Making Hu Liena Do the Laundry

Just as Chu Hao killed the last soul beast, the system prompt rang out in his mind.

He had not expected that two hours of slaughter would not only raise his soul power by quite a bit, but also earn him a reward. It was truly a double blessing.

However, the soul power gained through slaughter was somewhat disappointing. Even with the half level of soul power rewarded by the system, he had only barely gone up by one level, bringing his soul power to rank thirty-eight.

That left Chu Hao somewhat troubled.

It seemed that slaughtering soul beasts with low cultivation ages really did not do much for him.

Otherwise, how long would he have to keep killing before he could raise his soul power to rank forty? It was far too slow.

He had to find stronger soul beasts, or simply obtain soul rings for his second martial soul. That would be faster.

After making up his mind, Chu Hao followed the dense trail of soul beast corpses back the way he had come, wondering how Hu Liena and the other two were doing.

"It's, it's finally over."

Hu Liena and the other two watched the fleeing soul beasts and knew that two hours had passed. They completely let out a breath of relief and collapsed onto the ground.

At this moment, they were covered in blood from head to toe.

Around the three of them, however, there were only a few dozen hundred-year soul beasts and a few thousand-year soul beasts piled up.

There was no helping it. They did not have Chu Hao's ability.

Because they had been focused solely on survival before, they had not paid any attention to Chu Hao's side.

When the three of them began searching for traces of Chu Hao, they froze in place.

Because before their eyes, there were only densely packed soul beast corpses and the soul rings that had emerged after the soul beasts' deaths.

Calling it a mountain of corpses was no exaggeration at all. It utterly stunned the three of them.

If before, they had chosen to submit because they had been coerced by Chu Hao, Then now, they had been completely conquered by Chu Hao's strength.

Just as Du Feng had said before, if Chu Hao wanted to kill them, it would be far too easy.

At most, it would only take one sword strike.

This was the gap between them and Chu Hao.

An uncrossable chasm.

"Mm, not bad. For you to hold on for two hours can already be considered a decent result."

Just as the three of them were standing there in shock, a loud clapping sound rang out.

Du Feng walked over with a smile on his face, clapping his hands to show his approval of them.

He had originally thought that the three of them would at most be able to last one hour.

He had not expected them to actually endure until the end. It truly exceeded his expectations.

"S-senior, were all of these really killed by Chu Hao alone?"

Yan slowly came back to his senses and asked timidly.

"He killed them alone," Du Feng replied.

Hiss...

When Hu Liena and the other two heard this, they sucked in a breath of cold air.

Heavens!

It really was true.

How on earth had he done it?

This was too monstrous!

"S-senior, where is Xiao Hao?"

Hu Liena forcibly endured her pain and slowly got to her feet, making herself remain standing.

Although she was very tired right now, and her body was injured as well, she badly wanted to rest.

But Chu Hao's terrifying battle record left her with no face to rest.

At the same time, Xie Yue and Yan also got to their feet one after another, determination visible in their eyes.

Clearly, Chu Hao's formidable strength had become a source of motivation for the three of them.

If they rested now, then the distance between them and Chu Hao would only grow even greater.

"He's just up ahead. Come with me."

Du Feng looked at the three of them, who had barely managed to stand up, and nodded in great satisfaction before walking ahead to lead the way.

At this moment, the three of them's performance had truly earned his approval.

As expected of the strongest young generation of Martial Soul Hall. As expected of the people Chu Hao had taken an interest in. Their wills were indeed not simple, and they had the potential to become peerless experts.

With them in Martial Soul Hall, it would only become more and more glorious.

But before they had taken more than a few steps, Chu Hao returned.

When they saw the look in Chu Hao's eyes, their whole bodies trembled, and fear welled up uncontrollably from the depths of their hearts.

Bloodthirsty, icy, merciless, mad!

Even Du Feng, who was used to slaughter, was startled.

"Elder Du, is there a river nearby?" Chu Hao asked in a low voice.

