Chapter 76 The Coming Shrek
A few days later, in Tiandou City,
Huo Yuhao stood helplessly at his doorstep.
He really didn't know how to explain it to Huo Yun'er.
"Yuhao...you mean, this girl was also someone you picked up?"
Looking at the well-developed Ma Xiaotao next to Huo Yuhao,
Huo Yun'er's expression grew increasingly strange: "Son...you're not involved in human trafficking, are you?"
"Mom! What nonsense are you talking about!" Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao nearly coughed up blood.
I'm clearly doing a good deed!
How did it become human trafficking in my own mother's mouth?!
"After all, we've only lived in Tiandou City for two and a half years. Including this Miss Xiaotao, you've brought four girls home. And that doesn't even include Dong'er, who comes to our house to play for two days every month."
Huo Yun'er sized up Ma Xiaotao beside her and continued, "Besides, this Miss Xiaotao is probably seventeen or eighteen years old, right? How could you... pick her up?"
"She's got a good look and figure, and a big butt means she can have a son..."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao nearly choked to death: "Mom!!"
"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore." Huo Yun'er covered her mouth and smiled. "Since you brought him back, you must have your own plans. I'm just an ordinary person, so I won't interfere. Anyway, you can make the decisions about our family. I'll support you."
"but……"
Seeing Huo Yun'er's brows furrow slightly, as if she were somewhat troubled, Huo Yuhao immediately became worried: "But what? Is there a problem?"
"It's quite a problem..." Huo Yun'er said, glancing at Gu Yuena and Ma Xiaotao behind Huo Yuhao.
She then leaned close to Huo Yuhao's ear and whispered, "Tell me the truth, out of all these girls, which one is your girlfriend? Don't tell me they're all...."
"Oh dear, Mom! Please stop making things worse!! We're just friends, okay?!"
Seeing the slight change in Gu Yuena and Ma Xiaotao's expressions,
Huo Yuhao was at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
This kind of whispering, to a Soul Master
It's no different from asking in person!
"Okay, okay, Mom won't ask anymore." Looking at my flustered state, Huo Yuhao...
Huo Yun'er then concluded that her son must already have someone he liked.
And it's very likely that the person in front of you is one of these two.
Thinking of this, Huo Yun'er's smile widened.
Before his mother could continue causing trouble,
Huo Yuhao then directly used the excuse of getting familiar with the environment.
He led the two people into the house.
……
"Sorry, that's just how my mom is. Every time she brings someone back, she comes over." Huo Yuhao apologized somewhat helplessly. "She was just joking, don't take it to heart."
Ma Xiaotao said with a playful expression, "Hey, you've brought four girls home in two and a half years~ That's really impressive~ So, which one is your little girlfriend?"
"Sister Xiaotao! Why are you making fun of me too! I'm only nine years old!" Huo Yuhao was on the verge of tears.
"So what if she's nine? In our Douluo Continent, many noble children are engaged from birth. Feelings are something that's best nurtured early!" Ma Xiaotao said with a grin. "Nana, don't you think so?"
Gu Yuena shrugged indifferently: "As long as someone is outstanding enough, isn't it normal to have multiple partners?"
Ma Xiaotao was taken aback by his words. She truly hadn't expected that this seemingly elegant young lady would think this way... "Stop! Let's leave this topic at that!"
Huo Yuhao quickly interrupted their conversation.
If they continued talking like this, he really didn't know if it would lead to any other problems.
Huo Yuhao took a deep breath: "Sister Xiaotao, although I agreed to let you stay at my house temporarily, don't forget my conditions."
"What conditions? You don't really want me to repay you with my body, do you?" Ma Xiaotao grinned, but seeing Huo Yuhao's expression gradually darken, she quickly cleared her throat and abandoned her playful intentions.
"Ahem, I know, I know. I'm just staying temporarily. I will absolutely not involve my troubles with Shrek in your family, Yuhao."
"When I return to the academy, I will definitely take good care of your two older sisters."
Seeing that Ma Xiaotao had stopped joking, Huo Yuhao nodded: "That's more like it."
"But...you really don't have any other requests? You saved my life...is this all you're asking for? It makes my life seem so worthless, doesn't it?"
While it's great to get something for free, it's really not pleasant for someone as ambitious as Ma Xiaotao.
"You're still not happy that I'm not making you pay the price?" Huo Yuhao naturally understood what Ma Xiaotao was thinking at this moment.
If the issue of gratitude isn't clearly defined, there will always be some unease in one's heart.
Moreover, this kind of life-saving grace,
After all, Ma Xiaotao wasn't an ungrateful and immoral person.
Ultimately, I still have some concerns.
"Since you're so determined to repay this kindness, I do have something I need you to do, and judging from the current situation, only you can do it," Huo Yuhao said, looking at Ma Xiaotao.
Faced with Huo Yuhao's suddenly serious expression, Ma Xiaotao couldn't help but frown: "Tell me, I will do my best to do it."
"It's not complicated for you. At most, you'll have to resort to some shameless little girl tricks," Huo Yuhao said casually.
Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao was slightly taken aback: "Shameless tactics?"
Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao quickly took a step back, instinctively raising her hands to protect herself: "What...what do you want me to do?!"
"Hey, Sister Xiaotao, what's going on in your head...?" Huo Yuhao chuckled wryly at Ma Xiaotao's reaction.
Too lazy to pay attention to her wild thoughts, he said directly, "Several days have passed since what happened in the Star Dou Great Forest. I presume that the higher-ups of Shrek Academy are all aware of it by now."
When Huo Yuhao suddenly brought up Shrek Academy, Ma Xiaotao smiled awkwardly and stopped interrupting him, listening quietly.
"Furthermore, last year, Shrek Academy specially sent Elder Xuan with Bei Bei to visit me for the sake of the Tang Sect's successor, so they have some understanding of me as well."
"I was prepared for them to come to me directly, but no one came. I don't know why, but it's a good thing for me."
"And this incident will definitely make them notice me again, and while they bring you back, they will also try to bring me to Shrek Academy."
"After all, with my talent, it would be a lie for Shrek Academy to say they didn't want to accept me into the academy."
Ma Xiaotao nodded slightly: "So... you don't want to join Shrek Academy?"
"I don't want to, at least not for now. What you need to do is use your identity to stop Shrek Academy from recruiting me."
