Douluo Continent: I, Huo Yuhao, am the Master of Spirit

Chapter 221 Orange: "I will offer my loyalty!"

"it's me."

Medemos strode aggressively onto the Soul Arena in Xilu City, his golden eyes gleaming slightly.

He looked at the Soul Arena in Xilu City with a sense of nostalgia. Although it was much simpler than the one at Shrek Academy, it still held many memories for him.

"Wait a minute? That's Medemus?!"

"Maidemus? He's gone back to Xiru City!"

"Haha, the pride of our Xilu City is back!"

"Maidemus!"

"Madmus!!"

"Madmus!!"

As Medmos slowly walked onto the fighting stage, all the spectators in the entire arena began to chant Medmos's name in unison.

The sounds from all directions converged into a single force, causing a slight tremor to be felt throughout the Great Soul Arena.

Xiao Hongchen's heterochromatic eyes widened, her tone filled with surprise.

"Madmus?! Didn't you go to Shrek Academy?"

Medemos stretched his shoulders and said:
"I had a few days off."

"Come back to Xilu City and take a look."

Xiao Hongchen smiled and said:

How did you know I was in the Soul Arena?

Ignoring the deafening cheers of the bloodthirsty crowd around him, Medemos calmly addressed Xiao Hongchen:

"Your sister, Meng Hongchen, brought us here. She said you were fighting spirits here."

"I was bored, so I came over here to take a look."

Xiao Hongchen twisted his neck, making a crisp sound, and his smile grew even brighter.

"In that case, let's have a match!"

"It's been so long since we played together!"

"I feel terrible all over!"

"This is the perfect opportunity to show you my newly improved soul tool!"

The referee of the Great Soul Arena came to the center and looked at Maidemus and Xiao Hongchen with sad expressions on their faces.

He seemed to see again that day, the scene of his battle arena collapsing, and amidst the rousing cheers of the audience, he whispered:

"Hey, you two, go easy on me this time."

"I'll treat you two to dinner later."

Xiao Hongchen waved his hand, his face completely indifferent.

"What are you afraid of?!"

"The Battle Arena collapsed, I'll pay for its repair."

"I'm not short of money, buddy."

Seeing that both players were like this, the referee didn't say anything, but immediately waved his hand and said:

"I'm familiar with all the rules."

"Then, let the fighting begin!"

Xiao Hongchen revealed a sly smile, like a card dealer, as over a hundred metal spheres danced around his body before quickly transforming into soul-guided cannons.

Many of the soul-guided cannons clearly show structural features, indicating that Xiao Hongchen has improved the soul-guided devices based on his knowledge.

More than a hundred soul-guided devices enveloped Xiao Hongchen like a metal hedgehog; the sheer number and maneuverability of these soul-guided cannons were far beyond what He Caitou could match.

If it weren't for Bai E and his group this year, Shrek Academy's outer court would truly have no one who could compare to Xiao Hongchen.

Medemos's eyes revealed seriousness. He instantly activated his first and second soul skills, and the scarlet flames were highly compressed into scarlet crystals. The ultimate power flowed within his body, and his entire body was enveloped in golden-red flames.

At this moment, half of the arena was crimson belonging to Medemos, and the other half was gold belonging to Xiao Hongchen, with their auras clashing fiercely.

The entire Great Soul Arena fell silent, awaiting the exciting battle to come.

…………

"Pain! Pain! Pain!"

"Dream, don't film that place!"

Backstage at the Soul Arena, Meng Hongchen patted Xiao Hongchen's shoulder with a helpless expression, making him wince in pain.

"Who told you to play so hard?"

"We haven't had any intense fighting for months. Aren't you worried about getting hidden injuries from this sudden exertion?"

Feng Jin smiled gently beside them, then summoned her martial soul and used her first soul skill on Xiao Hongchen and Maidemos.

Xiao Hongchen felt the inexhaustible life force within his body, as well as the intense itching from his wounds, and couldn't help but sigh.

"No matter how many times I experience it, I will always be amazed by Feng Jin's healing soul skill."

Meng Hongchen approached Feng Jin, her signature white side ponytail swaying slightly, and said:
"By the way, didn't you guys go to Shrek Academy?"

"Why are you back today?"

Bai Er patted Medemos on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"I was given an assessment by the school today, and they gave us two days off afterward, so I came back here to visit."

Xiao Hongchen said after hearing this:
"I know it must be the Shrek Academy's reserve team selection without you having to explain in detail."

"You're all inside, right?"

Bai E nodded slightly.

After feeling that his injuries had almost healed, Xiao Hongchen stood up and said:
"That's good!"

"Let's have another round of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament this year!"

“In a one-on-one fight, I am indeed no match for Medemos.”

"But I won't lose in a team fight."

"You lot better watch out!"

Just then, Feng Jin, holding Meng Hongchen and Xia Die's hands, said:

"Let's go, it's been a long time since we've been back to Xilu City."

Let's go grab a bite together!

Meng Hongchen was stroking the shadowy cat in Xia Die's arms at this moment and said:

"Okay!"

"It just so happens that Xiao and I will be returning to the Sun Moon Empire around tomorrow afternoon."

Let's go out for a meal together.

"Also, Xiaodie, your cat is so fat! What does it eat?"

Upon hearing the negative comments, the Shadow Cat opened its eyes, glanced at Meng Hongchen, and then turned its head away from her.

Xia Die stroked the Shadow Cat's round, large head, her voice ethereal and melodious.

"I don't know about this either."

"It is my father and my sister Su Tong who are feeding it."

"However, I plan to control its diet and make it exercise more."

