In the firelight, that fair face appeared incredibly ferocious and terrifying in Tang Ya's eyes.

"I...I choose to be with you..."

Tang Ya trembled, and after a long while, she spoke softly.

“Good choice.”

Xu Cheng said with satisfaction.

Tang Ya suddenly felt the world spinning around her, shattering and then reforming. The voice seemed to come from afar and then approach, and a sense of disorientation washed over her.

But after becoming familiar with the surroundings, his pupils suddenly widened.

The grilled meat sizzled intermittently, its crispy skin curling up, glistening with oil, and emitting a rich aroma of grilled meat.

The warm campfire enveloped the surroundings, dispelling the chill.

Turning her head to look, she could no longer see the bottomless abyss in the distance. She was still sitting next to Xu Cheng, maintaining the posture of raising her head after hearing the word "evil soul master".

Everything that just happened seems like it never happened...

Tang Ya felt a chill rise from the soles of her feet and go straight to the top of her head.

She was completely unaware of such unpredictable and mysterious methods from beginning to end!

In other words, there's no way she could have left!

"Here, have some to replenish your energy. You'll need to add your second soul ring later." Xu Cheng smiled and handed over a roasted thigh.

Tang Ya looked up, her eyes reflecting Xu Cheng's kind smile, but the coldness seeped into her bones. This was the method of an evil soul master.

"No, this is just a tactic of mine," Xu Cheng said with a smile.

Tang Ya: "..."

She felt only despair; in front of Xu Cheng, she felt as if she had been stripped naked, with no secrets left to her...

She carefully accepted the roasted meat. All she wanted now was to survive. As for revitalizing the Tang Clan... that seemed like a distant dream.

what……

Tang Ya took a chicken leg and took a small bite.

His eyes widened suddenly.

How...is this so delicious?!

Red turkeys are found all over the Great Luo Continent and are one of the most common and ordinary ingredients. She had naturally eaten them many times, but they were mostly tasteless.

But this red turkey... is simply a delicacy!

The meat melts in your mouth, has a wonderfully crispy texture, and with this seasoning, it's absolutely delicious!

Looking at the little girl who was completely absorbed in it.

Xu Cheng smiled with satisfaction.

Nonsense, why is Huo Gua's grilled fish so delicious?

Because of his superb craftsmanship? While that certainly plays a part, the main reason lies in his mental fortitude!

A spirit-type soul master has extremely strict control over every detail during the grilling process of fish, ensuring that every inch of the meat is cooked to perfection.

Are there no other spirit-type soul masters who grill fish?

Putting aside the fact that chefs are already at the bottom of the food chain in Douluo Continent, as long as you awaken a spiritual martial soul, you will be sought after by the four great empires and Shrek Academy.

Where would you get the chance to be a cook...

In this way, Xu Cheng's major was a perfect match.

Blood Eyes, though malevolent, is a legitimate spiritual spirit. In fact, even within the Body Sect, with the status of this top-tier martial spirit, it would at least qualify one as a Holy Son...

So don't be fooled by Wuyun's constant complaining about how busy he is and what not to do; his actions speak louder than words.

After all, Xu Cheng's cooking is fucking delicious...

"How should we choose her second spirit ring?" Wu Yun wiped the grease from the corner of her mouth and urged Xu Cheng.

Since Xu Cheng is starting school tomorrow anyway, and I won't be able to get a free meal, I might as well just call it a day and get out of here.

Upon hearing this, Tang Ya also stopped and listened attentively.

"Dark Blue Silver Grass..."

Xu Cheng pondered for a moment.

"Since the first soul skill is Entanglement, the second soul skill should be Parasite, such as Oak Vine, or speed and toxicity, such as Mandragora Snake, highly venomous and web-like creatures, or Human-faced Demon Spider. Just bring whichever one you find that is of suitable age."

"it is good."

The dark clouds transformed into flocks of crows, flying out into the forest across the pitch-black night sky.

This was the second reason Xu Cheng had called him over.

With a wide field of vision, it is easy to find spirit beasts.

Martial Soul True Form: Black Crow Clan, which can disperse into dozens of crows, each a clone, but capable of transforming into its true form. This is its means of survival, but it can also be used for detection in ordinary times...

Around the campfire.

Tang Ya was dumbfounded.

She never imagined that this person would know his first soul skill so well.

As for the future path of spirit rings, it had already been planned out long ago...

It was as if, in her presence, this young man of the same generation was not an evil spirit master, but rather one of her elders…

“Ten thousand years ago, your Tang Clan ancestor Tang San was dressed like this, and it’s extremely similar to you, so it’s perfect to use it,” Xu Cheng said nonchalantly.

"How could that be! Ancestor Tang San, he was not some evil soul master!" Tang Ya pouted and glared angrily at Xu Cheng.

"I have fallen, but you cannot insult my faith!"

"I'm sorry, I was overthinking it. It seems that the term 'evil soul master' didn't exist ten thousand years ago," Xu Cheng said earnestly.

Upon hearing this, Tang Ya was taken aback.

He actually apologized?

"But your ancestor Tang San was almost the same as an evil spirit master, wasn't he?"

One sentence nearly broke Tang Ya's composure; she stood up, pointed at Xu Cheng, her eyes filled with anger.

The latter reached out and gently parted the other's fingers.

What is the definition of an "evil spirit master"?

Xu Cheng remained calm, watching Tang Ya's pretty face turn red with anger, and chuckled as he spoke.

"A Devouring-type Martial Soul? It strengthens itself by devouring the lives of others?"

"Tang San's martial soul is similar to yours, capable of absorbing the life force of those it binds. The Eight Spider Lances are the same. As a descendant of the Tang Sect, you should be aware of this, right..."

"But Tang San's ancestor would never be like you evil soul masters! Killing people everywhere!" Tang Ya said angrily.

"Ten thousand years ago, there was a place on this continent called the City of Slaughter. Your ancestor Tang San was the seventh person to emerge from there. Do you know what conditions are required to come out of there?"

Xu Cheng stirred the campfire, his voice remaining calm and composed.

"Win a hundred matches, and in each match, you must kill at least nine people; the only survivor is the winner..."

"Nine hundred people, the number of people he killed could be piled up into a small mountain."

“Those are all people who deserve to die! They are vicious and wicked!” Tang Ya’s voice was filled with indignation.

"Really? What about the Spirit Hall?"

Xu Cheng raised his head, stared into Tang Ya's eyes, and curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.

"After the victory, Tang San purged everyone in the Spirit Hall, from the Pope to deacons in various places. At least hundreds of thousands of people died at Tang San's command."

"..."

"The Spirit Hall... is the villain! Ancestor Tang San was eliminating evil for the people!" Tang Ya hesitated for a moment, her tone noticeably weaker.

"Villains...heh."

Xu Cheng shook his head.

"It's all about the victors and the vanquished; there's no such thing as a villain. Did the Spirit Hall massacre the people?"

"..."

"What heinous things has the Spirit Hall done?"

"..."

"Hehe, look, even you can't explain it. You only know that the Spirit Hall is the villain, but you don't know why it is the villain." Xu Cheng shook his head with a smile.

"Then let me tell you, it's only because the Spirit Hall has a grudge against Tang San that it's the villain..."

Tang Ya lowered her head, the old traditions and Xu Cheng's words forming a stark contrast.

This nearly caused the girl to break down.

Xu Cheng chuckled as he watched the girl break down, then delivered another blow.
