Douluo Continent: Angel Saint Huo Yuhao

Chapter 266 is slightly inferior.

Two hundred days in a row!
God knows how they survived those two hundred days!
In this desolate world without a sky, surrounded by endless, indestructible skeletons, you have to fight tooth and nail to get even a tiny bit of water or food.

Oh right... and that strange black bird that appears and disappears like a ghost!
Whenever they went too far, it would appear out of nowhere to block their way, restricting the two angels' activity space to a certain area.

Is this considered a shelter?

Even if you were to go to prison, the conditions wouldn't be this harsh, would they?

"I hope you are well..."

Huo Yuhao's eyes darted around, appearing quite guilty.

After all, he didn't shake the two out so they could go out for a stroll; he just needed a local to help them find their way. Afterward, he would still have to put the two back into the undead demiplane to continue suffering.

"Ugh…"

Looking at his expression, Ye Guyi knew perfectly well that he wanted something from them, which was why they had a chance to catch their breath. Thinking of this, her resentment deepened: "Putting everything else aside, can't we at least take a nice hot bath? We've been smelling like stench for half a year..."

"Seconded."

Yu Mengdi responded blankly, her face completely devoid of the piety and hidden fervor she once displayed; she had truly been thoroughly tormented.

"No problem at all!"

Huo Yuhao immediately released simulated light and shadow, leading the two into a rather luxurious hotel and booking a suite.

—Clearly, the information registration used both his and the auspicious beast's identities.

"Ouch~"

Looking at the young man who appeared to be only about fifteen years old, the receptionist's gaze became noticeably strange.

After all, the Sun Moon Empire is a somewhat progressive society, and it is quite resistant to the phenomenon of young people being unrestrained.

Moreover, the lack of powerful martial souls and genius soul masters makes their overall development speed slightly slower than that of Douluo Three Kingdoms, which makes this matter even more taboo.

"Well, let's add the food delivery service too."

Despite the strange looks from the receptionist, Huo Yuhao calmly added to his order: "Besides that, I'd like a few more new outfits... ones that fit her figure a little better than hers."

As he spoke, he pointed to the auspicious beast beside him, gesturing its outline under the beast's almost biting gaze.

"Oh, I understand!"

The receptionist immediately understood, and the sigh in her eyes deepened.

It's just that possessing a spirit changes one's physical form... Everyone knows that! However, this is the first time he's seen someone planning to possess a spirit... Tsk.

Have young people developed to this extent already?
And judging by their appearance, they're 'top students' from the Sun Moon Academy... Is it really reliable to entrust our empire to these guys?!

Regardless of the turmoil in her heart, the receptionist still managed a formulaic smile and gestured:
"I hope you enjoy yourself."

"…grateful."

Huo Yuhao nodded with a forced smile.

Although there was no evidence, he always felt that the other party might have misunderstood something.
……

"Finally alive~"

The two angels, soaking in the circular bath, finally regained some of their human vitality, and even their eyes gradually regained their liveliness: "This is where humans should be."

Because they were covered in grime, they had to change the hot water twice before they could soak comfortably in the bath.

"Who designed this...?"

Leaning against the pool, Yu Mengdi turned her gaze to the slightly transparent bathroom door, where she could even see the bed directly opposite her: "If it were any more transparent, it would be completely unobstructed."

Fortunately, Huo Yuhao was a decent person and chose to sit in the living room and wait for them to leave.

"We're in a place like this, what kind of decent stuff can we expect?" Ye Guyi seemed unsurprised: "It's already merciful that they didn't just put a completely transparent glass door on us—"

Before they could finish speaking, a blurry figure appeared outside the door amidst their suddenly changed gazes.

Then, he suddenly pulled the bathroom door open.

"Hey!"

Before they could even wrap themselves up in their shock, the auspicious beast standing at the door waved a stack of clothes in its hand, allowing the two to breathe a sigh of relief.

"What you're doing is scary, okay?"

Ye Guyi couldn't help but complain.

"What's so scary about this... Don't you all trust him?"

The auspicious beast casually put down the clothes and leaned against the counter, observing the two people in the water: "After all, if you really want to see, his mental detection can completely bypass your perception."

什…

Ye Guyi's expression tightened subconsciously, but the auspicious beast, who was breathing heavily as he spoke, soothed the tension that had just arisen: "Don't worry! The entire room is enveloped by my spiritual power. Do you think I'll let him do anything reckless?"

"……you?"

Hearing the auspicious beast's words, Ye Guyi belatedly glanced at Yu Mengdi and vaguely understood what the other party was implying.

However, immediately afterward, she felt a gaze from the auspicious beast, which looked her up and down several times before slowly withdrawing its gaze.

"What's wrong? Is something the problem?"

Unsure of the auspicious beast's intentions, Ye Guyi spoke in a low, hoarse voice, afraid of accidentally stepping into a minefield.

Having grown up in an environment like the Ordinary Alliance, the most common sight she witnessed was women bickering and clashing. Someone as straightforward as her had been outmaneuvered countless times.

"It's just a little bit short...it'll be no more than three years."

"what?"

Ye Guyi looked even more bewildered.

"nothing."

The auspicious beast crossed its arms, its face sour as if it owed her money: "Let's change our clothes and get things done first. Once we're done, you can soak for as long as you want."

……

'As expected, how could a place like this possibly provide normal clothing?'

Ye Guyi, now dressed, stood side by side with Yu Mengdi, her face as black as the bottom of a pot: "This outfit is practically that of a maid! Couldn't you have changed it?"

"So you want this?"

The auspicious beast casually pulled out a few pieces of cloth, which immediately made Ye Guyi refuse repeatedly: "No, no... I think what I'm wearing is fine."

She couldn't even imagine what it would look like to wear it as an eye mask, let alone use it as an eye mask.

"Enough with the small talk."

Huo Yuhao tapped on the table, drawing the attention of the three: "Let's begin."

He has other things to do starting tomorrow, and the matter of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce naturally needs to be resolved as soon as possible.

However, before setting off, he had to set up an illusion array to deceive the soul guidance defense system installed in the room, in order to prevent the words 'no one' from popping up on the front desk screen.

"The Aodu Chamber of Commerce has a wide range of businesses, covering everything. They even intervene in and adjust the price of grain within the empire. However, the strength and scale they demonstrate do not match what is shown. Even level eight soul masters are quite rare."

Suddenly leaping out of the hotel window, Ye Guyi spread her wings and flew ahead to lead the way: "At the same time, this group of people is also quite sensitive to certain court news, and their ability to obtain intelligence is first-class... If I'm not mistaken, the guys behind this force are those nobles!"
