Chapter 70 Huo Yuxi's Choice: Joining the Snow Sect!
"What's this?" Huo Yuxi looked at the token in Yun Ze's hand, a chill creeping into her heart.
Yun Ze smiled and said, "I come from a hidden sect called the Snow Sect. This token is my proof of joining my Snow Sect."
The Snow Sect?
Huo Yuxi blinked. She had never heard of it, but to be able to cultivate someone like Yun Ze, it must be a very powerful force.
"The forces on the continent are all intricately connected, especially Shrek Academy. Although it's an academy, it has relationships with various empires. It advocates peace, but it has abundant resources, making it suitable for Soul Masters. It has cultivated a considerable number of genius Soul Masters,"
Yunze continued. "When I saved you, I could sense that you had some hidden reasons. It was these reasons that drove you to hunt Soul Beasts alone in the Star Dou Great Forest."
"Whether you wanted to protect your family or avenge them, Shrek Academy cannot provide what you desire."
Huo Yuxi remained silent. "So... you've already seen through it."
"There's hatred in your eyes. Though it's faint, I can feel it," Yunze said softly, his gaze softening. "Join my Snow Sect, and I will give you the best help. One day, if you need revenge, no matter where I am, I will immediately help you achieve everything you want."
"I..."
Hearing Yunze's words, Huo Yuxi wanted to reach out, but ultimately stopped in mid-air.
Yunze's eyes were calm, without a trace of disappointment.
The next instant, Huo Yuxi suddenly reached out and grasped the Snow Sect token in Yun Ze's hand.
"Brother Yun, I want to join the Snow Sect!" A determined look appeared in Huo Yuxi's eyes.
Welcome to the team." Yun Ze smiled and handed Huo Yuxi the Shrek Academy recommendation letter.
Huo Yuxi looked at Yun Ze with some confusion, but he explained, "Due to some reasons, you can't go to the Snow Sect yet. I have other things to do and can't take you with me for a while."
"What I'm about to say, you must listen carefully, understand?"
"Yes!" Huo Yuxi nodded quickly, her little face full of focus.
"After entering Shrek Academy, you must be patient and not let yourself stand out too much, but at the right time, you must reveal your martial soul advantage and strive to enter the Soul Guidance Department and become a core disciple."
"Then, you must be careful of someone named Wang Dong, gender unknown."
"Wang Dong?" Huo Yuxi murmured the name softly, looking at Yun Ze with some doubt, "Brother Yun, is there something wrong with him?"
"Perhaps one day, we will meet on the battlefield." Yun Ze paused for a moment and spoke slowly.
Huo Yuxi didn't answer, but silently memorized the name.
"Brother Yun's enemy?"
"That's about all I wanted to say. Remember it all, right?"
"I remember." Huo Yuxi nodded, then suddenly her face changed, and she looked at Yun Ze with some difficulty.
Yun Ze was stunned for a moment. "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with absorbing the soul ring?"
"No, no~" Huo Yuxi blushed and looked at Yun Ze shyly. "Brother Yun, I, I'm a little hungry~"
Yun Ze, "."
Touching his nose, Yun Ze thought for a moment and took out two soul beast legs from his pendant.
Purple Spirit Wolf is a very rare soul beast. He didn't know if it was edible, but Yun Ze decided to use the meat he had already tried.
"It's really inconvenient that Qiu'er isn't here." Yun Ze shook his head and prepared to cook the two soul beast legs using the most basic fire-making method, but Huo Yuxi stopped him.
"Brother Yun, I can actually cook too, how about I do it?" She walked to Yun Ze's side, and without asking Yun Ze's opinion, she hugged the two soul beast legs, took out a dagger and began to skillfully clean the fur and skin on them. "Can you start a fire?"
"Yes, Mom taught me before."
"Then you go ahead and do your work." Yunze simply let Huo Yuxi handle it, while he rummaged through the pendant to see if there were any suitable rare and precious herbs for
her. Huo Yuxi was very serious and efficient; in no time, she had everything arranged perfectly, from starting a fire to cleaning the ingredients.
After cutting the two thighs into small pieces, Huo Yuxi used a twig she found nearby to make bamboo skewers and skewered the meat.
Soon, an enticing aroma wafted through the forest.
Yunze maintained his aura throughout, and had Tianmeng constantly observe the surrounding movements, so no soul beast dared to approach.
"Brother Yun, it's ready to eat!"
After sprinkling some salt, Huo Yuxi excitedly picked up a few skewers of roasted meat and handed them to Yunze.
Yunze reached out and took them, casually tearing off a large piece of meat and chewing it a couple of times before his eyes lit up instantly.
"Is it good?" Huo Yuxi looked at Yun Ze nervously. Although she was confident in her cooking skills, she felt inexplicably nervous.
Yun Ze was silent for a moment. "I just realized what kind of rubbish I used to make."
Huo Yuxi covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Here are some spices. See if you have any suitable ones to sprinkle on." Yun Ze took out some bottles and jars from his pendant. Some of these were unique to the far north, while others were products from cities and families around the northern border. There were many varieties.
Huo Yuxi was clearly a cooking enthusiast. Looking at the bottles and jars, she opened them, smelled them, and occasionally exclaimed in admiration.
She carefully sprinkled spices onto the roasted meat, afraid of using too much.
"When I was little, the happiest moment was eating my mom's grilled fish. It was near the end of the year, and I could rest a little, so I'd go to the pond to catch some fish. My mom would light a fire and grill them, making them so fragrant and crispy—they were so delicious."
"My mom said her biggest wish in life was for my father to eat her grilled fish, but she never got to fulfill that wish before she passed away."
"And I, I never even saw my father once."
Huo Yuxi said softly, her eyes unconsciously welling up with tears.
Yun Ze sat beside her, staring at the fire, lost in silence.
"What a pitiful girl. It makes me want to cry!" Tian Meng said with a sigh.
Yun Ze didn't answer.
When Huo Yuxi handed the spiced grilled meat to Yun Ze again, he didn't take it.
"Brother Yun?"
"You eat it yourself." Yun Ze looked into her eyes, his gaze incredibly gentle. "Eat more."
Huo Yuxi was startled, but obediently withdrew her hand and ate slowly, taking small bites.
Yunze silently watched Huo Yuxi, his eyes serene.
In the firelight, the shadows of the boy and girl stretched long, gradually merging together.
