Douluo: Starting by Taking Control of the Holy Ghost Cult's Saintess

"Fatty, haven't you eaten enough?"

At that moment, an annoyed voice sounded. Wang Dong's group of three turned their heads and only then discovered a boy and a girl blocked by the meatball's figure.

It was none other than Huo Yuhao and Cui Yejie.

Xie Huanyue had finally woken up the previous evening. The teacher from the academy's healing department had told Huo Yuhao and the other that Xie Huanyue needed to consume a large amount of meat rich in life essence to replenish his lost life energy.

Thus, after the assessment on the second day, Team Shi-Hi-Kai had brought him to the barbecue stalls here at the East Gate.

Although Huo Yuhao could also let Xie Huanyue recover his life energy by hugging him like Ning Tian and the other two girls, he, a grown man, couldn't possibly be hugged by or lie in the same bed with another grown man to cultivate. That was too... you know.

Huo Yuhao and Cui Yejie were also hungry and had also picked up a skewer of barbecue to eat, but Huo Yuhao had quickly spat it out.

"Pah, it's not fresh!" Huo Yuhao was speechless. He didn't expect that the merchants of this era would also be fraudulent. Especially after seeing that Xie Huanyue's complexion wasn't much better than when he had just woken up, he directly suggested they might as well go to the outer periphery of the Star Dou Great Forest to catch some soul beasts to eat.

"Life Return!" Xie Huanyue roared, and his entire person shrank back from the shape of a giant meatball to his original form, which made the eyes of all the stall vendors drop to the ground.

"Let's go. The food here is okay for filling the stomach, but it's hard to say if it can restore your life force," Huo Yuhao said, tossing a bag of gold soul coins to the stall vendor.

Xie Huanyue nodded. He had been hungry for a whole day. What he had just eaten was at most fifty percent full.

At the side, Cui Yejie's face twitched as she hid on Huo Yuhao's other side. "You fatty, you can eat too much. I really don't know which girl would be willing to marry you in the future!"

Xie Huanyue laughed loudly, not minding it at all. He was different from Huo Yuhao and didn't care about matters between men and women at all.

Watching the group walk towards the Star Dou Great Forest, the three in the corner, Wang Dong and the others, exchanged a glance and decided to follow them to scout out the enemy.

If Xie Huanyue could return in tomorrow's assessment, it would undoubtedly be terrible news for all the teams. One-on-one, no one in Wang Dong's team was confident in facing the power-attack type Soul Ancestor, Xie Huanyue.

With Huo Yuhao's spiritual perception, how could he not discover Wang Dong's group? He couldn't avoid this ancestor fast enough. He immediately pulled Cui Yejie and the other and ran.

"After them!" Wang Dong said, and the three of them set off in pursuit.

Soon, the two teams of six people, one after the other, arrived at the outer periphery of the Star Dou Great Forest. Through the spiritual sharing, Xie Huanyue and Cui Yejie also discovered Wang Dong's group. Seeing that Huo Yuhao intended to shake them off, they didn't understand the reason for a moment.

Wang Dong possessed the flying-type Radiant Butterfly Goddess martial soul. Carrying the petite Xiao Xiao was not slow. And Cao Jinxuan, because of his symbiotic body-type martial soul, Stand, also had a strong physique and was fully able to keep up.

Unless he used his third soul skill, Huo Yuhao wouldn't be able to shake off these three sticky candies for a while.

Just at this moment, Huo Yuhao seemed to sense something. He activated his simulation soul skill and quickly hid behind a large tree with Xie Huanyue and Cui Yejie.

"Huh?" Seeing Xie Huanyue's group suddenly lose their tracks, Wang Dong couldn't help but let out a surprised sound. "How did they suddenly disappear?"

"That Huo Yuhao should also have twin martial souls. He has a soul skill that can conceal and disguise," Cao Jinxuan, as the team's think tank, had long since bribed some students from Class Nine to inquire about Huo Yuhao and Cui Yejie's situation. Better safe than sorry. Even if Xie Huanyue wasn't there, he didn't dare to underestimate this so-called ace team of Class Nine.

"Could it be that he discovered us?" Xiao Xiao asked with worry.

"I'm not sure about that. It's said that his spiritual power is very strong. Huh? Someone's there?" Wang Dong didn't know much about the Huo Yuhao of this life, only having heard of his bad reputation as the number one sea king of the new students. Then, as if discovering something, he hurriedly reminded them.

A black lightning bolt was seen shooting out from the Star Dou Great Forest, transforming into a black-haired girl who stumbled and landed on the ground, her face pale, panting heavily.

"It's Zhu Lu from Dai Huabin's team!" Cao Jinxuan recognized the girl's identity at a glance.

Zhu Lu had sprinted all the way to escape from the forest alone safely. Her luck today was not good. After Dai Huabin and Pei Jue went deep into Star Dou to chase that Dark-Devil God Tiger, she, who had left alone, had unluckily encountered a pack of Swift Wind Wolves. The wolf pack was also skilled in speed. Outnumbered, she had almost become a meal for the wolf pack.

"It seems Dai Huabin isn't by her side," Cao Jinxuan stared at Zhu Lu's alluring, devilish figure and couldn't help but lick his lips.

