Chapter 7 On the Security of Shrek City

Huo Yuhao needs money.

The mother's body was depleted and needed various medicinal herbs to nourish and replenish it, requiring a considerable amount of gold soul coins, in addition to the auxiliary materials she herself needed for cultivation.

After that, the rent for the house and the expenses for opening the shop that I had anticipated all required money, and a mere tens of thousands of gold soul coins were not enough.

……

……

"This detached villa is right next to Shrek Academy, and there are three security teams deployed around it. Every member of the security team is at least a Soul Master, and the captains are all graduates of Shrek's outer academy."

"Furthermore, the captain and deputy captain of the security team are both Contra-level powerhouses! They can definitely guarantee the safety of every resident!"

"In addition, the entire villa is equipped with Soul Guidance Technology imported from the Sun Moon Empire, which can bring you a more convenient and comfortable life!"

"In addition..."

The receptionist was talking non-stop; as the top salesperson, he had an excellent eye for people.

The three people in front of me, though their clothes were not particularly luxurious, each had an undeniable presence and demeanor.

Especially the boy who was leading the group and the girl beside him—one bright and confident, the other aloof and noble—were clearly not ordinary people.

And that is indeed the case.

Huo Yuhao looked at the floor plan of the villa in front of him. Hmm, three floors, a basement, and a small courtyard.

The basement can be converted into a workshop, and the courtyard can be turned into a training ground. There are a total of nine rooms across the three floors. It's really nice.

He nodded and looked at his mother beside him.

"Mom, what do you think?"

Huo Yun'er glanced at him, opened her mouth slightly, but ultimately made no sound. She simply reached out and carefully tugged at Huo Yuhao's sleeve, then leaned down slightly to whisper in his ear:

"Yuhao, isn't this too expensive?"

Huo Yuhao smiled and shook his head, then said softly:

"Mom, it's okay. This is for safety. It's a precaution in case anything goes wrong."

Huo Yun'er opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end she nodded.

She looked at her son, a thoughtful expression in her eyes, memories of the past few days flashing through her mind. Silently, she stroked Huo Yuhao's head, her eyes meeting his.

"I trust Yuhao, and I'll listen to Yuhao."

"Um!"

Huo Yuhao smiled and nodded, then looked at the girl beside him: "Sister Nana, what do you think?"

Gu Yuena nodded calmly, then turned her attention back to the pastries Huo Yuhao had just bought for her.

Huo Yuhao nodded, casually plucking a bit of "joy" from Gu Yuena.

"This is it. Please help me get the certificate."

"Okay, sir! Please come this way!"

……

……

To be honest, the areas with better public security in Shrek City can be roughly divided into four levels.

First and foremost is Shrek Academy's inner court. Not only are there multiple Title Douluos guarding it, but there are also inner court disciples who are guaranteed to be at least Soul King level. They can respond immediately to almost anything that happens.

The second one is the villa area where Huo Yuhao is currently renting.

As an enterprise under the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, this area is guarded by personnel from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. If a normal tenant is killed in the area under their jurisdiction, it would be a slap in the face for the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

And the third one is Shrek Academy's outer courtyard.

What? You're asking why Huo Yuhao ranked Shrek Academy's outer courtyard here?

Oh.

Having been given a second chance at life allowed Huo Yuhao to see many things clearly, and also to see what Shrek Academy was really like now.

He couldn't forget the assassination attempt against him in his previous life, and he also couldn't forget Shrek Academy's handling of that assassination attempt.

Elder Mu is doing well. If Elder Mu hadn't been seriously injured and were as healthy as Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui, perhaps Shrek Academy could have managed to develop in a positive direction. But unfortunately, there are no "ifs".

Mu suffered greatly during his lifetime, dedicated everything to Shrek Academy, and after his death, he gave everything to the Golden Tree.

He will go to Shrek Academy, after all, Dong'er will be there, and Dong'er still has Tang San's divine sense on her. If he wants to deal with Tang San, that divine sense must also be eliminated.

Huo Yuhao was unaware that the entire Douluo World was now enveloped by a barrier of destiny, preventing the gods of the God Realm from seeing it, but this did not stop him from plotting against Tang San.

After finding a way to resolve the hidden dangers surrounding Dong'er, he will definitely try to take her away. At that time, he will surely leave Shrek Academy.

After that, places like the Body Sect, Mingde Hall, and Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect are all places he might go. Oh, now there's another likely alternative—the Star Dou Great Forest, where he can also go find Qiu'er.

In short, Shrek Academy will go, but their ultimate goal is to build a future team for themselves and then take it with them.

In this life, he no longer wanted to be tied to Shrek Academy.

Shrek's Glory? Ha!

Huo Yuhao shook his head, suppressing these thoughts, and then began directing a group of people to adjust the furniture positions and various layouts of the villa.

The receptionist was very enthusiastic, especially after Huo Yuhao paid two years' rent upfront, and when he learned that Huo Yuhao intended to rent another shop, he became even more enthusiastic towards him.

Not only did they quickly complete the formalities, but they also gifted Huo Yuhao a large pile of exquisite furniture—of course, in terms of price, this pile of furniture was only worth a few dozen gold soul coins, which was only a fraction of the two years' rent Huo Yuhao paid, but it still showed their sincerity.

"Mr. Huo, this is my office address. If you still need rental space, feel free to come to me anytime. I guarantee I can get you the best possible terms!"

"Thanks."

Huo Yuhao responded with a smile, then chatted briefly with the receptionist before saying goodbye.

As night fell, Huo Yuhao lay on his bed, not cultivating, but just staring at the ceiling.

His mother had already rested. Although Huo Yuhao had bought some herbs on the way and tried to nourish her body, she had been traveling for a month and had been exhausted from walking around all day. Her body was not in good shape.

Huo Yuhao, on the other hand, was waiting for a certain gluttonous, despicable dragon king.

Time slowly passed, and suddenly, some ripples appeared in the space not far away. Then, Gu Yuena slowly walked out of the ripples.

She looked at Huo Yuhao and said softly:

"Shall we leave now?"

Huo Yuhao sat up and nodded.

"Yes, now, to avoid any unforeseen complications."

Yes, Huo Yuhao was waiting for Gu Yuena.

His purpose in this trip was to go to the Star Dou Great Forest and bring back Brother Tianmeng and Elder Yi.

After a month of saturating his diet and even offering up his grilled fish, he finally managed to extract enough positive emotions from Gu Yuena, the gluttonous dragon king!

This allowed him to reach level 10 at an almost superhuman speed.

All I can say is that she truly lives up to her title as the ruler of all soul beasts; the emotions extracted from her are incredibly pure!
