Standing in front of the grill, Huo Yuhhao glanced at Lanmei a few times. Seeing her reaction was positive, he smiled and devoted himself to the process of grilling the skewers.
In fact, the skewers already had a base flavor, and the meat quality was excellent. Adding too many seasonings would ruin the taste. Therefore, Huo Yuhhao only brushed on some oil and sprinkled a layer of sesame seeds.
Barbecuing, in reality, the most important aspects are three: the meat quality, the seasonings, and the heat control. If these are managed well, even ordinary people can make delicious barbecue. There's really no secret to it.
"Barbecue is here!" Huo Yuhhao grabbed the skewers with both hands and placed them in front of Lanmei, who was wolfing down her food.
Lanmei's nose caught the aroma, immediately attracting her attention. She used both hands to pick up the skewers and started eating.
The crispy outside and tender inside texture, every time her teeth collided with the meat, brought a wonderful experience, giving her mouth satisfaction.
"Sister Lanmei, is it okay?" Huo Yuhhao asked, lowering his head.
"Mmm." Lanmei's mouth was full of meat, and her words were unclear.
Huo Yuhhao: "…"
Was a meat skewer really that appealing?
Could it be because of his, Huo Yuhhao's, protagonist aura?
Ahem, I'm getting ahead of myself.
"Delicious." Lanmei immediately praised after swallowing the meat, not even bothering about the grease on the corner of her mouth.
"That's good." Huo Yuhhao breathed a sigh of relief.
"Come on, come on, you eat too. We'll keep grilling after we finish. We won't eat lunch, just these." Lanmei beckoned Huo Yuhhao to join her.
"Isn't that a bit much?" Huo Yuhhao hesitated. "If we eat a lot, we won't make much money."
"I have three buildings for rent, and they're right next to Shrek Academy." Lanmei picked up another skewer.
Huo Yuhhao's lips twitched.
Damn it.
It was still a school district property, of all things.
"Eat, eat, eat! After we finish, I'll keep grilling," Huo Yuhhao didn't bother saving money for Lanmei. He started eating too, figuring she was rich, so why worry?
After that, the two of them ate and grilled, grilled and ate.
They finally stopped when they were completely stuffed.
"Burp." Lanmei burped. She then released her second Soul Skill in a row. With the Soul Power fluctuations that spread out, two golden Sunlight Blueberries appeared.
"Here, take these. Go cultivate. I'll clean up here," Lanmei handed the Sunlight Blueberries to Huo Yuhhao.
"I'll go cultivate then. I'll leave this to you, Lanmei-jie." Huo Yuhhao glanced at the messy kitchen, then carefully took the Sunlight Blueberries back to his room.
The sunlight outside was also very comfortable at the moment. Because of the season, it wasn't hot, but rather warm and cozy.
Bright light passed through the patchy glass, leaving a layer of shadows on the table.
I wonder what the difference is between eating Sunlight Blueberries during the day and at night. After closing the door, Huo Yuhhao sat where the sunlight could reach him, examining the two fruits in his hand.
But to be safe, he didn't eat both at once, instead choosing to eat only one.
As the Sunlight Blueberry turned into a warm current entering his body, Huo Yuhhao prepared for the internal pain to come.
He immediately activated his Heavenly Eye and waited quietly.
Sure enough, the same changes as last night occurred. That dazzling sunlight clung to his body. From the outside, one could see a large number of light threads floating around Huo Yuhhao, as if within reach. These light threads were then attracted by the Heavenly Eye and merged into his body.
Not long after, Huo Yuhhao's body turned slightly red, a sign of his qi and blood surging.
However…
"Ugh!"
A low groan suddenly escaped Huo Yuhhao's lips. His muscles seemed to spasm, constantly twitching. His bones cracked, blood flowed rapidly throughout his body, and his heart rate skyrocketed. This made Huo Yuhhao look like a small lobster that had been cooked.
