Douluo Continent: Angel Saint Huo Yuhao

Chapter 170 Hidden dangers
"Um, I actually don't think these formalities are important. And I don't like feeling like I'm being put on a pedestal."

Seeing the almost frozen atmosphere between the two, Huo Yuhao spoke up in time, interrupting the explosion that was gradually building up in the silence: "Just treat each other as friends in normal times, there's no need to be so serious."

"... "

Yu Mengdi lowered her eyebrows: "So, His Holiness the Holy Son is willing to withdraw the order given to Nana?"

"This is different..."

Huo Yuhao's mouth twitched.

If he dares to withdraw the order now, Nana will dare to launch a night raid tonight, and who knows how many more of these messy things will happen from now on.

He simply couldn't handle it.

"Is it different?"

Yu Mengdi shook her head: "The master-servant relationship is just a microcosm. Does the Holy Son know who is in charge of the daily activities of those Holy Servants? Who leads the tutoring? How are Teacher Xuan and Sister Ziyan's arrangements implemented?"

"To take another step back, why is it that only Nana usually comes to see you? When there are important matters to report, everything is always kept simple. How are those complicated and trivial matters handled? How can the servants maintain efficient communication and support each other to the greatest extent possible?"

Listening to Yu Mengdi's almost old-fashioned rambling, Huo Yuhao subconsciously glanced at the shadow at his feet.

The communication between people, and the operation of those forces, seemed to be much more complicated than he had imagined.

Nana was like a true shadow, putting in a lot of effort behind his back... Seven holy servants could be squeezed into one school elimination round, only a fool would believe that she didn't play a part in it!
"A well-functioning force cannot lack structure, identity, and rules."

Yu Mengdi repeated what she had learned from the academy like an old man: "A relationship like that between the Holy Son and the Ghost is the simplest kind of 'power,' and it still requires all three to coexist."

The structure is vertical, the roles are master and servant, and the rule is that orders must be obeyed.

"So, according to you, even if I'm unwilling, I have to act like I'm in a position of authority? And there have to be rules to maintain order..."

Huo Yuhao was not stupid, so he naturally understood what she wanted to say.

—But there's still that mental hurdle I can't quite get over. Even if I set aside the angel, there's still the Duke's mansion blocking my way.

The Duke's mansion was truly like a world, with a strict hierarchy and obedience to rules. Whenever it came to unconventional interpersonal relationships, he would always think of this aspect.

Even including...

feeling.

Thinking of a certain guy, a fierce glint flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

“That’s right. Since you intend to develop a power and gather angel soul masters, you must sit on the throne… even if it’s just as a symbol.”

Yu Mengdi was naturally unaware of Huo Yuhao's emotional fluctuations, and simply continued according to her own considerations: "At least in this world, in this era, and in our own time, this is necessary."

"Also~"

Yu Mengdi glanced at Ye Guyi with amusement. Although the two had slightly different personalities, it wasn't difficult for them to figure out each other's thoughts: "You just can't accept this form, right? How about bowing instead?"

"Forehead."

Ye Guyi's gaze began to wander: "I'll try my best?"

After hesitating for a long time, Ye Guyi finally overcame her psychological barrier, put on a respectful posture, and slowly bowed, clearly calling out, "Holy Son."

……

"Bright yet chilling."

An elderly man entered the familiar, gloomy courtyard. He stood in the center of the courtyard, looking at the plants on the trellis, seemingly talking about the neglected plants or the lingering scent deep underground.

Although Huo Yuhao returned to clean up the place after dealing with the elder, the subtle flaws could not be hidden from the current Buddha.

"To be able to unleash such destructive power in the Fourth Ring... that's probably unique in history, isn't it? The interesting kid Mu En was talking about can only be you." Withdrawing his spiritual power that had been probing into the ground, Long Xiaoyao raised his hand and waved it lightly, looking quite refreshed.

An invisible force swept away the entire courtyard in an instant, penetrating deep into the soil and crushing all remaining traces and energy.

After doing all that, he seemed to feel it wasn't enough, so he lightly stomped his foot again.

A tremor like an earthquake swept across an area of ​​ten miles in an instant, causing the surrounding streets to sink to an imperceptible level. A massive flow of earth and rock filled the area, completely burying the enormous cathedral and its passageways hidden deep underground.

"Evening Water..."

After taking one last look at the courtyard, Long Xiaoyao sighed deeply, his eyes filled with hidden pain and desolation: "When will you finally understand?"

It was those evil spirit masters who ruined her life, yet now they've made developing the Holy Spirit Cult their life's goal.

With a Limit Douluo who has reached the pinnacle of the continent in charge, who knows what will happen in the future.

"To rule the world? Or to destroy everything?"

Long Xiaoyao slowly swayed out of the courtyard like an ordinary, down-on-his-luck old man, his hands behind his back and his sleeves twirling.

If that day really comes, will he be able to steel himself and do the right thing?

"Ok?"

Before he even turned out of the alley and onto the main street, Long Xiaoyao was startled and suddenly looked up at the faint light in the distance.

bright?

No… it seems that the attribute of the main body is not light, but something else… it’s the divine attribute!
"Another Angelic Martial Soul with different attributes has appeared?"

Long Xiaoyao, who had just finished wrapping things up, turned pale: "How dare you expose yourself in front of everyone."

Although there is some information gap involved, the Holy Spirit Cult is going to make some moves in Mingdu again!
If it weren't for that Zhongli kid bringing people to meet Xu Tianran, he wouldn't have been in such a hurry to destroy the clues—although now it seems like it was all for nothing.

"A titled evil spirit master."

Long Xiaoyao gave a wry smile: "Can you really stop them?"

The bright lights in the city caused a sensation, and the angelic glow was so intense it almost reached the vicinity of the palace; it was impossible to hide.

It won't be long before those things make their move in secret.

……

"Another angel has appeared?"

Amidst her busy work, Jing Hongchen glanced at Lin Jiayi, who had rushed over to deliver the news, and stopped working on the mechanical blueprints in her hand: "Are you sure your senses aren't wrong? How could there be so many Angel Soul Masters!"

"It's absolutely true!"

Lin Jiayi replied, somewhat exasperated, "The commotion outside the arena is so great that it's interfering with the game. At least several hundred people besides me have recognized that thing."

"How many people did you say?!"

Upon hearing this, Jing Hongchen's expression suddenly changed, and he slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly.

"Several...hundreds of people."

have to.

After confirming several times, Jing Hongchen slumped back into his chair, somewhat dejectedly: "It's alright. Soon there won't be any angels left in the Sun and Moon Realm."
