Volume 4: It's Dark, Please Close Your Eyes Chapter 10 Sisters, what would you like to eat?
"Bad guy? Tried him away?" Tang Zheng and the others immediately focused their attention on Instructor Zou.
After Instructor Zou was hit by Xiao Lingdang again, his old face suddenly turned red when he felt the gazes of Tang Zheng and others.
Seeing Instructor Zou's expression, Tang Zheng and the others looked even more curious and peculiar, and they were obviously thinking of all kinds of weird ideas...
What about a cute little girl being tricked into eating a lollipop, a pure girl encountering a perverted uncle, a neighbor's wife getting drunk and mistakenly entering the room of the old man next door, etc...
But wait, no matter which imagination I use, it seems that Instructor Zou's gender, appearance, figure, and strength do not make him look like the victim.
"Ahem - it's like this..." Instructor Zou knew that if he didn't quickly clarify the facts, Tang Zheng and the others' thinking would completely deviate from the normal direction, so he hurriedly recounted the incident of how the Jiuhua Academy instructor betrayed the human race and almost lured him into a trap that had been set up in the wild and killed him.
The people from Yisu Academy, who had just experienced a tough battle and were immersed in the joy of victory, suddenly heard the news and their hearts sank.
Has the demon clan's hand stretched so far and so fast?
Thinking about how Instructor Zou, who had taken good care of the people in Yisu Academy during this period, almost became a victim of the human traitors, Tang Zheng and the others felt a lingering fear in their hearts.
Looking at Instructor Zou again, I remembered that when I heard the two key words "bad guy, cheated..." from Xiao Lingdang just now, I almost misunderstood Instructor Zou and heard that the instructor was a bad guy and cheated so-and-so away... I felt really guilty.
Well, this must be mainly a matter of temperament!
"Well, instructor, I'm glad you're okay!" Xiaotang was the first to speak to comfort him.
Tang Zheng took a look at Xiaotang's expression and knew that she was definitely the one who had the wrong idea just now.
Then Leng Zhan and Jiang Wuyan also spoke up to comfort Instructor Zou. In comparison, the expressions of these two people were much more serious and sincere.
"A traitor has emerged from Jiuhua Academy who has defected to the demon clan and attempted to murder his colleagues. This matter is very serious. We need to arrange for someone to notify Jiuhua Academy and the clan's top leaders as soon as possible, so that all academies can be on high alert." Leng Zhan said immediately after comforting Instructor Zou.
Although Leng Zhan has no great interest in anything other than cultivation and fighting, as the eldest son of the Leng family, there are some things that he cannot be distracted to deal with, especially this matter is related to communicating with demons!
"I'll arrange it right away." Instructor Zou nodded in agreement when he heard Leng Zhan's words. He subconsciously turned around and was about to carry out the order, but found a hand on his shoulder.
"Hey, why are you all so serious? Why So Serious? We are having three good things happen to us right now!" Tang Zheng grabbed Instructor Zou who wanted to leave with one hand, turned around and smiled at the people around him, raised his eyebrows.
"Huh? Three good things happening at the same time?" Xiaotang asked in confusion.
"Haha, of course. We just won a very difficult and important battle, which is the first good news. In addition, the rebellion of the instructor of Jiuhua Academy has been exposed. In this game of 'Close your eyes before it gets dark', there is one less killer who can harm people at 'night', right? This is the second good news."
"In the end, Instructor Zou survived the disaster. As the saying goes, those who survive a disaster will have good fortune in the future. This is the third happiness. Tell me, does this count as three happinesses coming together?"
"With so many happy things happening, isn't it worthy for everyone to celebrate? Why are you all still looking so stern? Let's have fun together!" Tang Zheng said infectiously.
When the people present heard Tang Zheng's words, it seemed to make some sense. Even Instructor Zou, who had just escaped from a thrilling assassination, seemed to think that the fact that he almost lost his life might... be worth being happy about?
Wait, why do I feel like something is not right?
Just when everyone was wondering what was wrong, Xiao Lingling's eyes turned and she was the first to jump up. She jumped directly into Tang Zheng's arms and raised her hands high: "What are you unhappy about? Let's have fun together!"
With Tang Zheng's interruption and Xiao Lingling's seamless "cute" skills, they launched a series of coordinated combos, and the originally heavy and depressing atmosphere was instantly wiped out by them.
"Okay, then... where are we going to have fun? By the way, didn't the teacher say he would treat everyone to a big dinner?" Xiaotang also said with a smile.
"A big meal? It turns out that Junior Brother Tang Zheng is not only good at fighting, but also very good at cooking. It seems that what he said on the ring today that he would treat us sisters to a meal was not just a lie?"
Before Tang Zheng could answer, a pleasant female voice came over.
When they looked back, they saw a few girls from the Alsophila Academy, who had just fought with them not long ago, walking towards them gracefully under the leadership of Jiang Jilan.
