Love You, Mom

Huo Yuhao was a little stunned.

The first CP to appear in the original story.

Could it have vanished because of his butterfly effect?

"Ah, this butterfly effect is really a headache."

Huo Yuhao took out a lollipop and put it into his mouth.

The sweet taste of candy brought him a sense of happiness.

"Enough thinking. I should head to the dormitory first."

"After all, that old bastard Tang San is going to send his daughter to use a honey trap on me."

Huo Yuhao suddenly recalled a meme from his life before last.

He had finally endured long enough for the honey trap!

Yet Huo Yuhao was not particularly happy, because Tang San was far too despicable.

You thought a honey trap meant... hehehe.

But Tang San's honey trap involved planting a mark on his daughter under the pretense of protecting her.

Then tossing her in front of Huo Yuhao and dangling her before him like a bone.

He could only look, not eat.

If he dared to eat, Tang San would knock all his teeth out.

What protection? Calling it a chastity lock would have been more accurate.

Who was it meant to guard against? Was there even a need to ask?

Of course, it was to guard against Huo Yuhao, the Tang Clan's pet dog.

Thinking of the humiliated version of himself from the original story filled Huo Yuhao with rage.

"Huo Yuhao, Huo Yuhao... Heaven practically chased after you to spoon-feed you opportunities, yet you still got schemed into becoming Tang San's pet dog. What a..."

Huo Gua was not just an empty nickname.

Compared to Fishfork God King Tang San, Huo Yuhao left him completely in the dust when it came to cheats.

His first Soul Ring came from a Million-Year Soul Beast, and he had two old grandpas as cheat codes.

His second Soul Ring came from a Four-Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, along with a second Martial Soul with ultimate attributes and a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.

That kind of treatment practically made him Heaven's biological son.

Compared to him, Tang San seemed like the adopted one.

But what happened in the end?

Huo Yuhao was completely manipulated by Tang San and ultimately became the Tang Clan's pet dog.

He obeyed Tang San's every word.

Even after becoming a God King following the war of the Gods, he was still the Tang Clan's pet dog.

What the fuck.

Huo Yuhao really was an incapable fool. Heaven had truly fed the wrong person; it might as well have fed the food to a dog.

Even a dog could have ascended to the God Realm and beaten Tang San senseless.

"Unfortunately, I'm here now. Tang San, all your schemes will come to nothing."

Huo Yuhao smiled calmly.

Strength was the source of his confidence. With Huo Gua's fortune, the invincible Six Eyes, and heaven-defying jujutsu—

He was the strongest. He was invincible.

He feared no schemes or conspiracies.

"Hello, I'm a newly enrolled student. Here is my freshman badge!"

Huo Yuhao approached a white-bearded old man lying in the sun.

The white-bearded old man wore white robes, and a lifelike little yellow duck sat atop his head.

It was impossible to tell whether it was alive or merely decoration.

Yet the two somehow went together without the slightest incongruity.

The white-bearded old man raised an aged hand.

"Go on. Dormitory 108 is the third room on the left side of the first floor."

"Thank you."

Huo Yuhao smiled slightly to express his gratitude.

The white-bearded old man cracked his eyes open and watched Huo Yuhao's departing back.

"This child... I actually can't see through his cultivation level... I'm old. I really am old."

The white-bearded old man shook his head, closed his eyes, and continued enjoying his sunbath.

Entering the dormitory.

The Outer Academy dormitories of Shrek Academy were all double rooms.

The space was not large, around thirty to forty square meters.

There were two beds, two wardrobes, a desk, and a private bathroom.

Huo Yuhao drew back the curtains, allowing the sunlight outside to shine through the glass into the dormitory.

"How wonderful. The long-lost campus life is about to begin again."

Huo Yuhao rather missed the dormitories on Blue Star from his life before last.

Although more people shared a room there, they were also livelier.

Huo Yuhao raised his right hand and extended only his index finger.

"Jujutsu: Cleansing Orb!"

Blue Cursed Energy condensed into a blue sphere the size of a peanut.

"Go!"

With a light flick, the little sphere flew out.

The sphere reached the center of the dormitory and suddenly stopped.

Then it erupted with a powerful suction force.

It sucked up all the dust, trash, cobwebs... and other filth in the dormitory.

Once the cleaning was complete, the sphere vanished with a bang.

Seeing the clean and tidy dormitory, Huo Yuhao felt much more at ease.

"It's a little strange not having Fat Tiger by my side."

Shrek Academy allowed students to keep pets, but they could not bring them into the residence areas.

The academy had a special area for housing pets. Not only was the environment beautiful, but every pet had its own little house, with dedicated staff to bathe and feed them.

They lived more comfortably than people.

The only downside was that it cost money.

At the thought of money, Huo Yuhao hurriedly checked how much remained in the White Tiger Ring.

"Three Gold Soul Coins and one Silver Soul Coin. My god, that isn't even enough to cover a week's worth of sweets!"

The Gold Soul Coins his cheap father had left in the White Tiger Ring—

He had used almost all of them over the years.

If he had not earned two Gold Soul Coins selling Grilled Fish yesterday, he would have been on the verge of bankruptcy today.

Thinking about being unable to eat sweets a week from now—

Huo Yuhao felt as though the sky was about to collapse.

Sweets were his life!

"At worst, I'll make money selling Grilled Fish. I can't live without sweets!"

Huo Yuhao declared firmly.

He had great confidence in his cooking skills.

Huo Yuhao sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes, and entered his Spiritual World.

Spiritual World.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, who had been lying beside the gray sphere, leaped up excitedly upon seeing Huo Yuhao.

"Yuhao, you finally came!"

Huo Yuhao smiled. "It's only been one day. Did you miss me that much?"

"Miss you, my ass!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said irritably, "I've been bored to death in your Spiritual World."

"Seriously, why can't Brother Sky Dream use his spiritual power to create objects? Otherwise, I wouldn't be so bored."

Huo Yuhao smiled.

This was his spiritual space. It would be a miracle if Sky Dream Ice Silkworm could use his spiritual power here.

"Alright, try again now."

Huo Yuhao lifted the restrictions on Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

"Fine." Sky Dream Ice Silkworm nodded.

Bang!

A beach chair formed from spiritual power appeared out of thin air before them.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm lay down on it, and a red parasol appeared beside him out of nowhere.

Then a beach appeared, followed by an ocean and the sun.

In an instant, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had turned Huo Yuhao's spiritual space into a resort.

"Oh, right. I'm still missing something to read. Do you have any newspapers or something? Get me a copy."

Wearing sunglasses, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm lay on the beach chair with a cocktail in hand.

He looked entirely like he was enjoying a leisurely vacation.

Huo Yuhao raised his right hand, turned his wrist, and more than a dozen books appeared in his palm.

"Douluo Continent?"

"It's actually named after the continent. Looks like it's a history book."

"Forget it, forget it. Brother Sky Dream doesn't have anything else to read anyway."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm opened Douluo Continent. At first, he was merely bored.

But soon he became engrossed, unable to put it down.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm—ultimate evolution—an old bookworm!

Huo Yuhao glanced at Elder Yi, then turned and walked deeper into the Spiritual World.

At its deepest point stood a small rural courtyard.

Upon entering, he saw a beautiful, kind young woman.

She sat peacefully and quietly in a reclining chair, facing outside the courtyard, as though waiting for someone to return home.

Huo Yuhao gently stroked the woman's face. "Love you, Mom."
