Douluo Continent: Martial Soul - Mechanical Wolf, Creating an Unmanned Army

Chapter 14 Huo's Grilled Fish, The Trouble-Making Turtle

It was evening.

Shrek Academy, freshman dormitory building.

"Hurry up, it's almost time."

Wang Dong urged Jiang Cheng to hurry up and meet him at the main gate of Shrek Academy.

While he was out eating grilled fish, he could also take a stroll around the Shrek Academy night market.

"Let's go."

Jiang Cheng silently withdrew his martial spirit.

Eating is something that cannot be done by a martial spirit, so one must do it personally.

As the two walked out of Shrek Academy, they saw a long stretch of night market.

Some of the stalls were run by vendors from Shrek City, while others were run by students from Shrek Academy who were working there to earn money.

Besides Huo Yuhao, there are many other students.

"Huo Yuhao hasn't arrived yet?"

Wang Dong scanned the area around the gate but couldn't find any trace of Huo Yuhao.

He felt a surge of dissatisfaction.

As the one who hosted the dinner, he didn't even arrive on time.

"Let's go for a walk over there."

Jiang Cheng pushed Wang Dong's back and walked towards the night market.

Huo Yuhao treated them to grilled fish, but he didn't invite them to eat elsewhere; he made the grilled fish himself.

"Aren't we waiting for Huo Yuhao?"

Wang Dong was puzzled.

Although Huo Yuhao's absence made him somewhat unhappy, it didn't warrant him leaving immediately.

"He's over there."

After leaving the academy, Jiang Cheng disguised himself as a human using his Ten-Headed Mechanical Wolf Martial Soul and sensed the road ahead.

At this moment, there was a long queue in front of Huo Yuhao's stall.

Business seems to be booming, but Huo Yuhao didn't prepare many grass carp.

Except for four fish that were not for sale, all sixteen fish available today have been sold.

"How did he get inside by himself?"

Although Wang Dong was puzzled, he felt much better.

Since Huo Yuhao didn't break his promise, there was no need for him to get angry.

The main reason was that he told Jiang Cheng that if Huo Yuhao didn't come, it would make Wang Dong lose face.

As the two approached Huo's Grilled Fish stall.

Standing at the very front of the stall at this moment is an absolutely stunning woman.

She looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old, with a slender and well-proportioned figure, long golden hair cascading down her back in large waves, snow-white skin, and eyes like pools of clear water.

Her every glance exudes a refined and elegant air; her complexion is like jade, like a crescent moon with a halo, like snow piled on flowering trees; her gentle and graceful demeanor, her charming words, and her delicate and melodious manner make her incomparably beautiful.

Her breathtaking beauty seemed to dim the colors of everything around her.

"What are you looking at?"

Wang Dong followed Jiang Cheng's gaze.

He happened to see a woman in front of Huo Yuhao who was stunningly beautiful but not arrogant.

"You bastard, you're looking at pretty girls!"

Wang Dong glared angrily at Jiang Cheng.

She's just a little bit good-looking, is that really that attractive?

"Why are you so agitated? I was just browsing."

Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes at Wang Dong.

If I didn't know that Wang Dong was actually Wang Dong'er, a girl disguised as a boy.

He'd probably think the wrong thing, that Wang Dong was going to treat him like a best buddy.

"Is she prettier than Princess Jiu Jiu?"

Wang Dong suddenly asked a question.

He immediately regretted asking the question; what a terrible thing he had asked.

"How would I know? I've never even met Princess Jiujiu."

Jiang Cheng shrugged.

He had never actually met Princess Jiu Jiu; he had only heard that she was very beautiful.

Given his uncle's rank, he wouldn't normally be summoned, let alone have known him for a long time.

"So you still want to be the prince consort? Aren't you afraid Princess Jiujiu is ugly?"

Wang Dong thought this guy had met Xu Jiujiu before!

As a result, he hadn't seen them for a long time, and the two didn't know each other at all.

"Kid, you dare not sell!"

A golden light flew directly towards the stove from the Huo's Grilled Fish stall ahead.

The newcomer was dressed in a black school uniform, tall and handsome with thick eyebrows, bright eyes, a straight nose, and a square mouth.

"We've sold out of grilled fish for today."

Huo Yuhao repeated the same statement.

Despite the fact that the other person is an older student, he still won't back down.

Of the remaining four fish, two belonged to Teacher Xiaoya and Beibei, and the other two belonged to Jiang Cheng and Wang Dong.

We've already sold sixteen fish. If you want more, come back tomorrow.

"Don't you still have some?"

"I'll take them all."

Xu Sanshi just threw out a gold soul coin.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

At the price of 5 copper soul coins per grilled fish, you could easily buy 20, but buying just two would be more than enough.

As they were talking, Xu Sanshi was about to snatch the grilled fish from Huo Yuhao's hand.

Besides the two fish that Huo Yuhao was grilling, there were two more fish in the Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moonlit Night.

Huo Yuhao would not allow anyone's grilled fish to be lost, no matter whose.

Huo Yuhao ignored the grill and instead took the grilled fish and retreated.

"Kid, you're asking for it?"

Xu Sanshi was furious.

This kid made him lose face in front of Jiang Nannan, so he's already got a beating.

"Hey, don't waste the food."

Jiang Cheng reached out and grabbed one of the grilled fish, while his other hand gently reached out and caught Xu Sanshi's fist that was coming at him.

At this time, Xu Sanshi was only a Soul Venerable, and had not yet reached the Soul Sect level.

"Hehe, this one should be mine, right?"

The moment Wang Dong saw Huo's Grilled Fish, he understood.

Huo Yuhao treated them to grilled fish, which he must have grilled himself; the two fish he's holding now must have been for him too.

"Jiang Cheng! Wang Dong!"

Huo Yuhao was surprised that the two of them actually rushed out.

Keep in mind that the other person was wearing a black school uniform and was a senior student at Shrek Academy.

It would be extremely unwise to confront older students over two grilled fish.

As for himself, Huo Yuhao hadn't considered it at all. He just didn't want Xu Sanshi to take away the grilled fish that he was supposed to give to others.

"This year's freshmen?"

Xu Sanshi never expected this.

This year's freshmen were able to take a punch from him without even flinching.

"You dare steal my grilled fish?"

Jiang Cheng gave Xu Sanshi a cold look.

He didn't actually have a good impression of these aristocratic children; otherwise, he wouldn't have beaten Wang Dong up the first time they met.

They all act all high and mighty like idiots, but they don't have any real skills.

"Kid, dare you come with me to the Soul Arena?"

Xu Sanshi did not make any further moves.

According to Shrek Academy's rules, upperclassmen who attack lowerclassmen will be expelled.

Despite his impressive background, he wouldn't act rashly before understanding the other party's origins.

As for Huo Yuhao, what kind of background could a student who works part-time to support himself?

"Xu Sanshi, stop right there!"

Jiang Nannan had a cold face.

What she hated most was Xu Sanshi's demeanor, the way he acted like he would do anything for her.

But what did he do?

First they bullied the freshmen who were grilling fish, and now they want to go to the Soul Fighting Zone with the freshmen.

"You're so weak, you don't interest me at all."

Jiang Cheng slowly withdrew his hand.

With his other hand, he picked up the grilled fish and put it in his mouth.

Thanks to Xu Sanshi's actions, the fish wasn't cooked to perfection, but the taste was indeed quite good.

It tastes even better than the grand hotels of my previous life.

"It tastes good."

Jiang Cheng turned around and praised Huo Yuhao, completely ignoring Xu Sanshi.

Ignoring them is the greatest insult to the enemy.
