Zhao Xuanzhen raised an eyebrow. Who? The train killer!
Tang Wulin, you've tricked us!
Chapter 28 Heavenly Battle Young Woman Milk Tea, Gu Yue and Tang Wulin's Strangers, I Bought Mine First (4K)
"It's not surprising that Tang Wulin is in the car..."
Zhao Xuanzhen suddenly realized that solving the case was not his problem!
Pure Train Killer passive skill triggered!
During the holiday at Donghai Academy, Wu Changkong took Tang Wulin to Tiandou City, firstly to pay respects to his lover Long Bing, and secondly to the intermediate spirit-upgrading platform of the Spirit Transmission Tower to help Tang Wulin advance his spirit ring. They happened to be on the same spirit-guided train.
Furthermore, the train conductor is Mo Lan, the daughter of Mo Wu, which makes her extremely alluring to evil soul masters!
All the evil spirit masters were killed. The security team came to deal with the corpses and the mess on the ground. The beautiful and sweet-voiced train attendant went through each carriage to soothe people's hearts.
The Soul Guidance Train was running normally. After the painful lesson of being sandwiched by two people last time, the clever Na'er moved to a window seat and searched for the special delicacies of Tiandou City.
Gu Yue remained seated on the outermost side, diligently studying the Spirit Pagoda. Even upon hearing the names of Tang Wulin and Wu Changkong, she made no attempt to greet them. Zhao Xuanzhen, on the other hand, sat between the black-and-white beauties, enjoying the feeling of being "embraced on both sides."
After a while, Mo Lan walked to the three of them with a soul guidance screen in her hand. She squatted down with her curvaceous figure and said in a gentle voice, "Greetings, three soul masters. Thank you for your bravery and fearlessness in handling this vicious incident of the evil soul master attack."
The Federation commends the three Soul Masters for their righteous act. I'll enter their information; from now on, the three of them will enjoy free rides on the Soul Guidance Train and unlimited boxed lunches!
"Thank you."
The three readily accepted. For evil spirit masters, who were anti-human beings, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to reduce them to ashes, let alone gain something unexpected.
Although given their status and position, they rarely had the opportunity to ride the Soul Guidance Train, and even Na'er wouldn't eat the train's boxed meals, the Federation's gesture of goodwill meant they didn't need to force themselves to refuse.
"Zhao Xuanzhen, Gu Yue, Na'er..."
In the era of the Dragon King Legend, there were already cards similar to ID cards. During the process of entering information, Mo Lan deeply remembered these three names and was filled with gratitude.
The evil spirit master was solely after Mo Wu, the governor of Tian Dou City. With his only daughter, Mo Lan, being held hostage, Mo Wu was bound to be thrown into chaos.
On the Douluo Continent, the status of Soul Masters far surpasses that of ordinary humans. How difficult it is for Mo Wu, an ordinary person, to rise to such a high position. Too many eyes are watching him, and if he makes the wrong choice, his political career will come to an end immediately.
Mo Lan felt grateful to Zhao Xuanzhen and the other two on behalf of herself, her father, and the hundreds of innocent passengers on the Soul Guidance Train.
The journey was smooth, and the Soul Guidance Train arrived safely in Tiandou City. Dusk veiled Tiandou City in a thin mist, and clumps of wild grass rustled in the cracks between the mottled blue bricks of the train platform.
More than 20,000 years ago, Tian Dou City was a famous metropolis on the Douluo Continent, serving as the capital of the Tian Dou Empire and its subsequent split, the Tian Hun Empire.
Tian Dou City enjoys an excellent geographical location, not far from the Star Dou Great Forest, the birthplace of soul beasts, and close to Shrek City, the number one city on the Douluo Continent, making it the core area of the entire continent.
It was already late, but Tiandou City was still brightly lit. After their long journey, the three decided to have dinner first to fill their stomachs, and then find an inn to meditate and rest.
