Douluo Continent: Angel Saint Huo Yuhao

Chapter 245 New life is meant to be...

"So... how are you going to explain this after Huo Yuhao comes back?"

Jing Ziyan suddenly changed her tone and patted Nana's shoulder heavily: "After all, you promised that you would stay at Sun Moon Academy and grow quietly from now on."

"Hey~ why are you saying something like that at such a crucial time?"

Nana deflated and pushed her hand away: "Didn't Master tell you that he wouldn't touch a soul tool until he broke through to the sixth ring? It can't be that fast~"

When Huo Yuhao left, he was only at level 49. By the time he returned victorious, they might all be doing quite well in the army.

Now that the deed is done, he probably won't forcibly drag them back to the academy...

"So how long do you think it will take him?"

Just as Nana was grumbling with considerable dissatisfaction, an unfamiliar female voice appeared in her ear without warning, instantly sending chills down Nana's spine.

'I was actually touched on the back—'

Driven by a sense of crisis, Nana didn't even have time to think. In an instant, she completed the Martial Soul Possession and was about to unleash her damage-immunity skill to escape.

Unfortunately, someone was faster than her.

Or rather, there aren't many people in this world who can be faster than the person behind her...

"Don't be so nervous~"

A hand carrying terrifying power pressed down on Nana's shoulder, the hidden force almost crushing half of her body, followed by a familiar yet unfamiliar burning sensation.

'how come? ’

Sensing the crimson flames crashing into her sea of ​​consciousness, Nana's pupils constricted instantly: 'Master...Master's scent?'

It has all the attributes, all the spirit, and its spiritual power is mixed with an aura similar to Huo Yuhao's, even possessing a soul impact! It's as if they were carved from the same mold.

but……

The voice coming from behind me was clearly a girl's!
"That's right~ It's best to stay here obediently."

The auspicious beast leaned close to Nana's ear, manipulating her soul power and spiritual power to gradually spread and slowly seal everything inside her body.

What moved the auspicious beast the most was that the servant actually sat obediently in place and followed orders without any sign of resistance.

'It's been so tough... I've finally escaped the fate of always running into troublemakers.'

But in the end, she glanced at Huo Yuhao with a hint of jealousy, and shared a thought with him amidst his somewhat bewildered gaze: "The maid is quite well trained, isn't she?"

"Hey!"

Huo Yuhao almost lost his composure: "Don't you dare slander me!"

He didn't do anything to Nana! Their relationship is completely innocent!

"who are you?"

While quietly waiting for the person behind her to block her power, Nana first glanced at Jing Ziyan, who had obviously noticed before, and then asked in a low voice, "What is your relationship with the master?"

Of course, at this moment she also thought of a fact she didn't want to face.

"Let's go back to the dorm first."

Unfortunately, Huo Yuhao's belated mental communication shattered her last hope.

'This is really the end!'

Nana stood up as if she had lost her parents, and moved offstage under Jing Ziyan's amused gaze.

……

"Why do we still need to hide all the way here?"

The mythical beast poked at the simulated light and shadow in front of it, growing increasingly impatient. "Don't you still hold identities from two academies? Why didn't you just deactivate the simulation and bring me in yourself? Why go through all this trouble..."

"Because—" Huo Yuhao immediately looked exasperated: "How would I know what position that so-called Crown Prince is actually in…"

In Zhang Peng's memory, the relationship between the Holy Spirit Church and Xu Tianran was ambiguous, but because they shared common goals, they were able to cooperate deeply in certain aspects.

Now that he has led the auspicious beasts to wipe out nearly half of the evil soul master branches, causing the Holy Spirit Cult's forces to retreat, who knows how Xu Tianran will view the whole thing.

Before we know the truth, let's first understand the current situation in Mingdu.

"arrive."

Huo Yuhao stopped in front of the dormitory building, raised his arm and activated a skill he had never used before: "Sea Spirit Illusion Array!"

Unexpectedly, this skill he had relegated to the sidelines came in handy so quickly...

Although Riyue Academy is relatively well-behaved and doesn't place surveillance cameras inside the dormitory rooms, there are plenty of cameras facing the dormitory entrances, and they even have special entry and exit prompts on the door locks.

In this situation, a persistent illusion array is clearly more suitable.

'He truly has no superfluous skills...'

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

"Owner……"

As soon as she entered the room, Nana wisely admitted defeat the moment the simulated lighting was removed, kneeling on the ground to await her fate.

However, the auspicious beast that suddenly appeared beside Huo Yuhao still made her steal a glance, secretly observing this mysterious girl whose aura was similar to her master's.

Compared to the two angels, this person's status was clearly higher.

No…more than a subordinate or colleague, her behavior was clearly more like—

Nana's eyes flickered slightly, as if she had grasped a glimmer of hope: "Mistress!"

"Cough cough..."

Huo Yuhao, who was about to speak, was choked and wanted to retort, but he couldn't bear the gaze that seemed to want to skin him alive. He could only wisely choose to turn the page: "Don't interrupt! Explain what exactly happened!"

"...as you command."

Nana shrank back.

……

Although the servants' plan may sound far-fetched at first glance, it does have the potential to be realized.

Nana was already quite talented, and if she had followed the original path, she could have steadily reached the peak of the eighth ring. If she were placed in the army, she would be qualified to be the leader of a soul guide legion.

Now enhanced, she is even more stunning, and in this world where titles are rare, she will surely secure a place for herself. Coupled with her twelve closely cooperating Fifth Ring Holy Servants, she might very well be able to seize control of the court.

"...And those of us from top academies also have some hidden perks. Before joining the military, we can get recommendation letters from some of our teachers, using their reputation to guarantee a leap to management!"

When talking about this plan that she had been preparing for half a year, Nana's eyes lit up, and she spoke with great enthusiasm: "As for that so-called interview opportunity, we also got some information through Teacher Xuan..."

"That's a newly appointed henchman of the crown prince, and he's in dire need of a group of promising people to support his position! If he can't recruit enough people here, he'll recruit from other places... Rather than making him run around, it's better to save him some energy!"

It must be said, it was a plan that was almost flawless.

Aside from a few uncontrollable factors, they had prepared countermeasures for all possible developments. Unless an unforeseen force came down and took them all down, climbing to the top ranks of the military was absolutely inevitable.

"Okay, you've convinced me... but there's one last question."

Huo Yuhao rubbed his temples, his expression serious: "Is this something you want to do to repay me, or is it because you yourselves want to make a name for yourselves?"

Actually, it's both.

Nana scratched her face and gave Huo Yuhao an awkward smile: "After all, didn't you want us to start a new life? We should live it to the fullest..."

That would be worthy of your hard work.