"Yes. It's just ten li away," Du Feng replied.

"Lead the way!" Chu Hao said coldly.

"All right!"

Du Feng nodded, then turned and led the way.

"You three, keep up. Don't drag us down."

Chu Hao glanced at the somewhat weak Hu Liena and the others, then followed closely behind Du Feng.

Judging by his light, nimble movements, he did not seem to have been affected much by the battle just now. His stamina and soul power were still abundant.

Seeing this, the words "freak" surfaced in the depths of Hu Liena and the others' minds at the same time. Then, limping, they followed.

Out of consideration for Hu Liena and the others' condition, Du Feng deliberately slowed down.

A journey that should have taken a dozen minutes ended up taking nearly an hour.

By now, the sky was almost dark.

On Douluo Continent, night was always when soul beasts were most active.

"Elder Du, go prepare some firewood, and catch a few wild rabbits on the way."

Chu Hao glanced at the clear river, gave the order, and without even taking off his clothes, jumped straight in.

The moment he entered the water, the surrounding stream was dyed red.

It was clear just how thickly he had been covered in blood.

Because the river they were at now was neither large nor deep, there was naturally no chance of any so-called large, dangerous soul beasts being present.

"Brother, you two wash first. I'll wash later."

Hu Liena glanced at Chu Hao, who was letting the stream wash over him, and bit her lip with some difficulty.

After all, the river was not big, and the sky had not completely darkened.

As a woman, it would definitely be inconvenient to wash together.

Yet she did not dare go too far away.

If she ran into a soul beast, in her current state, there would only be one path for her—death.

Left with no choice, she could only endure it for now.

"All right. Wait a little."

Xie Yue nodded, then jumped into the river with Yan.

Hu Liena tactfully turned around as well.

And so that Hu Liena could bathe as soon as possible, Xie Yue and Yan took off their bloodstained robes underwater, washed them clean, scrubbed themselves a couple of times, then put the robes back on and jumped up to the bank.

Because they had not known the purpose of coming here beforehand, they had not brought any changes of clothes.

They could only make do for now.

"Nana, we're done. It's your turn."

Yan smoothed out his robe a little, then ran over with a grin.

"Is Little Hao done washing?" Hu Liena asked.

"Uh, not yet. But judging by his progress, he'll probably need a bit more time. Why don't you go farther off to wash?"

Yan glanced at Chu Hao and saw that he was still standing there, doing who knew what, and was utterly speechless.

Wasn't this just occupying the latrine without taking a shit?

Hu Liena looked at the gradually darkening sky and replied a little aggrievedly, "I'll wait a bit longer."

Just like that, Hu Liena stood on the bank and waited. By the time Du Feng returned carrying firewood and dragging several wild rabbits, Chu Hao still showed no sign of finishing.

"Which of you knows how to roast rabbit?"

Du Feng glanced at Hu Liena and Chu Hao in the stream, then shook his head helplessly.

As for Chu Hao's current behavior, he could not really say anything, so he could only shift the matter to the rabbits.

There was no helping it. He did not know how to cook.

Hearing Du Feng's question, Xie Yue and Yan shook their heads, then shifted their gazes to Hu Liena.

Seeing this, Hu Liena said, "Don't look at me. I don't know either. But Little Hao's cooking is good."

Hearing that, Du Feng looked at Chu Hao and said helplessly, "Then we'll wait."

Just then, Chu Hao's voice drifted over.

"Get the fire started first; I'll be up in a moment to handle the rest."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Hao stripped off his robe, rinsed his body briefly, and then, clutching the still-unwashed garment, walked up the bank in nothing but his underpants.

It seemed that the incident where Qian Renxue had pulled down his trousers had taught him a lesson.

"It's your turn to wash, and clean my clothes while you're at it."

Disregarding his image, Chu Hao tossed the robe directly at Hu Liena. Without waiting for her consent, he grabbed the wild rabbit Du Feng had brought and headed toward the river to clean it.
