Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue.

Chapter 35 Beibei and Tang Ya

"Xiao Yuhao, remember this. Although humans and spirit beasts are not exactly friends, and can even be considered natural enemies, humans need spirit beasts as spirit rings, and spirit beasts can hunt humans and devour their cultivation, but you must never kill innocent people indiscriminately," Xue Di said in a low voice.

"Yes!" Huo Yuhao nodded vigorously.

He benefited greatly from chatting with these two older women.

The three chatted as they traveled. Because of Huo Yuhao's presence, Qian Renxue and Xue Di's travel speed was much slower than usual. However, they weren't in a hurry to begin with, so walking slowly was fine. Xue Di could also take the opportunity to see what, for her, was the central part of the continent, which could be considered part of the new world.

Before they knew it, four days had passed. They did not always choose to take the official roads, but instead traveled through some mountain forests or small paths far away from big cities. This was somewhat contrary to Huo Yuhao's original plan, but Qian Renxue insisted on staying away from the city because she did not want to show her face on those official roads or in big cities, and she also wanted to recall the scene of Qian Daoliu teaching her wilderness survival when she was a child.

When Huo Yuhao was traveling through the mountains and forests, he obviously couldn't keep up with the speed of Qian Renxue and the other woman. Qian Renxue taught him some skills and necessary abilities for trekking in the wild.

Even on the road, they devised a hunting plan. To Huo Yuhao's astonishment, Qian Renxue and Xue Di killed several nearly hundred-year-old soul beasts without even using their martial souls. He had no doubt that even a hundred-year-old soul beast would be played to death by these sisters.

The little boy wasn't stupid; he was just held back by his weak body. Gradually, he was able to keep up and join in the hunt.

The sound of flowing water could be heard from within the woods.

"There's water nearby?" Xue Di was pleasantly surprised.

Throughout their journey, they alternated between traveling and resting, and the long trek left Huo Yuhao often drenched in sweat. Qian Renxue and Xue Di, on the other hand, were in relatively good shape; given their cultivation levels, this kind of travel was nothing to them.

Huo Yuhao was also excited. The last time he washed his body was two days ago, and he couldn't wait to wash his body and clothes again.

The three followed the sound of water to a small stream, the water crystal clear. Xue Di's eyes darted around. "Little Huo," she said, "Qian Jie and I haven't really taken a bath these past two days, just like two days ago. You stay here for now, and don't peek! How about that?"

Huo Yuhao nodded: "No problem, sister. You guys go downstream to clean up first, I'll go upstream to catch some fish."

"Didn't we catch some prey?" Qian Renxue asked.

"I know! But I actually wanted to make grilled fish for my sister before, it's one of my specialties. But there weren't many fish in the little lake we passed by last time, so I didn't make it." Huo Yuhao nodded.

"Okay, then hurry up and go!" Xue Di was a little excited. They had been eating rabbit meat every day for the past few days, and although it tasted good, they were getting a bit tired of it. Along the way, they did rely on hunting to obtain some other ingredients, but they didn't expect that Huo Yuhao's specialty was grilled fish.

After Huo Yuhao left, Qian Renxue carefully took off her outer clothes, revealing her smooth skin, and entered the stream with Xue Di.

"You, put away your chill, don't let it freeze in this water."

"You're one to talk! You should cool down your fire too, or you'll dry up this stream."

"You! Once I acquire my second soul skill, I'll unleash my Emperor's Palm, a freezing cold spell!"

"? Wait until the second soul skill? Watch my Angelic Assault, Melting Flames!"

-

Huo Yuhao respected his two older sisters, so he wouldn't do anything like spying. He wandered around and came to the upper reaches of the stream, where a small hill separated them from where they were bathing.

"I'm so thirsty." Huo Yuhao lay down and drank some of the clear stream water first.

A strange thought arose in his mind. Luckily, he had come upstream. If he had come downstream, wouldn't it have been the same as drinking their bathwater?

"Huh—" He shook his head, dismissing the strange thought. Then he focused intently and began catching fish.

He felt that both older sisters were actually quite nice to him. In comparison, Sister Qian seemed easier to talk to and more worldly-wise than the other sister. Sister Xue, with her white hair, was more like a... Soul Beast Encyclopedia, academic in nature, and she exuded a coldness that kept people at a distance. She didn't seem very interested in her own story and was just echoing Sister Qian.

Huo Yuhao quickly caught over a dozen small bluefish, but after thinking for a moment, he decided to catch more. His two older sisters seemed quite picky about their food; he later learned that the rabbit meat they had bought wasn't cheap.

Maybe they're some kind of young ladies from wealthy families? Huo Yuhao thought to himself, which explained why they knew so much, and why their clothes and habits matched his. However, he wondered where they came from; they didn't seem to be from the Star Luo Empire.

As Huo Yuhao thought about it, he felt a little sad. Some people were born to be pampered young masters and heiresses. No matter how hard he tried, he could never catch up with them.

However, the fact that Sister Qian was willing to talk to me so much and even encouraged me means that she might have some unspeakable difficulties, just like me. Maybe when I become stronger in the future, I can help her?

At present, the only thing I can do to help them is to let them try my cooking.