The Shadow Cat trembled slightly, then jumped off Xia Die's arms with a kick of its paws. It gently rubbed its big cat head against Xia Die's calf and then made a squeaking sound.

"Meow~"

A captivating smile appeared on Xia Die's indifferent face. She crouched down slightly, stroked its fur, and said, "No, that won't do."

"You really need to lose weight."

"The clothes I made for you a few months ago probably don't fit anymore."

"Your father also told you to lose weight."

The shadow cat stopped grabbing and lay on its side on the ground, no longer wanting to move.

Xia Die hugged it back to her chest, stood up and looked at everyone.

Seeing that everyone agreed to the idea of ​​a get-together, Bai'e happily led the group toward the streets of Xilu City.

On the street, Bai E marveled at the development of Xilu City. Soul-guided devices could be seen everywhere, and there were even miniature soul-guided all-terrain vehicles used for cleaning speeding through the alleys.

The surrounding shop signs are now displayed on screens, and many shops sell a large number of everyday soul tools.

In the distance, there was even a large shopping mall called RT-Mart, with people coming and going at the entrance!
The surrounding buildings were getting taller and taller, and most of the pedestrians on the road were unfamiliar faces, probably ordinary people who had just moved to Xilu City in the last few months.

"Wow, Xiru City is even more prosperous than Shrek City now!"

"It's a pity that we can't see the stars in the sky from here."

Feng Jin spun around, looking at the city of Xilu, which resembled a modern metropolis.

The colorful neon lights on the ground created light pollution in the sky, blocking the light from the stars. This can be considered a regret brought about by development.

Xiao Hongchen looked at the scene in Xilu City and compared it with Mingdu, but in the end he said nothing.

During this period, he witnessed Xilu City enter a period of rapid development, with a large number of inexpensive soul tools enriching the lives of Xilu City residents.

The economic development driven by the Soul Guidance Factory attracted countless chambers of commerce and ordinary people seeking a living.

In other cities, people would probably be worried about food by now, but Xilu City doesn't have that problem at all.

The city has been expanding rapidly and is expected to become a megacity in just a few years.

"This is the birthplace of the soul tool revolution; soul tool machines and soul tool factories are all located here."

"This place can be described as the wholesale center for soul tools in the Douluo Three Kingdoms, so the economy is naturally booming!"

Bai E nodded, a sunny smile spreading across his face. He was also very happy to see his hometown developing rapidly.

"But why are there so many maid cafes around here?"

"You can see one on every other street."

"And the maids here are all so pretty!"

Xiao Hongchen was speechless at the question; he couldn't answer it.

However, he quite liked these maid cafes; the service was good, and the coffee was delicious.

"Hmm, maybe the higher-ups in Xilu City like these?"

Feng Jin, holding Xia Die's hand, looked at the maid cafes and said:

"Butterfly! Let's go in and try it next time!"

"It looks great!"

Xia Die hesitated for a moment. She didn't like crowded places and was a bit socially awkward, but seeing the sparkle in Feng Jin's eyes, she finally nodded and said:

"Ah."

Bai Er stared at the crossroads for a long time, then excitedly pointed in one direction and said:

"The restaurant we usually go to should be over there!"

Xiao Hongchen's lips curled slightly upward, revealing a confident smile as he said:
"What are you waiting for?"

"Let's go straight there, it's on me today!"

Eat whatever you like!

…………

In one of the few private rooms in a restaurant in Mingdu, a handsome blond man looked out at the unique night view of Mingdu through a huge floor-to-ceiling window.

"The night in Mingdu is truly tranquil yet dazzling."

"Right, Miss Orange?"

Behind the blond man stood a beautiful woman, whose once bright eyes were now dull and lifeless.

"Otto, what have I given up for you to let me return to the Crown Prince's residence?"

Otto smiled and turned away from the night sky of Mingdu.

"Whether or not you can return to the Crown Prince's residence is a matter that only His Highness can decide."

"I………"

Orange interrupted Otto, saying:
"I know you can do it!"

Otto showed no displeasure at being interrupted. He casually picked up a glass of red wine from the table beside him, approached Orange, and said:

"Since Miss Orange is so eager, I'll be frank."

"can."

“I can let you return to the Crown Prince’s residence, or even let you join the military.”

"I will give you enough power to avenge your enemy Dai Hao and the Star Luo Empire."

"But what can you offer me?"

Orange trembled, staring intently at Otto as she said:
"you………"

Otto interrupted her, his tone confident.

"How do I know?"

"Heh, what's the secret?"

"Something that can be found out with a simple investigation."

"Also, Miss Orange, your eyes seem unable to hide any secrets."

"Remember to practice in advance next time, and don't wear your heart on your sleeve."

"It comes down to the same question: what can you offer me?"

Otto handed the red wine in his hand to Orange. Orange's eyes narrowed slightly, and she tremblingly accepted the wine.

What's in here? Poison?

Otto stopped looking at her and turned to admire the night view of Mingdu once again.

"Maybe yes, maybe no."

"It depends on what you think."

Orange's throat moved; she had no way out, she wanted revenge!
She tilted her head back, downed the red wine in one gulp, and then said, word by word:

"I will dedicate my loyalty to you!"

Otto looked at the orange with slight interest. The people in this world weren't very bright, but they were certainly very resourceful.

"Go back and wait."

"I will arrange for you to go to the place you most want to go."

Orange bowed to Otto and then left.

Otto picked up the glass she had just drunk from and watched her retreating figure.

"That's why I say, Miss Orange, you can't keep a secret."

"Is it revenge? Or ambition?"

"really interesting."
