Huo Yuhao pulled his hand back from covering Tang Ya's, and then, under Tang Ya's gaze, he brought it to his nose and gave it a gentle sniff.
He then grinned.
"Little Ya, it smells really good!"
Such a shocking scene left Tang Ya utterly mortified, and the look in her eyes towards Huo Yuhao changed.
If one had to describe it...
It was like her eyes were filled with flirtation.
Beibei couldn't know what was happening here because Huo Yuhao didn't initiate Spiritual Sharing for him as he did in the original story. Therefore, Beibei's attention was entirely focused on the Soul Beast in front of him.
He had no idea of the undercurrents swirling behind him.
However, Huo Yuhao stopped just short, not wanting to push things too far. Beibei on the other side had already killed the Mandala Snake.
If Beibei found out, it wouldn't be fun anymore.
Without Spiritual Sharing assistance, Beibei was panting heavily, his soul power severely depleted.
If he wasn't a Soul Elder, and didn't possess the overbearing Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, he might have actually died here.
Because of his excessive consumption, he immediately sat down cross-legged to recover his soul power. Without soul power, encountering Soul Beasts in the outer reaches of the Star Dou Great Forest would be extremely dangerous.
As for Tang Ya, she had already begun to absorb the Thousand-Year Soul Ring.
Huo Yuhao stood guard nearby, protecting Tang Ya.
"Ugh..." Letting out a long breath, Tang Ya slowly opened her eyes. Her bright eyes shone with a brilliant light, and her overall spirit was greatly enhanced.
"Success!" Tang Ya leaped up excitedly from the ground. With the activation of her soul power, three soul rings, two yellow and one purple, rapidly ascended from beneath her feet. The most eye-catching was naturally the Thousand-Year Soul Ring. Its bright purple exuded a noble aura. From this moment on, Tang Ya's strength had completely entered another level.
"Congratulations, Little Ya-jie!"
Huo Yuhao spoke first, extending his hand like a gentleman, wanting to help Tang Ya up from the ground.
Looking at Huo Yuhao, and then at Beibei, who was still meditating to recover his soul power, Tang Ya immediately understood.
Earlier, when she was absorbing the soul ring, it was naturally Huo Yuhao who was protecting her.
For some reason, she felt like Beibei didn't care about her at all. As if guided by a spirit, she actually placed her hand in Huo Yuhao's palm.
Holding Tang Ya's soft, boneless hand, Huo Yuhao naturally took the opportunity to touch it a few more times.
Feeling the warmth transmitted from her palm, Tang Ya turned her head, appearing somewhat shy.
Just when Tang Ya thought Huo Yuhao would push his luck, he actually let go of her hand.
Watching Huo Yuhao retract his hand, Tang Ya felt a strange emptiness inside, she didn't know why.
"Ding! Tang Ya's Favorability increased to 65%!"
Suddenly, a system prompt sounded in Huo Yuhao's mind, which made him pause.
But soon, Huo Yuhao started to laugh.
"Heaven helps me."
As time passed, Beibei, who was recovering his soul power through meditation, also opened his eyes.
Looking at Huo Yuhao, who was constantly making Tang Ya laugh, he felt that this guy was so annoying at this moment!
But Beibei also knew that it had taken him too long to recover. He secretly decided that he must not let Huo Yuhao find a chance to be alone with Tang Ya in the future!
Beibei coughed, attracting their attention.
"Alright, since you've finished absorbing your Soul Ring, let's leave here quickly. In recent years, more and more Soul Masters have had accidents after entering the Star Dou Great Forest. There are even Thousand-Year Soul Beasts in the outer regions, so it's better to leave sooner."
Hearing Beibei's words, the smile on Tang Ya's face immediately disappeared, and she just nodded lightly: "Let's go."
The sky had darkened by this time, but camping in the Star Dou Great Forest was obviously not a good idea. The three of them didn't bother about their fatigue and quickly headed towards the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Huo Yuhao, who had recovered his energy, activated Spiritual Sharing, which gave them an extra layer of protection as they left the Star Dou Great Forest. They even avoided a Thousand-Year Soul Beast that wasn't very likely to attack.
After all, at this moment, he really needed to ensure his own safety, otherwise, it would be easy to get into trouble.
An hour later, after a rapid journey, they finally returned to the stream where they had eaten grilled fish. They were already dozens of miles away from the Star Dou Great Forest, and the danger was basically gone. Tang Ya demanded that Huo Yuhao make grilled fish for her, but Huo Yuhao was silent.
Come on, I'm not the original owner anymore. How would I know how to grill fish! Damn it!
And at this moment, Beibei seized the opportunity and took the chance.
"Tang Ya, since Yuhao doesn't want to, I'll do it!"
Hearing Beibei's voice from behind, Tang Ya pouted, a little unhappy. But since Huo Yuhao didn't want to, she couldn't force him.
Pushing too hard could easily make someone give up and become resentful.
However, just as Huo Yuhao was at a loss, a heavenly sound echoed in his mind.
"Ding ding ding!"
"If you want to capture a woman's heart, you must capture her stomach!"
"God-Level Chef Gift Pack, sent!"
As a white light descended, countless god-level culinary skills appeared in Huo Yuhao's mind.
"Making grilled fish is no problem at all!"
But thinking about this, Huo Yuhao had another idea.
"Sister Ya, I'm a bit tired of grilled fish. I'll make you something else."
Huo Yuhao activated Spiritual Sharing, then dashed into the woods. Only half an hour later, he returned carrying three chickens.
With the God-Level Chef Gift Pack, the roasted chicken was quickly prepared.
The aroma that wafted out made Tang Ya's mouth water.
Huo Yuhao gave a charming smile.
"Sister Ya, how is it? Do you like it?"
"This chicken is big and fragrant, and the taste is absolutely amazing!"
Saying this, Huo Yuhao handed over the roasted chicken.
Of course, he didn't forget to prepare one for Beibei.
After a light slurp, Tang Ya was conquered by the taste of the roasted chicken.
Her eyes brightened, and she exclaimed.
"So! So delicious!"
"Yuhao, your chicken is even more delicious than the fish you make!"
After that, Tang Ya didn't speak again, burying her head and eating the chicken.
Beibei, who was beside them, didn't believe it, and also took a bite, his expression shocked!
This was the first time he had ever eaten such a delicious roasted chicken!
Soon, the three roasted chickens were devoured by everyone. Tang Ya leaned against a tree, seemingly still savoring the delicious food.
Watching Tang Ya like this, Huo Yuhao chuckled, teasing, "Little Ya, do you want to eat my chicken again next time?"
"Yes! I wish I could eat it every day!"
Beibei, who was beside them, had a gloomy expression on his face after hearing their words.
Although he knew they were talking about roasted chicken, he always felt that something was wrong...
"Damn it, what exactly is wrong!"
Beibei couldn't sense anything and could only lean against a tree, sulking.
