Douluo Continent: Angel Saint Huo Yuhao

Chapter 76 Girls
After so many things happening, Huo Yuhao's vacation time is almost over.

As the start of the school year approaches, Shrek Academy's new round of recruitment has gradually begun, and the academy gates are becoming increasingly lively.

Taking advantage of this influx of people, Huo Yuhao's grilled fish business also became booming. Selling two hundred fish a day was considered low, and he even had to set a purchase limit to keep the business going until the afternoon.

"Since there are only a few days left, I might as well relax for now!"

Huo Yuhao counted the soul coins in his hand: "It's decided, the grilled fish stall will be open all day!"

Make a killing off him.

The next day, amidst Ning Tian's yawns, Huo Yuhao set up a small stall at the entrance, wanting to choose a suitable spot before registration began.

"You're here so early today?"

Before he could even get ready, Ning Tian, ​​who was idly flipping through the registration book, reminded him, "There aren't many people out buying things in the early morning..."

"Eh."

Huo Yuhao, who was suddenly spoken to, was slightly taken aback: "I was just thinking of preparing in advance... so that it would be easier to sell later."

Although this kind of chat is common and nothing special.

But the two of them don't know each other at all?

We had never spoken before, and we hadn't even exchanged names.

All Huo Yuhao knew was that this girl had a good relationship with Xiao Xiao, and he could occasionally see the two chatting happily, but he didn't know what they were talking about.

"My name is Ning Tian."

Clearly sensing his thoughts, Ning Tian stood up and walked to the stall, extending his hand frankly: "You must be Huo Yuhao, right? I've often heard of your reputation before! ...Can we get to know each other?"

"Good, good."

Faced with such a straightforward girl, Huo Yuhao found himself at a loss for words, unsure of what to say. He could only offer a light handshake before continuing with his work.

However, I couldn't help but have some doubts in my heart.

'Ning Tian... she actually knows me? Did Xiao Xiao tell her?'

'And this whole "fame" stuff...it's all nonsense! Am I really that famous at Shrek Academy?'

Can I order two grilled fish?

Before Huo Yuhao could figure out what was going on, Ning Tian ordered the food, adding at the end, "The taste is the same as before, both dishes are spicy."

"what?"

Huo Yuhao was completely dumbfounded: "You've been here before?"

With his level of mental strength, remembering all the customers who came to buy fish would naturally not be difficult for him.

But he had no recollection of this person ever buying grilled fish. What did this "same as before" mean?

Could attribute transference really cause amnesia?
"Oh, sorry."

Ning Tian then smiled belatedly, "I forgot to tell you. My friends always bought the grilled fish for me before, so it's normal that you don't recognize me."

"Ning Tian—!"

Just then, a timely exclamation came from the doorway. Wu Feng, who had met Huo Yuhao several times before, was carrying a banner on a hanging pole and looking at Ning Tian in disbelief.

'So it was her?'

Upon seeing this person, Huo Yuhao felt a sense of familiarity.

Every time he set up his stall, Wu Feng would always come over and order two grilled fish. He originally thought that this red-haired girl was used to his cooking, which was why she never missed a meal.

It seems that someone else actually liked to eat fish.
"What's wrong, Wu Feng?"

Ning Tian was startled by her shout and couldn't help but stand in front of the stall and look around.

"So...so that's why you made me buy fish every day—"

Wu Feng's voice trembled more and more, and a strange grief and indignation even welled up in his eyes, making Huo Yuhao's eyelids twitch.

This girl's body.

Is there a sense of hostility?
'But that doesn't make sense. Just because Ning Tian said a couple of words to me, she's going to hold a grudge against me?' Huo Yuhao frowned secretly.

"Buying fish every day? That's because I like to eat it, of course."

Ning Tian looked even more bewildered: "Didn't I specifically tell you to add extra spice?"

That's okay~
The moment those words left his mouth, Wu Feng's expression suddenly changed, and he began to set up poles, hang banners, and arrange the recruitment area as usual.

"You continue, you continue..."

It was as if nothing had just happened.

"Uh."

Huo Yuhao's face twitched involuntarily: "Your friend has quite a unique personality?"

"what…"

Ning Tian smiled somewhat awkwardly: "You think so too? Actually, everyone who's met us says so, even Xiao Xiao. But Wu Feng is actually a good kid, he's not like this normally..."

Even Ning Tian himself couldn't keep his composure after hearing this, and his voice gradually lowered until he shut up.

"Xiao Xiao?"

This time, it was Huo Yuhao's turn to start the conversation: "You two are much more familiar with each other than I thought?"

Given Xiao Xiao's incredibly gentle and submissive personality in front of outsiders, she shouldn't be openly complaining.

"Perhaps it's because we have common topics to talk about?"

When this was mentioned, Ning Tian seemed a little embarrassed: "My family has some techniques for controlling martial souls and soul skills while distracted, but unfortunately my talent is limited and I have never been very proficient in them."

"Over the past year, a lot of detailed problems have been solved with the help of Xiao Xiao. If we're really talking about it, she can be considered my teacher."

Distraction control…

Huo Yuhao thought to himself that he should have a good talk with Xiao Xiao and have a deeper exchange.

There might be many unexpected gains.

……

Even with some preparation, the enthusiasm of the crowd far exceeded Huo Yuhao's expectations. Long queues formed in front of the grilled fish stall, even affecting the admissions office next door.

Some diners were even more generous, often ordering three or five pieces at a time, piling up an incredible amount. For half a day, Huo Yuhao sat at the stall, his hands flying, busy non-stop.

Even the proficiency of the Jade Hand and the Crane Control and Dragon Capture techniques was forced to increase slightly.

Just as the crowd began to thin out, a figure suddenly stepped into the stall: "Boss, twenty grilled fish!"

"No."

Huo Yuhao didn't even lift his eyelids: "Also, the entry fee is 30,000. Pay it yourself."

"Hey--"

Wang Dong's eyebrows shot up: "Trying to raise the price on the spot?"

"You wanted to come in, and now you're blaming me!"

Huo Yuhao shook his head and handed over a grilled fish: "Eat up. The rest will take a long time to arrive."

"This...no one has booked it?"

Wang Dong swallowed hard.

"Look how conspicuous your hair is! I could spot you from way out of the corner! This is what's left for you... But are you planning to grow your hair long?"

Huo Yuhao glanced at Wang Dong, whose long hair almost reached her shoulders, with some surprise: "To be honest, this look suits you quite well, but at first glance you look a bit soft and weak, like a girl."

"What did you say?"

Not knowing which word he said wrong, Wang Dong suddenly got a little angry: "Do I look like a girl?!"
