Huo Yuhao was unaware of Ning Fengzhi's thoughts, as he was already sitting opposite Qian Renxue.
The girl wore a white and gold palace dress, with a simple and elegant style. Her golden hair was casually draped behind her, and her golden eyes looked at Huo Yuhao with sparkling eyes.
Beside her stood a dignified old man, exuding a powerful aura. Although his hair was completely white, he still looked robust and imposing.
"This must be His Majesty the Golden Crocodile, right?" Huo Yuhao asked with a smile.
Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded in acknowledgment.
Qian Renxue smiled and said, "Little brother Yuhao, you are really impressive. You just gave me a hard time, making me and Grandpa Jin'e unable to move."
Huo Yuhao remained expressionless and casually changed the subject, "I have come here today to ask the Spirit Hall for a favor."
"What is it?" Qian Renxue asked curiously.

Chapter 378 Tang Yuehua's Deal
"Regarding the matter of the Power Clan," Huo Yuhao said, looking towards the direction of Heaven Dou City, "I could have killed them all, but firstly, I don't have much of a grudge against them; the root of the grudge lies with Tang Hao, so there's no need for a life-or-death confrontation. Secondly, I'm a kind-hearted person and can't bear too much bloodshed. However, if I let them go, they'll come looking for trouble again in the future, so I'll have to entrust the Spirit Hall to handle it. You can take them to mine or do whatever you want with them."
Qian Renxue raised an eyebrow and said with a forced smile, "Brother Huo, you are truly kind-hearted."
Huo Yuhao said, "As a reward for the Spirit Hall's help, I can sell forty sets of level-five soul tools to the Spirit Hall. You can exchange them for metal."
Qian Renxue frowned and pondered for a moment, then said calmly, "I agree. We will help you deal with the Power Clan."
"These are forty sets of soul tools. As for the rare metals, you can ask Sister Le Xuan for them." Huo Yuhao handed over a soul tool ring.
Seeing Qian Renxue take the ring and put it directly on her finger, Huo Yuhao continued:
"In that case, if any members of the Power Clan come looking for trouble later, I'll trouble you to intercept them."
"So you were waiting for us here." Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue glanced sideways at Huo Yuhao, then turned her gaze to Golden Crocodile Douluo.
"Grandpa Golden Crocodile, I'd like to trouble you to make this trip."
Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded, "It's alright, I'll make the trip then, just to recruit a few miners for the Spirit Hall."
Qian Renxue and Huo Yuhao watched Golden Crocodile Douluo leave, and the atmosphere between them changed.
Qian Renxue turned to look at Huo Yuhao, her face expressionless, and said, "I heard that you gave the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School forty sets of soul tools for free, and even helped Ning Rongrong's martial soul evolve. But you want to charge me, your collaborator?"
Huo Yuhao moved to Qian Renxue's side, took the girl's well-defined hand in his own, and played with it carefully. "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School also traded rare metals for it. Besides, I've prepared a gift for you as well."
Qian Renxue's cheeks flushed slightly as she let the boy play with her hand, her eyes filled with curiosity. "What gift?"
Huo Yuhao flipped his hand and took out a red pill. "Your martial soul is already a god-level martial soul, so immortal herbs won't help you much. This pill can increase your soul power a bit."
Qian Renxue glanced at the pill, then put it into her soul tool. She looked up at the boy and hesitated for a long time before asking, "Was the one who made the move just now a god-level expert? Even my grandfather couldn't put such pressure on Grandpa Golden Crocodile."
Huo Yuhao paused for a moment, then said, "I guess so."
"Does she have any way to prevent my grandfather from being sacrificed?" Qian Renxue asked anxiously.
Huo Yuhao shook his head. "Sister Xue'er, if you trust me, don't be too hasty in inheriting the angelic position. There are people in the divine realm who want to harm you. As for the issue of your grandfather's sacrifice, you can go to the divine realm and resurrect him once you become a god."
Qian Renxue frowned. "Why are the people of the God Realm targeting me?"
"Because of authority, and if I'm not mistaken, your angelic ancestor should have already fallen. I'll tell you when you're able to inherit the divine position," Huo Yuhao said.
Qian Renxue's heart grew heavy. She had indeed heard her grandfather say that the Divine Ancestor hadn't issued any divine decrees for a long time.
After a moment's thought, she nodded and said, "I will talk to Grandpa."
After the two lingered for a while, Huo Yuhao heard Ma Xiaotao calling him.
"Sister Tao, what's the matter?"
Huo Yuhao put Qian Renxue, whose face was flushed, down in his arms and walked out of the private room.
Ma Xiaotao leaned forward and sniffed his scent. Her gaze turned cold, revealing a look of disgust. She said coldly:
"Tang Yuehua, the mistress of Yuexuan Pavilion, wishes to visit you. Will you grant her an audience?"
Huo Yuhao thought for a moment, "I should still meet her, and see what she's up to."
Huo Yuhao arrived at an office in the newly built office building, where he could see Tang Hao hanging in mid-air.
Before long, Tang Yuehua was brought over.
Huo Yuhao sat in the main seat, raising his eyes to examine Tang Hao's sister in front of him. She should be in her forties, with a soul power of only level nine, but she looked like she was in her twenties. What was most attractive about her was her graceful and elegant temperament, and every move she made exuded elegance.
"I wonder if the Lord of Yuehua Pavilion is here today on behalf of Yuehua Pavilion or Haotian Sect?" Huo Yuhao asked bluntly.
