Jiang Cheng's Background

Chapter 41 Jiang Cheng's Background

"You two should drink less."

Tang Ya immediately offered some advice.

Last time, if Xu Sanshi hadn't taken the blame, Jiang Cheng and Bei Bei would have been punished.

Especially Beibei; Zhang Lexuan might be soft-hearted towards Jiang Cheng, but she'd show no mercy to Beibei.

"Xiaoya, I'll just have a little drink with Jiang Cheng."

Beibei and Jiang Cheng clinked glasses again, and the amount of alcohol they drank was no less.

Xu Sanshi, on the other hand, stayed by Jiang Nannan's side like a lapdog, avoiding drinking with them.

"Today is the last day we can all get together this year, so I'll drink this one first."

Midway through the banquet, Xu Sanshi stood up and clinked glasses with everyone.

Apart from him, Beibei, and Jiang Cheng, everyone else was drinking fruit juice, so they weren't drunk.

"Jiang Cheng, eat some meat to fill your stomach, don't just keep drinking."

Huo Yuhao handed the meat he had personally grilled to Jiang Cheng's bowl.

He really enjoys the atmosphere and likes grilling meat for everyone; it feels like coming home.

"Huo Yuhao, you can't be biased. Give me some too."

Wang Dong handed over the bowl, looking at Huo Yuhao with a pitiful expression.

This guy's cooking skills are excellent; it's worlds apart from what Wang Dong bakes himself.

Before, when Jiang Cheng didn't drink alcohol, we would get him some barbecue, but now he has nothing to eat.

Fortunately, Wang Dong has another unique skill.

That means you can just snatch the meat from Jiang Cheng's bowl.

"You've already taken quite a bit of ginger."

Huo Yuhao silently rolled his eyes at Wang Dong.

Although this young master has a good temper, his life skills are almost zero.

With the help of his Eye of Insight, Jiang Cheng's barbecue skills were also quite good, only slightly inferior to Huo Yuhao's.

Without Jiang Cheng feeding him, Wang Dong couldn't eat anything he roasted, and if he didn't eat, he would be hungry until the next morning.

"He's drinking; he can't eat much."

Wang Dong grinned and put more meat into Jiang Cheng's bowl. He didn't take it all; he left half for Jiang Cheng.

"Can I have some too?"

Xiao Xiao asked weakly.

She also really liked Huo Yuhao's grilled meat and fish, but Huo Yuhao never gave them to her first, and she had been craving them for a long time.

As a girl, she couldn't take food from Jiang Cheng's bowl like Wang Dong did.

"I'll bake it for you."

Huo Yuhao picked up the conversation.

He could accept Wang Dong, a man, taking food from Jiang Cheng's bowl, but he couldn't bear to see Xiao Xiao, such a lovely girl, taking food from Jiang Cheng's bowl.

Jiang Cheng touched some grilled meat with his chopsticks. Would that be considered an indirect kiss?

"Huo Yuhao!"

"Are you treating Xiao Xiao differently because she's cute?"

Wang Dong was so angry he wanted to grind his teeth.

He begged Huo Yuhao for a long time, but Huo Yuhao wouldn't give him any meat. The only option he had was to snatch food from Jiang Cheng's bowl.

"Don't talk nonsense."

"I baked some for everyone this time."

Huo Yuhao immediately changed the subject.

In his view, Wang Dong posed no threat, but Xiao Xiao might.

The main reason is that Xiao Xiao is cute and very small, making it easy to hold and squish her.

"Alright, stop bullying Yuhao."

"I'll have the mechanical wolf roast you."

Jiang Cheng waved his hand casually.

Several mechanical wolves appeared, all disguised as robots from the previous life, and all the "robots" started working together.

Although their roasted food didn't taste as good as Huo Yuhao's, it was still above average.

It tasted much better than the others present.

"No, you had this kind of trick up your sleeve? Why didn't you use it sooner?"

Xu Sanshi really wants to cry right now.

The main problem is that even he himself found the meat he grilled disgusting, let alone Jiang Nannan.

Jiang Nannan is basically self-reliant, or she eats food baked by Tang Ya.

"How was I supposed to know you were all such good-for-nothings!"

