Douluo Continent: Ultimate Sea God Dragon, Inheriting Two Godhoods

After a few days,

Snowflakes drifted down in Tiandou City, covering the city in a blanket of white.

Although temperatures in the north are gradually dropping, they have not been affected in the slightest, and people have long been used to it.

Of course, there were also complaints...

"It's so cold."

Wrapped in a fox fur coat, Yu Feng braved the wind and snow to enter the general store. After glancing around, he immediately called out to Ouyang Ling, "Ling, what are we doing here?"

"what?"

Ouyang Ling turned around, giving a "does this even need asking?" look. "What else would we be here for if not to buy things? Or to eat?" He casually retorted to Yu Feng before turning to greet the boss.

"Well--"

Realizing he had asked a silly question, Yu Feng was speechless. To avoid further embarrassment, he disregarded his earlier sarcastic remarks and stepped forward to ask further.

"I'm asking what you want to buy? We already bought the other ingredients at the store beforehand."

At this moment, Ouyang Ling, guided by the shopkeeper, selected a large iron rack, paid for it, and stored it in his soul tool—all in one smooth motion. Then he turned around and said, "Look, now you see? That's what I came here to buy."

"...I saw it."

Somewhat reluctant to continue revealing his intelligence, Yu Feng began to pretend to be seriously observing his surroundings. However, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of charcoal not far away and began to take matters into his own hands.

This should be needed too.

So without saying a word, he picked up a box.

"Boss, pay up."

Ouyang Ling: "..."

Did this guy even listen at all? Wasn't it agreed that the Shi brothers would buy the charcoal?

Sigh—I'm so tired...

How did I end up being assigned to this guy?

……

Shopping in Tiandou City was just a minor incident. After gathering all the necessary items, Ouyang Ling and Yu Feng went to a hill outside Tiandou City to meet at the pre-arranged location.

Before long, Ouyang Ling and his companion saw six figures busy in the open space on the mountain.

Clearly, they were the last to arrive.

"Zero and the Wind Rider are here."

"What ingredients did you buy?"

As they spoke, the soul tool flashed.

Seeing the bags and packages of ingredients, Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan immediately began to organize them.

Immediately afterwards, a large iron grill appeared on the open space, immediately catching the eye.

After the Stone Graphite and Stone Mill brothers helped set up the tables and chairs, their eyes lit up when they saw the large grill in front of them. "So, are we having barbecue today? The eldest brother even brought some wine."

Ouyang Ling raised an eyebrow slightly:

Oh? You want to come along?

He hadn't mentioned having a barbecue when they parted ways, intending to surprise everyone, so he even bought the beer separately with Yu Feng later.

Unexpectedly, Yu Tianheng actually bought wine.

Ouyang Ling turned his head to look. Sure enough, he was pointing at a few scattered jars of baijiu on the ground.

"I actually only bought drinks and juice, but I brought a few jars of good wine that my dad had hidden at home. Since I brought them, it would be a shame not to drink them. But..."

Yu Tianheng grinned mischievously. "Little Zero, you can't drink yet, can you?"

Ouyang Ling gave him a half-moon shaped gaze: "..."

Feeding

They even deliberately emphasized "small," isn't that childish?

With a quick thought, he pulled out six cases of beer from his magic pouch, laid them out one by one, and declared with great flair, "I brought beer too. If you ask me, barbecue with ice-cold beer is the only way to really enjoy it. Who goes with baijiu (Chinese liquor)?"

"Beer is nothing, only baijiu (Chinese liquor) is strong enough..."

"Ha—at least this saves you from drinking yourself to death..."

Ouyang Ling and Yu Tianheng chatted back and forth, their tone anything but polite. Yet, as they tidied up, they spoke as casually as if they were having a conversation, making it seem as if they weren't angry or arguing back.

"Boys are so childish."

Although she said that, Dugu Yan seemed quite pleased with it. "Lingling, don't you think so?"

"Um."

Ye Lingling nodded, glancing at Ouyang Ling and the others as she laid out the seasonings one by one.

Meanwhile, Yu Feng and Oslo were putting charcoal into the iron rack, but they froze just as they were about to light it. Yu Feng looked up at Oslo and asked:

"Leopard, where's the fire?"

"I don't know?" Oslo shook his head, but cold sweat poured down his forehead.

