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

Chapter 134 Personal Feud

silence.

Upon hearing this question, Tang San's expression finally changed. He naturally knew why Huo Yuhao was asking such a question.

His lips trembled, opening and closing several times, but he never uttered the answer in his heart.

After a long silence, as if he had made a decision, he relaxed his shoulders slightly and spoke in a hoarse voice.

"I have no idea."

I can't say.

This is something he absolutely cannot say out loud, otherwise, if Huo Yuhao relays it to the Seven Devils, his relationship with his former brothers will be completely over.

If he were to reveal it, his relationship with the Seven Devils would completely deteriorate.

Even if Huo Yuhao finds out himself, he might only kill that one person.

In comparison, my pain is just a minor ache, and even if I lose this opportunity, there is still a possibility of recovery. But the Seven Devils are the team I will use to fight against the God of Destruction after I replace Tang San of the God Realm. It goes without saying which is more important.

Of course, this doesn't mean he's prepared to give up on Qiluo's heart.

Suppressing his anger and murderous intent, Tang San looked at Huo Yuhao with icy eyes.

"Stop your despicable tricks of trying to sow discord. I will not use the answer to this matter to win Qiluo's heart."

"And you should understand that we now share a common enemy to some extent. Helping me is helping yourself."

"If you give me the Heart of Qiluo, I can offer you some assistance in the future."

"……help?"

As if amused by Tang San's words, Huo Yuhao looked him up and down with a strange expression, then couldn't help but shake his head with a laugh.

"You are already doing me the best you can for me."

Hearing Huo Yuhao's somewhat cryptic words, Tang San's brows furrowed sharply.

"...What do you mean?"

Huo Yuhao did not answer him. The next second, Tang San saw a fleeting dark red light in Huo Yuhao's azure eyes.

As Huo Yuhao loosened his grip on Tang San's neck, which had been like an iron clamp, Tang San collapsed to the ground as if he had lost his support.

"Let's make it clear beforehand, this is a personal grudge."

A detached voice echoed through the empty corridor. Before Tang San could react, a pain that seemed to affect his very soul surged from his injured areas.

In just a moment, Tang San felt as if the dull pain that had been causing his wounds to heal had been magnified more than tenfold.

The excruciating pain that suddenly became unbearable caused him to groan, his eyes almost bulging out, and he couldn't even let out a scream. His whole body began to twist and convulse wildly on the ground.

Seeing Tang San instinctively covering his little chin during the roll, Huo Yuhao seemed to understand something, and a strange look appeared in his eyes.

A second later, Tang San felt the pain recede like a tide.

Although it was only a brief second, under that extreme pain, time seemed to be stretched infinitely, allowing Tang San to fully experience what it felt like to live through an eternity.

It was as if he had just escaped death; the exhaustion from surviving the ordeal made his vision go black.

"Does it hurt?"

Before he completely lost consciousness, Huo Yuhao's voice, which sounded like a devil's whisper, kept echoing in his ears.

"There's still plenty of time, Tang San. You have ample time to make up for the pain I once endured..."

"I can empathize with everyone."

……

"Why are you so late?"

At the entrance of the cafeteria, after carefully checking Huo Yuhao, who had finally appeared, and confirming that he was not injured, Wang Dong'er breathed a sigh of relief and asked with concern.

"That guy wasn't targeting you, was he?"

"No, are you that concerned about me?"

Looking at Wang Dong'er, who was still somewhat uneasy and kept looking at him while holding his arm, Huo Yuhao felt an indescribable sense of absurdity about the scene before him.

He had just finished tormenting Tang San, and then he went on a date with someone else's daughter.

Most importantly, Wang Dong'er also showed him concern and care.

Even with his usually composed nature, he felt a little embarrassed at this moment.

".nonsense."

Wang Dong'er pursed her lips, then snorted coldly and retorted irritably.

"You became enemies with Tang San because of what I said, so naturally I'm responsible for your safety. You made me worry for nothing, so you're punished by having to make me grilled fish later!"

Huo Yuhao's eyelids twitched, and he asked with some suspicion, "Is this why you've been waiting here all this time?"

"No, I didn't."

Wang Dong'er blushed and hurriedly pushed Huo Yuhao towards the inside of the cafeteria.

"Eating grilled fish is just a side thing; the treasure hunt is about to start, hurry up!"

About half an hour later, when the two walked out of the cafeteria, Wang Dong'er had a satisfied smile on her face.

