A Month Passes, Heading to Tiantou City

Chapter 21: A Month Passes, Heading to Tiantou City

After Ye Ye finished speaking with Tang San, he handed him those books meant to correct his worldview and sent him on his way.

Once Tang San had left, Ye Ye checked the time and realized it was already quite late. He hadn't expected the conversation to drag on for so long, and even less did he expect that the protagonist, Tang San, would actually become his foster son.

Ye Ye continued to contemplate his future plans, deciding that in one month's time, he would head to Tiantou City to check in.

Just like that, the blink of an eye brought nightfall. Ye Ye prepared to go out for a meal and arrived on the streets of Nuoding City. It now resembled the night markets of his previous life, bustling with vendors selling all sorts of snacks.

Ye Ye bought whatever caught his eye; he wasn't short on money, so he simply ate and shopped as he walked.

Because Ye Ye hadn't engaged in any combat, his energy consumption was minimal. If he kept this up, he could go several days without feeling hungry; eating was merely a habit.

Ye Ye arrived in front of a tavern with a sign that read "Piaoxiang Restaurant." He stepped inside, and someone immediately came over to greet him.

Waiter: "What can I get for you, sir?"

Ye Ye: "Bring me two jars of your best wine."

Waiter: "Are you sure you want two jars?"

Ye Ye: "I'm sure."

Ye Ye went up to the second floor and found a seat by the window. Before long, the wine was delivered. Ye Ye picked up a jar and began to drink directly from it. Although Ye Ye had consumed alcohol in his previous life, he would get drunk after just a few glasses. However, thanks to his Godzilla body, he now had an immunity to alcohol and was essentially impossible to get drunk.

Ye Ye gazed at the beautiful night scenery and the bright moon in the sky. What he loved most was enjoying the night sky, especially now, because unlike his previous life where industrial pollution made it rare to see stars at night, the current Douluo Continent still allowed for a clear view of the stars.

Yet, every time night fell, Ye Ye felt a profound sense of loneliness. Looking up at the sky, he muttered, "Mom, Dad, look—you have a grandson now, even if he isn't biologically mine."

Ye Ye: "How nice it would be if someone were here to keep me company." With that, he took another sip of wine.

[Ding! Host, you still have me (ω)]

After finishing his wine, it was quite late, so Ye Ye returned to the academy and entered his teacher's dormitory.

A month passed in the blink of an eye. During this month, Ye Ye kept his promise and went to eat at the roast lamb stall every single day. The owner greeted him with a "nuclear-friendly" smile every day; although Ye Ye paid him well, there were no more sheep left to feed him, but the owner was terrified that Ye Ye might beat him up, so he just suffered in silence.

On the academy playground, a boy in blue clothes with blue hair was running hard while carrying a massive rock. Although he had grown accustomed to this training method, he still couldn't run very fast.

That's right, this was Ye Ye's foster son, Tang San. Ye Ye had been training Tang San this way for a month already—running with a giant rock every day, followed by push-ups, sit-ups, planks, various other drills, and sparring sessions with Ye Ye. Ye Ye could be described as merciless, leaving Tang San bruised and battered every single time.

However, the results were obvious. Not only had Tang San's body been strengthened, but his spirit power had also increased by one level. Increasing by one level in a month was quite fast, which made Tang San trust Ye Ye even more.

Just as Tang San was training, Ye Ye suddenly called him over.

Tang San: "What is it, Foster Father?"

Ye Ye: "I'm leaving tomorrow."

Tang San: "Why are you leaving, Foster Father?"

Ye Ye: "Because I need to go to Aoyou Continent."

Tang San: "Can you not go?"

(Ye Ye: "If I don't go, are you going to support me?"

Tang San: "Sure, I'll support you." Off-topic again.)

Ye Ye: "No! I must go."

Seeing how determined Ye Ye was, Tang San didn't try to persuade him further and simply said, "Alright! Take care, Foster Father."

Ye Ye: "Right! You must persist with my training methods, and you must read the books I gave you."

Tang San: "Understood."

Then, Tang San left to continue his training.

In the blink of an eye, a day passed.

Tang San came to see Ye Ye off: "Foster Father, have a safe journey."

Even the dean came to see him off: "Teacher Ye! Come back and visit often."

Ye Ye: "I'm not dead yet."

Ye Ye headed toward Tiantou City; after all, there was still one check-in location he hadn't visited yet! (Some might ask: what about the check-ins for this past month? I can only say the author forgot about that. It's a plot hole; if you really have to ask, let's just say the protagonist forgot.)

Ye Ye followed the route provided by the "Unscrupulous Navigation" and set off.
