Douluo Continent: I, Huo Yuhao, have a Beast Taming Space

Chapter 48 Treasure Reward Party

After Huo Yuhao left, Yan Shaozhe returned to Seagod Island in a cheerful mood.

He planned to check on Ma Xiaotao's situation first and tell her the good news.

When he arrived at Ma Xiaotao's residence, he was surprised to find that Ma Xiaotao was cultivating, and her aura was stable, showing no signs of the previous restless evil fire.

Yan Shaozhe felt a sense of foreboding.

Ma Xiaotao noticed Yan Shaozhe's arrival and happily opened her eyes: "Teacher!"

Yan Shaozhe's face darkened, and he asked in a deep voice, "Xiao Tao, you wouldn't...?"

"no!"

Ma Xiaotao immediately interrupted him, her cheeks slightly flushed.

"Teacher, I went to see Huo Yuhao, the one you mentioned, a few days ago..."

Yan Shaozhe was taken aback: "You've already met? You weren't rude to them, were you?"

Recalling the scene of their intimate contact that day, Ma Xiaotao's pretty face flushed even more, and she stammered, "No...nothing was impolite..."

Yan Shaozhe's heart skipped a beat when he saw Ma Xiaotao's shy appearance.

As someone who's been through it all, he knows all too well what that expression means.

"Little Peach..."

Yan Shaozhe said earnestly.

"Although Huo Yuhao is exceptionally talented, he is still young, and this is the first time you've met..."

"teacher!"

Ma Xiaotao stomped her foot in embarrassment and annoyance.

"We really didn't do anything! It's just... he just helped me suppress my evil fire..."

Yan Shaozhe looked at her suspiciously: "Is it really just suppressing the evil fire?"

"of course it's true!"

Ma Xiaotao tried to remain calm, but her bright red ears betrayed her.

Yan Shaozhe sighed, inwardly realizing something was wrong.

Judging from this situation, it seems my own cabbage is about to be eaten.

However, upon further reflection, Huo Yuhao's talent was indeed worthy of Ma Xiaotao, and the two of them, one possessing the ultimate ice and the other the evil fire phoenix, were truly a match made in heaven.

"That's all..."

Yan Shaozhe shook his head.

"Since you've already met, I won't interfere. You... watch your step."

Ma Xiaotao nodded, blushing, "I understand, teacher."

Seeing his disciple in this state, Yan Shaozhe felt both gratified and worried.

It's gratifying that Ma Xiaotao's problem of lustful desires has finally been resolved, but it's worrying that these two young people might be developing too fast.

"Alas, young man..."

Yan Shaozhe shook his head and left.

"By the way, there's a treasure appreciation event tonight, Huo Yuhao will probably be there too."

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao's eyes lit up, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

……

As evening fell, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er walked side by side on the streets of Shrek City. The afterglow of the setting sun cast long shadows of the two, and Wang Dong'er's long, light blue hair swayed gently in the evening breeze, attracting frequent glances from passersby.

"I heard there are a lot of good stuff at tonight's treasure hunt."

Huo Yuhao held Wang Dong'er's hand and said softly.

Wang Dong'er blinked curiously: "Treasure Appreciation Gathering? Is that the trade fair that only core disciples can participate in?"

"Yes."

Huo Yuhao nodded.

"It is said that there are many rare soul tools, spiritual herbs, and even soul bones."

"Go and have a look."

……

As the two were talking, they arrived at the Treasure Pavilion.

The four-story building was magnificent and glittering, with four sweet-looking young girls standing at the entrance.

After showing the invitation, a young girl led them into the pavilion.

The hall exuded an air of luxury, with gold and silver decorations shimmering under the lights. Eight beautiful young women, each dressed in a gold miniskirt, stood on either side.

Looking at the luxurious scene, Wang Dong'er couldn't help but mutter under her breath, "This is too extravagant..."

Huo Yuhao smiled and squeezed her hand: "The wealthiest merchant guild in Shrek City, of course we have to be ostentatious."

