Douluo Continent 5: The Rebirth of Tang San

Chapter 31: I Am Not Xiao Wu, I Am Mei Gongzi

Chapter 30: I Am Not Xiao Wu, I Am Mei Gongzi Is this a milk tea shop? What is milk tea? There was no such thing in the world of Tang San’s past life, and he certainly hadn’t seen it since arriving in this world. It looked like some kind of drink. Although not many demons pass by here, surprisingly, this bubble tea shop is doing quite well. A steady stream of demons walks past the entrance, buying a cup. The cups look pretty big, too. Tang San focused his gaze, a flash of purple light gleaming in his eyes, and activated the Purple Extreme Demon Eye to look at the bubble tea shop. When he saw clearly, a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face. Inside the shop were none other than two women””human women. One was slightly older, looking to be around thirty. She was exceptionally beautiful, with black hair and black eyes. A faint smile always graced her face, and her gaze exuded a gentleness that made it easy for anyone to feel at ease. It could be said that she was the most beautiful woman Tang San had seen since arriving in this world. The woman beside her was younger, looking about sixteen or seventeen, with a delicate, pretty face. She was bustling about, helping out. Human vassals? Could they actually run a shop right in the heart of Jiali City? Moreover, the demon tribesmen who went to buy that milk tea didn’t seem to discriminate against them at all; they all simply bought their drinks and left. They were using the lowest-grade demon coins, so the milk tea was clearly inexpensive. Some demons even bought several cups. Mei Gongzi Milk Tea Shop””is this older woman Mei Gongzi? It’s an interesting name, and it certainly fits her well. Tang San felt around his body. Earlier, Wang Yanfeng had given him some demon coins””made from wind spirit stones””which essentially contained energy on par with demon coins. He looked around; there were no demons in sight. Mei Gongzi’s milk tea shop had just seen off a few demonic customers, leaving it temporarily empty. Tang San took a deep breath, pulled out a demon coin made of Wind Spirit Stone, and quickened his pace toward the shop. This was the first time since arriving in this world that he was preparing to make a transaction using its currency. With every step he took, he drew closer and closer to the Mei Gongzi milk tea shop. A faint scent of milk drifted out from the shop, wafting into his nostrils and making him involuntarily swallow. Before long, he was only a dozen or so meters away from the Mei Gongzi milk tea shop. Now that he was closer, he could see her more clearly. She was smiling and saying something to him. Tang San’s footsteps came to an abrupt halt at that very moment. He stood there, completely frozen. In that instant, he felt as if every pore in his body had burst open, his eyes wide with shock. His body was so rigid he had completely lost control of it. The world around him seemed to vanish in that instant; in his eyes and in his heart, there was nothing but that figure with the charming smile. She looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old, petite and well-proportioned, with a head of black hair neatly falling behind her. Her delicate features adorned her rosy cheeks with such refinement; she had perfectly inherited all the virtues of her beautiful mother, yet possessed an added touch of liveliness and mischief. His heart trembled. Is it you? Tang San stood frozen in place, a bitter ache filling his nose. In that instant, everything else seemed to fade into insignificance. In his eyes, there was only that single figure. Though her appearance had changed from before, and even her demeanor had shifted, the imprint etched deep within his consciousness had etched this figure clearly into his heart. His heart trembled; his body was utterly unable to move an inch. Yes, it was her, it was her! Memories of their past life rushed wildly through his mind. This was a karmic bond from a past life; this was the sole pursuit of his heart. He stood about ten meters in front of the Mei Gongzi milk tea shop, and the three people inside naturally saw him as well. The beautiful woman looked at Tang San, whose gaze was fixed and vacant, with some surprise. The young girl beside him naturally noticed him too. The girl frowned, but the beautiful woman said something to her and then pointed at Tang San. The black-haired girl nodded, then vanished from Tang San’s sight. Tang San’s stiff body instinctively took a step forward. He opened his mouth, almost shouting, “Don’t go.” As that figure vanished before his eyes, his heart was instantly filled with an overwhelming sense of emptiness. “Hey, here, have a drink!” Just then, a pleasant voice rang out beside him. Tang San froze. He slowly turned his head; his stiff body began to tremble, shaking slightly. That figure””familiar yet unfamiliar, the one who had haunted his dreams””was suddenly right in front of him. A cup was held out to him, carrying a faint scent of milk and tea. The black-haired girl, seeing Tang San’s dazed expression, couldn’t help but frown again. She shoved the milk tea in her hand into Tang San’s grasp and said impatiently, “Stop staring. Let’s go.” ” They were so close to each other that Tang San’s voice trembled slightly. “Xiao”¦ Xiao Wu”¦” The black-haired girl froze for a moment, then turned her head toward the milk tea shop. A beautiful woman waved at her and said, “Xiao Mei, come back.” “Okay, Mom,” the girl replied. She turned and walked back. Tang San held the milk tea in his hand, which trembled along with his body, and instinctively took a step forward. Just then, the black-haired girl turned back and said to him, “You’ve got the wrong person. I’m not Xiao Wu. Everyone calls me Mei Gongzi!” Holding the warm milk tea in his hand, Tang San opened his mouth, only to find his voice completely choked up””he couldn’t utter a single word. At that very moment, what floated to the surface of his mind were the various memories of his past life with her, and the image of her charming smile from that time. Two figures with different appearances were now slowly overlapping in his mind. This volume will be full of sweet moments. I’ve already thought of a lot of interactions between Tang San and Xiao Wu for later on””it’ll be really interesting, so everyone, take your time reading it.