Yu Feng was sweating.

"Hey—did you forget to bring fire?"

If I really didn't bring any, then what's the point of grilling it?

"What are you two standing there for?"

While the two of them were looking at each other in bewilderment because they had no fire, Ouyang Ling and Yu Tianheng had already calmed down.

Seeing that Yu Feng and the other two hadn't moved for a while, they were drawn over and saw that they were still motionless.

Ouyang Ling glanced at the charcoal inside the iron frame, which was partially covered by snowflakes, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Don't you know how to start a fire?"

Yu Feng and Oslo exchanged a glance.

No way!

Then all he could say was, "I didn't bring any fire." ×2

"Are you even Soul Masters anymore?" Yu Tianheng, who was listening nearby, almost laughed out of anger. He tapped his right index finger and thumb together and released them with a "rip—"

A flash of electricity appeared, and it moved closer to the charcoal.

"call--"

The charcoal ignited instantly, and flames immediately followed.

Unlike Yu Tianheng, Ouyang Ling also picked up two pieces of charcoal, released his soul power, and gently rubbed them together, causing the charcoal to ignite.

"See? There are many ways."

After the demonstration, Ouyang Ling casually gathered four clumps of water into existence. After they had washed themselves, Ouyang Ling sent Yu Feng and Oslo to the others to keep them from causing trouble.

But these two clowns were not popular at all. They were kicked out by everyone in no time. They could only sit idly to the side, pointing and gesturing.

Just when everyone was about to lose their temper, Ouyang Ling simply sent the two of them away. "If you two don't want to get beaten up, then stop babbling on. You're so fast, why don't you go raid the rabbit burrows and see if you can find some game? We finally get together for a meal, so we should at least have something different."

have to say,

Even though most of them were of noble birth, they were all quite capable. Apart from Ouyang Ling, the other five people still in the open space all had some life skills. Anyway, without Yu Feng and Oslo causing trouble, they not only lit the charcoal fire, but also skewered the meat and set the vegetables aside.

"They haven't returned yet?" Ouyang Ling looked up at the distant snow scene, trying to find Yu Feng and Oslo, but unfortunately, the search failed.

"Ignore them." Dugu Yan picked out a few ingredients that she, Yu Tianheng, and Ye Lingling liked and placed them on the iron rack. She pushed Ouyang Ling forward and said, "Didn't you say you were going to cook for us? Hurry up and cook."

"Let's get started then." Ouyang Ling took the ingredients handed to him by the Shi brothers, added what he wanted, and displayed them on the iron rack.

Ye Lingling helped hand over the small bottle, watching the flames rise and burn, and couldn't help but ask:

"Isn't this fire a bit too big...?"

"It's a pity we're missing a fire-attribute soul master." Yu Tianheng shrugged, seemingly feeling a little regretful. "That way, we can control the heat when grilling."

"You think fire-attribute soul masters are just for starting fires?" Ouyang Ling joked, then continued without blinking, "But it's alright, they'll come sooner or later."

The others chuckled, but paid no attention to Ouyang Ling's last sentence, assuming it was just a casual remark.

Just as the first batch of ingredients was nearing completion, a sound suddenly came from deep within the forest. Everyone except Ouyang Ling immediately turned to look.

Because this is not a habitat for spirit beasts, there are no spirit beasts here, at most wild animals.

Upon hearing the noise, Ouyang Ling's ears twitched slightly, and he immediately recognized what it was.

"It looks like a wild boar."

Before the incident in the village, he had seen the hunters catch live wild boars, so he could naturally tell what was going on.

"Wild boar?"

"Not just wild boars."

Dugu Yan's senses were quite sharp. "Yu Feng and Oslo are behind us, and..."

Before she could finish speaking, two small dark figures leaped out of the bushes amidst the rustling sounds, and a wild boar charged fiercely from behind.

Seemingly in a hurry to escape, they didn't even look.

One stomp and he's dead!

He rushed over and killed him!

No blood was shed, but the two little black boys died a horrible death.

Seeing the charging wild boar, with Yu Feng and Oslo still nowhere to be seen, Dugu Yan's gaze was gloomy. "Where are they? Are they just going to let the wild boar charge like this?"

