章節 48: Little Surprise and Guest?

--- Chapter 48 ---

Huo Yuhao finished breakfast and placed his spoon on the empty plate. Huo Yun'er cooked several things for him, but her french toast somehow was the greatest among all of them. People might think it's weird to eat dessert, but Huo Yuhao doesn't care and devours enough french toast to feed a big family for a week.

"So Good~!!"

Huang Yuna squealed in joy while nibbling on honey-covered toast. Her adorable face beamed with a warm yet cute pinkish glow, causing everyone around the dining table to get amused by it. The feared Auspicious Monarch is no more. This woman is just a bread enthusiast.

"I bet the Spirit Beast's division would have their jaws on the ground when seeing their commander like this." Huo Yuhao commented with a teasing smile on his face.

Scathach joined and added, "Last week, she hid a few boxes of croissants at the training ground. And ate them while no one was watching her."

Huang Yuna blushed when hearing Scathach's comment and lowered her head. "S-Shut up, Bwead is life. How dawe you, Scathach!" She suddenly replied while having toast stuffed into her mouth.

Huo Yuhao chuckled and wiped the Auspicious Monarch's mouth with a napkin. He gently cleaned some honey off her face and commented, "Don't talk when you're eating, Yuna."

"BREAD IS LIFE!" Huang Yuna finished the toast and stood from her seat.

"Yeah, yeah. Stuff more toasts into your mouth, Yuna. You're not a Qilin anymore, but a squirrel." Qianye Ying'er giggled while gracefully cutting her share with tableware, which left the Auspicious Monarch speechless.

Huo Yun'er placed a tray filled with various cuts of meat, searing with a heavenly aroma. Scathach wanted to take her chance, but the mother caught the warrior queen's wrist. "Hao'er first, Scathach." She said while smiling at the God Slayer.

"Sure," Scathach replied, looking at Huo Yun'er hand that locked her wrist like an iron bar. "Your strength increased again."

"Yeah, It's not that important to share." Huo Yun'er returned while giving her beloved son the "biggest." portion.

Huo Yuhao leaned on the chair and checked Huo Yun'er status with Evo's help. He frowned a little because of his mother's cultivation. When she said, "It's not that important." any title douluo would be shocked when knowing her real strength.

[Name: Huo Yun'er]

[Age: 32]

[Race: Ancient Human, Divine Fox(+)]

[Cultivation: Level 98(Peak Hyper Douluo)]

[Martial Soul: Mystic Spirit Eyes(7+), Heavenly Fox(9+)]

[Power Level: Level 99.5(Demi-God/Deity Level)]

[Description: A mother with an ultimate son complex and her love for Huo Yuhao was limitless]

Huo Yuhao smiled weakly inside when reading the description box because even though it was short, it fit Huo Yun'er very well. He clicked on the Divine Fox's race and saw an additional panel appear out of thin air.

[Divine Fox]

[Divine Foxes were creatures who witnessed the mystery of the universe beginning, having an innate ability to see Luck, Doom, Fate, and even the Destiny of one's being. They are extinct because of this fearsome ability and passed down their bloodlines to the Heavenly Fox Clan]

Huo Yuhao always wondered how far Huo Yun'er could see one's destiny because she wasn't just an oracle with those eyes. Huo Yun'er explained that her ability didn't manipulate but directed the Luck and Doom Qi away, indirectly stripping one's fate and destiny. It would be easily mistaken as future sight because one's destiny changes based on life choices.

"Hmm... We haven't done it for a few weeks." Huo Yuhao's eyes slowly lingered on Huo Yun'er rosy lips. It's a based fact that Huo Yun'er has become more "Milfy." after getting her High Human race upgraded to Ancient Human. And Divine Fox Race enhanced that even further, giving her such a charming foxy persona from time to time.

Huo Yun'er placed her finger on Huo Yuhao's lips and brushed the meat's juices off. She gave him a wink and licked the juice sensually. "Oh, Did I catch you off guard~?" She teased him and leaned on the dining table, making her "huge." racks rest on it.

"Yeah. That was wonderful." Huo Yuhao replied with a smile.

Scathach and Qianye Ying'er squint their eyes at the massive assets on the dining table. They are frowning because how could someone be so big yet perky? Those things are almost gravity-defying at this point.

"Big." Huang Yuna said while stacking french toast like a tower on her plate.

Scathach and Qianye Ying'er agreed and replied, "Mm, Big."

They aren't talking about the same thing but agree something was big on the table. After breakfast, Huo Yuhao went to the washroom and washed his hand, remembering something important about Douluo Dalu 2's story.

"Oh no... I forgot about that accident." Huo Yuhao remembered that worms would come to the Douluo Continent after drifting in the open sea for a while. And that worm gets attacked by some powerful Spirit Beast in the ocean and Spirit Dou forest, forcing itself to hide in a secret spot.

"Star Dou Forest's Entrance. Is that worm going to be there, though? I'm afraid my existence and actions in the past six years have changed several things from the original story."

"Butterfly effect is a thing, after all." Huo Yuhao remarked while staring at his reflection in the mirror. He was too far ahead of the original Huo Yuhao.

After thinking for a while, Huo Yuhao suddenly connected himself to Giana's core with his spiritual energy. His Techno Master Class was special because he didn't need to wield any weapon to have its skill.

"Hmm? Do you need something, Master?" Giana flew out of the nearest electronics.

She was in her ethereal form, having a height of barely half a foot. She looked like a little fairy.

Huo Yuhao wiped his hand with a towel and replied, "Connect me to RISU."

[Connecting...]

