Huo Yuhao, Kept by a Rich Woman

Inside Class One's classroom

Zhou Yi instructed:

"The assessment officially begins this afternoon!"

"I have only one piece of advice for you: whoever stands in your way of passing the assessment, defeat them without mercy!"

"Dismissed!"

After saying that, Zhou Yi picked up her materials and left.

Watching Zhou Yi's departing figure, Wang Dong could not help growing anxious.

"It's already the second day. Why hasn't Huo Yuhao come back yet?"

Xiao Xiao walked over and asked, "Wang Dong, where did Huo Yuhao go?"

"I don't know... I don't know either."

Wang Dong shook her head.

Xiao Xiao tapped her cherry lips with her index finger. "Could he have gone fishing?"

"Fishing?"

Wang Dong shot to her feet.

"I know where Huo Yuhao is. Come on, let's find him!"

By Sea God Lake

After searching along the lakeshore for a while, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao found Huo Yuhao fishing.

Huo Yuhao wore a floral shirt and shorts.

He lounged in a beach chair.

The eyepatch on his face was gone, replaced by a pair of rimless sunglasses.

His white hair cascaded down, and his features were impossibly handsome.

Beside him stood a peerless beauty dressed in red with red hair, holding a silk handkerchief in her left hand and grapes in her right.

She gently plucked a grape and fed it to Huo Yuhao.

Then she softly wiped Huo Yuhao's lips with the handkerchief.

She looked every bit like a maid.

"Huo Yuhao?"

Wang Dong called out uncertainly.

Huo Yuhao turned his head and lightly pulled down his sunglasses with one finger, revealing Six Eyes as blue as a starry river.

"Hi!"

That peerless face instantly made Wang Dong's cheeks flush crimson, and her heart began racing uncontrollably.

Xiao Xiao beside her was even more dramatic, turning directly into a steaming maiden.

Her head was practically smoking.

"Yuhao... Yuhao... Brother Yuhao greeted me!!"

Xiao Xiao's face was bright red, steam rising from her head as she spoke incoherently.

She looked just like Hinata when she encountered Naruto.

Huo Yuhao turned back and continued fishing. "What are you two here for?"

Wang Dong said shyly, "Um... Huo Yuhao, we came to discuss tactics with you?"

The steaming Xiao Xiao nodded. "Mm..."

Huo Yuhao waved his hand. "Can't you see I'm fishing?"

"I'm busy."

Wang Dong's tone hardened slightly. "Do you still want the Soul-Raising Pills or not?"

Huo Yuhao stroked his chin, putting on a thoughtful expression.

Ma Xiaotao smiled beside him. "They're just Soul-Raising Pills. Yuhao, how many do you want? I'll give them to you."

Huo Yuhao spread his hands helplessly. "See? I'm being kept by a rich woman."

"Ma Xiaotao!! What exactly is going on between you two?"

Wang Dong stared at Ma Xiaotao with open hostility.

Ma Xiaotao lifted her chin and puffed out her chest, looking down at Wang Dong.

"It's nothing. Yuhao guides me in 'combat,' and I give him a few rewards. That's all."

Their eyes met, and the situation instantly turned into a Shura field.

Xiao Xiao stood at the side, utterly at a loss. Innocent as she was, she did not know what was happening.

But she had a strong feeling it was dangerous.

Huo Yuhao stood and interrupted them. "All right, Xiaotao, you should head back first."

"I promised Teacher Zhou I'd take part in the assessment. I can't go back on my word."

Ma Xiaotao said reluctantly, "I'll come find you tonight. You can coach me in combat some more, okay?"

Huo Yuhao made an OK gesture. "No problem, but you have to wear a special combat uniform."

A special combat uniform?

Those combat uniforms that could stack buffs on Huo Yuhao—bunny girls, police officers, and so on.

A rosy blush spread across Ma Xiaotao's jade-white cheeks as she lightly smacked Huo Yuhao. "You're so bad."

