Douluo Continent: I, Huo Yuhao, am the Master of Spirit

Chapter 72 Little Huo's Grilled Fish Makes Another Move

Sensing that someone was approaching the cave, Huo Yuhao activated his Spirit Eyes, which were disguised as six eyes, and then activated his mental detection.

The images of the two people heading towards the cave were clearly imprinted in Huo Yuhao's mind.

One was a blonde girl, and the other was an old woman in a red dress.

The old woman in the red dress was clearly a Title Douluo. Her mental strength was only slightly weaker than Huo Yuhao's, so Huo Yuhao dared not recklessly scan her mental strength.

The one next to him wasn't even worth looking at. Huo Yuhao scanned her with his spiritual power and knew exactly what color her underwear was.

Of course, Huo Yuhao wasn't interested in any of this. He secretly wondered if he could leave the two of them here if a conflict broke out.

After all, their goals are clear, and it remains to be seen whether they will be friends or enemies.

If the visitor is hostile, Huo Yuhao will not hold back, and his chances of winning the lottery will increase by two.

If the other party is well-intentioned, Huo Yuhao wouldn't mind sharing his grilled fish.

He was never a bloodthirsty person, nor was he a saint. When threatened, he wouldn't hesitate to uphold the traditional virtue of his ancestors—killing the whole family.

At this moment, Xu Jiujiu and Manyi are speeding through the Cataclysmic Mountains.

With Manyi nearby, the Cataclysmic Mountains are practically just like tourist attractions.

So the two of them headed straight for the habitat of the ten-thousand-year-old Starry Sky Beast, as recorded on the Starry Sky Royal Map.

But when they got there, they discovered that the Ten-Thousand-Year Starry Sky Beast, which should have been located halfway up the mountain, had simply disappeared!
Manyi discovered the bloodstains of a Starry Sky Beast on a rock wall, realizing that the beast had been hunted down by some kind of Soul Beast or Soul Master.

So, Manyi led Xu Jiujiu onward to search for the habitats of other ten-thousand-year-old star-type soul beasts.

But strangely, all the ancient star-type soul beasts that were originally on the map have disappeared!

The two of them were still not giving up. Manyi realized something was wrong and took Xu Jiujiu to the territory of some gem-type ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts.

It turned out they had also been hunted down!
Looking at the last rays of the sun on the horizon, Manyi decided to take Xu Jiujiu deeper into the Disaster Mountain Range to find the ten-thousand-year-old soul beast.

As long as you don't enter the core area, this place is kindergarten level difficulty for Manyi.

As soon as they took off with Xu Jiujiu, they felt a sense of oppression.

As a titled Douluo, Manyi naturally honed her instincts to the point of being comparable to Observation Haki through countless battles.

The oppressive feeling made her hair stand on end, and she immediately stopped flying, taking Xu Jiujiu to the outer edge of the Cataclysmic Mountains on the ground.

Fortunately, the sense of crisis that felt like countless needles pricking their pores didn't last long and disappeared after they reached the outer edge of the Cataclysmic Mountains.

However, it was already quite late, so Manyi decided to take Xu Jiujiu to find a place to rest.

We'll make plans during the day. If all else fails, we'll go to the Star Dou Great Forest mixed zone and spend some effort to find a suitable ten-thousand-year-old star-type soul beast.

Perhaps it's true that the eyes of the strong are always similar; Manyi spotted the cave where Huo Yuhao was hiding at a glance.

Because Huo Yuhao's mental strength was stronger than hers, she was unable to sense Huo Yuhao's presence.

They only discovered the fire inside the cave when they reached the entrance.

Manyi reached out and stopped Xu Jiujiu, letting her hide behind her, and then slowly entered the cave.

After being stopped for a long time, she pouted, but still obediently hid behind Manyi.

Peeking out from behind to look into the cave.

Her azure eyes were full of curiosity, a look she only showed when she was with Grandma Manyi.

Because she knew that she didn't need to put on airs as a princess next to Manyi; she truly treated her like a granddaughter.

Manyi was also very happy about this. She didn't want this girl, who was like her granddaughter, to maintain court etiquette all day long, as that would be too tiring.

Soon, she saw Huo Yuhao sitting by the fire in the cave.

A young man with short white hair and pale blue eyes sat casually by the fire, watching the two of them.

Manyi was not a bloodthirsty person. As a member of the Star Luo Empire's Hall of Worship, she considered herself a righteous person.

Unless the other party poses a threat to Xu Jiujiu or may affect the safety of the Star Luo Empire, she will not easily take a life.

