People in Douluo, the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 83 83. Dai Yuhao never became a true nobleman
"My daughter comes from a humble background and doesn't know much about the things that noble ladies like, so I made some snacks by myself and wanted to give them to my mother as a small token of my appreciation."

As she spoke, Dai Ying slowly stood up, bowed slightly to Xu Lin, then took the two boxes of snacks from Huo Yuhao's hand and raised them above her head calmly.

After all, Dai Ying worked as a receptionist at the Starlight Hotel. After receiving training, her etiquette was at least acceptable, if not absolutely standard.

Alas! In the end, it was Dai Ying who took on everything. Unlike Huo Yuhao, he only knew how to revive the Tang Sect and maintain the glory of Shrek Academy. He didn't understand the socializing among the nobles at all.

"You are so thoughtful." A long-lost smile appeared on Xu Lin's face. She quickly waved her hand and asked the maid to hand over the lunch box containing snacks. Then she grabbed a piece of oil paper, used it to pad her hand, picked up a piece of snack, put it to her mouth and took a small bite.

"Hmm... sweet, tender, and not greasy. Come on, Ying'er, pass it out, one piece per person. Let the sisters have a taste too."

The mistress of the house had spoken, so who among the women dared to disobey? From the moment she received the snacks, words of praise echoed throughout the pavilion, and Huo Yuhao felt so embarrassed after hearing them.

He had eaten the dim sum made by Dai Ying before. It was delicious, but it was far inferior to the dim sum made by the top chefs of the Starlight Hotel. These women in the backyard were pampered and had eaten all kinds of delicacies from land and sea. How could such ordinary dim sum be in their eyes?

There's nothing we can do about it. Human hearts are just like this. They want to improve themselves so much that, let alone snacks, even a box of rice will be praised by them as delicacies from the mountains and the sea.

After some polite exchanges, Dai Ying did not forget their purpose. She stood up hastily, pretending to be embarrassed, and bowed in the direction of Xu Lin, saying, "Mother, we have something to ask our eldest brother (Dai Yueheng). What do you think..."

Xu Lin nodded and said, "Ying'er, I leave it to you."

“Yes, ma’am.” Ying’er moved lightly and came in front of Huo Yuhao and the others. She gestured to the exit of the pavilion and said, “Second Miss, Master, please follow me.”

……

The scene changed to the back garden of the Duke's Mansion. Dai Yueheng, dressed in white, was practicing swordsmanship with a blonde girl. The moment they saw Huo Yuhao and the other person coming, the brother and sister hurriedly put away their swords and invited them to sit down at the stone table.

Through the conversation, we learned that the blonde girl was named Dai Ruoxi, one year older than Huo Yuhao. She was born a concubine's daughter, and later awakened the Evil Eyed White Tiger Martial Spirit and was adopted by the Duchess.

This is how the Douluo World works. The nobles rely on inheritance, while the lower class rely on mutation. After the demise of the Spirit Hall, the only promotion channel for the lower class civilians was gone.

"Sister, brother-in-law, you are from humble backgrounds, so you must have never eaten canned fruit, right? Come, try it."

As he spoke, Dai Yueheng took out four sets of disposable bowls and chopsticks, as well as four earthenware jars from his storage ring. He removed the mud seals on the mouths of the jars and opened the lids. Instantly, a strong fruity aroma filled his face.

Dai Yueheng poured the canned yellow peaches in syrup from the clay jar into the bowls of Huo Yuhao and Dai Ying, and made a gesture, asking them to taste it.

The peaches were very crisp, and the unique aroma of the fruit was completely integrated into the syrup. After taking a sip, an indescribable feeling of comfort surged into the two's hearts.

Is this... the real aristocratic life?
For a moment, Huo Yuhao's face looked a little bad. Seeing this scene, he finally understood a truth... Becoming a god is not the same as becoming a noble! Nobility is not a symbol of strength, but a symbol of power and material life. Compared with canned fruit, tens of thousands of years of life as a god seems a bit boring.

“The dance in the palm ends, the sound of the flute stops, and the autumn night in the thirty-six palaces is long.” He! Huo Yuhao! He also wants to enjoy the life of an emperor in the mortal world!

In his previous life, Dai Yuhao never became a true nobleman!

Seeing that Huo Yuhao was a little unhappy, Dai Yueheng hurriedly asked: "Brother-in-law, what's wrong? If peaches don't suit your taste, I have other kinds of canned fruits here."

"No, no, it's not that it doesn't suit my taste. It's just that this is the first time I've eaten such delicious food, and I was distracted for a moment."

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao picked up the chopsticks and ate the canned food in the bowl frantically. Such delicious syrup, such crispy peaches, this canned food must have been very expensive, right?

Huo Yuhao didn’t know that the peaches were just ordinary peaches, and the white sugar used to make the canned syrup was just white sugar that could be found everywhere. The cost of the entire production process, including the labor costs, was less than one Silver Soul Coin, and was not even as valuable as a clay pot.

After finishing the canned food, Dai Ruoxi left tactfully. In the huge back garden, apart from some maids, only Dai Yueheng, Huo Yuhao and Dai Ying were left.

"Tell me, is it because Ma Xiaotao is too embarrassed to ask you to come here to lobby for me to return to the Shrek team?" After dismissing the maid, Dai Yueheng spoke slowly.

Huo Yuhao scratched his head and said with an embarrassed look: “Brother, to be honest, after you left, I did persuade Senior Sister Xiaotao... and asked her to bring the Shrek team to invite you back. In the end, she beat me up.”

Dai Yueheng said helplessly: "It's natural. Even though Captain Xiaotao is a woman, her ambition is no less than any man. Even I am ashamed of myself. You want her to admit her mistakes in front of everyone in the Shrek team. This is simply impossible to do."

“Xiao Tao…Captain?” Huo Yuhao asked in surprise, “Brother, don’t you hate Senior Sister Xiao Tao?”

"Holding a grudge? Why would you hold a grudge against her?" Dai Yueheng said expressionlessly, "It's just human nature. If you have some capital, you will definitely fight for the Qiankun Creation Pill. I, Dai Yueheng, won't be so petty as to quibble over such a small matter."

Huo Yuhao asked curiously: "Brother, if you don't care, then why did you return to the Duke's Mansion instead of returning to the Starlight Hotel?"

"One condition!" Dai Yueheng said solemnly, "I can return to the Shrek team and participate in the next game. In exchange, I will join the Tang Sect, take up an important position, and enjoy the same treatment as you seven people."

"You have also seen that the Xingluo Empire is in danger of collapse. I want to seek a way out for the White Tiger lineage. After much thought... I think your Tang Sect is the most suitable."

Dai Yueheng was afraid that Huo Yuhao might not understand, so he deliberately did not use too many obscure words.

After thinking for a moment, Huo Yuhao finally... nodded. From then on, Dai Yueheng successfully became a member of the Tang Sect.
