Chapter 104 Grilled Fish
To save his job, Yu Tianyun decided to have Ning Rongrong take some gifts back with her. He then took out three boxes of completely different materials, handed them to Ning Rongrong, and said slowly:
"Rongrong, this is a gift I specially prepared for Uncle Ning, Grandpa Jian, and Grandpa Gu."
Ning Rongrong was slightly stunned at first, then overwhelmed by joy and gratitude, leaving her mind blank. She threw herself into Yu Tianyun's arms. A thousand words were stuck in her throat, and she couldn't utter a single one.
"Rongrong, accept it without worry. Your father will be my father from now on, and your Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone will be my Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone as well. We are family. Don't do this again."
"Um."
Ning Rongrong responded softly, her slightly reddened eyes brimming with tears of emotion and happiness.
As for why Yu Tianyun did this, it wasn't just to save his own life. Now that he and Ning Rongrong had consummated their relationship, helping Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo all improve would only benefit him. It would also make fighting the Spirit Hall much easier. In fact, with Ning Fengzhi's help after breaking through to the Soul Douluo realm, Yu Yuanzhen could definitely fight Qian Daoliu for three hundred rounds.
Subsequently, Yu Tianyun also informed Ning Rongrong of the information about the three immortal herbs and how to take them.
……
The next day!
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing still did not go to class, and Yu Tianyun took them away from Lanba Academy.
As they were about to part, Yu Tianyun said to Ning Rongrong:
"Rongrong, when you get back this time, if you need to buy hidden weapons from Tang San, be sure to report Tang San's situation to Uncle Ning truthfully. Tang San is a blacksmith, and those hidden weapons were all made by his own hands. There are three great blacksmiths on the continent: Lou Gao, Titan, and Tang Hao. Perhaps one of them is related to Tang San. Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated."
Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong seemed to be deep in thought and said:
"Brother Tianyun, I understand now. You're right. Tang San's blacksmithing skills are very likely derived from one of the three great master blacksmiths."
Seeing Ning Rongrong so obedient, Yu Tianyun said no more. This information was enough for Ning Fengzhi to determine Tang San's identity. For a smart person like Ning Fengzhi, he usually preferred to deduce the truth himself. Telling him the answer directly would lose the charm.
Afterwards, Ning Rongrong skipped away and headed to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Yu Tianyun was not worried about Ning Rongrong's safety. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had spies all over the continent, and Ning Rongrong would not lack people to protect her.
A moment later, Yu Tianyun opened his arms and said to Zhu Zhuqing, "Zhuqing, hold your husband tight, let's fly over there."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded slightly, hugged Yu Tianyun's waist tightly, and buried her head in Yu Tianyun's arms. She felt both nervous and happy. This was the first time she had been alone with Yu Tianyun. From now on, Yu Tianyun would belong to her alone.
Immediately afterwards, Yu Tianyun's right leg emitted a blue-gold light, enveloping the two of them as they soared into the air.
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Yu Tianyun curiously, not understanding why he had flown up without growing dragon wings this time.
Seeing the doubt in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, Yu Tianyun chuckled and said, "Zhuqing, keep this a secret for me. This is my soul bone skill."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing nodded very seriously and said, "I will never tell anyone, not even my sister."
Seeing such a well-behaved and sensible kitten, Yu Tianyun felt his heart melt. He gently kissed her forehead and flew towards Sunset Forest.
Although he didn't use dragon wings, Yu Tianyun was still quite fast, and it didn't take him too long to reach Sunset Forest.
Yu Tianyun, brimming with confidence, led Zhu Zhuqing and swaggered into the Sunset Forest.
The third spirit ring that Zhu Zhuqing needs should ideally be a feline spirit beast that excels in speed, such as tigers, lions, or leopards. Even birds of prey and mantises would be acceptable. Ideally, the spirit beast should be around 1700 years old. Therefore, it is only necessary to explore the outer and central parts of the forest.
Even though Sunset Forest is not as good as Star Dou Great Forest, it is still the premier soul beast forest in the Heaven Dou Empire, and its soul beast resources are quite abundant.
Yu Tianyun quietly released his spiritual power, sensing everything around him. He pulled Zhu Zhuqing into his arms with his right hand, as if he were strolling leisurely in a garden, completely disregarding the perilous wild soul beast forest.
Along the way, they encountered many soul beasts, some ten years old, some a hundred years old, and some a thousand years old. Among them were quite a few feline soul beasts whose age and species were relatively suitable for Zhu Zhuqing. However, Yu Tianyun did not choose to hunt them. He naturally wanted to find the most suitable soul beast for his wife.
After several hours of fruitless searching, they prepared to take a break.
Yu Tianyun cleared a space by a stream and then began to circulate his soul power.
In an instant, his right hand was wrapped in terrifying lightning. He plunged it into the water, and with a crackling sound of thunder, a group of blue fish with shockwaves floated on the surface of the water.
Yu Tianyun enthusiastically scooped up a dozen or so bluefish, his hands transforming into sharp dragon claws. Whether scaling or gutting, he did it with ease, and in no time, all the bluefish were properly prepared.
They gathered some large leaves from the woods, washed them in the stream, placed the cleaned fish on them, and gathered some dry branches for firewood. In no time, a small bonfire was lit by the stream.
Yu Tianyun only had salt on him, but that was enough for grilling fish. He made several small racks out of thick branches, then skewered the cleaned bluefish on thin branches, rubbed salt inside the bluefish's bellies, and took out a type of leaf called perilla from his storage soul tool, washed it, tore it into pieces, and stuffed it into the bluefish's bellies as well. Only then did he place the prepared fish on the grill made of thick branches to roast, while simultaneously using his Ice and Fire Dual Eyes to control the heat.
Before long, a unique aroma began to waft from above the fire, incredibly rich and alluring. As the jade cloud slowly turned, the bluefish gradually transformed into an enticing golden yellow, perfectly complementing the rich fragrance.
Yu Tianyun felt that his grilled fish skills were definitely no worse than Huo's!
Look, the kitten over there is staring intently at the bluefish on the fire, looking like it's about to cry from drooling.
"Tianyun, how much longer?" The usually reserved kitten could no longer contain its longing and asked eagerly.
Yu Tianyun smiled indulgently and replied gently, "Little glutton, don't worry, it'll be ready soon."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded obediently and replied, "Mm."
Yu Tianyun only grilled two fish the first time, and prepared the rest of the fish first. After all, grilling too many at once makes it easy to make mistakes in controlling the heat.
Soon, the two fragrant fish were taken off the fire, and Yu Tianyun handed them both to Zhu Zhuqing, carefully instructing her, "They're all for you, you little glutton, be careful they're hot!"
"Mmm, mmm." Zhu Zhuqing eagerly took it and carefully took a small bite to taste it.
The tender, juicy fish melted in her mouth, its unique grilled flavor instantly filling her entire palate. She savored the perfect fusion of the fish's delicate texture and rich aroma; each bite felt like a luxurious feast for her taste buds.
The skin of the grass carp was roasted to a golden brown and crispy, while the inside remained tender and smooth. This striking contrast in texture delighted her.
"It's so delicious! I've never had such good grilled fish before," Zhu Zhuqing exclaimed with satisfaction as she savored the dish.
"If it's delicious, I'll cook it for you every day." Yu Tianyun looked at Zhu Zhuqing with deep affection and made this loving promise.
……
As she ate the bluefish grilled by her lover, her heart was instantly filled with happiness. This was a beautiful scene she had never dared to dream of before. The grilled fish made her feel cherished and loved.
