Douluo: The Glory of the Peerless Angel

Chapter 12 Grilled Fish and Shrek Academy (Part 2)

The flames swayed in the wind, and the burning dry branches produced a series of crackling sounds like popping beans.

Huo Yuhao skewered several cleaned bluefish with thin twigs, squatted down beside the fire, his deep blue eyes emitting a faint golden light, and controlled the heat of the grilled fish with his keen observation skills.

The fire was fueled by the dragon fire of the Witch Wind Red Dragon Martial Soul, with a temperature far exceeding that of ordinary flames. After a while, as Huo Yuhao turned the branches over, a rich aroma gradually wafted out.

The aroma wafted through the air, carrying a tempting scent that tantalized everyone's appetite. The tender white fish began to turn golden, and the occasional, muffled sounds of swallowing could be heard from all around.

Huo Yuhao's skills were limited, and the makeshift wooden frame was a bit small, so he could only grill three fish at a time. Following the principle of ladies first, he distributed the first batch of grilled fish to Tang Ya, Ning Tian, ​​and Wu Feng. He then wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued to devote himself to the great cause of cooking.

"Wow, it smells amazing!"

Tang Ya looked at Huo Yuhao with such longing in her eyes. After taking the grilled fish, she didn't care that it was hot and took a big bite of the crispy fish skin. The deliciousness of the fish meat instantly filled her mouth.

Compared to Tang Ya, who had transformed into a glutton, Ning Tian's eating manners were much more elegant. He took small bites of the grilled fish with his pearly white teeth, occasionally pouting his red lips and gently blowing away the steam, a satisfied gleam in his eyes.

To be fair, Huo Yuhao's ability to win over the stomachs of women like Wang Dong'er and Ju Zi with food speaks volumes about his culinary talent. Even Ning Tian, ​​a princess who has tasted countless delicacies, couldn't help but nod in approval.

Seeing that Ning Tian seemed to really like grilled fish, Wu Feng's bloodshot eyes darted around. He secretly started a fire, took two fish that Huo Yuhao had prepared, rolled up his sleeves, and began grilling the fish with a bang.

A few minutes later, she proudly handed Ning Tian a grilled fish, her pretty face, reddened by the smoke, filled with anticipation.

Ning Tian took a small bite, savored it carefully, and then hesitated before saying:

"Hmm... Xiao Feng, you must be tired today. Why don't you take a rest?"

Low emotional intelligence: Reporting food.

High emotional intelligence: You're tired.

"puff!"

Ling Bai couldn't help but laugh. There are many clowns, but Harley Quinn is truly rare.

"ah!?"

Wu Feng was dumbfounded. He then took a bite of his own grilled fish and, comparing it with Huo Yuhao's, said dejectedly:

"What's going on? The same fish look so different?"

"Because your control of the heat wasn't precise enough, and your timing for flipping it was also a bit off, and also..."

Ling Bai took the second batch of grilled fish from Huo Yuhao, glanced at Wu Feng sideways, and said indifferently, "You probably can't cook, can you? You didn't even put any seasoning on the grilled fish?"

"..."

Wu Feng was stunned, then angrily threw the grilled fish he had used to curry favor with Ning Tian into the river, clearly having been broken down by Ling Bai once again.

Besides Huo Yuhao's grilled fish, everyone took out some food they carried with them from their storage soul tools. They chatted and ate a sumptuous dinner around the campfire, which brought them closer together.

Tang Ya was in high spirits. The delicious food prepared by the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School's food-type soul master chef was also considered the best in the world. As a result, she ate too much in her happiness. After eating and drinking her fill, she touched her slightly protruding belly and fell asleep leaning against a big tree.

On the other side, the responsible Bei Bei is teaching her junior brother Huo Yuhao the Xuan Tian Gong and other Tang Sect secret techniques.

Wu Feng was curious and wanted to go and see what the once world-renowned Tang Clan's unique martial arts looked like, but Ling Bai grabbed him by the back of the neck.

