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

Chapter 21 The Adult World is All About Pros and Cons

Once the cooperation was finalized, the next part was just tedious wrangling over interests.

From the very beginning, Tang Ya kept circling around the bottom line price given by Huo Yuhao, which made Verina even more convinced that Tang Ya had a powerful backer. Otherwise, how could a ten-year-old girl know so much about the price of soul tools?

Soon, the negotiations came to an end. Tang Ya handed an ordinary storage ring to Verina, who then passed it on to the middle-aged man who had remained silent.

After feeling the ring for a moment, the middle-aged man opened his eyes and nodded slightly to Verina. Although he seemed calm and collected, an energy of original sin called greed was surging from his body.

The energy provided by the Title Douluo directly accelerated the unlocking progress of Huo Yuhao's original sin of greed.

There was an unexpected bonus.

Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow. Over the past year of selling grilled fish, he had absorbed some original sin energy such as jealousy and greed from other envious vendors. However, since they were all ordinary people without soul power, he hadn't made much progress. This time, the other party alone provided far more than he had absorbed in the previous year.

Seeing the middle-aged man nod, Verina no longer hesitated, and also took out a ring containing a mixture of gold soul coins and rare metals, and handed it to Tang Ya with a smile.

"I believe that the Tang Sect has more than just these soul tools in its reserves, and I hope there will be more opportunities for cooperation in the future."

Tang Ya seemed not to understand the other person's teasing, and accepted the ring with a smile.

"If we make a discovery, there will be an opportunity."

"Now that the transaction is complete, we won't stay any longer. Farewell."

As she spoke, she got up with Huo Yuhao and walked towards the door. Just then, Verina called out to her again.

"Wait a moment, Miss Tang Ya."

Tang Ya stopped and turned around, only to see Verina ask softly, "I am also very sorry about what happened to your sect. If you need help, we can assist you."

"unnecessary."

Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted. Tang Ya calmly said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, but it's better to handle your own affairs yourself."

After saying that, she opened the door and walked out with Huo Yuhao.

Snapped.

The door was closed, and silence fell over the room. Verina looked at the middle-aged man.

"Dean Ding, how is it?"

"Looks like I was overthinking it."

The middle-aged man shook his head, sighed, and sounded somewhat incredulous.

"Has Shrek Academy's soul tools developed to this point without us even realizing it?"

You have to understand, the glove sample alone was enough to shock him. Even in Mingde Hall, this thing was definitely a top-of-the-line product of low-end soul tools, and it would never be allowed to circulate outside.

If this is truly a product of Shrek Academy, wouldn't that mean that Shrek Academy's soul tools are already comparable to or even surpass those of Mingde Hall?

What's the point of them playing these Three Kingdoms games? They might as well just quit.

Just then, Mu Xue, who had been silent all along, spoke up, "Could it be that, as Uncle Dean said, there is a top-tier Soul Master helping the Tang Sect?"

At this point, she added, "I felt that the boy who was about my age earlier was a bit strange."

Verina didn't immediately refute, but instead smiled and explained, "Muxue, Dean Ding said that the maker's skill in creating soul tools is no less than his, so it's impossible for him to be a child."

"But these are all low-level soul tools, which low-level soul masters can make, right?" Mu Xue tilted her head. "Maybe they're geniuses among geniuses?"

Verina's words caught in her throat, but Dean Ding shook his head.

"Impossible. I've sensed it. One of them has a soul power of one ring, and the other doesn't even have one ring. They probably can't even make a soul tool."

Receiving this batch of soul tools clearly put him in a good mood, and he even started joking around.

"Muxue, you're still young and don't understand soul tool masters. Creating this kind of soul tool isn't just about talent; it also requires accumulation. If it really was that child who made it, he probably started learning about soul tools from the womb, right?"

After saying that, he couldn't help but laugh, laughing very happily, and Verina next to him also laughed.

For a moment, the whole room was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

It wasn't until after leaving the hotel and turning two corners that Tang Ya lowered her voice and asked.

"Is someone following us?"

