Chapter 159 Huo Yuhao Returns with His Daughter.
Perhaps because she felt Bibi Dong's presumptuous gaze, Xiao Zhi suddenly felt an indescribable sense of humiliation welling up inside her. She quickly straightened her back, trying to show her dignity and confidence in this way. However, no matter how hard she tried, her figure still appeared petite and delicate, and the act of straightening her chest did not make her figure appear fuller.
Bibi Dong suppressed her laughter, a hint of disdain in her eyes: "Now that you're back, settle these three little girls down first. You've already brought back enough girls, so two or three more won't make a difference."
Seeing Bibi Dong's somewhat disdainful gaze, Xiao Zhi felt dejected. She sighed inwardly, regretting that if she had known it would turn out this way, she should have tried to grow bigger. She couldn't help but feel remorseful; why hadn't she thought of that back then?
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, however, keenly caught the key phrase in Bibi Dong's words, "Anyway, there's already enough," which startled them.
Could it be that Huo Yuhao had brought back many other girls before? At this thought, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing almost simultaneously turned their gazes to Huo Yuhao, their eyes filled with doubt and inquiry.
Facing their gazes, Huo Yuhao immediately felt tense and uneasy. He dared not speak, absolutely dared not speak.
"By the way, Yuhao," Bibi Dong looked at Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing with great interest, seemingly anticipating what interesting things would happen next, and then slowly said, "After you've settled these little girls in, remember to come find me."
Huo Yuhao nodded and led the three towards the courtyard. The instant he turned, Huo Yuhao's mind raced, anxiously considering how to handle the situation. What to do? Help! Urgent!
As soon as they left the Papal Palace, Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong couldn't wait to start asking questions. Their questions came like a machine gun, leaving Huo Yuhao overwhelmed.
"Yuhao, what exactly did the Pope mean just now? Do you have another girlfriend?" Ning Rongrong said, her two fingers gently pinching Huo Yuhao's waist, as if warning him to answer truthfully.
Zhu Zhuqing then grabbed Huo Yuhao's other waist, her eyes revealing a hint of distrust. With both women gripping his waist, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but gasp.
Little Zhi, who was behind Huo Yuhao, let out a soft howl and jumped onto his back, biting his head. Unfortunately, the little girl didn't have much strength at the moment, and after smelling Huo Yuhao's scent, she immediately felt comfortable, squinted her eyes, and stuck out her tongue to gently lick him. Although she tried to act fierce, her feline nature was hard to change, and she eventually became docile on Huo Yuhao's back.
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong both glanced at Xiao Zhi speechlessly. They had clearly agreed to interrogate Huo Yuhao together, but unexpectedly, one of them had already betrayed them.
Feeling the gazes of Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, Xiao Zhi smiled shyly. It was all because Huo Yuhao smelled so wonderful. It was a unique scent, a blend of natural fragrance and the essence of life, making one feel refreshed with every breath. Xiao Zhi even thought that Huo Yuhao's scent was more alluring than any perfume in the Spirit Hall.
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, of course, hadn't forgotten why they were there. They carried an important mission: to uncover Huo Yuhao's hidden secrets.
"Hey, Yuhao, tell us honestly, how many girlfriends do you have besides us? You've already come to the Spirit Hall, how long are you going to keep this from us?" Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes at Huo Yuhao and asked.
Zhu Zhuqing chimed in, "Yeah, Yuhao, you're going to tell us sooner or later anyway, so why not just say it now so we can be mentally prepared?" Zhu Zhuqing's tone was gentle, but equally firm.
Zhu Zhuqing knew that Huo Yuhao always liked to keep things to himself, but this time, they were determined to get to the bottom of it.
Huo Yuhao said weakly, "Well... I'm telling you, please don't hit me."
Huo Yuhao's voice trembled slightly, as if he had already foreseen what was about to happen.
Only after receiving assurances from Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong did Huo Yuhao slowly speak: "Well, there are probably five or six people staying in the Spirit Hall right now, and if you add you, there will be seven or eight."
Huo Yuhao's voice trailed off, because after he finished speaking, he felt the temperature around him drop several degrees. Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong both looked at Huo Yuhao with friendly expressions, but their eyes flashed with a dangerous light.
Even the little girl on Huo Yuhao's back started headbutting him—a real loli headbutt!
Although her childish actions were cute, they were quite forceful. However, when her head bumped into Huo Yuhao's head, she ended up with a big bump on her own forehead. The little girl touched the bump on her forehead and immediately felt extremely aggrieved.
Seeing Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing approaching him, Huo Yuhao immediately shouted, "Hey, hey, hey, what do you want to do? Don't forget you promised you wouldn't lay a hand on me, how can you go back on your word?"
Zhu Zhuqing sneered, "We did say we wouldn't hit you, but we didn't say we wouldn't bite you." There was a hint of cunning in her smile.
