#394 - Nightmare of Stairs (Posted at 6pm)

Although they got excited and couldn't wait to pull Orange onto the desk and start a fierce fight, the two people who were so passionate about the topic didn't actually stay in the study for too long. Instead, they quickly went to the bedroom in tacit understanding.

There are two reasons for doing this. First, there is a possibility that Ke Ke will come back. Being interrupted just when they were about to make a decisive move was already resentful enough. If she comes back again in the middle of the battle, both of them will probably have psychological trauma.

Secondly, there is a lot of important information on the table. If it gets wet accidentally, it will be troublesome to deal with.

Of course, with the idea of ​​teaching Orange a lesson, Huo Yuhao did not let her go on the way to the bedroom.

This is really bitter for Orange.

During the whole process, she was so powerless that she clung to Huo Yuhao like a koala, allowing him to walk step by step from the study to the bedroom on the third floor.

Although, in theory, there were no outsiders in the castle, Huo Yuhao still activated the simulated soul skill for the sake of safety.

It was as if it had been planned for a long time. He could still bear it when being carried on the flat ground, but once they reached the stairs, Orange felt as if he was going to ascend to heaven in the ups and downs. He was in ecstasy, and apart from some meaningless sounds coming out of his throat unconsciously, his brain had already gone blank, and he didn't even have the thought of sighing.

Not only did Huo Yuhao do something naughty, he also deliberately slowed down his pace when climbing the stairs!

It was obvious that he could kill the Extreme Douluo in one move, but he had to pretend to be extremely weak. Not only did his hands lose strength from time to time, causing her body to sink uncontrollably, but he even had to stop and rest for a while after climbing each step.

But the most disgusting thing happened when he stepped on the last step to the third floor.

Orange, who had gone through so much hardship, saw that he had persevered to the end and mistakenly thought that everything was finally over. He subconsciously relaxed his body a little. Unexpectedly, this guy pretended to lose his balance and suddenly staggered back several steps, causing the progress that was almost completed to return to the middle again.

The result is predictable.

After this experience, the long staircase that she had never noticed before became deeply engraved in Orange's heart like a nightmare. She was tormented to the point of being unconscious and had no idea when she returned to the bedroom. She also forgot how many times she had been defeated by Huo Yuhao in the process.

Exhausted both physically and mentally, she fell into a deep sleep almost as soon as her head touched the bed.

As for Huo Yuhao, after feeling that Orange had successfully absorbed all the medicinal effects of the Qiankun Creation Pill with his help, he couldn't help but reveal a smile that concealed his achievement and fame.

He considerately helped Orange wipe the sweat off her body and injected a stream of life energy into her body to help her recover. Huo Yuhao then kissed the corners of her lips, which were slightly raised in satisfaction, and turned and left.

"Your Majesty, you are here."

Seeing Huo Yuhao, disguised as Xu Tianran, slowly walking towards him, the servants in front of the reception room hurriedly saluted respectfully.

"Ms. Keke and Her Majesty the Queen's friends are already inside."

"Okay, I'll go in by myself, you go down and rest first."

"ah"

Although he really wanted to remind Huo Yuhao that it would be safer if he stood guard at the door, considering that the emperor was usually elusive and might have his own plans in mind, the guard did not say anything more. He bowed and left the reception room.

After watching the other party leave, Huo Yuhao unlocked his simulated soul skill, pushed the door and walked in.

Almost as soon as they heard the noise, several people who were sipping tea on the sofa cast their eyes towards him at the same time.

"Here I come, you bastard. You asked me to help you notify others, but you ended up being the last one to arrive."

Ke Ke, who was well prepared, spoke first, complaining with a smile, "When I went to find them just now, they didn't believe that you, Yuhao, had come to the palace. Now they should know that I didn't make fun of you, right?"

"Feel sorry."

Huo Yuhao scratched his hair and smiled apologetically: "Juzi encountered some problems and was delayed for a while, so I came a little late. Did you wait for a long time?"

"It only took me a cup of tea, not long."

Jing Ziyan, who was always talkative, looked Huo Yuhao up and down and couldn't help but smile: "This is really rare. A busy man with so many things to do actually has time to come to us. Have you finished the things at the Spirit Pagoda?"

"It's barely over. I finally came to the Sun Moon Empire, so I wanted to meet you all. It's been a long time since we last met."

"No thanks."

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but roll his eyes and waved his hands repeatedly: "Let's put the sparring aside for now. I called you here today to give you a gift, not to fight you."

