181: Tang Wulin's Revenge

"Hmm, the pectoral muscles seem okay, plump. The other places are lacking, though. On these arms, there isn't a shred of muscle. Really..."

The touch was smooth and greasy, a faint, lingering fragrance wafting into his nose. Although it was an accident, it still left an impact on Shen Guyan's heart.

A gust of strong wind assaulted him...

A slap was violently whipped toward Shen Guyan's face. Fortunately, Shen Guyan performed a rapid spin in mid-air, narrowly avoiding the slap. However, Shen Guyan's cultivation in mid-air left him with absolutely no leverage.

He instantly lost his center of gravity and, as luck would have it, ended up pressing right down onto her delicate body, which was clad only in thin undergarments.

Subconsciously opening his eyes, Shen Guyan saw a pair of eyes that were practically spitting fire. Those azure-blue eyes were shooting out extremely furious flames, as if they wanted to burn him to ashes.

Lan Fozi had somehow transformed into a female visage, stunningly beautiful beyond compare. Shen Guyan, however, could clearly feel that what he was pressing beneath him was a supple, delicate body, especially in the area that should have been bound by a chest wrap, which felt extremely oppressive.

"Don't misunderstand, I just wanted to find Nalali..." Shen Guyan grabbed Lan Fozi's hands as she prepared to attack again, pinning her to the ground.

But this action only made the contact between their bodies even closer.

"Bastard, let me go!" A strong sense of humiliation washed over her entire body. Lan Fozi was so furious she was nearly driven mad, her body trembling uncontrollably, completely forgetting that her cultivation was far superior to his.

"Really, I already have Nalali in my heart, how could I possibly take advantage of the situation?" Shen Guyan wore a look of righteous indignation, making himself appear every bit the perfect gentleman.

Lan Fozi's chest heaved, her teeth biting her lower lip. After a full half-moment, she finally whispered angrily, "Aren't you going to get up yet?"

Shen Guyan finally released her hands, sprang up quickly, and then turned around.

Lan Fozi didn't say a word; Shen Guyan could only hear the rustling sounds coming from behind him.

Nalali was not here; she must have gone out to handle some business, leaving only Lan Fozi alone in the room.

"Alright." Lan Fozi's somewhat cold voice sounded from behind Shen Guyan.

Shen Guyan turned back around, only to see that she had already transformed back into her previous male appearance. She looked no different, and no female features could be seen. When it came to the art of makeup and disguise, she was not a bit inferior to Shen Guyan.

At this moment, her gaze toward Shen Guyan was somewhat complex, and her breathing was a bit more rapid than before.

"I'm warning you, you are not allowed to tell anyone about what you discovered, and you are even less allowed to interfere with my outing to relax. Otherwise, I will kill you!"

"Alright, alright, alright, I understand." Shen Guyan's heart stirred. The other party did not seem as vicious and evil as the other Evil Soul Masters in the Holy Spirit Cult. If this had been any other Evil Soul Master, he would have long since been ground to dust.

As for Nalali and Leng Yulai, that was naturally the credit of the azure dragon mask.

Since Nalali wasn't there, Shen Guyan had no choice but to return to his own room.

An afternoon's time passed quickly...

The Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition had made the entire Tianhai City even more prosperous. Not only did the people of Tianhai City enjoy watching the competition, but tourists from other cities across the entire East Sea economic circle had also come to watch.

By evening, Tianhai City became exceptionally lively, especially in places with good food and wine.

"What are you two doing?" Shen Guyan, accompanied by The Five Little Ones, passed by a street-side restaurant and saw Tang Wulin and Xu Lizhi gorging themselves.

Tang Wulin explained with a smile that in the afternoon, he had received a soul guidance communication from Xu Lizhi, inviting him out to eat, and Tang Wulin had gladly accepted.

As it turned out, when he met this guy, he looked all sneaky; it was obvious he had snuck out.

"Mmm, mmm. This tofu fish is so delicious. It's delicate, soft, and smooth, and smells so fragrant. It's too tasty. Tang Wulin, you really know how to eat." While eating, the little Fatty Xu Lizhi praised between bites.

Although Tang Wulin was not from Tianhai City, the seafood in Tianhai City was no different from that in East Sea City, and he had grown up by the sea. How could he not know what was delicious?

"Eh, why aren't you eating?" Shen Guyan asked, looking at Tang Wulin. He had a particularly deep impression of this guy's appetite.

Tang Wulin smiled slightly and said, "If I eat, there won't be any left for him."

