Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 238 teaches Gu Yuena her first lesson: Don't try to get something for nothing!

Inside the living room, a servant had already set out breakfast on the table.

It includes bread, milk, eggs, ham, etc.

The quantities are all quite large.

Soul Masters have a larger appetite than ordinary people, especially Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Guang Ling, who all cultivate the Jade Bone Golden Muscle Divine Treasure Technique, requiring even more food.

Furthermore, the ham was made from the thigh meat of the soul beast Fang Bo, making it extremely nutritious.

Now, Xiao Wu has no hesitation about eating meat, and has come to regard herself as a human being, not a 100,000-year-old soft-boned rabbit.

Of course, she still doesn't eat rabbit meat.

Tang San understood this, and he and Guang Ling also avoided eating rabbit meat to be considerate of Xiao Wu's feelings.

Furthermore, there is little rabbit meat.

At this breakfast, besides Tang San, Xiao Wu, Guang Ling, and others, Gu Yue Na ate the most, and in the wildest way, she ate directly with her hands.

"Na'er, now that you've grown up to look like a human, you should act like one," Tang San reminded her.

Gu Yuena: "???"

What is this talking about?

"What I mean is, you can use chopsticks, or a knife and fork." Tang San held up chopsticks and demonstrated how to use them.

"This is so troublesome."

Gu Yuena complained, but still picked up the bamboo chopsticks next to the plate and imitated Tang San. She was a little unaccustomed to using them to pick up food for the first time, but she was much more skillful the second time.

His learning ability is evident.

"It's not difficult at all." Gu Yuena picked up a piece of ham with her chopsticks, tilted her head back, put it in her mouth, chewed a few times, and swallowed it. "The ham is really delicious."

She had eaten tusked boar meat before, but when prepared by humans, it was incredibly delicious.

Ugh~ I've decided. Once I have the strength to kill those despicable guys in the God Realm and become the ruler of Douluo Continent, I'll have humans make this kind of delicious food especially for me!

At this moment, a basket of steamed buns was brought out. The basket was more than half a meter in diameter and contained nearly a hundred small steamed buns, each about the size of a fist, which were stacked up to form a small mountain.

"I'll distribute them!" Gu Yuena, drawn by the aroma, jumped onto the table, picked up a steamer with her chopsticks, and placed it on Tang San's plate. She then gave one each to Xiao Wu, Guang Ling, and Lan Yinzi, before pulling the entire steamer to her seat and saying, "Alright, one for each of you. The rest are mine!"

Click!

Xiao Wu broke her chopsticks in half and gritted her teeth, saying, "This little girl really deserves a beating!"

If this guy weren't the ruler of all soul beasts, capable of unleashing god-level power, she would have slapped him long ago to make him understand that there is only one ruler of the Star Dou Great Forest, and that is her, Sister Xiao Wu!

"You should be glad you're not my daughter, or I'd spank you." Tang San sighed, picked up a steamed bun, took a bite, and said to Lingxi who was waiting beside him, "Sister Lingxi, your cooking is really good."

"Um, Your Excellency, you don't need to call me Sister Lingxi, just call me by my name." Lingxi thought to herself that she had met a good master, but felt that it was better to maintain a proper hierarchy.

"Don't be so formal about this. After all, I'm only fourteen. I'll have to wait until I come of age to call you by your name," Tang San said with a smile to Lingxi and Lingmeng. "Let's sit down and eat together."

"This..." Lingxi hesitated.

"Consider it an order from me, the Earl."

"Oh well."

Lingxi pulled Lingmeng to sit down, but she was very careful, as if she was afraid of messing something up.

Gu Yuena, completely at ease, gave Lingxi and Lingmeng each a steamed bun, then asked Tang San, "Why didn't you use chopsticks when you ate this meat-filled dumpling?"

"Because you can eat it with your hands," Tang San said with a smile.

"It seems like you can say whatever you want." Gu Yuena used chopsticks to stick a bun into her mouth, and then pulled the steamer closer to her, as if afraid that Tang San would snatch the food.

Tang San hadn't originally planned to do this, but seeing Gu Yuena's possessive attitude towards her food, he couldn't resist teasing her. So he picked up his chopsticks, and before she could react, he quickly reached out, grabbed a piece, and placed it on the empty plate in front of Xiao Wu.

Gu Yuena: "(#`O′) Hey!"

"Eat up, why aren't you eating any buns?" Tang San said with a smile, then reached out and picked up a bun, placing it in front of Guang Ling. He then picked up two more and placed them in front of Ling Xi and Ling Meng's plates respectively.

Seeing Tang San provoke her, Gu Yuena reached out to grab the chopsticks, but Tang San twisted his wrist and pressed down with his index finger, and one of the chopsticks flew out of her hand and circled around the back of Gu Yuena's hand.

Then--

Snapped!

Tang San picked up the chopstick again and tapped it on Gu Yuena's hand, saying, "Although you can hold the buns with your hands, you should use chopsticks to take them out while they're still in the steamer."

Gu Yuena, her eyes narrowed, seemed to understand something. She grabbed her chopsticks, jumped onto the table again, and said fiercely, "You're the first one to dare snatch food from me!"

