Douluo Huo Yuhao: My Clone is Too Self-Disciplined

Chapter 22 Kid, you dare not take the money?

After seeing off the previous eccentric customer, Huo Yuhao silently mourned for his sister-in-law for three seconds. His little treasure trove was already close to one hundred gold soul coins.

After all, he alone contributed 700 copper soul coins to Huo Yuhao's revenue, which is equivalent to 7 gold soul coins. The cost was only a few copper soul coins. The profit was unimaginable, truly unimaginable!

How much did the teachers at Shrek Academy earn in the original story? Probably not as much as him!
Huo Yuhao was still busy with his money-collecting, or rather, money-making scheme, and didn't even have time to wipe the large beads of sweat from his forehead. At this moment, a figure quietly appeared beside him—it was Wang Dong.

She used a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from Huo Yuhao's forehead, then said with a look of disgust, "Huo Yuhao, the food you baked is disgusting!"

"Don't worry, I cooked yours separately. Look, your grilled fish is spotless!"

Huo Yuhao handed a string of whips to a classmate, then took the blue handkerchief from Wang Dong and vigorously wiped the spots on his forehead that Wang Dong had missed wiping. He then picked up a skewer of grilled fish and handed it to Wang Dong.

"I grilled six fish in total. They're all quite plump. I reckon you can only eat two at most. The rest are for my little Ya-jie!"

Wang Dong gently tore off a piece of fish and put it in her mouth. The grilled fish melted in her mouth, and Wang Dong's eyes lit up. She didn't expect Huo Yuhao's cooking skills to be so good. In the Haotian Sect, she ate delicacies from land and sea, but none of them could compare to this small grilled fish, which made her feel more satisfied.

However, he also noticed that Huo Yuhao mentioned a woman's name!

"Sister Xiaoya? Is she the current leader of the Tang Clan that you told me about?"

"Yes, yes, yes! You'll be able to meet soon!"

Wang Dong devoured the grilled fish, quickly finishing one. She then reached for another, but just then, a clear, bell-like voice rang out.

"Wow! It smells so good! Sister Nan, what's that smell?" Another female student next to the stunningly beautiful girl asked in surprise. She was also quite beautiful, but standing next to the stunningly beautiful girl, she was like a green leaf setting off a flower.

This girl, called Sister Nan, looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old. She had a slender and well-proportioned figure, with long, wavy golden hair cascading down her back. Her skin was delicate and fair, and her eyes were like pools of clear water. When she looked around, she exuded an elegant and refined air, like a crescent moon with a halo, or snow piled on flowering trees. Her graceful and delicate beauty was beyond compare, and her stunning appearance seemed to make everything around her pale in comparison.

Upon hearing her voice, the women also looked towards Huo Yuhao's stall.

Girls naturally wouldn't be interested in things like kidneys or whips, so they easily glanced away from them. Jiang Nannan immediately asked, "Junior, how much is your grilled fish?"

Huo Yuhao's heart skipped a beat!
Oh wow, here come the characters from the story!
So even though I sold barbecue so many days apart from the original story, it still triggered this event, right?

However, he is the king of subverting conventions; he avoids all the pitfalls that the original work encountered.

Huo Yuhao grinned, revealing a sweet smile.
"Senior, what are you saying? This fish is only worth a few dollars. I've made enough money today and I'm about to close up shop. There are only a few fish left. Why can't I treat you to one?"

After saying that, Huo Yuhao swiftly pulled out one of the four remaining grilled fish from the barbecue stall and handed it directly to Jiang Nannan, whose beautiful eyes seemed a little dazed.

At this moment, Wang Dong looked at Jiang Nannan with a strange expression, and for some reason, the grilled fish in her hand suddenly didn't taste good anymore.

Jiang Nannan was forced to hold the grilled fish, and she seemed a little at a loss, after all, Huo Yuhao was just too enthusiastic.

Junior, this isn't right. I'll give you the money! Your grilled fish cost three copper coins, right? I'll pay you back."

"Senior, I'm new here, so it's only right that I show you respect. I can definitely afford to treat you to grilled fish."

Huo Yuhao certainly couldn't accept money. After all, grilled fish was his specialty, and everything at his stall started at least at ten copper soul coins. Jiang Nannan was only paying the cost price of three copper soul coins. With so many people watching, if he agreed today, how could he continue doing business? He might as well give it away for free!
At the same time, he couldn't quite understand Jiang Nannan's thoughts. "If I want to sell it, you think it's too expensive and want to bargain! If I just give it to you, you don't want it. It's really difficult!"

After the two of them passed the buck to each other several times, Huo Yuhao wondered if he should just accept the three copper soul coins.

Just then, a powerful shockwave came from afar, passing by Huo Yuhao's ears. A loud boom made all the customers who were enjoying their barbecue stand up and look in surprise at the source of the sound.

Half a gold soul coin was inserted into the grill at Huo Yuhao's barbecue stall, and then a loud and clear voice rang out!

"Kid, you dare not take the money? Are you tired of living?"

Huo Yuhao: "???"

Wang Dong: "???"

The customers: "???"

……

Upon seeing the newcomer and hearing his words, Huo Yuhao felt a surge of anger and frustration.

Xu Sanshi, are you out of your mind?! Do you want to hear what you're saying? How long have you been experiencing these symptoms? Go get treated!
How can this be considered stirring up trouble?
He finally understood that the problem wasn't the grilled fish at all; the fundamental mistake he made today was that he shouldn't have been there.

Xu Sanshi, that bastard, just wanted to take this opportunity to flirt with Jiang Nannan.

The dog that was passing by barked twice at Jiang Nannan was about to be kicked by Xu Sanshi!
I'm sorry I became part of your play!

"Xu Sanshi, what are you doing here? My affairs are none of your business!"

"Nannan, your business is my business. How could I possibly ignore you? I'll go and teach this arrogant brat a lesson right away!"

After saying that, Xu Sanshi turned his head to Huo Yuhao, who looked completely bewildered, and said fiercely, "Kid, apologize to Nannan right now, or you'll face the consequences!"

Huo Yuhao: "666"

Apologize, huh? Fine, fine, so many people are watching! Today I'll show you the power of public opinion!
"I'm so sorry, senior. I shouldn't have given you grilled fish, and I especially shouldn't have tried to treat you to it for free. I'm so sorry, I was wrong! I'm guilty, I'm not human, I deserve to die..."

"It's still a little short..." Xu Sanshi didn't say the last two words because he felt something was off.

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's apology, Jiang Nannan was so ashamed that she wanted to disappear. The surrounding customers and students also looked at Xu Sanshi with a hint of disdain.

This is truly an eye-opener! There are all sorts of people in this world! Shrek Academy is full of oddballs!

The poor little boss, he's really unlucky to have run into such a scoundrel.