[RISU or Ratatoskr Interstellar Satelite Unit was under Master's Spiritual Control]

Huo Yuhao closed his eyes and opened them again to see the scenery of Douluo Planet from orbital space. He used Overclock and scanned the whole planet with Kenbunshoku Haki, making some people alerted because his powerful Spiritual Energy swept over them.

"It's like the whole world is on my palm." Huo Yuhao employed Risu's wide range to grasp Skydream Ice Worm's location. And after several seconds, he discovered a powerful spiritual energy source from Star Dou Forest's territory.

A sigh of relief escaped Huo Yuhao's mouth because he was saving Skydream Ice Worm for the Eyes of the Lord. No way he would miss out on a free sentient 1 million years old Spirit Ring.

[Name: Tian Meng]

[Species: Spiritual Ice Worm]

[Cultivation Age: 1.000.000 years old(weakened)]

[Description: Skydream Ice Worm or Tian Meng is a spirit beast with dual attributes, Ice and Mental/Spiritual. She reached the 1.000.000 years old phase by consuming a lot of Cold Essence and fell into deep hibernation]

"Uh, She??"

...

Java Island, The Entertainment District.

Java Island was an abandoned island before getting discovered by Dragon Nest. It was well-known as a dead island without any resources and was "actually." used by some pirate groups as a hideout. However, the place transformed in just two years and became an entertainment district for Dragon Nest's members.

Even though Java Island doesn't have a vast area, Dragon Nest used it smartly by adding a few floating islands around it. It caused the island to become more like an anchor to several places on the boat. And the whole district is roughly 50 km square, with a towering building in the center.

Several ships arrived at Java Island's docks, revealing a group of people escorted by Dragon Nest's high-ranked members. They are people invited by Dragon Nest to attend the first-ever public auction.

"Huh, I didn't expect this island to become such a place." A blue-haired man from the Shrek Academy commented when landing on Java Island. "How could such an organization build something like this under our noses?"

This man is Shrek Academy's 216th Headmaster, Yan Shaozhe, and is known as Bright Phoenix Douluo. He was one of Shrek Academy's representatives.

A woman with neatly bundled green hair and in a military jacket kicked Yan Shaozhe from behind. She huffed and crossed her arms because he was blocking her view. "You're on the way, Shaozhe!" She said with a frown.

This woman is Sin Ling'er. The Head of the Spirit Guidance Department and one of the other Shrek Academy representatives, she was known as the Valkyrie Douluo.

Yan Shaozhe brushed his back and replied, "Geez, I know you're short, but don't kick people like that."

"What did you say? I'm 170 centimeters!" A tick mark appeared on Sin Ling'er face.

They bantered lightly for a few moments and saw two or three people from the Sun and Moon Empire. Yan Shaozhe recognized a particular individual and couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

"That man is..." Sin Ling'er has a solemn expression all of a sudden.

Yan Shaozhe nodded and added, "Yes, Jing Hongchen. The Lord of the Virtuous Hall and famous researcher in Spirit Guidance Tool's community. The Sun and Moon Empire actually sent him here."

They are talking about a middle-aged man with silky white hair and blue eyes. He wore a monocle and a purple robe with Sun and Moon symbols on the chest area.

A few more ships arrived, and the dock "immediately." was crowded with people. Yan Shaozhe was speechless because Dragon Nest invited not just big factions but also kingdoms on the Douluo Continent.

"This is getting out of hand." Sin Lin'er leaned on a ship.

"Hmm??"

A powerful presence suddenly appeared, and everyone raised their heads instinctively, witnessing a beautiful woman in formal attire descend from the sky with dancing purple lightning. She landed at Java Island's entrance and greeted them with a friendly smile.

"Welcome to Java Island, Everyone." Liu Mei greeted while pushing her glasses up.

"My name is Liu Mei, your escort until the Dragon Auction Event is over. Please be mindful of your actions here because Dragon Nest won't tolerate people with no sense of respect. Any Action that was out of the norm and morality would ban you from ever entering Dragon Nest's facilities."

A man in a stylish-looking tunic walked through the crowd of people and approached Liu Mei with a smirk. "Who are you threatening us like this, huh?!" He yelled before the Queen of Thunder's face.

"Sir, that wasn't a threat but a warning from me." Liu Mei answered calmly. "Unless you want to be out of this event, I recommend you to be "less." aggressive."

"HOW DARE YOU!" The man shouted instead.

(An: Yes, This is such a Cliche)

Liu Mei giggled and replied, "Oh~?"

Dragon Nest's members in the area shivered when hearing Liu Mei's shift in tone. The Queen of Thunder was known for being strict among the Dragon Nest community, and this guy was dumb enough to shout at her.

"That guy is dead..."

"You're messing with Thunder Demon."

"If I was him, I'd run away immediately."

Liu Mei casually flicked her finger because there was no room for discussion and sent the man flying back to the Douluo Continent's southern beach, a few kilometers away from Java Island.

Everyone who witnessed Liu Mei's action "completely." was caught off guard because everything happened so fast. Their eyes aren't fast enough to grasp it.

Among the crowd, some people obviously noticed something even more frightening about this escort. Yan Shaozhe opened his mouth in disbelief because he witnessed Liu Mei's spirit ring configuration in that "blink of an eye." moment.

'How is that even possible?!' Yan Shaozhe clenched his hand tightly.

Jing Hongchen fixed his monocule with a slightly trembling hand of shock. "I'm afraid this organization is not that simple..." He whispered solemnly.

"That woman. She has four black and five red spirit rings."

Liu Mei brushed some dust off her clothes and stated, "Well, without further ado. Ladies and Gentlemen, follow me to Java Island."

She turned around and guided them into Java Island, receiving several bizarre gazes from the guest. However, Liu Mei didn't mind and told Giana to eliminate the blasted guy from Dragon Nest's guest list.

"Everything is according to the plan."