Na'er volunteered to lead the way, having apparently found many restaurants recommended by locals on the Soul website.
In stark contrast to the technologically advanced Shrek City, Tiandou City maintains a retro style, and the three can experience the vicissitudes of 20,000 years of history from the ancient patterns on the buildings along the street.
Gu Yue had only been to Donghai City, while Zhao Xuanzhen and Na'er had only visited Shrek City, which was more than her. Strolling through the ancient and charming Tiandou City, Gu Yue had a unique experience.
"Zhao Xuanzhen, look!"
Na'er suddenly grabbed Zhao Xuanzhen's sleeve and stared intently at a shop on the side of the road.
Tian Dou Young Woman Milk Tea.
This milk tea shop is like an anomaly in the ancient style. Bells hang under the eaves, tinkling in the evening breeze. The exterior walls are painted with cherry blossom gradient paint, making the pink sign of Tian Dou Furen Milk Tea look like it is soaked in honey.
"This restaurant is super popular, let's try it!"
Na'er had planned this all along, pulling Zhao Xuanzhen and Gu Yue into the milk tea shop from either side.
The woman behind the glass counter looked up at the sound. Her purple cheongsam hugged her voluptuous waist, and two of the pearl buttons were loosened intentionally or unintentionally, revealing a dark, intertwined floral tattoo on her collarbone. Her slender fingers, which were wiping the cup, had nails that were a light pinkish-shell color.
"Eh?"
Na'er froze instantly. No joke, how could the boss really be a young woman!
Na'er glanced at Zhao Xuanzhen with her silver eyes without leaving a trace. This guy has a preference for mature women. Na'er had already noticed this and was very puzzled. He spends all his time with the super beautiful Na'er. Who exactly influenced his aesthetic sense?
Zhao Xuanzhen showed no sign of anything amiss, and Na'er breathed a slight sigh of relief. Gu Yue's sudden intrusion into her life had stirred up Na'er's possessiveness at the core of her humanity, and she had inevitably been harboring some ulterior motives lately.
"What would you three like to drink?"
The young woman swayed her hips, her voice as melodious as a nightingale's.
Approaching the display case shrouded in a cool mist, the dazzling array of drinks seemed to have preserved an entire spring. Gu Yue browsed through all the milk tea names and said:
"A passion fruit duo, with ice, no extra sugar."
"no problem!"
The owner was making milk tea on the spot. Gu Yue turned her head and found Na'er looking at her with disdain, as if to say, "How can you be so blind?"
"What are you doing?" Gu Yue subconsciously took a half step back, a hint of doubt appearing in her dark eyes.
Na'er crossed her arms, stood on tiptoe, and looked down at me, saying, "Passion Fruit Duet won't do. It won't get my approval. It has to be the delicious Meimei Puji Peach that's so good you'll want to stomp your feet. That's the ultimate drink at the top of the milk tea evolution chain!"
"Boss, a Muah Peach drink, with ice and coconut jelly, full sugar!"
Gu Yue's pretty face darkened, and veins bulged on her forehead. Who would have thought there was a hierarchy of contempt in the milk tea world!
Zhao Xuanzhen fell into deep thought. They can all drink iced drinks…
Wait, why am I thinking that?
Silently cursing the vile soul, Zhao Xuanzhen ordered a half-sweet grape drink.
Three cups of milk tea are freshly made. Passion fruit duo with floating pulp, fine water droplets condense on the cup wall, and the pink and white gradient layer of peach is particularly tempting. The milk foam on top is sprinkled with stardust-like pink crystal sugar, and the succulent grape looks like a deep purple vortex, with agar crystal balls floating and sinking.
As the three left the bubble tea shop, Na'er sipped her straw into the cup lid, and the moment the milk foam billowed up like a cloud, she inhaled it in a whirlwind!
"Um……"
Na'er smacked her lips, looking disappointed. The peeping peaches hadn't met her expectations, and her gaze quietly shifted to the succulent grapes in Zhao Xuanzhen's hand.
