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

Elder Yi could teach him how to create his own godhood and how to open up new planes. Huo Yuhao felt that if his own cheat ability wasn't powerful enough, Elder Yi would be his guarantee of breaking free from the control of the Great God King Tang.

Therefore, this trip to the Star Dou Great Forest was something he was determined to do.

Huo Yuhao put aside his thoughts, caught a few fish by the river as usual, and started a fire to make the famous Yuhao Grilled Fish from the Douluo Continent fan fiction world of his previous life.

He sprinkles his specially prepared seasonings little by little on each part of the grilled fish, carefully controlling the heat with his "spiky eyes" to ensure the aroma penetrates every strand of the fish.

As Huo Yuhao flipped the two skewers of grilled fish, they slowly became crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, turning a golden brown that made one's mouth water just looking at them. Before long, the rich aroma of the grilled fish filled the entire grove of trees.

"smell good!"

A delighted cry rang out, the voice clear and melodious.

Huo Yuhao looked in the direction the sound came from and saw a man and a woman coming along the stream.

Walking in front was a girl of about fourteen or fifteen years old, with long black hair tied in a ponytail that cascaded down her back. What was most eye-catching was her light blue outfit, which accentuated her figure and exuded youthful energy. Black stockings tightly hugged her long, shapely, and straight legs, the length just past her knees, revealing a glimpse of fair skin in conjunction with the short skirt.

The girl's bright, phoenix-shaped eyes were fixed on the grilled fish in Huo Yuhao's eyes, her mouth watering, she was practically ready to pounce on it, she looked every bit the foodie.

Following behind the girl was a boy of similar age, with short blue hair, a gentle face, and an air of refinement.

They're here! The messengers and outposts to collect the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm Token cheat—Tang Ya and Bei Bei. Huo Yuhao was overjoyed.

If you encounter these two outside the Star Dou Great Forest who are here to hunt for Tang Ya's third spirit ring, then continue exploring. The path ahead will be the starting point of your extraordinary life.

Huo Yuhao breathed a sigh of relief, his heart overflowing with joy.

Before, he was uneasy about whether he would encounter Tianmeng Ice Silkworm. But meeting these two people here put his mind at ease.

According to the plot, he should be able to meet Tianmeng Bingcan and win over Ilex soon, right?

Tianmeng and Elder Yi, I, Huo Yuhao, have arrived! From now on, if I, Huo Yuhao, have a bite to eat, I will definitely give you a bite to drink. You must come and find me!

Huo Yuhao snapped out of his daze and looked at the girl who had already skipped over to him in a few steps.

She was half-squatting on the ground, her clear, bright phoenix eyes fixed on the grilled fish. Her nostrils flared slightly as she inhaled the aroma in the air, and her pink tongue darted across the corner of her mouth, revealing an alluring expression.

Huo Yuhao's lips twitched slightly. What kind of foodie could show such a tempting little expression in front of delicious food? It's a pity that Beibei behind her didn't see it.

Huo Yuhao moved the grilled fish to the left, and Tang Ya's gaze followed. Huo Yuhao then moved the grilled fish to the right, and Tang Ya's gaze followed again. Tang Ya looked like a puppy waiting to be fed by its owner, her eyes filled with longing.

"Cough cough!"

Seeing this, Beibei quickly coughed twice to remind the out-of-control Tang Ya.

Tang Ya then looked away, forcing back the craving in her mouth, and said, "Little brother, do you sell your grilled fish? It smells so good! How did you make it?"

"Do not sell!"

Huo Yuhao shook his head.

Before the girl could feel disappointed, Huo Yuhao handed her a grilled fish. Although he didn't like the Tang Sect, Tang Ya's expression just now was too tempting, so he gave her the grilled fish as a reward.

"My grilled fish is nothing special. It's fate that we met. I'll treat you two to it."

"Thank you, little brother! I won't be polite!" Tang Ya said as she quickly took the grilled fish, sat down without any regard for her image, and shouted "Hot!" But her pearly teeth didn't hesitate. With a gentle bite and a flick of her tongue, the golden-yellow and tender fish meat quickly disappeared between her cherry lips.

