Douluo Continent, I, Huo Yuhao, defy fate with my spiritual eyes.

Chapter 187 Persuading Orange

Orange was very troubled during this time.

Ever since she saved Xu Tianran, she was enrolled in the prestigious Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, all so that Xu Tianran could one day help her take revenge after he ascended to the throne.

However, during this period, Xu Tianran became very strange. First, he found an excuse to kill several generals, which caused his reputation to plummet.

Secondly, his excessive allocation of resources has crossed the line for the current emperor.

"Your Majesty is too hasty. If this continues, all my investments will be wasted, and I won't be able to avenge myself!"

Somewhat impatient, he picked up a flat stone and threw it forcefully into the water, the ripples shattering the orange's reflection.

Once the reflection was restored, Orange was astonished to find another figure in the reflection.

Orange immediately stood up, warily watching the figure that had suddenly appeared.

The newcomer was dressed in white robes, with a warm smile on his face. He was youthful and full of vitality, but the sense of crisis emanating from him was undeniable.

"Who are you!"

The person who arrived was naturally Huo Yuhao. He had a friendly smile on his face, but his eyes were somewhat complicated as he looked at Ju Zi.

Facing this woman who bore him a son in his previous life, she was also the first person to move his heart and leave an indelible memory in his heart.

Neither of them spoke until Ju Zi became increasingly tense, ready to explode and escape at any moment, at which point Huo Yuhao finally spoke.

"I'm here to help you."

"Help me? Help me with what? I'm Prince Xu Tianran's man, what can you possibly do to help me!"

Orange flung several round, golden-red oranges at Huo Yuhao. They exploded in mid-air amidst a cloud of smoke, and Orange turned and ran.

However, the difference in strength between the two was too great. Huo Yuhao didn't even need to use his soul skills; he could find Ju Zi's location just by listening to her voice.

Huo Yuhao's figure blurred, and he once again blocked Ju Zi's path.

"What—what exactly do you want?"

Ju Zi swallowed hard, knowing that the newcomer was definitely not someone she could fight. She dissipated her martial spirit and gritted her teeth, stubbornly saying...

Her fair skin shone brightly in the sunlight, and after exercise, it gained an extra touch of rosy radiance, so delicate that not a single pore could be seen.

"I told you I came to help you."

Knowing she couldn't escape, Orange sat down on the spot and patted the grass in front of her.

"Then tell me, what do you want to help me with?"

"I'll help you get revenge."

With just a few words, Ju Zi's eyes immediately turned sharp, as if there were countless blades in them. With a flick of her wrist, a small soul tool appeared.

"Who are you, and what do you want?!"

"The communication soul tool is useless; I've blocked all communication here. I suggest you listen to me."

Huo Yuhao slowly sat down, his eyes seemingly able to see through Ju Zi's figure to what was hidden behind her, and he smiled as he made a suggestion.

Orange took a few deep breaths, and without hiding anything, placed it between the two of them, pressing the soul tool with her last glimmer of hope.

As expected, there was no reaction whatsoever.

Orange felt as if she had fallen into an abyss, a sense of despair welling up inside her. She closed her eyes slightly and said resignedly.

"Alright, just tell me what you want me to do, and I'll do my best to give it to you without exposing you."

I want you.

"?"

Ju Zi's eyes widened suddenly, clearly stunned by Huo Yuhao's words, and her face instantly flushed red.

"You—you—you—"

Stuttering, unable to utter a single word, Orange's eyes darted around, lost in thought. Finally, she gritted her teeth and leaned back.

"Come on, don't come looking for me again after this is over."

Her brows were furrowed, clearly indicating that she wasn't as calm as she claimed.

After waiting for a while, and still not feeling Huo Yuhao's body press down on her, Ju Zi opened her eyes in confusion, propped herself up with one hand, and looked at Huo Yuhao with puzzlement.

Huo Yuhao sat there helplessly, not moving an inch.

The clever Orange immediately realized that she had misunderstood Huo Yuhao's meaning, and the blush on her face became even more noticeable, reaching all the way to behind her ears.

Her translucent pink skin, as smooth as the most tender tofu, was irresistible.

Huo Yuhao was so engrossed in watching that he could hardly take his eyes off it. He coughed a few times and forced himself to look away, a slight blush creeping onto his face.

"What I mean is that I value your talent and would like to invite you back to manage the organization."

"Please invite me?"

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Ju Zi was clearly stunned and stared at Huo Yuhao with a strange expression.

"You broke into the heavily guarded academy just to ask me to take charge of the organization?"

What's wrong with this world? Has it become so difficult to ask someone for a favor? You have to barge into the academy to book in advance.

However, Orange still shook her head and refused.

"I am the Crown Prince's man. You are trying to undermine him. If I join your organization, you will definitely be targeted by the Crown Prince."

"Don't use the Crown Prince as an excuse to refuse us. The Crown Prince can't control us. What we can give you far exceeds what Xu Tianran can give you."

Huo Yuhao smiled and directly saw through Ju Zi's little scheme.

Orange seemed somewhat at a loss, and spoke in a slightly trembling voice.

"Are you one of His Majesty's men?"

"No, I am Huo Yuhao, the master of the Spirit Pagoda, the acting master of the Sea God Pavilion, and the holy son of the Body Sect."

With the addition of the three titles, Huo Yuhao's figure seemed to grow taller and more imposing, but unfortunately, Ju Zi's eyes immediately turned cold.

"People from Douluo Continent! Then you should know who my enemies are. Are you trying to trick me?"

When facing the people from Douluo Continent, Ju Zi couldn't quite control her emotions.

Huo Yuhao wasn't annoyed and pointed to himself as he introduced himself.

"No, no, no, my name is Huo Yuhao, and I used to be called Dai Yuhao, Dai as in Dai Hao."

Orange's pupils suddenly contracted, and an overwhelming resentment almost burst forth from them, her voice becoming slightly hoarse.

"Then why did you change your surname?"

With increased strength, improved character, and the emergence of new hatred, Huo Yuhao is now able to confront the hatred from back then.

"Because I hate Dai Hao too. If it weren't for him, my mother wouldn't be living such a miserable life!"

Huo Yuhao slowly and briefly recounted his childhood to Ju Zi.

"Since you married my mother, why haven't you seen her even once in all these years? Is it so difficult for you to see a woman who has given her whole life for you?"

As she listened to Huo Yuhao's narration, Ju Zi's expression became complicated, showing both the joy of encountering a kindred spirit and the pain of recalling hatred.

She could tell that Huo Yuhao's hatred was absolutely genuine, because she had seen that expression on herself before. It was an emotion from the deepest part of his heart, impossible to fake.

"What kind of organization have you put me in charge of? And what will I get in return?"

"I need you to manage all the organizations for me, including the Sea God Pavilion, the Spirit Pagoda, and the Body Sect, and even a vast empire in the future."

Upon hearing the last part, Ju Zi's expression suddenly changed drastically. She stared at Huo Yuhao's face in disbelief, trying to see if he was joking.

But no, what Ju Zi saw was Huo Yuhao's extremely serious and determined expression.