"This drink doesn't taste good, I want your succulent grape drink!"
"No."
"Zhao Xuanzhen, you despise me!"
"hold head high."
"Damn it! I feed you, I let you sleep on my shoulder, and now you won't even drink a sip of your milk tea! How can you, a human, be more cold-blooded than a soul beast!"
Na'er secretly kicked Gu Yue and counted her credits on her fingers.
"...Okay then."
Zhao Xuanzhen handed over the succulent grapes, and Na'er giggled. Instead of taking them with her hands, she stretched her head over and took a big, bold sip through the straw.
After releasing the straw, Na'er licked her canine teeth with the tip of her tongue, the lingering fragrance exploding between her teeth. She said indignantly, "I clearly ordered full sugar, but how come half sugar tastes sweeter and better!"
I'm going to demand an explanation. She had better give me a reasonable one, or I'll unleash a full-blown attack on all the young women in Doucheng!
"Don't embarrass yourself, hurry up and go."
Zhao Xuanzhen grabbed Na'er by the back of the neck and suppressed her fiercely. Gu Yue, who was standing to the side, was in a good mood when she saw this, and a charming smile appeared on her lips.
Three people walked together, amidst the bustling crowds, finding elegance in the noise and tranquility in the stillness.
Na'er had already chosen a restaurant on the Soul Guide Train, and led Zhao Xuanzhen and Gu Yue through the streets and alleys.
A fragrant aroma wafted over, like the fresh scent of a river being roasted over charcoal. The smoke carrying the aroma drifted over the gate, drawing passersby to stop and admire it.
Yuhao Grilled Fish.
"You have a good eye for choice..."
Zhao Xuanzhen squinted. Huo Yuhao ascended to the God Realm in his twenties. Yuhao Grilled Fish had little connection with Huo Yuhao himself. It was the founder who used Huo Yuhao's huge reputation to attract customers. Yuhao Grilled Fish did indeed make a name for itself and set up branches in several major cities.
"Endure the divine skill and revive, my love!" Zhao Xuanzhen ignored all mental attacks, such as the story of the grilled fish.
"Welcome three customers. Our grilled fish is made to order and prepared on the spot."
A waiter wearing a dark blue apron greeted them with a smile, holding a bamboo fishing net in his hand, and guided the three of them to a wall.
The entire wall has been transformed into a three-dimensional water tank, where different kinds of fresh river fish swim. The water droplets splashed by the tails of the live fish fall onto the sensor screen, and the fill light projects shimmering reflections.
Yuhao Grilled Fish truly lives up to its reputation as the most popular restaurant in Tiandou City. Even after mealtimes, many customers are still gathered around the tanks, picking out fish.
Na'er looked at the school of fish and pondered, "Which one should we choose? I'm a little hungry and want to eat a big fish, but the bigger the fish, the bigger the bones."
Gu Yue deduced: "The larger the fish bone, the less fish meat there is."
Zhao Xuanzhen frowned: "The less fish meat there is, the smaller the fish is."
Na'er suddenly realized: "So, in conclusion, the bigger the fish, the smaller the fish... Hiss, that's terrifying to think about!"
The moment the three children began arguing about fish, the waiter's face visibly froze for a moment, and he immediately broke out in a cold sweat!
Just then, through the cover of the water tank, Zhao Xuanzhen's gaze fell upon two figures. The adult man had a cold and stern face, exuding an aura that kept strangers at bay, while the young man was spirited and had a pair of exceptionally vivid black eyes.
After entering Tiandou City from another timeline, Wu Changkong took Tang Wulin to eat Yuhao's grilled fish.
Tang Wulin had excellent eyesight and could also clearly see the three figures picking out fish in Yuhao's grilled fish shop.
"Gu Yue has traveled with them..."
Tang Wulin stared at Gu Yue, who was bickering back and forth with Na'er. This was a side of her that he had never shown before. Gu Yue was like a cold machine at Donghai Academy, but at this moment she had transformed into a living person.