Tang Yuehua was somewhat surprised to see such a young man before her, but she still calmly bowed. After hearing what Huo Yuhao said, her pupils shrank.
How did he know that he was a member of the Haotian Sect?
After a moment's hesitation, Tang Yuehua slowly said, "I am here today not on behalf of the Haotian Sect, nor on behalf of Yuexuan, but solely on my personal behalf as Tang Hao's sister."
"You want me to release Tang Hao?" Huo Yuhao looked at the beautiful woman in front of him with great interest.
"Well, I think there must be some misunderstanding between you. Second Brother is not that kind of person. I heard that there are people from the Haotian Sect in your Spirit Transmission Academy. He must have come for her."
Tang Yuehua considered for a moment, then said.
"What he did for a reason doesn't matter. The fact is he tried to sneak into the girls' dormitory at night. Not to mention, I had a grudge against him before, so of course I wanted to take this opportunity to teach him a lesson."
Huo Yuhao said with a smile.
Tang Yuehua was speechless for a moment. She had always been in contact with nobles, and even if they had grudges, they would say one thing in public and another in private. She had never met anyone like Huo Yuhao who would put his grudges out in the open.
"Of course, as long as you are willing to pay a price, I am not unwilling to let him go. In fact, I even have a way to revive your second sister-in-law, the Blue Silver Emperor, A Yin. Tang Hao's dejected state must be related to A Yin."
"Lady Yuehua, you don't want to see the once spirited Tang Hao fall into such a state that he looks worse than a beggar, do you?"
Huo Yuhao got up and went to the window, looking at Tang Hao hanging in the air. Tang Yuehua also looked over and saw that Tang Hao was dressed in rags and looked disheveled. Tears welled up in her eyes.
"What do you want?" Tang Yuehua stared blankly at Tang Hao for a long time before she came back to her senses and looked at Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "I want you."
Tang Yuehua took a half step back, looking at him warily, her expression constantly shifting.
"Can I trade something else for it? I can trade Yuexuan, or even my soul bone."
Huo Yuhao remained silent, only shaking his head.
Tang Yuehua's bright eyes gradually filled with disappointment as she gazed at Tang Hao for a long time, her gaze becoming lost.
"I can agree to that, but only after you actually save your second sister-in-law."
Huo Yuhao shook his head. "No, you have to pay first before I will deliver the goods."
Tang Yuehua said, "What if you lied to me?"
Huo Yuhao's face still wore the same smile. "Someone from the Spirit Hall contacted me, hoping that I can hand Tang Hao over to them in three days. You know, the Spirit Hall is my partner, and the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall is my beloved friend and family. How can I refuse their request? Your obstruction is putting me in a difficult position."
"I agree." Tang Yuehua lowered her eyelids, concealing the disappointment and resentment in her eyes.

Chapter 379 The Beginning of the Plan Against Tang Hao
Huo Yuhao breathed a sigh of relief as he glanced at Tang Hao, who was hanging high in the sky outside the window, and then looked down at Tang Yuehua, whose clothes were disheveled and who was no longer elegant and composed.
"Don't worry, someone will rescue Tang Hao tonight, and you'll see your second sister-in-law, A Yin, soon too."
Upon hearing this, Tang Yuehua's dazed eyes regained their light. She gave a soft "hmm" and was pressed down against the window by Huo Yuhao. Her watery eyes swept over Tang Hao, then she lowered her head as if pricked by a needle, her eyes filled with undisguised disappointment.
She had admired her second brother since she was a child, but now she was facing him in this state. In that instant, something in her heart seemed to shatter.
The sunlight outside the window was so dazzling, so bright and captivating, reflecting off the porcelain white marble wall and creating halos of light.
In the window embedded in the marble wall, one could vaguely see two figures moving about, their shadows overlapping and appearing indistinct and unclear in the sunlight.
Before I knew it, the sun had set, and there was no one left by the window.
Huo Yuhao saw off the limp and weak Tang Yuehua, and after calculating the time, he noticed that Wang Dong and her team's match had also ended.
Today they are facing off against Tianshui Academy. Both sides have seven beautiful young women, which Huo Yuhao did not see, and he felt deeply regretful.
But it didn't matter; he had a very fulfilling afternoon.
Night fell quickly. Huo Yuhao used simulation to change his body shape and asked Gu Yue to help him disguise himself to ensure that even a Limit Douluo wouldn't be able to tell anything before setting off with Ah Yin.
The Spirit Transmission Academy was very quiet at night. Under the moonlight, Tang Hao could be vaguely seen hanging high in the sky.
Suddenly, a flash of silver light appeared, and the nine-colored ropes binding Tang Hao snapped. Tang Hao fell to the ground, but not a sound was heard.
"Who?" Tang Hao quickly flipped himself up after falling to the ground, a small black hammer appearing in his hand, and looked warily in one direction.
The next moment, a figure dressed in white appeared in that direction, exuding a fierce and primal aura. He glanced at Tang Hao and said indifferently, "Come with me."
Tang Hao hesitated for a moment, then followed the figure.
The two sped along and soon left the Spirit Transmission Academy, arriving deep in the Sunset Forest.
Upon arriving at this point, the figure in white finally stopped. Tang Hao, still wary, stared at the man and said in a low voice:
"Who are you, and why did you save me?"
The man in white glanced coldly at Tang Hao, and with a flash of blue light in his hand, a small blue grass appeared beside him, its leaves adorned with luxurious golden patterns.
