Transmigrating into Huo Yuhao, my abilities are refreshed every month.

Huo Yuhao frowned. "Did I do anything to you last night? It seems that someone was crying and making a fuss, wanting to experience my special ability. But he was bad at it and loved to play around. After trying a few times, he exhausted himself and fell asleep on the bed."

He recalled Ning Rongrong's charming and alluring demeanor in her dazed state last night, and to be honest, it was quite tempting.

Especially her skin, whether it's because she's a support-type Soul Master or because she's been pampered since childhood and never suffered, is exceptionally delicate, smooth, and soft like silk.

Huo Yuhao only briefly tested the feel of the hand and didn't do anything else. After all, Zhu Zhuqing was still nearby, and he hadn't fully won her over yet, so it wasn't appropriate for him to openly take advantage of other girls.

Ning Rongrong's face flushed red, both ashamed and angry. "Who, who is bad at this and loves to play! I, I, I was just bewitched by your perverted and lewd abilities."

She simply hadn't experienced this kind of thrill before, which is why she was finding it hard to resist.

"Hmph, if you don't give me an explanation, don't even think about getting my help today!" Ning Rongrong threatened.

Huo Yuhao patiently reasoned with him, "This is actually to vent your anger. Think about it, if I didn't still have some trump cards, could we have defeated that Soul Master? If we hadn't, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's little princess would have been captured and enslaved. Don't you want to get revenge and completely destroy this gang?"

Ning Rongrong hesitated for a moment, and Huo Yuhao pressed on, saying, "Look, this gang arrests countless innocent girls every year. Does the beautiful and kind Miss Ning Rongrong really have the heart to let these people go unpunished and continue to harm even more people?"

Ning Rongrong snorted and said, "Then I'll help you this time."

Huo Yuhao praised her at the right moment: "Rongrong is indeed beautiful inside and out, and has a strong sense of righteousness. She is a rare and remarkable woman."

"Don't think I'll let you off the hook just because you flatter me. When I get back to my sect, I'll tell Grandpa Sword, and you'll be in for a world of hurt."

Huo Yuhao lowered his voice and teased, "How about I let you experience my ability more often in the future, then you won't talk nonsense?"

Ning Rongrong blushed and said, "Who wants to experience your abnormal ability!"

Huo Yuhao said without batting an eye, "It's criticism. My ability is too abnormal. Miss Ning Rongrong should criticize me more."

Ning Rongrong hesitated for a moment, her gaze drifting elsewhere, and whispered, "Then I won't tell Grandpa Jian for now, and we'll see how you behave later."

Huo Yuhao was surprised. He hadn't expected this little devil to actually agree. It seemed she was really addicted.

Or how about we bring back another way to use the succubus's spiritual power that we haven't used in a long time?

Chapter 127 Meeting Qian Renxue for the first time

The Crown Prince's residence is located to the east of the royal palace, not far away.

This place is inhabited by high-ranking officials and nobles, so there aren't many people coming and going.

When Huo Yuhao and his group arrived at the gate of the Crown Prince's residence, Ning Rongrong took out a token and said in a slightly trembling voice, "Please inform them that Ning Rongrong of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has come to visit."

The guards at the gate, seeing the blue jade token carved with the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, dared not delay and hurriedly went inside to report.

A short while later, the gates of the mansion opened, and a guard led everyone into the mansion, through winding corridors, to a grand hall.

There was only one person in the main hall. Upon hearing Huo Yuhao and his group's voices, he stood up from his seat. This was a young man of about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. He wore a noble and elegant white suit with gold trim, had short blond hair, a handsome face with a slightly effeminate air, and a gentle and refined demeanor.

Huo Yuhao discreetly observed the person before him. This must be Qian Renxue; the soul bone technique of her Angel Set showed no flaws. This was the second woman he had seen disguised as a man. Compared to Wang Dong's handsome appearance, Qian Renxue's impersonation of Xue Qinghe was rather ordinary, though her demeanor was more gentle and polite.

"Rongrong, when did you find the time to visit my residence?" Qian Renxue smiled warmly upon seeing Ning Rongrong, then turned his gaze to Huo Yuhao and the others. "These are your friends, Rongrong, right?"

"Huo Yuhao greets Your Highness the Crown Prince." Huo Yuhao bowed, and the others followed closely behind.

Qian Renxue smiled as before, "No need for formalities. Since you are all Rongrong's friends, you are also my friends. Please don't be shy, let's sit down and talk."

