Douluo Continent: The Spirit-Eyed Detective Huo Yuhao

If someone I know sees this...

Xiao Xiao shuddered; she dared not think any further.

She stuffed the stack of papers covered in writing into her small purse, then looked around to make sure she didn't recognize anyone.

"Phew, nobody's here."

Xiao Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ah, it's Xiao Tianlu, hello."

Suddenly someone tapped her on the shoulder, startling her.

Xiao Xiao turned her head and saw that it was Wang Dong, who was fluttering her butterfly wings as she fell from the sky. No wonder she hadn't seen her before.

"What is Xiao Tianlu?! That's too domineering! This time even the number of characters is wrong! It's Xiao Xiao, Xiao Xiao. It's clearly two identical and easy-to-remember names, why can't I remember them?!" Xiao Xiao complained.

"Hehe, sorry." Wang Dong smiled apologetically.

"You rascal..." Seeing her like that, Xiao Xiao couldn't stay angry anymore.

Never mind, after all, I included him in what I wrote...

"What's this?" Wang Dong asked, pointing to Xiao Xiao's waist.

"Oh dear!" Xiao Xiao then realized that her bag was not closed properly, and part of the manuscript paper was sticking out. She hurriedly closed the bag and said repeatedly, "No, no, there's nothing there."

If I get caught, my student life will be over.

"Heh." Wang Dong smiled mysteriously, sensing that Xiao Xiao was trying to hide something, but she had no intention of prying into other people's secrets.

"Wang...Wang Dong, what are you doing flying around everywhere?" Xiao Xiao quickly changed the subject.

"Huo Yuhao asked me to take pictures of all the carnival scenes so we can put them in the newspaper later." Wang Dong snapped a picture of a flustered Xiao Xiao and waved the camera in his hand.

"Okay, I'm going back to filming."

After saying that, Wang Dongfei flew into the sky.

"This guy... he seems like a girl." Xiao Xiao calmed down and turned to walk towards the crowd.

Because of the carnival, the roads were very crowded, making it difficult for the small-statured Xiao Xiao to move forward.

"Excuse me, could you please move aside?"

The little girl squeezed through the gaps between people.

"What's wrong with these people? Why aren't they moving?" Xiao Xiao complained, feeling miserable from all the jostling and pushing.

wrong!

Xiao Xiao realized something was wrong, and she stared wide-eyed at the crowd around her.

"These people are really not moving!"

Unlike the bustling activity in other areas, this area suddenly became quiet.

They've been taken into custody.

Xiao Xiao knew what caused this; she herself could do it too—it must be some kind of control-type martial soul.

“Where…” Xiao Xiao stood still, scanning her surroundings to avoid attracting attention. The guy who suddenly controlled so many people was definitely not a good person.

thud

A bell rang.

At this moment, the crowd stirred, but their expressions were not normal; each person had an angry look on their face.

"You fucking squeezed me!"

You stepped on my foot, you bastard!

Shouting similar things, people would start fighting, and chaos would ensue.

Xiao Xiao possesses the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, which combines top-tier aura and suppressive power, and will not be affected by the chaotic bell tolling.

"With so many people in chaos, things will get out of control."

Xiao Xiao felt she had to take action, so she summoned the Nine Phoenix Flute and immediately began to play it.

The melodious sound of the flute slowed people down, and the continuous flute playing gradually drowned out the sound of the bells, bringing the chaos to a halt.

thud

The bell rang again, instantly bringing the crowd under control once more.

"Tsk." Luan Yizhong clicked his tongue impatiently and stepped out from the motionless crowd.

"So you're just a little girl. How dare you ruin your good time, Master Zhong? Have you thought about how you're going to die?"

It was an old man with a deathly expression, clutching a small bronze bell in his hand, which was his martial spirit.

"It's so frustrating. Both this stupid mission and you, this little girl who suddenly appeared, are incredibly annoying. I just wanted to create some chaos so my teammates could successfully assassinate him. Why did you have to interfere?"

The bell, seemingly lost in thought, muttered to itself.

"Uncle, I'm really getting angry."

