Douluo Continent: Huo Yuhao obtains the Flame Emperor template
Chapter 114 Powder Blue? Close the Shop!
Chapter 114 Powder Blue? Close the Shop!
The young man in the wheelchair noticed Orange's reaction, and with a gentle, nonchalant smile on his face, asked, "Orange, do you know these people who run the barbecue restaurant?"
Ju Zi has always been sensitive, and she was even more cautious when facing this Crown Prince.
However, she didn't need to worry about this question, since the Hongchen siblings were also present, and they were all students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, so they already had a bond as classmates.
Ju Zi looked towards the kitchen of the barbecue restaurant, a slight smile on her face, and said calmly, "Your Highness, you should know those two. They are the grandson and granddaughter of Jing Hongchen, the head of Mingde Hall."
"As for the boy who is grilling fish, he is my junior. Last semester, he studied with Professor Xuan in the lab for a period of time."
"If Your Highness has been paying attention to school affairs, you should know something about him. He has exceptional talent, broke Xiao Hongchen's record, and it seems... he has already been taken in as a disciple by the Hongchen Hall Master."
As Ju Zi spoke of this, she thought of Meng Hongchen, who was always ready to take advantage of young women, and slowly shook her head, adjusting her thin-rimmed glasses. For some reason, she felt a pang of toothache.
However, her smooth, hydrated face, rich in collagen, still retained her signature lazy and innocent expression.
The young man in the wheelchair pondered the information in what the orange had said, thought it was normal, and didn't pay much attention to it, smiling calmly.
"I haven't been paying much attention to school lately, but next semester... the All-Continent Advanced Academy Soul Fighting Tournament is coming up soon, so I should start keeping an eye on it."
"But the junior you mentioned was able to break Xiao Hongchen's record; his talent is indeed remarkable."
Orange gave a soft "hmm": "Like the Hongchen siblings, he was selected as a reserve team member for this year's competition."
"This way of operating is quite interesting. Two skulls on bamboo skewers to serve the food. It fits the style of an evil spirit master so well. It doesn't seem like an act at all. Let's go take a look."
The young man in the wheelchair spoke in a gentle and calm tone. He had heard that the Master of the Red Dust Hall had sternly warned evil spirit masters not to involve the school.
However, the aura of these two skeletons was even more authentic than that of the evil spirit master; it was entirely the work of an evil spirit master.
Surely Jing Hongchen couldn't have taken in a disciple who was an exceptionally talented evil spirit master.
He slowly maneuvered his wheelchair to the kitchen, his gaze falling on Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, and he nodded and smiled.
"I never expected that the grandchildren of the Red Dust Hall Master would be so interested in opening a barbecue restaurant here."
Orange felt a little strange seeing several skeletons busily grilling food; this was a road she had never imagined.
Xiao Hongchen had noticed the two of them since they entered the store, but he hadn't gone up to greet them. Now that they had come over on their own initiative, he felt he should at least show them basic courtesy.
Stopping his work grilling skewers, Xiao Hongchen went to greet him with a bright smile, saying, "Haha, greetings to Your Highness the Crown Prince."
"I just opened it for fun. My grandfather said that this place is not very tolerant of ordinary soul masters. I didn't believe it, so I opened a barbecue restaurant here with some friends. So far, the experience is good."
The young man in the wheelchair waved his hand and smiled, "No need for formalities. Although the people who frequent this place are somewhat special, we are still within Mingdu City, so basic security shouldn't be a problem."
"Hey, isn't this junior Yuhao?"
Ju Zi looked surprised to see Huo Yuhao, adjusted her thin-rimmed glasses, and blinked her watery eyes, looking adorably dazed.
"Senior Orange?"
Huo Yuhao turned his head and looked over, equally surprised, and went to greet Xiao Hongchen.
He had already guessed who the young man in the wheelchair was, and casually greeted him, "Hello, would you two like something to eat?"
After thinking for a moment, a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes, and she spoke softly.
"Junior Yuhao, I didn't know you could grill fish! I noticed that all the customers in the shop have their fish grilled by skeletons. Could you grill some for your senior sister yourself?"
Huo Yuhao chuckled, "I'm teaching these skeletons how to grill skewers. If it's successful, I won't have to personally look after the shop anymore."
Xiao Hongchen glanced at the orange, then leaned closer to Huo Yuhao's ear and transmitted his voice through his soul power.
"Yuhao, the person in the wheelchair is none other than Xu Tianran, the Crown Prince of the Sun Moon Empire. Just bake some food for them to get by."
Xu Tianran's gaze fell on Huo Yuhao, but he frowned slightly. It had nothing to do with the barbecue restaurant or Junior Orange, but because he could feel the suppression from a superior dragon in Huo Yuhao's aura.
His Purple Radiance Annihilation Dragon Martial Soul, with its dragon bloodline level, can be described as supreme among sub-dragons.
