Will Qian Daoliu Agree?

"Done." Qian Chenzhou took the roasted Soft-Bone Rabbit from his hand, stood before Golden Crocodile, and offered it to him. "Uncle Golden Crocodile, here. Try my cooking."

Golden Crocodile froze for a moment before accepting it with a smile.

He had not expected Chenzhou to be so thoughtful. The first thing he did after roasting it was let him taste it. Not bad at all.

Even if it tasted awful, he would grit his teeth and finish it.

Crunch!

The moment he bit down, the fat beneath the skin seemed to burst in his mouth. The juices had been perfectly sealed inside, and the meat was firm, springy, and satisfyingly chewy.

The outer skin had been roasted to a crisp, and every chew came with a continuous crunching sound.

"Not bad. Chenzhou, your cooking is excellent. Whoever marries you in the future will be blessed." Golden Crocodile smiled teasingly, then cast a sidelong glance at Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong happened to be looking up at Qian Chenzhou at that moment. Naturally, she noticed Golden Crocodile's gaze, as though he had seen through her thoughts. Her face immediately reddened, and she lowered her head.

"That's good, then."

Qian Chenzhou had not given such matters any thought. As long as his cooking was good, that was enough.

He turned, picked up a roasted rabbit, and handed it to Bibi Dong. As he placed it in her hands, he carefully reminded her, "Be careful, it's hot."

"Mm."

Unlike Golden Crocodile, Bibi Dong did not eat with large, careless bites. Instead, she ate with great elegance, chewing in small mouthfuls while occasionally glancing at Qian Chenzhou as he ate his roasted rabbit.

Would Qian Daoliu agree?

Golden Crocodile had already agreed, so Qian Daoliu should have no reason to refuse, right?

Qian Chenzhou had no idea what Bibi Dong was thinking. He was somewhat puzzled as to why Yue Guan and Ghost had not returned yet. Could Dugu Bo's cave really not be here?

Speak of the devil.

Just as Qian Chenzhou was thinking about them, two figures appeared from different directions.

"Young Master, I found it!" Yue Guan exclaimed excitedly.

Ghost was somewhat disappointed. As a Titled Douluo most skilled in reconnaissance, with a group of Spirit Masters under him who specialized in scouting, he had still let Yue Guan find Dugu Bo's trail first.

It made him lose a little face.

"Don't rush. Eat first." Qian Chenzhou handed each of them a roasted rabbit and said with a smile, "What could be more important than eating?"

"Alright."

"Alright."

Yue Guan seemed unable to wait to recount how he had found Dugu Bo's cave. He wolfed down the roasted rabbit in a few bites and wiped the corner of his mouth.

"Young Master, I headed north and found traces of Dugu Bo."

"At first, there was no difference in the smell of the air. But the farther in I went, the more the scent changed. It carried a faint fishy sweetness."

"I could never forget that smell, because Dugu Bo used those deadly poisons to obstruct me and escape from my grasp!"

"But Young Master, your idea was truly brilliant!"

As Yue Guan prattled on, he did not forget to flatter Qian Chenzhou. "That old poisoner would never have imagined that his location had been exposed. This time, we'll definitely take him down!"

Listening to Yue Guan, Qian Chenzhou was somewhat speechless.

Still, he did not say anything else and merely nodded quietly.

After eating and drinking their fill, Qian Chenzhou stood up. "Elder Yue Guan, lead the way."

"Alright!"

"We rest tonight." Golden Crocodile directly vetoed Qian Chenzhou's plan. "That old poisoner Dugu Bo isn't going anywhere. It makes no difference whether we go a day earlier or later. But you're still growing, Chenzhou. How can you be so careless?"

"Go to sleep obediently. We'll set out early tomorrow morning."

Qian Chenzhou immediately felt terrible.

He wanted to argue with Golden Crocodile, but when he saw Ghost and Yue Guan already taking tents from their Storage Soul Tools and efficiently setting them up, he knew there was no room for discussion.

After all, he had only just awakened his martial soul and had not even obtained his first soul ring. His strength was utterly insufficient.

Even if he reached the outskirts of the poison formation, he would have no way to enter it.

Ah, this is hard!

With no other choice, he could only obediently go to sleep.

Inside the tent, Bibi Dong walked straight in. Before Qian Chenzhou could say anything, she pulled him into her arms and launched another gentle face-washing assault, squeezing him until he could barely breathe.

"Have you grown again?" Qian Chenzhou gasped for air and asked irritably, casually patting that full, upright pair.

Bibi Dong's face turned scarlet, but she gathered her courage and asked, "What, you don't like it?"

"Who wouldn't like them big?" Qian Chenzhou said with a smile.

"That's good, then."

Qian Chenzhou: ...

The Bibi Dong before him was nothing like the crazed beauty in his memories. It could only be said that they had absolutely nothing to do with each other!

He just did not know why she had become like this.

She clearly knew the memories from the original story. She should hate Qian Xunji and even Spirit Hall. Even though she had not experienced it in this life, she should never be able to forget such humiliating things.

At first light, Qian Chenzhou had already opened his eyes. When he walked outside, he found Golden Crocodile watching him curiously, a teasing smile at the corners of his lips.

Qian Chenzhou did not understand why Golden Crocodile was smiling like that.

Yue Guan and Ghost immediately lowered their heads when they saw Bibi Dong emerge from the tent.

They had not intentionally seen Qian Chenzhou's slap land on those full, upright peaks last night. The only thing to blame was the bright lamp inside, which cast their shadows onto the tent.

Even if they pretended not to see it, there was nothing they could do!

To ease their current embarrassment, Ghost and Yue Guan quickly dismantled the tents and packed them back into their Storage Soul Tools.

"Yue Guan, lead the way."

Golden Crocodile directly picked up Qian Chenzhou and condensed a shield of soul power around his body.

"Yes, Second Worshipper!"

Yue Guan answered and activated his speed, quickly heading toward the direction he remembered from yesterday. He did not move too fast, still accommodating Bibi Dong's pace.

When he saw that Bibi Dong could keep up, he could not help but sigh in relief.

At the rate things were going, it was only a matter of time before Qian Chenzhou won Bibi Dong over. Naturally, he had to take better care of her.

Everyone knew women could be quite petty.

If Bibi Dong ever whispered a few pillow-side words into Qian Chenzhou's ear, his life would become very difficult!

The group advanced swiftly, spending three hours crossing countless dense forests.

Along the way, the auras of the group spread out. Countless forest birds took flight in panic, while spirit beasts fled in terror into the distance, not daring to linger here.

The chaos they caused along the way was not within Golden Crocodile's consideration. There was only one goal before them.
