Transmigrating into Huo Yuhao, my abilities are refreshed every month.

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's introduction of Shrek Academy, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes were filled with coldness, and she felt even more disappointed in Dai Mubai.

Huo Yuhao continued, "They also advertise that their students are the youngest elders in the Spirit Hall. But as far as I know, apart from the sect leaders of the three upper sects, all the elders of the Spirit Hall are Title Douluo. Considering the founding date of their school, even their first batch of students are only thirty-two years old now. If there were a thirty-two-year-old Title Douluo, would he be unknown on the continent? Moreover, with the power of a Title Douluo, would his alma mater be so poor and backward? A single word from a Title Douluo is enough to change the current situation of their academy."

"Let me tell you more about their students. Besides Dai Mubai, there are two other people at Shrek Academy."

"One of them is named Ma Hongjun. His martial soul is the Evil Fire Phoenix, and he has a congenital level nine soul power of good quality, but he has a congenital defect. It is precisely because of the defect of his martial soul that he has to have sex with women every once in a while to release the evil fire in his body."

"He was a regular at brothels, known as the 'Brothel Phoenix' by the people of Soto City. He had a strong desire for women, his eyes were always wandering around, and he would harass respectable women. He was lewd and vulgar. The teachers and staff of Shrek Academy never intervened."

"It's a pity that such a good martial soul is wasted on him. I know a woman who has the same martial soul as him. She is not even twenty years old yet, but she is already a high-level Soul Emperor. Her martial soul also has the same flaw, but she has endured the erosion of the evil fire with her own willpower. She has not used that kind of thing to relieve the evil fire in the past twenty years."

"I can introduce you two sometime."

While Zhu Zhuqing disliked Ma Hongjun, she was even more surprised by the woman Huo Yuhao had mentioned.

It should be noted that the youngest Soul Emperor recorded in Douluo Continent is thirty years old, while this woman became a Soul Emperor before she was even twenty!

This person is probably a genius from some hidden sect.

Chapter 113 Zhu Zhuqing: Is this love?

"Next up is Oscar. He's not too bad off. His spirit is a sausage, he's a food-type spirit master, and he has full spirit power from birth. I heard he's very handsome and has had several girlfriends. However, under the influence of Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai, he's become a bit sleazy."

Huo Yuhao said sincerely, "Come with me, Zhu Qing. Shrek Academy is not a good place. Joining Shrek Academy is like committing slow suicide."

Zhu Zhuqing hesitated, but still sighed and lowered her head to refuse, saying, "You should know about the struggle for the throne in the Star Luo Empire. I can't escape it."

"And also, I can't drag you down with me." Zhu Zhuqing didn't say it aloud.

Huo Yuhao said, "You can't escape simply because you're not strong enough. My teacher is a Title Douluo. If you come with me, the Star Luo Empire won't risk offending a Title Douluo to arrest you."

"Under the teacher's protection, we can cultivate in peace. Give me time, and I will soon become a Title Douluo. The Star Luo Empire can't do anything to us."

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Zhu Zhuqing admitted that she was tempted. With a Title Douluo protecting them, their safety would be guaranteed.

On one side is a near-certain death, on the other is boundless freedom; any normal person would know which to choose.

What's more, there's him on the other side, this person who was so close to me, this person who brought peace to my heart that had never been at peace.

Her personality is like a cat's; she used to be a stray cat, sensitive and unapproachable. But when someone can give her stability and a clear future, she transforms into a well-behaved and adorable house cat.

“I’ll go with you after I participate in the Continental Soul Master Tournament.” Zhu Zhuqing hesitated for a moment, then added, “I am, after all, the daughter of the Star Luo Zhu family, and I have to give them an explanation.”

Huo Yuhao was silent for a moment, then said, "Let me tell you a secret: among the people your eldest sister is chasing you, there is a Soul Saint."

“Zhu Qing, I’m not lying. I possess a detection-type soul skill. You can try it out.” Huo Yuhao activated the shared mental detection link.

Zhu Zhuqing was taken aback, "Soul Saint—"

How could she possibly escape with the help of a Soul Saint? There's only one possibility: the eldest sister never intended to kill her; she simply wanted to expel herself from the Star Luo Empire and start a new life.

Is that so?

Eldest sister—

Zhu Zhuqing slumped to the ground, utterly dejected. "Why, why didn't she tell me anything?"

"What good will it do to tell them?" Huo Yuhao retorted. "In the end, your Xingluo Dai family and Xingluo Zhu family can only allow one winner. Even if you don't fight, someone will force you to fight. In the end, either one of you sisters will commit suicide to help the other, or you will truly become enemies and fight to the bitter end."

"If I don't tell, at least I'll have something to remember."

Zhu Zhuqing's face paled, and her body tensed. Was this the fate that had befallen the daughters of the Zhu family throughout the generations?

Huo Yuhao advised, "So Zhuqing, come with me. This is the best choice. Your sister can live, and so can you."

He then said no more and waited quietly for Zhu Zhuqing's choice.

After a moment, Zhu Zhuqing covered her chest and responded softly, "Mmm."

Huo Yuhao smiled slightly and said, "Then get a good night's sleep tonight. No need to cultivate, no need to think about the Star Luo Empire, no need to worry about the future. Just relax and get some sleep! You're too tired."

Zhu Zhuqing gave a soft "hmm," lifted the covers, and lay down, but her mind was still unsettled.