Jiang Jilan looked at the people from Yisuli Academy with a smile on her face. She was still wearing a unique blue floral dress and looked as sweet and soft as when she gave them fruits. There was no trace of the domineering attitude she had shown on the stage just now when she yelled at Tang Zheng, "Sister lets you choose a way to die."
"Haha, just average. But when I'm not being modest, I think I'm indeed quite capable in all aspects!" Tang Zheng said while touching his nose as he looked at the girls from Alsophila Academy who were full of exotic charm but equally pleasing to the eye.
"Well, it's settled then. We're going to try your cooking today. You're not just bragging, are you..." Ji Lan chuckled and teased.
Xiao Tang was about to complain after hearing Tang Zheng's words. Tang Zheng was also humble sometimes, but when he heard Ji Lan's ridicule, he widened his eyes slightly and said, "Senior Ji Lan, you are uninformed. If our teacher's fighting talent is first-class, then his casting talent is super first-class, and his cooking talent is super first-class... If you don't believe me, I can bet you one hundred taels of purple gold. If the meal cooked by the teacher today doesn't satisfy all of you, or even surprise you, then I lose. How about that?"
Listening to Xiaotang bragging to him with a righteous attitude, even a mentally strong Tang Zheng couldn't help but want to cover his face, thinking: "Enough, enough, if you keep bragging, your bragging will be exposed and it will become vulgar... Besides, you have to bet even when you have a meal, when did you develop this bad habit, Xiaotang!"
Several people from Alsophila Academy originally came to congratulate Yisu Academy on its victory. They had only made a few casual jokes to Ji Lan, but they did not expect that Xiao Tang would immediately bring it up to the level of a bet. Even if they were a few girls, they could not bring themselves to back down.
Although one hundred taels of purple gold is not a small amount, they don't take it seriously. They just earn it for face!
Besides, except Ji Lan, all the girls in Alsophila Academy were of noble birth. They had been living a life of luxury since childhood and had eaten all kinds of delicacies. They naturally recognized the strength of Xiaotang and the other warriors who came from Border Town Academy, but they still had some reservations about their taste in food.
At this moment, hearing Xiaotang praising Tang Zheng's cooking skills so decisively, the girls from the Alsophila Academy felt somewhat skeptical and unconvinced.
"Haha, since Junior Sister Xiaotang is so sure, then of course I'm going to accept this bet. One hundred taels of purple gold, not to mention surprises, as long as you can have a dish that satisfies me, you win." Su Miyan was the first to stand up and speak, and it was obvious from her expression that she was not very excited about Tang Zheng's treat today.
Xiaotang was about to speak when several other girls, Bai Shu, Rong Xue, and Qiao Wenzhu, also accepted the bet. The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became confrontational again.
At this time, Ji Lan smiled and said, "Little Tang sister, I was just joking. Why are you sisters taking it so seriously? I can't afford one hundred taels of purple gold. Well, there is no need to gamble. I also believe what Little Tang sister said. Junior brother Tang Zheng will definitely perform well, right? I think there is no need to bet so much trouble."
Facing Ji Lan's roundabout way and the steps, Tang Zheng smiled shyly, and seemed to be planning to take advantage of the situation: "Well, Senior Ji Lan is right, betting is too troublesome... But I like it!"
"Whether it's cooking or fighting, I always feel a little tired without motivation. Xiaotang's proposal for a bet has made me feel a little impulsive about the next cooking process."
Tang Zheng's words made Ji Lan frown slightly, but she soon smiled: "Since Junior Brother Tang Zheng is so confident, I hope this meal can be as exciting as today's battle. Farewell."
After saying that, Ji Lan led several other girls and prepared to leave.
"Wait." Seeing Ji Lan and the others were about to turn around, Tang Zheng suddenly spoke.
Ji Lan and others paused. Could it be that Tang Zheng was scared again and wanted to go back on his word?
Seeing the puzzled expressions of Ji Lan and the others, Tang Zheng smiled and said, "Before I start cooking, I would like to ask you, senior sisters, what are your favorite dishes or foods?"
Tang Zheng's words made Ji Lan and the others laugh.
Arrogant, this guy Tang Zheng, this guy is really arrogant to the extreme!
I originally thought that Xiaotang was still young, came from a humble background, and had seen few delicious foods, so it was understandable that she praised Tang Zheng. I didn't expect that Tang Zheng was such a bright guy who would shine if given a little sunshine.
Ji Lan and the others were very smart and of course they reacted immediately. Tang Zheng suddenly asked them about their favorite foods and dishes. Of course, it was impossible that he was just trying to take advantage and win the bet by satisfying their preferences.
Because, the things they like to eat the most are actually the hardest to make, to satisfy them, and to surprise them.
With Tang Zheng's intelligence, it is impossible for him not to figure this out.
Therefore, the only possibility for him to ask this question is that he wanted to use the most difficult and impeccable way to subvert their taste buds and cause the greatest psychological impact on them by using the food and dishes that they are most familiar with and like!
