Douluo Continent: Huo Yuhao obtains the Flame Emperor template

Chapter 110 Wang Dong: Grilled fish, here I come!

"Brother, you'd better give me a reasonable explanation." Meng Hongchen's beautiful eyes narrowed, her anger still simmering. Her good deed of consolidating her position as the first wife in front of the blonde mistress had been ruined.

Xiao Hongchen kept giving his sister meaningful glances, signaling to Di Ruiqiu beside him.

Her eyes were cold, and she gripped a golden spear tightly, as if she would pierce Meng Hongchen's heart with several holes at any moment.

Meng Hongchen gave a soft hum, elegantly adjusting the bow tied in her silver-white hair before looking directly at Di Ruiqiu.

In a languid voice, she said frankly, "Little girl, although Yuhao and I have some kind of relationship..."

"But that hug just now was simply because I missed you so much, don't misunderstand."

Di Ruiqiu's eyes were unfriendly; this scheming woman from the Sun and Moon seemed no easier to deal with than Wang Dong'er.

"Ha, otherwise why do you think my Golden Dragon Spear hasn't pierced you yet?" Di Rachel sneered.

Meng Hongchen touched her lips, looking as if she had just realized something: "Oh... I thought you were just being jealous."

Di Ruiqiu casually grasped Huo Yuhao's hand, clearly teasing him, and said with a smile, "Why would I be jealous? We met back when Yuhao was still a one-ring Soul Master."

"Yuhao and I exchanged gifts back then, we had feelings for each other, and we promised to walk hand in hand in the future."

Di Ruiqiu slightly moved her other arm, retracting the spear blade she had just pointed at Meng Hongchen, and held the Golden Dragon Spear normally in her arms, lazily teasing Meng Hongchen.

"Back then, I had no idea where you were reading comics."

Di Ruiqiu felt that what she said was very true. Back in the Star Dou Great Forest, she gave Huo Yuhao a small piece of the Life Gold, and Huo Yuhao gave her a light orb with a story about a three-eyed golden retriever. The two had an agreement regarding the matter of attraction.

Meng Hongchen's eyes widened slightly as she saw that Di Ruiqiu's confident and assertive manner seemed genuine.

"You little girl, you're so young and you're already learning bad habits. How can you speak so recklessly?"

"Hey—so young? Ten of you couldn't compare to me."

"Who are you calling inferior? Be careful, or I'll arrest you and interrogate you severely for 'unauthorized entry into Mingdu'!"

"Yuhao, look at her. She has such a bad temper when she gets angry. She's completely different from you. She even tried to arrest me. How did you get to know her at Riyue?"

"You...!" Meng Hongchen was furious because she hadn't expected that Di Ruiqiu's attack power was just as good.

In just a few words, the entrance to Mingde Hall almost exploded.

Huo Yuhao couldn't get a word in edgewise, so he stood between them to block their view: "Alright, alright, you've only just met, what's there to argue about? Let's go out for a walk and chat."

He changed the subject: "Hey? Brother Xiao, what was the name of the restaurant you mentioned earlier? I didn't quite catch it. Was it called something like 'BBQ Restaurant'?"

Xiao Hongchen immediately understood. His sister initially didn't take Di Ruiqiu seriously, but he realized that the other party was not someone to be trifled with.

First and foremost is the Golden Dragon Spear in Di Rachel's hand; its high quality clearly indicates it is no ordinary object.

His three-legged golden toad martial soul has a very good perception of the metal element. Xiao Hongchen can clearly feel that even the rarest metals with the strongest performance cannot compare to it.

Secondly, there was the incredibly strong fire attribute emanating from Di Rachel, which shared some similarities with Huo Yuhao's aura.

Xiao Hongchen sensed that Huo Yuhao's aura had become several levels stronger after he went out.

As for the similarities he felt, it was because Huo Yuhao and Di Ruiqiu had absorbed the Fire Dragon King's energy together. The two had initially merged and had not yet completely contained the Fire Dragon King's true intent.

Although Xiao Hongchen didn't know the Fire Dragon King, his senses derived from his martial soul wouldn't lie to him.

A flame of this caliber could melt his gold element without much effort.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have nervously hinted to his sister not to anger Di Ruiqiu. Who wouldn't want to see Meng and her brother-in-law's relationship getting closer and closer?

Upon receiving Huo Yuhao's signal, Xiao Hongchen readily agreed, saying, "Yuhao, I suggest calling it 'iXiao Barbecue Restaurant'."

Di Ruiqiu exclaimed, "That name is too common."

Meng Hongchen was too lazy to argue with Di Ruiqiu anymore. Anyway, she had already slept with Yuhao all night, so why should she care about Di Ruiqiu's words?

