บท 55: Star-Pattern Fox
The man seemed to sense them and suddenly turned around to look. The group were all stunned by each man's appearance. The girl called Nana even raised her hand to cover her slightly open mouth, her eyes full of shock.
'What a pair of gorgeous eyes! his fair skin and delicate features are even better on him than me!'
The girl swore that this was the most beautiful person she had ever seen, and even the Supreme Pontiff whom she admired most could not compare to the man in front of her.
"Everyone, now that you've been discovered, could you stop hiding and introduce yourself?"
A crisp voice rang out, bringing the stunned crowd back to their senses.
The middle-aged man was slightly surprised. He had just carefully sensed it, but couldn't detect the other party's soul power fluctuations. However, he thought that the boy looked only twelve or thirteen years old, and his soul power level should not be very high.
After a slight hesitation, he still remained vigilant and walked out from behind the bushes, followed by the three young people. When the fox soul beast saw them, it ignored the wound on its abdomen, forced itself up from the ground, and bared its teeth at them. The young man immediately turned around, reached out his hand and gently placed it on the fox's head to comfort it.
Only then did they notice that the boy's other hand was emitting a faint green light which was life energy being continuously transmitted to the fox soul beast.
A smile appeared on the boy's face, and he was the first to introduce himself, "My name is Huo Yuhao, may I ask who you are?"
The middle-aged man looked a little strange, but he still told his name and background.
"My name is Su Cheng, I'm a teacher at the Spirit Hall, and this time I'm bringing my students here to get soul rings."
In his opinion, as long as the name of the Spirit Hall is mentioned, even if the other party has ill intentions, they will have to think twice. This is the confidence coming from the number one force in the soul master world.
The three people at the back also gave their names one after another, and Huo Yuhao soon knew their names. The red-haired man was named Yan, the black-haired man was named Xie Yue, and the woman was named Hu Liena.
Everyone nodded. Hu Liena was somewhat curious about Huo Yuhao's behavior and asked in a familiar voice.
"Brother Yuhao, are you trying to save this soul beast? Is it your pet?"
It was hard for her to imagine that a human would go to so much trouble to save a soul beast. Su Cheng, who was standing aside, heard Hu Liena's words with flashing eyes and looked at the young man in front of him carefully.
Huo Yuhao shook his head and sighed as he looked at the soul beast beside him.
"I met it injured on the way back. Because I once promised someone to treat soul beasts well, I decided to save it, but it..."
"Nana, this soul beast is a Star-Pattern Fox! It's ten thousand years old! It's very suitable to be your soul ring!" Yan said in surprise after taking a closer look.
The others then looked closely at the trembling fox soul beast and saw layers of silver-white lines on its legs.
Hu Liena's eyes lit up, and she said to Huo Yuhao, "Since you only met it by coincidence, could you give it to me? I happen to be short of a soul ring."
Huo Yuhao raised his eyebrows, met Hu Liena's gaze, and asked, "May I ask which soul ring it is?"
"It's my fifth soul ring."
Huo Yuhao was delighted. He had originally thought that this Star-Pattern Fox was beyond saving, but unexpectedly, it met the right person.
"It's like this, Miss Hu. I can agree to your proposal, but it must be done according to my method. Are you willing to give it a try?"
After saying that, Huo Yuhao further explained the function of the spirit soul. After hearing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. No one gave an answer. This thing sounded too good to be true, but no one knew whether it was true or not. Even if it was true, who knew if there would be any hidden side effect? Beside that, they are strangers to each other.
Just as Su Cheng was about to refuse on behalf of Hu Liena, a beautiful mini deer emerged from Huo Yuhao's chest and appeared in front of them. It jumped onto Huo Yuhao's shoulder in a few steps.
"This is my spirit soul. Her name is Ah Lu. You can see it for yourself that I am not lying. Of course, I will not force you if you refuse. However, you will need to find another suitable soul beast for yourself."
"Is that real?!"
Hu Liena was immediately attracted by this creature called spirit soul, and she stretched out her hand curiously, wanting to touch it.
Ah Lu looked up and glanced at Hu Liena, a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes. She silently took two steps back, tilted her head and rubbed Huo Yuhao's cheek affectionately, glancing sideways at the stunned Hu Liena in front of her with an expressionless face. Seeing Ah Lu's disgusted movements and eyes, Hu Liena flushed with shame and anger.
'I was actually mocked by a deer!'
Huo Yuhao coughed awkwardly, touched Ah Lu on the shoulder, and smoothed things over.
"Ahem, Ah Lu is a bit shy, sorry."
Hu Liena didn't get angry with the soul beast. She realized that this soul had self-awareness, meaning that it will have preference.
'According to what Huo Yuhao said, it was like having an extra partner who was like-minded and would never betray me during battle! This was incredible thing for any soul master!'
After some inner struggle, she finally nodded.
"Ok, I accept!"
The middle-aged man at the side looked anxious, and was about to persuade her when he was interrupted by Hu Liena, "But you have to go back to the Spirit Hall with me, otherwise if there are any hidden side effect, you wouldn't be able to escape."
Huo Yuhao raised his eyebrows. He did not expect the other party to propose such a condition. After thinking for a moment, he did not choose to refuse. He did plan to contact Spirit Hall later for a negotiation.
'Going there now just means that the plan will be advanced by a little. Let just go to Spirit Hall first to confirm the situation.'
Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao nodded and said, "Okay, I will go with you after this matter is finish."
Then he whispered something to the Star-Pattern Fox. Fox soul beasts were usually smarter than ordinary soul beasts, and it roughly understood what Huo Yuhao meant, and nodded its furry little head.
This is a chance for it to continue living. As for whether the human in front is deceiving it...does it have a choice?
"Since both parties agree, let's start right away." Huo Yuhao nodded towards Hu Liena.
Although the others were still a little worried, since there was the example of Huo Yuhao himself and he had agreed to go back to the Spirit Hall with them, they did not try to dissuade her. After all, if this was true, then Hu Liena's combat ability would be greatly improved. If it was false, this young man would not be able to escape the Spirit Hall's pursuit.
"You both need to relax. But, It will be painful later on, so please hold on."
"Remember! If both parties are not willing, the contract is likely to fail."
"Got it. Let's get started." Hu Liena was a decisive person. Since she had agreed, she would not hesitate. She listened to Huo Yuhao's words and relaxed her body.
The Star-Pattern Fox also nodded, without making any resistance. The scene of Huo Yuhao using his life energy to save it was still vivid in its mind. It could be said that without this human boy, it would have died long ago.
