Chapter 85 Haoqiu's Encounter
A forced smile appeared on Man Yi's aged face. "This kid, I must say, is he really worthy of being Dai Hao's son? So young and already so shrewd..."
After a long while, she shook her head. "Grandma Manyi, he's much better than that bastard Dai Hao... To be honest, I'm actually curious to see what kind of expression Dai Hao will have when he finds out that Huo Yuhao is his son."
"...Jiujiu, you're a smart girl," Manyi sighed softly. "You should be able to figure out how we can benefit the most in the power struggle between Huo Yuhao and Dai Hao, but why did you?"
He remained silent for a long time, then nervously smoothed his hair.
Man Yi looked at her with a half-smile and said, "This kid is good-looking, but he's quite a bit younger than you..."
Xu Jiujiu blushed and said, "Grandma Manyi, what are you saying? It was my brother who had already decided that we should try our best to build a good relationship with him and never make enemies with him, that's why...that's why I did this, okay..."
Man Yi laughed even harder, "Okay, okay...you're right..."
……
Looking at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, Huo Yuhao murmured, "It's already evening..."
Thinking this, Huo Yuhao slowly walked down the street, gazing at the brightly lit Xingluo City.
It's been a long time since I've gone out to Xingluo City at night. Looking back, time really flies! Three months have passed in the blink of an eye.
It's time to go home... Thinking this, Huo Yuhao walked north.
Just then, a small figure slowly walked towards them from the roadside.
She looked very relaxed, taking a leisurely stroll while enjoying the scenery.
As if guided by something, Huo Yuhao suddenly looked to his side and behind him.
She was a young girl dressed in a white outfit, with long blue and gold hair that cascaded down like a waterfall. Although her face was veiled, one could tell from her beautiful, ruby-like eyes what an absolute beauty she was.
The girl seemed to be wandering aimlessly, her light steps and the crisp sound of her high heels on the quiet street were particularly clear. Occasionally, she would raise her hand to tuck a stray strand of hair behind her ear, the moonlight playing on her long hair and scattering pure white particles into the air, her movements so elegant as if they had been carefully rehearsed.
"!!!"
Huo Yuhao's eyes widened, his breath hitched, and he felt as if he had been hit hard with a hammer.
"Oh my god! So beautiful..."
The girl looked a little older than him; although she was young, she already had a mature and sophisticated air about her.
Most importantly, every part of this girl perfectly matched his aesthetic! It's incredible, she seemed to be perfectly shaped to fit Huo Yuhao's aesthetic, making it hard for him not to like her.
Instinctively, Huo Yuhao swallowed hard, looking like a lecherous pig.
He never imagined that he would one day have a son with a small head and a father with a big head.
If Huo Yuhao had some feelings for Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao, then the moment he saw this girl, he truly realized he was in love...
What to do? What to do?
Should I go up and strike up a conversation? But I have no experience with that...
Huo Yuhao thought anxiously, but as the girl got closer and closer, his heart began to beat faster.
No... wait... why is she walking straight towards me?
Instinctively, Huo Yuhao tugged at his clothes, trying to tidy his appearance.
"Huo Yuhao".
The voice was completely pure, like water melted from ice and snow, carrying a clear, sweet scent, yet with a hint of coldness.
Huo Yuhao pointed to himself in surprise, "Hey, you know me?"
The girl blinked, and a faint rose-gold vertical eye appeared on her forehead.
"!!!"
Huo Yuhao immediately lost his composure and shouted loudly, "Ah! Ah! Ah!"
"...It's you! The Imperial Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion!"
The girl put her hands on her hips, snorted, and glared at him with an eye roll that seemed to say, "Are you an idiot?"
"Yes, speak louder so everyone can hear you."
Huo Yuhao then realized what had happened, quickly covered his mouth, looked around, and whispered, "Yes...yes, I'm sorry."
"But, I... I'm talking about you..." Huo Yuhao then grabbed Long Qiu'er's hand and quickly walked to a street corner. Looking around to make sure no one was watching, he whispered, "How dare you transform and leave the Star Dou Great Forest like this! There are quite a few Title Douluos in Star Luo City!"
A 100,000-year-old soul beast transforming into a human is, in the eyes of a Title Douluo, simply a walking maze of gifts. A 100,000-year-old soul ring cannot be absorbed, but a 100,000-year-old soul bone can.
Given the importance of the Imperial Beast to the Star Dou Great Forest, if something were to happen to it while it's on the human side, then...
The girl waved her hand. "It's nothing. If I didn't have some skills, I wouldn't be able to survive in the Star Dou Great Forest. Even your human Limit Douluo wouldn't be able to see through my identity."
Huo Yuhao looked her up and down, then asked uncertainly, "Are you really alright?"
The girl rolled her eyes helplessly, then casually took out a black dragon scale from her chest and waved it in front of Huo Yuhao. "I have this on me."
Huo Yuhao recognized what it was.
The Black Dragon's Reverse Scale... I guess it belongs to Di Tian, then there's really nothing to worry about.
The girl glanced at the area beneath them, her voice trembling slightly, "Can you loosen your grip now?"
"Oh..." Huo Yuhao reluctantly released the girl's soft, delicate hand. "Oh, right, I... I haven't asked you what your human name is yet?"
The girl cleared her throat. "You can call me Long Qiu'er now. After all, it's better to keep a low profile since I'm training outside as a human."
"Your face doesn't look like it's meant to be low-key..." Huo Yuhao thought to himself helplessly.
"Then... Miss Long Qiu'er, what's wrong...?"
She glanced at Huo Yuhao sideways and said calmly, "I have your memories, so I came here to examine you and see how the human world has developed."
Huo Yuhao was taken aback. "An investigation? Uh... what kind of investigation specifically?"
"The contract you made with the giant worm and the giant tortoise before was called... I mean, a soul spirit, right? I heard everything you talked about with the Lord, so I wanted to come and make contact with you to see how the soul spirit contract is progressing."
Looking at the breathtakingly beautiful girl before him, Huo Yuhao felt, for some reason, that her words sounded a little strange…
Long Qiu'er didn't look at Huo Yuhao, but turned to look east. "I know you have no ill intentions towards our clan, and we are willing to treat you as a friend, but there are some things about our soul beast clan that you cannot know for the time being."