Let alone the Sun Moon Empire, even on the entire Douluo Continent, it would be difficult to find anyone whose dragon-type martial soul could suppress him in terms of aura.
What kind of martial soul does that junior of Orange have? It actually suppressed his Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon. Could it be a True Dragon Martial Soul?
Xu Tianran fell into a brief moment of contemplation, and after a while, the expression on his face turned into a calm and serene smile.
"Yuhao, I heard from Ju Zi that your performance at school is quite outstanding. Dean Hongchen's Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy must be extremely pleased to have such a talented student like you..."
Xu Tianran rambled on for a while before finally asking the question he really wanted to ask.
"Yuhao, does your martial soul possess some kind of dragon-like aura?"
Huo Yuhao pondered for a moment, thinking about how to respond to the other party.
He did not release the aura of the Ancient Void Dragon. Even though he contained it, given the vast difference in power, Xu Tianran's so-called ancestor of sub-dragons, the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon, would still feel a faint sense of suppression.
Xiao Hongchen's eyes darted around, and he took half a step forward, stretching out his arm to block Huo Yuhao, speaking first.
"Your Highness, since Grandpa values Yuhao so much and even personally accepted him as a disciple, his talent must be exceptional."
As Xiao Hongchen spoke, he revealed a somewhat boastful expression.
"My Three-Legged Golden Toad Martial Soul, in a sense, can also be considered a divine beast Martial Soul, which is definitely much higher than the Evil-Eyed White Tiger and the Evil Fire Phoenix... And Yuhao's talent is even stronger than mine, so it shouldn't be surprising that he has some kind of dragon aura."
Although Huo Yuhao did not formally show him the opportunities he had gained during the holiday when he returned this time.
But Xiao Hongchen thought for a moment and realized that Xu Tianran's ability to ask such a question meant that it must be related to dragons.
Moreover, given Huo Yuhao's talent, surpassing even the ultimate ice and fire of the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, it wouldn't be surprising at all for him to absorb a sub-dragon level ice and fire attribute dragon.
As for how Huo Yuhao managed to find such a great opportunity and successfully obtain it, that remains to be seen.
Just look at the blonde girl carrying a gun next to him and you'll know.
This blonde girl carrying a gun clearly has an extraordinary background; she might be a prodigy from some hidden sect who has come out to train.
Furthermore, given her seemingly close relationship with Huo Yuhao, it's understandable that Huo Yuhao would have the opportunity to obtain the Dragon-level qualification with her help.
Xiao Hongchen's answer not only confirmed that Huo Yuhao possessed dragon blood, silencing Xu Tianran, but also revealed Huo Yuhao's relationship with Mingde Hall, warning him not to have any ulterior motives.
Xu Tianran listened to Xiao Hongchen's words and smiled gently. He sat calmly in his wheelchair, giving people a sense of approachability.
"Since Yuhao has such high talent, we can't waste his potential. It would be a waste not to focus on cultivating his bloodline."
As he spoke, Xu Tianran took out a rather large mahogany box from his storage soul tool. The exterior decoration looked exquisite, but when he opened it, the box was filled with different sizes of the same type of spiritual herbs.
Xu Tianran took out a plant that wasn't small and looked at Huo Yuhao gently.
"These medicinal herbs are all Dragon Soul Grass. Don't think they're worthless just because I casually put them in a wooden box."
Xu Tianran examined the Dragon Soul Grass in his hand and said in a calm tone, "Each Dragon Soul Grass is extremely rare. I just collected them all for myself."
"According to records, they were all born from the power of dragons." Xu Tianran emphasized the rarity of the Dragon Soul Grass, and then asked Ju Zi to retrieve Huo Yuhao's information at the school.
"The Spirit Eye is a spiritual-type martial soul, but what Xiao Hongchen is saying now also possesses a dragon-like aura..."
Xu Tianran looked at the soul guidance screen in front of him, a hint of doubt in his eyes. Could it be that the dragon eyes had mutated?
After briefly learning about Huo Yuhao's basic information, he showed a cryptic expression, which, in the eyes of Xiao Hongchen and the others, seemed to indicate that he wanted to recruit Huo Yuhao.
"This Dragon Soul Grass has an extremely good enhancing effect on mental attributes and dragon aura. Because it is born bathed in the might of dragons, consuming it can gradually increase the pressure of dragon aura."
Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes and chuckled a few times with a gentle smile: "It is truly a cause for celebration that Your Highness possesses such a treasure."
Xu Tianran smiled warmly and handed the Dragon Soul Grass to Huo Yuhao.
"Yuhao, if you personally cook a barbecue for me and Ju Zi, I'll give you this Dragon Soul Grass as a reward for being an outstanding student. How about it?"
Huo Yuhao pursed his lips. To be honest, he really didn't care about the Dragon Soul Grass from Douluo Continent. He knew without even thinking that it wouldn't improve the bloodline of the Ancient Void Dragon by much.
