"Mmm, it tastes really good."
Song Zhe held a skewer of grilled sausage in one hand and happily took a bite.
Seeing the nostalgic look on his face, Dugu Yan was stunned.
It's just two grilled sausages, why are you acting like you've never eaten them before?
"Miss, would you like a bite?"
Song Zhe handed the sausage in his left hand to Dugu Yan next to him.
In his previous life, he especially loved eating these snacks, but he hadn't eaten them for a very long time since he came to this world.
'Since it's a rare opportunity to visit Tiandou City, I naturally have to enjoy a good meal.'
"You eat it, I don't want it."
Dugu Yan shook her head.
Seeing the grilled sausage handed to her, she felt a little uncomfortable. Was this guy using her money to treat her to something to eat?
That's really special!
However, the fact that this guy had no money on him truly surprised Dugu Yan.
"Miss, you're not afraid I'll poison you, are you? I can't bear to poison you to death. I'd rather take you back to warm my bed."
Song Zhe did not retract his left hand; the skewer of sausages remained in front of Dugu Yan.
He just wanted to taste it; he didn't want to eat two skewers.
When the two of them are together, it always feels like he's eating the sausage alone, which makes it less fun.
"If I eat the grilled sausage, will you not take me back?"
Dugu Yan's pretty face flushed crimson.
She was just a teenager, and she was completely at a loss when a little boy harassed her so blatantly.
"Okay, if you have fun with me, I won't take you back."
Seeing Dugu Yan accept the sausage, Song Zhe couldn't help but show a kind smile.
He just felt that eating alone was boring and simply wanted to find a girl to eat with.
Unfortunately, neither his sister Na'er nor his sister Dong'er were there, so he could only have Dugu Yan keep him company.
After all, he didn't have a single penny on him.
"Then I'll accompany you shopping."
Thinking that she wouldn't be caught and taken back, Dugu Yan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Actually, being caught and taken back isn't a big deal.
After all, just listening to their conversation that day, she knew that Song Zhe was no ordinary person.
Moreover, even Dugu Yan couldn't resist that eye-catching face.
(TL: bro is 7… tf kind of handsome face can he have.. don't give me that bs about faster aging lol)
A child who is ridiculously handsome will attract both boys and girls.
Of course, this situation is more like lust at first sight.
"I want to eat that again."
Song Zhe pointed ahead to a shop with a wonderfully fragrant aroma.
He then led Dugu Yan towards the shop, and his eyes lit up as he looked at the various items inside.
"Young master, what kind of skewers would you like?"
Although the shopkeeper saw that Song Zhe was dressed poorly, he still greeted him very warmly.
This is probably why in Tiandou City, most merchants don't judge people by their appearance.
Moreover, these snacks are not expensive; even ordinary people can afford them.
"No to these three types, but one skewer of each of the other types of meatballs."
Without any hesitation, Song Zhe ordered two large cups of boiled skewers.
Actually, this thing was called Oden in my previous life, and it has a rather unique flavor.
(TL: Yamato: Oden?)
"I don't want these two ingredients, Miss Dugu, please pay."
Song Zhe waited quietly as the owner brought out his oden, while Dugu Yan went over to pay.
These things aren't expensive; even if she bought them all, it wouldn't cost her much money.
"Is this all you're going to eat? Aren't you going to a fancy hotel for a proper meal?"
Dugu Yan found it strange.
There are clearly better dining options, so why does this guy choose snacks, and they're quite cheap too?
Even if you've just become a Soul Master, the subsidies you receive from Spirit Hall are enough to eat quite a few of these snacks.
"What's so great about the hotel's food? Can it possibly be as good as my sister Na'er and sister Dong'er's cooking?"
Song Zhe smiled dismissively.
He simply couldn't believe that those chefs were better than Gu Yuena.
Don't you realize how long Gu Yuena has lived? Even though she doesn't cook often, her culinary skills are still unparalleled.
Moreover, she had even met the God of Cookery when she was in the realm of gods.
(TL: pretty sure its good of Food but wtv)
"Her Excellency can cook?"
This time, it was Dugu Yan's turn to be shocked.
Those two incredibly powerful women can actually cook, and judging from Song Zhe's animated expression, they seem quite skilled at it.
"Absolutely, how can they support me if they don't know how to cook?"
Song Zhe replied arrogantly.
Behind them, Gu Yuena, who was hiding not far away, couldn't help but smile.
Just as Song Zhe said, he rarely gave a second glance to women who lacked culinary skills.
Back then, she even secretly went to the master chef's house and stole his exclusive recipe.
From then on, Song Zhe could not escape her food-themed strategies.
"Shouldn't someone of their status have various chefs around them? Why would they need to do it themselves?"
Dugu Yan didn't quite understand.
They could have hired top chefs to cook different dishes for Song Zhe every day, so why did they do it themselves?
"The dishes made by chefs are definitely different from the dishes they make by hand. The dishes they make have the taste of home, which is a taste I especially like."
That's probably why eating out never tastes like home.
Besides, many restaurants outside simply can't compare to the taste of home-cooked meals.
"Oh, I think I understand."
Dugu Yan held a cup of oden and walked side by side with Song Zhe, watching him eat it bite by bite.
Today's experience gave her a different perspective on Song Zhe.
Actually, this little kid isn't as scary as you might imagine; he's not like a demon king at all.
"Hey, you kid in the linen clothes up ahead, wait for me."
At that very moment.
A pleasant voice suddenly came from behind them.
Song Zhe and Dugu Yan immediately turned around and looked at the source of the voice.
Within Tiandou City, it seemed that only Song Zhe was around, displaying this rustic, unassuming demeanor.
"It really is you! What brings you to Tian Dou City?"
Ning Rongrong, dressed in exquisite clothes, stared at Song Zhe in surprise.
She thought this person would stay in Spirit City, but he ended up in Tiandou City.
Moreover, the girl beside him seems to be Dugu Yan from the Tian Dou Royal Academy, the granddaughter of that Poison Douluo.
"Washboard, it's you! What do you need me for? If not, I'll continue shopping with Miss Dugu."
Song Zhe glanced at Ning Rongrong, his heart remaining calm.
He didn't really like this girl when he read the original novel.
Given her spoiled, spoiled attitude, given her past behavior, she would definitely have been beaten to a pulp.
(TL: yeah she was spoiled but she matured and became a better person, which is miles ahead of xiao wus attitude throughout the entire novel, she stayed spoiled from beginning to end)
'I've heard that the cuter a girl is, the longer she'll cry after being beaten.'
"What did you call me? I'm just young and haven't developed yet."
Ning Rongrong was successfully provoked by Song Zhe's words.
To think that she, the dignified young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, would take the initiative to greet Song Zhe, only to receive such an infuriating remark in return.
'Even if you have powerful backing, you cannot insult my character.'
"Look at Miss Dugu, then look at yourself. Don't you have any self-awareness?"
(TL: isn't dugu yan like 5 or 7 years older than the main cast?)
Song Zhe rolled his eyes at her, annoyed.
With your skinny figure, how dare you say that?
