Chapter 1498: 1498
In their mutual effort to share the burden, Tang Wulin and the Thunderclap Nether Vine absorbed the lightning at a quicker pace .
The nights in Mingdu City were as busy as ever, but Tang Wulin still felt lonely as he walked through the streets by himself .
How great it would be if she was by his side at the moment . There would be no need for anything else, and he would be satisfied if only he could hold her hand and walk together with her .
A faint smile emerged on his face soon after . There would come a day when he would be able to do so .
Light dimmed in the distance . All of a sudden, a loud boom was heard . Tang Wulin’s pupils constricted subconsciously while his soul power fluctuated as the result of a stress reaction .
Immediately after, he saw a ball of light surge skyward . It exploded into some dazzling fireworks high in the sky . The people gathered below cheered aloud at once .
‘Someone is actually setting off fireworks?’
Tang Wulin remembered the celebration of a festival in Mingdu City today .
The term ‘festival’ hardly came across Tang Wulin’s mind . He had completely forgotten about the last festival which he celebrated . He vaguely remembered his father and mother taking him and Na’er to celebrate a few of the festivities when he was young . They rarely played fireworks because it was costly . Being frugal, his parents would purchase the cheaper and relatively safer fireworks for him and Na’er .
Tang Wulin felt sad as he thought about his parents . They were saved by his biological parents . In fact, Tang Wulin was closer to Tang Ziran and Lang Yue than his biological parents . Tang Wulin truly felt the warmth of a family and a parent’s love for a child from both Tang Ziran and Lang Yue .
Tang Wulin heaved a soft sigh . His aura turned a little unstable soon after .
‘My fathers and mothers, please wait for me no matter how far you are . ’
Ever since his conversation with his biological father, his life’s goal had aligned with the Star Sea!
“Boom, boom!” Another two blooms of fireworks exploded and soared into the sky . All at once, Mingdu City seemed to have an air of festivity due to the exploding fireworks over the night sky .
The air felt slightly cold . There was a faint aroma of meat being grilled in the cold air . Tang Wulin began walking toward the source of the smell and saw a small shop selling barbecued meat .
Tang Wulin then decided to have his dinner there .
He was already considering the dinner menu in all apparent seriousness even before he walked through the door of the shop . For someone who had been shouldering much stress lately, dinner was the only thing on his mind at the moment . He felt warm and joyous in particular .
It was just a trivial matter to most people . It was, however, a real treat for him which was hard to come by .
‘Hmm, I’m going to order a set of each type of barbequed meat, and I’ll have them with frozen ale . I’m going to savor it slowly . Each type of meat has a different flavor and they come with different gravies . ’
As he was reflecting over the food, his mouth began to salivate while his stomach was rumbling with hunger .
Because Mingdu City was a hive of activities recently, every nook and cranny of the restaurant was filled with diners . Tang Wulin did not even manage to get a seat upon entering the place . He would need to wait for a vacant seat . He thought he might as well wait since the queue was not too long .
The place was selling barbequed meat . Each table was equipped with a grill . Tang Wulin recalled a technique known as ‘traditional grilled meat’ where pieces of meat marinated in a variety of sauces were cooked on a hot grill until a fragrant aroma of barbecued meat filled the air .
A layer of frost could be seen on the surface of the cup when the ale was served . Apparently, the cup was frozen beforehand . The ale which was similarly frozen was poured into the cup . In this way, the ale’s excellent quality and sweet fragrance would be maintained .
Although the shop was small, its attention to detail was praiseworthy . Tang Wulin could not help swallowing his saliva as he watched the diners toasting one another and feasting on the scrumptious meat . Delicacies were meant to be savored and enjoyed . Eating and defecating had always been a living creature’s habits from birth till death . They were naturally the most important and, at the same time, the most relaxing activities of a person .
Tang Wulin was bored waiting for his turn . All of a sudden, he felt a stinging sensation on his body . Subconsciously, he scanned the tables and, much to his surprise, saw a familiar person eating at a table . While the person was eating, she was also staring at Tang Wulin with a ferocious gaze . The stinging sensation was caused by her solid-like gaze .
‘It’s her!’
The person who was sitting in a corner and eating barbecued meat was, no other than, Lan Fozi .
Tang Wulin suddenly had an idea . He walked over to her in great strides and pulled out the chair opposite her to take a seat .
“Who gave you the permission to sit here?” asked Lan Fozi in rage .
