Chapter 159 Long Qiu'er: I'll go with you
Although they hadn't had much contact, Huo Yuhao believed that Dai Hao wasn't the kind of person who would sit idly by and wait for death; he would definitely seize any opportunity to find a way to break the deadlock.
The simplest and most effective way is to find Huo Yun'er and then publicly announce that she is Dai Hao's legal wife. If Huo Yun'er really falls for him, then all the previous plans will have been in vain.
Huo Yun'er's smile froze, she took half a step back, and lowered her head slightly in frustration.
"—It's been so many years, I've lied to myself enough, I don't want to see him again. I promise you, that won't happen, don't worry."
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The backup plan left by Bailidu back then finally took effect. If it weren't for using the power of emotions to modify Huo Yun'er's feelings, in this land where the god of love fell, it would have been almost a pipe dream to change a woman's romantic mindset.
When Huo Yuhao went upstairs, he found Long Qiu'er, wearing a nightgown, leaning against his bedroom door.
She replied matter-of-factly, "When are we leaving? I want to go too."
"Oh, is Miss Qiu'er going too? The Body Sect doesn't seem to be suitable for you, does it?"
Long Qiu'er glanced at him indifferently, pouting slightly with a hint of arrogance. "I'm going to keep an eye on you and see if you're neglecting your duties. Don't forget what you promised the master in the Star Dou Great Forest."
Huo Yuhao blinked twice, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "—Alright, I'll ask the Poison Sect Master if we can bring one more person. Oh, by the way, please come in."
Long Qiu'er smiled contentedly and casually sat on Huo Yuhao's bed. "Although I shouldn't say much about your life plans, I must say that you did the right thing by leaving Shrek Academy. As for going to the Body Sect—I have reservations."
Huo Yuhao picked up a cup and poured her a glass of water. "By the way, I heard that the Body Sect once hunted down seven 100,000-spirit beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, even awakening the strongest group of ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest and causing a beast tide. Does Miss Qiu'er know about this?"
Long Qiu'er nodded silently, "It was probably two thousand years ago. The two sides fought a great battle, and both suffered heavy losses. But to be honest, those humans were indeed very strong. The one who led them even had physical abilities comparable to Xiong Jun."
Now it was Huo Yuhao's turn to be shocked. "Huh? Really?! This can't be!"
Among the ten ferocious beasts, the strongest is Di Tian, which is undisputed. However, the one with the strongest physical attack and defense is Xiong Jun, ranked sixth.
Di Tianqiang is strong overall; the Black Dragon King's bloodline endows him with an almost indestructible and powerful physique. However, in terms of physical defense, Xiong Jun, who has the Golden Behemoth bloodline, is superior to him.
A human whose physical abilities are comparable to Xiong Jun's! Is that even possible?
[It's stated in the original novel that Xiong Jun's defense is even higher than Di Tian's. Then there's the Body Sect's innate secret technique, the Flawless Golden Body, which is said to grant the ability to create gods upon mastery. It's like an unkillable cockroach, with inexhaustible stamina, capable of engaging in a war of attrition with three quasi-gods. I personally think the Body Sect must have already possessed this secret technique during the Douluo Continent II era; otherwise, how could an ordinary level 99 character withstand a few blows from Di Tian or Xiong Jun?]
As for the three 100,000-year soul rings that Poison Undying possessed, they might have been upgraded during the second awakening of his original martial soul, or they might have come from sea beasts. Otherwise, why would Mu En have three, Poison Undying three, and Long Xiaoyao at least two—why would the Star Dou Great Forest allow these guys to cause such havoc?
Long Qiu'er took a sip of water. "Otherwise, do you think Di Tian, with his temper, would have let those guys go? The leader was practically an unkillable cockroach. He single-handedly held off Xiong Jun and the Ten Thousand Demon King, buying the other Body Sect disciples a chance to retreat. In the end, Di Tian could only severely injure him. Killing him would probably cost a lot. You should be able to learn a lot there."
Is the Body Sect really that strong?
Thinking of the powerful aura emanating from the sect leader known as "Poison Undying," Huo Yuhao felt a sense of anticipation.
"Although the people from the Body Sect acted according to their own sense of right and wrong, they were at least upright and honest. They didn't go to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt 100,000-year-old soul beasts after that. It's just that group of guys from Shrek Academy—"
Speaking of Shrek Academy, Long Qiu'er clenched her fists, her words filled with disgust. "Those people always stand on high righteousness to criticize others, saying that the Body Sect slaughtered many soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, but they didn't necessarily kill fewer!"
"A guy with the Martial Soul of the Holy Dragon of Light has been killing three 100,000-year-old Soul Beasts of the Light attribute in our Star Dou Great Forest! They even kidnapped my people to use as exam material for their students!"
During this time, Miss Long Qiu'er did not stay in Xingluo City, but traveled to other large human cities for research and exploration as much as possible, so she learned a lot.
Huo Yuhao's lips twitched a few times. He knew this; Shrek Academy used soul beasts as the standard for assessing the new students' advancement during the outer academy's assessment. He had heard that Shrek Academy had spent a lot of money to raise those soul beasts.
This is a classic case of wasting money and not doing anything productive—no wonder Shrek Academy students can even sit at the same table with evil spirit masters in the Star Dou Great Forest—
After chatting for a while, Long Qiu'er heard her mother's voice from downstairs, so she went back to her room.
Why are people coming so late?
Thinking this, Huo Yuhao opened the door. He recognized the person who came in; it was one of Xu Jiujiu's personal maids.
A maid handed over an exquisite box, a polite smile on her face. "This is a gift from Her Highness the Princess to Marquis Lingbing. Her Highness wishes Marquis Lingbing a bright future."
Huo Yuhao felt a warmth in his heart; she was truly thoughtful and considerate.
"Thank you, Your Highness! Yuhao will repay your great kindness in the future."
After the maid left, Huo Yuhao returned to his room and examined the exquisite box.
A gift? What could it be?
Huo Yuhao opened the box.
After taking out several brightly colored gems and ancient books, he saw the "gift" hidden at the bottom of the box.
"?!"
Upon seeing the black stockings and milky-white high heels that still carried a faint fragrance, Huo Yuhao's pupils suddenly contracted, and his face instantly froze into a look of shock.
Huo Yuhao was very familiar with these two items. Weren't these the underwear that Xu Jiujiu wore at the ball just now?
Huo Yuhao was a little confused. What was going on? Wasn't this supposed to be a gift for him? Why was it in a box? Did they accidentally put it in the wrong place?
Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao's expression became a little strange. There was still the unique fragrance and lingering warmth of Xu Jiujiu on it.
"Are they using this to test their cadres? Which cadre couldn't withstand such a test?"
Although he said that, Huo Yuhao still carefully put away the gift that Xu Jiujiu had given him.
