Chapter 191 As Gu Yuena's property

Before she had time to think, Huo Yuhao's voice brought her back to reality.

"Your Highness, please take a seat. Your body is exhausted, so I can only receive you like this. I hope you can forgive me. I wonder what you want to see me for so late?"

"I came to see you this time because I have some arrangements to tell you..."

After telling Huo Yuhao all of Xu Jiawei's arrangements, seeing that he had no objection, Xu Jiujiu continued to ask.

"Then there is the Duke's Mansion. We have sent people to seal it up. I wonder what your plans are?"

As if he didn't expect Xu Jiawei to react so quickly, Huo Yuhao's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.

"I know. After receiving the reward tomorrow, I will go to the Duke's Mansion to resolve this matter. Please help me convey my gratitude to His Majesty."

Xu Jiujiu nodded slightly, and then asked another topic.

"There is one last thing. Dai Hao is now in prison. The Duke's position is vacant. Yuhao is now the only one who is qualified to inherit..."

Staring at the young man lying in bed, she asked solemnly.

"I wonder if you are willing to inherit the title of Duke of White Tiger?"

"Ah..."

Looking at the complicated emotions in Xu Jiujiu's eyes, Huo Yuhao chuckled and shook his head.

"No need, I do this just to seek justice for what happened to my mother. I have no intention of interfering with how His Majesty wants to deal with the military power held by Dai Hao..."

Speaking of this, Huo Yuhao paused for a moment and suddenly changed the subject.

"But if your majesty wants to let the position of Duke of White Tiger continue to be passed down, I can give you a suitable candidate."

"Oh?"

Xu Jiujiu's expression became serious: "I would like to hear more details."

"I also have a half-brother named Dai Luoli. Like me, he is not born to the Duchess, but because his mother originally had some background, he was treated much better than my mother in the Duke's Mansion."

"Dai Luoli's martial soul is the blood tiger. It should be a mutation of the evil-eyed white tiger. It's just that his talent is not good. Compared with the two brothers Dai Huabin and Dai Yueheng, there is a gap. If possible, I hope that your majesty can let him inherit the position of the Duke."

"..."

Xu Jiujiu's face was stunned. Another one?

No, how could Dai Hao have the nerve to say that in public before?

"...I know, I will tell my brother about this matter, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory result."

She would naturally not refuse such a thing. In her opinion, this is the best way to deal with it.

Xu Jiawei mentioned this to her in the afternoon. As an emperor, although he was optimistic about Huo Yuhao and was willing to invest in him and build a good relationship with him, this did not mean that he wanted to see Huo Yuhao inherit the Duke's Mansion.

After all, dealing with Dai Hao alone was enough to give them a headache. Now there was another person who was far superior to Dai Hao in terms of background and talent. Once Huo Yuhao inherited the Duke's position, the situation of their royal family would not change at all compared to before, but might become even more precarious.

Even if Huo Yuhao did not show his desire for power now, who could guarantee that he would not change in the future?

There were many examples of dragon slayers becoming evil dragons. Xu Jiawei did not dare to gamble. At present, the two sides were still in the so-called honeymoon period, so many problems were subconsciously ignored. Once the situation really broke out later, Huo Yuhao's threat would definitely be thousands of times stronger than Dai Hao.

Inheriting the Duke's position was a hidden danger, but if Huo Yuhao did not inherit it, it would also be a trouble.

Dai Hao was deposed, and the Duke's Mansion was in a state of great change. It was too sudden, and there was not enough time for the royal family to eliminate the subsequent impact.

But it would be different if Dai Luoli was there. Just the title of the son of the White Tiger Duke would allow them to do many things justifiably.

And from what Huo Yuhao said, Dai Luoli's talent was mediocre, which was a good thing for them. At least he would not be as difficult to deal with as Dai Hao. As long as they handled it properly, they could take back the power of the Duke's Mansion with the least impact. You will definitely have wealth and glory, and you just need to be a duke honestly.

Looking at Huo Yuhao, who had arranged things clearly, Xu Jiujiu pursed his lips and thanked him solemnly.

"Thank you."

"It's just a matter of mutual benefit. Dai Luoli's mother once took care of us mother and son in the Duke's Mansion. If you really want to thank me, I hope that the princess can tell His Majesty to treat me as a younger brother as well as possible."

"I will. It's getting late. I'll take my leave first..."

Before leaving, Xu Jiujiu glanced at Gu Yuena unintentionally and turned to walk out the door.

"Goodbye."

Creaky--

Bang.

As the door closed, the room once again fell into a kind of silence that made Huo Yuhao restless.

After a long silence, Gu Yuena's voice, mixed with a little curiosity, slowly echoed from the room.

"Now that the enemy has been resolved, what are your plans next?"

