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

Chapter 190 The Orange with a Shadow

"The senior sisters fall asleep so quickly, they fall asleep in no time."

Huo Yutong looked at Ju Zi and Ke Ke and couldn't help but sigh.

If it were her, it would take her a while to fall asleep; she definitely wouldn't be as fast as her two senior sisters.

After sighing, Huo Yutong served herself a bowl of beef soup.

Huo Yutong happily picked up the bowl, gently blew on it to cool it down, and eagerly took a big gulp of beef soup.

She thought the taste was alright, although there were some subtle differences from what Brother Mu made, it had its own unique flavor.

Looking at the unconscious Orange and Coco, she still vaguely felt that something was wrong.

However, considering that the two of them were resting, Huo Yutong thought it best not to disturb them.

Huo Yutong decided not to disturb them, so she quietly cleared away the tableware.

The senior students took such good care of her, so it was only natural for her to help pack her things.

After a long while, Ju Zi finally woke up slowly. She felt a splitting headache, as if countless needles were pricking her.

She slowly opened her eyes and saw Huo Yutong cultivating.

Orange held her head, trying hard to recall what had happened. The image of drinking beef soup flashed through her mind, and her face turned deathly pale.

That bowl of beef soup brought back all the memories of her childhood, and also allowed her to see her parents whom she hadn't seen in a long time.

At this moment, Keke, who was next to her, also woke up, with the same expression of pain on her face.

When she fainted, she saw her relatives who had passed away many years ago.

Keke covered her head, her brows furrowed, her voice still weak: "Senior, I think I just saw my deceased grandparents, and they were smiling at me... What's going on?"

Orange shook her head, also full of doubts. Her gaze fell on Huo Yutong, who was cultivating not far away. All of this was inextricably linked to that bowl of beef soup.

First, we can rule out the possibility that Huo Yutong drugged them. If something happened to the two of them, Huo Yutong would definitely be in trouble if she went back alone. That can only mean that Huo Yutong's cooking skills are not very good.

"Rain Eyes," Orange called softly.

Hearing the sound, Huo Yutong slowly stopped her cultivation, opened her eyes, and saw the two awake. She immediately smiled happily: "Senior, Keke, how did you two sleep?"

As she spoke, she quickly walked to the two of them.

Orange swallowed hard and asked Huo Yutong, "Yutong, is there any beef soup left?"

Huo Yutong blinked her bright eyes and replied, "No, senior, I drank it all. If you want more, I can cook some more."

When Orange and Coco heard this, their jaws nearly dropped.

The two were incredibly puzzled as to why Huo Yutong, despite drinking so much, seemed completely unaffected.

Could it be that Huo Yutong's beef soup is not suitable for the people of the Sun and Moon region?

Besides this possibility, what other possibilities did the two of them think of?

However, the two of them dared not touch the food that Huo Yutong had found, as they simply couldn't withstand it.

If they drink any more, they'll probably be heading to the underworld.

Seeing that Ju Zi and Ke Ke were in a daze, Huo Yutong called out softly, "Senior Sister, what's wrong with you two?"

Orange and Coco came to their senses, looked at each other, and saw in each other's eyes the relief of surviving a disaster.

Ju Zi forced a smile and said to Huo Yutong, "It's nothing, I'm just a little groggy from just waking up."

Keke chimed in, "Yeah, yeah, Yutong, did you sleep well?"

Huo Yutong tilted her head, thought for a moment, and said, "I didn't sleep. I started cultivating after drinking the soup, and I feel particularly good today."

These words deepened the doubts in Ju Zi and Ke Ke's hearts. This beef soup not only had no side effects for Huo Yu Tong, but it seemed to be an aid to her cultivation.

Orange cleared her throat and tentatively asked, "Yutong, did you add anything special when you made the soup?"

Huo Yutong recalled earnestly, scratched her head, and said, "No, I just put the meat and seasonings in and cooked it the usual way. I think it tasted pretty good."

Ju Zi and Ke Ke were helpless; it seemed they wouldn't get any more information out of her.

After resting for a while, the three of them got up and headed to Jingyang Mountain Range.

As the evening glow rose on the western horizon, Huo Yutong and her group finally arrived near their destination.

"Let's rest nearby tonight. We'll go into the mountains again tomorrow to test the soul tool and also try our luck in finding a suitable soul beast for you," Orange said to Huo Yutong and Keke.

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

Huo Yutong and Keke had no objections to Ju Zi's arrangement.

The three landed a hundred miles away from the Jingyang Mountains and set up camp in a high and flat place.

Huo Yutong volunteered, "Senior, I'll cook dinner tonight."

Upon hearing Huo Yutong's words, the smiles on Ju Zi and Ke Ke's faces froze instantly. They exchanged a glance, both seeing terror in each other's eyes.

They felt they couldn't eat anymore; if they ate any more, they would die. They simply couldn't bear that feeling.

Orange quickly waved her hand and said with a dry laugh, "Yutong, you don't need to work so hard. Everyone is tired from traveling today. Let me do it." Keke also nodded vigorously in agreement, "Yes, yes, senior's cooking is so good. Let us try senior's cooking today."

Huo Yutong was a little disappointed, but she still nodded obediently: "Okay then, senior's cooking must be delicious, I'm already looking forward to it."

Orange breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and began preparing the ingredients, secretly glad that she had escaped a disaster.

As night slowly fell, the campsite was filled with the enticing aroma of cooked oranges.

Huo Yutong helped by handing over the seasonings, occasionally peeking curiously at the ingredients bubbling in the pot, while Keke tidied up the tableware and chatted with Ju Zi from time to time.

The food was served, and the three of them sat down together. Huo Yutong ate with great relish, praising Ju Zi's cooking skills as she ate.

Although Orange and Keke appeared to be enjoying their meal, they were still uneasy about the beef soup they had just eaten. Their eyes would occasionally meet, revealing a complex expression.

After the meal, it was completely dark. The campfire crackled and sparks flew in front of the tent. Huo Yutong licked her lips, still wanting more, and leaned back in her chair contentedly.

"Senior, with your cooking skills, whoever marries you will be very lucky!" Huo Yutong teased with a grin.

Orange's cheeks flushed slightly, and she spat out, "You're so sweet-talking. Hurry up and pack your things, get some rest. We still have to go into the Jingyang Mountains tomorrow."

The three cleaned up the dishes and returned to their tent.

Not long after Huo Yutong lay down, even breathing could be heard; she had already drifted into a sweet dream.

However, Ju Zi and Ke Ke were wide awake, staring blankly at the top of the tent.
