Chapter 2: BEAR?
The explosion of the explosive always leaves behind some debris.
When everyone discovered that the explosive used to bomb the White Tiger Duke's residence was actually produced by Shrek Academy, wouldn't that be quite the spectacle?
A glimmer of light flashed in Huahuo's eyes, and a faint smile curled at the corners of her mouth.
She had witnessed Huo Yuhao's experiences over the years and understood why he was doing this.
The White Tiger Duke's residence was a place devoid of any humanity.
With Huo Yuhao's current strength, destroying the White Tiger Duke's residence would be effortless, but he chose not to.
Instead, he sought joy in the process of revenge.
"Alright, I'll help you with this one!" Huahuo said with a smile.
"Let's go to Shrek Academy to get the soul-guided explosive now!"
Huo Yuhao: "..."
I know you're eager, but please hold on for a moment.
Stealing the soul-guided cannonball is easy, but the process is what truly matters.
Aeon of Elation patiently waited for a year and a half, seizing the perfect moment when the Trailblaze let its guard down to destroy the train in a single strike.
As an Emanator of the Aeon of Elation, Huo Yuhao needed to possess such patience!
Just as Huo Yuhao was about to say something, the sound of two sets of footsteps interrupted his thoughts.
If Huo Yuhao wasn't mistaken, the newcomers were Tang Ya and Bei Bei, whom he had met before.
Huo Yuhao and Huahuo exchanged a glance, with the latter pouting slightly, showing a hint of annoyance.
She and Huo Yuhao were in the middle of discussing the cannonball matter, and now these two uninvited guests had shown up!
"Little Yuhao, it really is you!"
From about twenty or thirty meters away, Tang Ya's voice rang out, filled with excitement as she ran towards Huo Yuhao.
Beside her, Bei Bei shook his head helplessly, sighed, and followed Tang Ya's pace.
As they got closer, the two of them were slightly taken aback.
They hadn't expected that in such a short time apart, this little brother Yuhao had already made a new "friend."
"Greetings Brother Bei Bei, Sister Tang Ya."
Huo Yuhao didn't show any unusual behavior.
The fact that these two could find him so accurately was likely due to the guidance of a certain someone.
"Hmph... that certain someone!" Huo Yuhao sneered inwardly.
That certain someone, who enjoys guiding others, right?
One day, Huo Yuhao would split Xiao Wu in two and make that certain someone experience the same thing!
That would surely be quite amusing!
Tang Ya and Bei Bei didn't notice anything unusual about Huo Yuhao, but they did feel that this "little brother" seemed slightly different from before.
The previous Huo Yuhao, though he didn't show it, seemed to carry a hint of inferiority, masking it with a facade of calmness.
But the current Huo Yuhao exuded a sense of confidence, something indescribable.
"Little Brother Huo, who is this?"
Bei Bei asked with a hint of caution, looking at Huahuo.
His instincts told him that this woman was not simple, she was very dangerous.
Before Huo Yuhao could say anything, Huahuo grabbed his right arm, naturally linking arms with him, and said with a smile, "I'm Yuhao's wife, the most beautiful, lovely, and kind Huahuo in the universe!"
Hearing this, Bei Bei and Tang Ya's eyes twitched slightly.
They exchanged a glance and looked at Huo Yuhao and Huahuo with a strange expression.
These two "youngsters" were actually showing off their affection in front of them?
And also, did this girl have some sort of chuunibyou syndrome?
She was exceptionally beautiful, and her style had a certain chaotic charm, but her words... were they a bit too confident?
There are countless beauties in the world, and half of them reside in the Douluo Continent.
In a world filled with stunning women, how could she dare to claim to be the most...?
Huo Yuhao's eyes twitched, his mouth slightly agape as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.
Being held by Huahuo, the sensation of her flat chest didn't provide much tactile feedback, but it was still oddly intriguing.
Wife?
Hah, was this girl just using him for her own amusement?
The prejudices in people's hearts...
Well, this was exactly the kind of thing Huahuo would do.
In the original timeline, he would have been the one being shown up, but now, the roles were reversed?
"Haha..."
Tang Ya laughed awkwardly.
She had originally wanted to ask Huo Yuhao if he had any family, but she hadn't expected him to already have a wife...
At his age, how could he possibly have a wife?
He was only eleven years old, still a child!
"Greetings Huahuo, I'm Tang Ya."
"Bei Bei."
Bei Bei chimed in from the side.
"We were worried that Yuhao might be in danger, so we came to check on him. We mean no harm."
Tang Ya spoke honestly, completely glossing over the matter of the grilled fish.
She had originally wanted to recruit a cook...
Hearing this, Huahuo's eyes sparked, and she immediately began to tremble, putting on a look of "fear."
"Yuhao and I did encounter some danger earlier," she said pitifully.
"Look at this Wind Baboon. If it weren't for Yuhao's quick thinking, we might have both ended up in the underworld."
Huahuo's act of being weak, pitiful, and helpless left Huo Yuhao utterly stunned.
What was this troublemaker planning?
In Huo Yuhao's consciousness, Tianmeng and Elder Yi were the ones trembling in fear.
This girl was talking about encountering danger?
Don't joke around!
You're the biggest danger here!
Bei Bei crossed his arms, stroked his chin, and looked thoughtfully at the Wind Baboon on the ground.
It was a ten-year Wind Baboon. Judging from the traces at the scene, there had been a life-and-death struggle, and it had been killed with a single decisive strike.
"Huahuo isn't lying..."
Bei Bei nodded to himself, completely dismissing any potential threat from the two of them.
As a Soul Elder with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon as his martial soul, weaklings like Huo Yuhao and Huahuo posed no threat to him.
"The Star Dou Forest is extremely dangerous. You should stay with us, and we'll leave together."
"That way, you'll be safer."
Out of goodwill, Bei Bei kindly suggested.
He had a vague feeling that this Huo Yuhao was not simple, though he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
Subconsciously, he wanted to get to know him better.
Leaving a good impression couldn't hurt.
"Really? Can you really protect me and my husband Yuhao?"
"Big brother, are you sure you can handle it?"
Huahuo asked with a serious expression.
Bei Bei's eyes twitched.
He couldn't help but feel that Huahuo's words carried a certain double meaning, though he couldn't quite pinpoint it.
In front of Tang Ya, as a man, how could he say he wasn't capable?
"Of course I can handle it! No matter what danger we face, if anyone wants to harm you, they'll have to step over my dead body first!"
When Bei Bei said this, his gaze was fixed on Tang Ya, his expression was serious.
Huo Yuhao and Huahuo: "..."
Be careful, or that "certain someone" might come asking for compensation!
"That's wonderful!" Huahuo said with a smile, pointing in a certain direction.
"Big brother Bei Bei, danger's coming!"
Bei Bei and Tang Ya: "???"
What's going on?
What danger?
Huahuo didn't say anything more, pulling Huo Yuhao behind the two of them, her eyes filled with mischief.
Huo Yuhao remained silent, a look of "fear" on his face.
Only after retreating behind them did his expression return to normal.
"A mere thousand-year Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear... surely Big Brother Bei can handle it, right?"
