Chapter 5: Enduring Humiliation? This Was the Real Parallel Yuhao!
At this moment, on the screen.
The lavishly dressed Duchess sat on a wooden chair with her legs crossed.
Before her, Huo Yun'er had fallen to the ground and was being relentlessly punched and kicked by a group of servants.
Among those servants was a child, who was likewise following them in continuously striking Huo Yun'er.
After the vicious beating, Huo Yun'er was covered in injuries.
Only then did the Duchess on the wooden chair smile with satisfaction.
"Alright, everyone, stop. Our Duke's Mansion is still humanitarian."
"Although Huo Yun'er made a mistake and must be punished, don't hit her too hard. Beating her half to death is enough; don't actually beat her to death. That would be going too far. We'll stop here!"
At the Duchess's command, the servants all stopped.
Yet Huo Yuhao in front of her continued to curse. He kept kicking Huo Yun'er while shouting.
"You can't even handle something this trivial! Useless! Having a mother like you is a disgrace to me!"
"If you hadn't seduced Father, how could I have ended up like this? Luckily, the Duchess is magnanimous enough not to hold my birth against me."
"But you keep causing trouble for me. I'll beat you to death! Beat you to death!"
Huo Yuhao continued punching and kicking Huo Yun'er.
The Duchess behind him found the sight more and more satisfying!
She laughed. "Alright, alright, Xiao Hao. She is your mother, after all. Don't be too heavy-handed."
Huo Yuhao replied, "No, Duchess. I have no mother. She is nothing but a bitch! She broke your things, so she deserves to be beaten!"
The Duchess smiled and beckoned Huo Yuhao over, signaling for him to approach.
Huo Yuhao obediently walked over. The Duchess stroked his hair with a smile, her gaze at Huo Yun'er full of provocation.
The Duchess said to Huo Yuhao again, "Good child, I understand your intentions. But it's better not to cause a death."
"How about this? Take her back so she can rest. I won't pursue this matter any further."
Huo Yuhao smiled gently. "The Duchess is magnanimous."
Then he turned to Huo Yun'er at the side. "Why aren't you thanking the Duchess?"
Huo Yun'er could only respectfully thank the Duchess.
The Duchess laughed even more gleefully. What she loved most was this sort of mother-and-son conflict. Having watched it all today, she was thoroughly satisfied and left happily.
Huo Yuhao walked directly over to Huo Yun'er and gave her a look. "What are you waiting for? Get moving."
She immediately climbed up from the ground and followed behind Huo Yuhao.
The two began heading toward Huo Yun'er's room.
Because it was quite far away, they had to walk for a long while.
Neither of them said a word along the way.
Thus, the people outside the screen could not help but begin discussing it.
Xiao Xiao: "Oh my god! Is this still Yuhao? How could Yuhao from the parallel world treat his mother like this?"
Wang Qiu'er: "Perhaps there's some hidden reason behind this? I believe Yuhao wouldn't do something like this."
Wang Dong'er: "I believe in Yuhao too."
Huo Yuhao: "What exactly is Parallel World Me trying to do? No matter the reason, he shouldn't have hit Mother."
Duchess: "This Huo Yuhao is much more sensible. If he had been this obedient back then, I wouldn't have abused him."
Wang Dong'er: "Shut up, you vicious old hag!"
Duchess: "Who are you calling that, you brat?"
Wang Dong'er: "I'm talking about you!"
Duchess: "You ill-bred thing, are you an orphan or something?"
Tang San immediately frowned slightly as a surge of Divine Power began to rise from his body.
Meanwhile, the Duchess suddenly sensed a feeling of danger and instinctively stopped typing.
At this time, the gods also began to discuss the matter.
Xiao Wu: "This Huo Yuhao from the parallel world really is different. But that isn't a good thing—his spine seems even weaker. He has yielded beneath the Duchess's tyranny."
Bibi Dong: "You're as shallow as ever, Xiao Wu."
Tang San: "Bibi Dong, don't think I wouldn't dare touch you."
Bibi Dong: "If you've got the guts, then make a move. I won't even dodge."
Tang San: "You have chosen the path to death!"
Xiao Wu: "The facts are right there. This Huo Yuhao from the parallel world is simply pathetic! He's a spineless coward who could even lay hands on his own mother to save himself! What is there left to explain?"
Bibi Dong: "That's why I said you're an idiot. Take a good look at what Huo Yuhao is doing on the screen."
After saying that, she specifically tagged Ning Rongrong.
Bibi Dong @Ning Rongrong: "Little Princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, didn't you say before that Huo Yuhao had no way to turn things around in a situation like this? Take a look at how Parallel World Huo Yuhao did it!"
Everyone continued watching the screen.
Meanwhile, inside the screen.
Huo Yuhao was already close to taking Huo Yun'er back to their room.
Along the way, the two of them ran into one of the servants who had beaten Huo Yun'er earlier.
The servant was carrying a large pile of clothes, preparing to hang them out to dry.
Without a word, Huo Yuhao rammed straight into her, knocking her to the ground.
After being knocked down, the servant was furious at first. But once she realized it was Huo Yuhao, her face quickly took on a fawning expression. "Oh, it's you, Young Master."
Huo Yuhao kicked her in the face and snorted coldly.
"You blind fool. Get lost!"
The servant could only flee in disgrace.
Afterward, Huo Yun'er continued leading Huo Yuhao forward, and they finally returned to their room.
He shut the door tightly, carefully making sure there was no one outside, then immediately helped Huo Yun'er onto the bed.
His previous arrogant and overbearing demeanor vanished, and he looked at Huo Yun'er with a face full of remorse.
"Mother, your son has failed you. I've made you suffer."
Huo Yun'er shook her head.
"Child, there's no need to apologize. I understand everything you've done."
Before she could speak again, Huo Yuhao took out a medicinal pill and placed it in Huo Yun'er's mouth.
The moment the pill entered her mouth, Huo Yun'er felt a powerful medicinal effect. Her previous injuries instantly healed, and even her complexion became much rosier.
Huo Yun'er asked in surprise, "Child, where did you get this pill?"
Huo Yuhao smiled lightly. "I secretly traded my reward money for it with the manager at the apothecary."
Huo Yun'er's eyes reddened. Naturally, she could imagine how expensive such a pill was, and how much effort Huo Yuhao had needed to put in to earn that reward money. She immediately began to sob. "Child, you've suffered so much."
Huo Yuhao stroked Huo Yun'er's hair. "Mother, get some rest. Give your son a little more time. I'll make everyone in the Duke's Mansion pay the price. Then I'll take you away from the Duke's Mansion."
As he spoke, Huo Yuhao took out a loaf of bread and handed it to her. Before Huo Yun'er could reply, he turned and left. Yet not long after stepping out of the room, a rumbling sound of hunger suddenly echoed out.