"Here it comes!" The next second, a dark shadow flashed by, and the charging wild boar immediately fell to the ground and died.

At the same time, a figure swooped down from the sky and picked up two flattened creatures from the ground. "Look, there are two dead rabbits here."

Yu Feng was seen carrying two rabbits in one hand and a pheasant in the other, with Osro following behind, dragging a wild boar.

"It's winter now, there aren't many to find."

"Alright, that's good enough." Ouyang Ling turned around, handed the barbecue he had chosen to the two of them, and gestured for them to throw the game on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, he grabbed the pheasant and manipulated ice and water elements to skin, clean, and wash it like a skilled butcher dissecting an ox. In less than half a minute, he had perfectly presented the pheasant.

By this time, the first round of barbecue had been almost completely devoured.

Yu Tianheng: "Ling, aren't you going to eat first?"

"I won't."

Ouyang Ling examined the pheasant, various cooking methods flashing through his mind. "Let me think about what to make it into."

"How can those who do the work not get to eat?" Dugu Yan used two clean skewers to peel off a skewer of barbecue, then picked it up and held it to Ouyang Ling's mouth. "I'll feed you."

Ouyang Ling didn't stand on ceremony and took a bite.

He mumbled, "Thanks."

Yu Tianheng, looking resentful: "..."

I suddenly felt a little jealous.

Dugu Yan chuckled at his behavior.

"Alright, I'll feed you too. Ah—"

then,

The young couple started taking turns eating.

Ouyang Ling decided to ignore it and didn't care about Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng's public displays of affection.

After marinating the whole chicken, he called out to Oslo and Yufeng, who had only eaten a few bites before running out of food, "Leopard, Yufeng, help dig some soil."

Oslo, Yufeng: "..."

Did they mishear?

Others: "..."

Can you eat soil?

Seeing Ouyang Ling's insistence, Oslo and Yufeng had no choice but to start digging themselves. They were surprisingly quick.

Meanwhile, Ouyang Ling prepared the food, explaining what "beggar's chicken" was. Then, he lit a fire in the dug pit and threw the pheasant, wrapped in mud, into the fire to roast it.

Anyway, everyone enjoyed the meal immensely. Some ate meat, some drank alcohol, and they all seemed to be having a great time.

The meal not only brought smiles to everyone's faces but also left them slightly tipsy. As they prepared to lie down for a short rest…

Slightly tipsy, Dugu Yan suddenly spoke.

"Little Zero".

"What's wrong?"

Ouyang Ling closed her eyes slightly, without opening them.

"I have something I want to ask you."

"Go ahead and ask."

"Why do you call me Dugu?" Dugu Yan had already propped herself up on her arms and leaned against Yu Tianheng.

Ouyang Ling, who opened his eyes: "..."

What does that mean?

Dugu Yan noticed his gaze and said, "It's just that you only address me by my surname, which makes it seem too formal."

"Otherwise?"

Ouyang Ling sat up, her expression strange. "You want me to call you sister-in-law or boss? I can't bring myself to do it."

Dugu Yan: "..."

There's no need to call it that.

"Actually, you can just call me Yanzi."

"That won't do." Ouyang Ling immediately rejected the idea. "I feel that way of addressing someone is a bit ambiguous. It's the kind of thing that I just can't bring myself to say."

Yu Tianheng, who was eavesdropping: "..."

The others, quietly gossiping: "..."

ambiguous?

You know what, now that you mention it, there really is one.

"ha!?"

Dugu Yan couldn't believe it. "Just because of this?"

"Otherwise what? What did you think?" Ouyang Ling waved his hand dismissively. "Anyway, it's not like we're strangers, and I'm already used to being called 'Dugu'."

"You're really being willful."

Dugu Yan silently complained.

Suddenly, I thought to myself, lying here resting like this is quite boring. Why don't I take advantage of this alcohol and just do what I promised last time?

Yes! That's right! That's what we'll do!

With this in mind, she took the initiative to stand up and challenge him to a fight.

"Zero! We agreed on a fight!"

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Ling's spirits immediately lifted. This instantly dispelled any remaining effects of the alcohol.

It's just in time to say what needs to be said!

He was just wondering when the right time would be to speak up, when unexpectedly, the opportunity came knocking on his door.

So he ripped off the cloak, "Come on!"