Moreover, when it comes to dragon-related spiritual herbs, the Silver Dragon King has far more than Xu Tianran.
Xiao Hongchen knew it was time to help her future brother-in-law accept the Dragon Soul Grass, so she decisively reached out and took the spiritual herb from Xu Tianran, thanking him with a smile.
"On behalf of Yuhao, I thank Your Highness for the gift!"
Xiao Hongchen, not wanting to refuse such a good thing from Xu Tianran, quickly put the Dragon Soul Grass into his storage soul tool, intending to give it to Huo Yuhao when he got back.
Seeing this, Huo Yuhao naturally agreed to the other party's request to grill the skewers himself: "No problem, Your Highness, what would you like to eat?"
Xu Tianran saw that Xiao Hongchen had accepted the Dragon Soul Grass. Although it wasn't the ideal situation, as Huo Yuhao hadn't accepted it, it was still good that Xiao Hongchen took it, since he would need the support of Mingde Hall in the future.
As for what to eat, he turned to look at the oranges.
Orange counted on her fingers and said softly, "Three grilled fish, forty lamb skewers, fifty beef skewers... all mildly spicy."
Huo Yuhao responded with "uh-huh" while controlling several skeletons to help him prepare the ingredients.
After Xu Tianran finished ordering, he maneuvered his wheelchair out of the kitchen, found a seat at random, and waited for his food to be served.
Ju Zi watched Huo Yuhao's retreating figure as he prepared the skewers, then touched her lips and pondered for a moment.
"Yuhao, how about I help you research an automatic skewering device that can automatically string together meat pieces with bamboo skewers?"
"This kind of fully automated system using a soul tool is much more convenient than having several skeletons!"
Huo Yuhao glanced back at her and thought she had quite a few ideas; no wonder Xuan Ziwen praised her as a very creative disciple.
"A few skeletons are enough for now, and don't you think my approach suits the atmosphere here?"
Ju Zi adjusted her eyelids and gave a soft laugh, which was an admission of Huo Yuhao's statement.
Any evil spirit master who walks in and sees several skeletons busily grilling skewers and serving food will feel like they've come to the right place.
Judging from the way the skeleton was controlled, it was clear that the opponent was a powerful evil spirit master.
Ju Zi then walked out of the kitchen and sat down in the shop, waiting for the Huo's Grilled Fish that reminded her of her father's cooking from the original story.
In the barbecue restaurant, any slightly famous evil spirit master would know who the young man in the wheelchair was, and their usual actions of drinking and eating skewers in large gulps became somewhat restrained.
Soon, one of the more prominent evil spirit masters, the Death Messenger, paid his bill and left the barbecue restaurant.
……
On a street near Mingde Hall.
"Wang Dong, we've walked several streets already, but we still haven't found Huo Yuhao's Huo Ran Kai Lang BBQ restaurant. Has it not opened yet?"
Xiao Xiao was somewhat discouraged. After learning some information about Huo Yuhao from the students staying at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy with Wang Dong, she went to the surrounding streets to find a barbecue restaurant.
But after several hours, nothing was found.
Wang Donglan's pink eyes revealed a hint of contemplation: "That shouldn't be the case. That student just told us that Huo Yuhao might be being kept by Miss Meng from Mingde Hall, that rich woman."
"Logically, a barbecue restaurant should be located near Mingde Hall, so why can't we find it?"
Wang Dong had prepared a large amount of gold soul coins. After finding the barbecue restaurant, he knocked Meng Hongchen unconscious and kidnapped Huo Yuhao.
But now she can't even find anyone, and her enormous wealth is of no use.
Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao were deep in thought when they suddenly saw two men dressed in black robes walking across the street.
"The newly opened Huo Ran Kai Lang BBQ restaurant is pretty good. It's received rave reviews from evil soul masters on its first day. After you pull off that big heist in Xing Luo, we'll have another good meal together, it's on me!"
"Hehe, don't worry. Don't you know about my corpse explosion? It's terrifyingly powerful. No matter who comes to me, they'll never leave alive."
Wang Dong caught the key words, his eyes lit up, and he happily stepped forward to communicate with the two men in black robes.
Several tens of minutes later, in the Holy Moon District of Mingdu, at Huo Ran Kailang Barbecue Restaurant, Huo Yuhao had just finished serving Ju Zi grilled fish skewers when he arrived at the door and was immediately stunned.
From afar, a splash of pinkish-blue could be seen, accompanied by a petite figure in light green, walking enthusiastically toward them.
Huh? What is that?
Huo Yuhao rubbed his eyes.
Light blue?!
Huo Yuhao was struck dumb. Without hesitation, he turned around and rushed back to the barbecue restaurant's kitchen: "Brother Xiao, quick, there's an emergency, close the restaurant!"