The two strolled through the second-floor exhibition hall, admiring the various treasures through the transparent crystal display cases.

The two strolled around for a long time. Suddenly, Wang Dong'er's gaze was drawn to a golden-red arm bone.

"This is... the Golden Light Left Arm Bone!"

Wang Dong'er exclaimed in surprise.

Huo Yuhao followed her gaze and saw a left arm bone radiating a warm light displayed in the showcase. The five finger bones were long and sharp, and the price tag was followed by a series of zeros.

"Like it?"

Huo Yuhao said with a smile.

Wang Dong'er nodded, but then hesitated, "It's too expensive..."

Huo Yuhao smiled slightly and beckoned to a staff member: "I want this soul bone."

"Yuhao!"

Wang Dong'er grabbed him in surprise.

"This is too valuable!"

"It's worth it for you."

Huo Yuhao looked at her tenderly.

"Besides, I'm now a core disciple of the inner court, and I can take one item for free every year, so I can afford to pay this amount of money."

The staff quickly completed the formalities and handed over the exquisite wooden box containing the soul bone to Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao took the wooden box, turned around, and solemnly handed it to Wang Dong'er.

"Here, it's yours."

Wang Dong'er's eyes were slightly red.

"Thank you, Yuhao."

"Do we need to say thank you to each other? Hehehe, later..."

Huo Yuhao leaned close to her ear and whispered.

Wang Dong'er blushed and lightly patted Huo Yuhao.

"rogue."

The two continued to stroll through the treasure fair, occasionally encountering other core disciples.

Whenever someone casts an envious glance, Wang Dong'er unconsciously tightens her grip on Huo Yuhao's hand.

Just as they were about to leave, Huo Yuhao suddenly stopped in front of an inconspicuous display case. Inside the case was a dull gray crystal, priced at only six thousand gold soul coins.

"This is... whale glue?"

Huo Yuhao carefully read the instructions.

Wang Dong'er leaned over for a look: "Millennium Whale Glue? Although this stuff can enhance physical fitness, its effects are very limited."

Huo Yuhao smiled mysteriously: "This is not the Thousand-Year Whale Glue."

Within the sea of ​​consciousness, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm exclaimed excitedly, "Yuhao, this is Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue! We've struck gold!"

Huo Yuhao bought the whale glue, which had been misjudged, without hesitation.

Although Wang Dong'er was puzzled, she trusted Huo Yuhao's judgment.

……

Night falls and the starlight is sparse.

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er left the magnificent gates of Jubaoge and stepped into the streets of Shrek City, where the lights were just coming on.

"That piece of golden light left arm bone is quite suitable for you; the attributes of the Goddess of Light Butterfly are very compatible with it."

Huo Yuhao smiled, feeling the warmth from his palm.

"Ah."

Wang Dong'er nodded gently, her pinkish-blue eyes shining brightly in the night.

"After I fuse with it, my strength should increase significantly. But that whale glue seems pretty ordinary to me. Is there anything special about it?"

Huo Yuhao smiled mysteriously, about to explain the true value of the Ten Thousand Year Whale Glue, when the voice of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm in the Sea of ​​Spirit suddenly stopped, followed by an urgent warning.

"Yuhao! Watch out! There's a murderous aura ahead!"

Huo Yuhao felt a chill in his heart, but the smile on his face remained unchanged, and even his pace and speed remained consistent.

He quietly released the shared mental detection capabilities.

Wang Dong'er, who was of the same mind as him, immediately sensed something was amiss. Her voice paused slightly, and she subconsciously looked at Huo Yuhao.

Last night, when Huo Yuhao told him his secret, he had already let Wang Dong'er experience it.

The sudden opening of the window puzzled her.

The mental probe spread forward like invisible ripples, and sure enough, not far ahead, in a sparse grove of trees, it sensed a faint, chilling killing intent.

However, due to the distance, it was impossible to accurately detect the number and strength of the ambushers.
