Qian Yu saw Xuan Zi stop the action with his hand and also ceased emanating the grey evil aura from his body…
Xuan Zi gently set Qian Yu down, then turned his gaze toward another figure holding the drenched body of Ma Xiaotao, whose graceful figure seemed even more enchanting, though she had already fallen into unconsciousness…
Qian Yu inquired, "Elder Xuan, who is this?"
Wang Dong muttered, "The flame she just erupted with was terrifying!"
Huo Yuhao nodded, "I felt like I was about to melt!"
Xuan Zi explained, "She is an inner court disciple of Shrek Academy, as for anything else, you don't need to know!"
Then he turned his eyes toward the front of Sea God's Lake…
All ahead, several figures clad in white were seen quickly approaching!
When they saw Xuan Zi holding Ma Xiaotao, they respectfully said, "Elder Xuan!"
Xuan Zi did not say much, nodded, and handed over the unconscious Ma Xiaotao, "Mhm! Take her back, and make sure she's well guarded, otherwise, there might have been casualties today!"
Several people expressed their apologies, "Yes, Elder Xuan, this was our oversight."
Subsequently, one of the white-clad men turned his gaze to Qian Yu and the other two and said, "You three from the outer courtyard, it's our fault for not watching over her properly, we will compensate you! Do not speak of this matter to anyone!"
After speaking, they left with Ma Xiaotao…
Only then did Xuan Zi chuckle, "You should be done fishing by now, right? Hurry and leave this place."
Although he was somewhat puzzled why they fished for so many fishes.
The trio of Qian Yu nodded and Huo Yuhao stored the hundred delicate and plump fish into his storage soul tool…
Huo Yuhao smiled at Qian Yu and Wang Dong, "Let's go! We can go back and see how the grilled fish tastes."
Wang Dong blinked, "Sea God's Lake is so clear, the flavor of these fish must be good!"
Qian Yu nodded, "Yeah! We'll talk more after we get back."
Xuan Zi licked his lips, "Little fellows, you just mentioned grilling fish, don't tell me, you caught these fish to eat them after grilling?"
He was almost tired of eating chicken legs, and eating some fish would be delightful…
Huo Yuhao shook his head, "No, they are for sale!"
Xuan Zi shook his head, "Whatever you do, make it quick. I'll taste it for you, after all, I've eaten all around Shrek Academy, maybe I can give you some tips!"
After saying that, he immediately grabbed the three of them and disappeared at the edge of Sea God's Lake…
…
When the trio regained their senses from the dizzying feeling, they found they were already inside their dormitory…
Huo Yuhao inhaled sharply, "Sss… Is this the terrifying power of a Titled Douluo, to appear here in an instant!"
Wang Dong rubbed his head, "My head still feels dizzy."
Having tried it once already, Qian Yu didn't feel much…
Elder Xuan, sitting to the side and sipping from his flask, his eyes sparkling, urged them, "Don't just stand there, you're supposed to grill fish, aren't you? Hurry up!"
Heeding Elder Xuan's urging, Huo Yuhao nodded and took out the wood and seasoning for grilling fish…
After setting everything up, the wood was ignited and with dexterous moves he skewered dozens of fish that were still wriggling on slightly thick skewers"
Then he set them above the fire to start grilling…
This pleasing skill made Xuan Zi anticipate the delicious meal to come!
Being so orderly in each step, it seemed that this lad named Huo Yuhao was not new to grilling fish – an experienced hand indeed!
As these fish on the fire turned golden brown and an aromatic fragrance slowly spread…
Only then did Huo Yuhao sprinkle the seasoning over them, deepening the exquisite scent!
Once grilled, all four of them started to enjoy the fragrant grilled fish…
Subsequently, Huo Yuhao received praise from all three companions!
Seizing the moment, Qian Yu and the others moved all the grilling items to the special stall area outside the teaching building!
The entire street was filled with large and small stalls, almost all run by students themselves or vendors permitted by Shrek Academy to set up shop there!
