Douluo Continent: I, Huo Yuhao, have a Beast Taming Space

Chapter 15 Where Did This Licking Turtle Come From?
Soon, a small queue formed in front of Huo Yuhao's stall.

Upon seeing this, Beibei immediately volunteered to help maintain order and collect money.

Tang Ya was happily munching on the first grilled fish that Huo Yuhao had specially saved for her, while watching the bustling scene with smug satisfaction.

See that? This is fish grilled by my younger brother.

Huo Yuhao's technique was skillful and his movements were swift; one fresh fish after another was quickly transformed into a mouthwatering golden color in his hands.

The charcoal crackled and popped, and the aroma grew stronger, making the small grilled fish stall the most bustling spot on the street.

Looking at the crowd queuing in front of him and the steady stream of copper soul coins flowing into his account, Huo Yuhao smiled.

Just as the grilled fish stall was doing brisk business and the queue was orderly, a slight commotion suddenly came from the back of the crowd.

People in line instinctively looked back and saw a slender figure slowly walking towards them.

She was a young girl with long, straight blonde hair, fair skin, and a well-proportioned figure. What was most striking about her were her beautiful light pink eyes, clear yet carrying a hint of aloofness.

She was wearing Shrek Academy's uniform, but that couldn't hide her outstanding temperament.

The crowd spontaneously parted to make way for her.

Many of the senior students looked amazed and somewhat awe-inspiring, whispering among themselves.

"It's Senior Jiang Nannan!"

"The most beautiful girl in the Foreign Languages ​​Department..."

"Why is she here too?"

Jiang Nannan seemed to be used to this kind of attention. She walked calmly to the grilled fish stall, her eyes falling on the golden and tempting grilled fish, and she gently sniffed.

She looked at Huo Yuhao, who was busy at work, and asked softly, "Junior, how much is this grilled fish?"

Huo Yuhao looked up and was slightly taken aback when he saw Jiang Nannan, then gave a friendly smile: "Senior, five copper soul coins each."

"Five copper soul coins..."

Jiang Nannan repeated it in a low voice, her slender fingers unconsciously fidgeting with the hem of her clothes, appearing somewhat hesitant.

Although the price is fair, she still needs to weigh it carefully, given her tight budget.

Huo Yuhao keenly caught her fleeting hesitation, and combined it with some memories from his past life, he understood.

Just as he was about to speak, Tang Ya jumped up in surprise.

"Nannan! You're here!"

Tang Ya quickly approached Jiang Nannan, affectionately took her hand, and pointed to the grill with her other hand.

"Xiaoya."

"Try Xiaoyuhao's grilled fish, it's delicious! Let me tell you, it's a taste you've never had before!"

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao also picked up a freshly grilled, fragrant fish, wrapped it in oil paper, and handed it to Jiang Nannan.

"Hello, senior. Since you're Xiaoya's friend, consider this grilled fish on my behalf."

Jiang Nannan looked at the grilled fish handed to her and was slightly taken aback.

The alluring aroma was so close, constantly assaulting her sense of smell.

She looked up at Tang Ya, who was smiling brightly, and then at Huo Yuhao, whose eyes were clear and whose attitude was sincere. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she felt a little embarrassed, but in the end she still reached out and took it, and said softly.

"Thanks……"

"You're welcome."

Huo Yuhao smiled.

"My name is Huo Yuhao, and I'm from Class 9 of the freshmen class." Jiang Nannan took a small bite of the grilled fish, and her eyes lit up instantly. Her amazed expression was a stark contrast to her previous aloof demeanor.

She swallowed the delicious fish and introduced herself, "My name is Jiang Nannan, I'm in fifth grade. Thank you, junior Huo Yuhao, your grilled fish... is very delicious."

Tang Ya watched from the side, shaking her head smugly, as if she had made the grilled fish herself: "Hehe, I knew it! Xiao Yuhao's cooking skills are top-notch!"

Just as the atmosphere was harmonious, a furious shout suddenly rang out.

"Stay away from Nannan!"

Before the words were finished, a dark figure charged in from outside the crowd like a bull, bringing with it a gust of wind, and its target was Huo Yuhao, who was talking to Jiang Nannan!

The newcomer was Xu Sanshi. His eyes were blazing with fury. He had clearly seen Jiang Nannan take the grilled fish from Huo Yuhao. Jealousy and anger overwhelmed him instantly. Without saying a word, he struck Huo Yuhao's chest with a palm strike. The palm strike was fierce, showing that he was truly enraged!
"Xu Sanshi!"

Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya shouted out their anger almost simultaneously.

Huo Yuhao's eyes turned cold, and he sneered inwardly: "Where did this sycophant come from!"

Facing Xu Sanshi's angry attack, Huo Yuhao neither dodged nor avoided it. He clenched his right fist and struck first, with a calm and steady aura, directly meeting the attack head-on!
boom!
A fist and a palm collided solidly, producing a dull thud. An invisible wave of air spread out from the two of them, causing the clothes of those nearby to flutter.

Xu Sanshi's angry expression froze instantly, turning into astonishment.

He felt an unimaginable force coming from the other's fist, his arm went numb and sore, and his body uncontrollably staggered back three steps before he could barely stand.

He subconsciously looked down at his palm and found that the web of his hand was slightly numb and trembling!
"What a strength!"

Xu Sanshi was shocked. He was a Xuanwu Turtle Martial Soul known for its defense, and his strength was among the best in his class. Yet he had suffered a loss at the hands of a newcomer.

In contrast, Huo Yuhao only swayed slightly before regaining his footing. He slowly withdrew his fist, a hint of mockery on his face, and teased, "Senior, why are you so angry? You attacked right away. Is the grilled fish so delicious that you've lost your mind?"

"you!"

Xu Sanshi was speechless for a moment, his face turning pale and then red.

"Xu Sanshi!"

Jiang Nannan quickly stepped forward, blocking Huo Yuhao's path. Her pretty face was frosty, and her pink eyes were filled with annoyance.

"My affairs are none of your business! Please stop following me!"

Tang Ya stormed over, pointing at Xu Sanshi's nose and yelling, "Xu Sanshi! How dare you bully the little brother that Sister Xiaoya is protecting!"

She suddenly pulled Beibei, who had just walked over, and shouted in a shocking manner, "Beibei! Beat him up! If you win, I'll let you kiss me!"

Beibei, who had just arrived and was about to break up the fight, stumbled upon hearing this and almost lost his balance. His handsome face instantly filled with embarrassment, and he stammered, "Teacher Xiaoya, please don't add fuel to the fire."

The scene quickly descended into chaos.

"Nannan, I..."

Xu Sanshi looked at Jiang Nannan, who was standing in front of Huo Yuhao, and his anger instantly turned into flattery and eagerness as he tried to explain.

"I'm worried about him..."

"You don't need to worry about that!"

Jiang Nannan interrupted him coldly, her eyes revealing undisguised annoyance.

"Xu Sanshi, please leave immediately and do not disturb us."

Huo Yuhao watched Xu Sanshi's humble and ingratiating manner and couldn't help but purse his lips, muttering in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for those around him to hear.

"Tsk, what a classic case of licking a turtle's boots..."

"What did you say?!"

Xu Sanshi suddenly turned his head and glared at Huo Yuhao. His hearing was good, so he naturally caught Huo Yuhao's words.
