Chapter 79 Monster Soup
On the street, Lin Chen and Qin Shaoshao walked into the clothing store, and the shop assistant immediately said:

Are you two looking to buy clothes?

Lin Chen could tell at a glance that she was a new salesperson.

If you come here and don't buy clothes, what else can you buy but steamed buns?
The sales clerk seemed to realize her words were inappropriate and said, "Are you two looking for matching couple items, or..."

Lin Chen immediately interrupted, "We want the black robes."

"Sorry." The shop assistant reacted quickly, immediately realizing that they were going to attend a city funeral.

She picked out two pieces that were similar in size and said, "Try them on."

"No need," Qin Shaoshao refused.

Lin Chen said, "I'm just afraid it won't fit."

It wasn't that Lin Chen wanted to cause trouble, but he knew that Qin Shaoshao valued this burial very much, so he wanted to be more careful.

"Yes, it's free to try." The clerk nodded.

Qin Shaoshao hesitated for a moment, then followed the shop assistant to the fitting room.

As for Lin Chen, he just randomly put it in, and that was enough as long as it looked about right.

A short while later, Qin Shaoshao came out after trying on the clothes.

She was dressed in black, which made her look more noble and elegant, giving her a refreshing and striking appearance.

This is mainly because the clothes we wear now are vastly different from those worn in the early days.

Lin Chen nodded, and Qin Shaoshao went back to change her clothes.

After packing the clothes, Lin Chen surprisingly didn't haggle over the price this time.

He felt that haggling was disrespectful to Su Yu and his group, and the price wouldn't be much higher anyway.

After delivering the barbecue seasoning to Jiang Dadong, the latter said, "It's a good thing you delivered it, otherwise we would have run out of stock and wouldn't have been able to find you."

"I recently went to another city."

“No wonder.” Jiang Dadong said as he handed the money to Lin Chen, “I’ve learned my lesson. If you have time, make some more barbecue seasoning. It doesn’t spoil easily anyway.”

Lin Chen agreed and prepared to go back, but as he turned around, he remembered something and asked:
"Brother Jiang, do you have any monster legs here?"

"A demon beast's leg?" Jiang Dadong nodded and said, "Yes, we have some. A batch just arrived today. Do you want it?"

"What kind of meat?"

"It was a sheep, a ferocious beast, freshly killed by a monster hunter."

"How much is one?" Lin Chen knew this thing was expensive, so he didn't intend to take it for free.

"If you want it, I'll give it to you at cost price, 20,000 yuan apiece." Jiang Dadong was very honest this time.

Lin Chen nodded and returned half of the money he had just received.

After taking the leg, Jiang Dadong even had the cook come over to teach Lin Chen how to cook it.

"Generally, the meat of ferocious beasts contains enormous spiritual energy and is difficult to digest. If you want to cook it, you need to simmer it for more than three hours. If you want to grill it, you can eat the outer skin and meat, but you must never eat the flesh inside. Low-level spirit beasts can hardly withstand it."

The cook, seeing that it was Lin Chen, dared not be negligent.

Thanks to Lin Chen, he now has a bigger workload, but he also earns more money.

Lin Chen thanked him and carried the lamb leg back home.

Then, with a swift motion, the lamb leg was cut open; Lin Chen intended to take it all.

Boil some, and bake some too.

"Red dates, sugarcane, water chestnuts, and goji berries"

Lin Chen told him to prepare the ingredients, and the little fox began to work.

The pot was on fire, and the little fox went to prepare the barbecue, keeping himself very busy.

After three hours of cooking, it's finally done, and the whole house smells delicious.

"You eat first," Lin Chen said, pointing to Xiaobai.

Xiao Bai immediately picked up the bowl with the cow's hoof and took a sip of soup.

"How about it?"

"Moo~~"

It means delicious.

"Let's eat some meat," Lin Chen said with a smile. The mutton soup was white and looked delicious.

By the time he picked up his glass to drink, Xiaobai had already started to devour it.