She wasn't thinking about cultivation or the future; all she was thinking about was Huo Yuhao.

By agreeing to go with Huo Yuhao, she was essentially entrusting her future to him.

It's fair to say that Huo Yuhao is now practically her fiancé in the true sense.

It's really amazing. I was tricked by him using the name of my fiancé on our first meeting, and now it's become a reality in just one day.

Zhu Zhuqing felt shy and her heart fluttered. She couldn't help but ask herself if she really liked him.

Scenes of their time together flashed through her mind: his gentleness, his reliability, his mischievous attempts to take advantage of her, his playful teasing of Dai Mubai, his thoughtfulness, and how he understood her so well, as if he knew her intimately. Everything played out in her mind like a movie.

Do you like it?

She had never felt this way before, and there was no doubt that she had feelings for her.

Do you like it?

She clutched her pounding heart and asked herself repeatedly.

They had only known each other for a day, which was far too short to even get to know each other.

What kind of person is he? Who is in his family? What does he like? What was his past like?

She knew none of this.

She wanted to know all of these things.

Let's observe him slowly. There's still a long time ahead. Whether you like him or not, you're already on his pirate ship.

Let's just say we like it!

The girl's slightly furrowed brows relaxed, and her long eyelashes veiled her eyes, which were clear and cool yet filled with shy joy. Soon, her breathing became long and even, and she fell into a deep sleep.

Huo Yuhao saw the girl fall into a deep sleep. He wondered what she was dreaming about. A gentle smile appeared on her fair face, and her icy demeanor softened slightly.

He helped the girl snuggle closer to the blanket, quietly admired her sleeping face for a moment, and then began to meditate and cultivate.

Zhu Zhuqing slept very soundly and did not wake up until the afternoon of the next day. It was clear that she had not had such a peaceful sleep in a long time.

After the girl woke up in the afternoon, Huo Yuhao prepared food. After the two finished eating, they went downstairs and saw two groups of people facing each other.

On one side were Dai Mubai and the twins, and on the other side were a man and a woman.

The boy had an ordinary appearance. He wore a belt inlaid with twenty-four jade stones around his waist, which was exactly the same as the replica of the Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moon that Tang Ya had given to Huo Yuhao.

However, after Huo Yuhao made money, he changed his storage soul tool.

Many of the Tang Clan's most important hidden weapons have been lost, yet this replica Soul Guide Belt is exactly the same in color and shape as the original, which is truly laughable.

The girl had long black hair styled in a scorpion braid and wore a pink top that tightly covered her budding figure. Her face was pretty and delicate, and her large eyes glared at Dai Mubai with dissatisfaction, giving her a rather spoiled look.

Huo Yuhao was somewhat surprised, not expecting to encounter Tang San and Xiao Wu like this.

His attention was more focused on Xiao Wu—a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form, and he was currently lacking a soul ring. Coincidentally, the Soft Bone Charming Rabbit's soul skill had the ability to charm, which was quite a good match for his succubus body.

Even though he's a grown man, he's too embarrassed to use his charm skills.

Huo Yuhao withdrew his gaze and ultimately abandoned the option of choosing Xiao Wu.

Seeing Huo Yuhao and the other person, Dai Mubai raised an eyebrow. "Brother, looks like you played quite late last night. You're only getting up at this hour. I've already started my second game."

"Thanks to Young Master Dai," Huo Yuhao said with a smile.

Zhu Zhuqing's expression remained cold, but unlike yesterday, she now simply stood quietly to the side with her eyes lowered, not glancing at Dai Mubai.

Tang San and Xiao Wu's gazes also turned to Huo Yuhao. Xiao Wu muttered to herself, "Just like this Dai Shao, you can tell at a glance that he's no good. What a waste of his good looks."

Tang San stared intently at Huo Yuhao. For some reason, he had a feeling that the boy he had never met had taken something very important from him.

Chapter 114 Flander: I feel like I've lost a fortune.

Huo Yuhao and Zhu Zhuqing passed through the hotel lobby and said with smiles, "You two continue, we'll be going now."

He had no intention of staying to watch the play; he had more important things to do.

Once a short distance from the Rose Hotel, Huo Yuhao used his mental detection to search for Tang Hao's whereabouts. Soon after, Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up – he had indeed found him!

Looks like I can go find Gintoki now, hehehe—

Huo Yuhao accompanied Zhu Zhuqing to Soto City for a stroll and bought a detailed map of the Douluo Continent in this era.

The two exchanged a few words every now and then, appearing quite harmonious.

"Zhu Qing, since you've decided to come with me, then join my sect." Huo Yuhao gazed at the beautiful young woman.

"Okay." Zhu Zhuqing didn't ask which sect it was, and simply agreed.

Huo Yuhao said, "Our sect is called the Spirit Transmission Tower, and there's another organization called the Soul Hall. You should join both; they'll merge sooner or later."

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao remembered the power gathering ability of the [Hive Will], so he stopped and said, "Wait a minute, I have something good for you."

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Huo Yuhao in confusion, only to see him touch his brow with his finger, and a message entered her mind.

Zhu Zhuqing's face showed a look of understanding. She could now use the full force of four Title Douluos, one Soul Douluo, and several Soul Venerables and Soul Masters, and she could even combine them to make the attack even more powerful.

A look of surprise appeared on her usually cool face. Four Title Douluos? There was such a way to leverage the power of others?