On the matter of the barbecue restaurant's name, Meng Hongchen agreed with Di Ruiqiu's point of view, glancing at Xiao Hongchen: "Yuhao's barbecue restaurant, why would you include your own name in it, Xiao?"

Xiao Hongchen laughed and said, "You don't understand. This shop name will bring Yuhao a considerable amount of customers."

"Many students at our school will definitely come because of your reputation, Brother," Xiao Hongchen said logically, and thought the name "iXiao Barbecue Restaurant" was quite good.

Meng Hongchen pursed her lips, thinking that her name sounded better this way.

"Then we might as well call it, um... Daily Dream BBQ Restaurant."

Di Ruiqiu frowned slightly, expressing her objection: "What do you mean by 'daily dream'? Those four words don't sound good at all."

"Let's call it Xiangrui Barbecue Restaurant, it sounds more auspicious."

"An auspicious omen?"

Meng Hongchen shook his head and said in a rather profound tone, "This name is more suitable for a mascot; it's too corny as a shop name."

The two discussed it for a while, but could not reach an agreement, and neither was willing to give in.

"Forget it, I'll just use the name of my old barbecue stall."

Huo Yuhao spoke in a friendly tone and mentioned the name of his previous shop, which was agreed upon by the others.

Then everyone worked together to choose an address for Huo Yuhao.

Looking at the map, Huo Yuhao noticed several places marked with red crosses and asked curiously, "Brother Xiao, can't we select these places with red crosses?"

Xiao Hongchen leaned close to Huo Yuhao's ear and whispered, "I heard from my grandfather that there are quite a few evil soul masters gathered in these red-crossed areas."

"Moreover, most of the shops in these areas are places where evil spirit masters exchange information with their superiors."

Xiao Hongchen raised his eyes slightly, unsure of what he meant by "above".

Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "It's okay, I just like opening a shop in places like this."

Di Ruiqiu chimed in with delight: "Yes, yes, Yuhao. Besides, Gu Yi loves dealing with evil spirit masters. As long as she hides her martial spirit in the barbecue restaurant, she can gather a lot of information about evil spirit masters and then find an opportunity to wipe them all out later."

Xiao Hongchen shook his head and said meaningfully, "These places are deeply rooted in evil. Without the ability of an evil soul master, it's impossible to gain a foothold, let alone open a barbecue restaurant."

Huo Yuhao recalled the necromancy he had recently learned, which allowed him to summon a few skeletons to work for him. He smiled slightly and said, "Brother Xiao, you don't know this..."

……

Because the Sun Moon Royal Soul Masters need to meet the standards for both Soul Master cultivation and Soul Instructor cultivation to advance to the next level, they attend school for ten months and then have two months of vacation.

After eleven months of schooling at Shrek Academy, and with one month of the Sun and Moon Holiday over, the first semester of Shrek Academy has also entered its holiday period.

Shrek Academy, next to a small lake below the girls' dormitory.

Wang Dong held a strand of blue silver grass in his hand, casually twirling its shadow as he walked slowly along the lakeside path with Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao raised her eyelids, her light green eyes secretly glancing at Wang Dong beside her. She reached out and gently tugged at Wang Dong's sleeve, thought for a moment, and then mustered her courage to say:

"Wang, Wang Dong, our school is letting out for holiday tomorrow. What do you plan to do during the break?"

Xiao Xiao wanted to invite Wang Dong to join her.

Upon hearing this, Wang Dong stopped spinning the Blue Silver Grass in his hand, his beautiful pinkish-blue eyes sparkling with joy: "Xiao Xiao, what do you think we care about most at school?"

Xiao Xiao thought for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Cultivation? A spot as a reserve member for the competition?"

"Of course not, who cares about that?"

"That chicken leg teacher said that even though we weren't selected as reserve team members, we can still enjoy the same benefits as reserve team members..."

Thinking of this, Wang Dong couldn't help but scoff: "Tch, so far, I haven't seen what use this title is, there's no substantial reward whatsoever."

Xiao Xiao nodded in agreement. That chicken leg teacher seemed unreliable, always drunk.

However, she was curious about what Wang Dong cared about, and a hint of confusion appeared in her eyes.

"Wang Dong, what do you care about at school?"

Wang Dong said happily, "Besides good friends, what I care about most is food and fun!"

"Food and fun?"

Xiao Xiao thought about it seriously for a moment, then nodded emphatically: "Yes, these two are indeed very good, they bring joy!"

Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao were very interested in this topic, and they walked and talked, soon arriving at the gate of Shrek Academy.

From afar, they spotted a beautiful senior with long, orange-gold waves of hair, talking to a blue-eyed woman.

"Senior Nan Nan, let's go have some fun!" Xiao Xiao waved and greeted her happily.

Jiang Nannan saw Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, and smiled gently, asking, "Where do you two want to go this time?"

