Douluo Continent: Transmigrating into Huo Yuhao's world, I start by becoming Yao Lao's app

Chapter 29 Have you ever seen a robbery that also includes medical treatment?

"A soul bone?!" Ma Xiaotao asked, somewhat puzzled. "What do you want a soul bone for? I must say, you really dare to ask for an exorbitant amount."

"I've already said, I have absolutely no interest in helping you suppress that so-called Phoenix Evil Flame. Even if you are truly devoured by the evil flame and die, I will feel no guilt whatsoever," Huo Yuhao said with a cold laugh.

"But since you say you'll agree to any conditions, I certainly won't hold back. I'm not short of money or elixirs. If you want to make a deal with me, give me the soul bone!"

Ma Xiaotao's expression changed several times. As an inner court disciple and a disciple of Yan Shaozhe, the dean of the Martial Soul Department, even if she forcibly suppressed Huo Yuhao in front of her, there would be no consequences, after all, the difference in their status was too great.

However, Huo Yuhao was able to control the Phoenix Evil Fire within her, which made her hesitant to act rashly.

If he were to lose control of his evil fire under his influence, even if he wasn't permanently banned from Shrek Academy or expelled for wanton killing, he would still be killed by the powerful figures in the city.

After all, when it comes to life, even offending Shrek Academy is nothing. Even though Ma Xiaotao is now a Soul Emperor, she would still die if she encountered a high-level Soul Saint or even a Soul Douluo.

"Okay, what part and what attribute of soul bone do you want?" Ma Xiaotao asked.

"I want one soul bone that's over ten thousand years old, two soul bones that's over a thousand years old, and four trash soul bones like the Mystic Art Soul!" Huo Yuhao said calmly. "As for the attributes and body part, I'm not picky about that, as long as I have them."

Ma Xiaotao stared angrily at Huo Yuhao, her eyes wide with fury, clearly enraged by the astronomical price he had offered.

However, Huo Yuhao showed no fear at this moment, still coldly staring at Ma Xiaotao, as if ready to close the door and send her away at any time.

With a helpless sigh, Ma Xiaotao flicked her wrist, and a dark blue soul bone and a bright green soul bone instantly appeared on the table in front of her.

"I don't have any ten-thousand-year-old soul bones either. These are two soul bones that are about three thousand years old. One is a water-attribute left arm bone, and the other is a wood-attribute right leg bone," Ma Xiaotao said, pointing to the two soul bones.

Although Huo Yuhao remained outwardly calm, he was secretly astonished. While Ma Xiaotao, as an inner court disciple, had no shortage of cultivation resources, the fact that she could so easily produce two invaluable soul bones suggested Shrek Academy was far too wealthy.

As if sensing Huo Yuhao's surprise, Ma Xiaotao said softly, "Most of the time, the inner disciples of Shrek Academy leave the academy to carry out surveillance missions, capturing evil soul masters who are causing trouble in various parts of the continent. Some of the evil soul masters I killed had soul bones on their bodies, and after killing them, the soul bones naturally belonged to me. However, I don't care about soul bones of this level, so I usually take them out to trade."

Huo Yuhao nodded; he had no objection to this method of using violence to combat violence. After all, the inner court students were hunting down evil soul masters across the continent without regard for their own lives, so it was only right that the spoils from killing evil soul masters belonged to the inner court students themselves.

But now his heart aches a little. Damn, he didn't ask for enough! If he had known earlier that Ma Xiaotao was so rich and powerful, he would have definitely squeezed a few more soul bones out of her.

"Since you've already paid, you can come to me anytime for help with the backlash from the evil fire," Huo Yuhao said calmly as he quickly put away the two thousand-year-old soul bones.

"However, I must remind you that this is merely the fee for persuading me to resolve your backlash from the evil fire. Your backlash from the evil fire won't only happen once. Apart from the first time being free, you'll need to give me an extra soul bone for each subsequent instance."

"What?! Why don't you just rob it?!" Ma Xiaotao shouted angrily.

"Robbery? Have you ever seen a robber heal you?" Huo Yuhao chuckled. "This is my price. Take it or leave it. If you can't, I can return the two soul bones to you, and you can just leave."

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao hesitated. Although she had to pay Huo Yuhao a soul bone as payment each time she sought his help to resolve the backlash from the evil fire, it did, after all, buy her precious time for cultivation.

Just like this time, Huo Yuhao used the Burning Technique to absorb all the Phoenix Evil Fire in her body in the morning, which allowed her to cultivate in peace for three months without the danger of being devoured by the evil fire.

Yan Shaozhe had previously advised her to stop cultivating, because even the elders of the Sea God Pavilion were unable to suppress her Phoenix Evil Flame.

At least now she has found a solution, it just requires her to frequently hunt down evil soul masters to obtain soul bones, which is not too difficult for her.

Holy Spirit Cult: Are you polite?

"Okay, we'll do it your way!" Ma Xiaotao nodded and said.

"Well, I have one more request." Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes and pointed to himself.

"You must promise that you will not report anything you see or hear here to the academy. Of course, you can tell the academy that I resolved your evil fire problem, but you cannot tell the academy about our deal or anything here, otherwise our deal will be terminated at any time."

When Ma Xiaotao arrived, she had already seen herself soaking in the Foundation Establishment Elixir. In addition, she had previously consumed the cyan liquid droplets refined by Yao Lao using the Profound Water Pill and the Soul Ascension Pill, which caused her cultivation to surge. With the two combined, it was inevitable that the old guys from Shrek Academy would think of something.

For Huo Yuhao, the most important thing right now is to develop steadily. He doesn't want to be used as a guinea pig and locked up for research. And if he chooses to undergo the transformation into the Sun and Moon Realm, all his previous efforts will be in vain, and he will be unable to complete the mission of avenging the original owner of this body.

"Okay!" Having agreed to everything else, Ma Xiaotao naturally wouldn't refuse such a simple request.

"I, Ma Xiaotao, swear on my own martial soul that I will not reveal any secrets about Huo Yuhao to Shrek Academy! Is that alright?"

Huo Yuhao nodded, a smile finally appearing on his face: "Alright, the next time you can't control your evil fire, you can come to me anytime."

Ma Xiaotao looked Huo Yuhao up and down again, and finally a blush appeared on her face.

"Do you usually like to talk to people like this without any clothes on? You're a freshman, how can you be so shameless?"

Huo Yuhao was slightly taken aback, and when he looked down, his face immediately turned red. He had jumped out of the bathtub and had been confronting and talking with Ma Xiaotao ever since, without putting on any clothes. He was still completely naked.

"Ahem, don't worry, you can look at it as much as you want, I won't charge you."

Ma Xiaotao leaped up, about to leave through the guest room window. But upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, she trembled and nearly lost her breath, falling off the windowsill.

"Hmph, what's so interesting about a little kid like him?" Ma Xiaotao said, feigning disdain.

Then, her figure leaped out like a swallow and disappeared into the vast night.

"Little bean sprout?" Huo Yuhao looked down at himself and immediately puffed out his chest with pride.

"You're just a little brat, what do you know about age? That's like saying a banana isn't sweet because you can't get it. I can't be bothered with you!"
