Wind God-Slaying Baboon

Wind God-Slaying Baboon

"Yes, yes, yes, of course."

Tang Ya kept agreeing, her eyes fixed straight on the food. She hurriedly took the handful of Lamb Skewers, sat down on the spot without the slightest regard for her image, and ate while puffing air out of her mouth.

Who knew whether it was because they were hot or because they were spicy.

Bei Bei walked over as well, raised a hand in greeting, then said to Tang Ya, "Xiaoya, this little brother hasn't eaten yet, and you've already started."

Tang Ya's beautiful eyes widened as she snapped, "What did you call me?"

Bei Bei raised his hands in surrender.

"All right, Teacher Tang Ya. Happy now?"

Tang Ya rolled her eyes at him.

"That's more like it. You need to remember your status."

Qian Chaoguang sat off to the side, secretly amused. He handed Bei Bei a few of the freshly grilled skewers, while also giving him a look that every man understood.

"Want some?"

Bei Bei waved a hand and smiled faintly.

"A gentleman doesn't take what others love. Little brother, you haven't even eaten yet."

"Come on, none of that. These things grill fast. Just eat together."

Qian Chaoguang used a small fan to fan the stove.

The wind fed the flames. The roaring charcoal fire combined with the mutton fat, releasing an even richer fragrance.

"My Younger Sister marinated all this meat for me before I came out. I kept it chilled with ice inside my Soul Tool, so when I want to eat, I just light a fire and grill it. Mutton is best grilled raw directly, but the quality of this meat isn't great, so I had to settle for second best and use some marinade to cover it up."

Only then did Bei Bei take a few skewers and sit down beside Tang Ya.

"How rude of us, how rude. We haven't even introduced ourselves. My name is Bei Bei, and she's Tang Ya. May I ask your name, little brother?"

"My name is Qian Chaoguang."

As he grilled, Qian Chaoguang used his Mental Power to observe Bei Bei and Tang Ya's movements.

These two were way too unguarded. They actually dared to eat food handed to them by a stranger whose strength and background they didn't know?

Weren't they afraid he might have bad intentions?

Forget it. Whatever. This made things easier for him anyway.

Building a good relationship in advance with this great-grandson of the Dragon God Douluo would also help his life in the academy later on.

Under Qian Chaoguang's practiced skewer-turning technique, a large handful of Lamb Skewers was scorched by fierce flames, flipped up and down, and before long, another big batch was done.

The three of them ate until their mouths gleamed with oil, enjoying themselves immensely.

Before long, the small bucket Qian Chaoguang had prepared in advance was already filled with skewer sticks.

"So good. I've never had meat skewers this delicious before. Little Brother Chaoguang, why don't you become my chef in the future? I'll hire you at a high salary!"

Tang Ya lay on the grass, stretching in satisfaction.

Qian Chaoguang smiled, tidying the things and trash on the ground as he steered the topic elsewhere.

"My skills are far worse compared to my Younger Sister's. The Grilled Fish she makes is truly outstanding, absolutely worthy of being called a rare delicacy."

Tang Ya's eyes lit up, and she abruptly sat up.

"Really? If there's a chance, I have to try it!"

"Mm. If fate lets us meet again someday, I'll definitely invite you and Brother Bei to taste it."

As Qian Chaoguang spoke, he stood up. The miscellaneous items on the ground had already all been put into his Storage Bracelet.

"I'm off. See you if fate allows."

Bei Bei hurriedly said, "Little brother, this is the wilderness, and it's not far from the Star Dou Great Forest where Soul Beasts appear. Where are you going?"

Qian Chaoguang pretended to be mysterious, waving goodbye to the two of them. Under their astonished gazes, he left behind only one sentence.

"I'm going to become stronger."

After Qian Chaoguang left, Tang Ya and Bei Bei started muttering to each other.

Tang Ya had naturally been drawn in by Qian Chaoguang's superb barbecue skills and wanted to bring him into the Tang Sect.