As for the little fox, perhaps because it had been busy all afternoon and was hungry, it took a sip of soup and then ate some meat. Unexpectedly, the next second, the little fox jumped up, its mouth bulging.

"What's wrong?" Lin Chen asked.

The little fox didn't answer, and rushed straight into the yard.

As soon as I stepped outside, it started breathing fire.

"."

Lin Chen looked at the mutton soup in his hand and wondered if it was really that strong.

When Little White saw Little Red breathing fire, its mouth stretched into a wide grin. Little did it know that the next second it would be its turn.

It felt a surge of primal power coursing through its body, and it started running as soon as it stepped outside, circling the yard again and again.

Lin Chen's lips twitched. He thought to himself that if even Xiao Bai couldn't handle it, he dared not drink any more.

His physique is definitely not as good as that of a spirit beast, and he doesn't know how to release the "primordial power" within him.

Looking back, Qin Shaoshao seemed completely unaffected, eating with great relish.

A master is a master
Lin Chen was envious.

After all, having delicious food in your hands but not being able to eat it is extremely painful for a foodie.

Unexpectedly, Qin Shaoshao said after finishing his meal, "Since people can no longer cultivate, they are not afraid of this spiritual energy, as they can't digest much of it."

Why didn't you say so sooner, senior?

Lin Chen then sat down and began to eat haphazardly.

This little guy is quite something. After running a few laps, he probably got hungry, so he went back to eat a couple of bites and then continued running.

As for the little fox, after breathing fire for ten minutes, it was completely exhausted and refused to eat anymore no matter how Lin Chen tried to persuade it.

"Your level is low now, but it will be better later."

"Goo~~"

Two days later, the city burial began.

When I woke up this morning, the sky was overcast.

Walking along the road, I saw many people dressed in black heading towards the cemetery.

I was already in a bad mood, and then I ran into someone who was completely oblivious to my surroundings.

"Are people who have been dead for who knows how long really worth such a big event?"

He's a hotheaded young man with an arrogant personality who loves to show off.

Lin Chen frowned, while Qin Shao Shao beside him was already filled with murderous intent.

Fortunately, a beast tamer in black robes who happened to be passing by stopped and immediately taught him a lesson, even taking action to suppress him, leaving him with a bruised and swollen face.

Qin Shao Shao then withdrew his murderous intent, and Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief. He was very afraid that Qin Shao Shao would lose control of himself and harm innocent people.

When we arrived at the cemetery, it was already packed with people.

Most of those who come here are ordinary beast tamers, residents of this city, carrying flowers in their hands.

Lin Chen and Qin Shaoshao stood in the distance, while Xiaobai and Xiaohong had black ribbons tied around their heads.
Suddenly, it started to rain.

Lin Chen recalled a line of poetry and said:
"The departed are hidden in the clouds, and will come to see you when the rain falls."

Qin Shaoshao also looked up, and Lin Chen noticed that her eyes were red.

Her comrades-in-arms, her brother, and the person she once loved are buried here.
This is her life.

Soon after, Li Zhen and Tang Xuehai arrived and took the lead in the prayer ceremony.

Tang Xuehai was more talented in literature and was also the vice dean of the Nine Star Academy, so it was natural for him to perform the prayer:
"Today, on behalf of everyone in Nine Star City, I inscribe my name on this monument, hoping to awaken the slumbering subterranean fire."

Tang Xuehai calmly engraved the words "Soul of the Youth Corps" in his hand, then looked at the neatly arranged names in front of him.

Su Yu, Qin Hao.
He lit the candle and said:

"With candlelight as our guide, we pray for the souls of the fallen to rest in peace, and that the living will not fail in their duty to protect the peace of the world."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone bowed their heads and silently mourned.

From the crowd, one of the children shouted:
"Mom, the rain has stopped!"

Lin Chen did not look up, but he could vaguely see a beam of light shining into the cemetery.

Lin Chen knew
The sky has now cleared.