Tang Wulin smiled . “We’re fated to meet each other . In any case, we’re acquainted with one another . The place is full at the moment, so, why don’t we share a table?” Tang Wulin also felt extremely curious about Lan Fozi’s origins . He believed that the Spirit Pagoda had also carried out an investigation but most likely did not learn much about this person . Similarly, the Tang Sect’s efforts to investigate Lan Fozi did not yield any results .
A powerhouse just over twenty years old who could cultivate her spiritual power to the Spirit Domain was definitely worthy of attention . The spiritual cultivation base of such a rank signified that she could possibly stand at the pinnacle of mankind in the future and become a new Limit Douluo .
“Go away quick . You make me lose my appetite . Don’t you disturb my dinner time!” Lan Fozi placed down her chopsticks . She had a gloomy and unkind expression on her face .
Tang Wulin could not help laughing and said, “Is this how you thank your life savior?”
“I’ve already returned what I owed you . We don’t owe each other anymore . There’s no relationship between us and you’re not my savior either,” said Lan Fozi in a resistive tone .
Tang Wulin spoke, “Alright then . We’re strangers . Let’s get to know one another once again . My name is Yu Longyue, and I come from the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan . ” As he spoke, he extended his right hand at Lan Fozi with a friendly smile on his face .
Lan Fozi was stunned for a moment . She muttered to herself, “Why are you such a thick-skinned person? I said that I don’t welcome your presence . ”
“Alright . You should continue your meal then . I’ll sit here for a while and I’ll leave as soon as a table becomes vacant, if that’s alright with you,” said Tang Wulin with a smile .
Lan Fozi was about to say something when the soul communicator on Tang Wulin’s wrist rang .
Tang Wulin picked up the communicator . He was on the communicator for a few seconds when his countenance changed . The smile he had earlier vanished completely and in place was a solemn expression instead . He suddenly stood up, turned around, and walked toward the outside .
“Hey, where are you going?” Lan Fozi looked at him with an astonished expression .
Ever since her first encounter with Tang Wulin, she had not seen Tang Wulin in such a sombre mood . She became curious at once .
Tang Wulin did not answer, but he waved goodbye to her . He then left the barbecue shop in a rush .
Apparently, he would not be enjoying his feast of barbecued meat anymore . He looked up at the sky which had already darkened . So, he did not care too much about drawing attention to himself . He hastened toward a direction which he had identified and sped off abruptly .
Tang Wulin had run just a short distance when he turned his head subconsciously and looked to his side . “Why are you following me?”
Tang Wulin was not aware how long it had been since Lan Fozi was by his side . She replied with a rather proud smile, “Does this road belong to your clan? Who are you to say that I’m following you? I’m full from my meal just now . Can’t I take a leisurely stroll?”
Tang Wulin rolled his eyes and spoke with a deep voice, “It’s best that you don’t follow me . I’ve some personal affairs to attend to . ”
“Then you’ll have to spar with me . I’ll stop following you if you win,” said Lan Fozi proudly .
Tang Wulin could not care about entertaining Lan Fozi at present . He knew that Lan Fozi was rather powerful, so it would probably take quite a long time to defeat her . Moreover, he was in the downtown area . The spar between them would certainly draw unwanted attention . At the same time, he did not want to be slowed down by other matters . He chose to disregard Lan Fozi as he had no choice . He suddenly sped up, leaped and scurried off on the rooftops of the buildings .
Lan Fozi refused to give up, so she followed closely by his side . “Are you trying to ditch me? I’ll see whether you’ve the capability . ” For some unknown reason, she felt especially joyous upon seeing Tang Wulin’s rather gloomy look .
Both of them walked in tandem as they headed toward a direction in Mingdu City .
“Is there a change of location?” Tang Wulin made a call with his soul communicator once again . After receiving confirmation from the other end, he hung up the call . He continued moving at speed .
Both of them walked progressively further . They entered Mingdu City’s suburbs soon .
The population in the suburbs was obviously smaller but there were quite a number of cars on the streets . It was peak hours now . The majority of the people who had lower incomes lived in the suburbs .
They crossed two highways and saw a stretch of dense forest in the distance . Of course, it was not an indigenous forest but a suburban park in Mingdu City .
The park was surrounded by an iron grille . It did not pose much of an obstacle for Tang Wulin and Lan Fozi . They leaped over and entered in a flash . Tang Wulin unleashed his spiritual power and had already identified the direction before he dashed off at full speed .
