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

Chapter 84: Tonight's yours, tomorrow night's mine.
Beibei, Xu Sanshi, and the others immediately followed. Although the team looked young, their calmness and subtle cohesion made the staff member forget what to say for a moment.

In the open lounge area on the second floor of the hotel, several pairs of eyes had already fallen on them.

A handsome young man in elegant clothes leaned against the railing, observing Huo Yuhao, the leader of the Shrek Academy team, with great interest. A playful smile appeared on his lips: "Tsk, he does seem to have some presence. Old Ma, don't we have any concrete information from our intelligence network in Star Luo City? What is Shrek Academy up to? Do they really intend to defend their title with this bunch of teenagers?"

The old man, whom he called Elder Ma, frowned and slowly shook his head: "Information is limited. We only know that they seem to have encountered considerable trouble on the way. But Shrek Academy's actions are never conventional. Wait another half day until registration closes, and everything will become clear."

"Brother, if Shrek Academy really has this lineup, then wouldn't the championship be a sure thing for our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy?"

Beside the boy, a girl wearing a sun hat and with long, smooth silver hair blinked her big eyes and said excitedly.

"That's natural!"

The handsome young man was none other than Xiao Hongchen from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. He proudly raised his chin, his tone full of confidence and arrogance.

"With this genius on the field, the championship is a piece of cake, isn't it? It's just a pity that I thought I could have a good match with Shrek's main team, but they collapsed first. How boring."

Upon hearing this, both Old Ma and Captain Ma Rulong, who were standing next to him, twitched their lips almost imperceptibly.

This little devil never misses a chance to boast.

Ma Rulong's gaze deepened as he stared intently at Huo Yuhao's retreating figure, his eyes flashing.

In previous tournaments, the Sun Moon Empire had always been outmatched by Shrek Academy, but this year, it seemed to be their closest brush with the championship yet...

Meanwhile, the Star Luo National Academy team was also watching them closely.

"Your Highness, Shrek Academy..."

One of the team members, unable to contain his excitement, leaned close to Xu Jiujiu and whispered.

Shrek Academy's dominant position over the past ten thousand years has long made all the other academies set their sights on competing for second place. Seeing Shrek Academy's roster so thin now, it's hard not to have some doubts.

There are only four regular players?
So confident?
"Silence."

Xu Jiujiu was dressed in the team uniform of Xingluo Royal Academy, with a tall and straight posture and a noble and elegant temperament.

She interrupted her teammate calmly, her gaze following the direction Huo Yuhao and his group had left, her expression complex.

The royal family has obtained more concrete information from the enraged Duke Daihao of the White Tiger through special channels.

Shrek suffered heavy losses on this trip, with three starting players seriously injured.

This includes Dai Hao's eldest son, Dai Yueheng.

In other words, Shrek only has four regular players participating this year.

Let's wait and see how things develop.

Even with one less Soul Emperor and two less Soul Kings, Shrek Academy still has one Soul Emperor and three Soul Kings to rely on.

……

As night deepened, the Xingluo Hotel was completely silent.

The lights had just been turned off in Shrek Academy's private meeting room.

After several hours and a half of intense discussion, preliminary plans for the initial tactical arrangements, personnel deployment, and contingency plans for various unforeseen circumstances in the early stages of the competition were finally finalized.

Everyone seemed mentally exhausted, their faces showing contemplation and solemnity.

"Alright, that concludes today's discussion."

Wang Yan closed his notebook and rubbed his throbbing temples.

"Everyone should go back and get some rest and recharge. The competition officially opens tomorrow, and we need to be in top condition to meet the challenge."

Everyone nodded and got up to leave the meeting room.

The continuous travel and unexpected events did indeed require them to have some time to adjust and recover.

Huo Yuhao returned to the room Wang Yan had arranged for him. The room was spacious and clean, and through the window, he could see the dazzling lights of Xingluo City. He took off his outer clothes and had just lay down on the soft bed, preparing to circulate his soul power to eliminate fatigue, when a slight "click" came from the door.

Huo Yuhao sat up alertly, his mental energy instantly scanning the doorway. He paused slightly, then relaxed.

The door was gently pushed open a crack, and a head with long, light blue hair cautiously peeked in. The bright, lively eyes shone especially brightly in the darkness, looking into the room with a hint of shyness and nervousness.

"Dong'er?"

Huo Yuhao was somewhat surprised and called out in a low voice.

When Wang Dong'er realized that he had already noticed, her pretty face flushed red, like a ripe apple.

She pursed her lips, her voice barely audible: "Yuhao... are you... are you asleep?"

Looking at her charming and lovely appearance, Huo Yuhao felt a surge of tenderness in his heart, and all sleepiness vanished.

He pulled back the covers, reached out his hand to her, and smiled gently. "Not yet. Come here."

Like a startled little rabbit, Wang Dong'er hesitated for a moment before tiptoeing in and gently closing the door behind her.

As soon as she reached the bedside, Huo Yuhao stretched out his long arm and pulled her into his arms, leading her back onto the soft bed.

"what!"

Wang Dong'er gasped softly as Huo Yuhao's strong arms encircled her, his warm breath washing over her.

She struggled for a moment, but finding it futile, she blushed and nestled obediently in his arms, muttering softly, "I...I just came to see you...Um...Are you still cultivating tonight?"

Huo Yuhao lowered his head, gently brushing his chin against the top of her head, which exuded a faint fragrance. He tightened his arms around her, completely embracing her petite body.

"I'm not cultivating anymore."

His voice was lazily and doting.

"That's it for tonight, I'll hold you while I sleep."

Upon hearing this, Wang Dong'er's body stiffened at first, then slowly relaxed, and an indescribable sense of peace and sweetness welled up in her heart.

She buried her burning cheeks in Huo Yuhao's neck and softly murmured "Mmm".

A warm tranquility settled over the room, with only the soft breathing of the two of them mingling together.

The distant hustle and bustle outside the window seemed to be isolated in another world.

Huo Yuhao could clearly feel the girl in his arms gradually calming her heartbeat and relaxing her body.

He lowered his head and placed a gentle, precious kiss on her smooth forehead.

"Sleep well, Dong'er."

he whispered.

"I am here."

Wang Dong'er didn't answer, but instead found a more comfortable position in his arms, stretched out her arms to hug his strong waist, a satisfied and serene smile on her lips, and slowly closed her eyes.

The two slept in each other's arms, their figures closely intertwined in the hazy night, like two interdependent vines. All their weariness, tension, and unease seemed to melt away quietly in each other's warmth.

Next door, Ma Xiaotao watched Wang Dong'er sneak into Huo Yuhao's room.

He curled his lips.

"Tonight is yours, but Xiaoyuhao must be mine tomorrow night."

After saying that, she returned to her room.

I started to sleep and rest.
