Douluo Dalu: Huo Yuhao Knows the Plot

Chapter 230: The Xiao Family's Chaos

"Xiao Xiao, is something the matter?" Huo Yuhao asked curiously, sensing the urgency in her tone.

Xiao Xiao's face flushed red as she stammered, "Captain, do, do you think, what do you think of me?"

These words, spoken in this setting, made everyone realize what she meant.

Huo Yuhao's lips twitched. He had considered this possibility before, especially given the current environment and background – this was a matchmaking event, after all.

His eyes flicked to He Caitou. In the original story, those two were a couple, but Huo Yuhao noticed that the latter showed no reaction, simply watching the drama like everyone else.

"Giggle!"

Han Ruoruo let out a silvery laugh, looking at the petite Xiao Xiao and teasing, "Little sister, you're so young to be here for matchmaking. My advice is to go back and develop for a couple more years."

Xiao Xiao's face burned. She was naturally shy, and she would never have confessed her feelings in front of so many people under normal circumstances.

Meeting Xiao Xiao's expectant gaze, Huo Yuhao didn't hesitate and stated clearly, "I already have a partner. I'll introduce you when there's a chance."

Hesitation only breeds trouble. Huo Yuhao had no feelings for Xiao Xiao, so he decisively refused, preventing her from harboring any illusions and wasting her youth.

He didn't know why she had suddenly done this. Didn't she used to like Wang Dong?

"Ah, is that so?" Xiao Xiao drooped her head, somewhat disappointed but not heartbroken.

It wasn't that she particularly liked Huo Yuhao, but she urgently needed to find a boyfriend for some special reasons.

Huo Yuhao asked strangely. Xiao Xiao's words made him feel like he was about to abduct someone's bride, and the bride was willingly running away with the kidnapper.

"Hehe, I'm just going through the motions. There's no one I particularly like. Captain, can you treat me to dinner?" Xiao Xiao revealed a playful smile.

Everyone: "…"

You just confessed to someone and now you're all smiles after being rejected. Do you have to be so carefree?

The male students didn't mind. As Han Ruoruo said, Xiao Xiao was simply too young.

Huo Yuhao didn't say much. With a casual grab, an invisible force lifted Xiao Xiao off the lake and brought her to his side.

"Everyone, please continue. Sorry for the interruption."

Offering an apologetic smile to the surrounding students, Huo Yuhao directly took Xiao Xiao and transformed into two streaks of light, quickly flying away from Shrek Academy.

Inside Shrek City, Xiao Xiao and Huo Yuhao walked side by side at a leisurely pace. They found a restaurant and asked for a private room.

"Alright, tell me, Xiao Xiao, what are you up to?" Huo Yuhao asked while looking at the menu.

"Captain, can't I just genuinely like you? It's the Sea God's Fated Blind Date! There's no one I particularly like. If I had to choose one, I think the Captain would be pretty good. How about I become your mistress, Captain?"

Perhaps because they were alone, Xiao Xiao's courage grew.

Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes and handed the menu to Xiao Xiao. She took it and randomly ticked a few dishes she liked, then a waiter took it away to prepare the food.

Seeing Huo Yuhao no longer speaking, Xiao Xiao became anxious. After hesitating again and again, she finally spoke awkwardly.

"Captain, can you, can you be my boyfriend for a few days and accompany me home?"

As she spoke, Xiao Xiao's little hands fidgeted, sometimes on her lap, sometimes under her bottom, revealing her unease.

That's your real purpose, isn't it? Huo Yuhao looked at her restless movements and smiled inwardly, "You want me to pretend to be your boyfriend?"

Xiao Xiao lowered her head and nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

"Could it be that your family is starting to pressure you to get married?" Huo Yuhao asked gossipily.

"No, but my parents have arranged a marriage for me. The engagement ceremony is when I go back on vacation in two months," Xiao Xiao replied softly.

"So that's what it is. It's just an engagement. By the way, who's your fiancé? Maybe you can try to get to know him first. What if he's a good person? What do you say?"

"I don't want to!" Xiao Xiao's tone suddenly became agitated, her face slightly pale.

"Ah, this…" Huo Yuhao suddenly stopped, leaving the last word unspoken, but Xiao Xiao understood what he was going to say.

That was initiated by Sea God's teacher, Yu Xiaogang, and is despised by the world.

Speaking of which, Mu En and Bei Bei are products of that Yu Xiaogang, and these two are actually made into statues and placed on the Shrek campus for students to worship, which is extremely ridiculous. It's simply not knowing what shame is.

"Tell me about your family's specific situation," Huo Yuhao said. If it wasn't too difficult, he would help, considering they were acquaintances.

"Okay, okay." Xiao Xiao nodded and began to tell her story. "Our family's inherited martial souls are the Nine Phoenixes Coming to Court Flute and the Soul-Shocking Cauldron. Once, there was an ancestor…"

At first, Huo Yuhao's face darkened as he listened. She was talking about her marriage, but why was she bringing up her ancestor? Later, he understood that Xiao Xiao's family had once produced a Title Douluo. That Title Douluo, like Xiao Xiao, was also a twin martial soul.

Relying on the advantage of twin martial souls, that person eventually cultivated to the Limit Douluo realm. He even participated in the war against the Sun Moon Empire. The Xiao family rose sharply, and their status once approached Shrek's.

But since that Limit Douluo passed away, the Xiao family had no outstanding experts and was suppressed by various parties, and they were quickly brought back to their original state.

The Xiao family realized the power and importance of twin martial souls, and since then began to strongly support internal family marriages, that is, to match the descendants with the Nine Phoenixes Coming to Court Flute and the Soul-Shocking Cauldron to combine with each other, in order to give birth to descendants who possess both martial souls at the same time.

And it must be said that this method was really successful. The Xiao family later successively produced several soul masters with twin martial souls, although no one reached the height of the former, but it can be regarded as ensuring that the Xiao family is prosperous.

It has been almost more than three hundred years since the last twin martial soul, and the Xiao family has finally waited for Xiao Xiao, which is an opportunity for the Xiao family to rise, and they will definitely tie Xiao Xiao to the Xiao family, hence the engagement.

However, Xiao Xiao's cousin can also be regarded as the number one genius of the Xiao family besides Xiao Xiao. He has innate level eight soul power, and his current cultivation is at the peak of Soul Emperor, and he will be able to break through to Soul Saint in at most one year.

After listening to Xiao Xiao's story, Huo Yuhao smacked his lips. This was really a twisted family.

Letting their top genius be a concubine for someone, what were they thinking? Moreover, Xiao Xiao and her cousin were twelve years apart, which could barely make him her father. Although age doesn't matter much between soul masters, some people would still feel awkward.