To this day, the gap between him and Ji Juechen is beyond description in words. Competing with him in such an absolutely crushing situation will not only fail to bring any benefits to Ji Juechen, but may also cause him to become distracted and begin to doubt the path he is taking.

Anyway, this guy had already learned what he needed to learn from him when he was in Sun and Moon Academy, and the rest he could only rely on his own exploration and hard work.

After saying that, Huo Yuhao looked at Meng Hongchen, who had been pouting since he entered the room, as if he didn’t want to pay attention to him, and his tone suddenly became a little more awkward.

"Long time no see, Xiao Meng, how are you doing recently?"

"snort."

Meng Hongchen glanced at him coldly: "I eat well, sleep well, study soul guides every day, and don't have to think about a heartless man. I am so lucky!"

"Yeah?"

As if he had found an opportunity to sabotage, Xiao Hongchen asked in confusion, "Who was it that lost his appetite for the past six months, and after hearing Ke Ke say that Yu Hao came to Mingdu, he jumped three feet high with joy and almost lifted the ceiling?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Meng Hongchen's face turned red visibly.

"Xiao Hongchen!!! Who are you talking about? If you keep saying something completely untrue, don't blame me for being rude!"

"oh?"

Xiao Hongchen curled the corners of his lips in a smug manner, looking like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water: "I haven't even said who it is yet, and someone is so anxious to identify it?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Meng Hongchen was furious and seemed to want to say something, but his peripheral vision suddenly noticed Huo Yuhao who was laughing at the side, and he couldn't help but question him.

"How dare you laugh? More than half a year has passed, and you didn't even bother to come to Mingdu to take a look. How dare you laugh!"

"Ahem, I realized my mistake and am ready to apologize to you, right?"

Huo Yuhao’s face froze, realizing that if he let this topic continue, his ending might not be good. He coughed twice and took out several crystal bottles that had been packed in advance from the storage space.

"Now that everyone is here, let's get started."

The glittering liquid instantly attracted Meng Hongchen's attention. Regardless of being angry, she reached out to take the crystal bottle and looked at it with curiosity.

"What's this?"

"It's a pill that can improve your cultivation. However, it's different from the ones you take. The effect of this pill is definitely beyond your imagination."

"It won't leave impurities in the body like ordinary pills do. It can even cleanse the meridians and marrow like Orange's soul skill, and completely solve the hidden dangers left by the medicine you took before."

“So amazing?”

Jing Ziyan became interested. As a student of Sun Moon Academy, she spent most of her time studying soul guides, and her cultivation was almost entirely assisted by drugs, so that her cultivation was in a state of difficulty in making any progress for a long time.

Although after Orange obtained the 100,000-year-old soul, they would occasionally send them pink-skinned oranges that also had the effect of cleansing the meridians and marrow, the effect of that thing was not strong and had to be taken for a long time to achieve the desired effect.

In addition, due to the closeness of their relationship, every time Orange refreshed her soul skills, she would give priority to her unreliable best friend Keke. The rest of them would only get one or two at most, which they would take together with their medicine to prevent the situation from getting worse.

And now, the medicine brought by Huo Yuhao undoubtedly gave them a huge surprise.

Although they don’t understand this pill, they understand Huo Yuhao!

Since the other party said that it can cleanse their marrow and completely eliminate their hidden dangers, then it must have this effect.

For no reason, everyone began to look forward to his words "the effect is beyond imagination".

"This gift is really valuable, but I can't find any reason to refuse it, so thank you very much. If you need anything in the future, I will definitely go through fire and water to help you."

Jing Ziyan chuckled and asked impatiently, "Is there anything taboo about this? Can I just drink it directly?"

"Yes, you can take it now. I will be there to protect you."

Huo Yuhao slapped his head and suddenly took out a simple-looking giant sword that was nearly two meters long from his storage space and handed it to Ji Juechen: "Old Ji, I have made you a more suitable sword now. Take a look and see if you like it."

This question was of course asked in vain, because as soon as the giant sword appeared, Ji Juechen's eyes fell on it involuntarily and could not move away at all.

"This sword has only one characteristic, which is that it will become extremely sharp after being injected with soul power. Other than that, I have not added any additional functions to this sword. I believe you also know that those are just superfluous to you.

Ji Juechen was already speechless. He just reached out his trembling hand to take it, and gently stroked it as if he was treating a lover he fell in love with at first sight.

After a long time, he took a deep breath and thanked him solemnly.

"Thank you. I owe you that."
