So he said loudly, "Senior Meng, what you're saying makes it sound like I'm bullying Senior Orange! In front of so many people, I can swear on my honor that Senior Orange cried because she felt that the grilled fish I made was so delicious. That's called... tears of joy!"
Upon hearing this, Meng Hongchen immediately became interested. "Oh? Is it really that delicious? If what you say is true, your cooking skills are indeed quite good. I haven't eaten yet, so give me five skewers of grilled fish."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao immediately picked up five skewers of grilled fish, put them into a metal plate, and handed them to Meng Hongchen.
Just as Meng Hongchen was about to take the grilled fish, Ju Zi reached out and snatched the metal plate full of grilled fish.
Then Orange stood in front of the grill, blocking Meng Hongchen. She stared at Meng Hongchen, looking like she was protecting her food. She parted her red lips and her soft voice rang out: "Yuhao promised me that this meal was for me! So, these grilled fish are mine! Miss Meng, even if you are the dean's granddaughter, sometimes you should be reasonable."
The orange is still young, and in terms of maturity, it cannot compare to the future emperor and empress who will dominate the battlefield.
Moreover, Ju Zi is the kind of woman who gets jealous very easily and will immediately show it. In the original novel, even though the Empress and the God of War knew that Huo Gua's real girlfriend was Tang Wutong, they would deliberately say a few sarcastic things about Tang Wutong in front of Huo Gua.
Therefore, Ju Zi found Meng Hongchen's attempt to eat grilled fish together unacceptable. She felt as if something Huo Yuhao had promised her had suddenly been taken away by another woman. Moreover, the grilled fish Huo Yuhao had promised her contained the taste of her father!
Meng Hongchen was stunned for a moment, then gave Ju Zi a deep look. She also lost her temper. As the granddaughter of Jing Hongchen, the head of Mingde Hall, she had been spoiled since childhood. Although her temper was better than Xiao Hongchen's, she was not without temper.
If the orange in front of her were an extremely handsome male Soul Master, Meng Hongchen would immediately bow and apologize without saying a word, and might even give some gifts to make amends. After all, she is a sucker for good looks. Of course, she has very high standards for appearance. According to her standards of beauty, "extremely handsome" means perfect looks.
Do such people really exist?
For Meng Hongchen, she had never met such a person in her life so far, so naturally she could not back down to Ju Zi.
"Ju Zi, no matter what, it was Junior Yuhao who cooked the grilled fish... Did you ask Junior Yuhao's opinion before doing this?" Meng Hongchen's face showed a faint smile. "I think sometimes people should learn to respect others, don't you think, Ju Zi?"
Orange snorted, "Miss Meng, you don't need to worry about this. This is between Yuhao and me, and it has nothing to do with you!"
She wasn't worried about Xu Tianran finding out about these words. After all, she was just Xu Tianran's subordinate now, and there was still a long way to go before she became the Crown Princess. She knew very well that Xu Tianran was a cold-hearted person who treated everyone as a tool. Even she, who was deeply trusted by Xu Tianran, was actually one of Xu Tianran's tools.
"Ju Zi, come and fight me at the Soul Arena. Whoever wins gets the grilled fish!" Meng Hongchen's expression changed slightly, and he placed his hand on the Soul Guidance Gun at his waist.
Orange shook her head. "I'm no match for Miss Meng. Besides, these grilled fish were originally given to me by Yuhao. Why should I fight you to decide who gets them?"
"Miss Meng, if you like grilled fish, you can easily buy it from the cafeteria with your money! Of course, if Miss Meng insists on using her power and status to forcibly seize it, then I will have no choice but to fight back against the dean's granddaughter's oppression!"
"Ju Zi!" Meng Hongchen glared fiercely at Ju Zi, her breathing somewhat unsteady. After all, she was only a thirteen-year-old girl, and she couldn't compare to Ju Zi, a young empress and war goddess, in terms of mental fortitude.
"Alright, alright, senior sisters, stop arguing. I can grill some more fish so everyone can have some. After all, I bought a lot of fresh fish, and it would be a waste if we didn't grill and eat them right away." Huo Yuhao was also a little helpless. He walked to the two of them and gave his suggestion.
