Douluo's Contract God King Huo Yuhao

In the hotel room, Huo Yuhao met Xu Jiawei again.

Huo Yuhao looked at the emperor of the Star Luo Empire with some surprise. Meeting privately for two consecutive days was a bit too frequent.

"Sect Leader Huo, after learning about your background, Jiu Jiu has always admired you greatly. She has long hoped to visit Shrek Academy's inner court for an exchange and study for a period of time. I wonder if that would be convenient?"

"This is my personal compensation for the disturbance to the academy. I hope Pavilion Master Huo can consider it. As the older brother, I really have no choice but to trouble you, Pavilion Master."

As Xu Jiawei spoke, he handed Huo Yuhao a square storage soul tool filled with rare metals and ice-attribute natural treasures.

Looking at the enormous amount of resources, Huo Yuhao finally understood Xu Jiawei's true intentions. He immediately became serious and prepared to probe the emperor's true intentions.

"It's no problem to take your sister to study for a while, but does your sister plan to stay at the academy for a position in the future, or is she just staying temporarily?"

"I've long found life in the palace quite boring, and I'm afraid I won't be returning anytime soon. In that case, I would appreciate it if Pavilion Master Huo could take good care of your sister."

After giving a somewhat suggestive answer, Xu Jiawei immediately followed up with more bets.

"There are quite a few young people in the Star Crown Family who want to leave Star Luo City and travel around. If it is convenient for you in the future, Pavilion Master Huo, it would be good to take them to broaden their horizons."

Huo Yuhao, understanding the deeper meaning, realized that Xu Jiawei was preparing to completely bind himself to him, and he had no reason to refuse Xu Jiujiu's attempt to get closer to her.

"When I last met Princess Jiujiu, I could tell that her talent as a Soul Master was exceptional, enough to enter the Inner Academy for further study. If she were to stay and serve in the future, she might be able to lend me a hand. I should be the one thanking her."

"You're too kind, Pavilion Master. I won't disturb your rest any longer. We'll discuss the negotiations with the Sun Moon Empire after the auction in a few days."

Seeing that he had reached an agreement with Huo Yuhao, Xu Jiawei did not intend to stay any longer and took his leave.

At this moment, Mu En revealed himself, looking at Huo Yuhao with a smile and teasing him:

"You've taken a fancy to that Princess Jiujiu, huh? You agreed so readily, which isn't really like you."

Huo Yuhao opened his storage soul tool with a bit of helplessness and showed it to Mu En.

"Elder Mu, you're wrong this time. The amount of rare metals that the Star Luo Emperor gave us this time is so great that even ordinary storage rings can't hold them all."

"And these rare and precious materials are enough for a normal ice-attribute soul master to cultivate to the title of Douluo. With such assistance, if I still don't agree, Xu Jiawei should start to wonder if I have some grudge against him."

Moon was also somewhat shocked to see so many resources; these rare metals represented at least a third of the Star Crown family's accumulation over the years.

"If you have time recently, try to meet with that princess a few more times. Once she leaves with you, it will probably be difficult for her to return to Xingluo City."

Xu Jiujiu sat gracefully in front of the full-length mirror, combing her long, smooth golden hair.

Her tall figure was reflected in a pair of bright blue eyes, her skin was delicate and fair, and she exuded an elegant aristocratic air.

As her glossy, waist-length hair was gradually styled into a neat ponytail, she slowly rose from her seat, dressed in a gorgeous gold gown.

She gazed at her reflection in the mirror for a long time, admiring her bright eyes, white teeth, and high-bridged nose. Her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she sighed softly.

Man Yi, who was standing to the side, appeared and looked at her with some confusion.

"If you don't like it, just refuse Xu Jiawei. With me and the elders here, no one will force you. Why do you always have to make things difficult for yourself?"

After a long silence, she parted her red lips slightly and said with a hint of helplessness:

"It's not that I'm indispensable, it's just that I'm the most suitable. It's not that I don't like Huo Yuhao; who doesn't have some respect for a legend?"

"It's just that I haven't known him much, and we don't really understand each other. Plus, after this trip, I'm afraid it will be difficult to come back often, so I can't help but feel a little melancholy."

Manyi, who had always regarded Xu Jiujiu as her own granddaughter, was even more puzzled.

"Among the royal princesses, isn't there Xu Yun? Even if Xu Yun isn't up to par, there are always other princesses."

"You're considerably older than Huo Yuhao in age, and in terms of cultivation, who can compare to the next Sea God Pavilion Master? Why is it that it has to be you?"

After a long time, he realized that Manyi wasn't completely ignorant; she just had deep feelings for him and couldn't bear to leave him, so he slowly began to explain.

"Grandma Manyi, among all the princesses, I am the closest to my brother, and I am the only one who possesses the characteristics of the Star Crown family."

"Besides, it's already incredibly lucky that someone like Huo Yuhao agreed. Have you ever heard of any Sea God Pavilion Master being close to an Imperial Princess?"

"I wouldn't trust anyone else to handle this, so I'm the most suitable person to do it."

"There's only a five or six year age difference between us. If one day he achieves a title, that age difference won't matter."

Upon hearing this, Manyi gently patted Xu Jiujiu's back, sighed silently, and fell silent.

Xu Jiujiu then walked out of the palace, removed the crown symbolizing her royal status and the crystal-clear jewelry, and strolled through Xingluo City.

I walked slowly along a familiar street, gazing at the buildings on both sides for a long time, as if trying to memorize them.

They had only walked two streets when they saw a boy with eyes as bright as stars in the night sky at the corner.

Huo Yuhao leaned against a building at the street corner, his deep eyes gazing at Xu Jiujiu's somewhat lonely figure.

"Sect Master Huo, I didn't expect to run into you here." Xu Jiujiu looked at Huo Yuhao with a dignified smile on her pretty face.

"It wasn't a coincidence, I was just waiting for you here."

"I'm very curious about what you're thinking. I sensed the relief and ease of having a heavy burden lifted from your emotions, but I also sensed your doubts and confusion about the present."

Xu Jiujiu looked at Huo Yuhao with some surprise, quite astonished that he could sense his own emotions.

"I always keep my word, so you don't need to feel so guilty. As long as the Star Luo Royal Family is sincere in their cooperation, I will naturally not break my promise."

Similarly, if our cooperation becomes unsustainable, it cannot be reversed simply by relying on our personal relationship.

"If you are unwilling, there is no need for this. I swear on my own martial spirit that if the princess refuses this matter, it will not affect the cooperation."

Looking at Huo Yuhao's serious face and captivating eyes in the evening sunset, Xu Jiujiu relaxed and revealed a somewhat relaxed smile.
