Douluo's Contract God King Huo Yuhao

"Sect Leader Huo, thank you for respecting my ideas so much, but we have some differences."

"I know a little about your experiences, Pavilion Master Huo, and I would like to share some of mine with you today. I hope I will not offend you."

Huo Yuhao looked at Xu Jiujiu, whose eyes were slightly moist, now that the restrictions of her princess status had been removed, and nodded.

"Since we're willing to have a heart-to-heart talk, we're friends from today onwards. Just call me Yuhao."

Like Huo Yuhao, Xu Jiujiu leaned against the wall, somewhat disregarding her image, tilting her head slightly to look at the setting sun.

"Yuhao, do you know that I have lived in the palace since I was born? My father and mother care about me very much and have given me more love than others."

"Although they later grew old and became somewhat unable to perform their duties, the elder brother quickly succeeded to the throne and became the new Emperor of Xingluo."

"And he cares for me no less than he does for my parents; I am still the beloved princess."

"He never makes me do things I don't want to do, nor does he put any pressure on me. He just quietly gives me the best things."

"It's the same now. As long as I cry to him and see how wronged I am, he will soften and do everything he can to fulfill my wishes."

"When he told me this, if I ignored his gaze and bluntly refused, he would go to another princess. That's a kind of favoritism."

"How could I, who have been deeply loved by everyone since childhood, bear to see them sad and in pain? How could I let other princesses, who have never received any favoritism, leave in my place?"

"Yuhao, you have no idea how much pressure my brother is under. In the current situation, every decision he makes is related to the life and death of tens of thousands or even millions of Xingluo people."

"Ever since becoming a Soul Master, I've always wanted to help him share some of the pressure. I've learned a lot about Soul Tools and how to manage this country."

"But the more I learn, the more I realize that the Star Luo Empire is already a giant ship that is about to sink. No matter how hard my brother tries to repair it, he can't save the ship from breaking in the middle."

"It was only at this moment that Yuhao appeared, and you provided the optimal solution to this seemingly unsolvable problem."

"Both the Star Luo Empire and my brother urgently need you as the optimal solution."

"As a princess of the Star Luo Empire, I have enjoyed the respect and admiration of the Star Luo people since I was a child, and received the most luxurious life from my royal brother. At this moment, I think it is only right for me to stand up."

"Yuhao, I love this country, I love my brother, and I love these magnificent buildings and the people who live in peace and contentment."

"All my happiness and joy stem from this, and I have no reason to refuse this responsibility, nor do I have the right to refuse it."

At this moment, Xu Jiujiu no longer possessed the dignified elegance of an imperial princess, but instead exuded the unwavering determination and conviction of a knight.

Looking at Xu Jiujiu's heroic figure and determined eyes, Huo Yuhao's heart skipped a beat, and he continued to look at her with some emotion.

"Yuhao, we all bear a heavy responsibility, a responsibility that concerns the lives and deaths of countless people and the safety of a nation."

"Only if we proceed step by step can my brother completely entrust the fate of the Star Crown family to you with peace of mind."

"Only after your brother is completely bound to you can you trust the Star Crown Family without worry, right?"

After a long while, she turned her head and stared intently at Huo Yuhao, waiting for his response.

"Xu Jiujiu, I think I might have developed some feelings for you. Your sense of responsibility is truly exceptional. Well then, I wish us a pleasant collaboration in advance."

Huo Yuhao revealed a faint smile, extended his right hand, and hovered it in mid-air.

After a long while, she reached out and gently wiped the corner of her eye before stepping forward to grasp Huo Yuhao's outstretched hand.

"What a coincidence! I also started to get interested in you when you just swore an oath with your martial soul. I hope you grow up quickly and don't keep your sister waiting for too long."

Huo Yuhao felt much more relaxed when he saw Xu Jiujiu's slightly teasing expression.

Ever since Mu En announced that Huo Yuhao would succeed as the head of the Sea God Pavilion, almost everyone has been afraid of him.

Everything seemed to be done in a businesslike manner, making it difficult for Huo Yuhao to experience the joy of chatting easily with friends for a long time.

Seeing this, Manyi, who had been secretly protecting Jiujiu, smiled with satisfaction. If Jiujiu could continue to get along with Huo Yuhao like this, it wouldn't be bad.

After saying goodbye to Xu Jiujiu, Huo Yuhao returned to his hotel room. Looking at Mu En with a satisfied smile, Huo Yuhao belatedly realized what had happened.

"Old Mu, you deliberately arranged for me to meet with Xu Jiujiu today. You noticed early on that my mindset hasn't been quite right lately."

Mu En lay on the recliner that Huo Yuhao had reserved for him in his room, nodding with a smile.

"Yuhao, as the leader of the pavilion, you need to ensure that your decisions are authoritative enough to prevent others from questioning them, and you also need to have friends with whom you can chat and debate, so that you will always be motivated to do these things well."

"No one is never tired, and no one can always be on edge to fulfill their responsibilities. You are not a machine; you have to have your own life."

Huo Yuhao gradually began to understand. The mental energy he had relaxed from talking with Xu Jiujiu earlier began to fluctuate, propelling his understanding of the laws forward slowly.

As his mental energy fluctuations stabilized, Huo Yuhao's understanding of the guardianship of living beings improved significantly, and his own laws gradually reached the peak of the third-level god level.

Xu Jiujiu was walking casually through the streets of Xingluo City, no longer paying attention to whether her strides were too large or her posture was proper.

Man Yi then appeared, looking at Xu Jiujiu with a cheerful expression.

"Seeing that Princess Jiu Jiu is happy makes Grandma no longer worry about you. Be careful when Grandma is not by your side."

"I understand, Grandma Manyi. But why is it that Huo Yuhao never abuses his strength?"

"He always seemed to maintain a hidden kindness, though it wasn't very obvious, I could still feel it, but that kindness seemed somewhat out of place in this world."

After listening to the question for a long time, Manyi shook her head and replied with a touch of emotion:

"Grandma doesn't know exactly what it is. Maybe you'll be able to figure it out after you spend enough time with him."
