Chapter 15 The Attentive Tang San
"Okay!"
"I, Xiao Wu, always keep my word!"
Xiao Wu pouted, but still nodded decisively: "However... your Blue Silver Grass is really amazing."
She couldn't help but glance again at the Blue Silver Grass vines that covered the dormitory floor and walls, still feeling lingering fear.
"I'm serious."
Tang San took two steps closer to Xiao Wu, emphasizing each word clearly: "When it comes to my brother's affairs, there's absolutely no room for discussion!"
"If anyone causes trouble for my brother, remember to go to Li's Blacksmith Shop in the west of the city..."
"Okay, okay!"
"You're so long-winded!"
Before Tang San could finish speaking, Xiao Wu impatiently interrupted him, lightly skipping over to Tang Chuan, her eyes fixed on the Blue Silver Grass in Tang Chuan's hand.
"Tang Chuan, the fight's over."
"Even though I lost to your brother, I still want to taste your Blue Silver Grass and see just how delicious it is!"
Xiao Wu brought her nose close and sniffed, the refreshing scent of grass making her swallow hard.
Tang Chuan smiled and handed over the Blue Silver Grass in his hand: "Here you go."
"Hehe, you're so nice!"
Xiao Wu eagerly took it. It was slightly cool to the touch, with thick leaves and golden lines between the veins that shimmered with a delicate luster.
"Crackling sound."
Xiao Wu disregarded her image and took a small bite of the leaf tip.
The sweet juice burst on the tongue, without the astringency of wild Blue Silver Grass, but instead carried a faint herbal fragrance, and left a slightly sweet aftertaste as it slid down the throat.
"Ugh!!!"
"So delicious!"
"It tastes a hundred times better than the Blue Silver Grass I used to eat!"
Xiao Wu's eyes lit up immediately, and in no time she stuffed the whole Blue Silver Grass into her mouth, chewing it until her cheeks were bulging.
"It tastes almost as good as my favorite Jade Core Radish!"
"Tang Chuan, you're amazing!"
Her eyes shone as she looked at Tang Chuan, as if she had discovered some priceless treasure.
Wang Sheng and several other work-study students stood by, dumbfounded.
They were just wondering how outrageous Tang Chuan's thousand-year spirit ring was, when they were suddenly overwhelmed by Tang San's Blue Silver Grass. Before Tang San and Xiao Wu could even be shocked after their fight, they saw Xiao Wu eating Blue Silver Grass.
And she was eating so heartily!
Their eyes darted between Xiao Wu, Tang Chuan, and Tang San, unable to contain their curiosity, but they dared not ask for anything.
They only dared to watch from afar, not even daring to breathe loudly.
They were truly stunned by Tang San's Blue Silver Grass Domain technique.
Tang San ignored the interaction between Xiao Wu and his brother, bent down to pick up the package on the ground, and walked to an empty bed on the inner side.
The bed was next to the window.
The place had good lighting and was away from the noise near the entrance; it was the spot he had chosen for his brother as soon as he came in.
First, he wiped the dust off the bed board.
He took out a straw mat from the bundle and flattened it, then took out the quilt and carefully smoothed it out, smoothing out even the edges and corners without a single wrinkle, before laying it out carefully on Tang Chuan's wooden bed.
He folded the quilt neatly and placed it at the head of the bed.
He even touched the pillow to make sure the cotton inside wasn't clumped together, and then brushed away the dust under the bed.
After finishing all this, Tang San turned to Tang Chuan and said, "Brother, the bed is ready."
"I'll head back to the blacksmith's shop now."
"Be careful in the academy. If anything happens, have Xiao Wu or Wang Sheng come to me."
"I'll come see you once I've saved enough money."
Tang Chuan walked over and looked at the neatly made bed, feeling a warmth in his heart. He patted his younger brother's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I can take care of myself."
"Don't work too hard at blacksmithing, remember to rest."
"Uh-huh."
Tang San nodded, gave a couple more reminders to eat on time, and then turned and walked towards the door.
