanted to cry now.

He had originally come here to raise Raiden Ei's favorability toward him, yet not only had he failed to gain any favor, he had gotten himself dragged into this mess.

If he drank all of this...

Wouldn't he be going to see the King of Hell?

But if he did not drink it, he would be seeing the King of Hell right now.

"Pfft—Pfft..." Chrysanthemum Douluo beside him finally could not hold back and burst out laughing.

Qian Daoliu turned to look at Chrysanthemum Douluo. Fine, Chrysanthemum Douluo. He still had not settled the score for that time the old man had laughed at him.

And now he still dared laugh at him.

"Yue Guan... Ah Bu... Brother Yue, how could I enjoy such delicious food all by myself?" Qian Daoliu's eyes shifted as he smilingly pulled Chrysanthemum Douluo over, took a bowl, and filled one for him as well.

"N-No need..." Chrysanthemum Douluo had just wanted to refuse when he felt dense killing intent in Qian Daoliu's eyes.

That look was obvious.

Qian Daoliu: If you dare not eat it, do you believe this old man will slaughter you?

"O-Okay." Chrysanthemum Douluo nodded stiffly, trembling as he held the bowl and downed it in one gulp.

Chrysanthemum Douluo's expression instantly twisted savagely.

"How is it, Brother Chrysanthemum? The taste is pretty good, isn't it?" Qian Daoliu smiled.

"Pretty good. Pretty good," Chrysanthemum Douluo said through gritted teeth.

"Come, drink some more."

"I'll... I'll drink too." Qian Daoliu had not intended to drink any more, but when he saw that Raiden Ei seemed to suspect he was deliberately avoiding it, he could only grit his teeth and drink alongside Chrysanthemum Douluo.

Of course, as the current second-strongest person on Douluo Continent, Qian Daoliu still had a few privileges.

Chrysanthemum Douluo's bowl of soup was an extra-large bowl, while his was only a little over half a bowl.

Just as Chrysanthemum Douluo and Qian Daoliu finished another bowl each, Hu Liena and Ghost Douluo returned.

Qian Daoliu turned and smiled warmly at Hu Liena and Ghost Douluo. "Nana, Brother Ghost, you're back. Come, come, hurry over and sit."

Hu Liena was somewhat surprised. Since when had Spirit Hall's Great Enshrinement Qian Daoliu become so kind and approachable?

Still, Hu Liena did not think much of it and walked over.

Though the Great Enshrinement and her teacher did not get along, with Raiden Ei and two Titled Douluo present, he could not possibly slaughter her in public, could he?

"Alright." Ghost Douluo walked over as well.

Chrysanthemum Douluo frantically blinked at Ghost Douluo, the meaning obvious: Don't come over. Leave quickly.

Ghost Douluo looked at Chrysanthemum Douluo in confusion. "Yue Guan, did something get into your eye? Why do you keep blinking?"

Qian Daoliu shot Chrysanthemum Douluo a vicious glare.

This brat actually wanted the two people who were supposed to share his suffering to run away.

"Brother Chrysanthemum, a bug just flew into my eye."

"You agree, don't you, Brother Chrysanthemum?"

"Y-yes." Chrysanthemum Douluo helplessly nodded, tapping his own head.

There was nothing he could do. He simply couldn't beat Qian Daoliu.

"Come on, Brother Ghost. The soup Her Excellency Raiden Ei made is delicious."

"You must be tired after hunting Soul Rings just now, right?"

"Here." Qian Daoliu swiftly grabbed two bowls, ladled out the soup, and handed them to Ghost Douluo and Hu Liena.

"This..." Though Ghost Douluo was somewhat surprised, he understood that whatever was in this soup probably would not taste very good.

"Uh???"

The next moment, Qian Daoliu shot him a look, and Ghost Douluo could only grit his teeth and drink the bowl of soup.

In an instant, Ghost Douluo's expression twisted grotesquely.

"Well? Tastes good, doesn't it?" Qian Daoliu asked with a beaming smile.

Seeing Ghost Douluo's expression, Qian Daoliu instantly felt much better.

Sure enough, sharing one's pain with a "brother" and making him suffer alongside you made it hurt a lot less.

"Good. Delicious." Ghost Douluo had spent many years navigating the world; how could he fail to understand his current situation?

He forcibly squeezed a smile onto his face as he spoke.

At the same time, he furiously complained to Chrysanthemum Douluo with his eyes. The meaning was obvious: it tasted this awful, so why hadn't he warned him sooner?

If Chrysanthemum Douluo had known what Ghost Douluo was thinking, he definitely would have cursed back, Didn't I tell you already?

"Come, Nana, have a taste too." Qian Daoliu ladled another bowl of soup for Hu Liena, then glanced at the small amount remaining.

Uh, it looked like there were two bowls left.

As long as he served each of Hu Liena and the others one more bowl, Qian Daoliu himself would have one bowl less to drink.

"Th-this..." Hu Liena looked at the pitch-black soup before her and instantly understood. Lin Feng had not gone off for any training; he had clearly run away in advance.

Damn it, he ran off without taking me with him. That's absolutely outrageous.

Hu Liena could only force herself to drink it.

"Come, come, come, Nana. You must be thirsty."

"This bowl is for you."

Hu Liena was a little dumbfounded. She had just finished one bowl when Qian Daoliu handed her another.

When Chrysanthemum Douluo saw that only one bowl remained, he immediately sprang into action and hurriedly handed a bowl to Ghost Douluo. "Come, Brother Ghost. You must be thirsty. Here, this bowl is for you."

"Come, Nana, this bowl..." Ghost Douluo was just about to pass it to Hu Liena when he discovered that, after finishing the bowl Qian Daoliu had handed her, Hu Liena had already collapsed unconscious onto the ground.

Raiden Ei was not at all surprised by Hu Liena's unconsciousness.

Back then, whenever that fox drank her soup, she could sleep for three days and three nights every time.

"No, no, no, I'm not thirsty. Old Chrysanthemum, you have it..."

"Oh dear, I'm full from drinking. I really can't drink another drop." Chrysanthemum Douluo hurriedly patted his stomach as he spoke.
