Douluo Continent: Becoming the God of Nature Starting from Farming

"You!!" Huo Wu was about to explode. Shui Yue'er's words were too infuriating, and she couldn't win an argument with her.

Just as the two girls were about to start fighting, Xiao Ze gently pushed them apart.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing. You're putting me in a difficult position."

"Hmph!" Huo Wu turned her head away.

As for Shui Yue'er, she was much smarter and said in a sweet voice, "Brother Xiao Ze~~ It's still early, shall we go for a walk?"

"Disgusting!" Huo Wu frowned; she could never utter such a sound.

"Alright, today's competition was quite tough, and we still have several more days of competition ahead. You should get some rest first. If you want to come with me, come to my house, and I'll cook for you," Xiao Ze said helplessly.

"Brother Xiao Ze~~ You can cook too? That's amazing!" Shui Yue'er's eyes lit up.

He's incredibly talented, handsome, has a great personality, and can even cook now—what an amazing man! It would be such a shame if I couldn't hold onto him.

"You've really got a treat; Xiao Ze's cooking skills are excellent," Ning Rongrong said with a smile.

“In that case, let’s… go.” Shui Bing’er blinked, looking expectant.

She can cook, but the results are usually mediocre. Sometimes she even makes her older sister and aunt dizzy from eating, which arouses her competitive spirit. She has to cook an edible meal at least once.

"Charge! Charge! Charge!"

On the way, Xiao Ze also asked Huo Wu about her previous hostility towards him.

After learning the answer, Xiao Ze was both amused and exasperated.

She actually got jealous.

She wondered if her two old rivals were no longer paying attention to her, but instead focusing on a man, or if they looked down on her.

It's such a simple question. It seems that Huo Wu is really quite naive.

Huo Wushuang and Shui Yiyao stood at the entrance of the Great Soul Arena, looking at the noisy scene in the distance, and sighed in unison.

"Dean Shui, how did your two girls get involved too?" Huo Wushuang scratched his head and pointed to Shui Yue'er and Shui Bing'er, who were standing next to Xiao Ze.

Shui Yiyao shook her head, her mature and charming face filled with helplessness: "Don't even mention it. My eldest daughter is obsessed with looks; she can't resist anyone who's pretty. My younger daughter looks aloof, but she's actually quite naive. She's been led astray by her older sister. And deep down, she's also obsessed with looks. It's a tragedy!"

She glanced at Huo Wushuang, "But your Huo Wu, isn't she usually the one who hates boys the most? How come..."

Huo Wushuang looked utterly dejected: "Who knows what's wrong with that girl? She's been spending more money on herself than anyone else today."

The two looked at each other and simultaneously let out a sigh like that of an old father or mother.

“But then again,” Shui Yiyao said thoughtfully, stroking her chin, “this Xiao Ze is indeed no ordinary person. He has such strength at such a young age, and he’s also handsome. No wonder the girls can’t resist him.”

"That's true. I just don't know where this Xiao Ze came from. He has such great strength. His summoned beasts have many techniques and are extremely powerful. Each one seems to be no less powerful than a Soul Master. They are very powerful summoning-type martial souls."

"That's right, Xiao Ze's strength is beyond doubt, and the women around him are not to be trifled with."

Ning Rongrong is the eldest daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, with a noble status. It seems that Ning Fengzhi thinks highly of Xiao Ze, otherwise he would not have agreed to let his daughter share Xiao Ze with so many women.

The same applies to Dugu Yan, and her grandfather is the Poison Douluo.

Ye Lingling, a member of the Ye family, has an equally noble status, far superior to ours.

Although I don't know Meng Yiran, her martial spirit should be from the Dragon Duke and Meng Po, which is alright.

The last one, Zhu Zhuqing, is from the Xingluo Zhu family.

Shui Yiyao and Huo Wushuang are considered leaders of top-tier forces on the Douluo Continent, so they are naturally quite knowledgeable about the affairs of the Douluo Continent.

"So he must really have something going for him. It wouldn't hurt for them to get to know him better. Besides, they'll all grow up and get married eventually. It would be nice if they could find a good match now." Huo Wushuang nodded.

"Aren't you afraid that he'll have too many women around him and neglect Huo Wu?" Shui Yiyao asked. This was her biggest concern; everything else was secondary.

"Haha, you're overthinking it. Just look at the women around Xiao Ze, and you'll see that Ning Rongrong is definitely the most important one. The rest are about the same, so Xiao Ze is quite good at maintaining a balance. As long as you don't cause trouble, you can live very well around him."

Most importantly, their strength has improved rapidly recently, which may be related to Xiao Ze. After all, they weren't like this before.

Shui Yiyao looked at Huo Wushuang with a sudden realization: "I didn't expect you to be so smart."

"Damn it! I just don't like to use my brain, not that I don't have one!"

boom!

The two turned to look and saw that Huo Wu and Shui Yue'er had started fighting again, with Xiao Ze caught in the middle, looking utterly hopeless.

Shui Yiyao sighed again.

"Youth is wonderful!" Huo Wushuang chuckled as he watched this scene.

"What a load of rubbish! Getting jealous over a man here," Shui Yiyao complained.

The two stood there, watching the young people running around in the distance, their shadows stretched long by the setting sun.

At this moment, they were not powerful Soul Masters who commanded respect in their region, but just ordinary elders who were deeply worried about their children.

……

Xiao Ze stood in front of the stove, his sleeves rolled up to his elbows, revealing his well-defined forearms, and was intently stirring the dishes in the pot.

