Douluo Continent: Reborn as Yuhao, they all have ulterior motives.

Chapter 11 New Home

Huo Yuhao thought for a moment and then listed out the specifications and dimensions of the oven, as well as the other matching iron racks, leaving the middle-aged man stunned.

"That's about it. The quality needs to be good."

After explaining his needs, Huo Yuhao took out a gold soul coin from his pocket. "Is this enough?"

"That's enough. Actually, all you need to do is pay a deposit. The oven you want isn't difficult to get; you can come and pick it up tomorrow."

The middle-aged man's face lit up with joy. He quickly took out a piece of paper, wrote a receipt, handed it to Huo Yuhao, and then accepted the gold soul coin.

Huo Yun'er, who was standing to the side, originally wanted to bargain, but seeing Huo Yuhao's generous appearance, she ultimately swallowed her words.

After finishing with the grill, the two began looking for suitable accommodations. After visiting several places, Huo Yun'er would subtly tug at Huo Yuhao's hand every time the agent quoted a high price, which made Huo Yuhao chuckle.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

Huo Yun'er couldn't help but roll her eyes and said irritably, "Of course I'm telling you not to waste your money. Those houses don't look anything special, and the rent is so expensive, yet you kept looking at them."

"Um"

Huo Yuhao pondered seriously for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded in agreement, "Mom's right, let's go look at the villa now!"

Huo Yun'er, who was initially pleased that her son had listened to her advice, turned pale and gave Huo Yuhao a flick on the forehead without any hesitation.

"You brat, are you trying to drive me crazy?"

"Ahem, Mom, don't worry, your son has money now."

Huo Yuhao didn't reveal much about the bracelet Zhu Lu gave him to Huo Yun'er. He only said that someone secretly gave it to him after his martial soul awakened and told him to leave the Duke's mansion as soon as possible.

Although Huo Yun'er was puzzled, she didn't think too much about it. She assumed that some kind-hearted person who knew Dai Hao was about to take action couldn't stand it and secretly helped the mother and son. She even told Huo Yuhao that he must repay the person in the future.

"But we can't waste money! There will be many expenses in the future, so a decent place to live is fine."

"Mom, have you forgotten about my grilled fish? With that grill we just got, we won't have to worry about money anymore. Food, clothing, shelter, and transportation are the most important things, and we can't be careless about them. Besides, the areas with cheap rent aren't very safe, so we have to think about safety first."

Upon hearing the word "safety," Huo Yun'er immediately thought of Huo Yuhao from the Duke's mansion who had almost been kidnapped, and she stopped arguing and nodded helplessly.

Seeing that his mother had finally given in, Huo Yuhao was overjoyed and immediately pulled her along to continue choosing.

Of course, living in a villa is just talk; Huo Yuhao really can't afford to rent one right now, and besides, it would be difficult to manage a house that's too big for just him and his mother.

"This house is a duplex with two floors. There is a small attic above the two floors, which can be used as a storage room. The first floor has a living room, kitchen, dining room, etc., as well as two empty rooms that can be used as a workspace. The second floor also has many rooms, four in total, which is very convenient for receiving relatives and friends when they come to visit."

"To be honest, this place is excellent in terms of both location and layout, and the view from the window is also great. The previous tenant just moved out not long ago, so it's been vacant for a while now. The rent is 15 gold soul coins per year, and you need to pay a deposit for two years. If you rent for five years or more at once, you can waive the deposit."

After listening to the landlord's introduction, Huo Yuhao first glanced at Huo Yun'er. Seeing that she was looking at the room's decorations with a slightly brighter look, he nodded and took out a bag of gold soul coins.

"I'll take this one, for a six-year lease."

The landlord's eyes lit up. Landlords often prefer long-term leases because they don't have to go through the hassle of finding new tenants.

"If you want a long-term lease, I can offer you a cheaper price; it will only cost twelve gold soul coins per year."

From the moment Huo Yun'er signed the contract and received the keys, they finally had a new home in Tiandou City.

Although she was still a little heartbroken about the money, the joy of moving to a new home overshadowed it. She hadn't expected that after escaping from the Duke's mansion, life would not be as difficult as she had imagined; instead, everything was moving in a positive direction.

She subconsciously glanced at Huo Yuhao, who was tidying up the new house, and silently recalled what her son had done over the past month.

After arranging the bedding, pots, pans, and other daily necessities he had bought along the way, Huo Yuhao stood up and let out a long sigh of relief. He felt very cheerful, even though he had been traveling around the city all day, he didn't feel tired at all.

It not only changes one's own destiny, but also the destiny of one's mother and other acquaintances, leading them towards a different future.

Perhaps this is the meaning of my rebirth.

"Yuhao".

The gentle call made Huo Yuhao turn his head subconsciously. He saw the other person sitting on the edge of the bed, her gentle eyes filled with complex emotions, just quietly looking at him, which made his heart tighten.

"What's wrong, Mom?"

Huo Yun'er patted the seat next to her, gesturing for him to sit down. "I just feel like we haven't had a proper conversation in a long time. Let's talk to Mom."

After Huo Yuhao sat down beside her, Huo Yun'er carefully examined his youthful and inexperienced face.

"Yuhao".

"Um."

Huo Yuhao subconsciously responded, and Huo Yun'er gently raised her hand and tenderly stroked his eyebrows and eyes again and again. Gradually, Huo Yuhao's heart relaxed in this tranquil atmosphere, but Huo Yun'er's next words made his body subconsciously tense up.

"You must have suffered a lot in the future, right?"

Thunder roared, and a sudden downpour descended as night fell.

The moonlight, broken by the dark clouds, slanted down onto the floor of the room. Looking out the window, the neon lights on the street became the main theme of the night, and the bustling voices were soothed by the raindrops, bringing a sense of peace.

But at that moment, Huo Yuhao's heart jumped up and pounded violently.

"After going through so much, even the most oblivious mother should be able to see the changes in her son."

A gentle smile appeared on Huo Yun'er's face, and his image was reflected in her bright eyes.

"Although I don't know what you've been through, I can tell that you're still the same Xiao Yuhao."

Huo Yuhao lowered his head, unable to hold back the urge to cry.

Memories of watching helplessly as his mother grew thinner and thinner until she was bedridden in his past life flooded back. Now that he had regained what he had lost, he trembled as he reached out and hugged Huo Yun'er, bursting into tears.

"Mom, I'm so sorry, so sorry."

Just like when they were children, Huo Yun'er gently stroked Huo Yuhao's hair, speaking softly as if telling a story.

"No matter how much suffering Mom endures, it's nothing compared to you coming to my side, Yuhao—"

Huo Yun'er paused for a moment, then spoke with a light laugh.

"Thank you for being my child."
