Douluo Dalu: Huo Yuhao Knows the Plot

Chapter 158: The End of the Grand Competition

"You're awake. How did you sleep last night?" Huo Yuhao stopped cultivating after noticing Ye Lingling getting up.

"Big brother, when did you get back?" Ye Lingling ran barefoot to Huo Yuhao's side, smiling.

"I went to the auction house last night to buy something and came back a little late. Next time, if you're sleepy, go to bed early. You don't have to wait for me, okay?" As he spoke, Huo Yuhao gave the little girl a head pat. For some reason, he really liked doing this.

The little girl seemed to enjoy Huo Yuhao's touch as well, revealing a sweet smile, "Mmm, big brother, I know."

"You." Huo Yuhao knew that this girl hadn't listened, and smiled helplessly, "Come and see what I brought you."

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao took out the Mutual Heart Connection - Guardian Pink Chain. Differentiating them by color, Huo Yuhao named the one he wore the Purple Chain, and this one the Pink Chain, simple, clear, and easy to understand.

"Big brother, what is this? Is it for me?" As she spoke, Ye Lingling had already taken the Pink Chain. The bracelet felt slightly cool to the touch, with a delicate and smooth texture, and the thirteen gemstones shimmered with a beautiful pink-gold light.

"This is a storage soul tool, and it's a pair with the one on my hand, named Mutual Heart Connection - Guardian. It has thirty cubic meters of storage space inside, and as long as I'm nearby, after you inject soul power into it, you can use it to transmit sound to me. The effective distance is about twenty-three kilometers."

Huo Yuhao shook the Purple Chain on his left hand, "I named this one the Purple Chain. Let's call your one the Pink Chain, what do you think?"

Ye Lingling didn't care what Huo Yuhao named it. At this moment, Ye Lingling remembered two years ago when she awakened the Nine Hearted Hibiscus martial soul, just like her mother. That night, her mother told her a lot. From that night, she understood that as a successor of the Nine Hearted Hibiscus, a support-type soul master, her future partner could only be a battle-type soul master. Her mother told her to keep her distance from male support-type soul masters and stated frankly that the family would choose a husband for her.

She didn't like this martial soul. It was this martial soul, it was because of that curse that no more than two Nine Hearted Hibiscus soul masters could exist at the same time, that her grandfather left her not long after she was born.

It was also because of this martial soul that she couldn't choose her own partner. In the future, she would have to be with someone she didn't like, just to pass on the lineage and continue the legacy of this damned number one support-type martial soul on the continent, and then continue to bring disaster to future generations.

She wanted to change, but hadn't so many people throughout the generations of Nine Hearted Hibiscus thought about changing? So a stubborn idea appeared in her mind: she wanted to make this hateful martial soul disappear from the world. Her father was old, and in a few years, she would be the only Nine Hearted Hibiscus martial soul left. As long as she didn't marry and didn't give birth to offspring, then this martial soul would naturally not be passed down.

But things quickly took a turn for the better. That day, the young man beside her killed the two traffickers and saved her.

That day, the young man was cold, cruel, and didn't blink an eye when he killed people. Her mother once told a story in which a girl was in crisis, and finally her prince came riding on colorful auspicious clouds. The girl fell in love with him at first sight, and the prince loved her as his life. The two got married and lived a happy life.

For Ye Lingling, Huo Yuhao was her prince. From that day on, she unreservedly fell in love with the young man beside her. He was happy, and she would be happy with him. He was sad, and she would be worried with him.

Perhaps this sounds ridiculous. How could a child less than nine years old understand what love is? Yes, Ye Lingling knew that she didn't understand, and also knew that her love for the young man beside her was mixed with other things, such as gratitude, but she was even more clear that she wanted to be with the young man, and she would be very satisfied.

Today, Huo Yuhao's family came and brought him a fiancée. At that time, Ye Lingling felt a pain in her heart that made it impossible to breathe, but this also made her realize her feelings for the person beside her.

Fortunately, her martial soul was special and could help Huo Yuhao, and the latter didn't dislike her, so she was now almost the closest person to Huo Yuhao.

Because of this, Ye Lingling's impression of her martial soul has changed a lot. If it weren't for the unreasonable healing effect of the Nine Hearted Hibiscus, with her talent, she probably wouldn't even have the qualifications to get close to Huo Yuhao.

"Big brother, thank you." Ye Lingling looked up at the young man close at hand, and her eyes revealed a strong love. As she looked, Ye Lingling couldn't help but lean forward.

Seeing the little girl's actions, Huo Yuhao not only didn't dodge, but approached Ye Lingling before she could, pulled the little girl into his arms, and kissed the little girl's forehead.

"Alright, Lingling, you're still young. Let's talk about these things in two years. I'll wait for you to grow up." After saying that, Huo Yuhao habitually patted the little girl's head.

Huo Yuhao wasn't the protagonist in those novels. The girl had already made it so obvious, and the protagonist clearly liked her too, but he just wouldn't say it. What do you mean, I don't know? I can't see it? Come on, you work harder, and maybe I'll agree. Fortunately, they are the protagonists, and they have great luck, but if someone else pretended like this, they would have cooled off long ago, and there would be no place to cry.

Ye Lingling liked him, and he also had a very good impression of Ye Lingling. Therefore, he would confirm the relationship. He didn't want the girl to chase after him and lick his boots like those stupid protagonists. Huo Yuhao felt that as long as they liked each other, the two should be equal and run towards each other, instead of one side paying and licking boots.

It's just that the little girl is still too young. He'll book her in advance and take her in after raising her to be fair and chubby in a few years.

Next, Huo Yuhao didn't do anything intimate. On the one hand, Ye Lingling was still too young, and on the other hand, the series of events that happened yesterday made him feel bad.

… …

"I announce that the final of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Competition has come to an end. The winning team is the Body Sect Academy from the Heaven Dou Empire." As Huang Jinxu announced the results of the competition, warm cheers and shouts rang out from the audience.

"We lost, but not to them, but to you, Huo Yuhao." Ma Rulong's body was slightly unstable, and his bloody right arm was already dislocated, hanging to one side, causing his face to turn pale. Today's battle made him understand that only by truly fighting this legendary genius can one know how terrifying he is.
