Tang San and Yu Xiaogang Want to Eat, There Is None for You

After returning to her room, Ye Lin finished a simple workout and changed her clothes.

"Lin-jie, you train so hard every day."

Xiao Wu sighed with emotion.

"Haven't you heard that the early bird catches the worm?"

Ye Lin replied casually.

"Ah!"

Xiao Wu slapped her forehead. "Lin-jie, if you're the early bird, then what chance do the rest of us have?"

"Alright, alright, let's go eat breakfast."

The two of them went straight to the cafeteria. Before they even entered, a rich, meaty aroma wafted into Ye Lin's nose, mixed with the faint scent of medicinal herbs.

Inside the cafeteria, Shao Xin, a level 70 Spirit Saint from Shrek Academy, was holding a large iron ladle and stirring the meat porridge in a pot; the mouth-watering aroma was coming from there.

"Hello, Teacher Shao."

Ye Lin greeted Shao Xin respectfully.

"Hmm."

Shao Xin nodded, quickly took out two bowls, and filled them. He also brought over two meat buns, two eggs, and two glasses of milk.

"These are for you two. If the buns and porridge aren't enough, there's more."

It took Ye Lin and Xiao Wu two trips to carry all the food to the table before they began to eat.

It had to be said that the food made by a Food-type spirit master was truly excellent.

The savory aroma of the lean meat porridge was incredibly appetizing, with the rich fragrance of rice combined with the freshness of the meat and the sharp bite of scallions and ginger.

There was plenty of lean meat inside, accounting for a full third of the bowl.

Ye Lin ate heartily, completely enjoying the delicious meal.

Even Oscar, who usually loved to sleep in, had come to the cafeteria today. When Shao Xin saw Oscar, a smile immediately appeared on his calm face.

"Teacher."

"Eat up."

The other Shrek Academy students were also full of praise as they ate; if a Food-type Spirit Saint really put their mind to cooking, how could it be anything less than great?

"What a fragrant smell."

Suddenly, Yu Xiaogang's voice came from outside the door. He walked in slowly with Tang San.

He nodded with satisfaction.

"Flender has done well. He really has improved the quality of the cafeteria's food."

"I like this very much."

"Only then will Tang San's body be able to grow properly."

"Foster father, you sit down, I'll go get the food."

Tang San had Yu Xiaogang sit down and walked over to Shao Xin's side.

"Teacher, please give me two portions of food."

Shao Xin glanced back at Tang San and Yu Xiaogang, then continued stirring the porridge in the pot.

"Sorry, there are no portions for you two."

"Hmm?" Tang San immediately frowned.

"Could it be that the cafeteria is refusing to let me eat?"

Shao Xin couldn't be bothered to talk much to Tang San and gestured for him to leave.

Yu Xiaogang slammed his hand onto the table. "On what grounds!"

"Why is there no food for us!"

Shao Xin's indifferent voice rang out.

"This is the Dean's order. If you have a problem with it, go find the Dean."

"That fellow Flender, I'll find him then!"

Yu Xiaogang stood up abruptly. "I'm going to find Flender right now!"

Just as he finished speaking, Flender's figure appeared at the cafeteria entrance.

He had long anticipated that Yu Xiaogang would cause trouble.

"No need to look for me, I'm already here."

Yu Xiaogang glared at him coldly. "Flender, what is the meaning of this!"

Flender did not get angry; his voice remained very calm.

"You said it yourself, you won't make things hard for Tang San. I'll look after my students, and you look after your Tang San."

"Since our food is poor, you can go feed your Tang San something good yourself."

Yu Xiaogang clenched his fists tightly.

"Fine!"

"Then I'll take Tang San to eat well!"

"You bunch of bastards, I don't care for your scraps!"

He pulled Tang San and left the cafeteria.

His own Spirit Guidance Bracelet was full of Gold Soul Coins, and Tang San had some too, enough to let Tang San eat all kinds of high-quality food.

Yu Xiaogang injected a wisp of spirit power into his Spirit Guidance Bracelet, but his face suddenly turned awkward.

He had just remembered that all his belongings had been robbed!

He had absolutely no money left!

The Spirit Guidance Bracelet was completely empty!

He looked at Tang San with some embarrassment.

Now, he had no choice but to rely on Tang San's money.

"San, the contents of my Spirit Guidance Bracelet were all stolen. I don't have a single Gold Soul Coin left."

"You still have money, right?"

"Ah!"

"Me!"

Tang San was stunned. "Teacher, I don't have any money either. I don't even have a single Copper Soul Coin left."

"To pay for your medical treatment earlier, I had to sell everything I had to scrape together the fees. The last hundred Gold Soul Coins were just handed over."

Yu Xiaogang's eyes widened.

"You're broke too!"

"That means neither of us has any money!"

Tang San nodded. "It seems that way."

"So, Godfather, what are we eating for breakfast?"

"I still need to run until sunset today, which consumes a lot of energy."

Yu Xiaogang didn't speak. He felt extremely awkward right now.

Eat? Eat my foot!

What is there to eat without money!

His brain spun frantically.

Then, he silently looked at Tang San's right hand.

"Godfather, what are you trying to do!"

Tang San shivered, feeling that his godfather's gaze was incredibly chilling.

Yu Xiaogang's eerie voice rang out.

"San, tell me, is it possible that Blue Silver Grass could also be considered a food-type martial soul?"

"Ah!"

Tang San was dumbfounded. "Blue Silver Grass as a food-type martial soul!"

"Can that even be eaten?"

"Godfather, you can't be serious!"

Yu Xiaogang nodded and began to spout a load of nonsense to Tang San.

"According to the Eleventh Core Competitiveness Theory of Martial Souls I just proposed,"

"The essence of a martial soul is energy, and the essence of food is also to provide energy."

"So, doesn't eating a martial soul mean eating food!"

"I believe that not only can plant-type martial souls like Blue Silver Grass be eaten, but your Clear Sky Hammer should also be edible. It's just that our teeth aren't strong enough to chew it."

Tang San nodded thoughtfully. "Godfather is truly the invincible Grandmaster of theory. That makes a lot of sense."

"Then for breakfast?"

"We'll eat your Blue Silver Grass!"

Yu Xiaogang soon led Tang San back into the cafeteria with his head held high.

"Why are you back again?"

Flender asked him with some confusion.

"Coming back, naturally, is to eat!"

"If you won't let me eat your food, then surely I can borrow the kitchen, and we brought our own ingredients."

Flender did not refuse; he actually wanted to see what new tricks Yu Xiaogang could pull.

"Fine, go ahead."

In the kitchen, "Xiao San, release your Blue Silver Grass and stretch it out onto the cutting board!"

Yu Xiaogang held a kitchen knife and directed him; every time a long section of Blue Silver Grass grew out, he would chop it down until he had enough for two large plates.

He scraped the tiny thorns off the Blue Silver Grass and quickly sliced it into thin shreds; anyone who didn't know better would think this was a plate of shredded sea cabbage.

"Light soy sauce? Vinegar? Add a little,"

"Sichuan peppercorn powder, numbing peppercorn powder?"

Yu Xiaogang looked at the two bottles and frantically sprinkled them into the plates.

"Add more, I'm going to add a lot!"