"For Huo Yuhao's sake, I won't bother with certain people! After all, some people are even more petty than the Soft Bone Rabbit of the Star Dou Great Forest!" Meng Hongchen said calmly, her arms crossed.
Orange snorted and didn't say anything more. Her appetite was limited, and finishing the grilled fish that had already been cooked was her limit.
So she gave Huo Yuhao face and walked to the grill to slowly savor the remaining grilled fish, a happy expression occasionally appearing on her face.
The students nearby were stunned by what they saw. They wondered what was going on. Why did Ju Zi and Meng Hongchen seem to be at odds? Could it be that Huo Yuhao had not only hooked up with Ju Zi, but also with Meng Hongchen?
It's not surprising that these students thought that way. After all, it's almost unimaginable that two famous beauties from the academy would have such a huge argument over a skewer of grilled fish, and even almost come to blows.
Chapter 29 Tianmeng: Yuhao, you are my brother!
In this world, Soul Masters are undoubtedly a high-income group compared to ordinary people. Therefore, grilled fish is an extremely cheap thing for any Soul Master, and it is generally difficult for them to argue over a skewer of grilled fish.
After all, most students have eaten grilled fish and know that the taste of grilled fish is actually just average, and grilled fish does not have any effect on increasing soul power.
Furthermore, students are teenagers, full of energy, so their imaginations are generally very strong. If you give them a Blue Silver Grass, a Soft Bone Rabbit, and a Human-Faced Demon Spider, they might be able to conjure up a heart-wrenching love triangle story.
So, in some people's eyes, what Ju Zi and Meng Hongchen were fighting over wasn't grilled fish at all! They were fighting over someone's affection.
Thinking of this, many students looked at Huo Yuhao with envy. Putting aside the oranges for now, if he could hook up with Meng Hongchen, he could save at least a hundred years of hard work! After all, Meng Hongchen was a famous little rich girl with a strong background and was also a genius and beautiful girl, so Meng Hongchen's popularity in the academy could be said to be quite high.
In the sea of the spirit.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm stared in disbelief at the scene. "Yuhao, brother, I feel like they're treating you a little differently. Two women... you're a bit of a womanizer! Are all soul beasts, ptooey, all humans this fickle? I've learned something new!"
"Brother Tianmeng, don't talk nonsense. It's not even close to happening yet! What do you mean by 'womanizer'!" Huo Yuhao said righteously.
Tianmeng Bingcan's voice suddenly turned serious, "Yuhao, don't call me Brother Tianmeng anymore. From now on, you can call me Brother Tianmeng, and I'll call you Brother Huo!"
Huo Yuhao: ? ? ?
Tianmeng Bingcan, what's wrong with you? Didn't you tell me to call you Brother Tianmeng? Why are you telling me to call you Brother Tianmeng now? How about we go down a generation and make you the youngest of the youngest, Brother Tianmeng?
"Brother Tianmeng, stop messing around. Just say what you want to say! Don't beat around the bush."
"Alright, then I'll get straight to the point. I have a friend who's fallen for a different kind of spirit beast, but that spirit beast doesn't like him and even wants to eat him. So, he urgently needs you, a promising young man who's caught between two girls, to guide him in his relationship..." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said somewhat nervously.
What do you mean by a promising young man who can juggle two girls? It makes me sound like a notorious womanizer... Huo Yuhao said helplessly, "Brother Tianmeng, is the friend you're talking about yourself?"
"Hmm?" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was about to deny it, but then it thought that if Ice Emperor also moved into the Sea of Spirit in the future, this matter would eventually have to be brought to a close. Denying it now seemed to have little meaning, so it hesitated for a moment.
After a moment, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm hesitated and said, "How do you know that friend is me?"
"Because I answered the questions based on the answers, I won't make any mistakes..." Huo Yuhao immediately replied, "In short, you really like that soul beast, right?"
