Douluo: Yun Ming in the Spirit Hall Era

Chapter 43 Yun Ming's Perverse Pleasures

Ning Rongrong felt the food was terrible. The color, aroma, and taste were far inferior to what she ate at home. Moreover, out of the six dishes, two were meat and four were vegetable. While this might be considered good for an ordinary family, it was insufficient for a Soul Master, whose energy consumption was much higher. Ning Rongrong felt it wasn't even half the standard meal allowance for her servants, which worsened her already bad mood.

Yun Ming, on the other hand, felt that the food was too low in energy and not enough to meet his cultivation needs.

Oscar, who was standing next to them, could also see that the two were dissatisfied with the food, and could only say helplessly.

"As you've all seen, the college really doesn't have any money left for food. If you want to eat well, you'll have to go to Soto City and pay for it yourself."

Yun Ming sighed inwardly, realizing that given Shrek Academy's apparent economic situation, how could they possibly have such a high level of investment in food?

Moreover, it was already getting late, and Yun Ming didn't want to make another trip to Soto City. So he had Oscar take him to the canteen kitchen and asked the villagers who were helping with the cooking to add a few dishes. As for the ingredients, they were naturally the reserve soul beast meat from Yun Ming's Phoenix Cry Ring.

As Oscar left the cafeteria, the way he looked at Yun Ming changed; it was the look he gave Yun Ming when he saw his sugar daddy.

The ingredients and raw materials that Yunming just took out would fetch several hundred gold soul coins if sold directly at the market.

Seeing Yun Ming go to the kitchen to add more dishes, Ma Hongjun and the others naturally weren't in a hurry to eat.

Half an hour later

Ma Hongjun swallowed hard as he recited the names of the dishes.

"Jade Parrot Wings, Rhinoceros Ham, Pearl Arowana Soup, Four Souls Dumplings"

Normally, Ma Hongjun spends a lot of money on frivolous things, so even though he's a foodie, he never has enough money to eat good food. But today, seeing several fancy dishes all at once, his mouth was practically watering.

Seeing that there were many people today, Yun Ming specially brought out more soul beast meat.

Although Yunming had a bad first impression of the other four people because of the Oscar incident, he had originally planned to treat Oscar to a meal anyway, so it didn't matter if he invited a few more people.

Yun Ming wasn't that petty, nor could he afford to lose face like that.

Seeing that several dishes had already been served, Yun Ming casually greeted them.

"Let's eat first, and we can eat the rest while we wait!"

When Yun Ming invited everyone to start eating, everyone except Oscar wanted to eat but was too embarrassed to do so. In the end, Oscar saw that Yun Ming had tacitly agreed that everyone else could eat, and he also saw that Ma Hongjun was drooling with desire. After all, they were friends for many years, so Oscar said to Ma Hongjun.

"Fatty, eat up!"

Ma Hongjun glanced at Oscar with a touch of emotion, then looked at Yun Ming, who was eating slowly and indifferently, and said in a low voice.

"Thanks!"

Then he quickly started eating; he had been holding back for a long time.

When Tang San and Xiao Wu saw Ma Hongjun start eating, Yun Ming didn't say anything and silently started eating as well. Tang San even said, "Thank you, Brother Yun," and Xiao Wu glared at Yun Ming again.

In the end, only Ning Rongrong didn't touch the dishes Yun Mingjia added. How could the young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School eat food offered with contempt?

Ma Hongjun and Xiao Wu were simply craving it, but what Tang San was thinking was anyone's guess.

After a few bites of food, Xiao Wu and Tang San felt their lives were filled with happiness. They could never afford such food on a normal day. Oscar and Ma Hongjun were a little better off, occasionally able to go out and have a meal with Dai Mubai, the fallen prince.

But our great Tang God King had never even seen these things before. Before the age of six, Tang God King probably hadn't even seen vegetables a few times, let alone meat. It wasn't until he became a Soul Master and was able to receive subsidies that he finally brought his standard of living up to the average level of the continent.

Before Wu Taijun transformed into human form, she probably ate raw food. After entering Notting Soul Master Academy, although her life was a little better than Tang San's, it wasn't much better!

The meal quickly came to an end. Yun Ming used his soul power to force the sound into a line, allowing Oscar to send Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong away.

Oscar was taken aback when he heard the telepathic message, but he understood immediately and spoke to Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong.

"We've eaten enough, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, I'll take you home first!"

After the two girls finished eating, they followed Oscar to their dormitory. Inside the cafeteria, only Yun Ming and Tang San remained.

