Tang Nian narrowed her eyes. She was not the kind of person who would betray her friends.

She could feel that Shi Ye was not a bad person, and even though he knew Xiao Wu's true identity, he did not cause any harm to Xiao Wu.

Although they have not known each other for long, Tang Nian already truly regards Shi Ye as his friend.

So she turned her head resolutely without saying a word.

Dugu Bo looked at her determined expression and seemed to understand that she would not reveal any information, so he smiled faintly and stopped asking questions.

Time passed quickly and dawn came in the blink of an eye.

The summer sun was so scorching that the air in the forest seemed to be trembling slightly as if being baked. Heat rose from the ground, making the scenery in the distance distorted and blurred.

Tang Nian felt that if he continued to be exposed to the sun like this, he would be burned to death sooner or later.

She rolled her eyes helplessly at Dugu Bo who was meditating with his eyes closed beside her.

It’s so annoying. I could have been enjoying my life, but I have to suffer with this old man.

She stood up and decided not to pay any attention to Dugu Bo standing beside her. She walked to a big tree alone and sat under its shade.

Only in this shady place could she feel a hint of coolness, and her mood became slightly better.

Tang Nian sat for a while and felt a little hungry.

She used her soul power to sense her surroundings and found a river not far away. She swallowed and stole a glance at Dugu Bo who had his eyes closed.

In the end, hunger overcame everything. She was not running away. Everything she did was to fill her stomach. Tang Nian tiptoed to the river, where fish were swimming happily.

The best way at this moment is to use soul skills to catch the fish, but Dugu Bo is not far away. With the strength of a Titled Douluo, as long as she releases her soul ring, the existence of the hundred thousand year soul ring will be detected.

Tang Nian narrowed his eyes, took out a dagger from the storage ring, sharpened the wooden stick beside him, then took off his shoes and went into the river.

The river water was crystal clear, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds. The fish were swimming freely and jumping happily in the water. Tang Nian stood in the middle of the river, holding a wooden stick, staring at the water intently.

Suddenly, a big fish swam over, and Tang Nian quickly swung the wooden stick and pierced several of them accurately.

After catching five fish, Tang Nian threw them onto the shore. The fish could not be kept for a long time in summer, but it was a waste of time to catch a fish. This was the food Tang Nian caught for himself today.

After gutting the fish, she built a fire and roasted it.

Having lived in the forest with Tang Hao for a while, she was already quite familiar with it and could ensure that she would not starve. She even kept seasonings in her storage ring, which came in handy today.

The tempting aroma of grilled fish gradually spread.

Tang Nian's stomach had been rumbling for a long time, so he picked up a piece of hot grilled fish and put it into his mouth.

Tang Nian was eating happily when she felt someone pat her shoulder.

There were only two of them in the forest, except Dugu Bo. Tang Nian rolled his eyes, put the last bite of grilled fish into his mouth, and looked back.

Sure enough, it was Dugu Bo.

"How come you, little girl, don't even know how to respect the elderly and love the young? You are hiding here eating alone."

Dugu Bo was sitting there practicing just now and heard the noise of Tang Nian leaving, but when he thought about how Tang San was still in his hands, and how the relationship between the two siblings was obviously good, he would definitely not sneak away like that.

There was another reason. Dugu Bo didn't think that a level 50 Soul King could escape under the nose of a Titled Douluo like him, so he ignored it.

But unexpectedly, after a while, Dugu Bo actually smelled the aroma of grilled fish. She guessed that it was Tang Nian who made it, so she came over following the smell.

When he came over to take a look, he found that his guess was correct.

Tang Nian frowned, "Why, you are a Title Douluo-level warrior, but you are short of a grilled fish? Can't you grill it yourself?"

Tang Nian didn't like Dugu Bo who had captured her and Tang San together, so naturally she wouldn't treat him well.

Dugu Bo's green eyes gleamed, "Don't forget, your brother is still in my hands."

Tang Nian glared at Dugu Bo angrily, but in the end he still handed the other grilled fish to Dugu Bo without complaint.

Dugu Bo took it, put it under his nose and smelled it, then exclaimed, "You little girl have quite a good cooking skill." After that, he sat down next to Tang Nian and started eating.

Tang Nian had just eaten one and was not full at all. The one that Dugu Bo was eating was originally the one she prepared for herself.

She glared at Dugu Bo hatefully and started roasting again. However, Dugu Bo seemed to be unaware of everything and just kept eating.

"It tastes really good. Grill a few more for me."

Tang Nian paused for a moment, then sprinkled half a bottle of seasoning on a grilled fish.

Eat it, it won’t kill you if you eat too much salt.

Dugu Bo saw Tang Nian's movements from the corner of his eye, and a smile flashed across his eyes. "You little girl still haven't released your martial spirit. I'm a little curious about what your martial spirit is."

Dugu Bo paused and thought for a while before saying, "Your brother's is Blue Silver Grass, so yours is not Blue Silver Grass as well, right?"

Tang Nian snorted coldly, "What's wrong with the blue silver grass?"

Dugu Bo shook his head helplessly, "Blue Silver Grass is also a famous useless martial soul. With your brother's talent, if this martial soul was not Blue Silver Grass, but a more powerful martial soul, he would be more powerful than it is now."

Tang Nian looked at Dugu Bo with disdain and said, "You are a Titled Douluo. There are no useless spirits, only useless spirit masters. You don't even understand such a simple truth."

"There are no useless martial spirits, only useless spirit masters?" Dugu Bo muttered a few words, with a hint of doubt and thought on his face, but he finally shook his head, indicating that he did not agree with Tang Nian's words.

His eyes revealed a kind of stubbornness and determination, and he seemed to have his own unique understanding of martial spirits.

"Tell me, what is your martial spirit?"

Tang Nian was well aware of the power of the Titled Douluo in front of him. If he pressed him to the bottom of the matter, he would probably not be able to keep the secret of his spirit ring.

After all, facing such a strong man, all her methods seemed small and powerless.

Tang Nian frowned slightly, thinking that she couldn't let Dugu Bo continue asking questions, so she decided to take the initiative to speak and change the subject to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

"My martial soul is the red spider lily." Tang Nian said softly, with a hint of caution in her voice. She hoped to satisfy Dugu Bo's curiosity by revealing some information while protecting her own secrets.

"Higanbana?" Dugu Bo's expression changed slightly when he heard the name of his martial spirit said by Tang Nian. The movement of his hands suddenly stopped. He stared at Tang Nian closely, with a hint of surprise and curiosity in his eyes.
