Chapter 1: The Spiritual Youth (4)

  You guys are really amazing. The new book is ranked first. I saw some book friends saying that when Juyedoro quit, they were stunned for a moment, and then remembered that Juyedoro was Guan Guan, haha.

  No problem, another update is here. Moreover, I have decided that before the end of Shen Yin, there will be an update for Absolution every day, otherwise how can I repay your enthusiasm? Right?

  I love you guys! Come on, let's keep pushing forward and first take down the member click ranking online! The battle has begun!

  Furthermore, tomorrow night at 12 o'clock, a grand feast belonging to our Tangmen will be presented. The unrivaled Tangmen will rush to the top of the charts, and I will end the Divine Seal Throne ahead of schedule, giving the Divine Seal one last burst, which will likely have at least more than six chapters, directly completing all the content of the Divine Seal, as a thank you for everyone's support. So, tomorrow night, don't forget to come! At that time, Tangmen will also definitely have an update presented.

  The girl walking in front had already run three steps and made two steps, jumping to the front of Huo Yu Hao with a greedy look: "Little brother, are you selling this roasted fish? It smells so good! How did you make it?"

  Beautiful girl, He Yu Hao wasn't unseen before, in the Duke's mansion, there were even many maids who were very beautiful, but he had never been in such close contact with one before. Moreover, none of the women in the Duke's mansion could compare to this young girl in front of him. This girl was not a perfect beauty without any flaws, but she had an elegant and refined temperament.

  Huo Yu Hao's small face turned slightly red as he said: "I... I'll treat you guys to a meal."

  The girl giggled and said, "Little brother, you're still shy. Well, I won't be polite then." As she spoke, she took the roasted fish from He Yu Hao's hand and sat down beside him, awkwardly fanning herself with her hands while eating carefully.

  The boy who was with the girl also walked over at this time, and with a helpless face, he first raised his hand to greet Huo Yu Hao, then said to the girl: "Xiao Ya, this little brother hasn't eaten yet, but you've already started eating."

  Xiaoya's beautiful eyes widened in anger and she shouted: "What did you just call me?"

  The boy suddenly raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, "Okay, Teacher Xiao Ya, that's enough."

  Xiao Ya gave him a glance and said, "This is more like it, pay attention to your identity." Although she was not very old, this glance was full of charm, the young man couldn't help but stare blankly, and Huo Yuhao beside him didn't dare look again, handing over the other roasted fish to the young man, saying: "Big brother, please have some too."

  The young man smiled slightly and said, "A gentleman does not take away what others like. Little brother, you haven't eaten yet. Did you catch these fish from the river?"

  Huò Yǔhào nodded and said, "It's okay, I can still roast some more." As he spoke, he stood up and handed the roasted fish to the young man, while he himself skillfully placed the other two processed roasted fish on the wooden rack to continue roasting.

  The young man smiled warmly and said: "My name is BeiBei, her name is TangYa, little brother, what's your name?"

  "My name is Huo Yu Hao." Huo Yu Hao replied seriously while roasting the fish. On his journey, he had encountered travelers many times when camping outdoors and received a lot of help from them. So when Tang Ya asked him for roasted fish to eat, Huo Yu Hao handed it over to her without hesitation. These days had taught him that when traveling outside, people should help each other out.

  Bei Bei sat down beside Tang Ya, and his movements while eating the roasted fish were even more elegant than Tang Ya's. At least he wouldn't get his hands all oily.

  When He Yu Hao's second round of roasted fish was done, Tang Ya had already been waiting there with eager eyes. Under Beibei's helpless gaze, she still snatched one.

  However, this time BeiBei refused to eat again, indicating that Huo YuHao should eat first. Huo YuHao was also very hungry and continued to roast the fish while eating one himself.

  Although the seasoning was simple with only perilla and salt, the roasted fish tasted extremely delicious. More than a dozen fish, although not large in size, were completely devoured by the three of them.

  "It's too delicious. I've never had such a good roasted fish before. He Yu Hao, little brother, why don't I hire you as a chef? Is that okay?" Tang Ya directly lay down on the grass, stretching her waist contentedly, revealing her curves without realizing it. Bei Bei looked at her and scratched his head, but was completely helpless.

