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

Chapter 365 Huo Yun'er: So many!? (Published at 6 PM)

Heavenly Soul Palace.

Once everything was arranged, Gu Yuena finally arrived at the palace, albeit belatedly.

"Is everything resolved?"

Ignoring the puzzled looks from everyone, she casually wrapped her arms around Huo Yuhao's waist from behind and asked softly.

"Yes, thanks to you this time."

Huo Yuhao lowered his eyes and then asked the question that concerned him most: "How is my mother now?"

"Hearing the commotion coming from the palace, I first took her for a stroll around Tiandou City. We even ran into Jiang Nannan's mother on the way."

Gu Yuena blinked: "The two of them should be ordering food at the restaurant right now."

"Restaurant?"

Upon hearing Gu Yuena's words, a look of confusion flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes: "Why are you suddenly going to a restaurant?"

Before he could finish speaking, as if he had realized something, his heart contracted without warning, and his body stiffened.

"Um?"

Seeing that he seemed to have realized what was happening, Gu Yuena blinked twice and said, feigning confusion.

"It's not easy to come back to Tiandou City, and there are so many people here. I thought there would be one or two people who would like to have a meal with your mother."

As she spoke, her amethyst-like eyes swept around meaningfully, taking in the sudden change in everyone's gazes before turning to Huo Yuhao with a half-smile.

What do you think?

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in the room instantly became tense and silent.

Upon hearing Gu Yuena's meaningful words, apart from Qiu'er, Tang Ya, and Jiang Nannan, who had already been living together, all eyes turned to Huo Yuhao, making him sweat even more.

"Well, I think..."

Huo Yuhao kept wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, trying hard to force a smile, but all that appeared on his face was guilt.

Profound, intriguing, and scrutinizing.

Feeling the various gazes cast upon him by those around him, he felt a moment of disorientation, as if he were seeing his own omen of death flashing wildly.

Never before had he so sincerely hoped that something unexpected would happen next.

Whether it's Tang San from the God Realm suddenly descending to the mortal realm to cause him trouble, or a massive crisis of the end of the world suddenly erupting, as long as it gives him a reason to leave, that's fine.

Why don't I rush to the God Realm right now, merge with the seven original sin sources like in my previous life, and perish together with Tang San's original body?

Since it all comes down to death anyway, maybe dying this way is more honorable?

Finally, a soft laugh broke the silence in the hall.

As if seeing Huo Yuhao's embarrassed expression for the first time, Ye Xishui, who was leaning against the entrance of the main hall, couldn't help but burst into hearty laughter.

It's true what they say, one thing can subdue another. This lawless little rascal has actually met his match today?

Fortunately, her interruption visibly eased the previously oppressive atmosphere.

Ma Xiaotao coughed lightly and said in a seemingly indifferent manner.

"Thinking about it, it's really a bit of a mistake that I haven't visited Yuhao's mother even after knowing him for so long."

She looked at Huo Yuhao with a half-smile, her tone flippant: "I just wonder if Yuhao would let me mooch a meal too?"

Huo Yuhao opened his mouth, but before he could speak, Ling Luochen nodded in agreement.

"This is a rare opportunity; we should definitely give them a visit."

Quite unusually, she didn't contradict her arch-enemy. Looking at the white-haired boy whose forehead was sweating profusely, she said in a completely calm tone, "If it's convenient, please count me in."

Can I say it's inconvenient?

Huo Yuhao, the cat, shed tears.

Not only Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen, but everyone else seemed to be affected by his words, and they all hesitated to speak, looking at him expectantly.

Fine, so be it, let me die.

Like a warrior who has completely given up on life and chosen to face death head-on, Huo Yuhao's tense body suddenly relaxed, and he managed to squeeze out a smile that was even uglier than crying.

"In that case, as a token of our gratitude for this operation, let's all go together."

"Okay, that's all for now. We'll order more if it's not enough. You can go now."

Huo Yun'er put the menu back on the waiter's tray and waited until the waiter left the room before letting out a long sigh of relief and murmuring something in an expectant tone.

"I wonder how Yuhao has become all these years."

"Haven't seen you for years, you've probably gotten even more handsome, haven't you?"

Glancing at the dining table in front of them, which could easily seat nearly twenty people, Jiang Wanjun chuckled and teased, "And judging from the looks of it, Yuhao has quite a few companions who came to Tiandou City this time?"

Huo Yun'er clearly hadn't realized the seriousness of the situation, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.

"It seems he has indeed made quite a few like-minded friends over the years, which puts my mind at ease."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a crisp knock came from outside the door.

coming!

The two perked up, and Huo Yun'er sat up a little straighter, cleared her throat, and then called out softly.

"Please come in."

Click—

The room door opened with a click, revealing the familiar faces of Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan.

"Auntie, it's been a long time."

Huo Yun'er's eyes lit up: "We were just wondering if you two would come together, but we didn't expect you two to actually come back with Yuhao. Please have a seat."

However, before she could finish speaking, she saw the two beautiful figures behind them, each with their own unique features, and her expression froze slightly.

Oh my god

Taking in the tense and expectant expressions on everyone's faces with a somewhat bewildered look, Huo Yun'er had a flash of inspiration. Then, as if she had grasped something, she was greatly shocked.

Not

What has my son been doing all these years?!

That's way too much!

In the corridor, Gu Yuena glanced at the crowd standing at the door, then subconsciously turned her head to look at Huo Yuhao, who looked utterly dejected, and tilted her head.

