Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 1110 Wang Dong'er, the Housekeeper (6K)

"If it's not Auntie or Nan Nan's mom coming, hehe."

Xu Sanshi didn't say much, but judging from his silly grin, Huo Yuhao could guess that it was only around that time that he truly gained Jiang Nannan's complete approval and successfully won her heart.

"Besides," Xu Sanshi said indignantly, taking a bite of the grilled fish Huo Yuhao handed him, "you're allowed to slack off while grilling fish outside, so what if I slack off for a little while?"

"Many old interest groups within the Douling Empire have been wiped out by the Sun Moon Empire. I'm too lazy to deal with those matters of people's livelihood and politics, so I promoted a group of officials from other places to the capital and handed everything over to them."

"Anyway, you and Princess Vina had already talked about it before, right? The three great empires of Douluo Continent will all be restructured in the future, and it will be a major overhaul."

"If that's the case, why should I bother? By the time I've become familiar with a bunch of ministers and gathered a group of people around me, wouldn't that just cause trouble when you come to reform the system?"

Huo Yuhao gave a helpless, bitter smile upon hearing this.

It must be said that Xu Sanshi's words do make some sense. Although Xu Sanshi now holds the highest political power in the Douling Empire, he is not immersed in the political circle.

Even if he were to implement reforms later, those people would find it difficult to get help from Xu Sanshi, thus hindering the reform process.

"I wasn't slacking off on purpose, I was..."

Huo Yuhao wanted to defend his decision to grill the fish, but after thinking about it, he just shrugged: "I have to wait for Dean Qian and the others to fix that helmet before I can move, right?"

Xu Sanshi rolled his eyes, looking at him with an expression that said, "See if I believe you or not."

Since repelling the Sun and Moon Army that invaded the Douling Empire and moving into the palace, he has been overwhelmed by stacks of memorials.

Not only Xu Sanshi, but also a group of students in Shrek Academy's inner courtyard stared at each other, getting up early every day to help Xu Sanshi process memorials, working until late at night to finish, and they were exhausted.

This is just managing an empire, and it's the result of having a group of classmates helping with the analysis and advice.

Huo Yuhao's workload is no less than that of the temporary emperor who has to review memorials; he's clearly slacking off!

"Hey, Yuhao, your grilled fish tastes so much better than before!"

Xu Sanshi took another bite of the grilled fish and his eyes lit up. The grilled fish had a firm and chewy texture. With one bite, the salty and fresh sea flavor burst in his mouth, and the juices splashed everywhere. It was several levels better than the grilled fish he had eaten before.

Huo Yuhao proudly raised his head: "Of course! The grilled fish we used to have were just grass carp from the river. The fish we're grilling now are sardines that I encountered when I visited the Sea Princess's clan in the North Sea."

"Of the sardines here, the Demon Soul Great White Shark King Little White took twenty tons, and I have a little bit left. I'll use it to make grilled fish for everyone. Most of them are sardine soul beasts with ten years of cultivation, so the taste is naturally good."

"Furthermore, I now use the ultimate fire to grill fish, and my mental strength has also improved several levels. Isn't it normal that my control over the heat is much better than before?"

"Then why did you only buy one gold string of three and five silver strings?"

Xu Sanshi raised an eyebrow. Sardines from the North Sea, and they're soul beasts at that. The cost of these alone is more than this.

"Does money even matter?"

Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow, secretly pleased.

This is the life of the rich: simple, unpretentious, and boring. They even lose money to grill fish for everyone!

"Your Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear Tenderloin is ready."

Huo Yuhao sprinkled a pinch of seasoning on the grilled pork tenderloin and handed it to Xu Sanshi, who immediately swallowed hard.

He had been craving this for a long time. Although the meat of this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was from many years ago, the texture of the meat had not changed after being frozen by the ultimate ice, so it was still edible!

Besides, this is, after all, meat from a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, and it was personally cooked by Huo Yuhao, a top chef. Countless people would love to eat it but can't get their hands on it.

After taking a bite of a third of the grilled pork tenderloin, Xu Sanshi squinted his eyes in bliss, and after a long while, he managed to utter a single word.

"fragrant!"

Many of the students queuing behind them swallowed hard.

This senior from the inner courtyard had clearly eaten grilled fish many times. This was evident from his conversation and his behavior while eating the fish; at most, he would only praise it.

Such exquisite delicacies as Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear Tenderloin, which are so delicious that it takes a long time to utter a single word after just one bite, are clearly something that the other party rarely gets to taste.

How delicious must it be to make this senior, who has eaten grilled fish many times, look this beautiful?

Many trainees subconsciously reached into their pockets, but ultimately sighed helplessly.

A thousand gold soul coins for a skewer of roasted meat weighing less than two ounces is too extravagant; one bite costs more than three hundred gold soul coins!

No matter how rich they are, they can't afford to squander money like this—especially since most of their money has already been plundered by the academy.

The top-tier soul beast soul rings left behind during various beast tides are all incredibly valuable.

I can't afford it anymore, I really can't afford it!

Well, let's just smell the aroma and pretend we've already eaten it.

Many trainees secretly sniffed the grilled dark gold dinosaur tenderloin as if they had also taken a bite, and their eyes immediately became a little dazed.

Huo Yuhao first looked down at the grilled fish in his hand, then slowly raised his head.

Still not working?

Yes, Huo Yuhao's sudden decision to set up a stall at the academy gate wasn't because he was bored; rather, he wanted to see if he could attract the attention of Rong Nianbing, the God of Emotions.

However, it seems that this is not feasible at present. I don't know if it is because the food I made is not good enough to meet the other party's standards, or if the other party's control over Douluo Continent is still terrifyingly strong.

Based on his first conversation with Rong Nianbing, Huo Yuhao was more inclined to believe the latter.

After finishing grilling all the fish, Huo Yuhao quietly stood behind Wang Dong'er, who was setting up the accounts, and hugged her.

"You're counting this little bit of money over and over again? Aren't you one of the richest girls in our college?"

Huo Yuhao gently bit Wang Dong'er's cute earlobe, his tone playful.

"snort."

Wang Dong'er was so startled by Huo Yuhao's attack that she almost collapsed into his arms. After hearing Huo Yuhao's words, she immediately felt indignant.

"You may have money, but you're not good at managing a household. If I don't keep track of the accounts for you, we'll both end up begging on the streets."

Wang Dong'er scoffed, "You're enough to spend money. After a battle, you could easily spend a billion or two billion, or even fifty or a hundred billion. Who can compare to you in spending money?"

After Wang Dong'er said that, Huo Yuhao couldn't hold back anymore.

You know what, you really do know, he really does spend money exactly the way Wang Dong'er described.

But you can't blame him for that. Back then, Du Bu Si was almost beaten to death by Long Xiao Yao. If he hadn't gone out in his experimental body number one suit, there probably wouldn't be a Du Bu Si in the Douluo Continent!
