Chapter 52: The Farce Caused by Grilled Fish
At that time, Jiang Nannan wanted to kneel down to Tang Ya, but Tang Ya obviously wouldn't let her best friend kneel down to her. After all, would they still be good friends if she did?
To prevent any distance between herself and Jiang Nannan due to the great favor, Tang Ya told others that her healing ability had been given to her by Lin Qinghan.
However, when Jiang Nannan heard about this, her gratitude towards Tang Ya didn't diminish at all. She was also grateful to Lin Qinghan. Luckily, Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya didn't grow distant from each other because of this incident. In fact, their bond grew even stronger, and they became like sisters.
Despite this, Jiang Nannan remained curious about Lin Qinghan, the one who had granted Tang Ya her life-giving power. On one hand, she was thankful, but on the other hand, Tang Ya always referred to herself as Lin Qinghan's girlfriend, even though it hadn't been publicly acknowledged.
Jiang Nannan had also seen Tang Ya's progress over the past year. Before the holiday, Tang Ya had barely reached the average level of their class, far behind Jiang Nannan. However, after that break, Tang Ya's cultivation speed seemed to skyrocket. When she returned, Tang Ya broke through to level 30 in a short time. Now, she was almost level 40, and the power of her martial spirit had greatly increased. She even managed to suppress the twin stars of the outer courtyard.
"Hello, I'm Jiang Nannan. Tang Ya saved my mother before, and I heard her say you gave her the powerful healing ability. I must thank you. If you need anything in the future, just let me know, and I'll do my best to help you!"
Jiang Nannan walked up to Lin Qinghan, then suddenly thanked him with an extremely sincere look in her eyes.
"You mean because I gave Tang Ya the healing ability, and she used it to save your mother, so you're thanking me? Alright, I accept your gratitude."
Lin Qinghan didn't quite know how to respond to Jiang Nannan's sudden thanks. He subconsciously wanted to refuse, but then Tang Ya looked at him pitifully from his arms, so he changed his mind and decided to accept her gratitude.
"Alright, Nan Nan, aren't we here to eat grilled fish? Now that the place is less crowded, we should focus on this junior sister's business."
Tang Ya finally let go of Lin Qinghan's arm, but the first thing she said was about food, which made Lin Qinghan laugh. Tang Ya still loved to eat.
By this time, the last few customers at Huo Yutong's stall had already taken their grilled fish and left. Tang Ya immediately walked up.
"Junior sister, how much is the grilled fish?"
As she got closer, Tang Ya could smell a stronger fragrance and struggled to hold back the saliva that nearly dripped from her mouth. She couldn't tear her eyes away from the grilled fish.
"Hello, senior sister. My grilled fish costs five copper soul coins each."
Huo Yutong continued grilling the fish, though she was curious about why Lin Qinghan was surrounded by two beautiful seniors. Still, she couldn't leave her stall. As Lin Qinghan had mentioned, her business had been affected, and there was no one left at the stall. Fortunately, there were only four grilled fish left, which meant they were about to sell out.
"Okay, Nan Nan and I will each have two, and we'll eat here."
Tang Ya called Jiang Nannan over. Jiang Nannan wanted to mention that the grilled fish was a bit expensive, but as she saw Huo Yutong's thin figure, she couldn't bring herself to bargain.
This junior sister seemed to be just like herself, both struggling in their own ways.
"Alright, two senior sisters, please wait a moment. It'll be ready soon."
Huo Yutong started brushing the last four grilled fish with the final layer of sauce when suddenly, a somewhat arrogant voice interrupted.
"Wait, leave two for me! My girlfriend wants to eat too."
As soon as the voice spoke, a man and a woman walked over, hand in hand, clearly a couple in love.
The boy was tall, with rare black hair in Douluo Continent. He was handsome and wore a fifth-grade school uniform. Though the two newcomers had high appearances, Lin Qinghan and his group were all so striking that they made the couple seem almost ordinary.
"I'll pay a gold soul coin. Junior sister, give me two."
The black-haired senior boy spoke with a slightly dismissive tone and placed a gold soul coin on Huo Yutong's stall.
"Sorry, senior, but my grilled fish is sold out. If you want some, please come tomorrow."
Huo Yutong didn't expect her business to do so well. She regretted not preparing more, but since the last grilled fish had already been sold, she couldn't break her promise and raise the price.
"Humph, defeated general Xu Sanshi, you took things from me. Nannan and I already bought the remaining grilled fish."
Tang Ya naturally couldn't let Xu Sanshi take the grilled fish from her. Taking food from her was only something Lin Qinghan could do!
"Oh, it's you. Ahem, give me some face. Let the junior sister earn a little more."
Xu Sanshi finally took his eyes off his girlfriend. Upon noticing Tang Ya, he was stunned for a moment, but then he tried to fight for the grilled fish.
What his girlfriend wanted, he had to get!
"It's just a defeated general. What face do you have? The junior sister doesn't want to make money off you."
Tang Ya, who hated people taking her food, got angry. Lin Qinghan knew this well. He had experienced it before.
"Still want to fight? I'll accompany you and see if you, a turtle, have improved at all."
With Lin Qinghan by her side, Tang Ya felt a little more reckless, but it was clear they had fought more than once.
"Okay, please stop fighting. I don't want mine anymore. Give it to Xu Sanshi."
Jiang Nannan couldn't bear to see Tang Ya and Xu Sanshi clash, so she stepped forward and offered her portion of grilled fish.
In the end, Xu Sanshi took Jiang Nannan's portion, and the farce between Tang Ya and Xu Sanshi finally ended.
However, Xu Sanshi was still kind. In the end, he left Huo Yutong a gold soul coin, which boosted her income by nearly 50% for the day.
