Xu Jiujiu was Xu Jiujiu surprised, not expecting Huo Yuhao to suddenly bring up himself. "What's wrong, Yuhao?"
Huo Yuhao looked at her and said to Xu Jiujiu, "Don't you have a younger sister named Xu Yun'er?"
Upon hearing this, the tent fell silent for a moment, and many people looked over curiously.
White Tiger Duke Dai Hao and Dai Yueheng of the White Tiger clan looked at Dai Luoli.
After hesitating for Xu Jiujiu, she nodded and said, "That's right, I do have a younger sister named Xu Yun'er. Yuhao, why are you asking about this?" She felt a little uneasy, her heart tightening for no reason, and she couldn't help but think, "Could it be that Yuhao has taken a liking to Yun'er?"
Huo Yuhao pointed at Dai Luoli, who was standing not far away, and said decisively, "I think I should propose marriage to Dai Luoli and ask His Majesty the Emperor to grant a marriage certificate between Dai Luoli and Xu Yun'er."
Everyone was even more surprised. What?
Xu Jiujiu was completely stunned, her gaze unconsciously shifting between Dai Luoli and Huo Yuhao. It took her several seconds to react before she blurted out, "Okay... okay!" The others were no longer so surprised.
Huo Yuhao then smiled and explained in a relaxed tone, "Well, actually, the thing is, just now, when I was chatting with that young lady while concealing my identity, we suddenly got to this topic. You see, I thought they were a perfect match, one being the son of the White Tiger Duke and the other a princess. Their statuses are well-matched, so I thought I'd try to bring them together. Does everyone have any objections?"
Everyone said they had no objections, and even White Tiger Duke looked at Huo Yuhao with a grateful expression.
Dai Luoli's eyes were practically sparkling with excitement. He wished he could kneel down and kowtow to Huo Yuhao on the spot, calling him "Father." Huo Yuhao was practically his godfather.
Vina smiled, a mischievous glint in her eyes, and her voice floated over, saying, " Yuhao, you're helping this kid so much, you wouldn't happen to have some kind of relationship with him, would you?"
Huo Yuhao lazily replied to Vina, " Princess Vina, I kind of dislike the other two sons of the White Tiger Duke. Now that one of them has Mutated Martial Soul and seems a bit more obedient, can't I just help him out?"
Then everyone understood.
Vina, however, clearly had no intention of stopping there. "Since we're already talking about marriages in the White Tiger Duke's family, Yuhao, your marriage hasn't been settled yet?"
Huo Yuhao shrugged, answering casually, "I'm fine. I have many girlfriends, so we'll hold them all together. They'll all come to the wedding banquet!"
Everyone said, "Definitely, definitely."
But Vina was clearly not talking about that; she looked in Xu Jiujiu's direction, Xu Jiujiu's eyes were somewhat dim.
Vina's voice wasn't loud, but it was loud enough for everyone in the tent to hear clearly. "So, Yuhao, what do you think of our Princess Jiujiu?"
In an instant, Du Busi, Heavenly Sun Douluo, and even White Tiger Duke quietly pricked up their ears, with expressions that said, "There's some gossip to hear."
Huo Yuhao paused, then turned his gaze to Xu Jiujiu, " Princess Jiujiu is a very good person. She handles state affairs with great efficiency and has a gentle and refined personality."
Hearing Huo Yuhao's praise, Xu Jiujiu felt much better. She also knew why Vina had asked that question. What a good friend! Giving her a helping hand at this moment.
Huo Yuhao understood Vina's thoughts and said to Vina, " Princess Vina, is there something you need when you suddenly asked about Princess Jiujiu?"
Vina sighed inwardly. It seemed that things were no longer under her control, and intervening further might backfire.
"It Jiujiu I can only leave it to you," she said with a smile, her voice gentle yet meaningful. "It's nothing, Yuhao. I believe you understand what I mean. Sometimes, it's very difficult for a girl to express her love."
Huo Yuhao didn't answer immediately. He remained silent for a moment, then spoke again, his voice softening, like a snowflake gently falling into the palm of his hand, "Then let's wait until the girl has the courage. Once she has the courage, she will surely succeed in what she wants to do."
Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Xu Jiujiu also revealed a Sisi smile.
Just then, Du Busi's voice broke in, successfully changing the subject, " Yuhao, assassinating Xu Tianran this time wasn't easy."
His tone was grave, and the atmosphere in the tent immediately became heavy. "We are facing a level 99 Limit Douluo, Long Xiaoyao, someone even Mu En can rival."
"When Xuan Zi and I faced him together last time, I truly felt the difference in our levels. A single level is like a world apart."
Huo Yuhao was certainly not intimidated by the solemnity. The Level 99 Dark Sacred Dragon Long Xiaoyao?
He's nothing but a fart in front of me. Of course, I can't say that in front of others. He's on the righteous path now, although he wasn't on the demonic path before.
He said, "As long as those Titled Douluo seniors can hold off Long Xiaoyao and the Holy Spirit Cult for ten minutes, I am confident that I can kill Xu Tianran instantly. There is no doubt about that."
"The real fear is that Xu Tianran might have some hidden tricks up his sleeve, perhaps even a Titled Douluo lying in wait, and several Level 9 Soul Tool equipped on him."
Du Busi slammed his hand on the table and said boldly, "We definitely have Level 9 Soul Tool. However, as for Titled Douluo, Yuhao, don't worry, we'll stop most of Titled Douluo for you. Just go ahead and do it."
"Now, all of us in this empire are counting on you alone."
Huo Yuhao slowly raised his head and looked at everyone. Was this what it felt like to be in half a world, all looking at the same person?
Huo Yuhao wouldn't let momentary impulses put him in a passive position. His killing of Xu Tianran wasn't entirely in response to everyone's expectations, but in this situation...
Of course, words of encouragement were also indispensable. "Seniors, rest assured, Yuhao will live up to your expectations and will definitely kill Xu Tianran, giving the conflict between nations a chance to be delayed."
Xu Jiujiu and Vina spoke almost simultaneously, their voices mingling, filled with complete trust. " Yuhao, we believe in you."
At this point, White Tiger Duke and the others seemed to have truly become mere background figures.
Dai Luoli has truly gained an idol. Now, who is her true idol? Of course, it's Huo Yuhao.
To be honest, he wasn't very familiar with those two older brothers to begin with. Even if Huo Yuhao really killed them in the future, he wouldn't feel any resentment towards Huo Yuhao, because it was their fault in the first place.
He was aware of that.
Now, Huo Yuhao's status is practically that of a leader, an absolute leader who surpasses all the Titled Douluo and princesses.
Afterwards, this might become the consensus of everyone on the continent. If there are any other opinions, then I estimate that it will just be the next country to be wiped out.
P. S.: Sorry, guys. Although I didn't fast-forward to the main plot, I still need to give Dai Luoli some benefits first. After all, Dai Luoli's mother was really good to Huo Yuhao and the others in the past, even giving them money and such.
Huo Yuhao wasn't an ungrateful person; he would help when needed, first bringing Xu Yun'er and Huo Yuhao together, and then, later, providing them with soul rings, soul bones, and other such things.
