Qian Duoduo reacted quickly, immediately pulling out an exquisite pendant and tossing it to Huo Yuhao.
"Deal!"
With him taking the lead, the others also hurriedly offered their "payments."
They didn't mind at all that Huo Yuhao was "selling the same thing to many people."
After all, what they were bidding for was Yuhao's cultivation result itself—treat it as tuition for learning from a demi-god.
Unfortunately for them, Yuhao only accepted Cai Meier's Nine Nether Spring Dew.
All the other treasures he lifted with his spiritual power and returned.
"Brother Lan's agreement isn't certain yet. Please take your things back first," Yuhao said cautiously.
"Besides, there are more than a dozen offers here. Even if Brother Lan agreed, he might not be able to provide so many copies. When the time comes, it will depend on his choice, and then I'll come again to trade."
The hidden meaning was clear.
Many of their items might not be chosen.
Even Lin Huiqun sighed in regret.
So be it. A demi-god's technique was rare. It wasn't unreasonable to miss the chance.
"Then we'll trouble you, little Yuhao. Work hard for us!"
"My torso bone is of excellent quality. Even as a spiritual-type soul master, I can't neglect my physique!"
"These 35 million gold soul coins are my life savings—just for one chance to break through!"
…
Facing so many powerful figures, Yuhao smiled and replied politely to each of them.
He offended no one.
But in his heart, he had already made his selection list—he wanted them all!
What a joke!
A skill book only cost him 10 Fortune Points, and in exchange, he could obtain rare, treasured items from others.
Why wouldn't he sell as many as possible?
As for controlling spread? Just spend 240 more Fortune Points to simulate a demi-god's imprint, scare them a little.
If anyone dared break the rules,
Zhuge Lan had endless methods of torment.
For instance, a remote "castration" technique, so that Taichi Fist would seem to carry a prerequisite similar to the Sunflower Manual:
Men lose their manhood, women their wombs.
If someone was still bold enough to learn it, then fine—that would just be the price they paid.
Drag it out a little, and when they had more strength, they could always settle things later.
Perfect!
After sending off all the big shots with a cheerful heart, Huo Yuhao was daydreaming happily about the future when he suddenly felt a burning gaze.
Oddly though, it sent a chill down his spine.
What's going on?
Who's staring at me?
He followed the feeling.
And locked eyes with Ma Xiaotao, whose eyes seemed to be spitting flames.
"Uh… Sister Xiaotao, what's wrong?"
"Little Yuhao, I've treated you well, haven't I?" Xiaotao smiled sweetly. "That keepsake from my teacher, I gave it to you without a second thought. Now that I've found something suitable, shouldn't you help me out too?"
Yuhao instantly knew what she was after, the Hellhound Torso Bone.
That thing didn't suit him, and Wang Dong couldn't use it either.
Spending 250 Fortune Points to trade it for Sister Xiaotao wasn't a loss.
"Brother Lan, can I agree to this one?" Huo Yuhao pleaded. "It's not too much Destiny, and Sister Xiaotao has really treated me well. Please?"
"Am I such a petty man?" Zhuge Lan chuckled. "The one who doesn't want you spending money outside is that scarf."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm: "???"
"What are you talking about!"
"Just 250 Fortune Points! You think I'm that stingy?"
"And wasn't I helping pave the road for Huo Yuhao to become a god? Didn't everyone benefit?"
"Why call me stingy!"
"And another thing—I am not a scarf!"
"And you are stingy! My spiritual power awakening is still nowhere in sight!"
…
Tianmeng's furious rant made Huo Yuhao too afraid to push further.
He was about to withdraw when Zhuge Lan gave instructions:
"It can't be for free. Say you'll ask me first. Then use my name and make Xiaotao the 'Saintess' of the Holy Fire Meow-Meow Sect. That way you'll earn an extra bit of Fortune."
Huo Yuhao blinked.
It could be done like that?
He wasn't a rigid person—he didn't think of this as "taking advantage."
After all, Sister Xiaotao had given him the Emerald Spirit Phantom Skull, partly to repay the favor of suppressing her evil fire.
Yes, he owed her, but it wasn't worth a 72,000-year torso bone.
Withdrew from the spiritual world, Huo Yuhao said earnestly:
"This skill book requires Brother Lan's hand. So the traded items should belong to him. But I can plead for you. Since this bone suits you, I don't think Brother Lan will refuse."
Ma Xiaotao laughed loudly and slapped Huo Yuhao's shoulder.
"Good! I knew I wasn't doting on you for nothing!"
"Come! While teacher's busy helping junior sister fuse her soul bone, let's raid his private vault. Take whatever you like!"
Good grief!
She wanted to straight up rob her teacher?
So filial!
Huo Yuhao wanted to refuse.
But both Zhuge Lan and Tianmeng were curious and urged him to agree.
So he reluctantly let Xiaotao drag him along, while he secretly messaged the others that they didn't need to wait for him.
Wang Dong flapped his wings to catch up.
"Sister Xiaotao, the academy found out you were using Dean Yan's authority to buy things on credit. Elder Lin asked you to return immediately."
Ma Xiaotao: "..."
Busted?
This time she hadn't even bought much, just some cultivation resources for herself, plus a small meeting gift for the Lan Susu sisters…
Wait a second!
What did the Lan sisters pick out again?
She hadn't paid much attention, just remembered Ning Tian recommending something "perfect for them."
Could it have been… something very expensive?
"Sister Xiaotao, should I lend you mine first?" Huo Yuhao offered, handing over his gold card.
He'd earned 20 million gold soul coins selling the Muscle Transformation Manual skill book.
"No need!" Xiaotao waved him off. "A disciple spending her teacher's money, that's perfectly natural! You guys shop around a bit, I'll be right back."
Flapping her fiery wings, she sped back.
She was going to see just what was going on.
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong exchanged a smile.
"Senior brother really has it tough with a disciple like Sister Xiaotao," Wang Dong sighed.
"Well, he has no children of his own. Spoiling Xiaotao is reasonable," Yuhao replied.
This made Zhuge Lan scoff.
"Yan Shaozhe's a total playboy—entangled with Valkyrie Douluo Xian Lin'er, Evil Phoenix Douluo Feng Ling, and yet he ends up marrying Cai Meier."
"All of them first-class powerhouse women."
"I seriously suspect either Yan Shaozhe was… inadequate, or his ex-girlfriends broke his thing."
Huo Yuhao: "..."
His senior brother was that much of a flirt?
Then he remembered—Qian Duoduo was married to Xian Lin'er.
No wonder when she lashed out at Yan Shaozhe that day, Qian Duoduo had such a weird look on his face.
They were mid-gossip when..
"Here we go," Zhuge Lan muttered in disbelief. "That fool actually dared to send assassins?"
"Six people," Tianmeng reported precisely.
"Five Soul Kings with five rings each, one Soul Emperor with six rings. And there's a Soul Douluo lurking in the shadows—he hasn't moved, just observing. Probably testing whether Huo Yuhao really has a demi-god's backing."
"Maybe also to see if there are hidden methods left behind," Electrolux added.
Huo Yuhao instantly tensed.
He grabbed Wang Dong's hand, their soul power merging into Haodong Power.
Wang Dong was puzzled—what was going on?
The next moment, he was pulled into Huo Yuhao's shared Spiritual Detection.
Their spiritual power spread outward, and they sensed six enemies hidden in alleys—already surrounding them.
Their faces changed at once!
