Douluo: The Peerless Eye of Heaven Yu Hao

Dai Huabin's heart trembled slightly, knowing that his mother was still angry about this matter.

"Don't worry, I will make arrangements later and withdraw the secret guards directly." Dai Huabin said respectfully.

The Duchess did not reply, but looked at Dai Huabin dignifiedly several times.

"Jingle Bell!"

Suddenly, a crisp sound came from one side of the hall, breaking the almost frozen atmosphere.

Chapter 11 The Reason Why the Duchess Was Jealous of Huo Yun'er

The Duchess frowned slightly and walked slowly to the place where the sound came from. Dai Huabin knew clearly that it was the ringtone of the communication soul guide.

At this time, who would still call their mother?

"Speak!" The Duchess picked up the communication soul guide and looked at it with a calm tone.

"Madam, someone from the outer palace patrol team reported that Huo Yun'er's son Dai Yuhao went to Butler Chen's residence." A cold female voice sounded.

Dai Huabin on the side raised his eyebrows instantly.

This guy didn't just run away after hurting someone.

The Duchess was silent for a moment, then said, "I understand."

After saying that, she hung up the call and turned to look at Dai Huabin. "Your group of people are doing it again? This time, the little bastards went straight to the residence of old man Chen Hongsheng."

Dai Huabin would not lie to his mother. He nodded and said, "In the past, this guy would always accept everything, but today he actually resisted and beat someone up. I thought this was a good opportunity to punish him, even if that old guy wanted to stop him."

The Duchess said in a serious tone, "Don't worry about him for now. He is just a waste of level one innate soul power. When he comes of age, I will send him to the family's management business, and then I will quietly deal with him. After all, Chen Hongsheng is a direct descendant of your grandfather and your father, so you still have to give him face. Besides, you don't have time to tease him, you might as well devote yourself to cultivation."

"My mother is right." Dai Huabin stood there respectfully.

"Go and have a rest. Zhu Lu's child will probably be here tomorrow. You should be prepared and don't give a bad first impression to the girl." A smile reappeared on the Duchess's face.

"Yes." Dai Huabin replied, then left slowly.

Perhaps it was Zhu Lu's arrival that made him stop caring about someone so much.

In the huge living room, the Duchess was the only one standing there. She sat back on the sofa and stared at the fire in the fireplace, falling into silence.

Outsiders thought that she was targeting Huo Yun'er simply out of jealousy.

But she is the daughter of the head of the Zhu family, she has a high status and her appearance is not bad at all, so why should she be jealous of a maid?

No matter how favored a maid is, she can only be a maid.

Who knew that the source of all this hatred actually came from Dai Hao himself.

That year, Dai Hao finally returned home from the border. The couple had not seen each other for a long time. It was a time when separation was better than reunion. With the evil fire surging, he naturally couldn't help it, and then he made three transactions worth more than ten billion yuan in total.

Originally, she and he were both fine, and they worked together to perfect this billion-dollar deal. But unexpectedly, after Dai Hao finished the deal and fell asleep, he mumbled and casually said, "Yun'er."

Who is Yun'er?

Isn’t that Dai Hao’s personal maid Huo Yuner?

I made a deal worth tens of billions with you, but you were thinking about other women.

No one can stand this.

Recalling what happened in the past, the Duchess clenched her fists on the sofa and her face turned ugly.

The Duchess became angrier the more she thought about this memory, but remembering that anger could make one look uglier, she forced herself to calm down, then picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.

The fragrance of grapes and oak eased the Duchess's anger. Perhaps because her youngest son had a fiancée, the Duchess also thought of her eldest son who was far away in Shrek City. Her eyes flickered and she said to herself, "Xu Jiujiu and Yaoheng are about the same age, although they are one generation apart. Should we..."

……

“Please punish me, Second Young Master…” On the carpet that was glowing with soft red light, a secret guard in a gray robe knelt on one knee.

Dai Huabin glanced at him and said, "Get up."

The gray-robed secret guard stood up obediently, but he felt a little embarrassed in his heart. He was a powerful Soul Sage and was leading fourteen Soul Emperors, but he failed to catch a guy who was not even a Soul Master. It was really embarrassing.

"Second Young Master, I don't know if that little bastard dug a hole and buried himself. Our fifteen secret guards have searched all around the Duke's Mansion but couldn't find him." The gray-robed secret guard said with a sullen face.

"Oh." Dai Huabin turned his back to the secret guards. "It's normal that you can't find him. That guy didn't escape from the Duke's Mansion at all. He ran to Butler Chen's place."

"Ah?" The gray-robed secret guard was stunned.

Then why did you ask our secret guards to go outside to find someone?

Do you enjoy the freedom of heavy rain?

Dai Huabin turned around and said, "Don't worry about this matter for now. I have another task for you."

"Please speak, Second Young Master." The gray-robed secret guard said respectfully.

