The Immoral Dog suddenly stared blankly at Cao Yu lying on the bed, his face full of disbelief. Then he raised his front paw and pawed at the air, saying ingratiatingly.
"Master, I think you should put me back."
Cao Yu turned his head to look at the Immoral Dog, a smile on his face, and said, "What, isn't it better to stay outside? The air here is so fresh."
The Immoral Dog looked at him helplessly, muttering to himself, "Although I'm not human, you really are a dog. After letting me out, you actually asked if dog meat tastes good?"
Cao Yu said, "Alright, I'm not going to chat with you anymore. Go turn off the light."
Is that Xiaoxiao you're asking for?
The Immoral Dog, as if granted a pardon, strode to the door. The light switch was on the wall next to the door, some distance from the bed.
After it turned off the light and turned back, it indeed didn't hear Cao Yu saying anything.
The Immoral Dog then breathed a sigh of relief, lay down on the floor, and fell asleep with his eyes half-closed.
Cao Yu called it out this time simply to have it turn off the light. After all, once he lay down on the bed, he found himself too lazy to move, as if the bed was holding him tightly and he couldn't bear to move.
Early in the morning.
After having breakfast with He Caitou, Cao Yu went into the classroom alone.
Xuan Ziwen usually hadn't come during this time, but that didn't interfere with Cao Yu's cultivation.
Not long after, Ju Zi and the others came in. Seeing Cao Yu cultivating, Ke Ke said, "This guy is here so early! No wonder he's already at the sixth level of cultivation at such a young age."
Ju Zi laughed and teased, "Then will you still dare to sleep in? Even a boy gets up earlier than you."
Ke Ke, however, didn't seem to care, saying, "Oh, I'm only a little later than him, it's fine. Besides, you'll call me, won't you?"
Just as the two were talking, Xuan Ziwen led two male students in.
After seeing that everyone had arrived, Xuan Ziwen said to them, "You don't need to attend class today. In a little while, go to the Jingyang Mountain Range and find a secluded place to test the Soul Tool you made yesterday."
Then he woke up Cao Yu, who was cultivating, and instructed him, " Cao Yu, you should come along too. After all, there are many Soul Beast in the Jingyang Mountain Range, and your strength is higher than theirs. More people will mean more protection."
"Okay." Cao Yu nodded in agreement. Staying in the classroom to cultivate was a bit boring, so now that he finally had a mission, he might as well go outside and enjoy the scenery.
Upon hearing that there was no school today and she could go outside to play, Ke Ke smiled even more happily. However, she still asked curiously, "Teacher, can you come along too?"
Xuan Ziwen shook his head helplessly and said, "No, the academy just assigned me another research task, and the time is tight. I simply can't spare the time. You'll have to complete it for me, and also..."
" Ke Ke, don't just focus on playing, remember to record the experimental results."
Ke Ke nodded with a grin, "Okay, Ju Zi, let's go now." Although she agreed readily, her expression made her seem rather unreliable.
Then Ke Ke waved her hand, looked at the two male students, and said, " Zi Mu, Wang Shaojie, hurry up and catch up, or I won't wait for you."
Ju Zi then pulled Cao Yu along, her eyes full of smiles, and said, " Little Yu, you're so strong, you have to protect us well!"
At this moment, Ke Ke also said, "Yeah, yeah, handsome Cao Yu, you'd better give it your all! After all, there are many dangerous Soul Beast in the Jingyang Mountain Range."
However, Zi Mu and Wang Shaojie, on the other side, felt a little jealous after hearing what the two of them said, and said with a look of dissatisfaction, "Don't worry, with those Soul Beast in the Jingyang Mountain Range, the two of us are more than enough to protect you."
Cao Yu simply smiled and remained silent, clearly realizing that the two were jealous.
This guy named Zi Mu is the same male student with long blond hair and a fairly handsome appearance. According to Cao Yu's observations over the past few days, he probably likes Ju Zi.
As for Wang Shaojie, that nobleman from the Sun Moon Empire, it's estimated that he's only interested in Ke Ke.
The group ascended into the air aboard their respective Flying Soul Tool, then accelerated and flew away into the distance.
During his time in the Sun Moon Empire, Cao Yu had done a lot of research, including information about the Jingyang Mountain Range.
The Jingyang Mountain Range are located in the north-central part of the Sun Moon Continent, about a thousand miles away.
Moreover, the Jingyang Mountain Range cover a vast area with numerous branches and are covered with abundant vegetation.
The mountain range is rich in mineral resources, but it is also home to many special Soul Beast that are fond of metal energy.
At noon, everyone had landed.
Ju Zi instructed the group, "Let's have lunch before continuing our journey."
Before long, Ju Zi was seen taking out a large amount of food from her Storage Soul Tool, including plenty of fruits, vegetables, and meats.
And the seasonings and tableware were also included, so it seems this person is a seasoned foodie.
Zi Mu and Wang Shaojie exchanged a glance and both wore happy smiles.
Looks like they're in for a treat today.
Cao Yu laughed and said, "You've prepared quite thoroughly."
Ju Zi fiddled with the cutlery in her hands, carefully preparing the food she had taken out.
Upon hearing his words, Ju Zi's expression turned slightly smug.
" Little Yu, please wait patiently a little longer. Try some after I've finished making the barbecue, hehe."
Ju Zi was still quickly processing the ingredients in her hands, and there happened to be a stream nearby, which was just enough to clean the vegetables.
Ke Ke was also helping out from the side.
Before long, the delicious aroma of food wafted from the barbecue grill.
Then, one by one, golden-brown roasted chickens were served to everyone by Ju Zi.
If you look closely, the crispy crust still smells delicious, and there are quite a few spices left, making it look incredibly appetizing.
"Come on, try some and see if it's good."
"My stomach is growling! Give me an Ju Zi, it smells so good!"
Ke Ke took a bite without hesitation, and the aroma of the golden-brown roasted meat instantly filled her mouth.
"Mmm! Delicious, Ju Zi! Your cooking skills are getting better and better!"
Cao Yu and the others nodded in agreement, admitting that the roast chicken did indeed taste quite good.
"Whoever marries you in the future will be incredibly lucky!" While praising her, Ke Ke didn't forget to continue eating, and she looked rather adorable.
She turned into a little foodie, just like a little girl.
Ju Zi said with a smile, " Ke Ke, eat slowly, don't choke."
"Hehe, don't worry, it won't happen." Ke Ke had already transformed into a foodie, didn't care about anything else; filling her stomach was the most important thing for her.
Cao Yu couldn't help but tease, "Sister, after you graduate, I'll invite you to work as my chef, how about that?"
"Meals and accommodation are included, and you'll receive a monthly salary."