Bei Bei, however, was not very optimistic. The reason was that Qian Chaoguang wore a silver bracelet on his wrist that was clearly worth quite a lot.

Combined with the fact that he had no luggage, Bei Bei guessed that nine times out of ten, it was a Storage Soul Tool with an extremely large capacity.

All right, in truth, it was because Qian Chaoguang had said so himself earlier. Tang Ya had been too busy eating and had not listened at all.

With all these reasons added together, Bei Bei believed Qian Chaoguang most likely had a background and was probably also heading into the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt a Spirit Ring.

Even after Bei Bei analyzed it like that, Tang Ya still insisted that Qian Chaoguang was alone and used herself as an example.

Thus, unable to win against Tang Ya, Bei Bei decided to rest for a bit and then follow after him to take a look, to see if there was anything they could do to help Qian Chaoguang and repay the favor of this meal of grilled meat.

Meanwhile, Qian Chaoguang estimated Huo Yuhao's traveling speed from the original work and steadily approached the Star Dou Great Forest.

When he saw a wooden sign that read, "In fifty li, you will enter the territory of the Star Dou Great Forest. Soul Beasts may appear. Take care," a weight finally lifted from his heart.

He had not gone the wrong way. This was indeed the route from the original work.

His destination was just ahead. For this day, he had waited a full ten years.

At that moment, besides excitement, Qian Chaoguang also felt somewhat nervous.

He took a long saber from his Storage Bracelet, slung it across his back, and strode forward with firm steps.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, Electrolux, I'm coming!

The air gradually grew cool, and the forest's unique scent of grass and trees spread everywhere, as if it had been completely cut off from the outside world.

Without a Guardian protecting him, Qian Chaoguang did not dare be careless. He drew a coldly gleaming long saber from his back and gripped it in his hand.

The entire saber had been forged from ice-attribute rare metal refined through Thousand Refinement. A faint white light flickered across the blade, its sharpness pressing in on all who saw it.

Even if it had only been made by subjecting ordinary Cold Iron to Thousand Refinement, in this era it was still a rare divine weapon.

Forcefully suppressing the excitement and anticipation in his heart, Qian Chaoguang advanced step by step, spreading out his Pseudo Divine Sense as he carefully prepared to enter the Star Dou Great Forest.

Suddenly, a swift figure appeared within his perception.

The feeling was like something suddenly flashing past your eyes while you were spacing out.

The next second, in the woods to his left, a black shadow flashed past and instantly appeared before his eyes.

Within the perception of his Pseudo Divine Sense, the newcomer had nowhere to hide. Qian Chaoguang had already seen its appearance clearly.

It was about one meter tall, covered entirely in brownish-yellow fur, with brown eyes, extremely long arms, sharp nails on its claws, exposed canine teeth at the corners of its mouth, and a fierce glint blazing in both eyes.

It had finally come!

Wind—Almost-Succeeded-at-Godslaying—Baboon.

The corners of Qian Chaoguang's mouth could no longer be restrained from rising. Gripping the long saber in both hands, he slashed forward fiercely.

The Wind Baboon reacted with astonishing speed. At the very instant it pounced down, it actually let out another strange cry and sprang diagonally backward, causing that heavy, powerful slash to merely graze it.

Its attack had failed and it had been injured instead. The Wind Baboon clutched its wounded left claw, let out a low roar in Qian Chaoguang's direction, and leapt toward him once more.

As it jumped high into the air, its upper body jerked upward with force. Its fists hammered against its chest, producing a war-drum-like thud, and a ball of white light sprayed from its mouth, flying toward Qian Chaoguang.

Qian Chaoguang neither dodged nor evaded. Bloodline Power boiled within his body, and the surrounding air instantly chilled.

A one-foot blade of light extended from the tip of the long saber, lengthening the already long blade by another section.

Thanks to boss Osiris Obelisk for the tip.
