Leng Xiao felt her heart burning, and unconsciously touched her chest, where it was pounding with unprecedented joy. Gazing at Huo Yuhao's tall and straight back, she murmured unconsciously, "It's so good to have met you."
Huo Yuhao noticed Leng Xiao's gaze and, with a smile in his green eyes, said to her, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Leng Xiao snapped out of her daze, composed herself, and hurriedly turned her face away, saying, "Ah, no, no, it's nothing."
Long Haochen broke the awkward silence at the right moment. "Miss Yue Ye, we need some disguises now. I wonder if you can do that?"
Yue Ye said to Long Haochen, "Of course, no problem."
She then looked at Huo Yuhao, as if to say, "Do you need it too?"
Huo Yuhao snapped his fingers crisply, his long blue hair shortened slightly and turned brown, and his eyes turned green. This was his Tang Wu disguise, which included the intention to use Necromancy. After all, this was the Holy Demon Continent.
While it's true that the identity of a teacher and disciple should never be revealed unless absolutely necessary, sometimes it's necessary to do so. This can be used as a way of maintaining one's identity, thus enhancing the teacher's prestige.
It also provides a good disguise.
Looking at Huo Yuhao's disguise under the Yue Ye, Yueye couldn't help but admire, "Truly exquisite, achieving such a disguise effect in an instant."
Leng Xiao looked at him. Huo Yuhao now was handsome in two different ways compared to his original blue-haired self. The blue-haired version was as aloof as the moon, while now he was like a wisp of mist. Was he a master of disguise?
In the Yue Ye, there was also a Sisi stirring in her heart. The sudden appearance of a hero from another world to save them, while his words were full of exploitation, his actions showed that he was protecting them all along.
She possesses extremely cold ice magic, yet she is a very gentle person; she's truly fascinating.
Sheng Cai'er tugged at Long Haochen's sleeve and said, "Let's not waste any more time here, Haochen. Let's continue on our way to the Cave of Fear and Sorrow."
Long Haochen nodded.
He looked in Huo Yuhao's direction and asked, "Senior Huo, are you still going to set off with us?"
Before the words were even finished, everyone's eyes were on Huo Yuhao. Was he going to leave? Leng Xiao and Yue Ye were wondering whether he should go with the Demon Hunt Squad.
Huo Yuhao chuckled and said, "Brother Long, just call me Yuhao. There's no need for any 'senior' or 'elder.' I'm a very easygoing person. Since I promised Brother Long that I could travel with you all the way, I'll see it through to the end. I'm never one to break my promises."
Long Haochen breathed a sigh of relief, "Alright, Yuhao, you don't need to call me 'Brother Long' anymore, just call me Haochen."
The reason Long Haochen and Sheng Cai'er that way was because they were his senior brothers and sisters. Besides, Huo Yuhao wasn't the type to put on airs like a senior. However, if anyone dared to provoke him again, then he, as their senior, would have to teach them a lesson.
Huo Yuhao left with Long Haochen and the others.
Yue Ye and Leng Xiao watched Huo Yuhao and the others leave, their figures gradually receding into the distance. Something stirred within them; a unique emotion seemed to have taken root, perhaps to blossom and bear fruit in the future.
Is it love? I don't know. Love is sudden; once you realize you're in love, you're already hopelessly addicted.
Huo Yuhao also looked back in their direction. They stood there, watching his figure until they could no longer see each other.
Until it's truly invisible.
Leng Xiao murmured softly, "Sister Yue, he's gone."
As if waking from a dream under the Yue Ye, a complex emotion flashed in her purple eyes. "Yes, he's gone. Let's go home too." Her voice had never been so gentle, as if what had just happened was a dream.
Leng Xiao said, "Okay."
The two then left.
On the way to the Cave of Fear and Sorrow, no one dared to provoke this powerful figure from another world, because no one knew if this powerful figure would take a dislike to them and eliminate them on the spot. Dian Yan was a good example; now, Dian Yan's eyes were filled with fear as she looked at Huo Yuhao.
Because he didn't know when this powerful figure might kill him, he was currently being very obedient and listening to Long Haochen's every word.
Fear combined with intimidation made even Long Haochen feel that it should be enough. He even told Huo Yuhao that Dian Yan's intentions were not entirely pure, but as a warrior, she was still quite good.
Huo Yuhao chuckled coldly. Who really cared? Disobedience meant certain death.
He thought to himself, "Intimidating the members of the group should be the leader's task, but now it's being done by an outsider like me. Brother Long, you're truly Goodness."
However, compared to Long Haochen's Goodness, Huo Yuhao looked at Sheng Cai'er and said, "This Sheng Cai'er is truly cunning. I really don't know how they got together."
"However, it's not really my place to comment on it."
With Huo Yuhao's presence and the things Yue Ye gave him, the Demon Clan basically avoided him.
Upon reaching a hillside surrounded by mountains, Long Haochen checked the map to confirm his current location.
He pointed to the mountain ahead and said, "Beyond that mountain, we should reach the location of the Cave of Fear and Sorrow."
Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves alerted Long Haochen and the others.
The demon cavalrymen reported to their leader, "Leader, there are people ahead who appear to be Moon Demon Clan."
The chieftain said, "Let's go and see what month it is that has given them the audacity to come to Lord Samigina's territory."
The leader was clearly the Great Demon Cavalry. Just as Long Haochen was about to step forward to gather information, Huo Yuhao Long Haochen stopped him, saying, "Don't worry, let me handle this."
The moment he appeared before Huo Yuhao, the Dark Gold Dreadclaw lashed out, instantly killing the leading demon cavalryman. He unleashed his Ultimate Ice, giving them no time to react; the demon cavalrymen were dead.
Li Xin sighed and said, "As long as this senior is around, it seems we won't be able to obtain any merit."
Huo Yuhao noticed this as well, and calmly said to Long Haochen, "I'm sorry, Haochen, I didn't know you needed any more merits."
Long Haochen shook his head with a wry smile, " Yuhao, it's nothing. It's just that we're not strong enough, and you always have to protect us."
Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "Alright, then next time you guys can take the lead. At worst, I'll severely injure the opponent, and you guys can finish them off."
Long Haochen refused decisively. "No, if it's this kind of merit, Yuhao, I'd rather not have it. As a knight, I can't do that."
A hint of admiration flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes. "Truly a great knight."
Finally, Huo Yuhao used Necromancy to search for Soul Search.
Huo Yuhao calmly revealed the contents of the Soul Search: "The leader of these people is called Samigina. They are now going to reinforce their clansmen who entered the Cave of Shrill Screams. The Cave of Shrill Screams was discovered by their Demon Race. King Samigina has already reported this cave to the Demon God Emperor. This cave is on the other side of the mountain."
Long Haochen said in surprise, "I see. Yuhao is truly amazing; he even has the means to probe a person's soul."
Huo Yuhao said, "You flatter me, you flatter me. These are just some minor tricks."
The members of the Demon Hunt Squad wondered to themselves, "Just how much skill do you consider 'small,' senior?"