As for Ma Hongjun, because the meal was too nourishing and he couldn't withstand the impending side effects of his martial spirit, he went to find his girlfriend.

Seeing that everyone else had left, Yun Ming began chatting with Tang San. Of course, it was a casual chat with a purpose.

"Tang San, where are you from?"

Although Tang San was somewhat surprised that Yun Ming took the initiative to speak, since Yun Ming had just treated him to a meal, and there was nothing wrong with chatting for a bit, he started talking to Yun Ming.

"I am from Notting City on the border of Tiandou."

Seeing that things were promising, Yunming continued to ask questions.

"Since you're from Notting City, why are you here at Shrek Academy? Even if you wanted to pursue a better academy, your family should have sent you to Heaven Dou City, not Soto City!"

Tang San responded calmly.

"My coming to Shrek Academy was arranged by my teacher. As for my family..."

"My father disappeared five years ago, and I have never met my mother."

At this point, Tang San's mood turned somewhat sad.

Although the Tang God King in the original timeline wasn't very good to his children—his only daughter had a split soul, and his only son was sent to Douluo Continent to work hard and plan for a ten-thousand-year future—he was undeniably good to his parents.

When Yun Ming heard that Tang Hao had only left Tang San five years ago, his hands clenched into fists under the table, his head lowered, and his medium-length hair covered the complex expression on Yun Ming's face, which was a mixture of joy, resentment, and other emotions.

However, Yun Ming then remembered Tang San's twin martial souls from his memories, and thought that Tang Hao might be protecting Tang San right now. He quickly calmed himself down and composed himself.

Seeing Yun Ming bow his head and remain silent, Tang San assumed he felt guilty for bringing up his painful past and offered words of comfort.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

"It's alright, Brother Yun, there's no need to feel guilty."

"I've gotten used to it, and I believe I'll see my dad again someday."

Upon hearing Tang San's words, Yun Ming realized he had misunderstood. However, this was also convenient, as Yun Ming needed a suitable reason to explain his earlier unusual behavior.

Yun Ming raised his head and offered his heartfelt wishes.

"I also hope you and your father can meet soon..."

"Then, I can follow the clues and find him!!! And then..." Yun Ming silently recited the second half of the sentence in his heart.

Seeing Yun Ming's sincere blessing, Tang San also said something.

"Thanks!"

After saying that, Yun Ming got up and walked towards the kitchen door.

Just as Tang San was pondering the true meaning behind Yun Ming's sudden conversation, he suddenly heard Yun Ming's voice from behind him.

"then!"

Upon hearing Yun Ming's words, Tang San used his Crane Control Dragon-Capturing Technique to catch the object Yun Ming threw at him. Looking at the golden-brown roasted rabbit leg in his hand and smelling its enticing aroma, Tang San asked...

"This is?"

Yun Ming's lips curled into a smirk, and he smiled at Tang San like a devil, trying to entice him.

"Charcoal-grilled soft-boned rabbit leg, my favorite after eating so many kinds of soul beast meat, its taste is absolutely divine!"

As he spoke, Yun Ming even used the "Mental Suggestion Secret Technique." As for where this technique came from, it was naturally learned from Yun Ming's memories in his previous life. Shrek Academy, as a power that has produced a mental power master like Huo Yuhao, is not surprising to have such a secret technique.

As for why he gave her the rabbit leg, it was all because of Yun Ming's wicked sense of humor! Yun Ming wanted to disgust the outspoken Xiao Wu, but he couldn't go too far, so he helped Tang San develop a habit of eating soft-boned rabbit meat. It was simple and efficient.

This was specially pickled by Yun Ming's family cook. Yun Ming can't go home now, and every one he eats is one less he has. Yun Ming has really gone to great lengths to disgust Xiao Wu.

What Yun Ming didn't know was that Xiao Wu really was a Soft Bone Rabbit! The Secret Chronicles of the Sea God, written 20,000 years later, only recorded some major events, but not the bizarre events of the Sea God Tang San's mother and wife being soul beasts!

This is understandable. In a world where humans and spirit beasts are absolutely opposed, if news were to spread that a Sea God's relative is a spirit beast, it would be devastating to the Sea God's prestige and the reputation of Shrek Academy, Tang Sect, and other forces related to the Sea God Tang San. Neither Tang San himself nor any subsequent Sea God Pavilion Master would allow such news to spread! And the best way to prevent it from spreading is to destroy all traces!
