"Isn't that Wang Sheng and his group? Ridiculous, for part-time students, they're not that poor." As they entered the cafeteria, mocking voices from the outcasts disrupted the previously peaceful atmosphere.
Tang San fixed his gaze on the source of the voice, only to see a group of senior grade students standing on the stairs connecting the first and second floors, looking down at them with a condescending attitude.
"What are you looking at, poor people," said an 11 or 12-year-old boy, handsome in appearance but with a contemptuous look in his eyes. He shook his finger and said, "The food on the second floor is not something people like you can taste."
Xiao Wu's face darkened, about to retort, but a part-time student next to her explained in a low voice, "The second floor is à la carte, the prices are very high, and we really can't afford it."
Xiao Wu happened to be blocked by Wang Sheng just now. The moment she walked out, she immediately attracted the attention of the students on the stairs.
A glint flashed in the speaking boy's eyes, "Hey, this young lady is extraordinary. Why would she be hanging out with poor people? Wang Sheng, I'm in a good mood today, so I won't argue with you."
After speaking, he swaggered upstairs with his entourage.
At a certain academy in the Douluo Continent, Juna saw Tang San and his Qi She classmates heading towards the cafeteria and became curious, so she followed them.
As soon as they entered the Nodding Soul Master Junior College's large cafeteria, she saw several senior grade trainees bullying Tang San and his classmates.
She furrowed her brows slightly and decided to teach these ignorant children a lesson.
Juna, also known as Fang Xuanyu after crossing over to Douluo Continent, stared at the shameless group of senior grade trainees.
Her tone was proud, despite her petite figure, her presence was very strong. She pulled out a large bag of Gintama coins and suddenly threw them into the air, causing the coins to scatter like a metallic rain.
In a mocking tone, she said, "I bet people like you look down on these Gintama coins, am I right?"
The senior grade students on the other side were obviously a little at a loss due to Juna's aura and actions, especially when they saw the large bag filled with hundreds of Gintama coins.
A single Gintama coin is equivalent to a day's worth of meals for an ordinary family, not to mention Gintama coins, which are units that require a hundred copper soul coins to exchange. Not to mention that five Gintama coins can support the expenses of an ordinary family for a year.
Tang San saw the situation and smiled slightly, nodding inwardly. He could tell that Juna, despite her youthful appearance, had an extraordinary demeanor, indicating that she was unique.
Juna proudly said, "What are you looking at? Little brats, have you never seen so many Gintama coins before?" Although her words lacked persuasiveness coming from her, as Juna herself appeared to be just a six-year-old loli.
senior grade trainee were somewhat breathless under Juna's imposing manner, and after exchanging glances, they chose to remain silent.
Xiao Wu was also surprised, but more than that, she was happy. She felt that Miss Juna who had helped them must have an extraordinary identity and background.
The boy who had been disrespectful earlier had a slight change in expression, but ultimately didn't say anything more. He awkwardly turned and hurriedly left with his group of followers.
Juna watched their hurried departure, smiled slightly, then turned to Tang San and Xiao Wu and said, "It seems that the senior grade students here are just paper tigers. I'm in a good mood today, so I won't bother with them."
Tang San responded with a smile, "Thank you for your help, but who are you?"
"I am Juna, from a small town in the Douluo Continent. Actually, I am also a newcomer here," Juna introduced herself with a smile.
Xiao Wu couldn't help but ask, "So why did you help us?"
Juna had a mysterious glint in her eyes as she replied, "Perhaps I saw in you the same indomitable spirit that reminded me of myself."
Juna looked warmly at Tang San and Xiao Wu: "Now they dare not make a sound, let's go upstairs together for a meal. As long as you are studying, I will cover the cost of the meals!" Her tone was firm, but her eyes revealed an unwavering determination.
Tang San furrowed his brow slightly, full of doubt about Juna. Why did she want to invite them for a meal? But seeing her sincere gaze, he felt that she seemed to have no ill intentions.
"Isn't this a bit too much?" Tang San said.
Juna rolled her eyes and reached out to help Xiao Wu, whose stomach was already growling. "Alright, stop nagging. Xiao Wu, let's go eat."
Tang San felt Xiao Wu tightly holding her hand, so he had no choice but to follow her upstairs.
The decoration on the second floor is extremely gorgeous, filled with a noble atmosphere. The ceiling is painted with exquisite totemic images, and various precious antiques and calligraphy are hung around.
The entire second floor seems to exude an elegant and mysterious atmosphere. The dishes are also rich, including some extremely precious soul beast ingredients.
Juna pointed to a plate of meat and said, "This is the Flame Kirin Beast meat from the southern Heavenly Empire. It not only nourishes the body but also improves the constitution and enhances physical resilience."
