Douluo Continent: Gourmet Prisoner

As Shi Yu awoke from his pain, he looked at the two laughing incessantly and realized something.

I will not keep this "glory" to myself!

No sooner said than done, Shi Yu swiftly tore two pieces of licorice twisted candy from the python's body and precisely stuffed them into the mouths of the two people who were laughing so hard they were clutching their stomachs.

Zhu Lu and Huo Yutong's expressions changed drastically, their laughter stopped abruptly, and they instinctively tried to spit out the licorice twisted candies in their mouths.

But as soon as they opened their mouths, they discovered that the candy had an almost eerie stickiness, like countless fine, thread-like strands of sugar wrapped around their teeth and tongue.

No matter how much they spat or tried to push the candy away with their tongues, the two pieces of twisted candy remained unmoved. Instead, they melted away with their movements, releasing a bittersweet taste that trickled down their throats and into their esophagus.

The next second, a familiar pain swept over the two of them like a tidal wave.

Zhu Lu's face instantly crumpled up, her once bright eyes welled up with tears, she squatted on the ground clutching her stomach, her body twisting uncontrollably, and suppressed sobs escaping her throat.

Huo Yutong wasn't in much better shape. She slumped down in the grass, her slender fingers digging into the ground until her knuckles turned white. The bittersweet taste raged in her mouth, making her tears stream down her face, and she didn't even have the strength to curse.

They could only writhe painfully on the ground together with Zhu Lu, looking exactly like two mudfish that had just been thrown ashore.

Meanwhile, our instigator, Shi Yu, patted the sugar crumbs off his hands, stood aside, and curled up a "kind" smile.

He looked down at the still slightly wriggling remains of the licorice twisted candy python, seriously considering in his mind: I can't waste the ingredients, I have to eat it, but I didn't say who I was going to give it to, did I?

This kind of ingredient, which is both painful and addictive, should be enjoyed by everyone.

Shi Yu touched his chin and suddenly remembered what Xiao Ya and Nan Nan had said in their casual conversation yesterday—Shrek Academy seems to have established a new food department.

Shi Yu's eyes lit up.

They would surely love this rare licorice twisted python that can instantly give people a taste of both pain and pleasure.

Of course, the pain belongs to others, while the joy belongs to Shi Yu.

Sharing is worse than enjoying alone. When we enroll in school later, we'll cut the remaining twisted candy python into small pieces and share them with all the living creatures at Shrek Academy, so everyone can experience this sweet gift.

Shi Yu silently repeated to himself: I will not keep this "glory" to myself!

Let us observe three minutes of silence for Shrek Academy's Culinary Department.

Then, everyone start laughing!

Having resolved the important matter of sharing, Shi Yu finally turned his attention back to himself.

He smacked his lips, the lingering bittersweet taste still bothering him, like countless tiny insects crawling on his taste buds, really affecting his mood for finding food.

We need to find some other sugar to mask this flavor.

Shi Yu stood up and looked around. This forest, nourished by soul power, was full of strange and wonderful food-type soul beasts; perhaps he could find one that suited his taste. His gaze swept across the grass, over the treetops, and finally settled on a clearing not far away—where a cow stood.

A cow whose entire body is made of milky white sugar.

The cow's limbs are like thick candy sticks, its body is like fluffy candy blocks, and even its horns are two spiral-shaped nougat candies.

Sunlight shines on it, giving the candy a warm, lustrous sheen. You can vaguely see the bits of nuts and dried fruit embedded inside. A rich aroma of milk mixed with the scent of nuts wafts over on the breeze.

Shi Yu's eyes widened instantly.

There are no cows in nougat, but this spirit beast in front of you is actually a cow made of nougat!

This is like a pillow delivered just when you're sleepy!

Shi Yu could no longer restrain himself. His soul power surged beneath his feet, and he pounced forward like a hungry tiger.

His movements were as fast as lightning. Before the nougat cow could react, Shi Yu chopped it in the neck with a hand chop.

Unlike ordinary soul beasts whose flesh and blood fly everywhere, this nougat cow has a crack in its neck, revealing the sugar core inside, which smells warm and sweet.

Before it could even utter a mournful cry, it trembled and froze on the spot—it had left this world without pain, completely transformed into an edible nougat cow.

The cold cow turned into warm nougat.

Shi Yu couldn't wait to reach out and tear off one of the ears of the nougat cow.

The texture of this cow ear looks exceptionally fluffy, as if it were made by mixing and pressing a mixture of marshmallows and milk powder.

Shi Yu put it in her mouth and bit down. As soon as her teeth touched the candy, she felt a soft sweetness instantly melt in her mouth.

The marshmallow melts in your mouth with a cloud-like lightness, followed by the rich aroma of milk powder and the hidden almond pieces. With a crunchy bite, the crisp texture and soft candy intertwine, creating a rich and layered flavor that makes your eyes squint.

The lingering bitterness of licorice in my mouth was instantly overwhelmed by this sweet aroma.

Shi Yu sighed with satisfaction, then reached out and aimed at one of the hind legs of the nougat cow.

The texture of this cow leg is completely different from that of the cow ear; it looks much firmer and has a faint sheen on the surface, making it a typical traditional boiled sugar nougat.

Shi Yu forcefully tore off a large piece and stuffed it into his mouth to chew.

The candy has just the right amount of chewiness, doesn't stick to your teeth, and becomes more fragrant the more you chew it. The fluffy texture brought by the whipped egg white spreads between your teeth, mixed with the sweetness of the syrup, as well as the crushed peanuts and walnuts hidden inside. Every bite is a perfect blend of crunch and smoothness, and the rich milky aroma lingers in your mouth for a long time, making it simply irresistible.

He was enjoying his meal immensely, completely unaware that Zhu Lu and Huo Yutong had struggled to lift their heads from the nearby bushes, watching him feast with eyes filled with grief and despair.

They can't do anything.

To be precise, they couldn't do anything until they finished the licorice twisted candy.

Perhaps they can do more than nothing; at least they can wriggle like maggots.

Of course, they do the same thing now.

Once we get there, once we get there!

But reality often doesn't go as they wish; they only crawl a short distance before they burn out.

After Shi Yu got rid of the strange taste in his mouth, he also discovered the two people suffering after the fire had burned out.

His first reaction was not to offer the two of them nougat.

Instead, he leaped towards them amidst their longing gazes.

Shi Yu landed on all fours with a smile on his face.

"I've always wanted to see that look on your faces, that jealous look on your faces, hahahahaha."

Zhu Lu and Huo Yutong, both in agony, exchanged a glance, and their already intense pain intensified.