"What are you doing?" Wu Feng said angrily, looking just like an angry pufferfish.

"Are you an idiot?" Ling Bai retorted without any politeness. "Why should I show you the secrets of another sect?"

"That seems to make sense."

Wu Feng reluctantly gave up his idea of ​​observing and turned back to Ning Tian's side.

"It's alright, Junior Ling."

Bei Bei had finished teaching Huo Yuhao the Tang Clan's secret techniques, allowing him to use the Mysterious Heaven Skill on his own. He stood up and stretched his aching muscles; helping Huo Yuhao clear several blocked acupoints had taken considerable effort. He said gently:

"The Tang Clan is no longer as prosperous as it once was, and it is in a time of great need for reconstruction. If Junior Sister Wu Feng falls in love with the Tang Clan's unique skills and wishes to join the Tang Clan, Xiao Ya and I will warmly welcome her and will not force her to leave the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. The same goes for Junior Brother Ling and Junior Sister Ning; as long as we work together for the revival of the Tang Clan in the future, that's enough."

Bei Bei naturally harbored ulterior motives. The Nine-Colored Goddess Ning Rongrong had once joined the Tang Sect, a historical connection between the Tang Sect and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. If they could attract monster-level geniuses like Ling Bai and Ning Tian to join, then the Tang Sect's revival would truly have hope, just like ten thousand years ago when the Tang Sect relied on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to rise to prominence!

"Thank you for your kind offer, Senior Bei, but we have no plans to join any other sects at the moment."

Ning Tian was much more shrewd than the naive and unsweet Wu Feng, and he apologetically declined Bei Bei's offer to win him over.

Are you kidding me? The Tang Clan can't even muster a handful of people and dogs, so why should the young lady of a prestigious sect condescend to do this?

Ning Rongrong joined the Tang Sect back then because of the camaraderie among the Seven Devils and because the sect was almost wiped out by the Spirit Hall!

Ling Bai's reason for rejecting the Tang Sect was simpler.

Tang San's sect?

tui!

With the recruitment plan falling through, Beibei didn't dwell on it, and everyone tacitly moved on from the topic, discussing who would keep watch at night.

In the end, the two boys displayed gentlemanly manners and took on the responsibility of keeping watch, while the girls drifted off into sweet dreams, and Huo Yuhao remained immersed in his cultivation.

The first time is always a special experience.

Looking at Ning Tian, ​​who was sleeping peacefully in Ling Bai's arms, Bei Bei asked curiously, "Junior Brother Ling, how did you join the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School?"

The flickering, dim yellow flames illuminated Ling Bai's face, revealing a hint of reminiscence. He murmured, "It must be fate. The sect leader of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School found me as an infant."

Ling Bai was extremely grateful to the sect master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. He had just transmigrated into the body of an infant and was powerless. If it weren't for the sect master taking him in, he would hardly have survived to this day.

"Is that so..."

Bei Bei seemed to be deep in thought. He could tell that the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School had given up the hatred of being nearly wiped out by the Spirit Hall ten thousand years ago and was willing to nurture Ling Bai. The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School was absolutely devoted to Ling Bai, and even intended to marry the next sect leader to Ling Bai.

He shook his head, thinking, "What does it matter to me what other sects think?" He then said, "With your strength, junior brother, you... no, I'm afraid you can't find a match for any of the freshmen, or even the entire Shrek Academy's outer court."

Bei Bei was known as one of the two twin stars in the outer academy and was already a top combatant in Shrek Academy's outer academy. However, when facing Ling Bai, he was at a disadvantage in both soul power and martial soul, which made him sigh.

"Ha ha."

Ling Bai didn't respond, but said, "Senior Bei, you've been fighting all day and you're exhausted. I'll keep watch for the first half of the night, so you should get some sleep."

"Okay, I'll take your place for the second half of the night."

After Beibei fell asleep, Ling Bai suddenly said quietly:

"The outer courtyard... really isn't very interesting..."
