Chapter 19 Arrangements for Xiao Huo

With a warm feeling in his heart, he said:
"My name is Huo Yuhao. Thank you for saving me from the soul beast. I didn't know the Star Dou Great Forest was so dangerous, so I came here alone."

After saying this, some hesitation appeared on his face, but he soon became firm.

Then he took out a sheathed dagger from his waist and a shriveled purse from his bosom.

He reluctantly stood up, bowed deeply to Zhou Ke and the others, and continued:
“I don’t have much money on me, only five Gintama coins left, but this short sword is very sharp and should be worth some money.

Brother Zhou, I cannot repay you for saving my life, so please accept these!"

Although I am reluctant to give away my mother's beloved things, she often taught me to be grateful when she was alive.

Seeing how sincere he was, Zhou Ke felt a little embarrassed and could only sigh in his heart: It is the best time to win over Huo Gua right now. He even needs to do more and just show some goodwill appropriately.

Although he was not a good person, he did not have the evil taste to pit others to death. Moreover, he still felt a little guilty for taking the opportunity that originally belonged to others.

A blue light flashed in his hand, and a thin green vine flew out and swept away the purse in Huo Yuhao's hand.

He shook his purse twice and said:
"I'll take the money, but I'll leave the dagger to you for self-defense. If you encounter a soul beast, at least you'll have a chance to fight back."

It was the first time for Huo Yuhao to see someone use their martial spirit at such a close distance, and he couldn't help but feel envious.

At the same time, he felt a little guilty that Zhou Ke only accepted the five silver soul coins. Although the money was saved with hard work over the years, it was not easy to repay the life-saving grace.

Seeing that he seemed to want to say something, Zhou Ke felt a little confused, so he pointed to the grilled fish on the fire in front of him and said:

"You have been unconscious for more than a day, you must be hungry, come and eat something."

Huo Yuhao’s stomach growled twice in unison, causing his face to turn red.

However, he seldom interacted with strangers, so he felt shy and timid when faced with the invitation.

The old butler already knew that the young master intended to win over this little ghost who didn't even have a spirit ring, so he acted as the villain and said:

"You are so hesitant, aren't you worried that we have poisoned them?"

Huo Yuhao's face turned even redder, and he quickly said:
"Senior, I'm not worried about that."

The old butler interrupted him:

"Then come and sit over here. What I hate most is cowards like you."

Huo Yuhao hurriedly approached and thanked Zhou Ke who handed him the grilled fish before taking it.

Maybe it was the old butler's words, or maybe he was really hungry.

Anyway, he took the grilled fish and ate it voraciously.

A big fish as wide as a palm and as long as an ordinary person's arm was eaten up by him in a short while.

The grease marks on his mouth and the bruises on his body made him look very funny.

After chewing all the fish bones, Huo Yuhao looked at the old butler cautiously.

The old butler glared back at him and snorted:

"Why don't you do this earlier? As a man, you should be straightforward when you need to be straightforward. There's no need to be so nagging!"

Due to his special growing environment, Huo Yuhao is very sensitive to emotions.

The old butler's words and tone seemed vicious, but he did not sense any malice in them, so he said to the old butler respectfully:
"Senior taught me a lesson."

"If you're not full, keep eating. Are you waiting for me and the young master to treat you again?" Zhou Ke also said:
"Eat it. It's all from the river. It's not precious."

Huo Yuhao then hurriedly picked up a fish from the grill.

That one piece would definitely be enough for an ordinary person, but he was a tenth-level soul warrior, had been hungry for a long time, and rarely saw meat, so he did have the ability to eat a second piece.

At this time, the old housekeeper got up and went to the bathroom far away.

After he walked away, Zhou Ke smiled and said:

"Uncle De has an impatient temper. He can't stand others' hesitation on small matters. He's not targeting you, so don't take it personally."

Huo Yuhao shook his head repeatedly and said sincerely:
"The senior is teaching me the principles of life, how could I take this matter to heart?"

"That's good if you think so."

The two of them fell silent for a while, leaving only the crackling of firewood and the sound of chewing fish.

In fact, Zhou Ke had plenty of topics to talk about, but he didn't need to be too proactive.

After a while, Huo Yuhao went through some psychological struggles and spoke first:

"Brother Zhou, is the vine in your hand just now your martial spirit?"

Zhou Ke nodded and replied casually:
"Yes, my martial soul is Azure Ivy, a plant-based martial soul. What about you?"

His current Blue Silver King martial soul is completely different from the original ordinary blue silver grass in appearance. Instead, it is somewhat similar to the top-level plant-type martial soul, Azure Ivy.

If he told others that it was blue silver grass, no one would believe him, and it might also attract unnecessary attention. He didn't need to pretend to be pitiful by doing this, so it would be best if he could avoid trouble.

Huo Yuhao pointed at his eyes and said in a low voice:

"My martial soul is my eyes. Mom said it is a mutated martial soul. Because it is of spiritual attribute, I named it Spirit Eyes."

Silly boy, what are you missing? This is a rare martial spirit that includes two body parts, and it is also a rare spiritual attribute.

Although your cultivation talent and innate soul power are very poor, these can be improved through acquired means.

If the Body Sect knew of your existence, they would definitely take you back happily.

Zhou Ke muttered a few words in his mind, but he did not plan to sell Huo Yuhao to the Body Sect as a favor right now.

The first was that he didn't know where the Body Sect, which had been hidden for a hundred years, was, and the second was that he hadn't yet won over Huo Yuhao.

The foundation for Huo Yuhao's current rise was taken away by him, but that doesn't mean he has become worthless.

Moreover, the cost of winning over this guy is extremely low.

For example, get him a first soul ring, and then pay his tuition for the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.

With such a simple effort, he can gain a younger brother who has a certain chance of becoming a Titled Douluo in the future.

Maybe by that time, he would no longer need this thing, but giving him a hand could make up for the little guilt in Zhou Ke's heart.

He pretended to be surprised and said:

"An eye spirit, or a spiritual one. I know a good place that needs a spirit master like you."

“Ah?” Huo Yuhao looked at Zhou Ke in disbelief. He had always believed that his martial soul was a useless martial soul. Apart from enhancing his eyesight, he could not imagine that the eye martial soul could have any of the four abilities of attack, control, defense, and assistance.

You can't just stare at the other person with shining eyes to death, right?