Zhu Lu, who had just emerged from the forest, immediately discovered Wang Dong's group of three not far away. The latter did not have Huo Yuhao's simulation soul skill. With Zhu Lu's keen observation as an agility-attack type soul master, she naturally discovered them with ease.

Seeing the familiar Shrek uniforms on Wang Dong's group, Zhu Lu's suspended heart finally relaxed.

Seeing Zhu Lu walking towards them, Cao Jinxuan from Wang Dong's group actually went up to meet her first.

"Yo, you must be Zhu Lu," Cao Jinxuan came to a stop in front of her, his voice frivolous yet extremely magnetic.

Zhu Lu sized up the tall and sturdy, handsome golden-haired classmate before her and took half a step back, mystified.

"I hear your relationship with Dai Huabin is quite good," Cao Jinxuan smiled. "I just find it strange. That guy is usually very gloomy, but in the assessment, he's exceptionally confident and ostentatious. It turns out it's because you've been supporting him by his side all along."

"You..." Zhu Lu instantly understood. The person before her probably had ill intentions. And right now, Dai Huabin was not by her side. She immediately circulated her soul power and prepared to flee.

The next moment, Cao Jinxuan's tall figure appeared in front of Zhu Lu without any warning, far exceeding the reaction speed of her, an agility-attack type soul master.

He grabbed Zhu Lu's arm with one hand like lightning, and his other hand firmly pressed down on her shoulder, pulling her into his arms. Immediately, he held her snow-white chin and pressed his lips against her delicate and luscious red ones.

Zhu Lu was shocked by the sudden forced kiss. Her beautiful eyes trembled wildly, full of disbelief.

Not only were Wang Dong and the other behind Cao Jinxuan stunned, but even Huo Yuhao's group of three, hidden at the side, was also stunned.

"He did... what even Young Master Huo wouldn't dare to do in public... He did it so easily!" Xie Huanyue stammered. "Truly inspiring, truly worthy of worship!"

Zhu Lu struggled desperately, her beautiful eyes filled with tears. She felt her lips being forcibly pried open by something, ravaging her mouth. Her pinched chin couldn't even bite down hard. She could only use her martial soul-possessed, sharp claws to frantically tear at Cao Jinxuan's back.

Feeling that he had achieved his goal, Cao Jinxuan pushed Zhu Lu to the ground and licked his lips smugly, as if savoring the grand meal from before.

"You, have you been kissed by that guy Dai Huabin before?" Cao Jinxuan looked down at the slumped Zhu Lu on the ground. At this time, his face, which was turned away from Wang Dong and the other, was filled with the smile of a successful conspiracy. "Probably not, right?"

"The object of your first kiss wasn't Binbin," Cao Jinxuan slowly raised a hand and pointed a thumb at himself. "It was me, Old Cao!"

Zhu Lu, lying on the ground, felt as if she had heard the cruelest declaration in the world. Her face instantly turned deathly pale.

"The means are not the problem. It's enough to leave behind the heart-devil of the established fact that I took her first kiss. This way, when she and Dai Huabin perform their martial soul fusion, she won't be able to fully commit," Cao Jinxuan didn't forget to transmit his explanation to Wang Dong and the other behind him.

"I will not let any peer like Dai Huabin step on my head!" This sentence was Cao Jinxuan's own obsession.

"How can this person be so despicable!" Cui Yejie had known Zhu Lu when she was in Class Five. Although the two girls had a bad relationship due to being rivals for Dai Huabin's affection, Cao Jinxuan's current behavior had already exceeded the limits of what she could tolerate.

Seeing that Cui Yejie was about to rush out and curse at him, Huo Yuhao quickly stretched out a hand to grab her arm, pulled her back to his side, and directly used Tsukuyomi on her.

In this one instant of Tsukuyomi, Huo Yuhao only let Cui Yejie see one scene. It was none other than the scene of the young Huo Yuhao being kicked by Dai Huabin, and then Huo Yun'er desperately protecting him. The scene didn't forget to show the Duchess and the Zhu family's Second Madam on a high balcony at the side, enjoying their afternoon tea and watching with great interest as Huo Yun'er was beaten half to death.

Huo Yuhao had no good feelings for the Zhu family either. The White Tiger Duke of this generation had also married a woman from the Zhu family who could perform the martial soul fusion skill. Her status was not much lower than the Duchess's. When she was in the Duke's Mansion, she had often suppressed Huo Yuhao and his mother to please the Duchess.

Of course, Huo Yuhao did not yet want anyone other than the few in his spiritual sea to know about his background, so what Cui Yejie saw was just the scene of them, mother and son, as servants, almost being beaten to death.

Cui Yejie was also the only person at present who had seen this scene from Huo Yuhao's Tsukuyomi.

So, it didn't matter how the Tang Buddha's daughter's team fought with the Duke's lineage. Huo Yuhao was even happy to see this situation.

"Yuhao, you..." Cui Yejie recovered from the world of Tsukuyomi and looked at him in disbelief, her beautiful eyes even welling up with crystal tears.

"What you saw is real," Huo Yuhao gave an affirmative reply with a blank expression.

Although Xie Huanyue at the side didn't know what Huo Yuhao had done to Cui Yejie, since Huo Yuhao didn't say, he wouldn't ask.

The triumphant Cao Jinxuan left with Wang Dong and the other girl, leaving only the slumped Zhu Lu on the ground.
