Chapter 31: Nothing Could Be Better Than This
The sunlight seemed even brighter, and the air felt fresher. At this moment, this world so unfriendly to humans appeared wondrous to Tang San.
He had finally found his wife after reincarnation. It was much easier than he had anticipated, no long journeys or traversing continents. He had found her already. What could be more beautiful than this?
Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu, Mei Gongzi, Mei Gongzi!
Mei Gongzi had returned to the shop, and her mother was saying something to her. Mei Gongzi looked toward Tang San just in time to see his tear-streaked face.
A look of confusion flickered in Mei Gongzi's beautiful eyes. At the same time, her mother smiled kindly at Tang San, gesturing with a cup-raising motion for him to drink the milk tea.
Gradually, Tang San's emotions settled. His divine consciousness itself seemed to tremble!
His hands trembled as well, but he carefully brought the cup to his lips without spilling a drop.
The cup was made of some kind of rough material that felt like tree bark. A delicate mix of milk and tea, with a sweet undertone, warmed him through and through, filling his heart that felt empty no more.
At this moment, his heart was no longer hollow or wandering. He had found his fated bond! What could be more beautiful than this?
He even felt gratitude towards the wolf demons for the first time. Their refusal to let him into the Wind Wolf's ancestral home had actually led to this chance encounter with Mei Gongzi. It couldn’t have been this easy even if someone intentionally arranged things for him.
After another sip of milk tea, wiping his tears away, Tang San turned and sat down under the colossal tree.
This cup of Mei Gongzi's Milk Tea was the most delicious drink he had ever tasted.
His tears had ceased, and a gentle smile now graced his face.
He had found her, and nothing could be better.
He observed the milk tea shop from afar, watching Mei Gongzi and her mother working inside.
Despite his reluctance and longing, he had no choice but to leave quickly.
Mei Gongzi's mother watched the boy with some surprise. She could clearly see Tang San's gaze toward Mei Gongzi, and she could tell that hidden in it was something she’d never seen before. Her daughter was, of course, beautiful, so it made sense for her to attract the attention of boys. However, the boy looked at her not just with admiration and infatuation, but with a deep, emotional intensity, even with tear stains at the corner of his eyes.
What was it that made him so moved?
Back with Wang Yanfeng, Tang San finished the last of his milk tea. Still holding the empty cup, he clutched it gently, reluctant to let go, cherishing it as it had a trace of her presence.
On the way back to the inn, Tang San followed behind Wang Yanfeng, his head bowed, walking in the standard manner of a vassal.
Wang Yanfeng naturally sensed his emotional shift. After they returned to the inn, he asked with concern, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine, teacher. I'm actually really, really fine." Tang San smiled genuinely, a smile from the heart.
Wang Yanfeng saw the smile on his face and said, "It seems that cup of milk tea really touched you! Yes, in this world, despite all the problems we face and everything that works against us, there is still beauty. In your life, even if we face malice every day, our hearts should only cherish the beauty of life. Only then can we truly see the light."
No doubt, his words were heartfelt, and Tang San deeply agreed.
"Now that the task is done, we can stay in the city for two more days. Shall I show you around?" Wang Yanfeng smiled. His task had been successfully completed, and he could report back smoothly to the Wind Wolf Lord.
Tang San asked, "Teacher, are there lively places in Kali City? I'd like to see them."
Wang Yanfeng replied, "There's nothing wrong with going to lively places, but remember to be cautious and stay close to me."
"Of course," Tang San agreed readily.
Wang Yanfeng added, "It's been a while since I've been here. Let me ask Gui Gui."
When he told Gui Gui about taking Tang San somewhere fun, she said, "There are certainly lively places, many of them. Not far from here, there's something worth seeing tonight. It's the annual Kali City Collision Competition. Many demons from Kali City participate, and there are also some coming from neighboring places."
"What's the Collision Competition?" Wang Yanfeng asked curiously.
