Douluo Continent: The Spirit-Eyed Detective Huo Yuhao

"It's all my fault," Mu En sighed, his eyes lowered as if he was full of regret. "Back then, that child's family was wiped out, leaving only her. I discovered that she had exceptional talent, so I agreed to help her avenge her. But I was bewitched and not only gave her the condition of protecting Shrek Academy for life, but also made her my great-great-grandson Bei Bei's child bride."

"I already guessed what you were going to say..." Huo Yuhao said with a speechless expression.

"Looking back now, it's truly shameful to admit that I took advantage of that child and got him to agree to those conditions... Later, Beibei found someone she liked and had a huge argument with me when she found out about it. And Lexuan takes her vows very seriously, completely disregarding her own feelings. I really don't know what to do."

Some time ago, I told her that there was no need to keep those vows anymore, that they were just ramblings of an old man in his throes. But she said, "A vow is a vow. Even if Beibei doesn't like her, she won't break it."

Why is this child so stubborn? But it's not her fault, nor is it Beibei's fault, it's all my fault! Anyway, I want you to try and persuade her..."

"Take this, it's a bit hot."

Huo Yuhao handed the grilled fish to Wang Dong, who sat on a small stool by the grill and began to gnaw on it.

He was holding a handful of skewered grilled meat, which sizzled and smelled delicious.

"..."

Moon, in his wheelchair, remained silent for a long while before saying, "Yuhao, you..."

"Oh, Wang Dong is my assistant. I asked her to come back."

"That's not what I'm asking..."

"Would you like a skewer, Mr. Mu?"

"Thank you." Moon accepted the grilled fish.

"I thought Elder Mu was going to talk for a long time, so I thought it would be better to eat and listen at the same time." Huo Yuhao also sat on a small stool, and the three of them sat together.

"Elder Mu, we're a jack-of-all-trades shop, not a magic shop. Relationship problems are always the hardest to solve. You might as well let me do an assassination mission." Huo Yuhao said while eating. "Speaking of which, Shrek Academy has way too many relationship problems. No, it seems like there are a lot of them throughout the entire Douluo Continent. I've read more than a dozen of them when I was flipping through the books. This elder and that dean... this student and that teacher, I've already judged enough of them."

"So you really can't do anything about it? Sigh, I'm sorry to have kept you listening to me for so long..." The old man sighed, looking very worried.

"No, I agree." Huo Yuhao changed the subject.

"Sometimes it's not bad to appreciate this kind of twisted emotion."

"What kind of twisted sense of humor is this?" Wang Dong complained.

………………

Back to now,

"She moved! She moved!" Wang Dong exclaimed.

"Yes, I see it." Huo Yuhao directly enveloped the area with his mental detection, without needing a telescope at all.

Zhang Lexuan stood up in the restaurant and walked out.

"Where is she going?" Wang Dong stared intently at her as the wings of the Goddess of Light butterfly gently flitted between the tall buildings.

"So it's home..." she said disappointedly, watching Zhang Lexuan walk into her dormitory.

Originally, the students of the Inner Academy all lived at the Golden Tree on the island, but the Golden Tree was bombed some time ago, so now the student dormitories of the Inner Academy have naturally been moved to the city.

"Can we still see it?" Huo Yuhao asked.

"Of course, I'm a professional," Wang Dong said proudly. "Even in a room, I can still see it."

"She's turning on the radio now."

"She's gone to bed. Is she going to take a nap?"

"He was probably drunk just now."

Then, Huo Yuhao and the others witnessed a shocking scene.

in the room,

This is Zhang Lexuan's absolutely secret room; she would never allow anyone to enter it.

Just as absolute as her vow to protect Shrek and Bebe.

The walls of the room were covered with posters featuring Beibei's face, as were the doors, lampshades, and bed sheets.

There are also many photos of Beibei neatly pasted on the wall, arranged in a heart shape.

The radio was playing Beibei's morning broadcast, and Zhang Lexuan was lying on the bed hugging a large plush toy.

"Beibei, Beibei, Bei...hehe..."

On the rooftop outside,

"Wang Dong."

"Ok?"

"What I saw today, I must never tell anyone, even if it means death."

"Ah."

Wang Dong nodded repeatedly, knowing that if he told anyone, he would really die.

………………

After completing their surveillance mission, the two went to a restaurant to discuss their situation.

"Isn't this a disaster? How are we supposed to solve this? Is this even an emotional issue anymore? She's completely broken!" Wang Dong complained. "Senior Sister has completely lost it!"

"This is indeed a tricky situation; we need to think of a solution," Huo Yuhao frowned.

