Peerless: Tang San, this time Huo Yuhao is the attacker.

Huo Yuhao's intimate words and actions towards Xiao Xiao just now were all deliberate.

The previous entry suggested that it was because his promise to Xiao Xiao to give up the soul bone moved her.

Xiao Xiao's feelings for him deepened, which is why the entry prompt appeared.

Therefore, Huo Yuhao wanted to replicate the entry's hint again through physical contact like rubbing cheeks and verbal ambiguity like using a token of love.

However, the result was obviously a failure.

Because there weren't enough samples, Huo Yuhao couldn't determine whether his direction was correct.

But compared to the previous situation where we could only wait passively, it's already very fortunate that a direction has emerged.

"Let's try increasing the intensity later and see the results."

Watching Huo Yuhao's retreating figure, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but freeze for a moment, feeling inexplicably empty inside.

Is she mentally unhealthy? She always felt that the "token of love" Huo Yuhao mentioned earlier wasn't a token of friendship.

The blush on Xiao Xiao's face gradually faded, leaving only a faint pink blush. She subconsciously turned her gaze to the direction Huo Yuhao had just pointed.

"Wang Dong, Yuhao just asked me to give him whale glue, right?"

"How about I buy it? After all, Yuhao gave me a soul bone, so I should at least give something in return."

Wang Dong looked eager to try, but she didn't want Xiao Xiao to buy any tokens of love.

"That won't do!" Xiao Xiao immediately refused, then realized she had overreacted and quickly added:

"It's as if Yuhao didn't give me a soul bone. Besides, Yuhao told me to buy one. Wang Dong, why don't you go buy something else?"

"Alright then." Wang Dong followed Xiao Xiao to the whale glue display case with disappointment in her eyes. Xiao Xiao's words were completely reasonable, and she couldn't find a reason to refute them.

"Millennial whale glue... According to our assessment, it has weathered over a period of time and deteriorated slightly. Although the weathering has reduced its effectiveness, it can still play a certain role."

Xiao Xiao read out the words written next to the display case, met Wang Dong's gaze, and the two looked at each other for a moment.

"Will consuming this whale gel actually increase physical strength instead of causing stomach upset?"

Looking at the dark, murky thing in the display case, which was completely different from the golden, crystal-like whale glue she remembered, Wang Dong couldn't help but feel suspicious.

"Maybe? Perhaps?" Xiao Xiao wasn't sure, but then a thought suddenly flashed through her mind, and she clapped her hands together.

"I understand! Yuhao has mental detection; he must have used it to see something."

"Is that so?" Wang Dong was starting to lose confidence.

"That must be it. I'll go pay first." Xiao Xiao, holding the purple card, ran to Huo Yuhao's side and said to the waitress behind the counter:

"Hello, I'd like to buy that piece of Millennium Whale Glue."

"Okay, no problem." The waitress took Xiao Xiao's purple card, confirmed it, registered Xiao Xiao's information, and then returned the card to Xiao Xiao with a sweet smile.

"Miss Xiao, please wait a moment. We will collect the whale glue shortly and hand it over to you in about five minutes."

Xiao Xiao put away the purple card, nodded, and walked to the side with Huo Yuhao. She brought her red lips close to Huo Yuhao's ear and whispered something very intimate:

"Yuhao, did you use your mental detection to discover the anomaly inside that whale glue?"

"That's right, Xiao Xiao, you're so smart. Actually, that piece of whale glue isn't a thousand years old, it's ten thousand years old, which is why it's that color."

"Ten thousand years!" Xiao Xiao covered her mouth in surprise, her eyes filled with no doubt, only the excitement of successfully finding a bargain.

Soon, Huo Yuhao saw someone put away the whale glue in the display case, and Xiao Xiao was led into a small room deep inside by a waiter.

Wang Dong, who had been wandering around for a while without finding anything suitable to give Huo Yuhao, also came over to wait for Xiao Xiao together.

A few minutes later, Xiao Xiao returned to the two of them with light steps, presenting a small ring as if it were a treasure.

Huo Yuhao also picked up the ring and scanned it with his soul power. Inside were whale glue and a user manual.

It has to be said that the service at Jubaoge is truly exceptional, and they even included a level-one storage soul tool as a bonus. Although it's only worth a few dozen gold soul coins, it gives a very good impression.

The three of them strolled around the Treasure Pavilion for a while longer, and after seeing many unique exhibits, they walked out of the city satisfied.

When Shrek City was reduced to a mere outline in his field of vision, Huo Yuhao activated his mental detection, creating a detection circle with a diameter of 170 meters.

This is the maximum range without affecting his strength.

Huo Yuhao's normal mental detection range is only 85 meters in radius, but now it has increased to 170 meters. This is the power of the [Master of the Mind].

Although the distance only doubled, the actual area explored was four times larger.

Huo Yuhao grasped Wang Dong's slender, soft hand, and their soul power merged. At the same time, the detection range exceeded two hundred meters, and the energy consumption was reduced by half.

This is what makes a Soul Master—in some ways, they completely disregard the law of conservation of energy.

"Yuhao, aren't you being a little too cautious? Although we're outside the city, it's still under the jurisdiction of Shrek Academy. No one would dare to make a move here."

Feeling the vast new field of vision that had appeared in his mind, Wang Dong said casually.

"With your Soul Resurrection Master skills, you're a typical gambler. You wouldn't survive a day in the Star Dou Great Forest." Xiao Xiao looked at Wang Dong with deep disdain.

"Hmph, I'm just stating the facts, okay?" Wang Dong said nonchalantly. "If we get attacked later, I'll call you 'sister' for the next month!"

"You're younger than me, so you should call me 'older sister'," Xiao Xiao said with a hint of disdain.

"Enough talk, dare to bet? If you lose, you'll have to call me Brother Dong for the next month!" Wang Dong's eyes were arrogant, clearly extremely confident.

"Fine! Let's bet!" Xiao Xiao said through gritted teeth. She wasn't really confident, but seeing Wang Dong putting on such a show, she couldn't help but agree.

For the rest of the time, Wang Dong maintained a confident smile until the mental detection returned six powerful fluctuations of soul power.

"Yuhao, there's killing intent directed at you from this direction."

The voice of the Ice Emperor rang in Huo Yuhao's mind. Without hesitation, he abandoned the exploration in other directions and focused on what was ahead.

Sure enough, they detected six powerful fluctuations of soul power about three hundred meters ahead, their killing intent aimed directly at the three of them.

So-called killing intent is actually the outward manifestation of mental power, a form of fluctuation of mental power, similar to the pressure of a strong person, but unlike pressure, it can not be directly felt.

Although Hyotei is not good at mental power, with nearly 400,000 years of cultivation, her mental power is at the level of a Super Douluo.

In her perception, the murderous intent emanating from those lurking assassins was as dazzling as the sun in the night.

"Follow my instructions in a moment."
