Douluo Continent: Lin Dong transmigrates into Huo Yuhao

Chapter 3 Lin Dong, who is "targeted"

After walking for a while, Lin Dong heard the sound of flowing water and quickened his pace to reach the edge of the stream.

After a quick wash, Lin Dong took out a sheathed short blade that he kept close to his body. This was a relic called the White Tiger Dagger that Huo Yun'er had left him.

He could sense that this thing was more than just a simple dagger.

Then he broke off a three-foot-long branch from a nearby tree, sharpened it with the White Tiger Dagger, and carried it towards the stream.

A grayish-brown light shone in his eyes, and the fish in the stream seemed to slow down instantly in his sight. Before long, more than a dozen bluefish were laid out on the bank.

After quickly preparing the ingredients, Lin Dong started a campfire and prepared to grill the fish.

A moment later, a unique aroma wafted into Lin Dong's nostrils. Looking at the slightly golden-yellow bluefish, he couldn't help but give a wry smile, having been hungry all day.

"Unexpectedly, with the Duchess's 'help,' my cooking skills have actually improved quite a bit."

"Wow, it smells so good!"

A startled cry startled Lin Dong, who instantly grabbed the White Tiger Dagger with one hand and gathered his soul power in his palm with the other, preparing to deal with any unexpected situation that might arise.

Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw two people walking along the stream.

On the left is a girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in a light pink outfit, followed by a boy with short dark blue hair who looks quite refined.

Seeing that the two meant no harm, Lin Dong's gray eyes temporarily returned to normal, and he asked warily, "Do you need something?"

The girl seemed oblivious to his aloofness, and rushed to him, smiling as she asked:

"Hello little brother, my name is Tang Ya. Do you sell your grilled fish?"

Looking at the somewhat overly familiar girl in front of him, Lin Dong frowned and said indifferently, "One silver soul coin per coin."

Tang Ya didn't pay attention to his tone and smiled at the boy behind her, saying, "Beibei, give us the money, let's buy two."

The young man nodded somewhat helplessly, took out two silver soul coins from his purse, stepped forward, handed them to Lin Dong, and smiled:

"Don't mind her, Xiaoya is a bit outgoing, but she's a good person. My name is Beibei."

Seeing how kind he was, the wariness in Lin Dong's eyes lessened somewhat, and he smiled faintly, "It's alright, my name is Lin Dong."

However, the girl who was oblivious to her image and devouring grilled fish seemed somewhat displeased, stammering with meat in her mouth, "What did you call me?"

The boy immediately raised his hands in feigned surrender, and said with a helpless smile, "Alright, alright, Teacher Xiaoya, are you satisfied now?"

Tang Ya rolled her eyes at him and mumbled, "That's more like it. You should be mindful of your status."

Lin Dong sized up the two people in front of him, thinking to himself:

These two don't seem to have any bad intentions, and they're so generous; they must be rich kids who've come out to gain experience.

Seeing that the two finished eating quickly, Lin Dong smiled kindly at them and said, "Want some more? I can give you a discount this time, two for one silver soul coin."

Tang Ya and Bei Bei were stunned for a moment after hearing this, then Tang Ya smiled and nodded:

"Great! This grilled fish is so delicious, and you're even giving us a discount. How can we not buy it?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Beibei, who immediately handed him a silver soul coin with a faint smile.

Seeing how easy they were to talk to, Lin Dong was certain that they were just rich young men who had come out to train and had no bad intentions.

He then took the silver soul coin, looked at the two of them, and smiled:

"There's still plenty here. If you want to eat more, you don't have to pay anymore. I can't eat much by myself."

Tang Ya smiled with delight after hearing this, "Really? You're so kind, Lin Dong. Then I won't be polite."

After saying that, she reached for a grilled fish. Seeing this, Beibei patted her hand affectionately and gently reminded her:

"What are you doing? Can't you see Lin Dong hasn't eaten yet?"

Tang Ya then realized what had happened, smiled awkwardly, and pouted, saying, "I didn't mean it, I'm sorry Lin Dong, you eat first."

Seeing how naive the two of them were, Lin Dong didn't stand on ceremony, smiled and nodded, then picked up a grilled fish and started eating.

The already limited amount of grilled fish was quickly devoured by the three of them. After a quick clean-up, Lin Dong stood up:

"Beibei, Tang Ya, I'll be going now."

"This is the Star Dou Great Forest. Are you sure you want to venture deep into this place alone?"

Hearing the concern in his words, Lin Dong smiled kindly:

"Thank you for your concern, but I have my own plans, so I'll be going now."

After saying that, he turned and left under Tang Ya's somewhat surprised gaze, setting off alone to search for the spirit ring.

At this moment, seeing that Lin Dong possessed soul power, Tang Ya, who harbored ill intentions towards him, was instigating Bei Bei. The brief tug-of-war between the two ended in Bei Bei's defeat.

A smile appeared on Tang Ya's face: "So, you agree?"

Beibei smiled wryly and said, "Great Tang Sect Master Xiaoya, I have never forgotten your ambition to strengthen the Tang Sect. Of course, we should recruit suitable people."

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

He seemed quite composed, and judging from his clothes, his family background wasn't very good. Our Tang Sect can only accept disciples like him.

Beibei is ultimately reliable, much more pragmatic than Tang Ya, who blindly worships the God King's hidden weapons and clings to the Mysterious Heaven Skill.

Given the current state of decline of the Tang Clan, their fate is probably not much better than that of the Three Ghosts of the Huang Family. It's already a blessing that someone has joined them; they have no right to be picky.

After quickly washing their hands, the two followed the route Lin Dong had taken, since the Tang Clan was really hungry and they couldn't let him get away.

Lin Dong hadn't walked far when he sensed two familiar auras rapidly approaching him. He frowned and guessed:

Why are these two kids chasing me?

After much deliberation, I decided to stop and ask. Seeing the two people rapidly approaching from behind, I turned around and asked:

"Why are you chasing me?"

Seemingly surprised that Lin Dong, at such a young age, possessed such keen senses, Tang Ya couldn't help but ask:

"Lin Dong, how did you sense us? Could it be that your martial soul is of the spiritual attribute?"

Lin Dong hummed in agreement, then asked, "What's wrong? Is something the matter?"

Beibei and Tang Ya exchanged a glance, and Tang Ya spoke first:

"Is there anyone else in your family besides you?"

Lin Dong looked at her with some doubt after hearing this, but still shook his head: "No."

"That's wonderful!" Tang Ya couldn't help but exclaim excitedly.

Lin Dong instantly took half a step back, a flash of anger in his eyes. Before he could react, Bei Bei smacked Tang Ya on the head:

"What did you say?!"

Tang Ya finally realized what was happening, and stuck out her tongue at Lin Dong:

"I'm sorry, Lin Dong, I'm an orphan too. I didn't mean to reopen old wounds."

Lin Dong's face darkened. This girl's emotional intelligence was truly terrifyingly low. Then, his lips twitched.

"It's nothing. Is there anything else? If not, I'll be going now."

Just as he was about to turn and leave, Tang Ya gently tugged at his sleeve and said anxiously:

"Don't rush, Lin Dong. How about you join our Tang Sect?"
