Douluo Dalu: Huo Yuhao Knows the Plot

Butler Lu's recklessness stemmed from mistakenly believing his opponent was a Soul Ancestor. Fortunately, he bore the Dai family name; otherwise, the Soul Sage would have taken his head instead of just removing his 'eggs'.

The black-clad woman remained silent, having realized she was witnessing yet another power struggle within a large family.

Butler Lu's face turned ashen with anger. This had always been a thorn in his side, and now, mocked in such a way, he could no longer restrain himself. His tone turned icy as he commanded, "Since the young master is so insensible, then don't blame this old servant for being disrespectful. Seize him!"

Upon hearing this, the other two were about to step forward and apprehend him, but in the next moment, Huo Yuhao acted. Demon-Breaking Domain, Chaos Demon, coupled with a Soul Shock – a swift two-pronged attack.

The three men stood rooted to the spot, their eyes glazed over. Simultaneously, three fine black needles pierced their foreheads.

Just like that, the three of them fell straight to the ground.

The black-clad woman stared blankly at the scene. This was going a bit beyond a family squabble, wasn't it? And how old was this young man? To instantly kill three Soul Emperors with such strength and ruthlessness…

"Thank you, young master, for saving my life."

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao turned his gaze to the black-clad woman. She appeared to be in her early twenties, with an oval face, a curvaceous and full figure, and tanned skin, giving her a slightly exotic look.

"There's no need for thanks. They were probably here to kill me. But why were they targeting you? Do you have some kind of feud with them?"

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao casually glanced at the other three corpses on the ground. This woman was no simple character either. Surrounded by six Soul Masters of the same level, she had actually managed to kill three of them.

The black-clad woman didn't hide anything and roughly explained the cause and effect.

The black-clad woman's name was Lin Xi, a native of the Star Luo Empire. Three years ago, her exceptional beauty caught the eye of a wealthy young master. At the time, Lin Xi was already a Soul Ancestor, so the young master didn't dare to use force. Instead, he secretly sent people to kidnap Lin Xi's younger brother, thus forcing Lin Xi to submit. But in the end, Lin Xi rescued her brother, and the wealthy young master was crippled, destined to spend the rest of his life in bed.

But that wasn't the end of it. It turned out that the wealthy young master's family was a branch of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion. What to do when a child is bullied outside and can't beat the opponent? Of course, they go crying to their parents.

When the Dai family learned of this matter, they were thunderously enraged and sent people to hunt down Lin Xi. The leader of the group was Butler Lu's son, but this guy also coveted Lin Xi's beauty and declared that he would plead with the family to spare Lin Xi as long as she became his woman.

But by this time, Lin Xi had already broken through to the Soul King level, and her pride wouldn't allow her to bow her head to her enemies. Besides, Butler Lu's son was just a newbie who had just entered the Soul Ancestor realm, and he wasn't worthy of her. So, unsurprisingly, this group was also killed.

After listening, Huo Yuhao felt somewhat emotional. Lin Xi's experience was just like the protagonist in a storybook – after dealing with the small fry, the big shots came, and after dealing with the big shots, the old ones came. But the protagonist is the protagonist, not only did nothing happen to her, but she became stronger with each setback. When she couldn't win, she even had benefactors to help her. This was definitely the life of a protagonist.

Well, in that case, Huo Yuhao could be considered her benefactor.

"May I ask what is your relationship with the Dai family?" the black-clad woman suddenly asked, uttering a seemingly unrelated question.

Huo Yuhao rummaged through the storage soul tools on the three men, not even turning his head as he casually replied, "No relationship. About the same as you."

*Thump!*

The black-clad woman suddenly knelt on one knee. "I have no way to repay your great kindness. If you don't mind, Lin Xi is willing to follow you from now on and be at your disposal."

Huo Yuhao was stunned by Lin Xi's sudden action, but he wasn't stupid. Without benefits, who would become a subordinate for no reason? Huo Yuhao turned his head and looked at Lin Xi with a non-smiling expression. "You have good talent, so why lower yourself? Give me a reason, and don't try to fob me off with some life-saving grace."

Meeting Huo Yuhao's gaze, Lin Xi actually felt like her inner thoughts had been seen through, secretly startled by the young man's powerful aura. "Young master has keen eyes. You easily killed Soul Emperors with the cultivation of a Soul Ancestor, so your future is surely limitless. I only ask that you can give me some pointers in cultivation."

Huo Yuhao smiled. He understood now. This woman was interested in his strength that surpassed his level, and the main point should be that both of them were being hunted down by the Dai family, so this woman wanted to band together for warmth.

"You're quite honest. Then you can follow me for now, but I'll state in advance that I have nothing to teach others." After Huo Yuhao finished speaking, he ignored her and walked away on his own.

Lin Xi followed him, deciding to observe for a period of time before making a decision.

By evening, Huo Yuhao had already returned home. The last time he sent Ye Leng Leng back, he had instructed Wang Qing to help take care of her. According to Wang Qing, Ye Leng Leng had been running to the bookstore these days.

Huo Yuhao wasn't surprised. Ye Leng Leng wanted to understand the new environment, so she went to the bookstore. Thinking that Ye Leng Leng had traveled from ten thousand years ago, would the historical records about her also be changed?

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao walked to the balcony and softly called out a name, "Song Ming?"

"Young master, do you have any instructions?" As Huo Yuhao's voice fell, an ordinary-looking man suddenly appeared beside him. Song Ming was a Soul Douluo at level eighty-seven, replacing Huang Yan to be responsible for Huo Yuhao's safety. After all, Huang Yan was already a Titled Douluo, and it was a bit inappropriate to have him as a bodyguard.

"Investigate the background of these two people, and also find information about the owners of the Nine Heart Sea棠 Spirit in history."

Song Ming didn't know why the young master wanted him to do this, but he still acted according to the principle of doing more, saying less, and being more careful.

Lin Xi and Ye Leng Leng transformed into nannies and took over dinner, but the taste… well, the less said the better.

That night, Lin Xi, who had just taken a bath, sat on the bed and began to cultivate, her eyes widening, filled with disbelief. She found that her cultivation speed was at least doubled compared to usual.

No, it's the world's spiritual energy here. After carefully sensing it, Lin Xi discovered the reason.

The next day, Huo Yuhao stood by the lake with his eyes closed, a fist-sized black vortex in front of him. The vortex slowly rotated, and a suction force came from it.

This was the spatial ability Huo Yuhao obtained through the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. With his Spiritual Detection spread out, Huo Yuhao observed the subtle changes in space, trying to enhance his understanding of space. After all, the spatial power brought by the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger could only be said to be a seed, and Huo Yuhao still needed to study it carefully.

Spatial power was usually only mastered by Limit Douluos like Mu En. If Huo Yuhao hadn't had the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, he didn't know how long he would have to wait to cultivate it himself.

As for the power of time, it was too profound and not something Huo Yuhao could study now.

It must be said that the current Huo Yuhao was a complete cheat, with the memories of two lifetimes, the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon Art, a soul ring of nearly 400,000 years, a legacy mark that could increase cultivation speed, and mastering seven elements: evil, darkness, thunder, ice, wind, space, and time.
