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

Huo Yuhao took the list and glanced through it. Well... how should I put it? It was expensive, so expensive that even this near-level six blacksmith felt a bit shocked by the price.

Even the lowest-tier package costs 100,000 Gold Soul Coins, which is equivalent to one million Federal Currency, or 10,000 Contribution Points, or the value of ten Thousand-Refined Grade 1 Finished Products!

Furthermore, this bathhouse does not charge Gold Soul Coins, but only charges cultivation resources of equal value to the same amount of Gold Soul Coins!

In short... there's a reason why it's expensive. Just look at the receptionist's outfit; it's worth far more than a million gold coins.

Huo Yuhao nodded, then took out a sketch from his pocket and handed it to the girl in the blue dress. "Do you have a girl in your family who looks like the one in the sketch?"

The girl in the blue dress took the portrait from Huo Yuhao and examined it carefully. Xie Xie leaned forward curiously, wanting to see what kind of woman could make the arrogant Huo Yuhao so infatuated.

The moment Xie Xie saw the portrait clearly, his expression turned strange. The face belonged to none other than Ya Li, the Vice Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion, whom they had met once before!

Does Huo Yuhao like Ya Li, the type of woman who is a virtuous wife and loving mother?

As a shady bathhouse under the royal family's name, the girls inside are all carefully selected. There are girls with loli, mature women, and ladylike styles everywhere. Yali's appearance is not uncommon. As for her hair color, she can just wear a wig.

Fifteen minutes later, the two men walked down the stairs, clutching their lower backs.

In just fifteen minutes, each person created eight spirit-forged finished products, totaling 400,000 gold soul coins, making it the most expensive brothel they had ever visited.

Although the time was short, it was the best experience the two of them had ever had. In the past few days, they had been cultivating together, and Xie Xie had long been lusting after Ye Xinglan. This time, he specially asked a girl who looked very similar to Ye Xinglan to serve him.

Ye Xinglan is so beautiful and talented, why did she fall for that chubby Xu Baozi? I just can't understand it.

After venting their frustrations, the two didn't rush back to the hotel, but instead went into a bar for a drink.

Xie Xie took a sip of his drink, looked at Huo Yuhao in front of him, and asked thoughtfully, "Yuhao, what kind of girl do you want to marry as your wife in the future?"

"She'd be a virtuous wife and loving mother like Ya Li from Holy Spirit Douluo."

Since they were in a private room and no one could hear them, Huo Yuhao started talking directly, "I think the little princess of the Star Luo royal family is quite good. She's beautiful and has twin martial souls. With normal cultivation, she's guaranteed to become a Super Douluo, at the very least she won't hold anyone back."

Upon hearing this, Xie Xie teased, "But... according to the students of the Star Luo Royal Academy, that little princess is far from being a virtuous wife and loving mother. Her personality is extremely unconventional, and she resembles, well... the Silver Moon Douluo in his younger days."

Huo Yuhao laughed and said, "Personality doesn't matter. As long as I marry her and bring that little princess back to Douluo Continent, keeping her away from the Star Luo Empire's sphere of influence, why would I be afraid of her being willful and capricious?"

Xie Xie: "..."

You, Huo Yuhao, are truly ruthless!

You completely treat women as tools. Huo Yuhao must have been incredibly unlucky to marry you.

That's absolutely inhuman! How is this any different from a husband who's all sweetheart before marriage but abuses his wife after marriage?

Of course, this doesn't affect Xie Xie's friendship with Huo Yuhao. He's not a woman, so what's the point of engaging in such petty squabbles?

They drank for about half an hour, and seeing that it was getting completely dark, the two reluctantly returned to the Starlight Hotel.

Cultivation was out of the question, and missing a few days of cultivation wouldn't have any impact. Xie Xie lay flat on the bed, pondering his future plans.

As for his requirements for a wife, well... she should be beautiful, have decent talent, and not be a burden. He doesn't care whether she's pretty, gentle and charming, or has a queen-like aura.

The more he thought about it, the more Ye Xinglan's image appeared in his mind.

Xie Xie was very unconvinced. What exactly did Ye Xinglan see in Xu Baozi?

If Ye Xinglan had taken a liking to Huo Yuhao... no, if she had taken a liking to any of the Soul Masters, she wouldn't be so resentful. The premise of "different strokes for different folks" should be that they are well-matched in terms of social status, right?

Xie Xie grew angrier and angrier, so he took advantage of his drunkenness to leave his room and knock on Ye Xinglan's door.

dong dong dong...

Since this floor was inhabited by members of the Sea God Pavilion, Shrek Academy, and the Tang Sect delegation, Ye Xinglan did not inquire about the visitor's identity and simply opened the door.

The moment the door opened, Xie Xie kicked it open, then grabbed Ye Xinglan by the hair and dragged her into the hallway.

"Ye Xinglan, what exactly do you like about Xu Lizhi? Why do you always treat us like this? Tell me, just tell me!"

Fueled by alcohol, Xie Xie's emotions erupted at this moment.

It's inevitable for people to feel unbalanced at times, and Xie Xie is no exception. In the original story, there were quite a few women in his group, exactly four men and four women, one for each person, which was just enough. But now it's different.

As the only female member of the group, why does Ye Xinglan only flirt with Xu Baozi? Why?

Xie Xie had followed Huo Yuhao for more than three years, and his physique was far superior to that of other Soul Masters of the same level. Without using his Soul Power or Soul Skills, Ye Xinglan was no match for Xie Erbi.

Xie Erbi's voice was loud, and many members of the delegation opened their doors to watch the spectacle. When they saw Xie Xie unilaterally beating Ye Xinglan, their expressions immediately became strange.

"stop!"

Jiang Yuying quickly stepped forward and forcibly separated the two.

"Xie Xie, what did Ye Xinglan do to offend you that you would hit her like this?"

Jiang Yuying glanced at Xie Xie, then subtly glanced at Ye Xinglan behind her, her expression extremely unpleasant.

Fighting on the territory of the Star Luo Empire—isn't that just tantamount to making trouble for Shrek Academy?

Fortunately, she stepped in in time and prevented that old woman Cai Yue'er from handling the matter, otherwise... hmph, Shrek Academy's reputation would have been utterly ruined.

"I... I'm just indignant! I'm indignant that Ye Xinglan is only flirting with Xu Lizhi. Why should a female battle spirit master with considerable talent fall for a food-type male spirit master? Even if she found a food-type female spirit master, I wouldn't be like this!"

Xie Xie shouted at the top of his lungs, as if afraid no one would hear him. At this moment, the nature of the game had changed. If he, Xie Xie, couldn't have Ye Xinglan, he naturally didn't want Xu Baozi to have her either. (End of Chapter)
