The nearly-collapsed Holy Son Huo, under the effect of his subconscious, had finally found an elegant seat, had eaten a mouthful of food, and had drunk some wine. He seemed a little dizzy as he staggered out of the restaurant. Of course, with his body's alcohol tolerance, even without using his soul power to suppress it, it was still unable to do anything to him. The main reason was that he had been made dizzy by the public opinion...
There was even a part where his old man's confidante had been forced into a marriage by Shrek and had been trapped in the academy. But her family had all been captured. It was said that a certain dean of Shrek had madly fallen in love with the Demon King's confidante. If he couldn't get her, he wouldn't rest. So the great Demon King Huo had, in a fit of rage for the beauty, in the end, had taken the old woman and had flown far away...
Xian Lin'er had long since woken up. It was just that her ability to speak had been sealed by Huo Yuhao. When she had heard this version of the rumor, she also couldn't help but widen her beautiful eyes. Could it be that the female lead in this story was her?
The Huo Yuhao, whose stomach was aching uncomfortably, and the Xian Lin'er, whose pretty face was crimson, had returned to their residence. The latter had been released from the sack by him. It was just that her hands and feet were restricted, and her soul power had also been imprisoned. She had no ability to resist.
"Huo Yuhao, may you die a terrible death!" The moment Xian Lin'er had recovered her ability to speak, she immediately couldn't help but curse loudly. She was not one of Huo Yuhao's doting girls. Huo Yuhao would not be merciful to her. He had just casually put her in a sack and had carried her on his shoulder. When he walked, she had been in constant, intimate contact with his big butt. How could she, a half-century-old virgin, accept this?
"Tsk tsk, Dean Xian is really impressive!" Huo Yuhao sneered coldly and used his hand to lift her chin. "It's just that you don't seem to have a clear understanding of your current situation. Right now, there isn't even a single beautiful young girl by my side. Even an old woman who still has her charm, I'm not a picky eater!"
"You dare?" Xian Lin'er was immediately so scared her face lost its color. Although she was a married woman, because of the ill-fated relationship she had had with the Yan Shaoze in her youth, she had always kept her chastity. For many years, she had not given the big simp Qian a good look. If not for the accident and the beast tide in the original world line, the two of them would have surely spent the rest of their lives together with mutual respect.
"Then do you dare to guess if I dare?" Huo Yuhao licked his lips. As he spoke, he stretched his hand towards Xian Lin'er.
"You... you... don't you come over!" Xian Lin'er shouted at the top of her lungs, and with a look of terror, moved her body back.
"Shout, go on and shout. Even if you shout until your throat is hoarse, no one will come to save you," Huo Yuhao laughed sinisterly. His hand, however, had already touched Xian Lin'er's delicate body.
"No—" Xian Lin'er was just about to commit suicide to seek her chastity, but found that Huo Yuhao had just fumbled around on her body, and in the end had scraped out all her storage soul tools.
"Dean Xian has so many treasures on her body. Then I will not be polite!" Huo Yuhao, however, had just taken all her things and said with a proud smile.
"You will get your retribution!" Xian Lin'er panted like an ox. Even if she understood that Huo Yuhao was simply taking advantage of her, to have been fumbled around by the latter, it was inevitable that some sensitive parts had been touched by his hand.
"Yo yo yo, Dean Xian is having such a big reaction. Could it be that you're hungry?" Huo Yuhao rummaged through her storage soul tool. Besides some ten-thousand-year soul bones that were still passable, there was nothing else that could enter his eyes.
However, Dean Xian's small wardrobe was an extra harvest for him.
"Dean Xian, you say, if I were to take your underwear to an auction house for auction, how much would it be worth?" Huo Yuhao took out a corset and swayed it between the two, smiling strangely.
Xian Lin'er's heart was immediately like dead ashes. She knew that for Huo Yuhao to do this was surely to want to maximize her own value through the opportunity of her having fallen into his hands.
"Speak. What do you want to get from me..."
"It's just convenient to deal with smart people," Huo Yuhao smiled knowingly and patted her shoulder.
...
The next morning, Huo Yuhao might as well have untied Xian Lin'er's four limbs, so that she could at least walk like a normal person. Because her soul power had been imprisoned, she looked much older. The two of them were walking on the road, looking like a mother and son.
Even so, the unique temperament that a Titled Douluo came with still attracted many passersby. Xian Lin'er was very well-maintained and looked like a beautiful woman in her fifties.
