Chapter 7: Chicken is best eaten hot to preserve its original flavor.
“The chicken’s ready, time to eat!”
Huo Yuhao took the chicken off the grill and handed the first one to Tang Ya.
“Sister Xiaoya, eat quickly! Chicken is best eaten hot to preserve its original flavor. If it cools down, it won’t leave that lingering taste on your lips and teeth!”
“Wow! (￣ ￣)”
Tang Ya quickly took the chicken. Gazing at the chicken in front of her, she licked her lips, looking extremely eager.
Waiting for so long, it was the slowest period of time she had experienced in her life, something she had never felt before meeting Huo Yuhao.
Besides Tang Ya, Huo Yuhao also gave a chicken to Beibei.
To be honest, he didn’t like Beibei, and he also disliked Beibei’s great-granduncle, Mu En.
When Beibei was very young, Mu En had already arranged a child bride for him, pre-determining Zhang Lexuan’s life. He even called it helping Zhang Lexuan grow, and Zhang Lexuan was grateful for it. What a clever move!
However, his current strength was still weak, and he couldn't fall out with Beibei just yet. So, he decided to maintain a good relationship with Beibei for now and deal with it later!
Looking at the tempting chicken, Tang Ya finally couldn't resist and quickly gripped it tightly in her hand.
With one bite, the crispy skin, the rich fat between the skin and meat, the tender flesh, accompanied by the fresh aroma of lychee wood, satisfied her taste buds to the maximum.
The chicken, soft and sweet to the tongue, made her abandon all pretense and feast heartily, unable to stop.
Beibei, who hadn't even taken a bite yet, noticed that Tang Ya had already eaten more than half of her chicken. This further solidified his understanding of Tang Ya as a true foodie.
Beibei wondered, “Is this chicken really that delicious?”
Skeptical, Beibei broke off a chicken leg. Delicious chicken juice slowly flowed from between the meat, accompanied by glistening oil, instantly making his appetite surge.
So, Beibei took a direct bite and was instantly stunned.
The chicken’s juices exploded in his mouth, intoxicating him.
Paired with Huo Yuhao’s unique seasonings and spices, the chicken’s flavor became even richer and more diverse, leaving an unforgettable aftertaste that made him crave more!
Soon, the three had completely devoured the roasted chicken.
“Yuhao, I never thought your chicken would be so delicious. I’m so full I can barely walk!”
Tang Ya showed a satisfied smile. These past two days were the best she had eaten. She had never imagined that simple three meals a day could be so enjoyable!
“Ding! Tang Ya’s favorability has increased by 5%, current favorability: 80%.”
Hearing the system’s voice in his mind, Huo Yuhao was immediately thrilled.
Tang Ya’s favorability towards him had already reached 80%, only 20% more to reach 100%.
According to the system’s usual behavior, it probably wouldn’t give him rewards until it reached 100%.
And now, with only 20% left to reach 100%, Huo Yuhao saw hope!
Tianmeng Iceworm had witnessed everything that had happened over these two days!
“Hey, kid, you’re quite popular with women. I see that girl is quite fond of you!”
At this moment, Tianmeng Iceworm’s voice echoed in Huo Yuhao’s consciousness space, with a teasing tone.
“Brother Tianmeng, are you jealous? How about I find you a woman to relax a bit?”
Huo Yuhao, not to be outdone, said with a smile.
“Tch, forget it. I’m a loyal person; I wouldn’t fall for someone else!”
As Tianmeng Iceworm spoke, a beautiful figure appeared in his mind. Every time he thought of that figure, Tianmeng Iceworm would smile knowingly!
“Alright, I’m done chatting with you. I’m going into a period of hibernation. During this time, unless there’s a life-threatening danger, don’t wake me up!”
As soon as Tianmeng Iceworm finished speaking, without waiting for Huo Yuhao’s response, he immediately fell into a deep sleep.
Huo Yuhao was speechless. Although he had two powerful beings within him, one ignored him, busy with who knows what.
The other was a sleepyhead who constantly slept and couldn’t offer him much help for the time being.
And there was the system, which hadn’t given him any rewards yet, requiring him to continuously gain favorability!
Thinking of all this gave Huo Yuhao a headache!
It seemed he still had to rely on himself!
“Hey, Yuhao, what’s wrong?”
Tang Ya saw Huo Yuhao standing still, not saying a word, and thought something was wrong with him. So, she waved her right hand in front of his eyes!
“Ah, oh!”
Huo Yuhao emerged from his consciousness space, giving an awkward smile. “Sister Xiaoya, I’m sorry, I was just spacing out!”
“Oh, that’s what it was. You scared me. I thought you were too tired from making chicken!”
“Uh…”
Tang Ya’s words left Huo Yuhao speechless for a moment, so he quickly changed the subject.
“By the way, Sister Xiaoya, aren’t you still looking for your third spirit ring?”
“Ah! I almost forgot if you hadn’t mentioned it!”
Tang Ya scratched her head and glanced at Beibei beside her. “It’s all Beibei’s fault for not reminding me. He was too busy eating chicken and almost made me forget about important matters!”
A string of black lines appeared above Beibei’s head!
Didn’t you just keep praising Huo Yuhao’s chicken as delicious?
You were enjoying yourself so much; even if I had kindly reminded you, you definitely wouldn’t have wanted to leave then, would you?
Beibei was speechless again!
“Let’s go, finding your third spirit ring is more important!”
Beibei took the lead and walked ahead.
Tang Ya and Huo Yuhao walked behind.
The three walked for two hours but did not find a suitable spirit ring for Tang Ya.
“Yuhao, why are you so close to me?”
At this moment, Huo Yuhao was following closely behind Tang Ya, almost merging with her.
“Sister, I’m scared!”
Huo Yuhao deliberately said, acting troubled.
The address “sister” was something he and Tang Ya had agreed upon beforehand. If there was a third person present, Huo Yuhao would call her Sister Xiaoya.
If it was just the two of them, they would address each other as brother and sister!
“Don’t be afraid, little brother, your sister will protect you!”
Hearing Huo Yuhao say this, Tang Ya’s sympathy surged. She took his hand and responded softly.
Tang Ya’s fingers were slender, like spring onions, fair as jade, with distinct knuckles.
Holding her hand felt as comfortable as holding a ball of cotton, making him feel refreshed and joyful!
“Sister, I’ll release my spirit ability in a moment. Be prepared!”
With the experience from last time, Huo Yuhao informed Tang Ya in advance to avoid any more awkward situations.
“Mm!”
Tang Ya nodded, indicating that she understood.
The next moment, a brilliant light emanated from Huo Yuhao’s eyes.
Tang Ya’s body suddenly stiffened. At this moment, her way of perceiving the world changed, transforming into a 360-degree detection ability with no blind spots!
This was Yuhao’s spirit ability, simply too heaven-defying, wasn’t it?
This was the first time Tang Ya had seriously experienced his spirit ability. Last time, she was too shocked, which startled Huo Yuhao, causing him to quickly retract his spirit ability, so she didn’t have time to understand its true function.
And now, she truly felt the power of Huo Yuhao’s spirit ability!