The group took their seats according to their status as host and guest. Qian Renxue ordered someone to pour fragrant tea for everyone. Her smiling face appeared kind and peaceful, without any sense of the majesty of a crown prince.

"Rongrong, why did you suddenly contact me today? Is there something you need my help with?" Qian Renxue asked affectionately.

Ning Rongrong's fair skin was slightly flushed, her eyes were watery, and her voice trembled as she said, "Brother Xue, Rongrong has come to your residence today because there is something I would like you to help me seek justice for."

"Who dares to provoke the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?" A hint of surprise flashed in Xue Qinghe's eyes. What could have made this unruly little witch of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School look so aggrieved?

Ning Rongrong asked in a sweet voice, "Brother Xue, does the Tiandou Empire prohibit the slave trade?"

"nature."

"But I was almost captured and enslaved. If it weren't for my friend's rescue, I don't know which nobleman's mansion I would be working like a slave today." Ning Rongrong's eyes were already filled with tears, and she looked pitiful.

Xue Qinghe's expression turned serious, and he said solemnly, "Such a thing actually happened? These people are incredibly audacious, daring to mess with anyone. Tell Brother Xue the whole story, and Brother Xue will definitely uphold justice for you and make those people pay the price."

Ning Rongrong seemed very excited, her pretty face flushed, and she said in a broken voice, "A few days ago, my friend and I passed through Oran City and we actually encountered people capturing slaves on the main road. The people being captured were those two."

Ning Rongrong pointed at Zhang Youwei and her daughter, and continued using the words Huo Yuhao had taught her: "The people who captured the slaves saw us, and because Zhu Qing and I are pretty, they wanted to capture us too. The most crucial thing is that he was a Soul Master. Fortunately, we had some trump cards and captured him. But that person even dared to threaten us, saying that their slave-hunting gang had over a hundred people, and the leader was a Soul Saint, and that they captured hundreds of young girls in the Oran City area every year."

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue's expression turned solemn. She realized that this was no simple gang and that someone must be supporting them behind the scenes. Otherwise, how could she have been completely unaware of it?

Ning Rongrong continued, "We interrogated him, and to our surprise, he said that his gang actually had the support of all the city lords and Spirit Hall personnel in the Oran City area."

"Brother Xue, you have to give me an explanation, otherwise I'll have Grandpa Jian kill all those city lords. And as for the Spirit Hall, I'll have my father spread the word throughout all the forces that the Spirit Hall was involved in the slave trade. We must expose the Spirit Hall's crimes and ugly face to everyone."

At this moment, Qian Renxue's face had turned ashen, and she was cursing inwardly.

Are the Spirit Hall patrol team members pigs? How could they not notice such a huge problem at the branch hall in that area? Are they only going to realize something's wrong after the branch hall has been completely corrupted?

If this were to be exposed, it would be an unprecedented blow to the reputation of the Spirit Hall. Those incompetent fools who hold positions without doing their jobs!

Qian Renxue barely managed to suppress her anger, a cold glint flashing in her eyes. "Rongrong, don't worry, I won't let any of those parasites get away with it. I'll wipe out everyone involved in the slave trade. As for the Spirit Hall, there's no need to trouble you, Teacher."

"The Spirit Hall has run rampant in our Heaven Dou Empire, selling slaves and violating national laws. I will negotiate with them to get a reasonable explanation and compensation for these numerous atrocities."

Huo Yuhao almost burst out laughing upon hearing this. Qian Renxue, as the young master of the Spirit Hall, was clearly very angry that she was cursing the Spirit Hall like this.

This is exactly what he wanted. If it were a simple matter of selling slaves, Qian Renxue might not care, but if it involved the reputation and interests of the Spirit Hall, Qian Renxue would definitely care.

A sly glint flashed in Ning Rongrong's eyes as she said, "Brother Xue, you said it yourself. We've already investigated, and the real master behind this slave-hunting group is Prince Xue Xing. He's using this to build connections with powerful figures and win over officials to oppose you."

"Are you telling the truth?" A glint flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes.

“Of course it’s true.” At this moment, Huo Yuhao, who had been silent until now, spoke up and released the captured Lord of Oran City.

Qian Renxue turned her gaze to Huo Yuhao, a hint of amazement flashing in her eyes. No matter how many times she saw this young man's good looks, she always felt attracted to him.

She glanced calmly at the figure Huo Yuhao had thrown out, her brows furrowing slightly. "This is... the City Lord of Oran City? How did you capture her?"

"That's not important. What's important is the intelligence she can provide us," Huo Yuhao said with a smile.

