"Everything's here, take a look?" The burly man who came out of the warehouse tossed his right hand upwards.
Huo Yuhao quickly reached out and caught it; an exquisite Soul Tool Ring immediately appeared in his hand.
"Okay."
Huo Yuhao showed no politeness and immediately began inspecting the supplies.
Suddenly, Huo Yuhao's brows furrowed, and he pointed to the ring in his hand, saying, "The quantity is wrong!"
The burly man opposite him said angrily, "Wrong? How could that be? I ordered it myself, there's definitely no problem."
He was already quite unhappy about being inexplicably transferred to this place, and being a dutiful person, he even checked the items twice to make sure there were no mistakes before handing them over to Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao shrugged helplessly, then said firmly, "It's just not enough. If it's not enough, it needs to be replenished. That's only natural, isn't it?"
The man who had been waiting outside quickly pulled back his colleague, who was becoming somewhat agitated, and asked Huo Yuhao, "How much is missing? We'll check, and if it is, we'll make it up to you."
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao nodded in satisfaction, then held up one finger and said seriously, "One Gold Soul Coin."
"One Gold Soul Coin... wait, one? Are you sure?" The man felt he had misheard and asked again in disbelief.
Huo Yuhao said decisively, "Yes, we're just one Gold Soul Coin short, a full one."
The man accompanying Huo Yuhao twitched at the corner of his mouth upon hearing this.
At first, he thought he had misheard, but it turned out to be a real Gold Soul Coin.
However, considering the impression Huo Yuhao gave him along the way—that he seemed to be a petty and calculating person—he didn't take it seriously.
"You must give me this Gold Soul Coin, or there's no room for negotiation."
Huo Yuhao stepped forward and blocked the two burly men, standing there stiffly like a rogue.
"No? It's only one Gold Soul Coin? You're going to haggle over that?"
Having said that, the aura of Soul Saint instantly swept towards Huo Yuhao.
However, before the oppressive aura could even get close to Huo Yuhao, it was neutralized by another aura.
The man who looked like a leader immediately stopped his companion, fearing things would escalate. He then took out a Gold Soul Coin from his pocket and handed it to Huo Yuhao, saying, "Isn't this enough?"
Huo Yuhao pinched the Gold Soul Coin between two fingers, blew on it, then held it to his ear and listened carefully before nodding in satisfaction.
After carefully putting away the items, he said, "The items are all fine. Happy transaction."
Huo Yuhao then extended his hand to the man.
The man reached out and shook his hand, saying, "As long as there were no mistakes, that's fine."
Afterwards, Huo Yuhao left the place, led by the man who accompanied him.
The two burly men watched Huo Yuhao leave before closing the warehouse door.
The burly man, who had been somewhat annoyed, complained, "Brother, we shouldn't have given him that Gold Soul Coin. I calculated it twice; how could I be wrong? It's obvious he was trying to take advantage."
The man shook his head and said, "Perhaps, but delaying the rest of the matter for a single Gold Soul Coin is not worth it. Have you forgotten our responsibilities?"
As he spoke, the man reached out to examine the storage ring in his hand.
The next moment, I felt as if my heart had been suddenly gripped, my body stiffened abruptly, my hair stood on end, and I felt as if I had fallen into an ice cellar!
He was horrified to discover that the key to the national treasury in his hand had mysteriously vanished.
This is impossible!
Huo Yuhao, the instigator of this whole affair, was naturally unaware of the Han's reaction.
At this moment, he had returned to the gate of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.
He clenched his fist tightly, afraid that he might lose the storage ring in his hand if he wasn't careful.
This was the largest fortune he had acquired in all these days, and Huo Yuhao valued it highly.
At this moment, because of the deal reached between Huo Yuhao and Crown Prince Xu Tianran, all the people who were originally monitoring Shrek have disappeared.
Even the guards standing at the entrance were much more enthusiastic, no longer as indifferent as before.
Huo Yuhao quickly returned to the dormitory building.
As I pushed open the door, intending to take stock of my haul...
Huo Yuhao's lips, which were about to curl into a smile, immediately straightened, and he looked calmly at his bed.
At this moment, Ju Zi was lying on Huo Yuhao's bed, sleeping peacefully.
Because the room was a bit stuffy, her long, snow-white legs kicked off the blanket and were exposed.
Huo Yuhao walked to the window, opened it, and a cool breeze brushed against Ju Zi's hair.
"Hmm~"
The Ju Zi let out a comfortable humming sound, which stirred up a feeling of excitement in everyone.
As she turned over, her left hand unconsciously tugged at her collar, inadvertently revealing a glimpse of her bare skin.
Huo Yuhao pulled up a chair and sat down on the edge of the bed. Behind him, Slime slowly reached out and touched Ju Zi's delicate body.
Half an hour later.
Huo Yuhao, like a sage, kept reading the introductory book on Soul Engineer, while Ju Zi slowly woke up at that moment.
"Mmm, that feels so good."
Ju Zi looked at the blanket that had wrapped her up tightly with some surprise, pulled it off, and got up to stretch.
Ju Zi rubbed her sleepy eyes and then noticed Huo Yuhao sitting beside her. "Lord Shadow, you're back? Where did you go?"
Huo Yuhao said calmly, "I didn't go anywhere. Why did you come here so suddenly? Is there something you need?"
Ju Zi immediately perked up, dressed herself, and said earnestly, "Lord Shadow, I think we can take action."
" Illustrious Virtue Hall's core technology will be very helpful for my later research, and I want to get my hands on it."
Ju Zi had been planning this for a long time. Ever since she entered Illustrious Virtue Hall to study, she had been planning this, but she hadn't carried it out for fear of disrupting Huo Yuhao's plans.
However, she couldn't wait any longer. Xu Tianran's message to her was that he wanted her to leave. If she wanted to obtain the core information of the Illustrious Virtue Hall, then this matter had to be put on the agenda.
Therefore, she hurried over to ask Huo Yuhao for instructions.
Huo Yuhao looked at Ju Zi and said, "I understand. You can arrange some people, and then we can take action."
"Hehe, I'll go prepare right away. Lord Shadow, you must help me then! I'm really looking forward to those Illustrious Virtue Hall materials." Ju Zi hugged Huo Yuhao warmly.
Ju Zi continued, "Now that we've got the information, and with such a big event happening, Xu Tianran definitely won't sit still. And with the power he's accumulated now, he might use this opportunity to launch an attack and vie for the throne."
Huo Yuhao stroked his chin, feeling that Ju Zi said made sense.
Ju Zi winked playfully, then continued, "So, Lord Shadow, I specifically spoke with Teacher Xuan Ziwen, and starting tomorrow, you'll be studying with me at the Illustrious Virtue Hall."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's lips twitched, but he couldn't bring himself to refuse.
Reluctantly, he placed the storage ring he had just acquired on the table beside him and picked up a teacup to pour himself a glass of water.
Ju Zi's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had caught the scent of her prey. She reached out and grabbed the ring on the table, instantly concentrating her Spiritual Power into it.
Then, she exclaimed with delight, "Wow! So many rare metals, Lord Shadow, did you prepare this especially for me? I absolutely adore you!"
Smack!
As soon as she finished speaking, Ju Zi unceremoniously kissed Huo Yuhao twice on the cheek.
Huo Yuhao's eyes trembled as he looked at the storage ring held in Ju Zi's hand. He turned his head away, feeling a tightness in his heart, and felt as if he wanted to cry but couldn't.
"Lord Shadow, what happened to your eyes?"
"By the wind."
"Then I'll blow on it for you, hehe..."