"I have many enemies. Dai Hao can only be regarded as the least presentable one. The next ones are all the highlights..."

Huo Yuhao shook his head and laughed. After thinking for a moment, he spoke softly.

"But there's no need to rush. Let's get familiar with the new abilities first."

Looking back on this competition, he definitely gained a lot. First of all, he got the Sword of Life and the Ice Scorpion's left arm bone from the Xingluo Royal Family, which directly increased his combat power by a large margin.

The Death of Fate has also been greatly supplemented by the evolution of Spirit Eyes, and what he needs to do is to use continuous training to use this ability in actual combat as soon as possible.

Then there is the fire source obtained from Xiao Lixuan. With the ability to create rare metals with customizable characteristics, this thing is enough to be called an artifact for any soul master.

Not to mention that it also comes with the inventory that Xiao Lixuan has accumulated in Sun Moon College over the years. With this fire source, the soul guidance device he makes will be greatly enhanced.

"But before that, I have to go to the far north first."

Gu Yuena raised her eyebrows: "Going to see the Snow Emperor again?"

"Well, she is approaching the 700,000-year catastrophe. I have to go and see her as soon as possible."

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao could not help but think of that snow-white figure. Although the Snow Emperor in the form of an embryo did not appear again at the Xingluo auction in this life, he was still a little worried in his heart.

Coincidentally, after absorbing the ice jade scorpion soul bone, his soul power level had reached level 40, and it was time to go to the far north.

After gathering his thoughts, Huo Yuhao met Gu Yuena's piercing eyes and couldn't help but feel confused.

"What's wrong?"

"nothing……"

Gu Yuena lowered her head slightly, as if thinking about how to describe it. After a while, she slowly spoke.

"Although I had feelings before, I am finally convinced that you are actually a...very protective person?"

"ah?"

Huo Yuhao was stunned, raising his hand and pointing at himself in disbelief: "Do I have it?"

"Isn't there any?"

Gu Yuena tilted her head and asked.

"Obviously Snow Emperor is far more powerful than you are now, but you behave as if you treat her like a child who has not grown up. Not even Snow Emperor, you always like to put the people around you in the cradle, even me. Same thing, isn’t it?”

"."

Looking at Huo Yuhao who was speechless, Gu Yuena curled her lips.

"Although that day is still far away, I look forward to the day when you can truly protect me."

After saying that, she seemed to no longer worry about the topic and asked casually.

"When are you ready to leave?"

"After we clean up the people in the Duke's Mansion tomorrow, I won't go back to the academy with you."

"In that case, let's save tonight's practice until you come back."

As if he didn't expect that such words would come out of Gu Yuena's mouth, Huo Yuhao subconsciously widened his eyes. However, before he could speak, he saw the girl in front of him leaning forward slightly, her delicate face constantly appearing in his field of vision. enlarge.

In a daze, Huo Yuhao felt the gentle touch coming from his lips, as if to prevent him from being snatched away by others, with unabashed aggression and possessiveness, marking him as his own.

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Yuena finally backed away slightly and let her warm breath hit Huo Yuhao's face.

"As my possessions..."

Looking at Huo Yuhao's gasping for breath, Gu Yuena stretched out her hand and gently stroked the remaining glistening corners of Huo Yuhao's lips.

"Please stay here and leave a taste that belongs to me."

the next day.

A group of boys and girls in regular clothes were gathering at the gate of Xingluo City to say their final goodbyes to Huo Yuhao.

Although the destination that Huo Yuhao wanted to go to and the Shrek Academy that everyone else wanted to go to were both in the north of Star Luo City, the directions were different.

"Sister Xiaotao, remember this. You must wait for me to come back. Don't foolishly go and get the soul ring by yourself."

Ma Xiaotao's soul power level reached level 69 two or three months ago. Compared to others whose levels are either too low or have not yet reached the bottleneck, she is already capable of absorbing 100,000-year-old jelly grass as a soul. qualifications.

Huo Yuhao naturally attached great importance to this. He was worried that the other party would get the soul ring at level 70 and get the soul ring in a flash. He gave serious instructions along the way.

"I know, you've said it several times, do you think I, a sister, am so disobedient?"

Ma Xiaotao rolled her eyes angrily: "It's you, are you really okay? How about I go with you?"

"It would be difficult for an ultimate ice soul master to stay in that place for a long time. By the time I get there, my strength will have almost recovered, so don't worry."

After looking around at everyone, Huo Yuhao chuckled and waved goodbye.

"That's all I have to say, I'm leaving now. Goodbye everyone."

Immediately afterwards, as the flying soul guide behind him lit up with a dazzling light, Huo Yuhao rose into the air and turned into a stream of light, speeding towards the north.