Man Yi sensed the other party's soul power aura. It was pure, upright, and peaceful. His cultivation level should be that of a high-level Soul Emperor. He also did not have the characteristics of an evil soul master.

Since they aren't those rats from the gutter, like the evil spirit masters, then they can have a talk.

Manyi took the initiative to speak:
"Young friend, it's getting late. Would you like to join us by the fire?"

Huo Yuhao sensed that the other party meant him no harm, and after thinking for a while, he decided to grant their request.

He was displaying the aura of a high-level Soul Emperor, and if the opponent, a mere Title Douluo, truly harbored ill intentions, he would have attacked immediately. However, he couldn't be careless; he was in an unfamiliar place, and the unscrupulous technique had already been deployed, only about a centimeter away from his body.

"Of course, please take a seat."

Huo Yuhao pointed to the open space opposite the campfire, and Manyi nodded, then sat down opposite Huo Yuhao with Xu Jiujiu.

Manyi closed her eyes and began to meditate. After sitting next to her for a long time, she felt a little lost and prepared to enter a meditative state as well.

Huo Yuhao smiled at her, took a grilled fish from beside the fire, and handed it to her, saying:

"Eat."

I also handed one to Manyi.

After taking the grilled fish, Manyi glanced at Huo Yuhao, then quickly bit off a large piece of fish with the speed of a Title Douluo to make sure it wasn't poisonous before swallowing it.

After tasting the flavor of Huo Yuhao's grilled fish, she couldn't help but nod in appreciation. In all her years of life, this was the first time she had ever tasted such delicious grilled fish!

After watching Manyi eat the grilled fish for a long time, he also slowly started eating Huo Yuhao's grilled fish.

Her azure eyes widened in surprise. As a princess, what delicacies hadn't she tasted? Well, this was something she had never actually eaten before.

"good to eat!"

After a long while, she couldn't help but make a sound, and then began to savor Huo Yuhao's grilled fish. She had no more princess airs, and her eyes were full of longing for rice!

Seeing her looking like she was about to burst out of her clothes, Huo Yuhao sometimes really wondered if he had added something to his grilled fish.

Why are they all acting like they've inhaled ice? The ice in Lingbing Douluo's name doesn't refer to that kind of ice!
Sometimes friendships come so suddenly, perhaps from a fight, a fierce attack, or a meal.

After a long while, she gently moved to Huo Yuhao's side, glanced at Manyi, and after confirming that she would not stop him, she began to talk to Huo Yuhao.

"Hello, my name is Xu Jiu'er, what's your name?"

Huo Yuhao wanted to say something when he heard her name.

"Little sister, put some effort into it. To put it bluntly, your name is useless."

They had been a little suspicious of the other person's identity, but now they were completely certain that she was Xu Jiujiu, Xu Jiawei's younger sister from the original novel.

Judging from the looks of it, the other party is only level 50 and has not yet acquired a spirit ring. They must be here to find their fifth spirit ring.

"My name is Gojo Satoru."

After a long while, he nodded, indicating that he had remembered the other person's name.

"Are you also here to hunt for spirit rings?"

This princess is really honest, but the fact that the titled Douluo didn't stop her doesn't mean it's any important news.

Since the other party is already on the same page with Huo Yuhao, it would be inappropriate for him to continue playing mind games.

"I'm looking for something here."

After a long pause, he nodded, his azure eyes involuntarily drifting to the grilled fish on the fire, and said:

"Something seems off in the Disaster Mountain Range lately; many spirit beasts have disappeared."

Huo Yuhao casually picked up another grilled fish and handed it to her, saying:

"Well, I discovered it too."

"It's a bit strange, we can't see a single ten-thousand-year-old soul beast here."

After hearing this, Man Yi glanced at Huo Yuhao, said nothing, and continued to close her eyes.

In her view, it would be problematic if a high-level Soul Emperor couldn't detect the anomalies in the Calamity Mountain System.

After a long while, he took the grilled fish with some embarrassment, ate it in small bites, and said:
"Mr. Gojo Satoru, are you going to join us tomorrow?"

Huo Yuhao looked at Manyi opposite him. This Title Douluo, sensing Huo Yuhao's gaze, opened her eyes and said:
"Since Jiu'er has said so, I have no objection."

Huo Yuhao thought for a moment and decided that following a Title Douluo was not a big deal, since he was neither an evil soul master nor some kind of soul beast in human form.

After all, it's just a matter of scanning the golden-haired lion from a distance with mental energy.

Even if a fight breaks out, the opposing titled Douluo can help absorb the damage.

If you sense something is wrong, you can shield her in front of you.

"Then I'll leave the rest to you two. I don't have any special skills, but there's plenty of grilled fish!"