The boy who was with the girl had also come over. He first waved to Huo Yuhao with a helpless expression, and then scolded the girl with affection, "Xiaoya, this young man hasn't eaten yet, but you've started eating first."

Xiaoya's beautiful eyes widened, and she said angrily, "What did you call me?"

The boy immediately raised his hands in surrender, "Okay, Teacher Xiaoya, is that alright now?"

Xiaoya rolled her eyes at him and said, "That's more like it. You should be mindful of your status."

Huo Yuhao watched this scene with great interest. It was clear that the two people in front of him had a very good relationship, it was just a pity that they were teacher and student.

It's important to understand that the social structure and customs of the Douluo World are more similar to those of an ancient feudal society. In this world, a teacher-student relationship can be considered an incestuous one.

Huo Yuhao felt that the two might need his help to resolve their relationship issues in the future. He was always happy to help others, and even if there were no problems, he would create them to help them.

Huo Yuhao handed another grilled fish to Bei Bei, "Want some?"

Beibei waved her hand and smiled slightly.

"A gentleman does not take what others cherish. Young man, you haven't eaten yet!"

"It's alright, there are still two fish here, you can eat first!"

Huo Yuhao handed the grilled fish to Bei Bei and then skillfully started grilling two other good fish that were on the ground.

Beibei smiled gently, holding the grilled fish in her hand but not eating it, and said, "I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Beibei, and her name is Tang Ya. Young man, what's your name?"

"Huo Yuhao," Huo Yuhao replied while diligently grilling the fish.

After Huo Yuhao finished grilling the second batch of fish, Tang Ya, whose mouth was full of oil, eagerly grabbed another one.

This time, with Beibei's deliberate waiting, the three of them finally ate grilled fish together.

"This is so delicious! I've never had such good grilled fish before. Little brother Yuhao, how about I hire you as my chef? What do you say?" Tang Ya stretched contentedly, her curves on full display, completely oblivious to her own presence.

"Do you have money, Teacher Xiaoya?" Beibei poured cold water on the idea from the side.

"Uh... there will be more later." Tang Ya sat up awkwardly, glared at Bei Bei, and seemed quite unhappy with his sabotage.

After finishing the grilled fish, Huo Yuhao tidied up his belongings and said goodbye to the two of them, "I'm leaving now, Sister Xiaoya, Brother Beibei, goodbye!"

Beibei quickly said, "Brother Huo, this is the middle of nowhere, and it's not far from the Star Dou Great Forest where soul beasts roam. Where are you going?"

Huo Yuhao waved his hand dismissively without even turning his head, and said perfunctorily, "I'm just taking a stroll. See you two again sometime!"

Chapter 3 Distress

"He's probably heading to the Star Dou Great Forest, right?" Tang Ya muttered as she watched Huo Yuhao leave.

Beibei shook her head. "It's hard to say. I can vaguely sense that he has soul power, but it's very weak. If he goes to the Star Dou Great Forest in this state, he'll be in danger even if he encounters a ten-year-old soul beast. But the direction he left in was indeed the direction of the Star Dou Great Forest, which is indeed a bit strange."

Tang Ya seemed to be thinking, "It has soul power, huh? How about absorbing it into our Tang Sect?"

Beibei said irritably, "You're not trying to become their disciple just because their grilled fish is delicious, are you?"

Tang Ya's pretty face turned red when she was told something that was on her mind, and she stuck out her tongue at Beibei.

Beibei pondered, "Speaking of which, this young man Huo seems to know us?"

Tang Ya asked doubtfully, "Really?"

Beibei scolded helplessly, "Your eyes were glued to the grilled fish, of course you didn't notice. He paused for a moment when he first saw us, which I noticed. I was worried he had ulterior motives, so I waited for Brother Huo to eat the grilled fish first, but you just started eating it without saying a word."

"You didn't remind me, how was I supposed to know!" Tang Ya said coquettishly.

"But Brother Huo's grilled fish is so delicious, he must be a good person too! So there's no need to be so wary. Look, we're fine, aren't we? My little disciple Beibei, you have to trust my judgment!" Tang Ya patted Beibei's shoulder gently and said proudly.