Shen Guyan smiled, "The ingredients at this shop shouldn't be very expensive, let's eat together?"

Xu Lizhi said, "Yeah, yeah! Eating together is the only way to have fun. You lead the way, I'm treating. Anyway, you're not from Tianhai City, so it doesn't count as playing the host, right?"

Tang Wulin laughed, "You really want me to eat? Are you sure you want to treat? I can eat a lot, you know."

Xu Lizhi waved his hand grandly, "How much can a meal cost? Come on, let's eat together. We'll eat until we're satisfied."

"Alright! Boss. Bring us a salt-baked bluefin tuna." Tang Wulin summoned the boss directly and began ordering.

The boss hesitated for a moment and said, "Are there others joining you?"

Tang Wulin shook his head.

The boss said, "Do you know how big a bluefin tuna is?"

Tang Wulin said, "Of course I know. I want one over a hundred catties. Hurry and go prepare it; it takes a long time to bake. First, bring fifty rose sea urchins, then two baked fish heads, and then..." He reeled off a huge list of food.

Xu Lizhi didn't mind at all and clapped in approval.

And next, the entire restaurant began to fall into the rhythm of Tang Wulin and Xu Lizhi.

Xu Lizhi didn't eat as fast as Tang Wulin, but this guy's strength lay in his ability to keep eating. After all, they were both youths; with a youthful mindset, seeing the other person eat with such relish made their own appetites grow, and there was also a bit of competitive spirit.

As plate after plate of delicious seafood was served, the two began to gorge themselves with gusto.

Tang Wulin's reputation as a foodie had only shaken East Sea City; this was his first time revealing it in Tianhai City.

In just a short while, their own table and the tables next to them were already piled high with various seafood shells and plates.

"You're amazing! This is the first time I've met someone who can compete with me in eating. This is so satisfying." Xu Lizhi looked at Tang Wulin with admiration and gave him a thumbs up.

Tang Wulin chuckled, "It's also my first time meeting someone with an appetite similar to mine. Seafood is just comfortable to eat. High protein. Come on, continue. You should try this. This rose sea urchin is especially delicious; not only is it sweet and fragrant, but it also has the taste of roses. Moreover, as soon as it leaves the sea for two hours, the taste changes. So, you can only eat it by our seaside."

"Wow, it's really so delicious."

Gradually, Xu Lizhi felt he couldn't eat anymore. His belly was already round, and he could only lean back against the chair to keep eating. But what shocked him was that Tang Wulin's eating speed hadn't slowed down at all, and his belly looked like it hadn't changed in the slightest, as if he had never eaten anything at all.

"I, I can't do it anymore. You're amazing, I surrender. Just for this appetite alone, I'll call you Big Brother from now on." Xu Lizhi patted his stomach, panting, his face full of satisfaction and admiration.

"Aha! So you're here." Just at this moment, a slightly familiar and crisp voice rang out.

Tang Wulin looked up while eating and saw the furious-looking Ye Xinglan walk in from outside, heading straight for Xu Lizhi.

"Don't, don't touch me, Sister Xinglan, I know I was wrong. But I'm really eating so happily! Don't hit me! I've eaten too much; if you hit me, I'll throw up, and wouldn't that be a waste? It's so delicious. Do you want to sit down and eat some too?"

Ye Xinglan was truly both angry and amused. This guy was just too gluttonous.

However, when she turned to look at the table, she was also taken aback. Was this something a whole company could eat?

Plates, bowls, and all kinds of food scraps were everywhere; two large round tables were completely full. Opposite Xu Lizhi, that guy was still gnawing on crab legs. His movements were so skillful: a bite on both sides, a snap, and then a piece of white crab leg meat was squeezed out, eaten in one bite, without wasting a bit.

Seeing how deliciously he was eating, even Ye Xinglan felt her own stomach get a little hungry.

"You're the one who lured him out to eat?" Ye Xinglan's willow brows arched. She certainly remembered seeing this boy of similar age at the stadium today. The boy looked very good, especially his pair of large eyes, which looked particularly gentle and clear. However, he must have had some scheme for calling Xu Lizhi out, after all, they were from Shrek Academy.

"Want to eat some together?" Tang Wulin did not answer her question.

Just then, the boss called out, "The salt-baked bluefin tuna is here!"

When Ye Xinglan turned back, she couldn't help but feel her pupils dilate.

This, this is too big...

How big is a fish over a hundred catties? It was over a meter long and very thick. Plus the thick sea salt on the outside, it looked like a small hill as a whole. It was pushed on a cart that was not much smaller than the table and brought to the side of the dining table.