Just as Zhu Zhuqing was speaking, Ning Rongrong grabbed Huo Yuhao's arm and bit down. However, Huo Yuhao's skin had been tempered to the point of being like that of a dragon, and Ning Rongrong couldn't leave any teeth marks on his arm even after biting for a long time. Instead, her own teeth started to ache.
Zhu Zhuqing also helped Ning Rongrong. She tried her best, but the result was the same as Ning Rongrong's. Huo Yuhao's physical body was still too strong. They bit for a long time but couldn't leave any teeth marks on Huo Yuhao's arm. Instead, their teeth started to ache.
Huo Yuhao was quite helpless about their puppy-like behavior, but they were all his precious pets, so he could only spoil them. He shook his head helplessly.
"Um, it's very sunny outside, let me take you to the room first."
Huo Yuhao smiled and spoke gently to Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing. After some patient persuasion, he finally calmed the two girls down. He took Ning Rongrong's hand in one hand and Zhu Zhuqing's hand in the other, leading them towards his room.
As for the little girl on Huo Yuhao's back, she was so tiny that Huo Yuhao just let her hang on him.
This was Xiao Zhi's first time in such a crowded place. Clinging to Huo Yuhao's back, she looked around at the lively scene with wide curiosity. Every step they took, members of the Spirit Hall would greet Huo Yuhao enthusiastically. Xiao Zhi imitated them, waving back with great enthusiasm. This adorable scene melted the hearts of many girls from the Spirit Hall. A few bolder girls even ran over, stood on tiptoe, and tried to shake hands with Xiao Zhi.
However, this sudden social interaction frightened Xiao Zhi, the socially awkward kitten. She quickly buried her head in Huo Yuhao's neck, seeking a sense of security. Her action amused and touched Huo Yuhao at the same time. He gently patted Xiao Zhi's back, comforting her not to be afraid.
Of course, Xiao Zhi's appearance along the way also attracted the attention of many elders and worshippers. Chrysanthemum Douluo, Light Feather Douluo, and Spirit Kite Douluo, among others encountered along the way, all looked at Xiao Zhi, who was perched on Huo Yuhao's back, with expressions of utter curiosity. A 100,000-year-old soul beast openly riding on Huo Yuhao's back, parading through the streets, was indeed a surprising sight.
However, these elders and respected elders quickly accepted this fact. After all, this little girl was brought by Huo Yuhao, so they didn't pay much attention to Xiao Zhi. Instead, they passed around messages, telling the elders of the Spirit Hall that Yuhao had brought back a little girl, a 100,000-year-old spirit beast, and that they should try to conceal their aura so as not to frighten the little girl.
Perhaps because of the high density of people in the Spirit Hall, news spread faster than usual. In no time, almost everyone in the Spirit Hall knew that the Holy Son had returned, bringing with him two beautiful women and a cute little girl.
The news spread like wildfire throughout the Spirit Hall, prompting many members to drop their work and gather on Huo Yuhao's likely route to welcome him. They curiously observed the two women accompanying him and the little girl on Huo Yuhao's back.
The crowd was already used to the Holy Son bringing a beautiful girl back to the Spirit Hall. Huo Yuhao was always surrounded by beautiful women, but this was the first time they had seen such a cute little girl. Therefore, various speculations began to emerge among the crowd.
Some whispered among themselves, suggesting that the little girl might be Huo Yuhao's sister, as her beautiful eyes bore a resemblance to Huo Yuhao's. Others speculated that one of the two women might be the little girl's older sister, while the little girl was the younger sister of the girl Huo Yuhao had brought.
However, in a place as full of talented people as the Spirit Hall, there are always some people who like to think more deeply. With so many people, a genius can be automatically generated randomly.
At this moment, some people secretly speculated: could this little girl be Huo Yuhao's daughter? This most unreliable guess, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, stirred up ripples that began to spread wildly among the crowd. Huo...
Yuhao himself was completely unaware of this. He was still having a headache about the upcoming meeting, thinking about how to introduce Zhuqing and Rongrong to Nana, Bing'er, Yue'er, Yanyan, and Qiu'er.
Unbeknownst to him, Huo Yuhao had already returned to his residence with the three women.
In the quiet courtyard, surrounded by lush green bamboo groves, stood an exquisite pond in the center, where fish swam merrily. As soon as Huo Yuhao stepped into the courtyard, he saw Qiu'er resting her chin on her hand, smiling at him.
The moment Huo Yuhao saw Qiu'er, he immediately walked over slowly, picked her up in his arms, and asked softly, "Qiu'er, have you missed me since we last met?"
Qiu'er smiled gently and replied, "I do miss you, but some people don't necessarily miss me. Some people at home miss you so much that they can't sleep, but you, on the other hand, went out and even brought your daughter back."
Huo Yuhao: ? ? ?