  "Do you have money? Teacher Xiaoya?" Beibei splashed water and said.

  "Uh... there will be in the future." Tanya sat up somewhat awkwardly, glaring at Beibei with a look of discontent.

  "Huo Yu Hao stood up and said: "Bei Ge, Tang Jie, I'll leave first."

  "Hey, Little Hao, this is a desolate and remote area, and it's not far from the Starry Forest where the Soul Beast appears. Where are you going?"

  Huo Yuhao shook his head, took down the clothes that had basically dried on the branch and put them in his bag. He smiled at the two of them and waved goodbye before turning around to leave under Tang Ya's surprised gaze.

  "He won't be going to the Starry Forest, will he?" Tang Ya said thoughtfully as she watched Huo Yu's departing back.

  Baobei shook her head and said, "It's hard to say. I can vaguely feel that he has soul power, but it's very weak. However, judging from his appearance, he seems to be alone. It's indeed a bit strange."

  Tang Ya stuck out her tongue and said, "You have spiritual power, why don't you absorb it into our Tang Sect?"

  Babe said in a bad mood: "You won't be wanting to absorb me as your disciple just because I'm good at roasting fish, will you?"

  Tang Ya was spoken to the heart, a pretty face turned red, and she stuck out her tongue at Beibei.

  "Bebe said: "This young man must have had some experience, his eyes show a maturity that far surpasses his peers. It's just unknown how his talent is."

  Tang Ya's face lit up with joy, and she said, "So, you agree?"

  Babe smiled wryly and said, "The great Tangmen's master, Miss Tang Ya, before you took me as your disciple, Tangmen was just a lone general. Your ambition is to expand Tangmen, so of course, you would want to recruit suitable people. This Ho Xiao looks quite steady, if his talent is good enough, he's also a choice. From his clothes, it can be seen that his family background shouldn't be too good. Our Tangmen can now only absorb disciples like him."

  Tang Ya looked at Bei Bei with some curiosity and said: "I didn't expect it, you're quite cunning."

  Babe stood up, brushed off her clothes and said: "This is called cleverness, or you can say wisdom, I can accept it. Let's go, after eating so many roasted fish from someone else's house, whether or not to absorb him into the Tang Gate, we should at least protect him for a while, in case he encounters soul beasts and gets into danger."

  Tang Ya also stood up, chuckled and said: "This time you are indeed clever, because you think the same as me. Let's clean up a bit and then we'll go."

  Huo Yu Hao didn't know about the conversation between Bei Bei and Tang Ya after he left. He had originally planned to bring some roasted fish on his journey, but now it couldn't be realized. He didn't want to expose his identity as a Soul Master. That's why he didn't catch any more fish. His mother had taught him that when meeting people, only say three-tenths of what you think, and don't reveal your whole heart. Although he had a good impression of Bei Bei and Tang Ya, after dinner, he still chose to part ways with them.

  Although Huo Yu Hao was young, he had a lot on his mind. He could tell that Tang Ya and Bei Bei weren't ordinary people because as Bei Bei said, this place was desolate and remote, yet they didn't even have any luggage with them. So in the end, he thought it would be better to part ways with these two brothers and sisters as soon as possible.

  After having a good meal, Huo Yu's fatigue had fully recovered. He marked the location of the small stream on the map, and who knows, it might still be useful when he comes back.

  Not long after they set off, a wooden sign by the side of the road caught He Yuhao's attention.

  "Fifty miles ahead, we will enter the Starry Great Forest, where soul beasts roam. Be careful of your safety."

  It seems I didn't take the wrong path after all, and I'm finally about to reach my destination. At this moment, Huo Yu Hao felt excitement as well as a hint of tension. He touched the White Tiger dagger at his lower back, suppressed the unease in his heart, and stepped forward with determination.

  Becoming a Soul Master is the only way out, this is Huo Yuhao's conviction in his heart, he will never regret his decision.

  The air gradually became cooler, and outside the coolness, there seemed to be a special heaviness. The starry forest was like a soul beast with its mouth wide open, waiting for a young life to enter. Opportunity or... swallow!