Dai Huabin said: "Go and inform the secret guards I left in Shrek City to immediately stop observing Big Brother."

"As you command." The gray-robed secret guard obeyed the order without asking the reason.

"Go down." Dai Huabin waved his hand.

The gray-robed secret guard said nothing more and soon left.

"Zhu Lu, Zhu Lu, I hope you can help me. I am determined to get the position of Duke." Dai Huabin's evil eyes showed a hint of expectation under the light of the fireplace. "As for you, I will let you live a few more years for now."

At the same time, inside Luofeng Courtyard.

Huo Yuhao's body trembled as he felt the soul power in his body spreading from his abdomen to his entire body. His meridians were extremely blocked, which was one of the reasons why his cultivation progress was extremely poor.

When the soul power is surging throughout the body, if the meridians are unobstructed, it will be as smooth as using Rejoice, and the circulation will be natural. But if the meridians are blocked, the soul power will constantly stimulate the meridians when it runs, causing waves of tingling pain.

At the same time as the tingling sensation occurs, a portion of the soul power absorbed into the body for circulation will also be lost, making it impossible to completely absorb and refine it into the body.

The more severe the stinging sensation, the worse the talent is and the more soul power is lost.

From awakening his martial soul at the age of six, with an innate first-level soul power, to now being ten years and seven months old, it took a total of four years and seven months for Huo Yuhao to only raise his soul power to the seventh level.

“Such a rich soul power, it’s brought by that bowl of noodles.” Huo Yuhao didn’t care about the so-called tingling sensation. He had devoted himself to cultivation wholeheartedly. Of course, he was only using an ordinary meditation method.

Faced with the help offered by Mr. Chen, he did not dare to waste even a single bit. Even though his body felt as if many sharp thorns were piercing him, he still did not make a single sound of pain.

But beads of sweat the size of beans left his body, soaking his entire body, and his skin felt hot.

Faint ripples of soul power fluctuations spread from his body to the surroundings, gradually becoming weaker from an extremely weak level.

If someone could see through things, they would definitely be able to discover that there was a strong soul power in Huo Yuhao's body that was spreading from his abdomen to all parts of his body, like thousands of silk threads, constantly circulating and connecting inside his body.

And with this kind of perseverance and stability, Huo Yuhao's physical strength also became a little bit stronger.

When the warm flow of soul power from his abdomen ended, Huo Yuhao suddenly opened his eyes, and a ray of ice-blue light flashed from his eyes that were as bright as stars.

"It's level eight."

After shaking the calloused palm, Huo Yuhao showed a hint of smile.

According to his own estimation, if it weren't for the help of this bowl of noodles, it would take him another two months to reach level eight.

A bowl of noodles saved him two months of time in advance.

However, before Huo Yuhao could be happy for long, his expression suddenly changed...

Chapter 12: The Eye of Heaven Relying on the Sun for Cultivation

"what is this?"

Just when Huo Yuhao was still feeling grateful for having successfully raised his cultivation level by one level, suddenly, a special situation occurred. An inexplicable surge appeared in the area between his eyebrows.

This is where the Sky Eye is located. Needless to say, Huo Yuhao immediately devoted himself to observation to avoid any mistakes, otherwise he would be in tears.

Ever since the Sky Eye came out, it seemed to have been opening automatically. He was a little confused about how to open the Sky Eye. Perhaps he could take this opportunity to observe it carefully.

However, when Huo Yuhao was waiting for changes to occur, the surging feeling between his eyebrows suddenly disappeared, as if it had never existed.

This made Huo Yuhao stand there in a daze.

"Strange, I clearly felt a surge."

Huo Yuhao rubbed his brows in confusion. He just felt a very special energy pulsating in his mind, as if calling him to release his Heavenly Eye quickly.

What was that? Why did this feeling suddenly stop?

"Boy, how does it feel to have a breakthrough in cultivation?"

Suddenly, a voice interrupted Huo Yuhao's thoughts.

Huo Yuhao quickly raised his head, only to see Old Chen walking towards him with a teapot in his hand.

“Thank you.” Huo Yuhao quickly stood up and thanked him respectfully.

"No need to thank me." Mr. Chen seemed very easygoing. "Just sit down and talk. Don't stand up all the time. It makes you look young and energetic."

Huo Yuhao scratched his head and smiled, then sat back on the sofa.

“I know you’re curious about why I would help you.” Old Chen refilled his cup of hot tea, and the next moment, under Huo Yuhao’s curious gaze, he gave an answer, “The reason is very simple. Your mother saved my granddaughter’s life.”

After hearing this explanation, Huo Yuhao was obviously a little stunned.

“I won’t go into detail about what happened back then. It’s been many years.” Elder Chen looked at Huo Yuhao and asked in a serious tone, “What are you going to do next?”

