Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: Starting with a Bond to God King Tang San

Chapter 189 Would you like a bowl of beef soup?

Looking at Huo Yutong's expression, Deng Mu was both amused and exasperated, and said, "Yutong, you're making it sound like you'd be heartless enough to reject me."

"Brother Mu is the best! I knew you wouldn't refuse me." Huo Yutong happily stood on tiptoe and kissed Deng Mu a few times to express her joy.

She had just been worried that Deng Mu would refuse her request to share a room with him.

From now on, she can sleep with Deng Mu in her arms. Deng Mu's embrace reminds her of her mother, and she is somewhat infatuated with Deng Mu's embrace.

Deng Mu looked at the happy Huo Yutong and said, "Yutong, aren't you going to your room to pack your things?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Yutong's excited face instantly fell, and she muttered, "Brother Mu, I don't want to go. It's too much trouble to pack my things by myself, and I'm afraid that if I go, you'll change your mind and not let me stay here anymore."

As she spoke, she clung tightly to Deng Mu's clothes, like a little animal afraid of being abandoned.

Deng Mu sighed helplessly and affectionately pinched her nose: "How could that be? I always keep my promises. How about this, we'll pack together tomorrow, and you can get some rest tonight."

Once inside the dormitory, Huo Yutong immediately relaxed. She walked to the bed with practiced ease, plopped down, and began humming a little tune to herself.

Deng Mu looked at her like this, smiled and shook his head, walked to the desk, and gently put down the several soul tool research materials he had borrowed from Teacher Zhou Hong today.

Huo Yutong hummed for a moment, then suddenly stopped, tilting her head to look at Deng Mu with eyes full of curiosity: "Brother Mu, was the soul tool knowledge you learned from Teacher Zhou today difficult? Did you learn anything super amazing new?"

As she spoke, her legs dangled around the edge of the bed, as if she were eager to learn more.

Deng Mu gently flipped open a document and said with a smile, "Most of it is basic knowledge. I have to say that Sun Moon Academy's soul tools are much better than Shrek Academy's."

Huo Yutong nodded in agreement: "Indeed, I felt the same way when I was studying. Shrek Academy still has a long way to go if it wants to catch up with Sun Moon Academy."

Deng Mu nodded slightly, tapping the documents lightly with his fingers, and continued, "Yes, this gap is not only reflected in the technology, but also in research concepts and resource investment. The Sun Moon Empire regards soul tools as a key force for expansion and hegemony, and has invested a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources."

There was one thing that Orange did that he felt was absolutely right.

After the Sun Moon Empire destroyed the Heavenly Soul and the Fighting Spirit, and annexed a large area of ​​Xingluo territory, it distributed the land and property that originally belonged to the nobles of the three kingdoms to the common people in the occupied areas, and promoted civilian soul guide devices to win over the hearts of the people.

This behavior overwhelms the vast majority of forces in the Douluo Continent.

If this were any other force in the Douluo Continent, they'd be lucky if it didn't harm ordinary people.

As for civilian soul tools, it is unlikely that other forces would manufacture and promote them.

The forces in Douluo Continent maintain a strict knowledge blockade, and ordinary Soul Masters can only learn some basic knowledge.

The main reason why Yu Xiaogang is called a master is that he shared a lot of knowledge, which ordinary soul masters can learn.

As for whether the knowledge shared by Yu Xiaogang is useful, it is of course not very useful.

He had been looking for Yu Xiaogang's books, but couldn't find a single one. He heard from others that they had been phased out a long time ago.

"Okay, I'll look at the documents for a bit first."

"Um."

……

A few days later, Huo Yutong and Ju Zi went to Jingyang Mountain Range to test the soul tool.

Because of the oranges, Huo Yutong and Keke had a pretty good relationship.

"Yutong, if you encounter any danger, your senior will protect you."

On the way to Jingyang Mountain Range, Ju Zi smiled and said to Huo Yutong.

Huo Yutong's face beamed with a bright smile: "Senior, you're so kind. But I'm quite strong, so I'll protect you when the time comes."

Orange gently flicked Huo Yutong's nose, her eyes full of laughter: "Alright, alright, Yutong is so amazing, your senior is counting on you."

After flying for two hours, Huo Yutong and the other two landed to rest.

"Let's eat before continuing our journey. At our current speed, we should reach the Jingyang Mountains before evening." Orange glanced at the sky and, as the team leader, gave the order to rest.

After speaking, he took out a large amount of food and seasonings from his storage soul tool.

Huo Yutong stared at the orange in disbelief. It was the first time she had ever seen someone carry so much food and seasonings in their storage soul tool.

Seeing Huo Yutong's stunned expression, Ju Zi couldn't help but say with a hint of pride, "I'm going to show off my skills and let you taste my outdoor barbecue. It's absolutely delicious, so be careful you don't eat your tongue."

Keke, who was standing nearby, said to Huo Yutong, "Yutong, the food that senior sister makes is especially delicious. Usually, even Zimu and Wang Shaojie rarely get to eat it."

Listening to Keke's words, Huo Yutong was very curious about the taste of the food that Ju Zi made.

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

Huo Yutong's eyes sparkled with anticipation as she said, "Senior, let me show off my skills too! I learned how to make beef soup from Brother Mu; it tastes amazing and will definitely be a perfect match for your barbecue!"

As he spoke, he went over to the orange and selected some items.

Orange smiled and nodded: "Okay, then let's see whose cooking is more popular."

After saying that, she skillfully set up the barbecue grill, skewered various meats and vegetables, brushed them with oil, and put them on the fire to grill.

Soon, an enticing aroma filled the air, the meat skewers sizzled on the fire, and the oil dripped onto the charcoal, creating tiny sparks.

Huo Yutong wasn't idle either; she started cooking beef soup, looking very focused and attentive.

Keke helped hand out the ingredients, and watching the two busy figures, she said with a smile, "I'm in for a treat today. I wonder how Yutong's soup tastes."

As time passed, the oranges were successfully grilled.

At the same time, Huo Yutong confidently served up her carefully prepared beef soup. The steaming soup was topped with tempting oil and garnished with bright green scallions.

The three of them had almost finished their barbecue when Huo Yutong looked at the two of them expectantly and said, "Try my beef soup, it tastes really good."

Keke and Ju Zi each picked up a bowl of soup, blew on it gently, and took a small sip.

Their expressions froze, and then their faces turned deathly pale.

Orange took a deep breath and forced herself to say, "Yutong, I'm a little tired. I'll rest for a while before going to Jingyang Mountain Range."

Keke, who was standing to the side, nodded in agreement; she was feeling a bit overwhelmed.

Huo Yutong looked puzzled, not quite understanding what was going on. Could it be because her beef soup didn't taste good?

Orange and Keke sat down in front of a tree, and the next second everything went black and they fainted.