Then pointing to another dish, she continued, "This is the extremely precious sea soul beast meat from the deep East Sea. Eating it can rapidly restore soul power."
Then it was pointed out that many dishes made by soul beasts have various miraculous effects and are used for different purposes. These are all very clear to Juna because she has been eating them since she was young.
Some soul beasts have very tough meat, such as the Dragon spirit beast, and its meat must be continuously slow-cooked over seven days with fire, and it must also be melted using the flames of the Fire Phoenix.
Therefore, Nirvana Phoenix clan often receives many requests from royal nobles to handle rare and exotic beasts, thereby obtaining a substantial payment, which is the main reason for Nirvana Phoenix clan to have a huge income.
Phoenix reborn from the ashes is a force on the Douluo Continent that everyone is eager to attract and dare not offend. After all, there are not many families with both wealth and power.
Tang San and Xiao Wu looked at the precious soul beast ingredients with wide eyes, never having seen such a variety before. Juna couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't be shy, go ahead and eat. This is the time for growth and development, so both of you should eat more."
But then she remembered something. Xiao Wu seemed to be a soul beast herself. Would she feel uncomfortable eating these soul beast ingredients?
Later, when she saw Xiao Wu eating, she felt that she had been overly suspicious. Soul beasts naturally compete for territory, as well as rare soul rings, soul bones, and beast spirits to enhance their own strength.
At this moment, students from Qi She, like Wang Sheng and others, also looked at Tang San and Xiao Wu with envy. They thought to themselves, how great it would be to have such a generous friend.
Tang San finally let go of his doubts, looked sincerely at Juna, and nodded, saying, "Then we will have to obey."
Xiao Wu clapped her hands happily and said eagerly, "Great! I'm starving!"
Juna smiled and nodded, thinking that the decision to intervene in the plot of the book this time should be the right one.
Sitting in the most superior position in the center, Master had sharp eyes, while the director next to him had a serious expression.
Master's fingers were originally trembling slightly, ready to stand up and speak out at any time, but seeing Juna cleverly solve the tricky problem, he couldn't help but secretly admire her in his heart.
For the younger generation, being able to independently solve difficulties is always more reasonable than relying on elders to intervene, at least it won't be embarrassing when they meet in the future.
Master Slightly turning his head, he said to the dean sitting next to him, "I think the students you recruited this year are indeed quite good. Especially that brave little girl who dares to stand up for justice, what do you think?"
The dean smiled slightly, but there was a slight furrow between his brows. "Indeed, she has shown not only talent and intelligence, but also a kind of courage that comes from within. You may not know that she comes from a prominent family similar to yours. Her soul weapon, like yours, is also of the mutant type."
The Master's expression suddenly became complicated, with a hint of shock. "Are you saying that the young girl and I share the same...?"
"Yes, as you suspected, her variant soul weapon is named Phoenix Seven-Colored Enchanting Eyes. At least for now, her soul weapon level can increase normally without any issues. But it's hard to say for sure, we need to wait until her soul weapon reaches level twenty to determine if there are any defects."
Master slowly lowered his head, gazing at the little girl whose fate was intertwined with his, lost in deep thought.
He wondered whether he should share his past experiences with her, perhaps to provide some guidance for her future path. However, he also understood that everyone must walk their own path and face their own destiny.
At another table, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Yunxuan were sitting together, each choosing some nourishing delicacies.
Tang San picked up a piece of Flame Kirin Beast steak, delicately slicing it with a porcelain knife. The meat separated instantly, seeming to melt into the air. The flame imprint on the steak resembled a work of art, exuding a rich aroma and subtle sweetness.
Xiao Wu loves the dish Abyssal Behemoth made with neon light bulb. This dish uses rare deep-sea coral rice and is cooked with exquisite techniques, resulting in high nutritional value and excellent texture.
The dish also contains various flavors from the sea, including Golden shells, Coral mushroom, and Bluefin tuna, making every bite a taste bud adventure.
Juna chose the ancient dragon back meat, which has a firm and juicy texture. After unique seasoning and cooking, combined with a hint of phoenix fire's delicate sear, the taste is like condensing the essence of heaven and earth in one bite.
The three of them began to enjoy this sumptuous lunch, not only nourishing their bodies but also deepening their friendship.
The light sprinkled on the food, giving it a subtle shine, making it even more enticing. Juna raised her glass, swirling the thick fruit juice inside, capturing the light. Tang San and Xiao Wu also raised their fruit drink glasses.
"Come, for our future adventures and deeper friendship, cheers!" Juna extended the invitation.
The three cups lightly clinked, making a crisp sound. The alcohol flowed down the throat, instantly warming the heart.
Juna is more certain in her heart that moving forward with Tang San and Xiao Wu is undoubtedly the best choice she has made in her life.
