Peerless: You've already become a Title Douluo, and this is the first time you've come to

Chapter 26 I will let her live the life she deserves.

"The Song of Chu"

"Can I call you that?"

I don't know how much time passed.

On the way to Shrek City, Ma Xiaotao suddenly stopped, looked up slightly at the young man beside her, and spoke.

"certainly."

Chu Ge nodded in acknowledgment, his expression calm.

"Is there anything you like to eat?"

"There are quite a few good places to eat around here at the academy. I don't know what I should treat you to."

Ma Xiaotao looked thoughtful, glancing at the rows of shops standing outside the academy, clearly unable to choose one.

For someone who suffers from decision-making difficulties to some extent, choosing things is truly a very difficult task.

"Anything is fine with me, I'm not picky."

"Or if you have a favorite food that you would recommend, that would be great."

Chu Ge pondered for a moment, then spoke frankly.

What he really wanted to say was that he wasn't that hungry, but noticing that the person in front of him was really trying to think, he figured that eating a little wouldn't be a problem.

"My top recommendation is..."

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao's eyes lit up instantly. Clearly, after the other party's guidance, she had found the answer in her heart.

"Chu Ge, come with me."

"That restaurant has amazing grilled fish, let's have grilled fish there!"

With a smile on her face, she spoke and gestured for the other person to follow her toward a grilled fish restaurant.

"Um……"

Hearing this, Chu Ge nodded, but his mind was filled with thought. A grilled fish restaurant?

If it's a grilled fish restaurant, it's probably one he's been to before.

Sure enough, not long after, the two arrived at a grilled fish restaurant called Haochidian, the same restaurant that Chu Ge had visited with the two children before.

"Boss, two skewers of grilled fish, please."

Ma Xiaotao walked over and skillfully took out a few copper coins from her soul tool. She quickly bought two skewers of grilled fish and handed him the slightly larger and more fragrant one.

"Chu Ge, this grilled fish is delicious."

"You should try it."

With a smile on her face, Ma Xiaotao handed it to him while slowly introducing it.

"It looks really good."

Chu Ge accepted it, without telling the other party that he had already eaten the food from this restaurant, and offered his support.

"Of course."

"This grilled fish is the same all over Shrek City, of course it's delicious."

Ma Xiaotao responded with a smile, giving a thumbs-up as she spoke, clearly indicating that she really liked this grilled fish restaurant.

That's right.

Chu Ge nodded. It was true that the grilled fish was delicious, and it was also true that Ma Xiaotao didn't have much experience in treating people to meals.

You should know...

Who invites someone to dinner by buying grilled fish from a roadside stall?

"Hmm? That's...?"

Chu Ge quickly finished the grilled fish and his gaze soon fell on the two girls who were walking towards the shop. They were Huo Yudie and Tang Wutong, the two best friends.

"Rain Butterfly, Dancing Paulownia".

His voice wasn't loud, but Huo Yudie seemed to have a telepathic connection, spotting his direction at a glance, a smile appearing on her face.

"Master."

Immediately, she grabbed Tang Wutong, who was still lost in thought, and jogged towards her, quickly arriving at her side.

"Master?"

Ma Xiaotao was stunned for a moment, even stopping her eating the grilled fish. She hadn't expected the other party to have such a cute apprentice.

"Brother Chu."

"This lady is...?"

Tang Wutong also looked at Chu Ge, but her gaze inadvertently fell on Ma Xiaotao beside her, filled with curiosity.

Could this be... Brother Chu's girlfriend?

Huo Yudie felt the same way, and her doubts were even stronger.

"This is Xiao Tao, a disciple of Dean Yan Shaozhe of the academy, and also your senior in the inner academy. The dean sent her to show me around the city."

"She's already a Soul Emperor, a role model you should all learn from."

Chu Ge smiled slightly and explained.

"What role model? He's just someone with a little bit of talent."

Hearing this, Ma Xiaotao felt a little embarrassed and quickly shook her head.

"Xiao Tao, this is my disciple Xiao Yudie, and her good friend Wu Tong, two very cute girls."

Soon, faced with Chu Ge's adorable comment, Huo Yudie and Tang Wutong blushed slightly, feeling quite pleased with themselves.

"My two younger sisters, now that you're here..."

"Your sister is treating you to grilled fish."

Ma Xiaotao's gaze fell on the grilled fish shop. As she spoke, she went over and bought two large skewers of grilled fish, one for each of them.

"Thank you, Sister Xiaotao. You and Brother Chu/Master go ahead with your work. We won't bother you any longer."

The two girls were flattered by Ma Xiaotao's act of feeding them and thanked her sweetly.

Having said that, seemingly afraid of interfering with the conversation between the two people in front of her, she didn't plan to stay there any longer. After all, Senior Sister Xiaotao wouldn't be with the other person all the time; it was just this time.

You're welcome~

Watching the two women leave, Ma Xiaotao smiled and shook her head, simply watching them go.

No one can dislike a cute little girl, and she is no exception.

"Chu Ge, that cute little sister is your disciple? I didn't expect you to have already taken on disciples."

Ma Xiaotao quickly turned her gaze back to the person beside her, and said with a mixture of curiosity and surprise.

"yes."

Chu Ge smiled and nodded. Although the experience was quite fantastical, having such a disciple was still very good.

"That's amazing."

"I didn't expect you to have a disciple at such a young age."

Ma Xiaotao said sincerely.

Despite being the same age, she was still trying to suppress her evil fire from erupting while cultivating, while the other already had a little disciple. Perhaps this is the difference between people.

"Won't that leave less time for cultivation?"

She couldn't help but ask, "Teaching students must take a lot of time, let alone the fact that the other person has come to Shrek Academy as a teacher."

"Wasting cultivation power... well, it's alright."

Chu Ge didn't care too much. With the system rewards, his soul power was increasing very quickly. Last night, just absorbing the soul bone gave him a level of soul power.

The Exploding Endless Right Arm Bone and the 100,000-Year Bright Wisdom Skull—even absorbing only these two pieces—raised his cultivation level by two levels.

This is the fastest way to level up!

"Could you tell me why you've decided to take on apprentices?"

Unable to suppress her inner doubts, Ma Xiaotao looked at the person in front of her and couldn't help but ask.

Although she thought the other person was very capable, at this age, taking on a disciple was unnecessary; improving one's own cultivation was the most important thing.

"Why did you take on apprentices...?"

"It must be fate."

Chu Ge couldn't explain it either. How could he know why Huo Yudie had wanted to become his disciple? Perhaps it was fate.

"destiny?"

Ma Xiaotao listened intently.

"She's all alone now. Fate made me her teacher, so I'll take good care of her."

"Am I all alone now?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao's expression visibly froze, and her smile vanished.

She was once an orphan, but her teacher took her in, which is why she has everything she has today.

"Her family has all passed away."

"The enemy is still here."

Hearing this, she felt even more anxious.

She dared not imagine how she, as a little girl, could go on like this.

"I will give her the life she deserves."

Chu Ge said with a smile on his face.

This is not just about helping her.

It's also a way to give an explanation to Xiao Yuhao, who was easily led astray due to a lack of love and was later trained like a dog.

But he was not Yu Die after all.

Her mother's passing was inevitable, but she still had a loving brother, and she would not follow the path of being tamed...

"Take care of her."

"Live the life you're meant to live."

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao was momentarily distracted.

The scene of being taken home by the teacher vaguely surfaced in my mind.

Teachers also hope to have a better life.

It has always been this way.

Combined with Huo Yudie's previous happy smile, at this moment, Chu Ge's image in her eyes also became much more impressive.