With that, she left, looking back every few steps.

Wang Dong leaned closer. "Something's wrong. There's definitely something wrong. You two have a huge problem!"

Wang Dong knew nothing about love.

But she knew there was definitely something going on between those two.

Huo Yuhao smiled calmly. "What problem? You're overthinking it. We're merely pure comrades, with Mutual Appreciation for each other."

"All right, weren't we supposed to discuss tactics?"

"Then let's go."

Wang Dong stopped Huo Yuhao. "No! Explain it to me properly..."

Huo Yuhao pulled down his sunglasses and leaned close to Wang Dong's face. "Hm?"

"Ahhhhhhh!"

Wang Dong's heart fluttered wildly, and her face instantly turned red.

Mimicry Forest

The three of them arrived there.

Xiao Xiao said shyly, "Brother Yuhao, can you take off your eyepatch?"

Wang Dong immediately shielded Huo Yuhao, who had put his eyepatch back on, behind her. "Xiao Xiao! What are you trying to do? You're still a student, so focus on your studies!"

Xiao Xiao snapped angrily, "Wang Dong, I want you to stay single!"

"Brother Yuhao hasn't even said anything, yet you're making such a fuss. What a turn-off!"

Wang Dong was so furious she nearly started fighting Xiao Xiao.

After being out for so long, this was the first time anyone had called her a turn-off.

Huo Yuhao played peacemaker. "All right, all right, stop arguing."

"Okay, Brother Yuhao~"

Facing Huo Yuhao, Xiao Xiao once again became gentle and sweet.

Wang Dong gritted her teeth at the sight.

"Ma Xiaotao just left, and now Xiao Xiao's here!"

"Huo Yuhao, can't you tone down your charm a little?"

Huo Yuhao: Is it my fault for being handsome? Wouldn't that make me guilty beyond redemption?

Xiao Xiao smiled. "The assessment is this afternoon."

"Let's study some tactics together!"

Wang Dong said confidently, "What's there to study? I'll just fight our way through, and that'll be enough!"

Huo Yuhao agreed. "That's right. Wang Dong alone will be enough. The two of us can just stand by and cheer her on."

Wang Dong glared at Huo Yuhao, her puffed-up expression seeming to say, I was just showing off. Hey! What are you doing?!

Xiao Xiao said seriously, "It won't be that easy. Every class has an elite team made up of its strongest students."

"They're all aiming for the championship!"

"We'll only have a chance if we work together with perfect coordination!"

Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao remained unmoved. After all, both of them were quite confident.

Wang Dong was brimming with confidence.

As for Huo Yuhao, he was invincible.

Wang Dong suddenly grinned mischievously. "A practice match would be more meaningful! Xiao Xiao and I against you, two versus one!"

Xiao Xiao shook her head. "The two of us fighting Brother Yuhao alone? He definitely can't handle that."

In Xiao Xiao's memory, Huo Yuhao's Soul Power Level was only eleven.

His Soul Skill was also a support type. How could he possibly beat a Strength Attack System and Control System combination?

Wang Dong smiled. "Don't worry. This guy isn't nearly as weak as you think."

"Go all out. If anything happens, it's on me."

Xiao Xiao looked conflicted.

Huo Yuhao said calmly, "No problem. As long as you can touch me, you win."

"If you lose, I'll treat you to Grilled Fish."

"Five! Five fish each!"

Wang Dong said excitedly.

She could get Grilled Fish without having to call him Daddy. She could not let this chance slip away.

"Really?"

"I've wanted to try Brother Yuhao's Grilled Fish for ages, but I could never get in line."

Although she had never tasted it, Xiao Xiao's disappointing tears still flowed from the corner of her mouth.

Huo Yuhao spread his hands and smiled. "No problem. As long as you hit me, forget five Grilled Fish—even ten each would be fine!"

At those words, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao's eyes filled with fighting spirit.

"For Grilled Fish! Let's go!"