Wang Dong, looking at the long line of stalls, exclaimed, "There are so many? Can we really sell out?"
Qian Yu gently patted Wang Dong's shoulder, "Don't worry, trust Yuhao's grilling skills!"
But then he felt that Wang Dong's shoulder was a bit too soft, more delicate than a normal boy's…
```
When Wang Dong felt the hand on his shoulder, his highly sensitive face flushed with several shades of red as he pretended to be indifferent and took a few steps forward...
Qian Yu didn't think much of it...
Afterward, the three of them got down to business and started setting up...
As the Shrek Outer Court students who had just finished class passed by en route to get food, their noses were greeted by an enticing fragrance...
A male student took a deep breath and exclaimed, "Huff... wow... so fragrant! It's the smell of grilled fish!"
Another female student cried out in amazement, "This smell is simply divine! Look, it's those three junior students selling grilled fish!"
The fairy-like Jiang Nannan also smelled the fragrance and turned to look at Qian Yu and the others, her eyes shimmering with surprise...
And then, when Beibei, Tang Ya, Xu Sanshi, and many other senior students arrived later, they too discovered people selling grilled fish and a long line formed...
One of the students, eyes shining, asked, "Junior brothers, how much are you selling the grilled fish for?"
Huo Yuhao smiled and replied, "Five copper coins each! No haggling!"
Qian Yu and Wang Dong looked at the crowd of students almost surrounding them and shared a knowing smile...
They hadn't expected their stall to attract so many customers on the very first day!
The male student gritted his teeth and said, "Alright! Since it's the junior brother's first time here, I'll take two!"
"I'll have one too. This grilled fish smells so good; it's much better than other stands!"
"I'll take one too!"
"I want two!"
...
Qian Yu handed over the grilled fish and said softly, "Thank you for your patronage! Please come again!"
Wang Dong was also busy handing over grilled fish and then collecting the copper soul coins...
Jiang Nannan smiled faintly as she handed five copper soul coins to Qian Yu and softly said, "Junior brother, please give me a grilled fish!"
She thought Qian Yu was quite interesting. To think he'd start selling grilled fish with his roommates after winning a fight against Xu Sanshi?
And the taste seemed very good, so she was a bit tempted!
After taking the money, Qian Yu picked up a well-cooked grilled fish and handed it over, "Okay! Here, senior sister, take it!"
When Jiang Nannan took a bite, her eyes couldn't help but light up...
So fragrant! Unlike the food from other vendors, the fish was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the seasoning was spot on...
Jiang Nannan, who wanted to buy another one, thought about her financial situation and sighed helplessly...
Suddenly, Xu Sanshi's voice came from beside her, and he offered her the fragrant grilled fish in his hand, saying softly, "Nannan, here, take it if you haven't had your fill. I've got more!"
Seeing that it was Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan's expression immediately turned cold, and without a word, she decisively walked away.
Xu Sanshi, left standing in place with the grilled fish in his hand, looked somewhat displeased...
This was the first time he had queued up to buy grilled fish...
...
When it was Beibei and Tang Ya's turn, they realized that it was Qian Yu and his two friends selling the grilled fish!
They said happily, "Little Qian Yu, and Wang Dong, Huo Yuhao, what are you doing selling grilled fish here?"
Beibei also added, "And it seems pretty fragrant, too. Qian Yu, give us two as well,"
With that, he took out ten copper soul coins.
When Qian Yu saw that it was Tang Ya and the others, he said, "How could I possibly take money from Sister Tang Ya and Big Brother Beibei?"
After saying this, he handed over two grilled fish...
Tang Ya and Beibei, seeing the gesture, didn't fuss and began eating the grilled fish...
Then Tang Ya complimented, "The grilled fish tastes amazing. It looks like you guys are going to be selling for a while. Beibei and I will leave first,"
Of course, all these were just minor episodes...
After selling for about an hour or two, the hundred grilled fish were finally sold out...
They made a total of five silver soul coins!
The profits from these one or two hours of work were nearly a hundred times more than what they earned cleaning the teaching building every morning!