Elder Chen was unwilling to talk, and Huo Yuhao would not force him to ask about what happened in the past. Seeing that the other party was talking about business, he was silent for a moment and said, "I want to leave the Duke's Mansion. In the Duke's Mansion, the Duchess and Dai Huabin are like a sharp sword, hanging over my head at any time. If I am not careful, this sword will fall and pierce me."

Elder Chen nodded in understanding, but still raised a question, "But you are only a little over ten years old. How are you going to survive in the future? Don't forget, your innate soul power is only level one. Even if you improve it to level ten, it will be difficult to obtain a soul ring without the help of your elders."

"As for you going to hunt soul beasts alone, do you know that soul beasts are not ants on the roadside that you can step on to death at will? Any soul beast is fatal to you."

"To tell you the truth, I can protect your life in the Duke's Mansion, but after you leave the Duke's Mansion, I will no longer be able to help you. I also have family in Xingluo City, and I need to have a limit to my help for you, so you can't cross that line."

“I understand everything that Elder Chen said.” Huo Yuhao took a deep breath.

Old Chen held up two fingers and said, "I'll give you two choices. First, stay in the Duke's Mansion temporarily. In a few years, I'll send you to the military camp, just like Dai Luoli. Second, leave in a few days, and leave the Duke's Mansion forever. But in the future, you will only be by your side. You can only rely on yourself."

"I choose the second one." Huo Yuhao smiled without any hesitation.

"Are you sure?" Old Chen's tone was extremely serious, and his face was full of majesty at this moment.

“I’m sure.” Huo Yuhao still had a smile on his face, but his tone was unusually firm. He was alone. Hadn’t it always been like this?

"If you choose the second option, you may lose your life at any time." Old Chen said in a deep voice.

Huo Yuhao was silent for a moment, then said, “If I was afraid of death, I would not have chosen to resist those people. I can survive the first path, but I will be nothing more than a waste. The second path is different. Maybe I can turn things around. Maybe one day I will return to the Duke’s Mansion and seek revenge on the Duchess and Dai Huabin.”

“You are such a bold thinker.” Old Chen was stunned. He didn’t expect Huo Yuhao to be so ruthless. He didn’t say much after leaving the Duke’s Mansion, and he was thinking about coming back for revenge in the future.

“Hehe.” Huo Yuhao smiled. “I have a life anyway. If I bet wrong, I will just lose my life. But what if I really turn things around?”

Old Chen shook his head. "If you can really turn things around, even if I die in the future, I will make a will in advance and let my granddaughter carve the words 'You are awesome' on my tombstone."

Huo Yuhao's mouth twitched, "Mr. Chen, you are too serious."

Old Chen smiled like an old naughty boy, "Okay, since you chose the second one, I have no objection. You can leave the Duke's Mansion in five days."

"Why five days later?" Huo Yuhao was puzzled.

Old Chen said casually, "I still have a lot of thousand-year-old soul beast meat left. I can't finish it all by myself. Please stay for five more days to help me finish some of it, so that the meat won't go bad and be thrown away."

Huo Yuhao’s expression froze instantly, and his lips moved subconsciously.

Old Chen said to himself, "It's a pity that your meridians are too blocked. This soul beast meat can't help you much except making your body stronger."

“Mr. Chen…” Huo Yuhao wanted to say something but didn’t say it.

Elder Chen said calmly, "We are all grown men, stop being so fussy. You must be tired, so go take a shower and have a rest. I will teach you something tomorrow, which may be useful to you after you leave the Duke's Mansion."

“Yes.” Huo Yuhao stood up and was about to leave the living room as if being told. But suddenly, he stopped and asked, “Mr. Chen, do you have an ice cellar for storing food?”

"Why are you asking this?" Mr. Chen was puzzled.

“Here.” Huo Yuhao took out a broken fish from his trouser pocket. “I caught this. It’s food after all. We can’t waste it.”

"There is an ice cellar in the basement, go there yourself." Old Chen raised his eyelids slightly, seeming surprised.

"Okay." Huo Yuhao nodded and left.

The Sun-Moon Empire might have had a refrigerator soul guide, but the three original empires of Douluo Continent definitely did not have one, so Huo Yuhao asked Chen Lao about the ice cellar.

After placing Youyu in the ice cellar, Huo Yuhao found a room to lie on his side, then took a bath to wash away all his fatigue. Of course, he also washed the quilt that his mother left for him.

When everything was done, he lay directly on the extremely soft bed. It had stopped raining outside, but thick dark clouds still covered the sky. Without the light, everything would be swallowed by the darkness.

The slightly cold wind flowed in from the gap in the window that was not closed tightly, blowing Huo Yuhao's hair. He looked at the ceiling, slowly raised his hand, and sighed, "I don't know what my future will be like. I hope everything goes well... Oh, by the way, I can't be a dog in this life."
