Chapter 22 Who is not a soul master?
"By the way, Brother Tao, the fight just now was too intense. I'm a little hungry. How about we go out for a meal?"
Just when the scene fell into a slightly awkward situation, Tang Wulin on the side took the initiative to speak, breaking the silence among everyone.
"Okay, I happen to know a snack street. I'll treat you to a good meal, just as a way to make friends!"
After hearing Tang Wulin's words, Xie Xie took the initiative to take over and suggested.
"Great! Xie Xie, you are such a good person. I really misjudged you at the beginning!"
Knowing that there was free food to eat, Tang Wulin jumped up excitedly, and the look he looked at Xie Xie instantly changed.
"Then let's go! Zhao Tao, Gu Yue, you come too!"
With a faint smile on his face, Xie Xie turned to Zhao Tao and Gu Yue and said.
"Of course, let us, Young Master Xie, pay for it. Gu Yue, will you come too?"
Nodding, Zhao Tao agreed to Xie Xie's suggestion, and smiled at Gu Yue again.
"Okay."
After hearing what Zhao Tao said, Gu Yue finally nodded, and then followed Zhao Tao silently.
...
Soon, the four of them arrived at the snack street where Xie Xie was.
Although the snack street did not seem luxurious or spacious, as soon as they arrived at the street corner, all kinds of aromas hit their faces, which made people's appetites whetted.
"Xie Xie, you are most familiar with Donghai City, and you don't have any recommended delicacies?"
Tang Wulin asked curiously as they walked.
"Of course! Let's go to that braised beef in a pot first. I come here often and it's so delicious!"
Seeing Tang Wulin asking him, Xie Xie smiled slightly and took the initiative to introduce.
"So it's the classic braised beef in a pot plot!"
Zhao Tao smiled faintly upon hearing the conversation between Tang Wulin and Xie Xie.
Of course...
the protagonist this time would definitely not be Tang Wulin, but himself!
Soon, Xie Xie, along with Gu Yue, Zhao Tao, and Tang Wulin, entered a small, sparsely decorated shop.
"Hey, Xie Xie is here! Are these your friends?"
A middle-aged man approached the shop, smiling warmly and welcoming the four.
"That's right, Uncle Li. It's the same as always. A bowl of beef, a bowl of rice, and a side dish for each of you,"
Xie Xie said softly, smiling at the man, without a hint of arrogance.
This unusual behavior also drew a strange look from Tang Wulin.
After all, Xie Xie always looked down upon ordinary people, even ordinary students from Class 5.
However, when facing this seemingly insignificant uncle, Xie Xie behaved so calmly, even docilely.
"Uncle Li is an elder who has watched me grow up. When my mother was alive, she often brought me here..."
As if seeing the confusion in Tang Wulin's eyes, Xie Xie lowered his head, his expression somewhat lonely.
"My condolences!"
"I believe that your mother's spirit in heaven also hopes that you will live a happy life!"
Hearing Xie Xie's words, Zhao Tao patted his shoulder and comforted him.
At this time, Uncle Li came in front of everyone with four servings of braised beef in a pot and rice and side dishes.
After being comforted by Zhao Tao, Xie Xie's mood seemed to be more stable, and he tasted the tender beef in the clay pot in front of him with everyone.
"Xie Xie, your taste is really good, but the amount of beef is a little small. I can still eat ten pots!"
Having devoured a can of beef in a flash, Tang Wulin gazed at the empty can in front of him with a hint of reluctance and asked ,
"Ten cans!?"
"There's a rumor going around that the cafeteria has a big eater, devouring over a dozen people's worth of Class 3 meals in one sitting. Could that be you, Wulin?"
Xie Xie's eyes widened in surprise at Tang Wulin's words. Then, as if understanding something, he looked Tang Wulin up and down.
"Yes, it was me. I'm sorry for the expense, Xie Xie!"
Hearing Xie Xie's words, Tang Wulin scratched his head a little embarrassedly.
"It's okay, it's just a small expense. Come on, Uncle Li, bring Wulin ten more servings of braised beef in a can!"
Xie Xie smiled brightly and called out to Uncle Li.
"Okay, the beef is here!"
Uncle Li smiled honestly at Xie Xie's words and brought bowls of braised beef to Tang Wulin.
Just as Tang Wulin was about to indulge in his feast, a sudden commotion erupted from the crowd in the distance. The diners began to flee, and then three burly men strode towards the Stewed Beef Shop.
"Mr. Li, why haven't you paid last month's protection fee yet?"
"If you don't accept my offer, I'll have to pay it back. I, Guanglong
, am no pushover. If you still can't pay the protection fee, you can't keep your Stewed Beef Shop!" Arriving at the Stewed Beef Shop's door, the leading burly man, a bald man with dragon and tiger tattoos, glared fiercely at the owner and threatened, "
Brother Guanglong, my wife is seriously ill, and all my money has gone towards her treatment. Please, give her a few more months!"
Looking at Guanglong before him, Uncle Li dropped to his knees and pleaded humbly.
"Hmph, if everyone makes excuses like you, will I still collect protection money from Guanglong?"
"Let me tell you, if you don't do this business, there are others who will. If you don't pay the protection money, there are others who will!"
Hearing Uncle Li's words, Guanglong simply shouted coldly, kicked Uncle Li to the ground with one foot, and with his other hand, pushed the stove and the cans of braised beef to the ground.
"Uncle Li, are you okay? Guanglong, you've gone too far!"
Seeing this scene, Xie Xie quickly stood up and helped Uncle Li, who had been kicked to the ground, up. Then he stared at Guanglong fiercely, his eyes flashing with anger.
"Hmph, a little brat dares to meddle in other people's business?"
"I, Guanglong, don't like to bully children."
"Well, kneel down and kowtow to me three times, otherwise, I will beat you up like this old guy!"
Looking at Xie Xie, who was not even as tall as his chest, Guanglong's eyes were full of disdain, and he snorted coldly.
"Guanglong, don't go too far!"
Xie Xie was completely furious when he heard Guanglong's words. With a wave of his arm, the Guanglong Dagger instantly jumped out. The yellow soul ring on his body kept circling, and his figure seemed to turn into a golden lightning, rushing towards Guanglong!
"Hey, good boy, you're a spirit master?"
"But who isn't a spirit master?"
"My uncle Guanglong is not only a spirit master, but also a great spirit master more powerful than you!"
Looking at Xie Xie rushing towards him, Guanglong just sneered, and two spirit rings, one white and one yellow, instantly rose from the soles of his feet!
As the spirit rings appeared, the skin on the surface of Guanglong's body instantly turned silver-gray!
Thick scales grew on areas such as his arms, thighs, and neck!
This is exactly the posture of the spirit possession displayed by Guanglong's Iron Armored Dragon spirit after it possessed the body
