The flames danced in the wind, and the dry branches crackled like popping beans.

Huo Yuhao skewered several cleaned Bluefish with thin branches, half-squatting by the fire. His deep blue eyes emitted a faint golden glow, using the Spirit Eye's keen observational skills to control the roasting temperature.

The fire was fueled by Wu Feng's Red Dragon Soul Power Flame, which was far hotter than ordinary flames. Soon, as Huo Yuhao turned the branches, a rich aroma began to waft through the air.

The scent swirled, carrying the allure of food, continuously tempting everyone's appetite. The white, tender fish meat began to turn golden, and the sound of discreet swallowing could be heard around the camp.

Huo Yuhao, limited by his strength and the small, makeshift wooden rack, could only roast three fish at a time. Following the principle of ladies first, he distributed the first batch to Tang Ya, Ning Tian, and Wu Feng. He then wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued his noble culinary endeavor.

"Wow, it smells so good!"

Tang Ya looked at Huo Yuhao with a gaze full of anticipation. She couldn't wait for the fish to cool and took a big bite of the crispy fish skin, the fresh fish meat instantly filling her mouth.

Compared to Tang Ya, who had turned into a glutton, Ning Tian ate more elegantly. Her pearl-like teeth took small bites of the roasted fish, occasionally pouting her red lips to blow away the heat, her eyes flashing with satisfaction.

To be fair, Huo Yuhao's culinary talent was evident, as he had won the stomachs of women like Wang Dong'er and Ju Zi with his food. Even Ning Tian, a princess who had tasted the finest delicacies, nodded in approval.

Seeing Ning Tian's obvious enjoyment of the roasted fish, Wu Feng's crimson eyes darted around. She secretly started another fire, took two fish that Huo Yuhao had prepared, rolled up her sleeves, and began roasting them.

A few minutes later, she proudly handed Ning Tian a roasted fish, her face flushed from the smoke, filled with expectation.

Ning Tian took a small bite, savoring it carefully, and then hesitated, saying:

"Hmm... Little Feng, you must be tired today. Why don't you rest for a bit?"

Low EQ: Complaining about the food.

High EQ: Concern for her fatigue.

"Pfft!"

Ling Bai couldn't hold back her laughter. Clowns were common, but a female clown was rare. "Ah!?"

Wu Feng was dumbfounded. She then took a bite of her own roasted fish, compared it with Huo Yuhao's, and said dejectedly:

"What's going on? The same fish, but the difference is so big?"

"Because your timing and temperature control weren't precise enough, and you also missed the right moment to flip the fish. Also..."

Ling Bai took the second batch of roasted fish from Huo Yuhao, glanced sideways at Wu Feng, and said coolly, "You can't cook, can you? You didn't even use any seasoning for the fish."

|| ||

Wu Feng was stunned, then angrily threw the roasted fish she had prepared for Ning Tian into the river, clearly feeling defeated by Ling Bai again.

Besides Huo Yuhao's roasted fish, everyone took out some food from their storage soul tools and gathered around the campfire, chatting and enjoying a sumptuous dinner, which brought them closer together.

Tang Ya was in high spirits. The delicious food prepared by the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower's food soul master was truly top-notch, leading her to eat too much. After eating and drinking her fill, she patted her slightly bulging belly and fell asleep leaning against a tree.

On the other side, the responsible Bei Bei was teaching his junior brother Huo Yuhao the Mystic Sky Technique and other Tang Sect secrets.

Wu Feng was curious and wanted to see what the famous Tang Sect secrets looked like, but Ling Bai held her back by the neck.

"What are you doing?" Wu Feng said angrily, looking like an angry pufferfish.

"Are you stupid?" Ling Bai said bluntly, "Why should we show you the secrets of another sect?"

"You have a point."

Wu Feng reluctantly gave up her idea of observing and returned to Ning Tian's side.

"It's fine, Ling brother."

Bei Bei had just finished teaching the Tang Sect secrets and had Huo Yuhao practice the Mystic Sky Technique on his own. He stood up, stretching his sore muscles. Helping Huo Yuhao break through several blocked acupoints had been quite tiring. He said warmly:

"The Tang Sect is no longer as prosperous as it once was, and it is a time of revival. If Wu Feng sister likes the Tang Sect secrets and wants to join, Tang Ya and I will warmly welcome her, and we won't force her to leave the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower. The same goes for Ling brother and Ning sister; as long as you contribute to the Tang Sect's revival in the future, that's all we ask."

Bei Bei naturally had his own motives. Nine-Colored Fairy Ning Rongrong had once joined the Tang Sect, which was a historical connection between the Tang Sect and the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower. If he could attract geniuses like Ling Bai and Ning Tian, the Tang Sect's revival would be truly hopeful, just as it had been bolstered by the Seven Treasures Crystal Sect ten

thousand years ago!

"Thank you for your kindness, Bei brother, but we have no plans to join another sect for now."

Ning Tian was much more astute than the naive Wu Feng and politely declined Bei Bei's

invitation.

Ha, the Tang Sect, with barely enough people to count on one hand, why would a lady of a prestigious sect lower herself?

Ning Rongrong had joined the Tang Sect because of the bond with the Seven Monsters and the near-destruction of the sect by the Soul Temple!

Ling Bai's reason for refusing the Tang Sect was even simpler.

Tang San's sect?

Forget it!

With the recruitment plan failing, Bei Bei didn't press the issue. Everyone tacitly moved on from the topic and discussed who would take the night watch.

In the end, the two boys took on the gentlemanly role and volunteered to take the night watch, while the girls fell into a sweet slumber, and Huo Yuhao continued his cultivation. It was his first time, after all, and the experience was somewhat special. Bei Bei looked at Ning Tian, who was sleeping peacefully in Ling Bai's arms, and asked curiously, "Ling brother, how did you join the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower?"

The flickering yellow flames cast a nostalgic light on Ling Bai's face as he said softly, "By fate, I suppose. The Nine Treasures Crystal Tower's leader found me as a baby." Ling Bai was very grateful to the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower's leader. As a defenseless infant in a new world, if not for the leader's adoption, he might not have survived this long.

"Is that so..."

Bei Bei pondered. The Nine Treasures Crystal Tower had abandoned the grudge from ten thousand years ago when they were nearly wiped out by the Soul Temple and were willing to cultivate Ling Bai. He could see that the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower was investing everything in Ling Bai, even considering him for the position of the next leader.

He shook his head, thinking it wasn't his business how the other sect thought, and said, "With your strength, not just the freshmen... I doubt there's anyone in the entire Shrek Academy Outer Court who can match you."

Bei Bei was one of the two top stars in the Outer Court, already among the best fighters in the Shrek Academy Outer Court. However, he felt inferior to Ling Bai in both soul power and soul skill, leading him to this conclusion.

"Ha."

Ling Bai didn't respond, saying instead, "Brother Bei, you've had a long day. I'll take the firstn/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

half of the night, and you can rest."

"Alright, I'll take the second half."

After Bei Bei fell asleep, Ling Bai suddenly said softly:

"The Outer Court... is indeed quite boring..."