While Gu Yuena was making her threats, Tang San grabbed another steamed bun, took a bite, and said, "If you keep talking, you won't even get a steamed bun."

"Just you wait!"

Gu Yuena made a harsh statement, and when she saw Tang San reach out with his chopsticks again, she immediately tried to stop him with her own chopsticks. However, the other party's fingers were extremely nimble. In his hands, the two chopsticks were like flying snakes, lifting and blocking, circling left and right, thrusting forward and parrying backward.

It's simply impossible to guard against.

Sometimes, the bun would even fly out of his hand to attract Gu Yuena's attention. Then, he would use another chopstick to push aside her chopsticks, catch the falling chopsticks, pick up the bun, and take it out of the steamer.

At this moment, Gu Yuena seemed to understand something. She stopped focusing on the pair of chopsticks in Tang San's hand and looked at her own five fingers. She clenched her fist, feeling the curvature of her joints and the gaps between them. Her eyes lit up, and she picked up the chopsticks again. She looked at the steamer, only to find that there was only one bun left inside.

The rest of the buns were eaten by Tang San, Xiao Wu, Guang Ling, and Ling Xi and her daughter Ling Meng.

"I absolutely cannot give you this last steamed bun!" Gu Yuena roared, her voice like a dragon's cry, as she reached for the chopsticks Tang San had extended.

"Huh?" Tang San asked in surprise, then smiled and said, "Not bad."

"Hehe, I have many more surprises for you!"

Gu Yuena smiled and picked up a steamed bun, but Tang San stretched out his chopsticks, passed them under the bun, and flicked it slightly, sending the bun flying into the air.

Gu Yuena immediately reached for the bun, but Tang San stood up, his chopsticks like two dragons and snakes blocking her chopsticks and grabbing the bun.

"drink!"

Gu Yuena suddenly slammed her chopsticks down, knocking away the bun that Tang San had grabbed, and fell into the steamer, her mouth agape: "Ah~".

Just as the bun was about to touch Gu Yuena's mouth, Tang San reacted and stopped the bun from touching his mouth again.

Seeing this, Gu Yuena suddenly stuck out her tongue and flicked the bun away.

"Uh... this bun is definitely not edible." Tang San's eyes twitched slightly, but he continued the "chopsticks to pick up buns" game, using a fraction of his strength to teach Gu Yuena how to better control her physical strength, just like Master Shifu teaching Po in "Kung Fu Panda".

Gu Yuena's talent is even more terrifying than A Bao's.

The clinking of their chopsticks was like two swordsmen each wielding two swords, vying for the first (steamed bun).

However, judging from the height difference between the two, it seems more like Tang San was guiding Gu Yuena to dance on the table.

In the end, after the dance, Tang San, with his superior stamina, prevailed and managed to grab the bun.

"You win, I don't want the steamed bun anymore!" Gu Yuena lay in the steamer, looking unhappy.

Tang San held the steamed bun to Gu Yuena's mouth and said, "Open your mouth."

Gu Yuena involuntarily opened her mouth.

Wave~

Tang San loosened his grip on the steamed bun, and it fell into Gu Yuena's mouth.

Taking a bite, savoring the fluffy dough and tender, fanged pork, Gu Yuena comfortably squinted her eyes and sat up straight from the steamer: "It tastes really good, I want more!"

Faced with that longing look, Tang San had no choice but to push the buns from his plate over and say, "Eat up, and wash the dishes later."

"No problem." Gu Yuena grabbed a steamed bun and stuffed it into her mouth. Only after finishing all the buns on the plate did she ask, bewildered, "What does 'washing dishes' mean?"

"It means you can't just freeload; you need to work." Tang San grabbed Gu Yuena by the back of her collar and pulled her off the table. "Getting something for nothing doesn't work here."

"Just because I'm stronger than you, does that mean I have to do everything my way here?" Gu Yuena didn't want to work; she just wanted to stay by Tang San's side and learn more.

"Human society isn't a simple dog-eat-dog world... But given that you're a 'wild child' who's just returned to normal human society, I can grant you a special privilege: if you can defeat me, then everything here will be up to you." Tang San flicked Gu Yuena's nose, then said to Lingxi and Lingmeng, who had also finished their meal, "Take her downstairs to familiarize herself with the dishwashing process."

Lingxi was a little worried: "She's only six years old, isn't that too young?"

"No, she's much more capable than you think, especially in terms of ability." Tang San's words were pointed, making Gu Yuena wary for a moment, but then she thought she might be overthinking it—how could the other party possibly know her true identity? That rabbit couldn't possibly sense my true identity either!

Xiao Wu, witnessing Gu Yuena's transformation from tension to relaxation, felt a pang of sadness, as if she were seeing her former self. Then, she suddenly became wary.

Will this so-called Lord of Soul Beasts try to steal my Third Brother from me in the future?

Speaking of which, Third Brother is getting stronger and stronger. Even he and Guangling together couldn't subdue that gigantic dragon that drove them to the brink of ecstasy...

···

After the meal, Tang San planned to write a new theory and have Fan Niu, Fan Ma, Ling Xi, and Ling Meng come over to check it for him, but suddenly received news that His Highness the Crown Prince was coming to visit...
