For Ten Thousand Years, I Have Owed You Much

The train slowly pulled into the station, and as the doors opened, a cool breeze rushed into the carriage.

As Huo Yuhao and his three companions stepped out of the train carriage, the previously bustling crowd on the platform suddenly seemed to freeze, drawing the attention of passersby.

Seeing this, Na Nali glanced at Gu Yuena beside her and muttered to herself.

Even with her looks, she was almost overshadowed by this girl. What will she be like when she fully matures?

A beauty that brings ruin, perhaps the second Holy Spirit Douluo, the most beautiful woman on the continent, attracting the pursuit of geniuses from all sides...

Thinking of this, Na Nali paused, looking at Huo Yuhao.

Oh, something seems off. Gu Yuena has this person by her side, which is different from the other one.

A twelve-year-old Soul King and Battle Armor Master is enough to make anyone despair.

"How wonderful, why don't I have a knight in shining armor by my side?"

Na Nali sighed inwardly, then narcissistically drew a conclusion.

Perhaps she's just too strong.

A level 98 Super Douluo in his thirties, Four-Word Battle Armor Master—how many like him exist in the history of the mainland?

In her generation, if it weren't for the need for the Dark Department members to keep information confidential, she would be the first person... right?

Huo Yuhao ignored Na Nali's expression and, together with the three of them, stepped into Mingdu, the most modern city in the western core of the Douluo Continent!

The towering Soul Guidance Tower pierced the clouds, its metal and crystal structure gleaming coldly in the sunlight.

In the sky, the soul-guided maglev train glided silently along the suspended track, the high-altitude flying car moved forward on a fixed route, and the soul-guided streetlights lit up one after another as the sky darkened, illuminating the entire city as if it were daytime.

In addition, squads of dozens of Mecha patrolled a certain area.

Every detail showcases the city's prosperity and sophistication.

"Finally, I can breathe a sigh of relief. I was worried those guys would come and attack again the whole way."

Na Nali snapped out of her thoughts, led Yuanen Yehui out of the Soul Tool Train, and smiled as she bid farewell to Huo Yuhao Yehui, "Well then, see you later. You can look forward to my apology and thank-you gift!"

Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena nodded, and after watching the two leave, Huo Yuhao first used his Soul Tool Communicator to let Li Yucheng know he was safe.

"That's great! If you hadn't come soon, I wouldn't know how to explain it to Xiao Yao." Li Yucheng breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving the call.

"I'm sorry to have worried you, Elder Li."

Huo Yuhao said apologetically.

"No, it's my fault that I, a Soul Douluo, couldn't protect you two children." Li Yucheng sighed, clearly still blaming himself.

Huo Yuhao comforted him, "Elder Li, please don't say that. This situation is special; no one could have predicted the appearance of Titled Douluo- level Evil Spirit Master."

"Well."

Li Yucheng sighed and said no more. Although he was Soul Douluo, he mainly cultivated Side Profession, and his combat power was even inferior to some Soul Saint. This incident made him feel powerless.

"It's too late today. I'll take you to the Mecha Master Association Headquarters to see the president tomorrow. You've been attacked, so you need to get some rest."

"Okay," Huo Yuhao replied and hung up the call.

At this moment, Gu Yuena approached gently, her silver hair fluttering in the wind, her purple eyes filled with a hint of tenderness.

"Yuhao."

Huo Yuhao turned around at the sound of her voice. The girl gently brushed her wind-blown hair aside, her voice as clear as a spring, "Come stay at my house for a while. There are plenty of spare rooms there. And before I came back, I already arranged for the Forging Room, design room, Manufacturing Room, and so on to be set up, just to suit your needs."

Looking into Gu Yuena's clear eyes, Huo Yuhao felt a strange sensation, but he still smiled and nodded.

"Then I'll take my leave."

Gu Yuena smiled slightly, turned around and took a step. "Let's go, it's not far."

Gu Yuena led Huo Yuhao through several quiet streets, where the surrounding buildings gradually thinned out, and Moonlight Tree, emitting a faint glow, were planted on both sides of the road. These rare plants only bloom at night, and their shimmering white flowers lit up one after another as they walked, as if guiding their master.

Looking around at the quiet, natural environment, Huo Yuhao sensed the designer's meticulous attention to detail.

This is a rare tranquil place in Mingdu, far from the hustle and bustle of the city's neon lights, yet still offering the conveniences of modern life.

Gu Yuena walked briskly, occasionally turning back to check if Huo Yuhao was keeping up, and said with great interest:

"These trees were transplanted from Star Dou. They don't need much care; they can absorb moonlight and grow at night..."

As the two turned the last corner, an elegant five-story building came into view. The building adopted a minimalist gray and white color scheme, and large floor-to-ceiling windows allowed the indoor and outdoor spaces to blend naturally.

Gu Yuena pushed open the door to the first-floor room. "Please come in."

The interior space is spacious, with a chandelier made of natural crystal hanging from the high ceiling. The light is refracted through the crystal, casting flowing light and shadow on the walls.

"Of the vacant rooms, the south-facing bedroom on the fifth floor has the best natural light. It contains bookshelves and high-level soul-guiding books, and the style is to your liking..."

Seeing Huo Yuhao's ambiguous smile, Gu Yuena suddenly stopped introducing him, her ears turning slightly red.

"Isn't it good?"

Huo Yuhao gently shook his head, his tone mild.

"It feels nice... it gives me a sense of home."

Gu Yuena was taken aback upon hearing this, then smiled broadly.

While Gu Yuena was having a good time, Huo Yuhao's gaze shifted to a set of celadon teaware on the coffee table. The edges of the teacups were still damp with water, indicating that someone had used and cleaned them not long ago.

"Na'er, you're not the only one living here, are you?"

Gu Yuena snapped out of her reverie, her gaze shifting to the teacup. She took a deep breath. "Yes, this place is nominally a building under the Ancient Clan's name, and she has a key to it. However, she's quite busy and spends most of her time living near the Spirit Pagoda."

I need to find a chance to kick that girl out. With her around, she can't maintain her authority...

Huo Yuhao thoughtfully withdrew his gaze. "It seems you two have a good relationship."

Gu Yuena pursed her lips, still not denying it, "Let's not talk about her anymore. Yuhao, the Spirit Pagoda should have received news of your arrival by now, what are you planning to do?"

"I never said I had to report to the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters immediately..."

Outside the window, the deep twilight gradually enveloped Mingdu, and the Soul-Guiding Streetlights lit up one after another, casting dappled light and shadow on the glass.

In the dead of night, Huo Yuhao stepped out of his room and used his Power of Space to go outside.

Ahead, a tall, slender figure stood with his hands behind his back, his back to him. The man wore a black robe, and his long, ink-black hair fluttered slightly in the night breeze. He slowly turned around, revealing a pair of dark golden vertical pupils.

Upon seeing this, Huo Yuhao smiled slightly, "It's been ten thousand years, how have you been, Di Tian?"

Di Tian looked at him with a complicated expression, but finally nodded.

"Long time no see, Huo Yuhao. Over the past Ten Thousand Years, I have received countless favors from you..."