Jiang Nannan had already passed the selection and become a reserve team member, but Xuanzi believed that her taking a six-month leave midway was simply disrespectful to the top teaching quality of Shrek Academy on the continent.

Countless students longed to hear their Shrek teacher's lectures, yet Jiang Nannan had taken a leave of absence for as long as half a year. How could someone with such a learning attitude be fit to be a reserve team member?

Therefore, Xuanzi canceled Jiang Nannan's status as a prospective student and gave it to another student with a good martial soul quality.

This time, Wang Dong's combat power has decreased significantly compared to the original work because he lacks the "Power of Vast Winter" that he shares with Huo Gua, as well as the Martial Soul Fusion Skill "Golden Road".

In the selection competition, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao's performance was slightly inferior to Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu's Netherworld White Tiger.

Therefore, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao did not become reserve team members. They gradually became friends with Jiang Nannan, who had been stripped of her reserve team status.

Xiao Xiao asked with a mixture of curiosity and doubt, "Senior Nan Nan, your best friend, Senior Tang Ya, has become a reserve team member. Don't you feel resentful?"

"What's so unbalanced about that?"

Jiang Nannan brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and smiled, "Elder Xuan said that I missed six months of study and cannot become a reserve team member. He must have his own set of evaluation standards, and there's nothing I can change about it."

"Hmm, that makes sense."

Wang Dong agreed with him and said happily, "So, besides cultivating, we can just eat well and have fun."

Mentioning this, Xiao Xiao reminisced: "Back then, that little brother Huo Yuhao's grilled fish and skewers at Huo Ran Kai Lang's barbecue stall on the snack street were really delicious."

"But a semester has passed and I haven't seen him at all. I really miss Huo Yuhao's grilled fish and skewers."

This struck a chord with Wang Dong. For some reason, during the eleven months of this semester, she often went to the food street hoping to see Huo Ran Kai Lang barbecue stall and that touch of blue controlling the flames of the grilled skewers.

Jiang Nannan empathized: "Actually, I also really miss Huo Yuhao's... grilled fish."

A strange light flashed in her eyes. Huo Yuhao had treated her mother, and she was very grateful, but she didn't know how to repay him. She felt a sense of inadequacy and guilt.

The blue-eyed woman next to Jiang Nannan keenly picked up two key words from Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao's conversation.

She looked at Jiang Nannan, unable to hide her excitement: "Sister Nannan, after Huo Yuhao went on vacation, he took me to find a kind of herb that can cure all poisons. My problem with the Jade Phosphorus Snake Venom is about to be completely solved."

"After he took me back to Heaven Dou City, I figured it would be almost time for your Shrek Academy to have a holiday, so I came to pick you up."

Wang Dong raised his eyes and looked at her sharply, his tone filled with surprise and delight: "You've met Huo Yuhao?"

She secretly harbored the idea of ​​luring Huo Yuhao to the Haotian Sect to work as a holiday worker for a month, specifically grilling fish and skewers for her.

Dugu Luo thought Wang Dong was quite good-looking, with beautiful pinkish-blue eyes and a handsome face that was almost as good-looking as Huo Yuhao's.

"Well, Yuhao said he has an idea to open a Huoran Kailang barbecue restaurant in Mingdu."

Upon hearing this, Wang Dong's eyes lit up, and he fell into a brief moment of thought. Then, he turned his head and looked at Xiao Xiao with great joy, saying quite seriously, "Xiao Xiao, I think I know where to go for the holidays."

Xiao Xiao was equally excited, but seeing the light shining in Wang Dong's blue and pink eyes, her heart rate couldn't help but increase.

Xiao Xiao, her heart fluttering slightly, blushed and said in a voice barely audible, "Me too, Wang Dong, can you take me with you?"

Xiao Xiao tentatively said, "I really want to have another big meal of Huo Yuhao's barbecue skewers, is that okay?"

Wang Dong hesitated for a moment upon hearing this. It wasn't that he was unwilling to take her with him, but he was concerned that Xiao Xiao might interfere with his kidnapping plan.

Seeing Wang Dong hesitate, Xiao Xiao quickly persuaded her, "Wang Dong, think about it. It would be so boring if you were alone on the road. It would be much more fun if we went together. At least I could keep you company and chat with you."

Wang Dong thought about it for a moment... That makes sense. Xiao Xiao is a girl, and she has a well-behaved and likable personality. Being with her doesn't seem to have any negative impact on him.

So Wang Dong readily agreed: "Okay, Xiao Xiao, let's go together."

"Yay! This holiday won't be boring, I'm so excited!"

Xiao Xiao made no attempt to hide her excitement, and asked happily, "Wang Dong, when are you planning to leave?"

"I'm leaving as soon as I get a day off tomorrow."

Wang Dong's clear, light blue eyes sparkled with excitement. "Grilled fish, here I come!"