Xian Lin'er had thought that Huo Yuhao was blind and could not see her movements. So when she had once tried to use hand gestures to ask for help from a passerby, she had been conveniently interrupted by Huo Yuhao and had had no choice but to put away her thoughts of wanting to escape.
This had given Xian Lin'er a new understanding of Huo Yuhao's spiritual power cultivation: even if he could not see, he could still use his spiritual power to sense all the changes around him.
How to play this? You're not giving me a way out?
There were still nearly half a month before the date of the hostage exchange. So Huo Yuhao was in no hurry at all to travel. On the contrary, he was leisurely and carefreely taking Xian Lin'er to wander everywhere and had also specially bought a soul tool flying device to play with.
For a soul master to want to fly, besides having a flying martial soul, they had to wait until their own cultivation had broken through the seventh ring before it was possible. But even so, with just soul power, one could only fly for a short distance. Only a super expert at the Titled Douluo level could fly for a relatively long distance.
It had to be said that the soul tool research of the Sun Moon Empire was truly far superior to that of the original Douluo Continent's three great empires, which had made even Xian Lin'er click her tongue in amazement.
Generally speaking, the most important step for a flying soul tool was to take off. And the process of taking off was to inject soul power into the soul tool and to spray it at the ground. After the body had risen to a high altitude, only then would the folded wings be opened. At this time, with the help of the buoyancy of the airflow in the air, they would just need to, through the soul tool, change the downward thrust into a parallel thrust, and they would be able to accelerate and fly in the sky.
Huo Yuhao carefully observed the flying soul tool he was using. It actually looked like a pair of wings, thin, soft, and without the slightest bit of a metallic feel. A faint golden light was circulating on it. Nor was there any soul power being sprayed out. It was just with a gentle stretch that it had taken Xian Lin'er up into the sky.
Xian Lin'er's face became more and more grave. She had to admit that this bionic flying soul tool that Huo Yuhao had bought represented the highest realm of the current continental soul tools. To be able to apply bionics to a flying soul tool also meant that the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy would also be able to apply this technology to other aspects. And the soul tool department of Shrek Academy was still a complete blank in this aspect!
Xian Lin'er gently touched the light membrane with her hand and immediately felt the warm and soft texture from the light membrane. She couldn't tell what material it was, but she could be sure that she had absolutely never seen it before in the soul tool department.
At night, the cities of the Sun Moon Empire gave an even stronger shock. Xian Lin'er looked as far as the eye could see and saw that at her feet were all large patches of buildings. The end could not be seen. Among these buildings, there were even a vast majority of them that were buildings of more than five stories. He had even seen a tall building of more than ten stories. This was a sight she had never seen in Shrek City, Star Luo City, or Heaven Dou City. And this scale of a building was not a special case. Looking into the distance, for a time it was simply impossible to count how many such tall buildings existed. Ten thousand lights illuminated this seemingly endless city, making it dazzlingly brilliant, on the verge of competing with the host of stars in the sky.
Between the buildings were one after another of wide, stone-slab streets, arranged like a chessboard. The width of some of the main roads even exceeded thirty meters. Vaguely, it seemed there was a faint feeling that in the thousands of lights, there was actually a trace of a change in soul power.
Unlike Shrek City, most of the cities in the Sun Moon Empire did not have city walls. But if anyone from another empire were to dare to rashly break into the city, they would surely suffer the baptism of soul tool artillery fire.
Huo Yuhao, without changing his expression, walked into the city. The two of them looked very ordinary and did not attract the attention of the patrol troops.
Soon, Xian Lin'er had seen an opportunity.
A tall young man, leading a group of subordinates, was walking towards this side. From the luxurious clothing on his body, it was clear that his status was not low. And this fellow's arrogant and condescending posture, one look and you could tell he was a disciple of some great family.
Huo Yuhao and Xian Lin'er were originally not from the Sun Moon Empire. If they were to rashly provoke the other party, it was very likely they would be pursued and investigated. And what Xian Lin'er needed was precisely this kind of an opportunity to get rid of Huo Yuhao!
Seeing this group of people getting closer and closer, Xian Lin'er's eyeballs rolled. When she was passing by this group of people, she had deliberately slipped with her feet, and her body had fallen towards the leading tall young man.
Huo Yuhao's spiritual perception had immediately discovered Xian Lin'er's abnormality. But before he could make a move to stop her, the latter had been hit with a loud slap.
"Woman! Can't you watch where you're going?"
