Transmigrating into Huo Yuhao, my abilities are refreshed every month.

"We need to go to the city to buy these things. Hmm, it's still early, let's hurry back." Tang Ya said, ready to leave, but then she remembered the incident in the Star Dou Great Forest. Her pretty face flushed, and her delicate hand hovered in mid-air, no longer daring to reach out to Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao gently nudged Tang Ya's sleeve and said with a smile, "Sister Ya, let's go, you lead the way. Today we can buy more other vegetables and meats. If you can find a place to cook, I'll show you my skills, I guarantee it will be even more delicious than barbecue."

"Really?" Tang Ya exclaimed in surprise. The grilled fish she had eaten last time was the most delicious thing she had ever had, and she couldn't imagine what the even more delicious food Huo Yuhao was talking about would taste like. Tang Ya swallowed hard, eagerly using her soul power to speed up her journey. Seeing that Huo Yuhao couldn't keep up with her pace, she kept urging him on from ahead.

As a foodie, she is truly powerless against the temptation of delicious food.

While Huo Yuhao was cooking, Tang Ya watched intently from the side, blinking her eyes. She really couldn't wait even a minute longer.

In the kitchen that Tang Ya found, Huo Yuhao activated his martial soul and mental detection, and slowly closed his eyes.

Before obtaining his first spirit ring, Huo Yuhao used his spirit eye to assist him in cooking. Today is the first time he's using his mental detection to cook.

Everything in the kitchen was in his mind, but his primary focus was on the ingredients. Each ingredient had its own characteristics, a fact that almost every skilled chef could discern, and Huo Yuhao certainly could as well. Back then, in order to make money, he had thoroughly researched the ingredients and seasonings of the Douluo Continent, hoping to find substitutes for those delicacies on Earth.

With the aid of mental detection, Huo Yuhao could identify the characteristics of ingredients much more easily. In Huo Yuhao's mind, the data for each ingredient was clearly marked, and he could even mark the data down to the millimeter if he wanted to.

Based on this data, Huo Yuhao quickly processed the ingredients using the corresponding methods: salting, mixing with sugar, and some were even placed in his spatial soul tool to maintain freshness.

Next came the cooking. To make it even more delicious, Huo Yuhao increased the output of his mental energy, trying to control the changes and data of every piece of vegetable and every slice of meat. In Huo Yuhao's mind, what he saw was no longer the stove and ingredients, but a sea of ​​data.

He failed with his first dish. It wasn't that he cooked it badly, but rather that he lacked the precise control to handle each ingredient individually, ultimately having to treat the whole thing as a whole. After storing the failed dish in his soul tool, Huo Yuhao fell into deep thought. He realized his current problem was that his soul power and physical abilities couldn't keep up with his mental power. This wasn't just evident in cooking; it had even affected his practical assessment today. Huo Yuhao pondered how to solve this problem.

Tang Ya, who was waiting on the side, watched Xiao Yuhao's dazzling skills and smelled the fragrance in the air. Sweat couldn't help but drip from the corner of her mouth.

Finally, the first dish was served. Tang Ya didn't even bother to pick up chopsticks and was about to start eating with her hands. But in the blink of an eye, the dish that was emitting a rich aroma had disappeared.

Tang Ya rubbed her eyes, but still couldn't see the dish that made her mouth water.

So Xiao Yuhao was put into the soul tool? Was it for Bei Bei? Tang Ya couldn't help but grit her teeth, feeling a little indignant.

Xiao Yuhao invited her out for dinner, but unexpectedly, the first dish he cooked was reserved for Beibei, which made Tang Ya a little jealous.

Based on Huo Yuhao's behavior in the Star Dou Great Forest, she originally thought that Xiao Yuhao had ulterior motives towards her. She had already considered whether she should refuse or half-heartedly accept if Xiao Yuhao made a move on her tonight, and if she refused, to what extent should she make Xiao Yuhao do it before she refused again.

Tang Ya couldn't help but recall the feeling of that instant touch, and felt weak all over and her mouth dry.

And now, when Xiao Yuhao finished cooking the first dish, his first thought was to save it for Beibei?!

Could it be that Xiao Yuhao's real target is Beibei, not her?

Tang Ya was shocked to realize that Xiao Yuhao had seduced her into depravity so that Bei Bei would see her shamefulness, recognize her true colors, and then leave her for his embrace? Tang Ya felt she had discovered the truth.

No wonder she felt that Beibei had become more distant from her. It turned out that Xiaoyuhao had already launched an offensive against Beibei without her knowing.

Little Yuhao, you're so cunning!

