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

Chapter 257 "You're awake? This is Mother's Drowned Spring, drink from it."

"My lord, I apologize. I was too busy the other day and forgot to reply to your message."

While Xu Jiawei and Xu Jiujiu were discussing the future of the Star Luo Empire in the study, Di Tian was also facing his own trials.

Gu Yuena was holding a cup of Snow King Ice City pearl milk tea in her hand, taking small sips.

Behind her, a blond-haired pup rolled his eyes and sneered at Di Tian:
"Busy? Hmph, I bet you've been out gallivanting somewhere."

"They don't respect their mistress at all, unlike me, who only feels sorry for her."

Di Tian's fists hardened as he looked at Gu Qiu'er's smug expression and disgusting squeaking voice as she hid behind Gu Yuena.

However, he couldn't physically discipline the child in front of Gu Yuena.

This naturally evil mythical beast must have been possessed by some evil spirit! After Gu Yuena leaves, Di Tian will personally use the Black Dragon Belt to pull that evil spirit out!

She seemed to sense Di Tian's dangerous gaze, and shrank behind Gu Yuena, only sticking out her head and sticking her tongue out at Di Tian.

Gu Yuena sighed, patted the head of the little golden retriever behind her, and said:

"You two stop messing around."

"I know the details."

"The Demon King said that you beat them up the day before yesterday and also met the Water Dragon King."

"So, what brings you lot to Xingluo City?"

"There must still be ferocious beasts guarding the Lake of Life. Don't let others steal our home."

帝天的拳头再次硬了，这一次不是针对帝皇瑞兽，而是针对万妖王，这颗舔树，居然敢越级打小报告，真是倒反天罡！看来揍的还是不够狠！

"Please rest assured, my lord."

“A spirit remains guarding the Lake of Life.”

"As a ferocious beast, its strength is quite impressive."

"Moreover, there are still a large number of Beast Kings in the core area, so there shouldn't be any problems."

Gu Yuena looked on with a puzzled expression, tilted her head, and spoke with a hint of doubt.

"Hmm? Who is the demon spirit?"

Is there such a person in the Star Dou Great Forest?

"How come I've never heard of this before?"

Di Tian suddenly realized that the demon spirit had never shown its face in front of the master. In fact, if Zi Ji hadn't reminded him, he would have forgotten that there was such a ferocious beast in the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Um, the demon spirit is the tenth ranked beast among the ten most ferocious beasts."

"Because of their low profile, many Beast Kings don't even know that the Demon Spirit is also a ferocious beast of the Star Dou Great Forest."

“During the time you emerged from seclusion, the demon spirit was in seclusion, so you did not see him.”

"As for why we came to Xingluo City."

"It's because the Star Luo Royal Family invited us here to watch the Continental Advanced Soul Master Competition a while ago."

"Essentially, these humans want to win us over to fight against the Sun and Moon Empire."

"However, we also need the Star Luo Empire's cooperation in establishing the Spirit Transmission Tower, so we accepted the invitation."

"We have already reached a preliminary agreement on the general direction of cooperation during this period."

"The Star Luo Empire has agreed to enact a law prohibiting Soul Masters from hunting Soul Beasts."

"........."

Di Tian recounted the results of their discussions to Gu Yuena in detail. Gu Yuena listened attentively, pondering as she spoke, and then said:
"Thank you so much for your hard work."

"I have indeed been a very incompetent master of the soul beasts, but thankfully you are all here."

"If there's anything I can do to help later, just let me know."

"There is no one on this planet who can rival me."

Di Tian hurriedly waved his hand and said:

"My lord, please don't say that!"

"You have done your best."

Gu Yuena used her hand to tuck the silver-white strands of hair behind her ear, revealing her delicate and petite ear.

Whether I am competent or not, I know it in my heart.

"In terms of passion, the most important thing I learned from my boss was to recognize myself, acknowledge myself, and then surpass myself."

