Chapter 26 - 26: Shrek Examination(2)

Author's Note: Sorry for the late update a blackout had occurred here for whole 24 hours! Goddamn it!

So anyways everyone voted for Mao XiaoTao and I have plans for her to appear. And it has something to do with the help of a certain reader. Don't regret it everyone. And I will promptly say it that if anyone complains about it, I will say that it was entirely all your fault for voting.

Btw, I've been getting votes for Gu Yuena to appear and I have to say something for those who voted for her to appear in this story, I'm sorry.

As I have said before, this story will strictly be with the first series/timeline/DouluoDalu1 only. So don't expect some of the DD2-4 characters or some information of that era to appear here, except for when Xiao Yan becomes a god or if you readers can help me incorporate any DD2-4 series characters into the story.

The votes for potential 'harem' members will continue to wage until the story gets to or after the five year timeskip.

Well with that said, enjoy the chapter!

============================================================================================================================================

After everyone calmed down, the old examiner nodded and turned to Dai Mubai to guide them towards the next exams.

Though before that, he turned to both Xiao Yan and Xun Er, asking them with a curious expression.

"Hey you two, if it isn't any trouble, can you tell me what both of your spirits are?"

Xiao Yan and Xun Er turned to looked at each other, contemplating for a moment, before looking back at the old man and nodded in confirmation.

"No, it isn't any trouble mister. My spirit is the Heavy Xuan Ruler."

Xun Er then followed, saying.

"And my spirit is called the Vast Sun."

The old man's, Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing and everyone around them had their eyes shining in wonder and awe. Although a big ruler spirit is uncommon for one to have but the name of the spirit that Xun Er had uttered had sent ripples within their hearts.

'Vast Sun... Truly, it is a very appropriate name for it.' Everyone thought, besides Xiao Yan and co, at the name with an inwardly sigh.

As for the spirit rings being fake? Only an idiot would suggest such a thing when the pressure and spirit power the rings gave off was much higher than any ten or hundred year old spirit rings!

Though the old man couldn't help but narrow his eyes as, for a moment, he felt as if those spirit rings were more stronger than any ordinary spirit rings.

Complex feelings flashed through Zhu Zhuqing's eyes for a moment before shaking her head. Looking back at the cheery yet sometimes cold Xun Er's eyes. Despite the variety of emotions running rampant inside of her, about the fact that she was going on about fighting this monster above monsters, she couldn't help but let out a wry smile.

Although she had only accompanied her for a mere two days, she felt like she already understood her on some level of understanding.

'A monster of monsters she might be, but, I just can't picture the pouting and cold girl like that.' Even though her face fixed back into her cold, indifferent and detached persona, a slight smile appeared on her face.

After that, Xiao Yan and co followed Dai Mubai to their next exams as he informs them of the current situation of the academy. Though sometimes his gaze would cast on Zhu Zhuqing, which made her promptly hide behind Xiao Yan, much to his confusion, they continued on until they were about to reach the area for the second exam.

A soft voice suddenlyresounded.

"Selling sausages, selling sausages. Have a look, have a look, passing by or passing through you must not miss it. Oscar brand of sausage, tastes beautifully fragrant and sweet. Price convenient, quantity yet ample. Only five copper coins for one. Eat Oscar brand sausage, guarantee you will even easier pass the entrance exam."

Dai Mubai's face darkened incredibly, while Xiao Yan and co inclined their heads to see, only saw alongside not far away, a man pushing a wagon where he peddled. A burst of meat scent disseminating from the wagon, already already some of the lined up students had bought.

The man standing behind the cart wore simple grey clothes, neat short hair, across his entire face a full beard, but having a pair of peach blossom eyes, gaze roaming between, especially towards the girls in the exam student ranks. The three femme fatales naturally also difficult to escape his scanning gaze. Though they were quickly shielded from the lecherous eyes of the man by Xiao Yan's body. It's hard to believe, that such a soft feminine voice would issue from a like this straightforward perverted a.d.u.l.t.

A mischievous, amusing and slightly dangerous light appeared in Xiao Yan's eyes. Turning to everyone behind him, he said.

"There are still several people ahead of us, you guys didn't eat much for breakfast, do you want to eat a sausage?"

Tang San and co inclined their heads towards the cart, with a few sniff from their noses, they all nodded and said.

"Hmm, sure why not?"

"It smells pretty good. Let's try that."

"I'm with Xiao Wu."

"Sure."

Xiao Yan nodded, letting Tang San and co stand by the side of the queue, he walked in the direction of the cart on his own. But not before giving a slight shake of his head towards Dai Mubai, who was about to warn him, with a scheming smirk.

Coming close, he was able to see that sausage salesman's height was not much different from his own, on the cart was also nailed a board, on which was carved two words, 'Sausage Monopoly'.

The salesman seeing a person approach, immediately enthusiastically said:

"Come for sausage? Oscar fresh sausages, offering sincere treatment to all. Flavour guaranteed."

Xiao Yan rubbed his chin for a moment, looking like he was thinking about the said products of sausages, but in reality was thinking of ways on how to messed with him.