"No, no, no... How could there possibly be any other way? Seeing something like this makes me afraid I'll lose my life!" Wang Dong shook his head vigorously.

"There's no other way. We've already agreed, so we can't just end it all without doing anything," Huo Yuhao said. "Besides, we might not really be completely without any options."

"Anyway, I can't tell. Those symptoms are beyond saving, right?" Wang Dong said helplessly, resting his chin on the table.

“Senior Brother Bei Bei definitely can’t reciprocate her feelings, and if we want to cure her current symptoms, we need to find another way. For example, we could help her transfer her feelings to someone else…” Huo Yuhao pondered, pressing his forehead.

In other words, make her fall in love with someone else!

"This...is this really possible?" Wang Dong couldn't believe that Huo Yuhao actually wanted to try it.

Chapter 84 The Plan Failed

"Quick, Wang Dong, she's about to go out again, hurry up!" Huo Yuhao urged Wang Dong.

"No, it's not right no matter how I think about it!" Wang Dong hesitated and refused to step forward.

"No problem. Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan can fall for Senior Brother Beibei, who is so much older than her, so she must have some boyish charm. If you go, you'll definitely be fine." Huo Yuhao encouraged her, "Go for it, make her fall for you."

"Why me? Why don't you go up yourself?" Wang Dong retorted.

"I'm not as good-looking as you," Huo Yuhao said matter-of-factly.

"That's true."

Wang Dong was delighted upon hearing this and headed straight for Zhang Lexuan.

"If I'm not mistaken, the reason she refuses to let go of that vow isn't because she's old-fashioned or stubborn, but probably because she's genuinely fallen in love with Beibei after living together for so many years, and therefore doesn't want to give it up." Huo Yuhao smiled as he watched Wang Dong's retreating figure, who stood up like a warrior. "Then, if she falls in love with someone else and pursues new 'happiness,' she will naturally give up that promise."

Then, Wang Dong can reveal her true gender, or simply stage a "seduction and abandonment" act to escape.

"Haha, this is called the NTR plan!"

"No, it doesn't seem like it can be considered NTR. They weren't a couple; Zhang Lexuan was just in love with him on one hand..."

Just as Huo Yuhao was struggling with the name of the plan, Wang Dong had already stood in front of Zhang Lexuan.

The young boy with pink and blue hair struck a pose, leaning against a telephone pole and looking cool.

"Oh, beautiful senior sister, can you feel how noisy the wind is today?"

"Who are you?" Zhang Lexuan was taken aback, wondering what the child in front of her wanted to do.

"No, I still can't do it!"

Wang Dong turned around and covered her face, too embarrassed to continue.

"Did it fail from the very beginning...?" Huo Yuhao prepared to think of other solutions.

"Hehe, interesting junior. It's lunchtime, want to go for lunch together?" She bent down and looked at the shy Wang Dong.

Zhang Lexuan also found Wang Dong's behavior inexplicable, but as the senior sister, how could she hold a grudge against a child? She always treated all students with gentleness. Perhaps this junior brother had some difficulties, or perhaps he had some questions about cultivation that he wanted to ask her for advice?

"I...I was invited!" Wang Dong stammered, unable to speak.

"Is this a lucky accident...? But I was supposed to invite them, so now it's like I'm being given charity?" Huo Yuhao was somewhat looking forward to what would happen next.

"Is this some kind of comedy show?" Tianmeng was also watching in his mind's eye.

“I have a feeling that you’ve complicated things, Yuhao,” Electrolux said, offering his opinion.

"Human emotions are so boring," Hyotei said, showing little interest.

…………

Dining room,

Wang Dong sat upright in the seat in front of Zhang Lexuan, looking down at the table, not daring to move.

Zhang Lexuan chuckled softly. This junior schoolmate reminded her of when Beibei was a little younger, and she was just as adorable.

"She's so gentle, completely different from how she is in the room. Damn it, how could I bear to lie to her when she's so gentle!" Wang Dong thought to himself.

"What would you like to eat?" she asked, holding up the menu.

"Barbecue!"

Wang Dong's eyes lit up. Since things had come to this, let's eat first.

…………

"So you came back right after you finished eating, without saying a word?" Huo Yuhao shook his head speechlessly.

"I really couldn't bear to hurt their feelings..." Wang Dong said, rubbing his swollen belly.

"We'll have to find someone else." Huo Yuhao took out his communicator.

…………

"You called me here just for this?" Xiao Xiao yawned and said confidently, "Then you've come to the right person."

"You have an idea?" Huo Yuhao asked curiously.

"I know more about emotions than anyone else. I've written hundreds of different love stories. I'm very experienced." Xiao Xiao raised her head and tossed her pigtails.
