Suddenly, red envelopes started raining in the group chat. I am an orphan was transferred to Su Yan. Tang Yuehua was sent to Su Yan. Ma Xiaotao was transferred to Su Yan, then to Liu Erlong, then to Bo Saixi, and so on.
Inside the Star Dou Great Forest, Su Yan finished claiming his red envelopes. He did not rush to take everything out at once. Instead, he first took out the portion that Tang Yuehua had sent him. It was several large bowls of bean juice.
Su Yan looked at the group and smiled. He said that Tang San and the others were in luck this time. He told them this was a secret delicacy from Heaven Dou City. He mentioned that, honestly, most people never get a chance to drink it.
Zhao Wuji looked over and saw the bowl in Su Yan's hand. When he saw the familiar liquid, his eyes lit up with surprise. He asked if that was really bean juice from Heaven Dou City. He said it was good and that he loved the stuff. He told Tang San and Mubai to hurry up and try it.
Zhao Wuji's mouth watered with anticipation. He took a bowl and sipped from the rim. He was clearly an expert at drinking this. Tang San and the others were a bit worried at first because of how it looked and smelled. But since they saw Zhao Wuji drinking it with such joy, they became very curious. They wondered if it really was a delicacy.
Still, something felt a little off to them. They didn't think Su Yan would be that kind-hearted to just give them treats. Zhao Wuji exclaimed that it was authentic. He said it was definitely from Heaven Dou City and that he remembered the taste well.
Seeing their teacher so happy, Tang San and the others finally relaxed. They all took a drink together. As soon as they took one sip, several of them put on masks of pain. There was a sour and spoiled smell that filled their senses.
Tang San spit it out and started coughing hard. His expression was full of pain and his eyes were wide. He thought to himself that he had lived two lives, but he had never drunk anything this awful.
Dai Mubai was also in great pain. He wondered if the nobles of the Heaven Dou Empire had such strange tastes. Ma Hongjun and Oscar also looked like they were suffering. They felt like this was just another part of the bro code. They thought that by following Tang San, they had really hit rock bottom for eight lifetimes.
Zhao Wuji saw their reactions and got angry. He gritted his teeth and called them little bastards. He asked if they even understood what a delicacy was. He ordered them to drink it all and told them not to spit it out. He said that in a place like the Star Dou Great Forest, Su Yan was giving them a good thing. He warned them that if anyone disappointed Su Yan's good intentions, he would beat them.
Tang San and the others were completely shocked. They wondered if Teacher Zhao was trying to kill them. However, they saw the murderous look in Zhao Wuji's eyes. They had no choice. They pinched their noses and gulped it down. Tang San and Dai Mubai saw their faces turn green from the taste.
Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling stood by and watched, feeling stunned. They couldn't believe what they were seeing. Being from Heaven Dou City, they knew all about bean juice. They knew that people who liked it really loved it, but for those who didn't, it was worse than being killed.
Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing were confused. They thought it was supposed to be a delicacy. Su Yan hadn't poisoned it, so they wondered if it was really that bad. Xiao Wu looked at the bowl in Su Yan's hand. She picked up a spoon and took a small taste.
She immediately spit it out. Zhao Wuji looked speechless. He said these people just didn't know how to appreciate good food. Su Yan looked at Zhao Wuji and chuckled. He asked if he wanted another bowl. Zhao Wuji rubbed his head, feeling a little embarrassed, and said he would take another one.
Actually, the breakfast had started out quite well. Tang San finally got to eat some roast chicken. But that bowl of bean juice almost poisoned his spirit. His heart was full of resentment. He thought that Su Yan was simply his bane. He felt that if Su Yan wanted to poison him, he should have just done it directly instead of using bean juice.
Dai Mubai and the others felt the same way. They thought that next time, it would be better to just be poisoned.
The people in the group chat had a very good breakfast. They all got to taste things they had never eaten before. The twenty thousand gold coins that Ning Rongrong gave Ma Xiaotao the day before had already been put to good use.
Later that evening, the group was searching for a Spirit Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest. Suddenly, the Iron Armored Rhinoceros they were with started to tremble. It immediately knelt on the ground in fear.
Zhao Wuji was startled. Then his face filled with panic. He said that things were not good. He told everyone to hide behind him right away. He looked at Su Yan and told him that if anything happened, Su Yan should not worry about him. He told Su Yan to run and take the others out of the forest as fast as possible.
As Zhao Wuji spoke, he activated his Spirit Avatar. This shocked Tang San and the others. They realized that if someone as strong as Zhao Wuji was preparing for the worst, the danger must be huge.
In the group chat, Little Wild Goose Is Not Swallow asked what was happening. Loves Eating Carrots replied that she felt Er Ming had come. Liu Erlong asked if there was also a Da Ming. Loves Eating Carrots asked how she knew that.
Bibi Dong asked if it was a hundred thousand year spirit beast. Su Yan replied that it was the Star Dou Great Forest's security guard number two, the Titan Giant Ape. He also mentioned it was Xiao Wu's little brother.
Ah Yin said that the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python were the strongest in the forest, so she wondered why they were called security guards. I Am a Little Bird said that if it was Xiao Wu's brother, then he was on their side. She thought they could use him to fight Tang Hao.
Su Yan told the group he would explain later. He told Xiao Wu to just follow the Titan Giant Ape and leave normally. He said to let the little monkey follow her first and that he would catch up soon.
At that moment, two tall trees were pushed apart. A huge figure showed its head. It looked like a small mountain covered in black fur. Even though it was on all fours, it was nearly ten meters tall. If it stood up, it would be twenty meters high.
When they saw this giant creature, everyone's heart started racing. They couldn't breathe. They all knew the answer. This was a hundred thousand year spirit beast.
The little monkey stood on the head of the Iron Armored Rhinoceros. It looked down at the terrified bull. Then it looked up at the Titan Giant Ape with surprise in its eyes. It jumped onto Su Yan's shoulder and made some noise.
Xiao Wu asked Su Yan what the little monkey wanted to do. Su Yan replied calmly that the little monkey liked this giant one and wanted it. The little monkey thought the bull was too small and didn't give him enough face.
Xiao Wu was confused. Tang San remembered something he had learned. His voice trembled as he said it was the King of the Forest, the Titan Giant Ape.
Zhao Wuji spoke very politely this time. He addressed the ape as the respected King of the Forest. He said they meant no offense. He told the ape that if this was its territory, they would leave immediately.
He felt very unlucky to run into such a beast. He thought to himself that Flender would have to burn a lot of spirit money for him next year. Zhao Wuji let his seven spirit rings light up. He was ready to fight with everything he had. He told Su Yan to please take everyone back safely.
Su Yan did not say anything. He just patted the little monkey to keep it calm. He knew this was Xiao Wu's little brother and not just some random animal.
The Titan Giant Ape took a step toward the group. Zhao Wuji yelled for everyone to move. He said he would block it. He told them to eat Oscar's mushroom sausage and leave right now. He told them to be quick.