"Gu Yue, your classmate is here. He's looking at you," Zhao Xuanzhen reminded him.
Gu Yue looked up and saw Tang Wulin's burning gaze. Then she turned her head slightly and said to Zhao Xuanzhen, "Could you please put your arm around my shoulder?"
"Ah."
A hand gently rested on her swan-like neck and shoulder, and Gu Yue's delicate body couldn't help but tremble for a moment. She slowly exhaled and silently moved her feet toward Zhao Xuanzhen.
Outside the store, Tang Wulin's jawline tightened, and his expression went blank for a moment.
Witnessing Gu Yue's icy exterior melt away and her growing closeness with Zhao Xuanzhen, Tang Wulin felt somewhat disillusioned. In reality, he and Gu Yue weren't that close; he had never truly possessed her, yet he felt as if he had lost her a thousand times over, like a toy he admired every day had been bought by a stranger.
A sense of relief washed over me for a moment, but turning back felt like my heart was being torn apart.
Wu Changkong sensed Tang Wulin's emotional change and coldly comforted him, "Those two children must be core disciples of the Spirit Pagoda. It's normal for them to be close after Gu Yue joined the Spirit Pagoda."
"I know." Tang Wulin pursed his lips. "Teacher Wu, shall we go to another restaurant? I suddenly don't want to eat grilled fish anymore."
Wu Changkong nodded, and the two turned and left Yuhao Grilled Fish.
Inside the room, Na'er swatted Zhao Xuanzhen's hand away, glared at him, and said resentfully, "You're so bold to touch someone's shoulder! What will you do in the future!"
Na'er broke through her defenses, while Gu Yue was secretly overjoyed. Today was just a small step, but Gu Yue would be crying later!
"I want that silver fish."
Na'er pointed to a fish that was different from others, with a thin silver line growing out of its dark blue dorsal fin.
"That silver one looks special, let's eat it."
However, the customers next to them also took a liking to the silverfish.
As soon as the words were spoken, the two waiters prepared to catch fish. Suddenly, the water surged, a cluster of silver scales flashed wildly, and the silver fish darted through the air, landing precisely in the net next to Zhao Xuanzhen and his companions.
“That person also wants our fish.” Na’er blinked; she knew it was Zhao Xuanzhen who had made the move.
"What I bought first is mine."
Zhao Xuanzhen said calmly.
The customer was a step too slow and missed out on the silverfish. He shrugged and switched to another fish.
This is the normal development. Silverfish are just different in appearance, and their taste is almost no different from that of ordinary fish. Should we kill them just because of one fish?
The grilled fish is served on an iron plate, splattering with oil and golden flecks, covered with amber-colored charred spots, the skin crispy, with peppercorns and perilla fragments scattered like stars.
Gu Yue lightly touched the fish belly, and a crisp cracking sound filled the air with milky white steam, revealing the snow-white, garlic-petal-like flesh. The juices seeping from the flesh glistened and soaked the lotus leaf underneath. She very ladylike picked up a piece of fish with her chopsticks, tasted it, and nodded in approval.
Na'er couldn't wait to put the fattest crescent-shaped piece of fish meat near the gills into her mouth. The tip of her teeth broke through the fish skin with a crisp sound, like biting into a sugar shell, before being submerged by the scalding hot juice. The spiciness of dried tangerine peel and old ginger swirled on her tongue, and a sweet aftertaste climbed up her throat.
“It’s delicious!”
With a gasp, Na'er switched to her food-showing mode, tearing apart the grilled fish like a whirlwind.
Looking at the dark brown stains on her cheeks, Zhao Xuanzhen pushed over a bowl of milky white soup, simmered fish eyes, and floated two delicate lotus pods made of fish paste.
"Zhao Xuanzhen, where should Elder Han's letter be sent?" Na'er asked vaguely.
"Headquarters of the Heavenly Dou City Blacksmith Association"
