Chapter 9 Tang Ya
In Shrek City, the most prosperous place is undoubtedly the East City, where Shrek Academy is located.

In the Douluo Continent, Soul Masters are the main consumers, and their daily expenses are unimaginable to ordinary people.

After half an hour, Huo Yuhao finally arrived at the East City Market, which was the place where Huo sold succubus grilled fish in the original novel.

It's a pity that the little girl was still tidying up the new house with Huo Yun'er at the time, otherwise she could have replicated the move.

Looking at the snack street in the distance, Huo Yuhao put these strange thoughts out of his mind and turned his gaze to another place.

Although it's called a market, it's actually a huge market. The food street only takes up a small part of it, while the rest of the area is used to sell items related to Soul Masters.

Among them was Huo Yuhao's target for this trip - the Soul Beast!

Of course, the quality of the goods in the market was incomparable to that of the Treasure Pavilion that Huo had visited.

The latter has the backing of the Grand Elder of the Sea God Pavilion, and who knows how many treasures it holds.

However, Huo Yuhao's target level for this trip is not high, and an ordinary market can meet his needs perfectly.

Arriving at a stall selling small soul beasts, Huo Yuhao bent down and examined the soul beasts in the cages with great interest.

To be honest, this was the first time he had ever seen a soul beast.

Previously, when driving a carriage on the official road, we never saw any spirit beasts along the way. Later, when we traveled with Zhang Hu, ordinary spirit beasts would run away as fast as they could, so why would they be stupid enough to come and die?

Seeing Huo Yuhao, a mere child, lingering in front of the stall, the stall owner's face darkened. He was about to get angry, but seeing the fine workmanship of Huo Yuhao's clothes, which suggested he wasn't from an ordinary family, he had to suppress his impatience and put on a gentle smile, saying:

"Which spirit beast has taken a fancy to, young master?"

"These soul beasts are all cubs, they're not aggressive at all, they'd be perfect to buy as pets!"

Upon hearing the stall owner's words, Huo Yuhao looked at the small beasts in the cage, and sure enough, they were all cute-looking soul beasts.

Although I don't recognize it, the vendor is selling it so casually that it probably isn't some powerful spirit beast.

After a careful inspection, it was found that there was no case of a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear cub disguised as another soul beast; what was being sold here were just ordinary soul beasts.

However, this kind of soul beast is better, because he is not sure what will happen in the experiment later.

After thinking for a moment, Huo Yuhao pointed to the iron cage beneath him and said:

"I want this rabbit, this bird, and this snake..."

The vendor's smile deepened as he realized Huo Yuhao hadn't even asked the price.

From Huo Yuhao's tone, he could tell that the boy in front of him knew nothing about soul beasts.

Such people are either ordinary people who know nothing, or spoiled brats who indulge in eating, drinking, and having fun.

Judging from his clothes, he was clearly not a commoner, so it could only be the latter!

It's good to be a playboy; that's the kind of person who gets rich!

He deftly grabbed the three small beasts that Huo Yuhao pointed out, skillfully packed them up, and then handed them to Huo Yuhao:
"Young master, here you have a total of one hundred and ten gold soul coins. I'll accept one hundred gold soul coins from you!"

Looking at the smile on the stall owner's face, Huo Yuhao knew he had definitely been ripped off.

Fortunately, he didn't value gold soul coins much, so he wasn't bothered by it.

A mere hundred gold soul coins, I'll give them away. As long as the experiment succeeds, it's nothing.

Huo Yuhao nodded and was about to take money from the soul tool at his waist when a delicate voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Hey, you idiot, you've been ripped off!"

"The Soft-Boned Rabbit, the Wind Shadow Bird, and that Emerald Serpent, together they cost at most fifty gold soul coins!"

Huo Yuhao's outstretched hand was interrupted by a sudden sound. He turned around curiously and saw a girl about his height standing behind him.

Her long black hair was styled into a ponytail and hung down her back. Her light blue outfit accentuated her youthful figure, making her look like a budding flower.

She has almond-shaped eyes, large and bright, a straight nose, and a nearly perfect oval face. Her beautiful face is not flawless, but it has a kind of refined and elegant charm.

Upon seeing the girl's appearance, Huo Yuhao was somewhat lost in thought. Fortunately, having been accustomed to Huo Yun'er's stunning beauty and Xiao Yutong's cuteness, he had a great resistance to beauty and quickly regained his senses.

However, Huo Yuhao was somewhat puzzled after waking up.

Who is this girl? Does she know me?

Or was she simply speaking out out of kindness and a sense of justice?

The stall owner, seeing a little girl suddenly jump out and disrupt things, fearing he'd lose the sale, darkened his face and shouted angrily:
"Little brat, what business is it of yours what other people buy?"