"How can you call yourself your lord if you can't even admit your own incompetence?"

"Now that you have already dealt with the Star Luo Empire, I will use my enthusiasm to help the Soul Beasts deal with the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Sun Moon Empire."

"We have people in both of these empires."

"By the way, send me the bill that you negotiated with the Star Luo Empire later, and I'll help you refine it."

"Humans are very complex creatures. They might play word games in legislation. I've seen this kind of thing a lot in Shrek City."

"Just in case, I'm personally overseeing this bill."

Seeing Gu Yuena's reliable demeanor, a barely perceptible hint of satisfaction flickered in Di Tian's golden eyes. He then immediately bowed respectfully and said:
"Yes! Lord!"

"I decide..."

"Click~"

A crisp sound broke the conversation between the master and servant.

Gu Yuena and Di Tian turned around together and saw Gu Qiu'er eating potato chips in small bites, with potato chip crumbs still on the corners of her mouth.

Gu Qiu'er sensed their gaze with her spiritual power, looked up, and saw Di Tian and Gu Yuena staring at her. Her hand holding the potato chips froze in mid-air.

Then, his gaze darted back and forth between the potato chips and the two of them a few times, and he said with an innocent look:

"Please continue."

"Don't worry about me."

"Um, or do you guys want some potato chips too?"

Di Tian revealed a smile and said:
"Qiu'er, you seem to be having a lot of fun? Isn't there a monthly exam next month?"

"You know the rules."

"If I don't make it into the top 300 in the grade this time, you know what I'll do."

Gu Qiu'er immediately revealed a mask of pain, pouting as she said:

"Are you kidding me?!"

"Top 300?!"

"If I can make it into the top 400, my ancestors' graves will be emitting auspicious smoke."

"You're ignoring the facts altogether; to use a phrase from a Chinese textbook, it's like building castles in the air!"

"Forget it, I can't explain it to an illiterate like you. In the words of a Soul Master, it's like asking a Great Soul Master to fight a Soul King! That's unrealistic!"

A "well" character appeared on Di Tian's forehead, and he said:
"How come a Great Soul Master can't defeat a Soul King?" "Wasn't there one during yesterday's competition?"

"Just say it's like trying to plaster a wall with mud instead of plastering it."

"Ha, I've set the bar for you. If you don't pass, it's your own problem. Is it because you didn't try hard enough?!"

"Three hundred is a lot? Hmm? Look me in the eyes!"

"Also, I may indeed be illiterate and less educated than you, but I do understand physics!"

I really like the "Lunyu" by a great philosopher on the internet named Kongfuzi.

"I even wanted to invite the other party to the Lake of Life for a long talk all night."

"One of the sayings in it is: 'Learning without thinking is futile; thinking without learning is dangerous.'"

"It means that if you learn my fighting techniques but not my philosophy, you will be confused; if you learn my philosophy but not my fighting techniques, you will be killed."

"Qiu'er, I want to tell you that both strength and knowledge are necessary."

Di Tian patted Gu Qiu'er's head, and Gu Qiu'er looked at Gu Yuena next to her with a wronged expression.

Gu Yuena pulled Gu Qiu'er behind her, her beautiful brows furrowed, and said to Di Tian with dissatisfaction:
"Di Tian, ​​I am passionate about children's education."

"Parents shouldn't just set goals for their children, but also provide material support. You're doing it wrong."

"And we can't just use violence like that; we have to be patient with children."

"Qiu'er, don't worry, it's just the top 300. I'll hire some tutors in Xilu City to help you with your studies."

“I’ll pay for it. Let him see how mud can be plastered on a wall.”

Gu Qiu'er was initially very touched by Gu Yuena's protection, realizing that this older sister was truly worthy of the title and would step up when needed.

Then she went numb. Looking at Di Tianwei's dignified face and Gu Yuena's gentle expression, she seriously suspected that the two of them were doing it on purpose.