"Yes, of course. I love that soul beast very much and have been trying to please it, but it hasn't been very appreciative. So, do you have any good ideas to help me win over that soul beast?" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said seriously.
"I don't understand love among soul beasts," Huo Yuhao said.
“I think all love is the same. After all, your human Tang San also had a love story with the soul beast Xiao Wu. Although I did not witness their love, as far as I know, Xiao Wu even sacrificed herself for Tang San…” Tianmeng Ice Silkworm brought up a similar case.
Huo Yuhao remained silent for a while, thinking to himself that the qualitative change in the relationship between Tianmeng and Bingdi in the original work began at Qiankun Wenqing Valley, and he definitely did not intend to go to Qiankun Wenqing Valley.
After all, the Valley of Love and Destiny was Tang Buddha's favorite episode, and also the most difficult one for him to watch in his previous life. He had been enjoying the academy storyline in the early episodes, but then the Valley of Love and Destiny suddenly appeared, which was like a knife to his heart.
However, it must be said that Tang Buddha's perverse sense of humor is just as bad as ever. This Qiankun Asking Love Valley is really unnecessary. The various tests of emotions are indeed outrageous. Not to mention turning Ning Tian into a man, he even went so far as to make Dong'er live and Qiu'er become a vegetable.
Just outrageous!
The Qiankun Love Stage: Come and have some crazy fun!
"I can't give any suitable advice, Brother Tianmeng. Aren't you overestimating me? I'm still an eleven-year-old child. How can you bear to let a child give you advice on your love life? How old are you? The Sun Moon Empire hasn't even existed as long as you've lived!"
"Okay, it was my fault." Tianmeng Bingcan was also a little ashamed, thinking that it was true. Yuhao was only an eleven-year-old child after all, and asking him such a question seemed to be a bit too early.
"Okay, I'll grill the fish first."
Huo Yuhao started grilling fish for Meng Hongchen.
.....
At this moment, on the fifth floor of the library.
Xiao Hongchen was intently reading a book titled "Soul Guidance Core Technology: This is the Core Array of a Level 5 Soul Guidance Device, as Xuan Ziwen Explains." The book discussed the details and precautions for inscribing a Level 5 core array, without holding anything back.
For Xiao Hongchen, this is a good learning book. He needs to absorb some knowledge from it and then combine it with the practical exercises taught by his grandfather in order to better master the method of inscribing a level-five core magic array.
Just then, a student dressed in white rushed in. This was one of Xiao Hongchen's henchmen. He hurriedly said, "Brother Xiao, something terrible has happened! Miss Meng has been kidnapped by a man!"
"What did you say! How is this possible!" Xiao Hongchen was shocked. How long had it been since he and Meng separated? In such a short time, the cabbage had been eaten by a pig?
Wait a minute, isn't Meng always very particular about her partner's appearance? Could it be that she met an extremely handsome male Soul Master?
Impossible, absolutely impossible! Xiao Hongchen was somewhat unwilling to believe this fact. After all, in Meng Hongchen's heart, her spouse must be more handsome than her brother!
If someone is more handsome than me, wouldn't that put me at a disadvantage?
"Who is this person?" Xiao Hongchen asked with a serious expression.
"Huo Yuhao!" the underling said.
"Huo Yuhao?" Xiao Hongchen sat down and said in a calm tone, "This is a rumor! Go back and don't bother me with rumors. I am currently immersed in the ocean of knowledge and need to concentrate on reading."
He admitted that Huo Yuhao was indeed somewhat handsome and a talented Soul Master, but in terms of looks, Huo Yuhao still couldn't compare to him! How could someone like Huo Yuhao attract Meng with just his looks!
As the older brother, he knew that his younger sister was simply a sucker for good looks!
"But..." I'd like to say a little more.
"Alright, you can go back now. I need to continue studying!" Xiao Hongchen urged him to leave, so the underling had no choice but to go.
Chapter 30 Level Two Soul Master (Please continue reading)
"The grilled fish is ready," Huo Yuhao said.
"Hmm." Meng Hongchen walked over to the grill, took out a skewer of grilled fish, and began to eat.
