In Douluo Continent, I am the mastermind behind the scenes.

Yunxi was extremely embarrassed.

In this situation, it wouldn't be right for her to speak up for Huo Tianling, nor for Huo Yuhao, nor even for Soraya.

This is a family matter, and Yunxi isn't the kind of malicious best friend who would do something as cruel as instigating a young couple to break up.

Faced with a volatile girlfriend on one side and a gentle, adorable fangirl on the other, the inexperienced Huo Dashenwang ultimately... chose to side with the latter.

Huo Yuhao said gently, "Tianling, there's really nothing between Miss Soraya and me. She's just a little fan of mine who wants to hear about my past experiences. Um... that young girl is so innocent and pure, and she came all this way, we can't just send her away. If you're worried, you can just stay by my side and watch over us while we're talking, right?"

"Fine, she's naive, she's innocent, and I'm hot-tempered. You two can live together then. I'm leaving, I'm leaving, okay?"

Huo Tianling was so angry that she laughed. She clenched her fists and made as if she was about to walk out the door.

Huo Yuhao rushed forward and hugged Huo Tianling tightly. "Tianling, listen to me, listen to me!"

"Her father is a quasi-god, and she's already come knocking on our door. It wouldn't be right to just chase her away. Doesn't she like listening to stories? Let's tell her some. Everyone gets tired of stories eventually. Besides, the situation isn't good right now. Even Star Luo City, the capital of a nation, isn't very safe. That manor lord can't possibly let Miss Soraya stay out there forever. At most, it'll only be three to five days. Can't you even tolerate it for three to five days?"

"Also, let's establish a good relationship with that manor lord now. After the external enemies are defeated, even if we can't persuade him to come out of seclusion and join our camp, at least we won't have to worry about them siding with the Ningyun Sect."

Huo Yuhao had said all the nice things he could to calm Huo Tianling down, and then he practically dragged Huo Tianling, Yunxi, and Soraya into the private room.

As for why he brought Yunxi along, well, Huo Yuhao was afraid the two women would start fighting in the private room. With Yunxi there, she could help mediate.

After all four were seated, Soraya took out a small notebook from her bosom and said thoughtfully, "Yuhao, you haven't answered my question yet. In your past life... Tang Ya was so good to you. Was the relationship between you two a little too complicated? Did you... anything happen?"

Huo Tianling: "..."

Yunxi: "..."

You call this innocent? This is clearly a seasoned prostitute!

Huo Yuhao said awkwardly, "Um... Miss Soraya, the relationship between me and Sister Xiaoya isn't as complicated as you think. You see, I'm so loyal and affectionate, how could I possibly have an ambiguous relationship with Senior Brother Beibei's wife?"

"I understand, I understand everything."

Soraya nodded, then scribbled on her notebook with a mischievous grin, making Huo Yuhao's scalp tingle.

For a moment, Huo Yuhao really wanted to snatch the notebook from Soraya's hand and see what was written on it.

But then he thought again, and decided... forget it. Anyway, Huo Yuhao already had no reputation left, so even if Soraya went around spreading rumors, it wouldn't have much of an impact on him.

Quick questions and answers, try to get Soraya away as soon as possible. Out of sight, out of mind. Women... it's better to have only one. Too many are just a nuisance.

Seeing Huo Yuhao's hesitant expression, Yunxi and Huo Tianling immediately revealed a relieved look. Their beautiful eyes subtly swept over Huo Yuhao's eyes, as if to say... "So, Huo Yuhao, you've finally met your match."

"Well... let's move on to the next question."

Soraya rubbed her hands together and said cheekily, "Yuhao, in your past life... Wang Dong and Wang Dong'er, which one did you like? Were you disappointed when you found out your good brother Wang Dong was a girl?"

Huo Yuhao pondered, "My feelings for Wang Dong are brotherly, but my feelings for Wang Dong'er are romantic. The two shouldn't be confused. When I learned that my good brother Wang Dong was a girl, I was indeed disappointed, but also a little excited. Although we can't be brothers, we can be lovers, openly spending every day together, never to be separated for three lifetimes!"

Just then, Huo Tianling suddenly grabbed Huo Yuhao's ear. "Huo Yuhao, you're something else! She even betrayed her own father, and you're still here reminiscing about the past. Look at you, you still can't forget her, huh?"

"Ouch, ouch, ouch! Tianling, that's not what I meant! That's not what I meant!"

Huo Yuhao hurriedly explained, "I was just answering Miss Soraya's question, referring to the previous life, the previous life."

Huo Tianling was too lazy to listen to his explanation, so she used both hands to frantically tear at Huo Yuhao's ears.

Soon, Huo Yuhao transformed into Big Ear TuTu.

Touching his ears, Huo Yuhao felt like crying but had no tears left. He could only hope that Soraya would stop talking about this kind of topic.

This time it was pulling ears, but who knows what it might pull next time.

A flawless version after careful inspection!

Soraya didn't take the playful bickering between the young couple to heart. Looking at Huo Yuhao, who was covering his ears, she continued, "Yuhao, in the previous life, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion didn't hesitate to transform into a human, taking the name Wang Qiu'er, and travel to Shrek City, just to be by your side. In this life, I've come to Star Luo City to chat with you, bearing a face that's eight or nine tenths similar to Wang Qiu'er's. Don't you feel a sense of déjà vu, like Qiu'er has come to your side? Just like that song says."

As she spoke, Soraya suddenly stood up and began to dance gracefully in front of the three of them.

Who... brought you to my side? It was that... round, bright moon, bright moon...

As the daughter of a quasi-god, Soraya may not be outstanding in other aspects, but as a girl, her dancing and singing are definitely at the top of Douluo Continent.

The three were so engrossed in Soraya's graceful dance that Huo Yuhao didn't know how much time had passed before he came to his senses and saw... Huo Tianling and Yunxi staring at him with ill-intentioned eyes.

Ah this...

Huo Yuhao subconsciously touched his ear, then revealed an expression that was worse than crying. He turned his gaze to Soraya and said, "Miss Soraya, could you... could you please ask a different question? I'm right here, so it's not easy to answer."

"Oh well."

Soraya nodded, and just as she was about to ask another question, Huo Tianling, who was standing to the side, became unhappy.

Huo Tianling stretched out her right hand and pinched Huo Yuhao's lower back several times viciously. "Tell me, tell me! Miss Soraya traveled all the way to Star Luo City to find you, didn't you get that feeling of Miss Qiu'er throwing herself into your arms in your past life?" (End of this chapter)
