Douluo Dalu: Golden Spirit Tree

Chapter 70 The boy with spiritual eyes
Beside the gurgling stream, a young man was busy doing something.

The boy looked to be about eleven or twelve years old, with a well-proportioned body and a handsome face. His short black hair was still dripping with water, as if he had just washed. Although he was only wearing a gray cloth shirt, it was washed cleanly.

All in all, this is a young man who makes people feel very comfortable, especially his eyes, which are clear and pure. At this moment, the young man's eyes are full of joy, which makes people feel good about him.

At this time, the young man was busy with his hands. The bonfire that had been lit recently, the simple barbecue grill, and the big bluefish that had been coated with seasoning and was being slowly turned over by the young man showed that the young man had already found his lunch.

The boy's serious eyes, skillful movements, and the tempting aroma of the golden grilled fish all demonstrate his extraordinary skills.

The blue sky, white clouds, woods, streams, young man, bonfire, and grilled fish form an extremely harmonious picture, which looks peaceful and tranquil.

But a voice suddenly came, breaking the silence.

"smell good!"

A cry of surprise was heard, and although the sound was clear and pleasant, it scared the boy.

Following the sound, I saw a group of two men and one woman walking along the stream.

The first one to speak was the woman who had spoken. She was a bit tall, about 1.7 meters, and looked to be about fourteen or fifteen years old. Her eyes were full of surprise, and her every move exuded a youthful aura.

Following behind the girl were the two men, both of whom had slender figures, but one had short dark blue hair and was slightly taller, about 1.80 meters, while the other had black hair and was about 1.75 meters tall. Both were equally handsome, but the boy with a golden line between his eyebrows was slightly taller.

The two seemed to be talking about something, and the boy with dark blue hair looked helpless.

The girl rushed over to the boy who had grilled the fish first, her drooling expression looking a bit naive. "Little brother, are you selling this grilled fish? It smells so good. How did you make it?"

Before the young man could answer, he heard the young man with golden patterns behind the girl say, "See, I said this great-grandson's wife is blessed. She can find delicious food everywhere and comes here just by smelling it."

"That's enough." The dark blue-haired boy said with a frown on his face.

The girl turned around and said dissatisfiedly, "Stinky Lin Yi, if you have the guts, don't eat it later!"

Obviously, the combination of these two men and one woman is Lin Yi and his friends.

Facing Tang Ya's dissatisfaction, Lin Yi just casually said: "If you don't give me food, I won't let you in from now on."

"you……"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Bei Bei quickly persuaded Tang Ya to calm down and said, "Let's ask this little brother about the grilled fish first."

Sure enough, when she heard about food, Tang Ya immediately stopped paying attention to Lin Yi's chatter and turned to look at the young man with eyes full of anticipation.

The boy seemed to have never seen such a scene before. Facing the girl, his face flushed. "No... no need for money. I'll treat you guys."

As he said that, he handed the grilled fish in his hand to Tang Ya.

Tang Ya looked at the shy boy and couldn't help but chuckle, "Little brother, you are still shy, then I won't be polite."

After saying that, he reached out to take the grilled fish, sat down casually without caring about his image, and started eating.

Just by looking at her cautious movements, you can tell that it is definitely very hot, but she is reluctant to give up the delicious food, which really lives up to her reputation as a foodie.

Lin Yi and Bei Bei also came over, greeting the boy while feeling helpless about the girl's rudeness.

The young man stuffed the grilled fish in his hand to the two people who declined, took two more from the side and started grilling them.

Lin Yi had already eaten on the way and was not very hungry for the time being, so he gave the grilled fish to Bei Bei, showing his virtue as an elder and chatting with the boy.

"My name is Lin Yi, this is Bei Bei, Tang Ya, what's your name, little brother?"

Lin Yi's aura seemed to make the young man feel somewhat close, and he unconsciously let down his guard and said without hiding anything: "My name is Huo Yuhao."

After a while, Huo Yuhao grilled two more fish and handed one to Lin Yi. He wanted to give him another one, but Lin Yi stopped him and signaled him to eat it himself.

Tang Ya, who had already finished eating, wanted to eat more, but was looked at by Bei Bei and felt embarrassed to snatch the food away.

Huo Yuhao continued to grill while eating, and the dozen or so grilled fish prepared in advance were quickly eaten up.

By the way, Tang Ya eats the most.

Even Lin Yi and Bei Bei, who had eaten a lot of delicious food since childhood, had to admit that Huo Yuhao's grilled fish tasted quite good. Although the seasonings were only perilla and salt, the taste was unexpectedly delicious.

If it were in another world, Lin Yi would have doubted whether something was added in it, but here, Lin Yi only attributed it to the young man's superb craftsmanship, which fully stimulated the original flavor of the ingredients.

After the meal, Tang Ya stretched lazily with satisfaction, not caring at all about her exposed curves.

"I'm so satisfied! This is the first time I've eaten such delicious grilled fish. Brother Yuhao, do you have any plans? How about I hire you as a chef?"

Lin Yi interjected, "Reconsideration."

Beibei swallowed back the question he originally wanted to ask Tang Ya whether she was rich. As Lin Yi's good brother, he naturally knew how rich Lin Yi was.

Huo Yuhao, who had rested well, stood up and said, "Sister Tang, brothers, I'm leaving first."

Beibei asked curiously, "Where are you going in this remote place, near the Star Dou Great Forest?"