Tang Ya, you'd better be careful in the future, don't fall into Xiao Yuhao's trap.

Tang Ya came to her senses and looked at Huo Yuhao again with wariness and scrutiny in her eyes.

Huo Yuhao was still unaware of Tang Ya's brainstorming session. He was contemplating how to match his physical abilities with his mental power. Fortunately, he had Electrolux's memories to draw upon, and he quickly identified a direction for his practice.

Huo Yuhao immediately began preparing the second dish. This time, he didn't aim too high; instead, he categorized the ingredients with similar values ​​and then performed the same meticulous operations on each category. At the same time, he used his soul power to assist in handling the ingredients, multitasking to control various ingredients and the cooking time.

Once the second dish is ready, store it in the Soul Guidance Device.

The third, fourth, fifth...

Tang Ya was starving, but she didn't disturb Xiao Yuhao. Instead, she stayed by his side. She realized that Xiao Yuhao was in a state of sudden enlightenment.

Tang Ya was so envious that she could have an epiphany while cooking. She didn't know if she was too bad at cooking or if Xiao Yuhao was too amazing. Tears of envy streamed down her face.

Heavens behold, she had been standing there for hours, watching Xiao Yuhao put plate after plate of delicious food into his soul tool, while she could only smell the aroma and swallow her saliva – it was pure torture.

When will she finally get to taste Xiaoyuhao's cooking?

Finally, Huo Yuhao emerged from his enlightenment after using up all the ingredients in his soul tool.

Tang Ya immediately rushed over, "Xiao Yuhao, you have to make it up to me!"

Huo Yuhao, still not understanding what was happening: Huh?

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 21 Sister Xiaoya, can you help me with my cultivation?

It was already late at night, and the soul-guided lamps emitted a faint glow, illuminating the young men and women at the dining table.

"Mmm—Xiao Yuhao, this is so delicious!" Tang Ya's cheeks were stuffed full, making her look like a little hamster.

"Sister Xiaoya, you should swallow what's in your mouth before picking up other dishes." Huo Yuhao helplessly used his chopsticks to stop Tang Ya's chopsticks. He felt that if he didn't stop her, Tang Ya might choke to death.

"It's okay, it's okay, I can eat it!" Tang Ya said nonchalantly.

"Sister Xiaoya, thank you so much for protecting me today," Huo Yuhao said.

"Of course." Tang Ya waved her hand to tell Huo Yuhao not to worry, then asked with some curiosity, "Little Yuhao, what have you realized?"

Huo Yuhao recalled his feelings at the time and replied, "I think I understood my cultivation direction for a period of time afterward. As you know, I have good control over my mental power, but I neglected the training of my soul power and relied on my mental power too much. I also gained some insights into the application of mental power and the control of soul power, as well as the ability to multitask. I also gained some insights into soul skills."

Tang Ya suddenly felt her food wasn't enjoying its flavor anymore. How could he glean so much from cooking? She was so envious; why didn't she have such a high level of understanding? Tang Ya took a vicious bite of the rabbit leg, turning her grief and anger into appetite.

"Sister Xiaoya, do you think it would be feasible for me to sell these recipes to any restaurant in Shrek City?" Huo Yuhao suddenly asked.

This was the reason he invited Tang Ya and Bei Bei out today. He earned his first fortune using this method back in Xingluo City.

Tang Ya pondered for a moment before solemnly saying, "It's feasible, but most people probably don't have your culinary skills. However, you should still be able to make a lot of money. How about this, I'm quite busy tomorrow, and I'll accompany you to ask around at various restaurants the day after tomorrow."

"I didn't realize Sister Xiaoya could be so reliable when she wants to be." Huo Yuhao smiled as he looked at Tang Ya's earnest face and thanked her.

"Thank you, Sister Xiaoya."

"As for cooking skills, the results won't be too bad if you follow the recipes, and I can even train those chefs for a few days. But it also depends on what price they're willing to pay. Earning money is for cultivation, and I can't let it interfere with my cultivation."

Tang Ya said earnestly, "Xiao Yuhao, I'm relieved that you realize this. You must remember that cultivation is the foundation of everything. Things like cooking skills and making money are only for your better cultivation."

"Finally, I'm full!" Tang Ya stretched, revealing her budding, beautiful figure, after a satisfying meal. Seeing that it was already late, Tang Ya said with a hint of annoyance, "It's so late, looks like I can't go home tonight. I'll have to go back to school early tomorrow morning."

A faint darkness flickered in Tang Ya's phoenix eyes. Tang Ya quietly moved closer to Huo Yuhao, her breath brushing against his cheek, and whispered, "Naughty little brother, cultivate properly tonight, and don't get any funny ideas. I'm a Soul Master now, you know."