Combined with the slightly protruding belly that could be seen even through her school uniform, if it weren't for the slight sheen of oil on Wang Dong'er's lips, anyone who saw this scene would probably have all sorts of wild thoughts.

Whether out of curiosity about the treasure appreciation event or excitement about this date-like activity, Wang Dong'er moved incredibly fast, forcing Huo Yuhao, who was being unconsciously led by her, to quicken his pace as well.

As the two entered Shrek City, Huo Yuhao, with his exceptional eyesight, immediately recognized two figures walking not far ahead of them.

Beibei and Xu Sanshi.

Huo Yuhao wasn't surprised to encounter the two people. Even without mentioning his past life, he had met two people at the Treasure Appreciation Gathering. The number of core disciples in the entire outer academy was limited. For example, the Martial Soul Department had less than thirty people in total. This was only because Huo Yuhao's year had more than a dozen core disciples. In the past, the six grades combined probably couldn't even gather twenty.

The small number of participants, coupled with the occasional similar events held by the college that bring everyone together, means they see each other all the time.

After thinking for a moment, he did not call out to the two of them, but instead pulled Wang Dong'er to slow down his pace.

As they drew closer to the Treasure Pavilion, Wang Dong'er seemed to notice the scantily clad, curvaceous young women on both sides of the hall, and was momentarily stunned.

This scene immediately reminded Wang Dong'er of the absurd night she spent with Huo Yuhao and the others in a suite at a lovers' hotel before the holiday last year.

Her pretty face flushed red, and she subconsciously turned her head. When she saw Huo Yuhao, who was looking straight ahead and whose eyes remained calm throughout, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

This guy isn't a womanizer?

As if sensing Wang Dong'er's thoughts, Huo Yuhao snorted coldly and, without saying a word, reached out his hand to Wang Dong'er's waist and gently tickled her.

Wang Dong'er trembled and uncontrollably let out a soft moan, barely audible.

Realizing what had happened, her pretty face quickly flushed red. After looking around to make sure no one was watching, she glared at Huo Yuhao with a mixture of shame and anger.

"You bastard, you just wait!"

Before she could finish her harsh words, she abruptly stopped. Seeing Huo Yuhao's hand making a scratching motion as if by accident, Wang Dong'er wisely chose to shut up.

The girl's embarrassment and anger came and went quickly. After being attracted by the dazzling array of goods on the second floor, Wang Dong'er's resentment towards Huo Yuhao vanished in an instant.

"Hey, look at that."

Feeling the force coming from the sleeve, Huo Yuhao followed Wang Dong'er's gaze and, upon seeing the familiar golden light on the left arm bone, suddenly realized what was happening.

As she got closer, Wang Dong'er's pupils suddenly contracted after she saw the price marked on the sign.

"Nine and a half million!?"

Although the Haotian Sect was relatively wealthy, it was not an easy task for them to come up with nearly ten million gold soul coins directly. After hesitating for a moment, Wang Dong'er reluctantly withdrew her gaze.

"Let's go check out some other places."

Before she could finish speaking, she felt an irresistible force coming from Huo Yuhao's arm.

Before she could react, Huo Yuhao raised his hand and beckoned to the maid beside him.

"Hello, we'll take this. Could you please wrap it up for us?"

".?"

Wang Dong'er was dumbfounded by Huo Yuhao's boastful words, which sounded like those of a nouveau riche.

What the hell?

You think this is leftover food being packed up?

After realizing what was happening, she grabbed Huo Yuhao and questioned him in a low voice.

"Wait, wait, wait a minute, do you know what you're saying?!"

"I know."

Seeing Wang Dong'er's anxious look, Huo Yuhao nodded innocently.

"Isn't this just buying something?"

Wang Dong'er choked for a moment, a nameless anger rising in her heart.

"You have that much money?"

"No, but I don't have to pay for things here."

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao pulled her to another counter and pointed to the items inside.

"Look."

"Soul Guidance Device Blueprints?"

Wang Dong'er was a little confused, but the next second she froze on the spot.

"Signed as Huo Yuhao, Price: Six million Gold Soul Coins!?"

She suddenly turned to look at Huo Yuhao, her voice filled with shock.

"Did you make this?"

"Hmm, that's not all. Many of the blueprints here are mine. Now you know why I didn't have to pay anything, right?"

As if confirming Huo Yuhao's words, a respectful maid walked gracefully towards them, bowed to the two of them, and then spoke politely.

"Dear Mr. Huo Yuhao, we will wrap up the soul bone you requested shortly. Is there anything else you need?"