"Is this what they call 'what the hell is going to do'?"

"Stop talking, I'm already starting to regret my impulsive actions."

Huo Yuhao raised his hand to cover his face, silently shedding tears.

Although he hadn't seen his mother in person yet, just hearing the sudden silence in the room was enough for him to imagine how interesting Huo Yun'er's expression must be.

孽 孽!

He should have used a Heart of Despair on himself first to calm himself down.

Most importantly, this group is not the whole group.

Sister Lexuan, who was too busy to leave Shrek Academy, and Ju Zi and Meng Hongchen from the Sun Moon Empire, oh, and perhaps Xu Jiujiu from the Star Luo Empire as well.

Just thinking about what would happen in the future made Huo Yuhao feel like his scalp was about to explode, and he felt a chill run down his spine.

However, this was not the end. Suddenly, a white light burst forth from Huo Yuhao's body without warning, and soon, a girl dressed in a snow-white dress, just like Gu Yuena, separated from him.

It was none other than the Snow Emperor, the leader of the three great heavenly kings of the far north.

Without prior arrangement, Gu Yuena and Qiu'er narrowed their eyes slightly.

Since ancient times, kings have never met. If the few standing at the door are insignificant fish and shrimps with almost no competitiveness and not worth their attention, then Xue Di is an undeniably powerful rival that even Gu Yuena must take seriously.

Although Xue Di is far behind her in terms of strength, since becoming Huo Yuhao's soul spirit, the two have been in a state of mental connection through the Martial Soul Fusion Technique almost all the time, so it is conceivable how much of a threat she poses.

However, Xue Di seemed oblivious to the hostility between the two and looked at Huo Yuhao with a light laugh.

"Since the situation can't get any worse, do you mind if I join in the fun?"

"Hello, aunties. My name is Xiao Xiao, and these two are Wang Dong'er and Zhu Lu. We heard you live in Tiandou City, so as Yuhao's friends, we thought we'd come and pay you a visit. Hope we haven't bothered you?"

"No, no, the girls are so pretty. Thank you for being friends with Yuhao. Please have a seat."

"Thank you, Auntie. Oh, by the way..."

With a sweet smile at Huo Yun'er, Xiao Xiao suddenly seemed to remember something and took out two exquisitely designed small boxes from her storage space, handing them to the two of them.

"This is a small gift I prepared for you two aunties. I hope you like it."

At the same time, Wang Dong'er and Zhu Lu, who were relatively shy, also took out the gifts they had prepared and handed them to Huo's mother and Jiang's mother in the same manner.

"I'm already so happy that you kids could come here, there's no need for you to prepare gifts."

"Oh, Auntie, please accept this. Yuhao has helped us a lot at the academy over the years, so it's only right that we prepare a gift. If you don't want to accept it, I'll feel embarrassed to freeload here."

"You little girl, then Auntie will accept this time. Since you all get along so well with Yuhao, you can come and play at Auntie's place more often when you have time."

At this point, Huo Yun'er couldn't help but glance sideways at the open doorway of the room, and let out a resentful snort.

"That brat hasn't been able to come home for years, so I can only hope you can tell me about his life at the academy."

"Definitely, definitely."

Xiao Xiao agreed with a smile, then pulled her two best friends, who were so nervous they could barely speak, to greet Jiang Nannan's mother before finding a seat.

The greetings continued, and as Ye Guyi, Nan Qiuqiu, and others took their seats one after another amidst Huo Yun'er's smiles, Huo Yuhao finally peeked out cautiously, clinging to the door frame.

"mom"

Huo Yun'er trembled slightly. When she saw Huo Yuhao's appearance, which had changed considerably and was very similar to the Snow Emperor behind her, she couldn't help but be stunned.

Fortunately, she had learned from a previous experience, so she wasn't too shocked. After realizing what had happened, her previously decent expression immediately fell.

"You brat, you still remember you have a mother? You haven't come back to visit in years, I thought you'd forgotten about us."

After saying that, her face suddenly changed and a smile bloomed again. She raised her hand to beckon to Gu Yuena and the other two behind Huo Yuhao.

"Gu Yuena, Qiu'er, and E..."

Seemingly sensing Huo Yun'er's predicament, the Snow Empress took the initiative to introduce herself, saying, "Just call me Snow Maiden."

"Snow Woman, right? I'll remember that. Come on, all three of you, sit down quickly."

Huo Yuhao stared in disbelief at the scene before him, completely dumbfounded.

Seriously, is this discrimination really that obvious? Who's your son anyway?

Why do I feel like I'm the outsider?

Fortunately, Huo Yun'er was just saying it. After greeting everyone, she patted the empty seat next to her that she had reserved for her son from beginning to end.

"What are you standing there for? Come and sit down."

Whether it was because he hadn't heard his mother's voice for a long time or because the scene before him was so vivid that it was somewhat unexpected, Huo Yuhao felt a sudden sense of disorientation.

It was like a beautiful dream.

Only when all of this happens do we realize how unnecessary our previous worries were.

Surrounded by this lively scene, he suddenly felt that the situation wasn't so bad after all.

An indescribable sense of fulfillment and peace spread through Huo Yuhao's heart, and he couldn't help but curl his lips into a genuine smile of joy.

"They're here."

He responded softly to Huo Yun'er's words and strode towards his designated spot.
