Chapter 66: Communication
The bartender was also expressing his own opinion when talking about the excitement.
"The current emperor, Emperor Xue Ye's health is deteriorating, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has no rivals. Only the fourth Imperial Prince Xue Beng is qualified to compete, but alas, he is only a well-known playboy. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will probably inherit the throne in a few years."
Huo Yuhao raised his eyebrows. "Hmm? What about the other princes? What happen to the third and fourth Imperial Prince?"
The bartender's body shuddered suddenly, and after a hissing sound, he lowered his head to wipe the glasses and said no more. Huo Yuhao also realized that he asked something unnecessary. He took out a gold coin and placed it on the table. He pushed it to the bartender along with the empty glass and said softly.
"Mister, we had only just arrived at Heaven Dou City. We're only just curious. Please forgive me if I ask too much. Give me another glass of beer, and the rest will be your tip."
The bartender's expression relaxed when he saw this. After taking the money, he brought out a glass of beer, looked around, and when he was sure no one was paying attention, he spoke softly.
"Seeing that you are so generous, little brother, I guess I can tell you."
Then he cleared his throat and spoke in a low voice.
"The current Crown Prince Xue Qinghe is actually the second among the four princes. There used to be the first and third Imperial Prince. The third Imperial Prince had a very high talent for cultivation, and the first Imperial Prince is extremely intelligent. Both of them were deeply loved by the Emperor. However, in just a few years, they both died suddenly one after another. Even the soul masters within the Imperial family could not find the murderer. During that period, the number of guards in Heaven Dou City increased by threefold! It caused such a panic among the people, and to this day, it has been left unsolved."
"..."
Huo Yuhao and Hu Liena looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
"There is actually such a case. No wonder you can't mention it. Thank you for telling me, mister. Otherwise, I would have said something wrong while staying here."
Seeing Huo Yuhao thanking him, the bartender waved his hands proudly and said, "These are all old stories. No need to thank me."
When the two walked out of the tavern, the sky outside had completely darkened. The brightly lit city obscured the faint light of the stars, but the golden candlelight made the atmosphere even warmer.Hu Liena gently hugged Huo Yuhao's arm, raised her head slightly and looked at the boy's profile with a dazed look.
"What's on your mind?"
"Oh, I've heard that there's a lot of bloody competition among the princes within Star Luo Empire. I just didn't expect that Heaven Dou Empire Imperial family would be the same."
Huo Yuhao recalled the story of Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai. On the surface, the Heaven Dou Empire Imperial family was less brutal than Star Luo Empire, but an Empire could only have one supreme ruler. In order to sit on that position, the princes would naturally do everything they can.
"Emperors have always been ruthless."
Hu Liena chuckled, "Oh? I didn't expect you to care about these things? Why don't you use that brain of your to solve where we are sleeping tonight?"
"Ahem, Let's just go a hotel and get two rooms."
"Two rooms!?"
The sudden exclamation echoed throughout the street, and even Huo Yuhao was startled. Passersby looked over in the direction of the sound, curiously sizing up the handsome man and beautiful woman who seemed to be arguing.
Hu Liena had no awareness of being watched at all. It might be more like this was the effect she wanted. She just glared and pretended to be angry.
"Before you said that we were in a hurry to travel, so it would be better to sleep separately to rest. But now that the matter has been settled, you still want to get two rooms? Why not just one?"
Huo Yuhao was stunned and covered Hu Liena's mouth as quickly as he could. The mocking looks from passers-by were like knives cutting at his back. He wished he could burrow into the ground and said softly.
"Let's find a hotel first and then talk about this."
Hu Liena's eyes were full of smiles as she looked at Huo Yuhao proudly.
"Don't play dumb."
The two arrived at the hotel. Although Huo Yuhao tried his best to argue, he was still defeated by Hu Liena's words. In the end, Huo Yuhao succumbed to Hu Liena's toughness and checked into a room under the ambiguous gaze of the front desk waiter.
"Here are your room keys. Good night."
...
"Not bad~"
Hu Liena looked around the luxuriously decorated room. The dark red decoration style with gold patterns, coupled with the dim lighting, created a strong atmosphere.
Huo Yuhao lowered his head and did not dare to look at the other person. He said awkwardly, "Ahem, I will just rest on the sofa, you can take the bed."
Hu Liena raised her eyebrows, a glimmer flashed in her eyes, and she looked at Huo Yuhao with a smile, "Hmm? You agreed to guide me in my cultivation, but now you want to practice alone instead?"
"Fine then. When do we start start?" Huo Yuhao was stunned. He really didn't expect Hu Liena to be serious. His face immediately turned serious.
"No rush. We're both tired. Let's boil some water and take a bath first, then we can start. You can go first." Hu Liena couldn't hide the smile on her lips, and pointed to the bathroom and urged.
"Okay." Huo Yuhao nodded in a daze. Since Hu Liena wanted to ask him about matter related to her martial soul, he didn't think much about it. However, Hu Liena's smiling face gave Huo Yuhao a bad feeling.
For this reason, when taking a shower, Huo Yuhao looked at the door vigilantly to prevent Hu Liena from suddenly barging in. As a result, nothing happened until he finished showering. Everything went smoothly. He couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that he did misunderstand the other party.
'Maybe she really only wanted guidance.'
After Huo Yuhao came out and Hu Liena went in, the wait was a bit torturous. To calm down, Huo Yuhao sorted out the knowledge about martial souls in his mind and made targeted adjustments based on Hu Liena's 'Charming Fox' and her fighting style.
The door opened with a click. Huo Yuhao looked up at the sound, his mouth slightly open, and he stood there in a daze.
Rich steam gushed out, and a loose transparent gauze pajamas was covered on the slender body, and a hot figure tightly wrapped in pink underwear was clearly visible. The misty eyes flashed with deep affection, and there were still water droplets that had not been wiped off on the slender legs.
Seeing the boy's dilema, Hu Liena curled her lips and walked towards him step by step. Huo Yuhao then came to his senses, his throat moved violently, he turned his head away and dared not look at the other party, even his voice trembled.
"Ahem, You can call out your 'Charming Fox' now."
"Haha. Isn't...."
A hoarse and charming voice gently brushed past Huo Yuhao's ears, filling the atmosphere with a layer of decadent color. The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and finally stopped in front of Huo Yuhao.
A hand lifted up Huo Yuhao's face and gently turned him around. What came into view was a charming face, and behind her was a big furry tail swinging wildly.
"Isn't she right in front of you?"
