Douluo Continent: Huo Yuhao's Path of the Knights

When Meng Hongchen arrived at the grilled fish stall, there was already a long queue.

After glancing at the time and confirming that the grilled fish stall wouldn't be leaving anytime soon, Meng Hongchen didn't cut in line but instead patiently joined the queue.

The fish grilling stall owner wasn't slow at grilling fish; it only took a few moments before it was Meng Hongchen's turn.

After glancing at the sign on the stall that read "Limit of five per person," Meng Hongchen spoke softly:

Five grilled fish.

"OK."

After receiving the order, the owner of the grilled fish stall began grilling the fish.

Because her mind was focused on the grilled fish, Meng Hongchen only gave the grilled fish stall owner a rude glance.

Contrary to her expectations, the owner of the grilled fish stall was a handsome, youthful-looking boy with blue hair and a pair of azure eyes, who appeared to be quite young.

After glancing at the appearance of the grilled fish stall owner, Meng Hongchen lowered her head and stared at the delicious grilled fish.

Doesn't the owner of this grilled fish stall look familiar?

Meng Hongchen, who was staring at the grilled fish, suddenly remembered something, so she looked up and glanced at the grilled fish stall owner again.

It does look somewhat familiar...

Before Meng Hongchen could even think of anything, she saw the grilled fish stall owner seize the opportunity and sprinkle seasonings on the grilled fish.

The enticing aroma drew Meng Hongchen's attention back to the grilled fish.

Just as I'd heard, it smells amazing!

After a moment, Meng Hongchen regained her senses and turned her attention back to the owner of the grilled fish stall.

So who exactly is this grilled fish stall owner, and why does she feel a sense of familiarity with him?

Meng Hongchen looked up at the grilled fish stall owner again. That familiar face seemed like she had seen it somewhere before.

The girl with delicate features frowned, deep in thought.

However, the aroma of the grilled fish became even stronger the next moment, and Meng Hongchen's gaze unconsciously fell on the grilled fish again.

This grilled fish looks so delicious!

Wait, why am I watching grilled fish again?

She needs to think about why she feels familiar with this grilled fish stall owner!

Meng Hongchen looked up again at the handsome but slightly immature face of the grilled fish stall owner.

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

Huo Yuhao, the owner of the grilled fish stall, naturally noticed the customer's unusual behavior.

Most of the other people were looking at the fish they were grilling, and a few were looking at themselves, wondering about their own age.

But this customer was different; she kept glancing at the grilled fish and then at herself.

Each time, I would glance at myself a few times, then look down at the grilled fish a few times, and then look up at myself a few times again.

Although all the customers are very beautiful, isn't this behavior a bit too strange?

At this moment, Meng Hongchen finally remembered where she had seen this young grilled fish stall owner before.

"Are you Huo Yuhao?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao paused for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"Yes."

It really is Huo Yuhao?!

Upon hearing the other party's admission, Meng Hongchen's bright eyes widened slightly involuntarily.

The owner of this grilled fish stall is actually Huo Yuhao?

The peerless genius hailed as a once-in-a-millennium talent in the Sun Moon Empire is actually selling grilled fish here?!

What exactly happened?

Meng Hongchen initially failed to recognize Huo Yuhao's identity because in her mind, a genius like Huo Yuhao would not buy grilled fish from a street stall.

The idea that a peerless genius from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy was forced to buy grilled fish in Mingdu was utterly absurd to her!

But to my surprise, this absurd thing actually happened!

"Your grilled fish is ready."

While Meng Hongchen was still in shock, Huo Yuhao handed her the grilled fish.

Coming to her senses, Meng Hongchen reached out and took the grilled fish that was handed to her.

Although I was surprised, I still had to eat the delicious grilled fish.

The ultimate grilled fish by a peerless genius...

Thinking of this, Meng Hongchen couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth slightly.

What a beautiful young lady...

Huo Yuhao glanced at Meng Hongchen, whose lips were curled up in a smile, and sighed inwardly.

He had seen many beautiful girls, but he had rarely seen anyone as beautiful as this customer.

Moreover, judging from the other person's demeanor, they seemed to know who they were.

So the other person is also a student of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy?

Huo Yuhao wasn't too surprised. In the past few days, he had been recognized by more than just the other person. Most of them would just say a few words or ask a few questions before leaving.

"The grilled fish is delicious."

After tasting the grilled fish she had been waiting for, Meng Hongchen's eyes lit up, and she praised Huo Yuhao.

"Thanks."

Huo Yuhao responded with a light laugh.

After gazing at the handsome young man for a moment, Meng Hongchen said nothing and turned to leave.

They just checked my identity and left?

He seems like a rather aloof person...

Huo Yuhao glanced at the pretty girl's departing figure and thought to himself.

But he quickly dismissed these thoughts and continued grilling fish for the next customer.

……

"I didn't originally intend to meet Huo Yuhao, but who would have thought I would actually get to see him anyway."

Holding a grilled fish, Meng Hongchen's eyebrows curved slightly, and she seemed to be in an exceptionally good mood.

If she was only slightly interested in Huo Yuhao before, now...

She developed a strong interest in this peerless genius from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy who was buying grilled fish.

Especially after learning that the other party was not only exceptionally talented, but also cooked incredibly delicious fish, Meng Hongchen made a decision in her heart.

She definitely needs to get to know Huo Yuhao, who can grill fish!

After taking a small bite of the still steaming grilled fish in her hand, Meng Hongchen walked happily toward the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy.

Back at Mingde Hall, Meng Hongchen pressed the doorbell of Xiao Hongchen's laboratory.

Soon, the laboratory door opened, and Meng Hongchen walked in with a light laugh.

"You seem to be in a good mood, Meng. What happened?"

Xiao Hongchen stopped what she was doing and turned to look at Meng Hongchen, who walked in with a smile on her face.

"I unexpectedly learned some unusual things."

"Something special? What is it?"

Meng Hongchen smiled slyly, bent down slightly, and put her hands behind her back:

I won't tell you.

Laughing at the World: "..."

Seeing that Meng Hongchen wouldn't tell her what had happened, Xiao Hongchen didn't ask any further questions, but suddenly spoke up:

"Meng, didn't you say you were going to bring me back that grilled fish to try?"

"Oh right, I almost forgot, but there's only half a grilled fish left of the one I bought. Haha, just make do with this."

Seeing Meng Hongchen take out a half-eaten grilled fish from behind her back, with some bite marks on it, Xiao Hongchen's face twitched.

"You should eat it yourself."

"Fine, don't eat it then. This grilled fish is really delicious. I've already been very generous by leaving you half a fish, and you're still complaining."

Meng Hongchen gave a soft snort and then took back the grilled fish that had been handed over.

"And this grilled fish is no ordinary fish; it's a top-quality grilled fish, extremely special!"

Laughing at the World: "?"

Xiao Hongchen raised her eyebrows and glanced at her younger sister with surprise.

How did going out for grilled fish make me so stupid?

What's so special about a grilled fish?

And the unparalleled grilled fish...

Could this grilled fish really be the same fish grilled by the peerless genius Huo Yuhao?

Shaking his head slightly, Xiao Hongchen stopped thinking about it and continued with his own affairs.

Meng Hongchen didn't say anything, but just smiled and left, her smile carrying a hint of mystery.
