Don't Hurt My Dad (Continued)

The people on Douluo Continent didn't know what a Zombie was, but he knew all too well. They were beings that sucked human blood!

Tang San circulated his inner energy with all his might and twisted his body, breaking free of Jiang Chen's grasp in an instant. In just a few steps, he darted to his father's side.

Jiang Chen was a little speechless. Tang San was far too timid. All he'd done was bare his teeth a little. Was there any need to react so strongly?

"But that kid's neck does look pretty delicious." Jiang Chen couldn't help gulping down a mouthful of saliva. He'd never drunk human blood before, but when he'd been so close to Tang San just now, he'd felt a deadly temptation. In his eyes, Tang San's neck had practically turned into a fragrant chicken drumstick.

He shook his head, suppressing that desire, and hurried after Tang San and his father.

He had no idea why Tang Hao had suddenly invited him over. Something felt off.

Could Tang Hao have taken a liking to my peerless talent and want Tang San and me to become friends? Jiang Chen wondered.

As they passed the villagers who had gathered to watch, they scattered in terror. Before, they'd dared to get within five meters of Jiang Chen, but now they wouldn't go anywhere near him—not even within fifty meters!

"That Tang Hao's really bold. Isn't he afraid of dying?"

"Exactly. I don't think we can ask him to make farm tools for us anymore."

"Mm, you're right. I'll tell my kid to stay away from Tang San, too."

Tang Hao held Tang San's hand in one of his and Jiang Chen's in the other as he led them toward his home.

Tang San kept turning his head to look at Jiang Chen on the other side of his father. He was genuinely afraid Jiang Chen might do something untoward and hurt Tang Hao.

He was even already thinking through ways to deal with Corpse Poison.

Though he'd never seen Corpse Poison in his previous life, he'd read about it in the Hundred Poisons Scripture.

For someone with an early-stage case of Corpse Poison, the symptoms weren't severe, and glutinous rice could be used to detoxify them.

Luckily, we still have some glutinous rice at home. Tang San felt a little relieved.

When they arrived at Tang San's home, Tang Hao smiled and said, "You're Jiang Chen, right? Sit wherever you like. Make yourself at home."

Jiang Chen smiled and sat down.

Tang Hao suddenly remembered that he'd invited Jiang Chen over, but didn't have anything to offer him as a host.

"Ahem... Xiao San, come here a moment." As he spoke, Tang Hao went into the inner room.

Tang San hurried after him. "Dad, what is it?"

Tang Hao made a shushing gesture and asked quietly, "You know how to catch fish, right?"

Tang San nodded, unsure why his father had suddenly asked. He'd never caught fish before and had no experience, but with his skill at Hidden Weapons, catching a few would be a piece of cake.

"Ahem... Well, we have a guest over, don't we? Go catch a couple of fish and cook them." Tang Hao's old face actually flushed a little.

Tang San finally understood. He gave his father a strange look, deeply puzzled. His dad seemed like a completely different person today.

Though he was puzzled, it felt pretty good. He'd never seen his father this happy before.

Maybe I should thank Jiang Chen, too, Tang San thought.
