Chapter 6: Good Luck, Let's Eat Chicken Together
The next morning,
Tang Ya woke up from a spring dream and found that Huo Yuhao was no longer by her side.
Then, she suddenly remembered something and quickly checked below, sighing in relief when she found everything intact.
Thank goodness!
It hasn't been developed yet!
Just then, Bei Bei also woke up.
"Bei Bei, do you know where Yuhao went?"
Seeing Bei Bei awake, Tang Ya went to his side and asked.
Bei Bei symbolically looked around and found that there were only him and Tang Ya here, no one else.
So he said with a look of disdain, "Perhaps he has his own ideas and doesn't want to be with us, so he left on his own.
Later, I'll help you find a suitable thousand-year soul ring. Once you've absorbed it, we'll leave here too. Don't worry about him!"
Bei Bei couldn't wait for Huo Yuhao to leave!
With that kid around, he noticed Huo Yuhao and Tang Ya's relationship becoming increasingly intimate, which made him a little worried, fearing that Huo Yuhao would disrupt his plans!
However, his words displeased Tang Ya.
"Impossible, Yuhao would never leave us alone!"
Tang Ya remembered what Huo Yuhao had told her last night—that he would always support her from behind. How could he possibly leave her?
So, she felt that what Bei Bei had just said was completely inappropriate.
She couldn't understand why Bei Bei was constantly targeting Huo Yuhao; he had changed so much from the Bei Bei she knew!
However, she also remembered that from the time she met Bei Bei until now, he had given her a lot of help, which still made her quite grateful.
So, after thinking it over, she still wanted to ease the tension between the two of them.
Tang Ya tried to calm her impending outburst and spoke to Bei Bei in a composed manner:
"Bei Bei, I think what you said was very impolite. How can we abandon Yuhao and leave on our own before he returns?"
"He's just a Soul Master who just obtained his first soul ring. If he's left here alone, it's very dangerous!"
"Dangerous?"
Bei Bei's lips curved slightly into a playful smile. "I think his methods are much more clever. Maybe if he cooks a few delicious meals for those soul beasts, he can avoid disaster?"
Hearing Bei Bei's sarcasm, Tang Ya could no longer suppress her anger.
"Enough, Bei Bei! I've been tolerating you these past two days. How can you say such things?"
"Yuhao is still a child. I don't know how he offended you, but you keep looking down on him again and again! Is it just because his strength and talent aren't as good as yours that you act this way?"
Tang Ya had originally wanted to ease their relationship, but she didn't expect Bei Bei to be so set in his ways, still holding such a strong prejudice against Huo Yuhao.
She knew that she had lost her parents at a young age and was all alone, yearning for family affection!
Huo Yuhao had just recognized her as his older sister last night, so she naturally considered him family.
Now that she regarded Huo Yuhao as her younger brother, she naturally wanted to protect him for life!
"Tang Ya, he's just an insignificant character. As far as I know, he's already over ten years old and only a Soul Master. I don't understand why you care so much about him?"
Bei Bei voiced his confusion. After all, they had only known each other for two days. How could that compare to the years of mutual support between him and Tang Ya?
However, it would have been better if Bei Bei hadn't said anything; his words only made Tang Ya even angrier.
"Just a Soul Master?"
"Bei Bei, in your heart, is strength everything?"
"My talent isn't strong either, so I guess I probably wouldn't catch your eye, would I?"
Tang Ya pointed at Bei Bei with one hand and put the other on her hip, scolding him loudly.
Oh, really!
I, Tang Ya, thought you were a gentleman, but I didn't expect you to be someone who only values strength. I even brought you into the Tang Sect and treated you so well. This is simply outrageous!
Just as the two were arguing, a figure suddenly appeared.
"Who's there?"
Hearing the movement, both of them immediately looked in one direction.
They saw a young man with an unusual glint in his eyes, holding three wild chickens, appearing before them.
"Little Yuhao, you..."
Tang Ya pointed at the wild chickens in Huo Yuhao's hand, her face full of surprise.
Huo Yuhao showed an honest and simple smile, "Uh, I just went and caught three wild chickens. I wanted to make breakfast for you guys..."
Huo Yuhao's words were like an arrow, instantly striking Tang Ya's heart.
"Yu... Yuhao, you said you just went to catch wild chickens?"
Tang Ya was incredibly moved and could no longer suppress her emotions.
She rushed to Huo Yuhao's front, hugged him tightly, and whispered through her tears, "Wuwu, silly little brother, do you know how worried your sister was? You can't do this again! Wuwu!"
Huo Yuhao was startled by Tang Ya's sudden action and was at a loss for what to do for a moment.
【Ding! Tang Ya's favorability increased by 5%. Current favorability: 75%】
It seems Tang Ya was moved by his actions, which was an unexpected gain for Huo Yuhao!
"Sister, don't worry. Your little brother is very capable. If you don't believe me, I'll let you see for yourself someday!"
Huo Yuhao teased, making Tang Ya's face flush instantly.
"Hmph! Naughty boy, if you keep this up, your sister won't care about you anymore!"
Tang Ya pouted, lightly punched his chest, and feigned anger.
After a while, Tang Ya slowly pulled away from Huo Yuhao, turned her head, and wiped away her tears!
All of this was witnessed by Bei Bei, who was standing by.
At this moment, Bei Bei's eyes were cold, his hands tightly clenched, and he glared at Huo Yuhao through gritted teeth.
If Tang Ya hadn't been there, he would have had an impulse to kill Huo Yuhao immediately.
"Little Ya-jie, Bei Bei-ge, I'll make you roasted chicken later. It definitely won't be worse than last night's sausage noodles!"
Huo Yuhao held up the wild chickens in his hand and said.
"Tch, you're just a good-for-nothing who can only cook!"
Bei Bei muttered softly, then was met with Tang Ya's cold glare, which scared him into not saying anything more!
However, when Tang Ya faced Huo Yuhao, she had a completely different expression.
"Alright, Yuhao, we'll just wait to eat your chicken!"
Tang Ya smiled happily, already faintly anticipating Huo Yuhao's chicken!
After all, the fish Huo Yuhao roasted and the sausage noodles he made before were already delicacies. She really wondered what his chicken would taste like?
The taste certainly wouldn't be bad!
Since their location was on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, the soul beasts they encountered were not very strong. With Bei Bei's strength, they could handle them completely, so the group didn't have to worry about safety.
Huo Yuhao found an open space, dug a small pit, and set up all three wild chickens.
As the temperature rose, the aroma of the barbecue made Bei Bei and Tang Ya involuntarily swallow their saliva.
Looking at the sizzling roasted chicken, Tang Ya licked her lips. She couldn't wait and asked Huo Yuhao several times when the chicken would be ready.
