Tang San's shock

Blue Star, inside the Villa.

After Qian Renxue and the other four familiarized themselves with their rooms and rested for a while, they all came down to the first floor toward evening, wanting to see what Chen Shi would make for dinner.

Just what was the hot pot he had mentioned earlier?

More importantly, they had not eaten their fill at noon after arriving in this world, and without Soul Power to replenish their bodies, they were hungry by now.

Once everyone had gathered, Chen Shi wasted no time, taking everyone except Dugu Yan into the kitchen to get busy.

As for Dugu Yan, Chen Shi had her do some simple cleaning in the first-floor dining room and learn how to use the tools.

In the kitchen, Chen Shi divided up the tasks, giving each of the four women something to handle.

These included washing vegetables, chopping vegetables, slicing meat, peeling and opening packages, and cooking rice.

As Chen Shi took the necessary ingredients out of the refrigerator, he taught them how to prepare them.

With the six of them working together, the hot pot was soon ready, and they began feasting in the kitchen.

Worried that the five women could not handle spicy food, Chen Shi had even specially prepared a divided pot.

Most people on the Douluo Continent, however, found these events in the Villa quite ordinary, merely thinking that they could borrow this way of eating.

But inside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Tang San froze at the sight of the hot pot meal.

As someone who had transmigrated, he knew that hot pot had already existed in the Bashu region before his transmigration, though it had not been as refined as the one on the Light Screen.

Moreover, Tang San felt that some of the things on the Light Screen bore traces of his era.

In that case, could this Light Screen really be connected to the world of my previous life?

If possible, I should have Xiao Wu or Rongrong ask exactly what sort of world it is.

Just then, a displeased voice rang out, interrupting Tang San's thoughts.

"Boy, I may have tacitly allowed you to stall, but I never said you could do it so brazenly!"

The speaker was none other than Azure Luan Douluo.

Coming back to his senses, Tang San hurriedly apologized. "Senior, I'm sorry. My injuries flared up just now, and I was feeling unwell, so I got a little distracted."

"I'll begin explaining which Immortal-grade Herbs are inside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well right away."

Only after hearing Tang San's answer did Azure Luan Douluo's expression ease slightly.

He glanced at the wound on Tang San's chest and frowned faintly, his thoughts unknown.

Tang San then began introducing the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well:

"This Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is one of the blessed lands, and something I have seen in my lifetime. When I first entered this place yesterday, I saw quite a few Immortal-grade Herbs. They were: aromatic silk beauty..."

As he listened to Tang San, something stirred in Chen Xin's heart.

Aromatic silk beauty? Could it be related to aromatic silk beauty?

He was just about to ask when he heard Tang San name aromatic silk beauty, and he immediately understood that the Immortal Herb Tang San had given Rongrong had come from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

But now, that aromatic silk beauty was clearly in Dugu Bo's hands.

Then he heard Tang San continue, "The Immortal-grade Herbs also include the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, crystal blood dragon ginseng, the Cockscomb Phoenix-Tail Sunflower, singular velvet sky chrysanthemum..."

After Tang San listed dozens of Immortal Herbs, the atmosphere throughout the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well began to change.

Dugu Bo had harvested all these treasures himself. Did he really think hiding would make everything all right? He was making enemies of every faction on the entire Douluo Continent.

As Tang San droned on, Azure Luan Douluo grew increasingly irritated.

"Enough. Let's leave the Immortal Herbs aside for now. Tell me, what secrets do you know about Dugu Bo? Where is he hiding now?"

As Azure Luan Douluo finished speaking, everyone's attention converged on Tang San.

Tang San inwardly rejoiced at everyone's reaction.

His goal was finally about to be achieved.

Not only could he stall for time, but he had also demonstrated his importance.

At this thought, Tang San's expression changed. He sucked in a sharp breath and said with a pained expression:

"Seniors... my... injuries... are flaring up again. The pain... is unbearable. I'm afraid... it will be difficult... to answer... your questions..."

At these words, Azure Luan Douluo's expression darkened. How could he fail to see that Tang San was deliberately stalling and also trying to swindle some healing medicine out of them?

Azure Luan Douluo sneered, glanced at Chen Xin and Tang Xiao, and said disdainfully:

"This Tang San seems closer to you two. If you don't want to give him healing medicine, we might as well let him die here. My Spirit Hall has two people on the Light Screen. I refuse to believe that after they return, we won't be able to find anything out when we send them back next time."

Hearing this, Sword Douluo Chen Xin also replied with a smile, "I already gave Tang San an extremely precious healing pill earlier. Otherwise, he would have died long ago. I have no more pills to offer now."

At this, both Tang San's and Tang Xiao's expressions darkened.

Tang San had not expected that his attempt to swindle some healing medicine would end up targeting his own eldest uncle.

But he felt no regret whatsoever. After all, keeping himself alive came first.

As for this ready-made eldest uncle, he had never helped him before. His presence at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well now was clearly also an attempt to reap some benefits.

And were my words something just anyone could listen to? How could they pay no price? Better that I benefit than someone else.

Meanwhile, Tang Xiao had not brought any pills with him either, but he felt this was a good opportunity.

What if I seized the chance to take Tang San out while giving him medicine?

Wouldn't that accomplish my goal of protecting Tang San?

Then Brother Hao probably wouldn't blame me, would he?

At this thought, Tang Xiao leaped straight into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

A medicine bottle also appeared in his hand.

But before he could get too close, he heard Azure Luan Douluo warn him:

"Sect Master Tang, don't come any closer. Just hand the pills to Sword Douluo. He'll feed them to your nephew."

At these words, Tang Xiao's expression chilled slightly, but he still said:

"I think it would be better if I fed him myself. My Soul Power is similar to Little San's, so treating him would yield twice the results with half the effort!"

"Heh!"

Hearing this, Azure Luan Douluo openly mocked him:

"Sect Master Tang, surely you must be joking. What do you think Tang San's life or death has to do with me? Why should I let you save him? Wouldn't it be better if he died?"

Realizing that his plan could not succeed, Tang Xiao could only toss the medicine bottle in his hand to Sword Douluo.

Azure Luan Douluo did not stop the medicine bottle, allowing it to land safely in Sword Douluo's hand.

Sword Douluo then took out a pill and fed it to Tang San.

After swallowing the pill, Tang San felt somewhat dissatisfied.

The pill Tang Xiao gave me is clearly inferior to Sword Douluo's. What is wrong with this eldest uncle? Can't he give me something good?

Though Tang San thought this, he did not show it.
