Douluo Continent: The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda? A Soul Beast Pagoda!

Chapter 42 Hey! Kid, stop right there!

They then finished their meal in silence.

Jiang Bai called the waiter to settle the bill. Then he got up, went downstairs, and left the restaurant.

Jiang Bai did not linger in Nottingham.

He left the city along the same route he had come by.

Several miles outside the city, he found a secluded clearing in the woods and summoned the wind dragon.

"Let's go, fly north."

The wind dragon spread its azure wings and carried him into the sky.

Nottingham City shrank rapidly beneath my feet, eventually becoming a blurry gray dot on the horizon.

Jiang Bai glanced back in that direction, his eyes calm and unwavering.

Two and a half hours later.

Outside the east gate of Nottingham, a young girl wearing a white veil walked along the official road.

She looked to be about twelve or thirteen years old, tall and slender, wearing a well-tailored white outfit with silver trim on the collar and cuffs.

Her blonde hair was tied into a neat high ponytail at the back of her head, swaying gently with her steps.

The veil covered most of her face, revealing only a pair of alluring red eyes.

The girl stood outside the city gate, looking up at the not-so-tall city wall, a hint of curiosity and excitement flashing in her heterochromatic eyes.

Then, she took a deep breath and stepped into Nottingham.

This was the first time she had stepped into a human city in human form.

Everything was so new and so vibrant.

Jiang Li'er slowed down and wandered aimlessly down the street.

But soon, she frowned.

She closed her eyes and sensed it carefully.

"They've left—" she murmured to herself, a hint of disappointment in her voice.

Jiang Li'er pouted, but quickly cheered up. Since she was here, she might as well explore this human city.

As she walked, she stopped in front of a stall selling sugar figurines.

The stall owner was an old man in his fifties, holding a small copper spoon and drawing sugar figures on a smooth marble slab.

Golden syrup slowly flowed from the spoon, and with the old man's skillful movements, it quickly outlined a lifelike bird.

Jiang Li'er was completely absorbed in watching.

"Miss, what kind of sugar figurine would you like?" The old man finished drawing one, looked up and saw Jiang Li'er standing in front of his stall. His eyes lit up and he greeted her warmly.

Jiang Li'er snapped out of her reverie, thought for a moment, and pointed to a dragon-shaped sugar figurine sample displayed on the stall: "Draw me a dragon shape! A really majestic one!"

"Alright! Please wait a moment!" the old man replied with a smile, scooped up another spoonful of syrup, and began to draw on the board.

His movements were very practiced.

The syrup flowed, outlined, and piled up, and soon, a ferocious and majestic sugar dragon appeared on the stone slab.

The old man gently scooped up the sugar dragon with a small shovel, stuck it onto a thin bamboo skewer, and handed it to Jiang Li'er.

"Miss, your Sugar Dragon, five copper soul coins!"

Jiang Li'er took the sugar dragon and looked at the crystal-clear artwork that sparkled in the sunlight with delight.

She took out a gold soul coin from the storage soul tool at her waist and casually put it into the cash register on the stall.

"I don't have any copper soul coins, keep the change."

The old man was stunned.

One Gold Soul Coin!

"This—this is too much! Miss, I—"

The old man wanted to say something, but Jiang Li'er had already turned and left with the sugar dragon, taking off her veil as she went and carefully licking the sugar dragon's tail.

"Ugh————"

The sweetness melts on the tongue, carrying the unique caramel aroma of maltose.

Jiang Li'er narrowed her eyes and revealed a satisfied smile.

It tastes pretty good!

Human food is actually quite delicious.

She ate the sugar dragon in small bites as she continued her aimless stroll.

Just then, a little boy who looked only six or seven years old walked out from the street corner ahead.

The child was short, wearing a blue school uniform, and walking hurriedly with his head down, seemingly troubled by something.

Jiang Li'er wouldn't have cared about such an ordinary human child.

But for some reason, when her gaze fell on the child, a strange feeling of disgust suddenly welled up in her heart.

I even had a faint urge to punch him.

The feeling came without reason, yet it was so intense. It was like the instinctive alertness of an animal encountering a predator, or perhaps some kind of warning from fate.

Jiang Li'er stopped in her tracks, her eyes fixed on the little boy who was getting closer and closer.

This person is none other than Tang San.

Although the fire in Yu Xiaogang's office was extinguished in time, Yu Xiaogang suffered severe burns to many parts of his body.

The healing teacher at Notting Academy only had a second-ring cultivation level, so his soul skills had limited effects; they could only temporarily relieve the pain and could not provide a quick cure.

As Yu Xiaogang's disciple, Tang San naturally couldn't sit idly by.

In his previous life, he was a disciple of the Tang Clan, and he was not only proficient in poisons but also had considerable knowledge of pharmacology.

So he went to a pharmacy in the city and got some herbal medicine for treating burns, intending to boil it and apply it to his teacher.

As he was walking, he suddenly felt a gaze fixed firmly on him.

Tang San subconsciously looked up and saw a blonde girl with heterochromatic eyes standing a few steps ahead.

The girl was very beautiful, the most beautiful girl he had ever seen in both his lives, but the way she looked at him was very unfriendly.

"Hey! Kid, stop right there!"

A clear and pleasant voice rang out, carrying a hint of command.

Tang San paused for a moment, looked around to make sure there were no other "children" nearby, then pointed uncertainly to himself: "—Me?"

Jiang Li'er nodded, pointing at him with her right hand, holding the bare bamboo skewer she'd eaten: "It's you!"

"Miss, is there anything I can help you with?" Tang San frowned. He was in a hurry to get back and brew medicine for his teacher, and didn't want any unnecessary trouble.

Jiang Li'er tilted her head, a sly glint in her crimson eyes: "Nothing, I just wanted to beat you up!"

"Varied----"

Before she finished speaking, Jiang Li'er had already moved!

She's incredibly fast!

Although she was still three or four steps away, in the blink of an eye, she appeared in front of Tang San!

That fair, slender, and seemingly harmless fist slammed straight toward Tang San's face!

Tang San's pupils suddenly contracted!

In a flash, his body instinctively leaned back, and at the same time he raised his hands to try to block.

But Jiang Li'er was too fast! So fast that he couldn't keep up at all!

"Bang!"

A solid punch landed squarely on Tang San's left cheek!

The immense force of the impact caused him to stagger back two steps, seeing stars and hearing a ringing in his ears.

Before he could even regain his footing, a second, a third, and a fourth punch came one after another!

"Bang! Bang!"

Several more muffled thuds followed.

Tang San was completely dumbfounded.

He barely opened his eyes and saw the girl's beautiful face, so close to his, that seemed to say, "I just want to punch you."

Then, as he reacted and used Ghostly Shadow to create distance, preparing to counterattack, Jiang Li'er had already stopped, turned around, and ran away quickly like a startled rabbit.

The entire process, from throwing a punch to running away, took only a few breaths.

Several passersby on the street were stunned. By the time they reacted, Jiang Li'er had already disappeared around the street corner.

Tang San stood there, his left cheek swollen, his right cheek burning with pain, and his chin so sore that he couldn't open his mouth.

He touched his cheek blankly, then looked at the empty street corner, and his anger suddenly surged up!

"Damn it!" He was furious, his eyes bloodshot, panting heavily, his voice slurred from his swollen cheeks. "To do this in broad daylight—it's utterly unreasonable!"
