Douluo Continent: I've joined forces with Tang San and taken Xiao Wu as my concubine!

Chapter 60, That's not blood, it's myoglobin!

Dugu Yan said, her voice filled with embarrassment and anger.

The previously romantic atmosphere was completely destroyed by Meng Bei's powerful over-the-shoulder throw!

Meng Bei smiled indifferently.

"Hey, I won anyway, so today I'm going to eat grilled beef as my reward, and it has to be made by Sister Yanzi herself!"

"You wish! Let's start over. That was a sneak attack from you, it doesn't count!"

Dugu Yan got up from the ground angrily and said.

Meng Bei shook his head and said:

"I'm not competing anymore. I've used up too much energy today. I absolutely won't have the strength to compete again if I don't get to eat Sister Yanzi's grilled beef."

With that, Meng Bei ran off into the distance.

Win and leave, never giving Dugu Yan a chance to win back.

Dugu Yan stomped her feet in anger, but there was nothing she could do about Meng Bei.

She was absolutely unwilling to admit defeat like that!

In the end, I had no choice but to go to the kitchen.

"Oh well, it's just one meal. I'll definitely beat that guy next time!"

Before long, Dugu Yan came out with a plate of steaming hot roasted meat.

Upon arriving outside Meng Bei's room, Dugu Yan called out in an annoyed tone.

"You've got what you're looking for, you sneak-up guy!"

Meng Bei replied lazily from inside the house:

"The door's unlocked, come in, Sister Yanzi."

Dugu Yan then opened the door and went inside.

Inside the room, Meng Bei sat cross-legged, as if in a meditative posture.

However, he was still shirtless.

Dugu Yan couldn't help but glance at Meng Bei a few more times, but then felt that staring at Meng Bei like that was inappropriate, so she pretended to look around.

It wasn't that she had any romantic feelings for Meng Bei; it was just the instinctive attraction between men and women to attractive men.

This applies to both men and women. If the same scene were to happen to a man, he would also take a second look at a beautiful woman.

Dugu Yan pretended to look at the roof, the floor, and even the slippers on the ground. Her deliberate manner made Meng Bei chuckle inwardly.

This little snake can be quite cute sometimes.

Meng Bei stepped forward and took the baking tray from her hand, which contained steaming hot grilled beef.

The Pan Niu is a relatively common type of soul beast. Its meat is firm and delicious, making it very popular among the nobles of the continent and a staple dish among them.

Unlike ordinary cattle, the Pan Niu is called Pan Niu because during its growth process, in order to resist predators, it covers its entire body with mineral-rich mud, sand, rocks and other substances, which, combined with its unique innate ability, can form a natural rock armor.

The armor's defensive capabilities are secondary; the key point is that the beef within the armor's coverage area is the most delicious, and the flavor varies depending on the mineral resources in different geographical locations!

The braised beef that Dugu Yan made today has a slightly dark red sheen; I wonder what it tastes like.

Meng Bei picked up a piece and savored it carefully.

Hmm, this flavor is myoglobin, the flavor of uncooked protein.

After chewing for a moment, blood bursts in the mouth.

Okay, she didn't even add salt.

Meng Bei's expression remained unchanged; he even showed a look of deliciousness.

"Sister Yanzi, here, you've worked hard, let me feed you a piece!"

Dugu Yan didn't feel anything was wrong; in fact, she was quite touched.

He thought to himself: This guy is actually quite considerate.

However, Meng Bei was still shirtless, so when Meng Bei started feeding her, Dugu Yan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Even when the two were close, Dugu Yan could still sense the aura emanating from Meng Bei.

"No need, I can do it myself."

Meng Bei shook his head and said gently:

"That won't do, I'll feed Sister Yanzi myself!"

As he spoke, Meng Bei picked up a piece and brought it to Dugu Yan's lips.

Since they were naked, their actions were inevitably somewhat intimate.

Dugu Yan's heart skipped a beat, and her thoughts began to wander.

She secretly wondered if Xiao Bei was trying to seduce her. How could that be? She already had Tian Heng, and there was such a big age gap between them. Although she didn't object to a relationship between an older woman and a younger man, and Xiao Bei was handsome and outstanding, but…

Perhaps some people are born with a tendency to overthink, and Dugu Yan is one such person.

In an instant, she thought of many things. Her eyes were fixed on Meng Bei and his upper body. She didn't pay much attention to her mouth as she swallowed the roasted meat and chewed it.

Instantly, blood burst open in her mouth.

"Ugh! Ugh!"

"Meng Bei, you big bastard!"

Dugu Yan's exasperated voice rang out.

Meng Bei laughed and ran out.

Xiao Wu secretly watched the two of them from her room, thinking to herself that Meng Bei was moving too fast. It had only been a few days and things had already developed to this point. He really was good at deceiving young girls!

Not long after, Meng Bei kept his promise and fought Dugu Yan again.

During the battle, Meng Bei deliberately controlled the pace of the fight. In the end, both of them used almost their full strength, and Meng Bei won by a small margin, defeating Dugu Yan.

"I refuse to accept this! I misjudged that move just now; otherwise, I would have won!"

Dugu Yan said angrily.

Meng Bei looked smug.

"The winner takes all, the loser is nothing. Sister Yanzi, you should accept your loss!"

"Tonight's dinner..."

Dugu Yan rolled her eyes at Meng Bei.

"Hmph, dinner it is!"

Aside from mastering combat techniques, the most important thing for a Soul Master is cultivating Soul Power.

Dugu Yan has a special training ground here, which contains a large number of snakes such as the Jade Phosphorous Snake and Bamboo Viper raised by Dugu Bo. For Dugu Yan, whose martial spirit is a snake, this is an excellent training ground.

Meng Bei followed Dugu Yan here, and Dugu Yan was surprised to find that the ferocious snakes that she used to avoid were now incredibly docile when they saw Meng Bei!

A ten-thousand-year-old Jade Phosphorous Snake, which Dugu Bo specially captured and placed here, has already developed intelligence and is the leader of all snakes in this place. However, after meeting Meng Bei, this ten-thousand-year-old Jade Phosphorous Snake acted like a newborn snake, rubbing against Meng Bei with its softest belly scales.

"What's going on?"

Dugu Yan was very surprised.

Meng Bei replied:

"Because soul beasts have much stronger sensory abilities than humans!"

Dugu Yan still didn't understand.

"What do you mean?"

Meng Bei thought for a moment and explained:

"I'm like these snakes' natural enemy; your venom has no effect on me, and these snakes are acutely aware of this, which is why they behave so docilely in my presence!"

"I see."

Dugu Yan nodded.

But in reality, Meng Bei was just making things up.

The reason these snakes were afraid of him was simply the instinctive fear that low-level bloodlines exhibit when encountering high-level bloodlines.

However, Dugu Yan was unaware of this; on the contrary, she felt that Meng Bei's words made a lot of sense.

"If that's the case, then what's going on with this ten-thousand-year-old Jade Phosphorous Serpent? It doesn't seem afraid of you at all!"