Without waiting for Huo Yuhao to reply, Lin Yi raised his hand and shot out a stream of soul power filled with light attributes, drying the clothes Huo Yuhao had hung out to dry. He waved his hand and said, "Everything went well."

Huo Yuhao looked at Lin Yi with surprise and a bit of envy, thanked him, took his clothes and said goodbye to the three people with a smile.

"He's going to the Star Dou Great Forest?"

Looking at the direction Huo Yuhao left, Tang Ya was surprised.

Lin Yi exerted force with his palms and propped himself up. "We are going to hunt for spirit rings. Let's go and follow us."

Bei Bei and Tang Ya, who had stood up, were already surprised to hear about hunting spirit rings. When they heard Lin Yi say to follow, they were even more stunned. "What do you mean by following?" Lin Yi rolled his eyes. "Did you pay for the grilled fish you ate?"

Beibei and Tang Ya scratched their heads, both looking a little embarrassed.

"Lin Yi, are you sure you're going to hunt for spirit rings?"

"I just roughly felt the fluctuations of his soul power. It should be that at this age and with this soul power, he can only be here to hunt soul rings. He can't be a soul beast hunter, right? It's enough to give it away."

"That's true."

Tang Ya looked at Bei Bei and asked tentatively, "If he has soul power, why not absorb him into the Tang Sect?"

"You must be attracted by his cooking skills." Beibei said helplessly.

When her thoughts were exposed, Tang Ya stuck out her tongue.

"I can't really say. This Huo kid must have had some special experiences. His eyes are much more mature and resolute than those of his peers. I just don't know what his talent is..."

Tang Ya was a little surprised and asked, "You agree?"

Beibei smiled bitterly and said, "If it weren't for me, you'd be the only commander left in the Tang Sect. If we want to strengthen the Tang Sect, we should definitely recruit someone suitable. Moreover, judging by his clothes, he should come from an average family, which makes him suitable for our current Tang Sect."

"I told you that although you appear gentle and polite, you are actually full of evil intentions."

"That's right." Lin Yi quickly agreed.

Beibei was full of black lines on her face. She defended herself, "That's called wisdom. Okay, we'll be far away soon. Hurry and catch up."

After saying that, the three of them freshened up and hurriedly followed.

On the way, Lin Yi put away his casual expression and said seriously, "There's something I should tell you."

Tang Ya said: "If there is anything urgent, go find Brother Yuhao first."

Beibei said thoughtfully, "Is it related to Brother Huo?"

Lin Yi nodded.

Hearing this, Tang Ya stopped making a fuss and looked at Lin Yi.

"Did you notice the short blade he used to kill the fish?"

The two shook their heads in confusion.

"That's a soul guide. Since I haven't activated my soul power, it's hard to tell its specific level. But just by looking at its aura, it's at least level four, and the quality is not low."

Beibei gasped, "A fourth-level soul guide is not cheap. It's definitely not something an ordinary family can afford."

Lin Yi nodded silently.

Tang Ya looked a little disappointed. "So, we can't accept Brother Yuhao into the Tang Sect?"

Beibei comforted him, "That's not the case. It's just that Brother Huo's identity might be more complicated than we thought. We need to be more cautious when absorbing him."

Lin Yi remained silent. What he didn't say was that he felt a similar darkness from Huo Yuhao as from Tang Ya, a feeling of carrying hatred.

Adding to that the high-quality soul guide that is totally incompatible with Huo Yuhao, this Huo Yuhao, could he be related to some big family?

This feeling was all too familiar to Lin Yike: a servant of a large family or some illegitimate child, beaten, scolded, and humiliated, only to find an opportunity to escape from the mansion, devoting himself to cultivation, bent on revenge...

Lin Yi had seen this scene countless times in his memories of the other world.

But then, Lin Yi thought to himself, "People like this usually have quite a bit of talent, especially with all the opportunities that come their way. They're simply the sons of destiny."

Lin Yi was shocked. "Son of destiny? It can't be such a coincidence, right?"

"No, no, no, how can it be possible that just anyone I meet when I go out is the child of luck?"

"Besides, the lucky child I'm going to meet must be a fragrant and soft stunning beauty. How could he be a... cook?!"

But the more Lin Yi thought about it, the more panicked he became. An inner feeling told Lin Yi that the young man named Huo Yuhao was the son of destiny he had been looking for.

Lin Yi couldn't sit still any longer and hurriedly urged Bei Bei and Tang Ya to speed up.

Although Beibei and Tang Ya didn't understand why, they didn't refuse. They sighed in their hearts that Lin Yi (Ayi) was just harsh in words, but he was kind deep down in his heart.

The three of them used their soul power and their speed increased greatly.

Soon, Guangming told Lin Yi that there was a fluctuation of soul power ahead.

Lin Yi guessed that it was probably the fluctuation of soul power caused by the battle between Huo Yuhao and the soul beast. With Huo Yuhao's soul power, even if it was a ten-year soul beast, it would be difficult for him to defeat it.

Lin Yi was anxious and used the body movement and combat skills he had just learned. His speed suddenly increased dramatically. "You guys follow me, I'll go ahead."

Then, Lin Yi shot out like an arrow.

With his golden perception, Guangming quickly discovered Huo Yuhao's whereabouts and informed Lin Yi.

Just when Lin Yi was about to see Huo Yuhao's figure, Guangming told Lin Yi that a big fat bug appeared in front of Huo Yuhao.

Before Lin Yi could react to what the fat bug meant, a terrifying mental wave quickly swept over...
