Chapter 31: The Grilled Fish Incident

Let's go back to a dozen minutes ago.

Xu Sanshi and Dugu Yanran came to Shrek's Food Festival mainly to celebrate their anniversary.

As the two were strolling through the food street, thinking of going to the place where they had their first date, a rich aroma of grilled fish attracted them.

The two followed the direction of the fish-smelling aroma and eventually found the source of the aroma.

It was a small grilled fish stall, and the owner was a blue-haired boy.

That person was none other than Huo Yuhao, the male protagonist of the original novel.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao was at the grilled fish stall, sprinkling salt on his grilled fish for seasoning. The rich aroma made Xu Sanshi and Dugu Yanran, who were standing nearby, drool.

So the two decided to queue up here first to buy grilled fish, and then go to the restaurant they originally wanted to go to.

As for why Huo Yuhao would grill fish here to earn money, besides the fact that his sect leader had passed on his skills, it was also a decision Huo Yuhao made to earn his tuition fees and savings.

After all, Shrek Academy is quite expensive, with tuition and cafeteria fees that are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

With Huo Yuhao's meager savings, he might not even be able to afford tuition next year.

Therefore, Tang Ya gave him an idea: to sell his specialty, grilled fish, at Shrek Academy.

This way, I can earn tuition fees while also cooking dinner for myself to save on evening expenses.

However, since Tang Ya helped Huo Yuhao arrange the ingredients and location for the dishes, he had to save a few grilled fish for Tang Ya and Bei Bei every day.

Fortunately, Huo Yuhao's cooking skills were quite good, and he quickly attracted a large number of people, so he didn't need to worry about losing money.

So leaving a few grilled fish for Tang Ya and Bei Bei isn't a particularly big problem.

Unfortunately, this thing that shouldn't have been a problem became a problem on the very first day he started selling grilled fish.

As mentioned before, Huo Yuhao's grilling skills are superb, which is why he quickly became popular among a large number of students.

Among them are Xu Sanshi and Dugu Yanran, whom we mentioned earlier.

Watching the students who had already bought grilled fish enjoying it so much, the two of them also wanted to try the grilled fish made by this newly opened stall to see if it was really that delicious.

However, just as the group reached the two of them, Huo Yuhao suddenly took out a sign and said, "Today's grilled fish is sold out. Please come again tomorrow."

This enraged Xu Sanshi, who had been waiting for a long time, who exclaimed, "What? Sold out! Don't you still have a few left?"

Huo Yuhao replied with a hint of apology, "Well, some of these are for my own dinner, and the rest are for the friends who provided me with the equipment."

Upon hearing this, Xu Sanshi, who had originally wanted to say something more, could only give up. After all, he wasn't an unreasonable person. The boy in front of him looked thin and weak, so it was normal for him to leave a few for himself and the friend who provided the cooking equipment.

Just then, Dugu Yanran asked, "Could we order some grilled fish from you and come back to pick it up tomorrow?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the students who hadn't gotten any fish looked at Huo Yuhao, wanting to hear his decision. After all, it was quite frustrating to have waited in line for so long and not get to eat grilled fish.

If they can book in advance, they can save time queuing and won't have to worry about not being able to get grilled fish.

As for Huo Yuhao? He was stunned the moment he saw Dugu Yanran again, but it was understandable. After all, he hadn't met many girls since he was a child, let alone a beauty like Dugu Yanran.

At least he was certain that in terms of appearance, the girl in front of him was even more beautiful than Tang Ya, who had previously invited him to join the Tang Clan.

Dugu Yanran looked at Huo Yuhao, who was stunned, and assumed that he was still troubled by his previous opinion, so he continued, "Well, if you want to order grilled fish in advance, you need to pay more handling fees. I have no objection to that. After all, it's a job to have someone store grilled fish for you."

At this moment, Huo Yuhao quickly realized what was happening and raised his hand, saying, "Sorry, I was distracted for a moment. Um, although I really want to follow your suggestion, senior, I'm a freshman now, and I want to spend most of my time cultivating. Besides, this method wouldn't be fair to the other customers, so please come back tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yanran said with disappointment, "Alright, if you insist, then so be it. See you tomorrow then? Sanshi, it's time to go, our date isn't over yet."

"Okay, my dear wife, I'm coming right away!" Xu Sanshi immediately shook off his disappointment at not being able to eat grilled fish and quickly walked towards his girlfriend.

However, because he was moving too fast, he accidentally knocked over Huo Yuhao's grill as he was leaving, and some sparks splashed onto Huo Yuhao's clothes.

Soon, Huo Yuhao's clothes started to catch fire. At this moment, Xu Sanshi, who was standing to the side, realized that he had caused trouble, so he immediately summoned his Xuanwu Martial Soul and summoned a large amount of water elements to extinguish the flames on Huo Yuhao's body.

Fortunately, thanks to the soulless ice-attribute martial soul given to him by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, Huo Yuhao was not burned by the flames just now.

Xu Sanshi, who was present, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Huo Yuhao was unharmed. He immediately raised his hands in a pleading posture and said, "I'm so sorry! It's my fault!"

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao looked at the grilled fish that had been completely charred. He felt a little annoyed, but he held back in the end because the person in front of him was his senior, and he, a level 15 Soul Master, had no way to resist.

At this moment, Xu Sanshi also realized that he had unintentionally destroyed the grilled fish vendor's dinner and stove in front of him, and could only take out a small bag from his storage soul tool with a pained expression and hand it to Huo Yuhao.

"I'm so sorry for ruining your dinner and stove. Consider this my apology."

Huo Yuhao took the bag from Xu Sanshi and, after examining it, found ten gold soul coins inside.

Huo Yuhao has never had so much money in his life!

You should know that he sells a grilled fish for only five copper soul coins. If you ignore the cost price, he would have to buy two thousand grilled fish to make up one gold soul coin.

Ten gold soul coins means he would have to sell 20,000 grilled fish to collect them!

Is this what it means to be a noble's child? Throwing away so much money so casually! Or is he just giving it away to himself?

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao felt his dignity had been violated and coldly said, "I don't need that much money, ten silver coins will suffice. These gold soul coins are too many; you should take them back!"

Although he didn't understand why Huo Yuhao's attitude had become so cold, Xu Sanshi still firmly said, "What I give away is given away, and I have no intention of taking it back. Alright, junior, just accept it."

Seeing Xu Sanshi's resolute attitude, Huo Yuhao could only accept the apology gifts he offered and say, "Alright, since you've said so, senior, then I'll accept them without hesitation."

Seeing that Huo Yuhao's complexion had improved, Xu Sanshi knew that the matter was over and planned to leave to continue his date with his girlfriend.

However, just as Xu Sanshi turned around, a rude voice shouted, "Xu Sanshi, you bastard, you'll pay for my grilled fish!"

A girl in pink threw several golden flying needles at Xu Sanshi, which flew straight at him like soaring dragons.
