"Master? Master, meow~!"
Tang San opened her bleary eyes and stared at Xiao Yexuan in alarm.
She had almost forgotten to add "meow~!" at the end of her words.
This was extremely important. Otherwise, she would face endless punishment.
To Tang San, no punishment was acceptable.
Yet Xiao Yexuan merely smiled at her gently, leaving Tang San deeply puzzled.
There was not the slightest hint of danger mixed into that smile.
She rarely saw such an expression on Xiao Yexuan's face.
"Little San, you're awake. I didn't expect Aunt Flow to leave your body so weak. This is the Spicy Rabbit Head I made for you. Eat it while it's hot."
Xiao Yexuan placed the Spicy Rabbit Head before Tang San as he spoke.
Tang San blankly stared at the Spicy Rabbit Head before her. Why did it feel so familiar?
But what she found even more suspicious was Xiao Yexuan's attitude. Why had it suddenly become so good?
It was as if a warm boyfriend were caring for his girlfriend.
However, when Xiao Yexuan said that Tang San had Aunt Flow, Tang San immediately began to feel guilty.
At the same time, she thought about what had happened last night.
How could it have been because of Aunt Flow?
It was clearly because she had suffered from insomnia last night and gotten Itchy Hands a few more times.
Even after getting Itchy Hands several times, Tang San had only fallen asleep shortly before dawn. Sure enough, Itchy Hands affected sleep.
That was why she had only woken up now.
Wasn't this plainly sleeping in?
Tang San immediately jumped up, then knelt on the floor and nervously said to Xiao Yexuan:
"I'm sorry, Master, meow~! I... I overslept again, meow~! I still haven't cooked for Master, meow~! I even made Master cook personally, meow~! I... I am a sinner. Please punish me, Master, meow~!"
Of course, Tang San did not want to be punished, but attitude determined everything.
If she said this, perhaps Xiao Yexuan would think more highly of her, feel that Tang San was quite good, and treat her better in the future.
Xiao Yexuan saw this very clearly. Naturally, Tang San's punishment would only become more severe; Tang San simply had not realized it.
So Xiao Yexuan helped Tang San up from the floor, shook his head, and said:
"Little San, you're not feeling well right now. We can talk about punishment later. Eat first. It's very nourishing!"
Tang San was so moved that she was on the verge of tears.
Tang San picked up a piece of rabbit meat with her chopsticks, put it in her mouth, and carefully chewed it.
The meat was truly incredibly delicious.
Where had Xiao Yexuan found this rabbit meat?
Not only was it delicious, but it also seemed extremely beneficial to the body. After taking one bite, Tang San felt as though she had swallowed some divine medicine.
The exhaustion in her body vanished. Her head no longer hurt, and her waist was no longer sore.
She felt like she could sneak into the bathroom and get Itchy Hands countless times.
What an exhilarating thing that would be. Tang San completely fell in love with this feeling. If only she could always have rabbit meat this delicious.
After just one bite, Tang San knew that this rabbit meat was superb. She immediately took another huge bite, her mouth never stopping.
Perhaps Tang San was still very concerned about Xiao Yexuan's punishment, so she tried to curry favor with him.
She had to constantly express her loyalty and dependence on Xiao Yexuan.
Thus, before the rabbit meat in her mouth had even been fully swallowed, Tang San mumbled to Xiao Yexuan:
"Master, meow~! This rabbit meat is so delicious, meow~! Thank you for the reward, Master, meow~! Meow meow meow meow!"
Tang San was overjoyed.
The corners of Xiao Yexuan's lips curled up as he said:
"Of course it's delicious. This rabbit meat came from a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast."
"A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast! Meow!"
Tang San was startled. She had heard of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts. Those things were countless times more terrifying than Ten-Thousand Year Soul Beasts.
Her Old Man, Tang Hao, had relied on a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring to defeat Spirit Hall's many experts despite having only just become a Titled Douluo.
That was practically humanity's greatest treasure for soul masters.
Anyone who saw one would want to obtain it.
Tang San felt that she had struck it rich. The flesh and blood of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast contained incomparably immense energy, and eating it was greatly beneficial to the body.
She quickly thanked Xiao Yexuan again:
"Master, meow~! Thank you so much, Master, meow~! You even let me eat such a precious treasure, meow~! Master treats me the best, meow~!"
Tang San's sweet voice was intoxicating to hear.
But Xiao Yexuan did not believe this act of Tang San's at all. At the very least, while saying such pleasant words, she was surely thinking about how to kill him.
Furthermore, Xiao Yexuan had now used the head of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast to cook. Anyone with eyes could tell that Xiao Yexuan had killed a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
The most precious things about a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast were its Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring and the guaranteed Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.
A Soul Ring could not be taken away, but a Soul Bone could be seized by killing someone. No one would give up a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.
Tang San was the sort who wanted to claim any good thing she came across for herself. That would never change.
Tang San had indeed thought of all that, but she was numb inside.
Xiao Yexuan had at least one Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone already.
That meant his strength was not far from her Old Man's.
Rescuing herself would be a difficult matter now.
As for stealing Xiao Yexuan's Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone? Tang San felt that she could only dream about it.
No matter how she thought about it, there was delicious food and enjoyable things before her now, so Tang San decided she should enjoy them as quickly as possible.
Otherwise, she would be punished afterward and would not have much time left to enjoy herself.
Very quickly, Tang San finished the entire Spicy Rabbit Head. She even licked the plate clean.
She looked like a beggar who had been starving for half a month.
Tang San patted her slightly rounded belly and said:
"Meow meow~! Thank you for the meal, Master. It was so delicious, meow~!"
"Mm! Was it good? Then I'll make it for you every day," Xiao Yexuan said.
"Every day! Master, meow~! A soul beast only has one head, meow~! Even if it had multiple heads, it still couldn't have one eaten every single day, meow~! That's impossible, meow~!" Tang San said suspiciously.
"Hmph! I'm raising that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast right now. If you want to eat it, forget rabbit heads—I can even make Roasted Whole Rabbit," Xiao Yexuan said proudly.
"Master is raising a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast... meow~!" Tang San's eyes widened. What terrifying strength it took to capture a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast and raise it.
Could he even cut some meat off that soul beast every day?
Ten-Thousand Year Soul Beasts were already difficult to tame, let alone Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.
"Want to see that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast? I'll take you to have a look." Xiao Yexuan began the next stage of her punishment.
Yet Tang San did not sense anything at all. Her heart warmed as she felt that Xiao Yexuan letting her see it showed enormous trust in her.
A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast—what an immense fortune that would be!
