Huo Yuhao smiled and nodded, then pointed to the roasting meat on the campfire and said, "Then I'll come along too."
Zhang Lexuan didn't move. Her gentle eyes flickered slightly as she looked at Huo Yuhao and then at the roasted meat by the campfire. Her meaning was quite clear.
Shrugging, Huo Yuhao picked up the roasted meat from beside the campfire and took a porcelain basin from his soul tool.
He used a special kitchen knife to scrape the meat chunks into a porcelain basin, and then flashed the knife a few times to cut them into small strips.
Then Huo Yuhao sprinkled in the prepared spices and added his secret-recipe sesame oil.
After stirring it for a while, he took out the grill and placed the porcelain bowl on it to heat it. Then, Huo Yuhao went even further and took out a wooden spatula to stir-fry it back and forth, leaving Zhang Lexuan dumbfounded.
Is this a picnic? No, wait! Picnics don't need to be this professional, do they?
Finally, Huo Yuhao sprinkled some chopped perilla leaves on top, mixed it well, and then sandwiched it in the thin pancake he had brought before handing it to Zhang Lexuan.
Smelling the aroma emanating from the sandwich, Zhang Lexuan secretly swallowed, then took it from Huo Yuhao's hand. She stole a glance at Huo Yuhao's face, only to unexpectedly meet his gaze, and a faint blush appeared on her fair cheeks.
Then, under Huo Yuhao's expectant gaze, she took a small bite of the sandwich. The meat juices were overflowing, the aroma was rich, and there was a hint of spiciness. Combined with the fragrance of perilla and the wheat aroma of the thin pancake, Zhang Lexuan couldn't resist and swallowed it in two or three bites.
Just then, Huo Yuhao handed over a second sandwich.
Zhang Lexuan suppressed her urge to continue eating, nudged Huo Yuhao's hand, and said, "You haven't eaten yet."
"There's more, Sister Lexuan, please don't be shy." Huo Yuhao waved his other hand, and another sandwich was already stuffed into his mouth.
Zhang Lexuan blushed and remained silent for a short while. In the end, she still lost to her gluttony.
"Then I won't be polite." With that, Zhang Lexuan took the pancake from Huo Yuhao again and took a big bite.
Huo Yuhao could tell she was in a good mood. Raising an eyebrow, he smiled and continued eating his breakfast.
Elder Xuan led Wu Ming and the four from the outer courtyard across the mixed zone and the outer area in less than an hour, returning to the east gate of Shrek City.
After bidding farewell to Elder Xuan, Wu Ming and the others immediately returned to the academy to report for duty, leaving only the slovenly old man behind.
Logically speaking, after seeing the people off, Elder Xuan should have rushed back to protect the academy's two true direct descendants.
But Elder Xuan is no ordinary person. He had finished the wine he brought earlier and was now back at Shrek Academy. Would he give up this opportunity to get some more wine?
Obviously, that's impossible!
Therefore, Elder Xuan decisively chose to abandon his post and replenish his mental energy first.
Meanwhile, after Huo Yuhao and Zhang Lexuan finished breakfast and rested for a while, they came to wait for Elder Xuan.
The previous experiences had gone relatively smoothly, but Huo Yuhao dared not relax or be careless, especially since he was worried that something might happen to Elder Xuan during his departure, making it impossible to provide timely assistance.
You have to rely on yourself to save your life, so you have to make thorough preparations.
Having made up his mind, Huo Yuhao acted decisively. He looked solemnly at Zhang Lexuan and said in a deep voice, "Sister Lexuan, have you prepared any defensive measures? For example, a defensive soul tool around level seven or eight?"
Zhang Lexuan was surprised that Huo Yuhao would suddenly ask about soul tools. She shook her head, somewhat puzzled, and said, "No, the Martial Soul Department has always been against the existence of soul tools. I wouldn't say I'm against soul tools, but I don't have any particular feelings about them either, so I haven't made any special preparations for them."
Huo Yuhao sighed. This situation was within his expectations, but fortunately, Zhang Lexuan herself did not oppose the soul tool.
So he took off a light blue soul guide ring from his hand and handed it to Zhang Lexuan.
"These are three level-seven soul tools that my parents and Teacher Fanyu gave me before. I can't use them. Sister Lexuan, you should put them on now, just in case. My life depends on you."
Zhang Lexuan was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting Huo Yuhao's words. She looked intently into Huo Yuhao's eyes, his deep blue pupils exceptionally bright, his resolute attitude leaving no room for jest.
"I understand, thank you." Zhang Lexuan was not an indecisive person. As someone who had experienced it firsthand, she knew Xuan Lao very well. From now on, they were the only ones they could rely on. Huo Yuhao's strength was insufficient, so the pressure was mainly on her. It would be best if she could add some effective methods in advance.
Besides, she wasn't going to keep these things for herself; she could just return them to Huo Yuhao when she got back.
"Sister Lexuan, that Xuanyin Heart-Protecting Mirror is a level seven defensive soul tool. It has an actively released three-layered level seven soul tool shield and a three-second passively triggered invincible shield. I named that light blue cicada wing 'Azure Sky Wings.' It's a level seven flying soul tool that can reduce soul power consumption by half while increasing flight speed by three times, but it requires at least the strength of a Soul Master to use. Rather than me using it myself, it's faster for you to fly here with me."
"The last item is a level seven melee soul tool, the Xuanlong Ruler. Its only effect is to amplify attack power by 100%, which is released in the form of a light blade. It can attack at a maximum distance of 150 meters, somewhat like a long-range soul tool, but it has the advantage of being flexible."
After briefly introducing the soul tools to Zhang Lexuan, Huo Yuhao turned his back, showing no intention of peeking.
Zhang Lexuan stared blankly at Huo Yuhao, then gently unbuttoned her outer garment and put the Xuan Yin Heart-Protecting Mirror against her chest.
After a few rustling sounds of dressing, Zhang Lexuan quietly walked up behind Huo Yuhao and patted him on the shoulder.
"I'm all ready here. Shall we set off now, or continue waiting for Elder Xuan?"
Huo Yuhao stood up, turned around and saw the gentle and beautiful woman coughing a little embarrassedly, saying, "Shall we go first? Doesn't Sister Lexuan have the inner courtyard's contact methods? Elder Xuan shouldn't have a hard time finding us then."
"Sister Le Xuan?" Huo Yuhao's constant use of this term vaguely reminded Zhang Le Xuan of someone.
But they are still different in the end.
Zhang Lexuan shook her head and smiled, "Then let's go, we won't wait any longer. The sooner we help you get your soul ring, the sooner we can leave this place."
As she spoke, Zhang Lexuan turned her back and took two steps, stretching lazily, instantly revealing her slender figure. Because she was wearing a breastplate underneath, her original clothes appeared somewhat bulky, causing the fabric around her waist to flutter slightly, revealing glimpses of her fair skin.
