Chapter 247: Huo Yuhao: “holy Crap, Yuan Hua?!”
Dai Ying asked hesitantly:
“Really?”
“Father really won’t blame me?”
Huo Yuhao patted the shoulder of the girl in front of him and said:
“As long as that guy didn’t kneel very thoroughly, he won’t say it directly, because in your time-space, Tang San is still around.”
“But he will definitely give you a hug.”
“And then silently feel proud of you in his heart.”
What a joke, Huo Yuhao could swear that the “Huo Yuhao” who personally experienced the ultimate insult in Qiankun Valley of Love and Inquiry would feel a hundred times more refreshed hearing his obedient daughter plant a clever landmine for Tang San in the Peerless Tang Sect Period than doing that deed.
If he could personally see Tang San’s divine soul explode from his obedient daughter, he might faint from excitement on the spot.
Looking at the black-haired girl in front of him, Huo Yuhao realized he was wrong; this child was no naturally evil Dai family brat, this was a genuine Huo family descendant!
She has the surname Dai, it must be that damned Tang Buddha’s coercion! Huo Yuhao didn’t care about the details and directly shifted the blame to Tang Buddha; he already had so many pots on his back, one more or one less made no difference.
Thinking about how he had beaten the girl in front of him before, Huo Yuhao would want to slap himself awake even in the middle of the night.
A relieved smile appeared on Dai Ying’s face; she believed that Father in that time-space should think similarly.
Huo Zhanji nearby was somewhat confused because of the space teleportation; he couldn’t hear what his sister said to Father in this time-space.
But seeing Father pat his sister’s shoulder with a relieved look, he figured it should be something good.
The space teleportation was quick, and as the surrounding scenery reconnected, Bai Xiuxiu widened her deep blue eyes.
This was her first time coming to a human city, and it was Star Luo City right in the middle of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament.
“Wow! So many people!”
“Is this the human world?”
“It’s completely different from what I saw on the Magic Net!”
Most of the places Bai Xiuxiu saw on the Magic Net were pictures posted by people from remote cities.
Huo Yuhao patted the little shark’s head and said:
“A relatively backward city.”
“From buildings to institutional management, everything is inefficient to the point of outrage.”
“You’ll know what advanced and prosperous really means once you go to the Heaven Dou Plain side.”
The current Heaven Dou Plain was like another world compared to other places.
With Xilu City as the core of soul tool industry, it supplied large quantities of cheap soul tools to other cities on the Heaven Dou Plain.
These cities had long fallen into Enthusiasm’s hands; from the City Lord’s Mansion to the gate guards, they were all Enthusiasm’s people.
The Enthusiasm cadres in these cities closely followed Xilu City’s pace to complete various reforms; schools, factories, malls, etc., were all built up.
The entire Heaven Dou Plain’s development was like it had flying soul tools installed, taking off directly.
Merchants coming to the Heaven Dou Plain for goods were all dazzled by the various novel things; compared to any city on the Heaven Dou Plain, Heaven Dou City looked like the countryside.
The rapidly growing economy and prosperous soul tools attracted large numbers of Heaven Soul Empire civilians to move there with their families, and because of Shrek Academy’s reputation, many soul masters also chose to come to the Heaven Dou Plain.
Half of Heaven Soul Empire’s population was now concentrated on the Heaven Dou Plain.
They had lost all control over this half of the population.
Earlier, Heaven Soul Empire’s ministers had said that if they didn’t control it, the Heaven Dou Plain would directly split from Heaven Soul Empire.
The Heaven Dou Plain now nominally belonged to Heaven Soul Empire, but in reality, it had long belonged to someone else!
Heaven Soul Empire could only watch the extremely developed economy on the Heaven Dou Plain and drool, yet be unable to do anything, like an impotent husband watching his wife send money to another man.
A place that had completely detached from itself in economy, politics, and military was just one sentence away from independence.
Heaven Soul Empire had thought of changing the status quo and planned to join forces with Body Sect to regain some control over the Heaven Dou Plain, but just as they were about to act, they encountered Dragon God Douluo and Dragon Emperor Douluo coming together to warn the Heaven Soul imperial family.