"You think this young master is lacking in this aspect?"

"Aren't you right?"

As they spoke, the stall owner didn't forget to give Huo Yuhao a hand.

If it were just an ordinary child, even if they regretted it, they would accept it out of pride.

But who is Huo Yuhao?

It was one thing before, but if you knowingly buy something now that you're being ripped off, wouldn't you just be a sucker?

and so…

"Sorry, I'm just one step away from..."

Huo Yuhao waved his hand, indicating that the transaction was over, then turned around, his gaze lingering on the girl beside him.

His clothes and the tone of his voice always gave him a sense of familiarity.

Could it be one of the female supporting characters from the original story? "Hey, young master, wait a minute, wait a minute..."

The stall owner panicked when he saw the duck about to fly away from his beak.

These little animals are about to die, and if he can't sell them soon, he'll be stuck with them.

"I've already packed up all three soul beasts, how can you just say you don't want to buy them?"

"No, you have to pay today!"

The stall owner stood up, his face gloomy, his tall figure intimidating the two children.

Seeing the stall owner's appearance, Huo Yuhao's expression turned somewhat strange.

This guy dares to make a move here, does he have some kind of background?
Just as Huo Yuhao was pondering, the black-haired girl chuckled, pointing her delicate white finger at the stall owner, and a silvery laugh rang out from her cherry-like lips:
"This is hilarious!"

"Come on, if you have the guts, then do it!"

"The market rule is that money is exchanged for goods. This idiot hasn't paid yet, so how can it be considered a transaction?"

"Go ahead and do it. I want to see how you'll handle things when things get out of hand!"

Upon hearing this, the stall owner's imposing manner faltered, and the gloom on his face vanished instantly, replaced by a fawning smile:
"No, no, no, I was just kidding..."

"Um... how about fifty gold soul coins for these three soul beasts, as the little girl suggested?"

The stall owner's face was full of flattery, but inside he was cursing incessantly.

I was just trying to scare the two kids, but I never expected this girl to be so familiar with the rules of the market!

"Fifty was the price just now..."

"Right now... it's thirty!"

The girl extended three slender, white fingers, a hint of cunning in her eyes.

The stall owner's face stiffened, but thinking of the three small animals that were about to die, he knew that not selling them would only result in a loss. So he gritted his teeth and said fiercely:
"it is good!"

Upon hearing the stall owner's agreement, the girl clapped her hands and secretly cheered.

However, when she turned her head, she found Huo Yuhao standing there in a daze, so she quickly nudged him with her elbow:
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and pay..."

Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes and scrutinized the girl's delicate face until she became somewhat frightened before he looked away.

Huo Yuhao took out thirty gold soul coins from his waist and handed them to the stall owner, thus obtaining three small beasts for his experiments.

The experimental materials were ready, but the experiment also needed a safe place. The market was definitely not suitable, so Huo Yuhao quickly turned his attention away from the little beast and looked at the girl again.

The girl hadn't left yet; she was standing with her hands behind her back, smiling at him.

"Miss, do we know each other?"

"Don't call me 'girl,' it sounds so formal. My name is Tang Ya, just call me Sister Tang Ya!"

Tang Ya patted her slightly heaving chest, looking quite dashing.

Upon hearing the girl's name, Huo Yuhao's expression changed drastically, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

"Your name is Tang Ya, Tang Ya from the Tang Clan?"

"I'm afraid it's just someone with the same name," Huo Yuhao asked in a deep voice.

"Huh? Do you know me?"

"When did our Tang Clan become so famous?"

Upon hearing the girl's answer, Huo Yuhao felt his hands and feet turn ice cold.

Something's not right, not even 90% right!
How did Tang Ya end up in Shrek City?

It wasn't mentioned at all in the original work!

Was it a coincidence, or did that Buddha Tang notice him and want to tie him to the rotten ship of the Tang Clan?

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao's eyes sharpened even more. After pondering for a moment, he turned and left.

Let whoever wants to jump into this huge pit of the Tang Sect jump in, he's not going to!

"Hey, I've saved you so many gold soul coins, buy me something to eat..."

Seeing the boy turn and leave, Tang Ya called out and chased after him.

However, as Huo Yuhao turned into a small alley, Tang Ya, who was following closely behind, discovered that he had disappeared.

"How strange! This is clearly a dead end!"

"That jerk, he didn't even say thank you!"

"Next time we meet, Sister Tang Ya must teach him a lesson!"

Tang Ya waved her little fists a few times on the spot, but in the end, she could only leave helplessly.

Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao had already appeared at his new home.

"What a bad day! I almost stepped on my own during my thesis defense!"

"No, we can't go out for the next few days. We'll talk about it after the Tang Clan people leave!"
