Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

"What would you like?" Pretty Girl asked, her voice still neutral.

Tang San stuttered, "I—I\'d like, two cups, two cups of milk tea."

"Okay, two Monster Coins." Pretty Girl took two cups of milk tea, bagged them, and handed them over to him.

Tang San handed her two Monster Coins, but Pretty Girl pointed to a tray in front of Tang San, where Monster Coins were placed.

Only then did Tang San understand; she was unwilling to take the money directly with her hand. For some reason, he felt somewhat delighted, and a smile appeared on his face. He then placed the Monster Coins in the tray and took the milk teas.

"Hurry up and go," Pretty Girl glanced at him and said.

Tang San blurted out, "Why do you sell milk tea?"

Pretty Girl was clearly taken aback by his question, and the shop assistant next to her couldn\'t help but "Pu" laugh, "Someone actually asked such a silly question. Selling milk tea is of course to earn money! Earning money is of course because of needing money!"

Pretty Girl seemed not to have heard the shop assistant\'s words, looking at Tang San and saying, "Earn money to support the family."

"Oh, oh."

"Haven\'t left after buying?" A muffled voice rose from the side.

Tang San turned his head to look at the Porcupine Demon for a moment before turning and walking away. After a few steps, he couldn\'t help but look back at Pretty Girl.

What he saw was Pretty Girl frowning slightly, then she waved at him, signaling him to hurry on his way.

Then he noticed that Pretty Girl was slower in preparing the milk tea for the Porcupine Demon than she had been for him.

Is she showing concern for me, afraid I\'d be at a disadvantage? Afraid the Porcupine Demon would target me after buying the milk tea?

Tang San felt a warm feeling in his heart. Perhaps it was because he cared too much that at such times, his heart became more sensitive.

Returning to the tree, he handed one cup of milk tea to Wu Bingji.

Wu Bingji took the milk tea with some surprise, "What is this?"

"Milk tea." Tang San pointed toward the Pretty Girl Milk Tea Shop in the distance. His gaze once again lingered on the figure in his heart.

"Oh, is it time to go?" Wu Bingji asked.

"Yes, let\'s go." Tang San definitely didn\'t want to cause any trouble for Pretty Girl. After taking one deep look over there, he and Wu Bingji left with their milk teas.

The milk tea wasn\'t very sweet, but it had a light creamy fragrance and a warmth to it.

Sipping his drink, Tang San walked with Wu Bingji. Their gazes both seemed distant.

After walking for a while, Tang San suddenly realized that he seemed to have taken a wrong turn. After adjusting his direction, he headed towards Aunt Gui\'s place. Actually, it was quite far from this side to Guigui\'s. But since he had already told Guan Longjiang, it wouldn\'t be good not to go.

However, no matter where he walked, that figure occupied his mind.

How wonderful it would be to stay by her side every day!

Guigui\'s inn was as usual. By the time Tang San got there, it had already turned dark.

Guigui was also taken aback when she saw him and Wu Bingji.

"Why are you here? And who\'s this?"

"This is my good friend." Tang San quickly introduced, after all, when outside, he did not address Wu Bingji as senior brother.

Wu Bingji had also come back to his senses by now, his eyes brimming with spirit, clearly having gained some insights from his previous contemplations.

"Hello, Auntie. I\'m Wu Bingji. I\'m with Xiao Tang over at Jiali College town." Wu Bingji said.

Guigui suddenly realized and smiled, "Come in, come in and we\'ll talk."

She led them into a room in the small inn, got them something to eat, closed the door, and then asked Tang San, "Why did you suddenly come over? Is there something wrong?"

Tang San said, "I came to see you. And how are Miss Wang and the others? Is everyone alright?"

Guigui, hearing that he was asking about this, let out a sigh of relief. She really feared that something special had happened.

"Everything is fine on my brother\'s side. The incident the other day caused quite a stir; it has now escalated into a confrontation between two races. I heard the lord of Wind Wolf Town died, and this lord\'s identity was quite special, said to be a direct descendant from the King of the Wind Wolves bloodline. No one knows why he went there to become a Young Lord, but his bloodline position remained. After his death, the King of the Wind Wolves furiously swore to avenge him, and battles between the Wind Wolf Tribe and the Flash Leopard Clan have already broken out several times. The town, on the other hand, has been relatively calm; the high priest has left too. Now there\'s not much management in the town. There shouldn\'t be any problems for a short time."

After thinking for a moment, Tang San said, "Is there any way we can bring them into the city? It\'s ultimately unsafe out there."

With his understanding of the Monsters over these years, only a big city like Jiali City would have order; outside the city, order simply did not exist. Everything relied on strength; if you had strength, you could survive. Without strength, danger could come at any time.

A faint smile appeared on her face, and Guigui smiled, "You really are a good kid. Don\'t worry, the organization is already preparing. You should perform well in the academy yourself. Now you can represent the heritage of the Wind Wolf Line. If you perform well, the organization will naturally pay more attention to your teacher\'s side. Do you understand what I mean?"

Tang San certainly understood and nodded solemnly.

"It\'s getting late; you two should head back soon. Have something to eat, then return early. Be careful on the way home," Guigui urged.

Of course, she didn\'t know that Tang San\'s visit was just a side trip; she thought he had come specially and was somewhat moved in her heart.

After dinner, Tang San and Wu Bingji set off back to Redemption Academy.

Walking on the road, Wu Bingji suddenly asked, "You\'ve been acting a bit off today! At the square—that milk tea girl—you know her?"

Tang San was startled, nodded, but then shook his head. He thought Wu Bingji was completely immersed in his own world; he didn\'t expect him to have noticed.

Wu Bingji said, "So do you know her or not?"

Tang San replied, "I\'ve seen her once. The time Miss Wang and I went to the Ancestral House of the Wind Wolf Clan to deliver the gift list, I was waiting outside, and she gave me a cup of milk tea to drink under that big tree."

Wu Bingji slightly smiled and said, "You took leave to see her, right? Yes, she really is beautiful. At that time, I was completely absorbed in considering how to control the ice element, how to progress. And even though I was far away, I was still attracted by her beauty. It\'s no wonder you reacted the way you did."

As he said this, the smile on his face faded a little, "However, Xiao Tang, I have to remind you, if she\'s able to sell milk tea in the central square, she must have a strong background. She\'s probably a vassal to some powerful Race, that\'s why the Monsters buying milk tea from her can\'t covet her. Everyone loves beauty, but you\'re still so young, it\'s better to stay away in the future."

Pausing for a moment, his smile returned, "The milk tea was actually quite tasty."

"Yeah," Tang San agreed, nodding and accepting Wu Bingji\'s concern.

Come, of course, he would still come.

Was she selling milk tea because she was short of money? Why would she be lacking money? The milk tea shop seemed to be doing great business; he wondered how much money she needed. That was what Tang San had been thinking about all the way back and forth in his mind after seeing Pretty Girl.

Yeah, he should try to come back soon.

When they arrived back at Redemption Academy, the sky had completely darkened. Wu Bingji went to report to Guan Longjiang, while Tang San went straight back to his own room.
