Chapter 150

~7 min read 1,301 words

The train slowly pulled into the platform, and the moment the doors opened, a cool breeze surged into the carriage.

Huo Yuhao and the other three walked out of the carriage; the originally hurried crowd on the platform suddenly showed a subtle stagnation, and passersby turned their heads one after another.

Seeing this, Na Na Li looked at Gu Yue Na beside her, secretly grumbling.

With her looks, she was almost overshadowed by this girl; once she fully blossoms in the future, what will happen?

A femme fatale, I'm afraid she'll be the second Holy Spirit Douluo, the Continental Number One Beauty, attracting pursuit from all sides' heaven's prides...

Thinking here, Na Na Li's train of thought halted, and she looked at Huo Yuhao.

Oh, wait, that's not right; Gu Yue Na has this one by her side, so it's different from that one.

A twelve-year-old Soul King, Battle Armor Master, enough to make anyone despair.

'How nice, why don't I have such a flower protector by my side?'

Na Na Li secretly sighed with emotion, then narcissistically reached a conclusion.

Probably because she's too strong.

A ninety-eight-rank Super Douluo in her thirties, a Four-Word Battle Armor Master, how many in the continent's history?

In her generation, if not for Dark Side members needing to keep information secret, she would be the first... right?

Huo Yuhao didn't pay attention to Na Na Li's expression, and together with the three entered the Douluo Continent's western core, the most modernized city — Mingdu!

Towering soul guidance towers pierced the clouds, buildings of metal and crystal flickering with cold light under the sunlight.

In the sky, soul magnetic levitation trains glided silently along suspended tracks, high-altitude flying cars advanced on fixed routes, soul street lamps lit up in succession as the sky darkened, illuminating the entire city like daylight.

There were also dozens of mecha forming squads patrolling within a certain range.

All kinds of details highlighted this city's prosperity and advancement.

"Finally I can breathe a sigh of relief; all the way I've been worried those guys would come ambush us again."

Na Na Li collected her thoughts, brought Yuan En Yehui out of the soul guidance train, and laughed as she bid farewell to Huo Yuhao and the other, "Then, see you later. You can look forward to my apology and thank-you gift."

Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue Na nodded, and after watching the two leave, the former first used the soul guide communication device to report safety to Li Yucheng.

"Good, if you guys didn't come any later, I wouldn't know how to explain to Adaptability." Li Yucheng received the communication and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sorry to worry you, Li Lao."

Huo Yuhao said apologetically.

"No, I'm a Soul Douluo, yet couldn't protect you two kids, it's my fault." Li Yucheng sighed, obviously still blaming himself.

Huo Yuhao comforted: "Li Lao, you mustn't say that. This situation was special; who could have predicted a Titled Douluo-level evil soul master would appear?"

"Sigh."

Li Yucheng sighed once more, and spoke no further. Though he was a Soul Douluo, he specialized in a sub-occupation, his combat power not even matching some Soul Sages; this incident made him feel deeply powerless.

"It's too late today; tomorrow I'll take you to the Mecha Master Association Headquarters to meet the president, you were ambushed and need a good rest too."

"Okay." Huo Yuhao agreed, and hung up the communication.

At this moment, Gu Yue Na walked over lightly, silver hair fluttering slightly in the wind, purple eyes holding a trace of gentleness.

"Yuhao."

Huo Yuhao turned at the sound; the girl gently gathered her wind-mussed hair with jade hands, her voice flowing like a clear spring, "Come stay at my place for now, there are plenty of vacant rooms. And before returning, I already had people set up the forge room, design room, manufacturing room, etc., all matching your habits."

Huo Yuhao looked at Gu Yue Na's crystal-clear gaze, a strange feeling stirring in his heart, but still smiled and nodded.

"Then I'll impose."

The corners of Gu Yue Na's lips curled up slightly, she turned and stepped forward: "Let's go, it's not far."

Gu Yue Na led Huo Yuhao through several quiet streets; surrounding buildings gradually thinned, and moonlight trees emitting a faint clear glow were planted along both sides of the road. This rare plant only blooms at night; its crystalline white flowers lit up in succession with their steps, as if guiding the way for their master.

Huo Yuhao looked at the quiet, nature-breathing environment around, sensing the designer's care.

This was a rare pure land in Mingdu, far from the clamor of soul guide neon, yet not lacking modern life's convenience.

Gu Yue Na's steps were light and quick, occasionally turning back to confirm Huo Yuhao was keeping up, saying with great interest:

"These trees were all transplanted from the Star Dou side; they don't need much care, at night they can absorb moonlight to grow on their own..."

The two turned the last corner, and an elegant five-story small building appeared before them; the architecture used a minimalist gray-white tone, large floor-to-ceiling windows letting interior and exterior space naturally blend.

Gu Yue Na pushed open the first-floor door, "Please enter."

The interior space was open, a chandelier made of natural crystal hanging from the high ceiling; light refracted through the crystal, casting flowing-water-like light and shadow on the walls.

"Among the vacant rooms, the south-facing bedroom on the fifth floor has the best lighting, inside there are bookshelves and high-grade soul guide books, the style is what you like..."

Gu Yue Na saw Huo Yuhao's half-smiling expression, and her introduction suddenly halted, her ear tips flushing slightly red.

"Not good?"

Huo Yuhao gently shook his head, tone gentle.

"Very good... it has the feeling of home."

Gu Yue Na was stunned at those words, then broke into a smile.

And while Gu Yue Na was happy, Huo Yuhao's gaze shifted to a set of celadon tea ware on the tea table; the teacup rims still had undried water stains, obviously someone had used and washed them not long ago.

"Sister Na, it's not just you living here, right?"

Gu Yue Na regained her senses, her gaze also turning to that teacup, taking a deep breath, "Mm, this place is nominally under the Ancient Clan's name, she also has a key here. But she has many matters, and spends more time living near the Spirit Pagoda."

Must find a chance to chase that girl out. With her around, she can't establish her authority...

Huo Yuhao withdrew his gaze thoughtfully, "Looks like you two have a pretty good relationship."

Gu Yue Na pursed her lips, still not denying it, "Let's not talk about her. Yuhao, the Spirit Pagoda should have received news of your arrival by now, what do you plan to do?"

"I never said I'd go report to the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters right away..."

Outside the window, deep twilight gradually enveloped Mingdu, soul street lamps lit up in succession, casting mottled light and shadow on the glass.

In the deep of night when all was quiet, Huo Yuhao walked out of his room, using spatial power to arrive outside.

Ahead, a tall, slender figure stood with hands clasped behind his back, facing away; he wore a black robe, long hair like ink stirring faintly in the night wind. He slowly turned around, revealing a pair of dark-gold vertical pupils.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao smiled faintly: "Ten thousand years no see, all well, Di Tian?"

Di Tian looked at him, his gaze somewhat complex, but in the end he still nodded.

"Long time no see, Huo Yuhao. Over ten thousand years, I owe you much gratitude..."
