Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue

Chapter 36 How could you eat the people of your own ancestors?

"What did you call me?" Xiaoya's beautiful eyes widened.

"Okay, Ms. Xiaoya, is that alright now?" The boy raised his hands, making a gesture of surrender.

"That's more like it. Remember your place!"

Qian Renxue looked at the two with a strange expression. According to her investigation, they were about the same age, but one of them was the other's teacher? What kind of strange quirk was this? A love story between teacher and student?

As she thought about it, Qian Renxue couldn't help but feel a little envious... because if a master and disciple could be a little more loving and affectionate, perhaps her childhood would have been more comfortable.

Huo Yuhao glanced at the two casually, not paying much attention. Since Sister Qian had agreed to let them join the dinner temporarily, he naturally had no objections. He first divided the grilled fish among Qian Renxue and Xue Di, and then handed them to the other two.

The young man smiled slightly and said, "A gentleman does not take what others cherish. Little brother, you haven't eaten yet. Did you catch these fish from the river?"

Huo Yuhao nodded and said, "It's okay, I can grill more." As he spoke, he stood up and handed the grilled fish to the boy, then skillfully placed the other two prepared fish on the wooden rack and continued grilling.

The boy smiled gently and said, "My name is Beibei, and her name is Tang Ya. Little brother, what's your name?"

"My name is Huo Yuhao." After briefly introducing himself, Huo Yuhao continued working with his head down.

Xue Di was quietly eating to the side when she suddenly noticed that Qian Renxue hadn't touched her food much, so she nudged her and asked, "What's wrong? Aren't you hungry?"

"It's alright, I'm not too hungry," Qian Renxue said.

Huo Yuhao looked up: "What's wrong, sister? Did I cook something bad?"

"No, your cooking tastes great, it's just that I don't like eating fish." Qian Renxue shook her head.

"You don't like eating fish? Why is that, young lady?" Beibei asked with some interest.

"?" Qian Renxue glanced at him, thinking to herself, "Why do you care what I like to eat or what I don't like to eat?"

"So what if I love eating rabbit meat and don't like eating fish?"

"This..." Beibei didn't react for a moment. Why did this girl speak with such a sharp tone?

"You like to eat rabbits?" Tang Ya became alert. "Rabbits are so cute, why would you eat them?"

Not only is the rabbit adorable, but it is also the wife of their Tang Sect ancestor. Although she doesn't know how a human and a soul beast can fall in love, it doesn't stop her from considering the rabbit as her ancestor as well.

"Aren't fish born in water? Aren't they the children of the sea god? I heard you're also surnamed Tang, so why do you like to eat the children of your own ancestors?" Qian Renxue said impatiently. "Xiao Huo, are you done yet? If you're done, get ready to leave."

"No! You can't leave! This fish is so delicious, I've never had such good grilled fish before. Little brother Huo Yuhao, how about I hire you as my chef? Okay?" Tang Ya immediately said.

Upon hearing Qian Renxue's words, Huo Yuhao naturally ignored Bei Bei and the others, stood up, and said, "Brother Bei, Sister Tang, I have to go now."

Beibei asked, "Brother Huo, there are two other girls here. We're in the middle of nowhere, not far from the Star Dou Great Forest where soul beasts roam. Where are you headed?"

Huo Yuhao shook his head, picked the clothes that were almost dry from the tree branch, put them in his backpack, smiled at the two of them, and waved goodbye. Under Tang Ya's somewhat surprised gaze, he and Qian Renxue Xue Di turned and left.

"Are they heading to the Star Dou Great Forest?" Tang Ya asked thoughtfully, watching the three of them walk away.

"I don't know, but judging from their group, it seems to be led by that blonde girl. But for some reason, she seems to dislike us," Beibei said. "And, her words seemed to be directed at our ancestors..."

"Huh? Really?" Tang Ya didn't react. "She just said she doesn't like eating fish... It's not that serious, is it?" Bei Bei looked helplessly at her somewhat eccentric teacher or girlfriend: "She says she likes to eat rabbit, but at the same time she's implying that you're eating the children of the Sea God. Isn't that mocking Tang San's ancestor?"

"Oh..." Tang Ya shrank her neck. "It's really a pity... It's such a waste of a good chef. I was thinking of seeing if I could invite them to join the Tang Clan."