The aroma of food filled the air, accompanied by enticing sounds.

Shui Bing'er stood quietly to the side, her long hair loosely tied with a ribbon, with a few strands falling beside her fair cheeks.

She stared intently at Xiao Ze's every move, holding a delicate little notebook in her hands, occasionally glancing down to jot something down.

"A little salt, how much is a little? And the heat needs to be controlled at medium, how much is medium, and why medium?" she muttered to herself, her pen tip sliding quickly across the notebook.

Xiao Ze glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and couldn't help but chuckle: "Actually, learning to cook requires some experience. You can't learn to cook by just trying to learn on your own."

Like a child caught doing something wrong, Shui Bing'er hurriedly closed the notebook, a faint blush rising on her cheeks: "I...I just...wanted to cook something edible."

Chapter 207 A Happy Ordinary Girl

"When I have time, I can teach you to cook, or I can let Yiran teach you. I'm the one who taught Yiran. Although my cooking skills aren't that great, I'm sure I can teach you without any problem."

"Thank you... Xiao Ze... brother~~" Shui Bing'er's voice grew softer and redder, her shy appearance was truly adorable.

"To be honest, I should be younger than you, so it's a bit strange that you call me brother," Xiao Ze said with a smile.

"Huh?" Shui Bing'er was taken aback: "Brother Xiao Ze, how old are you?"

"He's about thirteen years old now."

"Uh." Shui Bing'er was taken aback. This guy was two years younger than her.

Is Brother Xiao Ze really that talented?

She's a Soul Master at fifteen, already a top-tier talent. Brother Xiao Ze must have innate full soul power, how amazing.

Xiao Ze naturally understood what Shui Bing'er was thinking: "I am not born with full soul power."

"???" Shui Bing'er's mind went blank. She was already very strong with her innate level nine soul power. How could someone who wasn't born with full soul power cultivate faster than her? It's not scientific.

You'll find out then.

The spatula clanged against the wok, and Xiao Ze plated the last dish, turning to the somewhat clumsy girl: "Want to try some?"

Shui Bing'er's eyes widened slightly, like a startled little animal, but she quickly regained her cool expression. Only the blush on the tips of her ears betrayed her feelings. "Is...is it okay?"

"Of course, since you've come to my house, I'll definitely feed you well." Xiao Ze handed over a pair of chopsticks, a gentle smile on his lips.

Shui Bing'er carefully took the chopsticks and gracefully picked up a small piece of fish.

The moment the food touched her lips, her icy blue eyes lit up, and she unconsciously widened them slightly: "Delicious!"

After finishing her meal, Shui Bing'er secretly flipped through her notebook and jotted down a few notes. Her earnestness was so adorable that you couldn't help but want to ruffle her hair.

"It's delicious, I'll eat more later."

"Uh-huh."

“Actually… I’ve had a dream of cooking since I was little.” Shui Bing’er suddenly spoke, her head lowered, her fingers unconsciously stroking her notebook: “My mother died early, and my father was busy with academy affairs, and then he passed away.”

Before my aunt came, I was the one taking care of my older sister. Unfortunately, I'm a terrible cook, and that period is a memorable one for both of us.

Xiao Ze was slightly taken aback, not expecting this seemingly aloof girl to suddenly open up to him.

He softened his voice: "In that case, if you want to learn, you can come here. I will teach you cooking skills every day. You have to believe that you can learn with your talent."

And even if you're not a great cook, I can teach you other things, like the pastries and cakes Rongrong makes, which are perfect for girls like you.”

Shui Bing'er looked up, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, and smiled, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Xiao Ze couldn't help but pat her head.

Shui Bing'er blushed and lowered her head slightly.

"Ahem... Let's start with the simplest thing. How about we try frying an egg now?" Xiao Ze pointed to the stove.

Shui Bing'er nodded vigorously. She was as happy as a child at that moment, and couldn't wait to stand in front of the stove, but she seemed a little at a loss because she was unfamiliar with it.

Xiao Ze was taken aback. "What kind of food do you cook at home? I'm not very familiar with these things."

The task is arduous and the road ahead is long.

Shui Bing'er is clearly not the kind of player with natural talent; she can only take it one step at a time.

Xiao Ze stood behind her, gently guiding her hand as he demonstrated the movement, deliberately maintaining a polite distance. "Let's do it like this for now, don't make the fire too big."

Shui Bing'er listened intently, nodding occasionally, a faint fragrance wafting from her hair into Xiao Ze's nostrils.

When the first barely passable fried egg came out of the pan, a bright smile bloomed on her face, like the first snow melting in spring.

"I did it! I did it for the first time!" she cheered softly, then seemed to realize she had lost her composure and returned to her usual cool demeanor, though the joy in her eyes was impossible to hide.

Looking at her like this, Xiao Ze couldn't help but smile as well.

He saw a side of Shui Bing'er that was little known to others.

She wasn't the aloof ice goddess in other people's eyes, but just an ordinary girl who would be happy to learn how to fry an egg.

Outside the kitchen window, Shuiyue'er and Huowu were peeking through the window at what was happening inside.

The two of them, unusually, did not mock each other, but instead puffed out their cheeks at the same time.

"My little sister actually ran away." Shuiyue muttered angrily in a low voice.

"You have the nerve to say that? I never thought that it was your sister who took care of you when you were little. You really are just a child who never grew up."

"Nonsense." Shui Yue'er blushed slightly.
