Chapter 139 Grilled Fish

Qian Renxue took a very long time to absorb the soul ring.

Because it was taking so long, Wen Ning got hungry while waiting, so he set up a protective barrier around Qian Renxue and went to catch a few fish from a nearby stream to grill.

While grilling fish, I waited for Qian Renxue. When Qian Renxue opened her eyes, this was the scene she saw.

Beside the roaring campfire, Wen Ning held a skewer of grilled fish in each hand, happily grilling it over the fire. His eyes, fixed on the grilled fish, shone brightly, like the most precious luminous pearls.

The grilled fish skewered on wooden sticks was already charred and dripping oil, looking quite delicious.

Qian Renxue, who hadn't felt any hunger just moments before, suddenly felt a pang of hunger upon seeing this scene.

"Have you absorbed it well? Would you like some grilled fish? It's freshly grilled."

As Wen Ning asked this, she proactively handed the already grilled fish to Qian Renxue, waiting for her to take it.

Qian Renxue stared at the skewer of grilled fish that had been handed to her, and hesitated before taking it.

"Is it edible?"

This was the first thing she asked after grilling the fish.

Upon hearing her words, Wen Ning immediately became anxious, "Of course it's possible, don't you even check who baked it?"

Her grilled fish technique was learned from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and Dugu Bo. Although it is not as exquisite as Dugu Bo's, it is still perfectly palatable.

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue tentatively brought the grilled fish to her mouth and took a small bite.

It wasn't as bad as I expected.

It is indeed edible.

But that's all that's needed—it's edible.

Any further praise would seem superfluous.

Seeing that she had eaten, Wen Ning hurriedly asked, "Is it alright?"

Staring into her bright eyes, Qian Renxue said expressionlessly, "Not really."

"..."

"I know you're being sarcastic, right? It's okay, I understand."

Wen Ning was not saddened by Qian Renxue's words at all; on the contrary, she seemed indifferent.

She put another grilled fish into her mouth, took a bite, and gave it rave reviews: "Who says this fish isn't delicious? This fish is absolutely amazing!"

Qian Renxue stared at her for a while, her eyes narrowing slightly. "You really dare to say that."

"Your absorption process seems to have gone fairly smoothly, right?"

Wen Ning didn't continue the discussion about whether the grilled fish was delicious or not. Instead, he changed the subject and asked Qian Renxue if her soul ring absorption went smoothly.

When asked this question, Qian Renxue was taken aback. Although it seemed that the time it took to absorb the spirit ring this time was not short, it seemed that the absorption of the spirit ring this time was much smoother than the previous times she had absorbed the spirit rings of powerful spirit beasts.

Aside from the initial pain, the pain disappeared completely.

No, it seems that when she was in some pain at the beginning, she felt a hand on her shoulder, and after that, her process of absorbing the spirit ring became smooth.

However, when he was absorbing the spirit ring, Wen Ning was the only one by his side.

In other words, the owner of that hand... is Wen Ning?!

Did she help me?

Qian Renxue's fingertips curled slightly.

Isn't it said that external interference is not allowed when absorbing a spirit ring?

How did Wen Ning manage to do that?

Seeing that Qian Renxue had indeed thought of this, Wen Ning simply watched her quietly, waiting for her to ask him on her own initiative.

But no matter how long she waited, Qian Renxue remained silent.

What happened?

Isn't she curious?

Wen Ning hesitated for a moment, then finally asked, "Was it not going well?"

For some reason, seeing her like this, Qian Renxue's lips slowly curved upwards, but she quickly suppressed it again and nodded solemnly. "But it's alright."

Actually, it went very smoothly.

Wen Ning looked at her suspiciously. "You're lying."

She clearly made a move just now. Her actions were effective when Qi Lin was absorbing the soul bone, so why were they ineffective when it came to Qian Renxue?

It's definitely because Qian Renxue doesn't want to admit it.

She had already seen through everything.

Is one fish enough to fill your stomach?

She asked.

Qian Renxue nodded. "That's enough."

The taste is really not good.

We probably won't be able to finish eating if we come any more.

Upon hearing this, Wen Ning took out a fish from his soul ring. "Then I'll grill another one for myself."

He even emphasized again that it was baked for himself.

Qian Renxue stared at her without reacting.

"Eat more."

Upon hearing this, Wen Ning nodded, "Okay."

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

You should eat more.

They both ate quite quickly, and after about ten minutes, they both stopped eating at the same time. Qian Renxue looked at her, and she looked up at Qian Renxue's location as well. Almost simultaneously, they both asked, "Are you finished eating?"

After a moment of silence, Wen Ning nodded, "Of course."

They have accomplished their purpose in coming to the Star Dou Great Forest, and it is time for them to leave.

"If there's nothing else, let's go."

These words naturally refer to leaving the Star Dou Great Forest.

Wen Ning blinked. "I have nothing else to say."

As she spoke, she got up and followed Qian Renxue's steps.

But at this moment, Qian Renxue suddenly stopped.

"Have you absorbed the spirit ring yet?"

As she was leaving, she remembered that she had come to the Star Dou Great Forest to accompany Wen Ning in obtaining his spirit ring, but now she was the only one who had absorbed her own spirit ring, while Wen Ning had not.

Or did she absorb a spirit ring while she was absorbing the spirit ring of the Bright Winged Cheetah?

Qian Renxue quickly got the answer.

"I've already absorbed it. I waited for you for too long, so I set up a barrier to protect us and took advantage of the time to absorb the spirit ring. Luckily, nothing happened."

Wen Ning gave a simple explanation and smiled at Qian Renxue.

While she was absorbing the spirit ring, he also absorbed the spirit ring?

How could she absorb a spirit ring so easily?

Moreover, even though they are both ten-thousand-year soul rings, it took him longer than Wen Ning to complete them.

How long did it take you?

For reasons unknown, Qian Renxue asked this question.

Wen Ning sensed something was wrong and subtly raised an eyebrow.

Why do I feel like the other person is comparing themselves to me?

Or perhaps they are doubting something?

Wen Ning lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before quickly saying, "Perhaps it's because the Ten Thousand Year Green Wood Spirit Deer isn't as strong as the Ten Thousand Year Bright Winged Cheetah, so my absorption process went exceptionally smoothly."

She gave a seemingly very reasonable excuse.

Qian Renxue seemed to be convinced by her words and nodded thoughtfully.

If that's the case, it seems to make sense.

The two walked deep into the Star Dou Great Forest, occasionally making some noise.

Until they completely left the Star Dou Great Forest.

This trip only took three days.

But Wen Ning is leaving.

"Are you leaving?"

Hearing this, Wen Ning raised an eyebrow and asked, "Aren't you going to be reluctant?"