Jiang Cheng spread his hands, indicating that he was speechless.

Is grilling meat a difficult thing to do?

In our past life, we often ate barbecue, but it got quite greasy.

"Jiang Cheng, you don't understand. With Xiaoya grilling it for me, why would I need to do it myself?"

Beibei boasted.

These words seemed to transform into countless sharp blades, piercing Xu Sanshi's heart.

He seems to be the most miserable one here.

Not only was there no one to help him grill the meat, but the meat he grilled himself was also a complete mess of black bits.

Only Huo Yuhao, being kind-hearted, would share some with him; otherwise, he would have been starving from beginning to end.

"Sister Tang Ya, I want to eat too."

Jiang Cheng's bright eyes looked at Tang Ya.

"it is good."

Tang Ya placed the meat she was originally going to give to Bei Bei in front of Jiang Cheng.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

At that moment, Beibei's gaze froze.

The others couldn't help but laugh.

"Jiang Cheng, you're awful."

"I'm going to get you drunk today."

Beibei poured more wine and started drinking with Jiang Cheng.

He knew in his heart that Tang Ya was only being grateful to Jiang Cheng for helping her get revenge, which was why she doted on him so much.

At the farewell banquet, both guests and hosts enjoyed themselves immensely.

As night deepened and all was quiet, only Jiang Cheng remained by the shore of Poseidon Lake.

Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao have already gone back to their dorm to sleep, and Bei Bei, Tang Ya, and the others have also all gone back to their dorms.

"Aren't you going back?"

A familiar and gentle voice rang in Jiang Cheng's ears.

Before anyone knew it, Zhang Lexuan had come out of the inner courtyard and stood beside Jiang Cheng.

She had barely gotten close to Jiang Cheng when she smelled alcohol on his breath, indicating that he had drunk quite a bit that night.

"Senior Sister, how long do you think these peaceful days can last?"

Jiang Cheng sighed inexplicably.

This is a world where strength reigns supreme.

The Heavenly God King is watching from above, while the Sun and Moon Empire is about to launch a war below.

Even if he wanted to be an ordinary person who was content with his lot, it would be absolutely impossible.

Ordinary people in the Douluo Continent are like ants in the eyes of Soul Masters, their lives as worthless as grass.

"You're so young, why do you have so many feelings?"

"With your current strength, you can't change anything."

Zhang Lexuan draped a long robe over Jiang Cheng's shoulders.

She didn't know what Jiang Cheng had gone through.

Sometimes, she felt that Jiang Cheng wasn't like a child; he carried too much on his shoulders.

The way he spoke was just like Old Master Mu.

"I will keep getting stronger and strive to be the best."

Jiang Cheng did not like war.

His grandparents were originally from the northern part of the Heavenly Soul Empire, so their family's inherited martial soul was the Ice Wolf.

It was because of the outbreak of war that they migrated to the Star Luo Empire and settled in a small town on the outskirts.

My uncle told me that his parents died unexpectedly while hunting spirit beasts in the far north.

Jiang Cheng, however, didn't quite believe it.

His grandfather was a Soul Saint, his grandmother was a Soul Emperor, and his father and mother were both Soul Kings. How could they all die in such a neat and orderly fashion?

Moreover, every time he mentioned this to his uncle and aunt, they would deliberately change the subject.

He even said he wanted to go to Xingluo Royal Academy, but his uncle sternly refused.

Whether it was his uncle or aunt, they all wanted him to come to Shrek Academy, and only after entering Shrek Academy could his twin martial souls be revealed.

This left Jiang Cheng no choice but to think deeply; there must be some secret he didn't know about.

Even though he left the mechanical wolf in the city lord's mansion in an attempt to gather information, he got nothing.

"I believe you will become the strongest person in the world."

Zhang Lexuan gently hugged Jiang Cheng from behind, trying to comfort him and prevent him from thinking about those sad things.

Because a few days ago, she saw a message.

According to Shrek Academy's investigation, the destruction of Jiang Cheng's family was actually related to the Heavenly Soul Empire's national protection sect.

Jiang Cheng will probably find out about this sooner or later.

Zhang Lexuan didn't tell him for the time being because she was afraid that Jiang Cheng would act impulsively and try to confront that sect head-on.
