Chapter 29: Skydream Yuhao, You're My Brother!
In this world, soul masters are undoubtedly a high income group compared to ordinary people. For any soul master, grilled fish is an incredibly cheap dish so getting into an argument over grilled fish is almost unheard of.
After all, most students had eaten grilled fish before and knew that it was just decent at best. It wasn't like grilled fish could enhance soul power or anything.
Moreover, these students were in their teenage years, full of energy, and their imaginations ran wild. Give them a Blue Silver Grass, a Soft Bone Rabbit, and a Man Faced Demon Spider, and they might just weave an epic love triangle story out of it.
So, to some of them, was Juzi and Meng Hongchen really fighting over grilled fish? No! They were fighting over someone's heart!
With this thought, many students looked at Huo Yuhao with envy. Juzi aside, if someone could get close to Meng Hongchen, they'd be set for life saving at least a hundred years of effort! After all, Meng Hongchen wasn't just a rich girl; she had a powerful background, was a genius, and a campus beauty. Her popularity at the academy was extremely high.
Inside the Spiritual Sea
Skydream Iceworm stared at the scene in shock. "Yuhao, brother, I think these girls are acting a little special toward you… Two women… You're quite the player! Are all you humans this fickle? We soul beasts wait, no, you humans are you always like this? This is an eye opener!"
"Brother Skydream, don't talk nonsense. There's nothing going on yet! What do you mean, fickle?" Huo Yuhao replied righteously.
Skydream Iceworm's voice suddenly became serious. "Yuhao, from now on, don't call me Brother Skydream anymore. From now on, call me Little Skydream. And I'll call you Brother Huo!"
Huo Yuhao: ???
What kind of nonsense is this? Weren't you the one who insisted I call you Brother Skydream? Now you want to be Little Skydream? At this rate, why not go even lower and be the "Littleest Skydream"?!
"Brother Skydream, stop messing around. Just say what you want directly, don't beat around the bush."
"Alright, then I'll be straightforward. I have a friend… He fell in love with a soul beast from another species. But that soul beast doesn't like him she even wants to eat him! So, he desperately needs the advice of an experienced young man who juggles multiple women like you…" Skydream Iceworm said nervously.
What do you mean 'an experienced young man who juggles multiple women'?! You make me sound like some kind of wandering playboy!
Huo Yuhao was speechless. "Brother Skydream, this friend of yours… it's you, isn't it?"
"Uh?" Skydream Iceworm was about to deny it, but then he hesitated. If Ice Empress moved into the Spiritual Sea later, this matter would come to light sooner or later. Lying now wouldn't make a difference.
After a brief pause, he said hesitantly, "How did you know it was me?"
Because I just answered based on the obvious clues. I can't be wrong.
Huo Yuhao immediately responded, "So, in short, you really like this soul beast, huh?"
"Of course! I love her so much! I've always been good to her, but she just doesn't appreciate it… So, do you have any advice to help me win her over?" Skydream Iceworm asked seriously.
"I don't know much about soul beast romance," Huo Yuhao replied.
"I think love is the same across species. After all, your human Tang San and the soul beast Xiao Wu had a love story too. Though I wasn't around to witness it, I do know that Xiao Wu even sacrificed herself for Tang San," Skydream Iceworm argued.
Huo Yuhao fell silent for a moment.
In the original story, Skydream and Ice Empress' relationship only changed after the Love Inquiry Valley. But I'm definitely not going there.
That place was Tang Buddha's favorite part of the story, but for me, it was the most unbearable plotline. The academy arc was so fun at first, then suddenly, BAM Love Inquiry Valley stabbed me right in the heart.
Tang Buddha's taste in drama is just as ridiculous as always. That whole Love Inquiry Valley thing was completely unnecessary. Those emotional tests were absurd! Turning Ning Tian into a man was already wild enough, but then he even made one of the twins survive while the other turned into a vegetable?!
Absolutely ridiculous!
"Love Inquiry where madness begins!"
"I can't give you any solid advice. Brother Skydream, you're overestimating me. I'm still just an eleven year old kid. Do you really have the heart to make a child solve your love problems? You've lived longer than the entire Sun Moon Empire!"
"Alright, alright, that's on me," Skydream Iceworm admitted, feeling a bit ashamed. That's true… Yuhao is only eleven years old. Asking him for relationship advice might be too much.
"Alright, I'll get back to grilling fish."
Huo Yuhao turned his attention back to cooking for Meng Hongchen.
Fifth Floor, Library
Xiao Hongchen was deeply engrossed in a book titled Soul Tool Core Technology: This Is How You Engrave a Fifth Tier Soul Tool Core Formation As Explained by Xuan Ziwen. The book detailed various aspects of engraving a fifth tier core formation, with no secrets withheld.
For Xiao Hongchen, this was an excellent learning resource. He needed to absorb this knowledge and combine it with the practical lessons his grandfather had taught him to truly master fifth tier core engraving.
Suddenly, a student in white robes rushed in, looking frantic. He was one of Xiao Hongchen's underlings. "Brother Xiao, bad news! Miss Meng has been stolen by another man!"
"What?! That's impossible!" Xiao Hongchen was utterly shocked.
I was just with Meng not long ago! How could someone else swoop in and steal her so quickly?!
Wait… wasn't Meng always extremely picky about appearances? Could it be that she finally met a male soul master who was extraordinarily handsome?!
No way. Absolutely not.
Xiao Hongchen refused to believe it. After all, in Meng Hongchen's heart, her future partner had to be better looking than her own brother.
Better looking than me? That means he'd be outshining me!
"Who is it?" Xiao Hongchen asked with a serious expression.
"It's Huo Yuhao!" the underling reported.
"Huo Yuhao?"
Xiao Hongchen sat back down, his tone indifferent. "That's just a rumor! Go back, and don't bother me with gossip. I'm currently immersed in the vast ocean of knowledge and need to concentrate."
He admitted that Huo Yuhao was kind of handsome and a talented soul engineer. But when it came to looks, Huo Yuhao still wasn't on Xiao Hongchen's level!
There was no way Meng would be attracted to someone less handsome than himself.
As her brother, he knew very well his sister was a hardcore beauty fanatic!
"But…" The underling wanted to say more.
"Enough. Leave. I need to keep studying!" Xiao Hongchen waved him off, dismissing the topic entirely.