Huo Yuhao's lips twitched. He had just been wondering why the other person was still so tense.

"No, don't worry."

"call--"

Tang Ya suddenly relaxed her shoulders, then took out the storage ring, held it high, and shouted excitedly.

"Get rich! Get rich!"

Upon meeting Huo Yuhao's strange gaze, she abruptly stopped, then coughed lightly twice in a serious manner, and handed the ring to Huo Yuhao as if seeking praise.

"How did I perform?"

"Impressive. I doubt even Verina realized this was your first negotiation."

Huo Yuhao smiled and nodded, sincerely giving his evaluation before accepting the ring.

"Of course, don't you even know your sister Xiaoya?"

Listening to the other party's words, Huo Yuhao maintained a gentle smile, touched the ring to his storage bracelet, and then returned it to Tang Ya.

"There's also a portion for you."

The moment the other person took it, they let out a scream, "Ah!"

Startled, Huo Yuhao quickly looked at her, "What's wrong?"

Tang Ya looked at him with a complicated expression and lowered her voice.

"You're giving too much, aren't you?"

Huo Yuhao only took a portion of the rare metals and gold soul coins from the storage space. If we calculate it, it's about 60% less, which means Huo Yuhao left her 40%.

"Didn't I already say it? Sixty-four percent."

"When did you say that?"

Huo Yuhao thought for a moment, then looked a little embarrassed, "It seems you interrupted me, and I didn't have a chance to say it."

However, Tang Ya stopped joking and continued to watch him quietly.

Why?

She knew very well that even if she had played a role in this matter, at most she had only helped to contact the Heavenly Soul Royal Family and acted as someone standing on the surface; she was definitely not worth that much money.

"Don't underestimate yourself; your role is much greater than you think."

Huo Yuhao pursed his lips and spoke gently, "This is just the beginning. We'll still need Tang Sect's connections in the future. Consider this a reward for your hard work running around. Besides, aren't we friends?"

"But friends shouldn't say these things, and I'm not helping you for these reasons."

Tang Ya was interrupted by Huo Yuhao's gentle voice before she could finish speaking.

"If there's anything I can teach you on your path to adulthood..."

At this point, Huo Yuhao paused, then laughed, "That's the point: 'knowing how to rely on friends'."

"When we were kids, we were friends, but the adult world is all about profit and loss. So let's just be good friends who use each other."

Tang Ya was stunned for a moment, then silently lowered her head. Behind her bangs, there seemed to be glistening liquid dripping down. She sniffed, her voice choked with sobs and a hint of resentment.

"He's clearly a few years younger than me, but he talks like an old man."

"Um?"

Huo Yuhao was taken aback. "Really?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Tang Ya's suppressed laughter and heard her shoulders sway slightly. Huo Yuhao's face darkened, and he shook his head as he walked home.

Behind him, Tang Ya suddenly raised her head, wiped away her tears with a smile, quickened her pace to catch up, hugged Huo Yuhao's neck, and said with a playful laugh.

"Xiao Yuhao, I suddenly know the direction I want to take in the future."

"Oh?"

"Support type".

Huo Yuhao stopped and looked at Tang Ya with some surprise. He saw her raise her hand, and the Blue Silver Grass in her palm slowly changed, gradually turning from a crystal clear blue to a deep blue-black.

After revealing the true nature of her martial soul to Huo Yuhao, Tang Ya explained softly.

"My Blue Silver Grass is actually a Dark Blue Silver Grass with the talent of devouring. It can devour soul power and life force. If I go down the support type in the future, I can give this power back to my teammates in battle."

Huo Yuhao immediately understood the other party's idea. In this way, Tang Ya's Dark Blue Silver Grass would combine the effects of controlling and weakening the opponent, restoring soul power, and healing.

Having her in the team is like having an extra healing bottle that can be used by the whole team in battle, and this healing bottle will also continuously devour the opponent's soul power and life force.

Seeing Huo Yuhao's surprised expression, Tang Ya smiled happily.

"That makes me even more useful, doesn't it?"