Huo Yuhao processed the small bluefish he had caught, packed them into some clean leaves, and, calculating the time, decided it was about time to head back.

"Sisters, are you done washing?" Huo Yuhao asked from behind a big tree.

"Right away! I'm changing clothes." Xue Di glared at Qian Renxue fiercely. This girl had clearly been bullying her just now. Her ultimate ice was still no match for Qian Renxue's true solar fire.

Qian Renxue stretched out her hand, and a delicate warmth emanated from it, instantly drying her freshly washed white-gold outfit.

"Tch." Xue Di curled her lips. She froze her little skirt and socks with ice, then pointed her finger. The ice absorbed the moisture from the clothes, then shattered, turning them into clean new clothes.

"So even extreme ice can be used to dry clothes?" Qian Renxue thought in shock, feeling as if her method of using the True Fire of the Sun had been stolen. "Alright, come out now," Qian Renxue called out to Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao placed the prepared small bluefish on an open ground and then used the dry branches he had prepared beforehand as firewood. Qian Renxue casually snapped her fingers, and the firewood was lit.

"Thank you, Sister Qian." After saying that, Huo Yuhao sprinkled the salt he was carrying on the small bluefish and began to grill it.

Qian Renxue and Xue Di watched Huo Yuhao intently as he finished grilling a fish.

"It doesn't seem that difficult," Qian Renxue said. "Xiao Huo, give me one, I want to try it too."

"Okay." Huo Yuhao handed over a cleaned small bluefish.

Qian Renxue thought about Huo Yuhao's previous actions, and then tried to imitate him by grilling. In the end... unsurprisingly, it turned into a pile of charcoal.

"How could this happen!" Qian Renxue was a little annoyed. "I wanted to learn how to do it myself, and let Xiao Huo take a shower so he could eat right away when he came back."

"It's alright, Sister Qian." Huo Yuhao was also a little embarrassed, thinking to himself that she really was a young lady from a wealthy family.

Xue Di sneered: "Xiao Huo, you'd better not have any hope for her. You have no idea, before I met you, I ate the roasted meat she made. It was more deadly than a soul beast undergoing its tribulation."

"Forget it, I give up." Qian Renxue casually tossed the poor bluefish into the stream, then stretched. "Xiao Huo, why don't you grill a couple to fill your stomach first, then take a shower and come back to work on this? Neither she nor I are that hungry, and you've been working on this without showering, you must be feeling uncomfortable too."

"Okay." Huo Yuhao nodded and did not refuse.

"There's someone nearby," Qian Renxue whispered after Huo Yuhao left.

"What should we do?" Xue Di asked. "Should we...?"

"His cultivation level isn't high; he's probably just someone passing through. Let's pretend we don't know anything," Qian Renxue said. "Once this young Huo enters the Star Dou realm, we'll find a chance to leave."

"I thought you were going to help him hunt souls," Xue Di said, pursing her lips.

"He chose this path himself, so let him walk it himself. If we intervene, what if this kid sees how powerful we are and starts clinging to us? Should we take him to the Sun Moon Empire?" Qian Renxue said calmly.

"He said he has poor talent, which is true. But his slow cultivation speed is another matter. According to him, he was only at level one of innate soul power at the age of six, but he was able to reach a speed of two levels per year within five years, which shows that he is someone who can make up for his lack of talent through hard work. Let him stay in the eastern part of the continent. It would be good for him to find a sect to join. The cultivation environment in the Sun Moon Empire is not suitable for him."

A short while later, Huo Yuhao returned refreshed and continued his work.

"It smells so good!"

Just then, a delighted cry rang out, the voice clear and melodious, but it startled Huo Yuhao.

The three looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Qian Renxue had just discovered two Soul Masters. One was a girl with long, straight black hair in a ponytail, and the other was a gentle young man with short, dark blue hair.

The girl in front of him skipped excitedly to Huo Yuhao, her eyes brimming with desire, and said, "Little brothers and sisters, do you sell your grilled fish? It smells so good! How do you make it?"

Huo Yuhao thought to himself, "Why am I having such good luck with girls these past few days?" However, this girl didn't seem as pretty as Sister Qian. His face flushed slightly again: "I... I have more food here, so why don't I treat you all to some too?"

The boy who was with the girl also came over at this time. He first waved to Huo Yuhao and the other two with a helpless look, and then said to the girl, "Xiaoya, these young men and girls haven't eaten yet, so please don't be polite."

"It's alright, let's eat something together," Qian Renxue said.

She casually probed the two people. Before, because of the distance, she could only sense their cultivation level, but this time—

A murderous intent arose in her heart.

Because these two people, one has the Blue Silver Grass spirit and the other has the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus spirit.

Some unpleasant memories flooded her mind, but she hid them well, and Xue Di didn't notice the murderous intent hidden in her heart.

A plan formed in her mind.

Qian Renxue only had a superficial understanding of the new world. She didn't really know anything about the Sun Moon Empire or soul tools, so in her opinion, it was more suitable for Huo Yuhao to stay in the original Three Kingdoms.

Originally, each chapter was about 2000 words. However, this would inevitably lead to some things not being told or the plot not being fully explained, resulting in some chapters having a relatively longer word count.