Huo Yuhao noticed a change in Tang Ya's demeanor and realized that her martial soul, Dark Blue Silver Grass, was influencing her again. So, was Tang Ya tempting him or warning him just now?

Huo Yuhao was too lazy to delve into it; it was pointless.

"Sister Xiaoya, I can't go back to school tonight, could you help me with my cultivation?"

Tang Ya tilted her head. "How can I help?"

Huo Yuhao looked troubled. "There's something wrong with my martial soul. I don't know why, but whenever I come into contact with a girl, I can't control my mental energy, and it makes the girl act strangely. You've experienced this, Sister Xiaoya. In Shrek Academy, Sister Xiaoya is the only girl I know. Sister Xiaoya, can you help me find out what's wrong with my martial soul?"

Tang Ya's expression turned serious. "So that's how it is? A problem with your martial soul is no small matter. It should be resolved as soon as possible. Xiao Yuhao, how can I help you? If all else fails, should we ask the teacher after your classes start?"

Huo Yuhao smiled shyly, "I want to know what's going on first. I still don't know how a martial soul can affect others, so let's just have some physical contact like we did in the Star Dou Great Forest. I need to carefully sense the abnormality in my mental power before I can find a solution."

"Ah, let's get to know each other." Tang Ya's expression was a little reluctant, but there was a hint of expectation in her eyes.

After hesitating for a moment, Tang Ya reached out her hand, closed her eyes, and said with a look of grim determination, "Xiao Yuhao, you do it. But don't tell Beibei about this. Just... just keep it a secret between the two of us."

Huo Yuhao readily agreed with a smile.

Looking at the delicate girl in front of him with her eyes closed and her long eyelashes fluttering, Huo Yuhao did not rush to hold her hands.

Huo Yuhao slowly grasped Tang Ya's wrist through her clothes, held it up to his eyes, and carefully examined the girl's delicate hand.

The girl's fingers were slender and long, like the tips of newly sprouted bamboo shoots after the rain. Her jade-like hands were as delicate as tender shoots, making one want to hold them in their mouth.

Huo Yuhao gently placed his palm against the girl's jade-like hand, their fingers intertwined, their ten fingers joined together.

Tang Ya's petite figure slowly leaned into his arms.

"Hmm~"

The darkness of night concealed the captivating sounds.

It can only be said that people's physical condition cannot be generalized. Wang Dong lost consciousness after a short time, while Tang Ya was able to remain in a semi-conscious state.

Huo Yuhao only shook hands for thirty seconds and did nothing else.

He wasn't in a hurry. Ma Su had once said, "To conquer a city is inferior; to conquer a heart is superior." Huo Yuhao thought this was a brilliant insight from the Chief Military Advisor.

If all he wanted was a fleeting moment of pleasure, Huo Yuhao would naturally not let such an opportunity pass. However, that wasn't the case. He wanted to see Tang Ya fall into depravity, but not completely; rather, she would fall only for him. That kind of girl was the most captivating, like a poppy blooming only for you.

Therefore, it's time to stop.

He had witnessed something similar in his past life. Gradually become involved in the girl's life, becoming an important part of it, even a pillar. Then, slowly strip away her existing social connections, causing her friends and family to misunderstand, fail to comprehend, and distance themselves from her. In the end, she will realize that the only person she can rely on is you, and everyone else's attention to her is only because of you. At that point, you will be everything to that girl.

Afterwards, Huo Yuhao carefully checked Tang Ya's physical condition and found that there was nothing wrong, so he settled Tang Ya on the only bed.

He returned to the Sea of ​​Spirit and saw that the solidification task in the Soul Master column had been completed, so he nodded in satisfaction.

The night was long, and Huo Yuhao sat cross-legged on the ground, lost in meditation.

Tang Ya's eyelids twitched slightly as she secretly glanced at Huo Yuhao, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground in meditation, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.

This is all she can do; any more would be unfair to Beibei.

As for holding hands, that doesn't count!

Unconsciously, Tang Ya squeezed her round, jade-like legs, which seemed to be glistening with moisture, together and drifted off to sleep.

The next morning, Beibei paced back and forth in front of Shrek Academy, looking anxious.

He only found out in the morning that Tang Ya hadn't returned to her dorm last night, and that Tang Ya and Xiao Yuhao had gone to Shrek City. Had something happened? He immediately rushed to the school gate.

Before long, Beibei saw Tang Ya and her younger brother Yuhao walking towards him, chatting and laughing. Tang Ya also saw him, waved to him from afar, and ran back quickly.