One played the bad cop, the other the good cop; neither gained any benefit, and their quality of life plummeted.

They already studied until late every day, why did they have to hire a tutor?! Gu Qiu'er now wanted to smash her head against the wall and make them regret it.

Or go back in time and give your past self a good scolding. Why did you have to take on any form? Why did you have to go to the human world?
Humans are indeed complex beings; they cannot even sympathize with or understand their past selves.

…………

In the Xilu City Prison, in a secret room that no soul-guiding device could detect, was Dai Yueheng's place.

"Tick-tock"

Drips of damp water fell from the moldy ceiling.

A blond man lay on the cold floor.

Water droplets fell on the man's face, and the discomfort gradually woke him from his deep sleep.

"here it is?"

The man slowly opened his eyes, revealing strange pupils in his azure eyes. He was none other than Dai Yueheng, who had already been declared dead by the outside world.

Dai Yueheng stood up with difficulty, seemingly remembering something, and clenched her fist, saying:

"Have you recovered?"

He clearly remembered that before he lost consciousness, he was buried by half a mountain of soil and rocks, and all his bones were broken. Now that he woke up, he found that all his injuries had been healed.

"Clang!"

A shrill voice rang out, and a man wearing a white mask walked in and said:

"The monitoring device shows you're awake."

"You have good qualities. Boss will probably like you a lot in the future."

"follow me."

Then, without saying a word, Geheros dragged Dai Yueheng away from the cell.

Dai Yueheng was startled and was about to activate her martial soul to resist when she discovered that she could not feel any soul power in her body at all.

Geheros glanced at him and said:
"Heh, stop struggling."

"Even if you have soul power, you are no match for me."

Dai Yueheng said in a hoarse voice:

"who are you?"

"Where is this place?"

"let me go!"

Dai Yueheng struggled frantically in Geheros's hands, but for an ordinary person without soul power to escape from a high-level Soul Douluo was as absurd as a Soul King escaping from a Super Douluo.

In the cells on both sides, many prisoners wearing yellow uniforms watched in horror as Geheros carried Dai Yueheng into the end of the prison.

They all knew that it was the most terrifying place in the entire prison.

Every so often, some unlucky soul is chosen to enter it, and no one ever comes back alive.

"Who is that guy? He's a new face."

"How come we were taken behind the Steins Gate as soon as we arrived?"

"Did he bomb the Passionate Leader's hometown?"

Only after Geheros had gone far away did the prisoners dare to discuss in hushed tones; this was the first time someone had been taken there so soon after arriving.

Dai Yueheng was roughly pressed down into a chair by Geheros, her hands and feet restrained.

Then he turned on the soul-guiding lamp, and the blinding light caused Dai Yueheng's eyes to continuously flow with tears.

Once his eyes adjusted to the light, three bottles of spring water of different colors appeared on the table in front of him.

"Red for mature women, yellow for young girls, blue for lolis."

"Dai Yueheng, make your choice."

"Your chair is an electric chair. You'll feel great if you don't choose one in a minute."

Dai Yueheng couldn't understand what the other person was saying at all, and looked sharply at Geheros in front of her, saying:
"who are you?!"

"I am the son of the White Tiger Duke, aren't you afraid of retaliation?!"

Gherros stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze coldly fixed on him through his mask. This was a distinguished guest personally selected by the boss, and he needed to be treated well.

"Five, four, three... one"

As Geheros coldly finished his countdown, he pressed the button in his hand, and blue electricity instantly filled the entire chair.

Dai Yueheng's whole body tensed up, her eyes bulged, the veins on her arms stood out, and her clenched teeth gradually loosened as she succumbed to her instincts.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

"What exactly do you want to do?!"

　I spent another 648 yuan, and I got the wrong character again! I already have three souls on my Blade Master, hahaha!!! I just remembered! Turns out I'm not a lucky player! I'm just an unlucky player on the sidelines.
