Tender Bone Charm Rabbit Meat Is Tender and Delicious

Tender Bone Charm Rabbit Meat Is Tender and Delicious

The masked female soul master charged twenty gold coins per job, which was truly rather expensive.

Although Lu Renjia was willing to offer her an even higher price to recruit her into the Heaven Dou City Imperial Guards, she rejected him without hesitation.

Seeing Lu Renjia suffer a setback, Su Yuntian inexplicably felt like laughing.

Lu Renjia still wanted to try recruiting her, so he took twenty Gold Soul Coins from his pocket and placed them on the wooden sign the female soul master used to display her rates.

"Won't you really consider it? The Heaven Dou City Imperial Guards offer excellent benefits, and there are plenty of outstanding young men there. They come from good families, they're handsome, and most importantly, they're rich. If you come with me, I guarantee I'll find you a good match!"

At the sight of those gleaming Gold Soul Coins, the female soul master's eyes lit up. At lightning speed, she swept all twenty coins into her pocket.

"I'll go with you!"

Seeing her agree so readily, Lu Renjia was immediately overjoyed.

Su Yuntian, however, was quite astonished... Weren't mercenaries like this, seemingly down-and-out yet full of swagger, usually hidden big shots?

This sister had actually been bought off so easily by Lu Renjia's money?

Su Yuntian felt a little let down.

Unexpectedly, the female soul master immediately added, "With twenty Gold Soul Coins, you won't lose out, and you won't be cheated. For this soul hunt, I'll go with you!"

From the sound of it, she was not going with Lu Renjia to the Heaven Dou City Imperial Guards after all.

Lu Renjia's expression became rather colorful... He was a level forty-five Soul Ancestor. Did he need to pay a Soul Grandmaster to hunt soul beasts?

Was something wrong with his brain?

Su Yuntian had been watching from the side the whole time, and now he could no longer hold back his laughter.

But the female soul master soon turned toward him. Her black, bright eyes radiated an icy chill, making Su Yuntian abruptly stop laughing.

...This woman's gaze was so cold!

She would definitely never get married.

That was Su Yuntian's first impression of the female soul master.

Seeing that his recruitment attempt had failed, Lu Renjia stopped wasting words and began introducing the target of this soul hunt. He told the female soul master that they were helping Su Yuntian hunt a soul beast.

"Food and lodging are fully covered. We have the permit. You just need to come along and fight some soul beasts."

The female soul master put away the wooden sign displaying her rates and nodded. "Okay."

It was concise, to say the least.

"Get a good rest today. We leave early tomorrow morning."

Lu Renjia pointed at the inn not far away and took the lead in walking over.

The female soul master looked at the three-story wooden building by the roadside, and a hint of hesitation flashed through her eyes.

Lu Renjia, walking ahead, had no idea what she was thinking, but Su Yuntian asked, "What do you want to say?"

The female soul master lowered her eyes. "The inns here charge three times the prices outside."

Su Yuntian gave an "Mm," and said nothing else.

...It was only triple the price. A day still cost less than one gold coin. It was not worth worrying about.

Besides, no matter how expensive it was, Lu Renjia would pay. Even if Su Yuntian had to pay, it would ultimately still be Xue Qinghe's money.

Walking at the back, the female soul master could not help feeling annoyed... Were these two idiots?

Her inward complaints did not last long, because they had already reached the inn.

After dinner, Su Yuntian refused Lu Renjia's invitation to drink together. He sat in meditation in his room, replenishing his Soul Power and bringing himself to peak condition.

Although the control-system female soul master and Lu Renjia would protect him, Su Yuntian still hoped to defeat the soul beast himself and claim victory, if possible.

For no other reason than that he was the inheritor of Hero King Gilgamesh.

If he did not even possess the arrogance to hunt a soul beast alone, how could he be worthy of being a king?

Early the next morning, Lu Renjia knocked on Su Yuntian's and the female soul master's doors.

"Let's go."

After entering the Soul Hunting Forest, Lu Renjia waited until there was no one else nearby before saying, "Although Sir Yuntian is only level twenty, his second soul ring must aim for a Thousand-year Soul Beast. Ma'am, do you understand?"

Surprise flashed through the female soul master's black, bright eyes, and she could not help looking at Su Yuntian a few more times.

As for her reply, it remained as succinct as ever. "Okay."

"You may call me Lin Mengzhui."

After a pause, she gave her name.

"My name is Lu Renjia."

"Su Yuntian."

To be fair, although Lin Mengzhui's voice was cold, it was undoubtedly pleasant to hear. This gave Su Yuntian some unpleasant associations... He had heard that the better a woman's voice sounded, the uglier she was, just like Princess Bi Luo, that beauty streamer who could not show her face?

Could she be somewhat similar to Lin Mengzhui before him?

Lin Mengzhui did not have as many wandering thoughts as Su Yuntian. After entering the forest, she became alert, focusing all her attention on the unknown dangers around them.

Su Yuntian, on the other hand, was not nervous at all, since Lu Renjia, an expert, was watching over him. Besides, in the captive Soul Hunting Forests within Douluo Continent, the soul beasts were at most Thousand-year Soul Beasts.

With Lu Renjia, a Soul Ancestor, there was basically no chance of encountering danger in this forest.

Likewise, low-level Soul Hunting Forests had a drawback: high-level soul beasts were too scarce. If Su Yuntian wanted to find a suitable Thousand-year Soul Beast here, he probably would not manage it without spending several days.

The three entered the Soul Hunting Forest as though they were out for fun. In a relaxed and cheerful mood, they wandered around for four hours, then Lu Renjia, the Soul Ancestor, personally caught two rabbits and roasted them.

Although Lu Renjia was an officer of the Heaven Dou City Imperial Guards, he had developed excellent cooking skills. The roasted rabbit meat was golden in color and fragrant beyond measure.

Su Yuntian did not stand on ceremony. He tore off a rabbit leg and began gnawing on it, asking as he ate, "This rabbit meat is pretty good. What breed is it?"

He was thinking about catching more to bring back and letting Da Xue try roasting rabbits when he heard Lu Renjia say, "Tender Bone Charm Rabbits, of course."

Su Yuntian froze. "What did you say?"

"Tender Bone Charm Rabbits. Their meat is tender, unlike those other old rabbits that are so tough you can't chew them."

Lu Renjia ate with great relish.

Su Yuntian, however, hesitated.

...These were Tender Bone Charm Rabbits. What if these dead rabbits had a cousin named Xiao Wu?

For a moment, he was troubled. Then he happened to see the female soul master across from him, Lin Mengzhui, remove her veil and hold a rabbit leg as she ate heartily.

Lin Mengzhui had the typical sharp, pointed face of an internet celebrity. Combined with her cool temperament and lively eyes, the effect was unexpectedly excellent. She was the very image of a cold, regal beauty, with an immensely powerful presence.

Su Yuntian felt a slight sense of regret... Lin Mengzhui really was a beauty. Thinking further, a masked, aloof, beautiful soul master with a tragic background, developing feelings for the protagonist after sharing hardships with him and falling in love...

What a cliché. It was simply too cliché.

This "masked beauty" character setup was so boring!

At that moment, Lin Mengzhui swallowed the last piece of rabbit meat in her mouth, slightly raised her head, and asked, "Is there something on my face?"

"Yes!" Su Yuntian hurriedly nodded, his expression serious. "Grease from the roasted rabbit meat, and bits of meat you didn't finish eating!"