Beibei smiled wryly, "Great Tang Sect Master Tang Ya, how did you come to the conclusion that people who eat delicious grilled fish must be good people?"

"Hmph, tell me, has Brother Huo been plotting anything against us?" Tang Ya snorted, then asked, "So, Bei Bei, should we recruit Brother Huo into our Tang Clan?"

Beibei said, "There are only the two of us in the Tang Sect now, and your ambition is to restore the Tang Sect. We can't recruit those people with top talents. Brother Huo seems very calm and composed. Although his soul power is relatively low, our Tang Sect can only recruit disciples like him."

"Moreover, it also depends on whether Brother Huo is willing. Perhaps Brother Huo will not agree."

"Sigh," Tang Ya sighed, thinking of the current state of the Tang Clan. She wasn't actually enthusiastic about restoring the Tang Clan as Bei Bei had suggested; what she truly wanted was revenge. However, she couldn't reveal her hatred to Bei Bei, fearing interference from Bei Bei and Shrek Academy. Therefore, she could only use the restoration of the Tang Clan as an excuse and a means to an end; only in this way could she prevent the increasingly intense hatred from eroding her mind.

Tang Ya's spirits dipped for a moment, but then she regained her fighting spirit. "Don't worry, I, the sect leader, will personally recruit Brother Huo. I'm sure I can bring him into our Tang Sect!"

Tang Ya stood up, dusted off her clothes, and said, "Let's set off quickly. Brother Huo has entered the Star Dou Great Forest alone. If we catch up with him, we can protect him."

Beibei also got up and followed the energetic Tang Ya.

Huo Yuhao was naturally unaware of Tang Ya and Bei Bei's conversation. But based on the original plot, he could guess that the two might follow them.

He was going to "coincidentally" run into Tianmeng later, and he couldn't let the two of them see him. With that in mind, Huo Yuhao quickened his pace.

Not long after they started walking, a wooden sign by the roadside caught Huo Yuhao's attention.

"Fifty miles ahead we will enter the Star Dou Forest. There are soul beasts in and out. Please pay attention to safety."

Huo Yuhao felt a surge of excitement, but at the same time, he couldn't help but become more vigilant. In the original story, Huo Yuhao encountered the Godslayer Wind Baboon shortly after passing this sign. After narrowly escaping death, he met the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

Huo Yuhao gripped the White Tiger Dagger tightly, channeling his soul power into his eyes so he could react instantly to any danger.

The Spirit Eye Martial Soul gave him a significant boost to his eyesight, allowing him to see not only more details but also farther.

As Huo Yuhao's gaze swept across the landscape, the scenery of the Star Dou Great Forest came into view. The ubiquitous Blue Silver Grass emitted a faint glow, and the dense bushes provided excellent concealment for the small-sized soul beasts.

Huo Yuhao knew that with his current level 10 soul power, he was in danger even when encountering some strong ten-year soul beasts, let alone hundred-year soul beasts. Therefore, he had to be extremely careful.

The unique life force of the forest permeates everywhere, and as you go deeper, the surrounding environment becomes more and more tranquil, as if it wants to swallow the intruder.

As he walked forward, Huo Yuhao's sharp eyes spotted two ears twitching in the bushes ahead.

Huo Yuhao gripped the White Tiger Dagger tightly in his right hand, holding it horizontally in front of him, while slowly retreating to avoid startling the soul beast in front of him.

He figured he'd probably gone the wrong way; those two long ears in the bushes couldn't possibly be the ears of a baboon.

Faced with potential danger, Huo Yuhao could only temporarily suppress his feelings of disappointment. He decided to retreat first and then search for the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm again.

Huo Yuhao stared intently at the long ears, taking a step back, afraid of startling the other party.

One step, two steps, three steps...

Huo Yuhao silently counted in his mind, one hundred steps, one hundred and ten—

Just as Huo Yuhao thought he could leave safely, the bushes where the long-eared soul beast was located swayed in the distance, and a pair of pink eyes appeared from between the leaves, emitting a faint light, staring intently in his direction.