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

Tang Ya blushed when her secret was exposed and stuck out her tongue at Bei Bei.

Beibei thought for a moment: "Actually, this young man Huo doesn't seem to be like those two girls. His clothes are simple, so he must be from a poor family. Also, he has some soul power fluctuations. If possible, we could consider absorbing him. As for the other two..."

A ruthless glint flashed in Bei Bei's eyes: "They may look like some kind of young ladies, but they insulted Tang San's ancestor, so they deserve to die!"

"It can't be that serious, can it?" Tang Ya was startled. "They're not that badly hurt, are they? You want to follow them and kill them?"

"This is called prevention, you can call me wise. Let's go, having eaten their grilled fish, we naturally have an obligation to turn them back from the wrong path. I just checked those two girls; their soul power fluctuations are very small, they're no match for us at all." Bei Bei flicked his clothes, speaking mysteriously. He was just like his ancestor from ten thousand years ago, Yu Xiaogang.

Tang Ya chuckled, "Okay, okay, you're really smart. Wait for me a moment, I'll clean up a bit and then I'll be off."

-

After traveling together for a while, Qian Renxue and the other two saw a wooden sign: "Fifty miles ahead, you will enter the Star Dou Great Forest. Soul beasts may appear. Please be careful."

Qian Renxue twirled her hair. Not long ago, when she first came out of the Star Dou Forest, she hadn't taken this path, so she hadn't seen this sign. But now, does the Star Dou Great Forest have to warn outsiders of danger from fifty miles away? Are the activity ranges of spirit beasts even extending beyond the Star Dou Great Forest now?

Doesn't that mean that human soul masters in this era are actually weaker than soul beasts in general? If soul beasts were to attack human cities, how could humans possibly stop them?

This wouldn't have happened 10,000 years ago.

At that time, the Star Dou Great Forest wasn't just inhabited by the monkey and the water python, who were merely sent out as gatekeepers by the ferocious beasts of the Lake of Life. The other 100,000-year-old soul beasts had simply fled the area due to the oppressive aura emanating from the Lake of Life.

"Xiao Huo, you're getting ready to go on a soul hunt, so we'll probably have to say goodbye for a while," Qian Renxue said.

"Sister, are you leaving?" Huo Yuhao asked, a little disappointed.

"We're headed to the Sun and Moon Empire in the west of the continent. You don't mean to come with us, do you?" Xue Di glanced at him and said.

"This..." Huo Yuhao hesitated.

"It's not that we don't want to take you there, but it's not suitable for your cultivation," Qian Renxue said. "The martial spirit cultivation in the Sun Moon Empire is inferior to that of the original Three Kingdoms period in Douluo Continent. Otherwise, the Sun Moon Empire might have been the victor in the world war four thousand years ago. You've probably heard of that, right?"

"Yes, yes! My mom told me this story." Huo Yuhao nodded.

"So, if you don't know which way to go next, you can consider joining a sect after you obtain your first spirit ring. Cultivating in a sect is much more convenient than being a lone cultivator." Qian Renxue took out a bag from her storage spirit tool. "There are some gold spirit coins in here. Take them."

"Sister, I can't accept this." Huo Yuhao shook his head.

"Take it if I give it to you," Qian Renxue said. "Didn't you say you wanted to take revenge on the Duke's mansion? I don't like the Duke's mansion either, so consider this my investment in you."

Huo Yuhao hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to accept the money bag, as he was indeed short of money.

Finally, finally, my collection has surpassed 200! I'm so happy! Seeing other authors' collections skyrocketing makes me a little envious, so I'm posting an extra chapter today! It'll also help me finish this part quickly. After this part is over, Qian Renxue will go to the Sun Moon Empire to develop her skills. She'll return for the Soul Master Tournament. At that time, she'll lead her first batch of comrades to dethrone Shrek Academy from their so-called world number one ranking.

In addition, while this book is indeed a fan fiction, the author will not follow the original storyline exactly. Otherwise, it would be too similar to reading the original work again, so it will be a completely new story.

However, some major events will still be covered, so please look forward to it!

Please add this to your favorites, please follow this story, please... please give me a monthly pass and a recommendation vote!