He then used his mental power to awaken the unconscious Lord of Oran.

Lord Oran slowly woke up. His slightly confused eyes narrowed when he saw Huo Yuhao, and he instantly became clear-headed.

Huo Yuhao said calmly, "Lord Oran, tell His Highness the Crown Prince how many nobles and high-ranking officials of the Heaven Dou Empire Prince Xuexing has colluded with through his slave-hunting group. Tell him everything you know."

Upon hearing this, Lord Oran looked up and saw Xue Qinghe sitting at the head of the table.

Her fleshy face began to tremble violently, and her small eyes were filled with fear.

Chapter 128 Preparing to Dig a Trap for Qian Renxue

She immediately knelt on the ground, crying and pleading, "Please spare me! I can't say this! My family has over three hundred members. If I tell, they'll all die! Please spare me. I'll serve you like a slave from now on. Just don't make me say this in front of His Highness the Crown Prince."

Huo Yuhao said coldly, "You only know that your family will be destroyed, but when you provide shelter to the slave-hunting group and collude with them, do you know how many families you have caused to be destroyed?"

To take a recent example, Zhang Youwei's husband was beaten to death while protecting her and her daughter.

"Prince Xuexing is too powerful, and I have no choice but to join him! Please, in your great mercy, spare the lives of my entire family." The City Lord of Oran cried out. If she could, she would have committed suicide at this moment, but Huo Yuhao had subconsciously altered her mind to prohibit suicide.

Huo Yuhao glanced coldly at the Lord of Oran City without saying a word, but instead activated his soul interference. The Lord of Oran City was stunned and began to utter one name after another.

Qian Renxue's phoenix eyes flickered slightly. Was this a soul skill that manipulated consciousness?

How could someone so young be able to control the consciousness of a Soul Emperor?

As the Lord of Oran City uttered one name after another, Qian Renxue had no choice but to shift her attention to her.

Although he only mentioned the names of minor nobles, there were so many of them that they encompassed nearly a third of the city lords, large and small, in the Tiandu Empire.

Prince Xuexing had always presented himself as a playboy indulging in food, drink, and entertainment, and she had never taken him seriously, thinking he was merely a political tool supported by Emperor Xueye to balance her power. Now it seemed that she had underestimated this cheap uncle.

After the Lord of Oran City finished announcing the names, Qian Renxue breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Huo Yuhao with gratitude and righteousness in her eyes. "Brother Huo, you have been a great help. If it weren't for you, I would not have known that the empire had been corrupted to this extent by the Prince. If this continues, the people of the empire will not even dare to bring their daughters out in public. In that case, the empire will lose all popular support."

“Uncle, you are undermining the foundation of the nation. I will definitely report this to my father and demand that he punish you severely.”

Huo Yuhao secretly thought to himself, "Qian Renxue is still putting on an act. If Prince Xuexing hadn't shifted the blame to the Spirit Hall when he did this, Qian Renxue probably would have been more than happy to see Prince Xuexing lose the hearts of the people."

However, Huo Yuhao still bowed and flattered, "Your Highness truly loves the people like his own children and has the country in his heart. With such a successor as Your Highness, the Heavenly Dou Empire will surely see its national strength rise steadily in the future, and its future will be bright."

The angel god is also called the god of light, and indeed, there is light everywhere.

Huo Yuhao paused for a moment before solemnly saying something against his will, "Your Highness has always acted with integrity and uprightness."

"However, some people are accustomed to hiding in the shadows like rats. Although they are weak, they can ruin a good soup because of a single rat. Your Highness must be wary."

A glint flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes, and her gaze sharpened. "What do you mean?"

"Your Highness is now firmly in the position of Crown Prince, and his rise to the throne is practically inevitable. Prince Xuexing, as your only uncle, would have been secure in his future wealth and power if he were to be on your side. So why would he choose to oppose you and even resort to such underhanded means to build up his political influence?"

Qian Renxue stared thoughtfully. Yes, why? Why hadn't she thought about this question before?

Logically speaking, even if Prince Xuexing doesn't support her, as long as he doesn't oppose her, she will surely reward him with more power and privileges after she ascends to the throne, since he is Emperor Xueye's only remaining brother and her only remaining imperial uncle.

However, Prince Xuexing was constantly opposing her, which was clearly not a wise choice, nor did it fit Prince Xuexing's image of indulging in eating, drinking, and having fun.

Qian Renxue pondered for a moment, then said, "Continue."

Huo Yuhao asked, "Did Your Highness have any personal grudges with Prince Xuexing before?"

"Never."