Luan Yizhong directed the controlled crowd to surround Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao bit her Nine-Phoenix Flute, her face grave; things were getting complicated.

"Little girl, are you a support or control type? In any case, we martial souls are physically weak and can only rely on the power of others."

You can't do anything without someone protecting you, but I'm different. I can control others to do my bidding at any time. You should learn from me.

"Tch, all that babbling is so annoying."

Xiao Xiao summoned a giant black cauldron and placed it aside with a bang, saying, "You can't generalize between different Soul Masters. You should learn from this."

The young girl had sharp eyes, and her imposing aura complemented the giant cauldron beside her as she stared at the Chaotic Bell with murderous intent.

………………

"Want to increase your presence?" Huo Yuhao asked, looking at the girl in blue who had come to him.

"Hmm." Xiao Xiao blinked and said, "You must have a way, right? You seem like you can do everything!"

"This..." Huo Yuhao pondered. He didn't want to give up the business that had finally come to the Yorozuya, and Xiao Xiao's twin martial souls had indeed brought a lot of help to his research.

"With twin martial souls, are you worried about not having a presence?"

“It’s different,” Xiao Xiao shook her head and said, “It’s not about my martial spirit, but about my desire to become more popular and more eye-catching.”

"Xiao Xiao wants to become popular?" Huo Yuhao scratched his head, a rare moment of confusion about "what to do".

Although Huo Yuhao rarely attends classes, it's clear that Xiao Xiao is a somewhat "negative" figure among her classmates.

She is introverted and rarely interacts with others. Sometimes, when she sees two good-looking boys together, she will show a sinister smile.

If it weren't for the last incident, he and Wang Dong probably wouldn't have been able to speak to her for a long time.

"To increase my visibility... I need to develop my personal style, interact more with others, participate in more activities, and showcase my talents..." Huo Yuhao said to himself.

"It seems like I can't do any of these things!" Xiao Xiao collapsed to the ground in disappointment.

"Uh..." Huo Yuhao racked his brains, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "That's it, let's work on our muscles!"

"what?"

"Bigger is better, bigger is stronger, the bigger you are, the more you have a presence! Go build some muscle, it's a great way to increase your charm and boost your confidence," Huo Yuhao suggested.

"Then... shall I give it a try?"

"It's settled then. You can also try doing other hobbies or interests together."

"Interested..." Xiao Xiao thought of what she had been writing recently and looked at Huo Yuhao with a strange expression.

Huo Yuhao turned and walked towards his laboratory.

"Since you want to train, I have a method. Come with me, Xiao Kanjie."

Who is it?!

………………

"You little brat, weren't you so full of bravado? You can't even get through this human wall, can you? You can't even touch your uncle!" Luan Yizhong shouted.

"whispering sound."

Seeing the crowd gather again, Xiao Xiao put down the giant cauldron. These people were protecting the Chaotic Bell so tightly that it would be difficult to get around them without hurting them.

"Then I will use all my strength."

Xiao Xiao then took out a series of accessories from under her blue robe and threw them on the ground.

boom! boom! boom!

Several loud bangs followed, and those objects, which were quite heavy, crashed into the ground, creating deep craters and kicking up dust.

After finally throwing away the equally heavy little leather bag, Xiao Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

In an instant, an extremely violent, soaring aura and immense soul power burst forth from the little girl's body.

Was she just fighting while wearing these?!

"Monster...monster!" The chaotic bell was so intimidated by this aura that its weak body trembled and it cried out repeatedly.

In his eyes, Xiao Xiao, with his imposing presence, had a body as robust as a giant cauldron, as if he could lift him up with one hand.

"Hey, where are you looking?"

The girl had somehow made her way through the crowd and stood before him.

Xiao Xiao stretched out her fair arm, the girl's arm tensed, her muscles incredibly firm, and she directly grabbed Luan Yizhong's neck.

"What a weak control system..." Xiao Xiao said, looking at the struggling Luan Yi Zhong.

"Control system... how could it be... so strong..."

"Is control and support inherently weak? Martial Souls are not such inconvenient things!"

Xiao Xiao grabbed the evil soul master and slammed his head against the edge of her Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron.

A long trail of blood slid down from it.
