Chapter 6: Encountering Tang Ya.
Lin Qinghan went straight to the city center of Tiandou City.
Influenced by his age, Lin Qinghan was very playful. He stopped and ate as he walked. At this time, he already had five or six skewers of meat in his hand.
"Huh? Douluo Continent also has candied haws?" From a distance, Lin Qinghan found a stall selling something similar to candied haws. He put away the skewers in his hand and walked closer to see that it was indeed a bunch of small red fruits stuck together, all inserted into a bamboo tube and covered with transparent syrup.
Isn't this a candied haws?
Forgive Lin Qinghan's ignorance, this was the first time he had seen candied haws in Douluo Continent.
"Boss, how much do you sell this thing?" Out of curiosity, Lin Qinghan decided to buy a bunch to try.
"7 copper soul coins for a string. Little brother, this is called honey candied haws, which I just developed recently. I am the only one selling it around here."
"The last 5 strings—if you want to give it a discount, take them for 30 copper soul coins."
Lin Qinghan nodded, handed over three silver soul coins, and took the honey candied haws handed over by the boss.
He took a bite and found that it was very different from the candied haws he knew.
This small red fruit was not sour like hawthorn. It was sweet from the inside out, had no core inside, and even the skewer used to pierce the fruit could be eaten. The overall taste was not bad.
Just when Lin Qinghan was about to finish the last string, a female voice came.
"Hey! Little brother, save the gourd in your mouth."
Lin Qinghan turned his head and saw a delicate girl coming in through the gap in the crowd. She looked only a few years older than Lin Qinghan. Her long black hair was tied into a ponytail, and her beautiful phoenix eyes were shining as she looked at the honey candied haws in his hand.
Lin Qinghan's hand was shaking, and the girl's eyes followed the candied haws—it was very amusing.
"Hello, handsome little brother, my name is Tang Ya. The gourd-like thing in your hand looks delicious. I'll give you a silver soul coin. How about you sell it to me?"
Tang Ya swallowed her saliva and took out a silver soul coin.
"No, I'll give it to you because you acted cute for me."
Lin Qinghan thought it would be nice to have a good relationship with the main character of the original work. After all, a candied haw wasn't worth much.
"Wow! Little brother, thank you."
Tang Ya took the candied haws from Lin Qinghan without hesitation, thanked him, and ate it directly.
Looking at Tang Ya—who made her cheeks puffy but was still trying to stuff the candied haws into her mouth—Lin Qinghan secretly thought that this guy was undoubtedly Tang Ya from the original work.
As someone in the original story who was wiped out but could still remain quite naive, she gave the protagonist qualifications for admission and skills as soon as they met. Now, you could already see signs of that personality.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
In the blink of an eye, Tang Ya had finished a string of candied haws. Perhaps it was the woman's sixth sense that made her notice Lin Qinghan's gaze, or perhaps she finally felt embarrassed. Tang Ya muttered this even before she had swallowed the food in her mouth.
Seeing her cheeks puffed up like that, yet still trying to speak, Lin Qinghan almost laughed out loud.
"Nothing, you saw it wrong." Lin Qinghan touched his nose with his hand, looked away, and denied it flatly.
"Is this the first time little brother has gone out by himself? By the way, you haven't told me your name yet, but I told you my name as soon as we met."
At this time, Tang Ya had not experienced the tragedy of the extermination of her whole family, and was obviously more sunny than in the original book. She mistakenly took Lin Qinghan's evasive eyes as shyness.
"My name is Lin Qinghan. Don't keep calling me little brother."
Lin Qinghan was a little overwhelmed by Tang Ya being so familiar with him.
"Brother Qinghan, you already treated me to candied haws—how about I take you to the best restaurant around here?"
Lin Qinghan's mouth twitched slightly. How could he not see Tang Ya's purpose? It was obvious she saw that he was rich, young, and easy to fool, so she came to eat at the rich man's house.
"You want me to treat you to a meal? That's fine, but you have to tell me where the Tang Sect is."
Lin Qinghan had some ideas. Xuantian Gong could spread throughout the body's meridians, and maybe he could create a new meditation method by observing it. Directly asking Tang Ya to sit down and demonstrate would definitely not work, but going to the Tang Sect to watch the disciples practicing would be much easier.
"Why do you want to go to my house? But if you really treat me to a meal, I can take you there."
Tang Ya fully demonstrated what innocence was.
No wonder she was a ruthless person who could go directly for revenge at level 40. At this time, Tang Ya had no doubts about Lin Qinghan's purpose, which said a lot.
"It's a deal. Let's go. Take me to that restaurant. I'll treat you."
As soon as she finished speaking, Tang Ya took Lin Qinghan's hand and rushed to a nearby restaurant with the largest number plate, regardless of the crowd.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Tang Ya showed her familiarity. She picked up the menu and ordered a few dishes. In two quarters of an hour, the table was already full of food.
Looking at Tang Ya, who was feasting on the food, Lin Qinghan always felt that something was wrong.
This girl was too familiar.
Seeing that the food on the table was just some ordinary ingredients, there was no soul beast meat or the like, and the cost was not high—at most a dozen gold soul coins—he simply didn't mind.
"Why don't you eat? These are all carefully selected by me, and I guarantee they are delicious."
Perhaps seeing that Lin Qinghan, who paid for the food, hadn't eaten a single bite while she tried everything, Tang Ya finally felt embarrassed and picked up a big chicken leg for Lin Qinghan.
"I'm almost full already. You eat first."
At this time, Tang Ya's face was as puffy as a hamster. Even though she was holding a big chicken leg with chopsticks, she didn't forget to hold a thousand-layer cake in her left hand and nibble on it.
"Well, let me tell you secretly, my father is the leader of the Tang Sect, and I am the next heir of the Tang Sect. It will be much more convenient for you to visit the Tang Sect with me."
Tang Ya tried hard to swallow the food in her mouth.
"From what you said, can I visit the Tang Sect now?"
"There is a statue of Ancestor Tang San in the front yard of our Tang Sect. Only the front yard can be visited, but it is charged."
It seemed that the Tang Sect had been in decline in the past two years. Even the front yard of the sect had been opened as a paid attraction. The degree of decline could be seen.
"I will take you to the backyard of the Tang Sect to play later. You can see many Tang Sect hidden weapons."
After saying a few words, she continued to eat.
During the meal, Tang Ya fully demonstrated what it means to be a starving ghost reincarnated. She didn't stop until the whole table of dishes went into her stomach.
"Is it okay for you to eat so much?" Lin Qinghan looked at Tang Ya's slightly bulging belly and was a little curious how such a petite person could eat so much food.
"I am a martial artist, so it is normal for me to eat this much."
Tang Ya wiped her mouth and walked out of the restaurant with Lin Qinghan.