Soon, her eyes lit up as she said, "Huo Yuhao, your cooking skills are truly excellent. This is the best grilled fish I've ever eaten. Even the imperial chefs in the Sun Moon Palace cannot compare to you when it comes to grilled fish."
In an instant, Meng Hongchen became increasingly curious about Huo Yuhao. After all, Huo Yuhao was a genius in the field of soul tools, and he was also unparalleled in cooking skills. Such people were rare.
"Senior Sister Meng, you flatter me," Huo Yuhao said modestly.
"Have you ever considered selling grilled meat? Anyway, other meats and fish are pretty much the same. With your cooking skills, you should be able to make this kind of meat very delicious."
"Senior Sister Meng, the profit from selling barbecue is too low, far less than making soul tools. If I make just one level-one soul tool and sell it, the profit I make is at least equivalent to several hundred skewers of barbecue!" Huo Yuhao said.
That's true. Even in Shrek City, where prices are extremely high, ordinary roasted meat can't fetch an exorbitant price, since roasted meat doesn't enhance strength.
Meng Hongchen rolled her eyes, casually setting up a soundproof soul tool to prevent the conversation from being overheard by other students nearby. Then she said mysteriously, "What I mean is, you make barbecue and sell it to me, and I'll buy it at a high price."
"Hmm? A high-priced acquisition?" Huo Yuhao asked, somewhat puzzled.
“Yes.” Meng Hongchen moved closer to Huo Yuhao, gazing at him, and said, “I’ll give you some soul beast meat. You’ll be in charge of processing it, and I’ll be in charge of finding channels to sell it… Don’t worry, I have an excellent sales target here. I guarantee we can both make a lot of money!”
"This..." Huo Yuhao became increasingly puzzled. He said, "Senior Sister Meng, may I ask who this perfect candidate is?"
"Don't ask anymore!" Meng Hongchen sighed. "Anyway, all you need to do is grill the meat. Don't worry, it won't take up too much of your time. You only need to prepare one meal a day at noon, since that guy's appetite is limited! As for the price... I'll give you two hundred gold soul coins for each skewer of grilled meat as a processing fee!"
"Okay!" Huo Yuhao calculated his hand speed and felt that he could do this job. You know, according to the original work, if it were in the Shrek Academy cafeteria, the top-level dishes that Zhou Yi took Huo Yuhao to eat would only cost more than thirty gold soul coins.
So he continued grilling fish, working hard to earn gold soul coins.
Although he could make money by making soul tools, low-level soul tools didn't actually earn much. Even the level 4 milk bottle, which was extremely novel in the early part of the original novel in Star Luo, only sold for 25,000 gold soul coins at the auction.
"Aside from the grilled fish business, my main goals next, besides cultivating my soul power, are to pass the Level 2 Soul Master assessment..." His mind was racing.
The fifth floor of the library.
"Teacher Xuan Ziwen truly lives up to his reputation as an eighth-level Soul Master. I have benefited greatly from reading this book!"
Xiao Hongchen slowly closed the book, a look of satisfaction appearing on his face.
He stood up and slowly paced back and forth. As he reached the window, his mind raced with thoughts. "However, even so, I cannot relax in the slightest. After all, Huo Yuhao's threat is imminent. I must leave behind a record that he cannot surpass in order to maintain my position as the number one genius!"
"Huo Yuhao, I'll show you that in the Sun Moon Empire, I am the number one genius, a once-in-a-millennium talent!"
He clenched his fist, and the image of Huo Yuhao praising his exceptional talent and expressing his inferiority, willing to be his subordinate, flashed through his mind. Thinking of this, a smile appeared on his lips.
Just then, footsteps sounded behind him, followed by a woman's voice: "Xiao, so you really were secretly studying here!"
"Huh? Meng? What are you doing here? What do you mean by secretly studying? I didn't hide the fact that I came to the library to study the Level 5 Core Formation." Xiao Hongchen turned around and looked at Meng Hongchen at the entrance of the corridor.
"Xiao, you've been studying for so long, you must be hungry," Meng Hongchen asked.