Now the boss completely believed that these two little foodies could finish a bluefin tuna, as their previous combat power had fully proven this.

The boss smiled, "You guys wait, I'll go get a heavy hammer to crack it open for you to eat. My salt-baked tuna is absolutely the best in Tianhai City."

Tang Wulin smiled, "No need for the trouble, I'll do it."

As he spoke, he stood up and walked to the side of the huge salt-baked tuna.

To ensure the tenderness of the fish meat in salt-baking, the salt must be particularly thick. Given the volume of the bluefin tuna, this salt must be at least half a meter thick, otherwise it wouldn't have taken so long to be ready. Now, it was already getting dark outside.

With salt half a meter thick, it would take an adult with a heavy hammer a while to break through.

But for Tang Wulin, this was nothing.

A flash of light appeared in his hand, and the Thousand Refinements heavy silver hammer was already in his palm. He swung it up and smashed it down.

"Bang!" Amidst the muffled sound, the salt on the very top immediately cracked. Immediately afterward, there were two more "bang, bang" sounds, and the upper layer of salt cracked completely.

Tang Wulin put away the heavy silver hammer and used both hands to scrape away the salt, revealing the white, tender fish meat inside. Suddenly, a rich, fresh, and fragrant aroma rushed toward his face.

Xu Lizhi also stood up, staring wide-eyed at the salt-baked bluefin tuna, looking as if he wished he could swallow it all in one bite.

"You, you, why didn't you tell me earlier that there was such good stuff? What do I do if I can't eat anymore? No, no, I'm going out for a walk. Don't finish it all! I'll be right back to keep eating." Saying this, the little Fatty took stumbling steps and went out.

Tang Wulin skillfully took a clean large plate, used a dinner knife to slice into the thick fish meat, and a large piece of white, tender fish meat jumped onto the plate.

He was just about to sit down and eat, but suddenly realized there was a girl in front of him. Used to taking care of Naer since he was little, he raised his hand and passed the plate over, saying, "Want to eat some?"

In fact, Ye Xinglan had been staring straight, watching everything he had done earlier.

It was her first time knowing that one could eat such a big fish, and that it could be eaten in such a way. She was just a ten-year-old child; even if her personality was steadier than her peers, and she was an outstanding individual among them, the temptation of delicious food was still enormous.

"Mmm, okay." Ye Xinglan didn't hesitate, took the plate, found a clean fork from the side, sat in Xu Lizhi's previous seat, and started eating.

Tang Wulin smiled, walked to the fish head position, scraped away the salt blocks there, revealing the huge fish head. He inserted the dinner knife into the fish head, circled it once, and a piece of tender meat the size of a palm popped out, landing on the second plate in his hand.

He still handed it to Ye Xinglan, "You should try this; this is the essence of this fish. Bluefin tuna is a deep-sea fish, and its meat contains a large amount of fish gelatin. This piece of fish cheek meat contains the most abundance of it. The combination of fish gelatin and tender meat is the most delicious."

After speaking, he put the plate down, found another plate for himself, got a large piece of meat, and began to eat and eat and eat.

This kind of unbridled eating of grilled fish felt truly wonderful.

The taste is really good, Ye Xinglan thought secretly. Especially after eating the fish cheek meat, she praised it even more in her heart. She stole a glance at Tang Wulin and thought to herself, "This guy, showing courtesy without a reason, he's either a traitor or a thief. I must be careful."

However, this fish meat is really too delicious. I should finish eating before I continue being careful.

Thus, this man and woman threw themselves into eating vigorously. The only thing that made Ye Xinglan somewhat dissatisfied was that that guy hadn't looked up at her even once from beginning to end, just eating and eating there.

She had originally thought that Xu Lizhi was enough of a foodie, but this guy's level of foodiness was actually worse than Xu Lizhi's. It could be said that he could eat terrifically. A large amount of fish meat entered his stomach, yet he had no reaction at all, and his eating speed was even getting faster and faster.

While eating, Ye Xinglan pondered that this guy was truly a monster in terms of appetite. However, this fish meat was really quite delicious.

The saltiness of the sea salt did not penetrate the fish meat too much; instead, it better preserved the meat juice of the fish, which was exceptionally delicious. Especially the piece of fish cheek meat that Tang Wulin gave her, the delicate meat quality combined with the soft, elastic, and rich gelatin was absolutely the most delicious thing she had ever eaten in her life.
