Chapter 51: Tang San: I Wonder if the Shop Owner Wants Titanic Ape Meat (Third Update)

Inside the gourmet shop

At this moment, Yue Buqun and Abbot Xuan Ci silently glanced at Cha Cha, internally labeling the immortal as a lecher.

After all, the immortal's gaze had already revealed itself quite clearly.

It was plainly telling them: if she's not a beauty, don't even think about it.

Instantly, the two couldn't help but pound their chests and stamp their feet.

After finally stumbling upon an opportunity to endlessly savor gourmet food, they now discovered it had nothing to do with them.

Whether it was Yue Buqun, Zhang Sanfeng, or Ying Zheng, Tang San—they all felt a tinge of regret.

Yet, watching Yue Buqun and Abbot Xuan Ci being rebuffed, Ying Zheng finally understood.

It seemed there was no chance of becoming a shopboy for the immortal!

Without warning, everyone felt deeply regretful.

As for what everyone was thinking, Cha Cha naturally had no idea.

Right now, she remained utterly baffled and confused by the actions of Yue Buqun and the others.

It's just being a server—why are they all scrambling to get the job?

Has she been out of touch with society for too long?

Are servers nowadays such a great blue-collar job?

Though puzzled inside, Cha Cha did not voice her thoughts.

In an instant, inside the gourmet shop, as Yue Buqun and the others were rejected,

those who had finished eating began to leave one by one.

Among the crowd, Tang San now wore a smile, hastily leaving with a packed box of egg fried rice.

Right now, under the guidance of Zhao Wují from the Shi Shi Laike Academy, he had arrived at the Soul Beast Forest.

He was searching for his third Soul Ring—he would soon ascend smoothly.

Thinking of this, Tang San grew even more relaxed and cheerful.

Stepping out of the gourmet shop, in a flash of shifting stars and changing heavens, Tang San returned to the Title Douluo world.

Title Title Douluo, Starry Forest

"Phew, I'm back!"

Glancing inside the tent, where everyone was fast asleep, Tang San let out a sigh of relief.

Slightly rising, Tang San gently patted Hearing Hearing Xiao Wu's body.

Hearing Hearing Xiao Wu, still asleep, sleepily opened her eyes, about to speak—but Tang San stopped her.

Without a word, he made a gesture; the next second, Tang San and Hearing Hearing Xiao Wu stepped out of the tent.

Near the campfire, Zhao Wují and Dai Mubai were on night watch.

Sensing Tang San and Hearing Hearing Xiao Wu sneak out, Zhao Wují gave them a knowing grin.

These days, young folks need to exercise restraint!

Quietly murmuring to himself, Zhao Wují deliberately shifted his attention away.

Behind the tent, Tang San pulled out the egg fried rice and braised eggs.

"Hearing Hearing Xiao Wu, hurry and eat!"

This trip to the Starry Forest was not only to find his third Soul Ring, but also to find a suitable one for Hearing Hearing Xiao Wu.

Although Tang San and the Shi Shi Laike group had spent some time together,

when it came to food, Tang San could only afford to care for Hearing Hearing Xiao Wu alone.

After all, the gourmet shop's food was limited—he couldn't give everyone a portion.

"Brother, you went again?"

Seeing Tang San pull out egg fried rice once more, Hearing Hearing Xiao Wu's eyes lit up.

She already knew the effects of egg fried rice from her previous taste.

Now seeing the egg fried rice and braised eggs again, Hearing Hearing Xiao Wu swallowed hard.

"Yeah, eat quickly—they'll wake up soon!"

Nodding to Hearing Hearing Xiao Wu, Tang San whispered softly.

But the moment he finished speaking, Tang San suddenly felt a pang of heart-rending dread.

His gaze instantly shot toward a direction, his Purple Extreme Demon Eye fully activated.

Beneath the dark night, within the dense forest, Tang San sensed an approaching danger.

"Quick, get out!"

At that moment, Zhao Wují, on night watch far away, roared loudly, waking everyone in the tent.

As Fatty, Ning Rongrong, Ao Si Ka, Zhu Zhuqing, and others awoke, a violent wind suddenly surged from the forest.

Hidden behind the tent, Tang San didn't hesitate—he instantly rushed to the others' side.

"Purple Extreme Demon Eye!"

His Purple Extreme Demon Eye pushed to its limit; the next moment, two lantern-sized eyes appeared in the darkness, followed by a massive body emerging from the night.

"Roar!"

The roar echoed across the entire camp; instantly, Tang San and the others felt a crushing pressure bearing down on them.

"King of the Forest—Titanic Ape!"

When they recognized the Soul Beast approaching, Tang San and Zhao Wují cried out in shock.

They never imagined that the Titanic Ape, the supreme king of the Starry Forest, would appear here.

Zhao Wují tried to communicate—but it was useless.

With no other choice, he could only unleash his seventh soul skill, his true beast form, to block the Titan Giant Ape's advance and let Tang San and the others escape.

But in the end, after the Shi Shi Laike Seven Devils all fought desperately to resist, Hearing Hearing Xiao Wu was still seized, just as in the original plot.

"Hearing Hearing Xiao Wu!"

Watching Hearing Hearing Xiao Wu being carried off, Tang San cried out in anguish.

Afterwards, he asked Oscar for a Flying Sausage and chased after her.

Along the way, Tang San kept blaming himself.

If his soul power hadn't risen so quickly, they wouldn't have come to the Star Dou Great Forest.

And if they hadn't come to the Star Dou Great Forest, Hearing Hearing Xiao Wu wouldn't have been seized.

All of this, every bit of it, was because of him!

The intense self-reproach made Tang San's heart ache unbearably at this moment.

Unconsciously, when Tang San once again encountered a Human Face Demon Spider, he decisively and brutally killed it.

Then he smoothly absorbed the Human Face Demon Spider's soul ring and, as a bonus, obtained an external attached soul bone.

However, just as Tang San was absorbing the soul ring, Zhao Wuji and the others had already rushed over in haste.

This time, because Tang San had broken through in strength ahead of schedule, the Dragon Duke and Snake Lady did not appear to cause trouble.

A mere three-thousand-year Human Face Demon Spider posed no danger to Tang San, who had already broken through level forty as a Hun Sect.

In fact, by the time Tang San had finished absorbing it smoothly, there wasn't even a trace of pain on his face.

"Brother!"

Just as Tang San had just finished absorbing the soul ring and opened his eyes, the familiar figure of Hearing Hearing Xiao Wu appeared right before him.

Seeing that Tang San had recklessly risked his life, chasing after her alone for her sake, Hearing Hearing Xiao Wu was deeply moved.

In her heart, the seed of love seemed to sprout.

And Tang San, seeing Hearing Hearing Xiao Wu return safely, was also so moved that he held her tightly.

The two remained like that for a while before finally letting go amid the others' teasing.

Seeing Hearing Hearing Xiao Wu safe, Tang San also breathed a sigh of relief.

Still, as for the Titan Giant Ape, this grudge was now firmly established.

Thinking of Su Mu back at the gourmet shop, Tang San couldn't help muttering softly to himself.

"I wonder if the shopkeeper needs Titan Giant Ape meat!"

Just that one soft murmur instantly stunned Hearing Hearing Xiao Wu beside him.

Brother, what are you trying to do?

Er Ming can't be eaten!
