"Sure."
Lin Yi replied with a smile. "Then why don't you find me a place now? I'll get started preparing something for you to eat."
"Can you really do it that quickly?"
Tang Wutong narrowed her eyes and watched Lin Yi for a while, feeling a little puzzled.
But then she thought that her father had introduced him, so he should be reliable. Tang Wutong agreed and pointed to the kitchen inside.
"You can use the kitchen over there. But we don't have the things I want to eat at home."
"That's easy."
Lin Yi turned to her.
"Just tell me what you like to eat, and I'll prepare it for you. How does that sound?"
"This..."
Tang Wutong hesitated for a moment, then fetched some paper and a pen and quickly wrote down a long list of her favorite foods.
Lin Yi glanced at the list and couldn't help feeling surprised.
Good grief, Tang San's daughter looked so delicate and frail, yet she certainly didn't hold back when it came to eating. Tsk, looks like I'll have to put some real thought into this.
"What, can't you do it?"
Tang Wutong glanced sidelong at Lin Yi, looking a little disappointed.
"Actually, I know you might not be able to. Don't force yourself."
"Who says I can't? Just watch me show you what I can do!"
Lin Yi opened the refrigerator and took out the ingredients they had. He put on the apron hanging nearby and got straight to work without another word.
Huo Yuhao curiously moved closer. When he saw Lin Yi's superb knife skills, he couldn't help praising him.
"I never expected you to be so good at more than just cultivating Soul Power. You're pretty skilled at housework, too. I wonder if you can surprise us even more."
"Just you wait!"
Lin Yi smiled calmly and turned his attention back to cooking. Just then, the sky outside suddenly darkened, and thunder rumbled repeatedly in their ears.
"Yuhao!"
Tang Wutong called out. Huo Yuhao nodded and walked over with a serious expression, reminding Lin Yi as he went.
"Stay inside the Divine Realm. Wutong and I will go take a look!"
"Oh, got it."
Lin Yi didn't bother with pleasantries. Whoever had come outside, the God of Emotion and the Butterfly God were going out together, so they could certainly handle it. He was better off focusing on his side hustle, earning some money, and getting ready to cultivate his Second Soul Ring.
Tang Wutong and Huo Yuhao went outside. At a glance, they saw a massive Thunder Dragon rampaging in their courtyard. The storm of lightning swirling around it had badly damaged the once-beautiful flower beds.
Tang Wutong's eyes blazed with anger as the power of the Asura God slowly appeared around her. Her lips moved slightly. "You dare run wild on my turf? You must be tired of living. I wondered who it was, but you're just a little Thunder Dragon. Fine, if you think you're so tough, then let me—"
"Wutong, let me handle it."
Huo Yuhao reached out to stop Tang Wutong, his gaze full of tenderness.
"Your husband's here. All you need to do is enjoy yourself and eat well. Leave everything else to me."
"Hey, are you trying to fatten me up into a pig?"
Tang Wutong's cheeks warmed slightly, and she gave a small huff.
"I want to help you out once in a while, too!"
"I know, sweetheart. But ever since we came to the Divine Realm, I haven't had many chances to stretch my legs. Let me show off a little this time."
"All right."
Tang Wutong smiled faintly.
"Since my husband says so, then..."
Before she could finish, a flash of light streaked past. Lin Yi rushed to the front and unleashed the power of his First Soul Ring.
"Dragon Binding!"
Streaks of golden light restrained the Thunder Dragon. Then, like long, slender blades, they sliced it into pieces.
"Wow, that skill is incredible!"
Tang Wutong couldn't help exclaiming. "Your power's pretty impressive. But after all this, I still don't know what your name is."
"My name is Lin Yi. Please take care of me."
"Lin Yi? That's a simple name, but it's got some punch."
Tang Wutong turned and glanced at Huo Yuhao again, smiling calmly.
"Yuhao, with Lin Yi's First Soul Skill, our chances of dealing with the God of Destruction have improved."
"Hang on."
Lin Yi looked puzzled. "You said you're going to deal with the God of Destruction? But isn't he a god, just like you?"
"There's something you don't know."
Huo Yuhao sighed, his expression turning more solemn.
"The God of Destruction is an ancient god from antiquity, and his power is immense. He was once the sole ruler of the Divine Realm. But later, my father-in-law Tang San—who became the new Sea God—appeared. The God of Destruction felt his power being suppressed, so he was deeply displeased and has been trying to target us ever since."
"Then that's easy."
Lin Yi smiled at Huo Yuhao and Tang Wutong. "I may not be strong enough yet, but give me some time and I'll grow stronger. Then I'll help you deal with the God of Destruction."
"What spirit!"
Huo Yuhao's eyes held a hint of admiration. "Since you're determined to do this, I'll help you cultivate your Second Soul Ring. Your First Soul Ring is powerful, but you still need to keep strengthening it. Before you move on to the Second Soul Ring, try to cultivate your First Soul Ring's Soul Skill to the ninth level. That's the only way to bring its full power to bear!"