Inclining his head, Xiao Yan, with a slight normal smile on his face, without giving out the real emotions that he was feeling, said to the sausage guy.

"Uncle, I'll trouble you to give me two."

That sausage guy's expression suddenly became rigid, as his face slowly turned red.

"You-, what did you call me?"

Xiao Yan, acting stunned, said.

"I called you uncle, ah, is there a problem uncle? Should I not call you uncle? Ah! Is it because your more older than I thought? Sorry. Should I call you grandpa instead?"

The sausage guy's face turned brightly red like a tomato. His expression greatly resembling of the buttcheeks of a baboon. Veins appeared and started to throb on his forehead.

"Y-YOU–!!"

"Or should it be ancestor?" Xiao Yan's expression looked respectful and gentle, as if he was a child greeting a great elder. Inwardly though, he was smiling wide and showed an evil expression.

'Hehe, you bastard was once one of my idol when I first read the novel, working hard despite all the disadvantages you have because of being a food system, until you became all simp and shit in the DD2.5. This isn't punishment bro, this is karma and retribution.' He evilly thought.

The sausage guy's face, Xiao Yan knew it was Oscar, was literally looking like a boiling pot, grinding his teeth in anger, he looked as if he was mere seconds away from maiming Xiao Yan and ripping him apart.

Xiao Yan knew when to retreat, especially since he didn't want to beat up and possibly create some sort of inner demon for Oscar when he mentally scar him, so slightly giving a low bow to him, not too deeply of a bow to the point of being subservient, but one of out seeing the other as an equal.

"I'm sorry for my rudeness senior. I hope you forgive my actions as this is my first day."

Oscar's once crimson wrathful face slowly turned back to normal. Inclining his head down to his cart, taking deep slow breaths and release it out with a sigh, he tilted his head back to glare at Xiao Yan.

Giving a 'hmph' he waved his hand at Xiao Yan saying.

"Bah! I'll forgive you but only this time! I'm just fourteen years old. One of the very few students of the academy and if you get enrolled here then that means I'm your senior."

Raising his head, Xiao Yan give Oscar a slight smile and shook his head.

"Ah to think that you were truly my senior! I am truly sorry for the misunderstanding."

A tick mark appeared on Oscar's forehead, his right fist raised towards Xiao Yan and trembling, not from fear, but from sheer frustration and anger.

With grinding teeth he snapped at Xiao Yan, who might or might not have let out a big smug grin before fixing his expression into a confused one staring at Oscar.

"Are you going to buy a sausage or not?!"

Tilting his head, Xiao Yan looked thoughtful for a moment before nodding.

Messing with him was one of the reasons why Xiao Yan wanted to come to Oscar's sausage cart, the second reason, however, was that he wanted personally try out the effects of his sausage.

"Nine please." Though now he also wanted to messed with the others as well and use it as preparation for the final examination.

Dishing out nine sausages into bamboo skewers, after paying for it, Xiao Yan nodded at Oscar and turned back to walked towards his group. Though not before sending four of the sausages to his storage ring.

Standing near the queue, Tang San and co waited patiently as Xiao Yan came near them with the sausages. Dai Mubai though, was giving him an odd and was about to open his mouth to say something, but Xiao Yan shot him a look.

Dai Mubai looked confused for a moment before realization flashed in his eyes. Although he didn't know whether Xiao Yan knew about Oscar's "big sausage" but he didn't want to miss an opportunity like this.

"Yo! I'm back with the weiners." Xiao Yan said with a smile Distributing each of the sausages to Tang San, Xiao Wu, Xun Er and Zhu Zhuqing.

With the last sausage on his hand, he ignored the widened shock eyes of Dai Mubai, and without any hesitation, ate the entire sausage in a single swallow.

'Hmm? It's texture of taste is just like a normal sausage but the flavor is more delicious than a normal one! And...' A warm and comforting energy seem to washed Xiao Yan's entire body. By the looks of everyone's surprised and shocked expressions then they felt the same as well.

'Dang. Oscar's first spirit ring ability; Big Recovery Sausage, capable of recovering both physical injuries and health. If you ignore how this was made then it would have been more enjoyable and satisfying.' After devouring the entire thing, Xiao Yan turned to the others looking at one another with surprise expressions.

"This..." Xiao Wu started, as she examined her body by twisting around.

"...is so strange." Xun Er finished, blinking, she stared at her palms.

"Hmm." Zhu Zhuqing nodded.

Tang San, however, turned towards Xiao Yan with a questioning raised eyebrow. Although surprising, but this wasn't the first time that he had experienced of getting a buff, especially since his sworn brother's an alchemist, who will find ways to make him test out his products. Xiao Yan didn't dare make Xiao Wu, Xun Er and Xiao Xi Yian taste any of them, afraid of getting the so called women's/girl's scorn.

But what he really was confused of, was what's the catch? After all, this is Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan merely sent him a big bright smile before turning towards Dai Mubai who stood stone still.

"Will you do the honors, or shall I?"

That woke Dai Mubai up who's face turned pale and green as he turned to the others and explained how the sausage was made.

Suffice to say, the others shared the same expression as him while Xiao Yan was on the ground laughing.
