Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Emperor, Unifying the Continent!

Seeing the drink Xu Tianming handed her, Zhang Lexuan nodded slightly and accepted it.

She usually wouldn't take things from strangers, but in her eyes, Xu Tianming was just a child, and the two weren't exactly strangers.

The drink has a refreshing sweet and sour taste with a hint of lemon, which means it must have lemon juice added.

To Zhang Lexuan's surprise, the drink also contained some medicinal properties.

It's not some kind of sleeping potion, but rather the smell of aged medicinal herbs, whose medicinal properties can greatly alleviate physical fatigue.

"It tastes great."

Zhang Lexuan commented, but Xu Tianming was no longer in front of her; instead, he was controlling the heat by the fire and grill.

The half-meter-long meat skewers, with their alternating layers of fat and lean meat, were already releasing their aroma under the heat of the flames. The crackling sounds and the gentle breeze carried the scent of the fat to Zhang Lexuan's nose, making her stomach, which wasn't particularly hungry before, rumble.

The broth in the small pot next to it also started to boil, with bubbling bubbles rising to the surface, and chunks of meat rolling around in it, producing a rich, white soup.

Her gaze shifted slightly, and a fruit platter appeared on the table that Xu Tianming had brought out. The colorful fruits looked juicy and very fresh.

Zhang Lexuan couldn't help but ask, "Little brother, do you always do this when you go out?"

In Zhang Lexuan's understanding, when traveling, people usually eat dry food. In better cases, they would eat a meal in a city when passing through it.

But someone like Xu Tianming...

How to put it, she felt something was off.

What kind of Soul Master brings their own ingredients and cooks when they go out?

Are they on their way or having a picnic?

Xu Tianming thought for a moment and said, "No, this is the first time, so we've prepared quite a lot."

He had traveled such long distances before, from the Sun Moon Empire to the Heavenly Soul Empire, and had various ideas about it.

But at that time, he was practically being forcibly brought here; he was constantly being watched by people no matter what he did, so he naturally had no interest in it.

As time passed, the fragrance grew stronger and stronger, even attracting some small animals from the grove.

Xu Tianming continued to urge the fire on while keeping the heat under control.

Soon, the grilled meat was ready. Sprinkle on some barbecue seasoning, and the aroma was irresistible!

Xu Tianming placed the grilled meat on a plate, spread out the flatbread next to it, spread a layer of bright red secret sauce on it, stuffed in a few lettuce leaves, and then picked up a skewer and stuffed it in.

Hurry up and give it a shot!

A kebab version of roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) has been born!

"Sister Lexuan, can you handle spicy food?"

Xu Tianming looked at Zhang Lexuan.

Zhang Lexuan blinked and said, "It's alright, I can eat a little."

She was actually a little embarrassed, since she hadn't been of much help throughout the process.

As for cooking, she knows a little bit. When doing missions outside, you can encounter all sorts of situations, and you may not always have food to eat. Cooking is a basic skill.

However, this basic skill is also divided into two levels: barely edible and delicious.

She's a typical example of the former; she can cook, but as for delicious food... she probably just doesn't have that talent.

However, Xu Tianming is clearly very talented in cooking; just watching him cook is a visual treat.

Once we reach the mission location, we must make sure to protect the little brother's safety!

Zhang Lexuan thought to herself.

"Here, Sister Lexuan, have a taste."

Xu Tianming was eating a roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) in one hand, and handed Zhang Lexuan a roujiamo with his other hand.

Zhang Lexuan didn't stand on ceremony and took a bite.

The flatbread is crispy on the outside and has a smoky, burnt smell, indicating it was baked and still warm from the firewood.

The greens are sweet and refreshing, full of juice, giving a sensation of resetting the temperature in your mouth.

But the next second, a strong, intense sensation instantly invaded the tip of the tongue.

hot!

Next comes the crispy-on-the-outside, tender-on-the-inside chunks of meat, their firm yet chewy texture filling the mouth. When you bite into them, the meat juices burst out, mixing with the juices of the vegetables and the spicy sauce, creating a rich and layered flavor experience.

With one bite, Zhang Lexuan actually felt happiness!

Yes, happiness!

Food is the most important thing for people. When people eat delicious food, they will feel happy.

She unconsciously quickened her chewing pace, and the roujiamo in her hand was quickly devoured, with a little sauce still remaining at the corner of her mouth.

Her delicate, pink tongue licked the corner of her mouth, swallowing the last bit.

She looked up at Xu Tianming.

Her eyes made it clear: she wanted more!

Xu Tianming generously made a few more and poured out the soup that was simmering on the fire.

A bowl of soup, a roujiamo (Chinese hamburger), and some grilled skewers and fruit on the side.

The two didn't even exchange many words, they just ate like crazy!

Half an hour later, lunch ended, and Zhang Lexuan took the initiative to clean up the mess before continuing on her way.

"Little brother, you are a real monster. At such a young age, you not only have amazing talent, but also such good cooking skills. I wonder how many girls will fall for you in the future."

Even though she herself was already a top genius in Shrek Academy's inner court, she still couldn't help but sigh.

In terms of talent, Xu Tianming is not even thirteen years old and has a soul power of level thirty-eight. He also possesses the Ultimate Light Martial Soul. His future prospects are basically as bright as his Martial Soul.

In terms of looks, Xu Tianming may not be the most handsome man in the world, but he will definitely be a top-tier handsome man when he grows up.

In terms of life skills, she also has excellent cooking skills...

As fellow geniuses, Zhang Lexuan really wanted to ask God which window God had closed for Xu Tianming.

This is drafty from all sides!

"Sigh, let's not talk about it. Sister Lexuan, it's too early to talk about these things. Let's pass the assessment and enter the inner academy first."

Xu Tianming shook his head and did not reply.

His situation is very special. At least for now, his only desire is to become stronger!

Power and strength are the greatest tonics for men!

Women... should be placed a little further back in the queue.

Seeing that Xu Tianming didn't want to talk about this topic, Zhang Lexuan didn't say anything more, and the two continued towards their destination.

Two days later, Xu Tianming and Zhang Lexuan arrived at the mountain range where the border between the Sun Moon Empire and the Heavenly Soul Empire was located.

The mountains stretched endlessly, and from a high vantage point, one could hardly see the end of them. Furthermore, the relationship between the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Sun Moon Empire was not good, so even though this group of evil soul masters' strongholds had been wiped out several times, they had not been completely eradicated.

"According to the intelligence the academy obtained from the Heavenly Soul Empire, this evil soul master and his bandits call themselves the Blood Slaughter Claws. In addition to one evil soul master with the cultivation of a Soul King, there are three Soul Venerables and more than ten Great Soul Masters..."

Zhang Lexuan stopped and looked at Xu Tianming with a serious expression:

"From now on, I will supervise your tasks and evaluate and score your completion!"

Be careful!
