Douluo: Crossing the Yuhao Star Palace Master

Chapter 110 Hook
Huo Yuhao turned around as if waking from a dream, only to see that the gentle and graceful Zhang Lexuan and the charming and adorable Qiu'er were both looking at him, waiting for his response.

"Yes, we'll leave right away and get back to Shrek before nightfall."

Qiu'er puffed out her cheeks and frowned. She had finally found people to play with these past two days, but now they were all leaving, and she would be wandering around this dull and boring forest alone again.

"We'll come visit you again next time, okay?"

Zhang Lexuan reached out and patted Qiu'er's head. The two of them had become quite familiar with each other over the past few days and had a very good relationship; they could even be considered close friends.

Qiu'er knew she couldn't keep them, so she had to suppress her willfulness. However, she still made a request to Huo Yuhao with some dissatisfaction, "Huo Yuhao! Next time we meet, you have to cook for me for a month!"

Ever since she first tasted the meat skewers and patties grilled by Huo Yuhao, she never wanted to eat raw, unprocessed meat again. Now that the chef is leaving, how could she accept it?

Hearing Qiu'er's words, Huo Yuhao smiled and nodded quickly, saying, "I'll do whatever you say."

Seeing that he had agreed, Qiu'er's face immediately lit up with a smile, and her mood improved again.

"Well then, farewell. Senior Dream Eater, please stay here for the time being. The conditions are rather simple, please bear with us."

After saying that, Huo Yuhao's right hand flashed with a silver-gray-white light, summoning the Moonlit Death Scythe. Then, he gently slashed down in mid-air with the crystal-like scythe, and a huge gate of light slowly opened in front of him.

"This is a demiplane created by my teacher. I have already arranged accommodations for you, senior. Please bear with me until I become a Soul King and wait for my news."

Upon hearing the sound, the dream-eating beast opened its pink, jewel-like eyes for the first time, staring intently into the direction it was looking. All it saw was a deathly silence.
After a moment of silence, a soft, childlike female voice slowly rang out.

"Are you sure this demiplane is reliable?"

Huo Yuhao was prepared in advance, so he said in a serious tone, "Please rest assured, senior, my teacher's death evolved from light and will not cause you any harm."

The Dream Eater sensed something with some skepticism, and only after confirming that Huo Yuhao wasn't talking nonsense did it lower its guard a bit, break free from Qiu'er's embrace, and flutter inside.

A strange, purplish-black sun hung high in the sky, overlooking an endless expanse of pitch-black earth. A chilling aura emanated from all directions, creating a scene resembling hell.

Huo Yuhao raised his hand and pointed. Everyone looked in the direction he pointed and saw a small house made of bricks and stones not far from them.

"Senior, we have set up several magic arrays around this hut to isolate the aura of death from this place. I wonder if this will satisfy you?"

The Dream Eater flew over leisurely, flicked its long nose to gently push open the wooden door, flew straight inside, and then turned around and casually closed the door behind it.

A soft, childlike voice drifted from the small, now-closed house. "Go on, I'm going to sleep. Don't bother me unless it's absolutely necessary."

This really found a fellow sleeper for Tianmeng.
Huo Yuhao's lips twitched, and he raised his hand to rub his somewhat stiff face, replying helplessly, "Alright then, we won't disturb Senior's rest any longer."

After saying that, he took Qiu'er and Zhang Lexuan and left the demiplane.

With the final finishing touches complete and Mandala returning to his spiritual sea, Huo Yuhao and Zhang Lexuan, taking advantage of the daylight, decided not to delay any longer. After bidding farewell to Qiu'er, the two headed towards Shrek Academy.
Zhang Lexuan had wanted to ask Huo Yuhao about it since earlier. The aura of the undead demiplane had given her some doubts. Now that there was no one around except her and Huo Yuhao, she asked him.

"Will that undead demiplane affect your sanity? This kind of method looks like the ability of an evil soul master no matter how you look at it. Yuhao, I hope you can explain it to me clearly."

Huo Yuhao had anticipated that Zhang Lexuan would ask, and he had already prepared an explanation. Besides, he had nothing he couldn't say.

Apart from his past and present life, he has virtually no secrets from Zhang Lexuan, so what is there to hide?

“Sister Lexuan, you’ve met my teacher before. He created this demiplane. The ability he taught me is necromancy, but in terms of its characteristics, it’s no different from that of an evil spirit master. But please rest assured, I know the strangeness and danger of this power, and I will not use it for evil purposes.”

"I assure you that I will only use this power against my enemies and will never harm ordinary people or the innocent. If one day I break my promise to you, Sister Lexuan, just come and clean house. I trust Sister Lexuan's judgment and I trust her trust in me."

Zhang Lexuan's furrowed brows relaxed slightly, indicating that she had accepted Huo Yuhao's reply.

She quickened her pace, circled around to Huo Yuhao's front, looked up at the sky, her skirt swaying gently in the wind, and smiled as she faced the somewhat dazzling sunlight, saying, "Then it's settled. If one day you break our promise, I will hunt you down to the ends of the earth. After killing you, I will die with you."

Sunlight shone on the girl in the white dress, her long black hair danced freely in the wind, her dark eyes sparkled with gentle tenderness and a hint of decisiveness and determination, and her face was full of a smile like spring flowers in full bloom, which made the young Huo Yuhao pause in surprise.

Sharing life and death, sharing hardships and joys?
Even a wife who has been married for many years is no better than this, isn't she?
Huo Yuhao was somewhat stunned, standing there blankly staring at Zhang Lexuan, not knowing what to say.

He saw a girl, as bright as the only white moon in the long night, extend a playful little finger to him.

"Pinky promise. A senior from your inner academy told me that in her hometown, this means never going back on your word."

Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow. Although he thought this was a bit childish, he obediently extended his little finger. Their slender fingers intertwined tightly, and then their thumbs gently touched, sealing their seal.

After the pinky promise ceremony, Zhang Lexuan nodded in satisfaction, then immediately embraced Huo Yuhao without further ado, as two cicada wings of the Azure Sky Wings gently popped out from behind her.

"Don't move, I'll fly you back, that way it'll be faster."

As soon as Zhang Lexuan finished speaking, Huo Yuhao felt a soft mass tightly envelop his face, then it shook violently, carrying him rapidly into the sky, speeding towards Shrek Academy.
Even though Huo Yuhao had grown another five centimeters taller, he still looked like a child next to the tall Zhang Lexuan.
A feeling of being run over by a large vehicle suddenly welled up from the bottom of his heart.
Shame! Such a shame!