As he passed by Xiao Wu, he stopped and glanced at her again, his eyes full of warning, as if to say, "Don't mess with my brother."
Xiao Wu stuck out her tongue and didn't argue with him.
After all, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass had indeed caused her a loss, and Tang Chuan's thousand-year spirit ring also made her dare not treat Tang Chuan as casually as she had treated Wang Sheng before.
Once Tang San's figure disappeared through the doorway, the atmosphere in the dormitory immediately relaxed considerably.
It was mainly his formidable fighting prowess and extraordinary protectiveness towards his brother that inspired awe.
Wang Sheng hesitated for a moment.
He stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Tang Chuan: "Brother Tang, if there's anything you need from Dormitory Seven in the future, just give the order, and we'll do our best!"
The other work-study students quickly nodded in agreement.
It wasn't just about Tang San's combat power, but more about Tang Chuan's status as the number one spirit ring in a thousand years.
A food-type Spirit Master with the first Spirit Ring in a thousand years is probably unique in the entire Heaven Dou Empire. How could they not be in awe of him?
Tang Chuan waved his hand: "We're all classmates, no need to be so polite."
His tone was calm and unpretentious, which made Wang Sheng and the others feel even closer to him and dare not be negligent.
"Brother Tang..."
Seeing that Tang Chuan was gentle and easy to talk to, Wang Sheng mustered his courage and spoke respectfully, "Your thousand-year-old spirit ring... is truly amazing!"
"How did you do that?"
Despite the impertinence, as a commoner's child, he didn't want to miss any opportunity to acquire knowledge of Spirit Masters.
The other teenagers nodded in agreement, their eyes filled with curiosity and admiration.
In the world of Spirit Masters, strength reigns supreme.
Tang Chuan's first spirit ring is a thousand years old, which has already impressed them.
"It was just a coincidence."
Tang Chuan glossed over it with a single sentence, without providing any detailed explanation.
After Xiao Wu finished chewing the last bite of Blue Silver Grass, she leaned closer, tugged at Tang Chuan's sleeve, and asked expectantly, "Tang Chuan, Tang Chuan, can you conjure up some more Blue Silver Grass?"
"I want to eat more!"
She had just eaten one and felt she wanted more; the sweet taste left a lingering aftertaste.
"OK."
Tang Chuan smiled slightly, his gaze sweeping over the group of work-study students in Dormitory Seven who were both awed and curious, as well as Xiao Wu, whose eyes were sparkling as she stared at him.
He took a step forward.
The first purple spirit ring beneath his feet lit up, and a faint fluctuation of spirit power spread throughout the dormitory.
Tang Chuan smiled and said, "It's fate that we met in Dormitory Seven today. I'll treat you all to something to eat as a greeting gift."
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his right hand, palm facing up.
"First Spirit Skill, Blue Silver Weaves a Hundred Flavors!"
As the spirit incantation was uttered, Tang Chuan's mind stirred slightly, and the "Ingredients Compendium" in his Spiritual Sea rapidly flipped through the pages, selecting several dishes suitable for sharing.
The golden threads in the thousand-year spirit ring flowed rapidly along the veins of the Blue Silver Grass.
The rustling sound was incessant.
The vines intertwined, and the fine grass strands unfurled under the stimulation of spirit power, weaving into a blue-gold grass net half a person's height, which hung steadily in mid-air.
All that could be seen was the Blue Silver Grass web.
The Blue Silver Grass intertwined and coalesced, transforming into a golden-red, glistening roasted beast leg, its skin crispy and sizzling with oil.
Immediately afterwards.
They then wove together distinct textures into pieces of grilled meat, their surfaces glistening with an enticing caramel color and emitting a unique woody aroma.
Nearby, several clumps of Blue Silver Grass bore crystal-clear fruits.
Some were as dazzling as rubies, while others had a warm, jade-like luster. Their fruity aroma was sweet and refreshing, making one's mouth water.