The two Limit Douluo immediately made Heaven Soul Empire’s Emperor face reality; even with Body Sect’s backing, they absolutely couldn’t match the two Limit Douluo.
No matter how strong Du Busi was, he wouldn’t be a match for the Light and Dark Dual Holy Dragons.
In a one-on-one fight, the crippled Mu En might struggle a bit, but Long Xiaoyao was at his peak.
Bai Xiuxiu said with a shocked expression:
“So the human world has even more amazing cities?”
“Land is way more interesting than the ocean.”
Huo Yuhao then tossed Bai Xiuxiu a bracelet and a necklace and said:
“Keep these two things on you at all times.”
“This is an alchemy aura-blocking bracelet that can perfectly shield your hundred thousand year soul beast shapeshifting aura.”
“You can fight casually without issue; no one can see through your true form.”
“The necklace next to it is similar; wear it around your neck to prevent any mishaps.”
“Two shielding items, more assurance.”
“In Star Luo City this time, Titled Douluo are as common as stray dogs by the roadside.”
“You could probably grab one from any street.”
Bai Xiuxiu took the bracelet and necklace, carefully put them on, and said:
“Thank you, great good person.”
Huo Yuhao looked at her amusedly and said:
“How come you’re not calling me great bad guy at a time like this?”
“Harsh shark, you’re good at changing faces.”
Bai Xiuxiu’s ear tips turned slightly red, and she made a funny face at Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao smiled and ruffled her little head, messing up her smooth deep blue long hair, making her pout her mouth.
“Let’s go, I’ll take you to eat something.”
Everyone nodded together, and Huo Yuhao thought for a moment and decided to take them to find a restaurant near Star Luo Plaza.
That area was the core of Star Luo City, so logically the city’s economic center, and shouldn’t lack eateries.
Huo Zhanji looked at the crowded crowds around and the magnificent imperial palace in the distance, unable to help sighing in amazement.
Back when they first time-space traveled, they had come to Star Luo City once, but at that time they were eager to reunite with Dai Ying and didn’t pay much attention here.
Now looking at it, it really was full of historical depth; many architectural techniques had long been lost in their time-space.
In his time-space, this Star Luo City in front of him had been completely destroyed during the Federal Unification War.
The Star Luo City he knew was newly built by Star Luo Empire remnants on another continent.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao suddenly spotted a familiar face; he approached with Dai Ying and the others, patted the other’s shoulder, and said:
“Damn, Yuan… Roman?”
“It’s only been a few days?”
“How did you end up like this?!”
Roman was now sitting on the curb, holding a book in his hand, his hair somewhat messy and disheveled.
He looked at Huo Yuhao, his eyes lighting up like he’d seen a savior, and hugged Huo Yuhao’s leg as he said:
“Boss!!”
“I missed you so much.”
Huo Yuhao asked him in shock:
“No way?”
“I remember giving you a pretty good salary, right?”
“I even gave you a bunch of quarterly bonuses; not saying it made you old money, but at least it should let you live very affluently, right?”
Roman said somewhat embarrassedly:
“Here’s the thing: a while ago, Meili Jiang specially added me as a friend on the Magic Net and asked me to lend her money.”
“I think I lent it all out.”
“Only when I got here did I realize I had no money left.”
“And Star Luo City’s prices are really expensive!”
Huo Yuhao made an old man staring at his phone face and said:
“Are you sure that was Meili’s Magic Net account?”
Roman nodded like a pecking chick, saying affirmatively:
“Absolutely Meili!”
“I guarantee it! She even sent me pictures!”
Huo Yuhao said suspiciously:
“Pull up her Magic Net account for me; let me see what’s going on.”
Roman opened the Magic Net and pulled up Meili’s Magic Net account.
The profile picture was indeed Meili, and the tone in the chat record seemed like her too.
Huo Yuhao glanced at the Magic Net account serial code, used highest privileges to check the registrant, and then couldn’t hold it in.
The registrant for this Meili account was a man with a smile on his face, wearing a pointed black soft hat, and a signature monocle over his right eye.
It was none other than Amon.