Under the sunlight, wisps of heat could be seen drifting off him.
The next moment, his pupils snapped open, his face filled with shock.
"The sunlight didn't help me expand my meridians; it strengthened my body?"
But before Huo Yuhhao could think further, a pain far exceeding the meridian's agony arrived.
His muscles twisted, tore, and then reformed. All this happened in a split second, meaning Huo Yuhhao was about to endure several kinds of pain within that single second.
If Huo Yuhhao could look within himself, he would surely find a shocking situation. The sunlight entering his body was the true cause of all this.
But at the same time, every time his muscles were honed, the sunlight would also repair them, repeating the process.
However, Huo Yuhhao, sitting on the ground, had a contorted face. He made bestial "hissing" sounds, and his breathing was exceptionally heavy. He collapsed on the floor, enduring the excruciating pain. Sweat had already soaked his clothes and, by extension, the floor.
Time ticked by, minute by minute. An hour passed, and Huo Yuhhao endured the entire time in agony.
When the pain finally subsided, he was numb. His eyes were lifeless as he lay there in the sunlight on the floor. His whole body was burning, and he was flushed red.
His muscles even twitched occasionally.
After everything calmed down, Huo Yuhhao leaned against the edge of the bed to rest and began to think.
After consuming the Sunlight Blueberry last night, his meridians had been strengthened by Moonlight, increasing their power by a tenth.
After taking the Sunlight Blueberry at noon today, his body was impacted by sunlight, but the enhancement wasn't as obvious.
Two different time periods, and two different situations.
Why would there be such a difference? Huo Yuhhao couldn't figure it out.
But… sunlight strengthens the body, and Moonlight strengthens the meridians. It doesn't seem too bad. At least I'm getting stronger in two ways. After a moment of silence, Huo Yuhhao reached out and examined the other Sunlight Blueberry he hadn't taken yet.
Sunlight Blueberries only have a three-hour shelf life. It definitely wouldn't last until night. It seemed he needed to find a way to get one each during the day and night.
Hopefully, when I obtain my first soul ring, all the answers about the Heavenly Eye will appear.
Since the Blueberry said he could only eat two Sunlight Blueberries a day, Huo Yuhhao decided to give up on the remaining one. Finally, he devoted himself entirely to meditation and cultivation.
When the sun set and the sky was already dusk, Huo Yuhhao finally emerged from his cultivation state. Feeling his body filled with energy, his lips curved into a smile.
"Time to get to work."
Huo Yuhhao looked up at the evening sky, already tinged with the colors of dusk. He quickly got up, intending to go downstairs and prepare for the evening's barbecue reservations.
Just as he opened the door, he saw Lanmei, who was about to knock.
Lanmei was a little surprised, and smiled. "I was just about to knock and call for you, but you opened the door yourself. The guests have arrived, get ready."
"Okay." Huo Yuhhao nodded.
When the two went downstairs, Huo Yuhhao found that the evening's ingredients were neatly arranged.
"Here, this is the first order's request." Lanmei handed over a card.
Huo Yuhhao took it and began to read.
Lanmei said with a smile, "The first customer is just like Xiaotao, also a student from Shrek Academy. They specifically requested extra grilled fish. I've already prepared the fish, just waiting for you to grill it."
Hearing this, Huo Yuhhao's eyes flickered as he looked at the card. "Sister Lanmei, is the first customer named Yao Haoxuan?"
"You know him?" Lanmei was surprised.
Huo Yuhhao smiled. "Yes, I do. Wait a moment, can I go out and chat with him for a bit?"
Lanmei nodded subconsciously. "Sure, go ahead. It's still early anyway."
As soon as Lanmei agreed, Huo Yuhhao put away the card and walked straight out of the grilling room.
It seems I was right. The Ning Tianzhen from the anime has become a male, the kind that starts as a male.
My mood is quite complicated right now.
It's also possible she's a woman disguised as a man.
