Douluo Continent: I, Huo Yuhao, have a Beast Taming Space

Chapter 53 What are you waiting for? Kneel down!
Seeing her blushing expression, Huo Yuhao knew he couldn't tease her any longer, or this senior might really lose her temper.

He released his grip at the opportune moment, took a half step back, creating some distance, but the smile on his face remained unchanged.

As soon as Ma Xiaotao was freed, she jumped back two steps like a startled rabbit, hurriedly tidying her not-so-disheveled clothes and hair. She glared fiercely at Huo Yuhao, but her eyes seemed to carry a hint of weakness beneath her tough exterior.

"Hmph! You brat, you've got some nerve! Daring to flirt with a senior!"

She tried to remain calm and regain her composure, patting her ample chest and attempting to project the image of a boss.

"From now on, I'll protect you at Shrek Academy!"

However, her still-rosy cheeks made her words sound less domineering and more adorable.

Huo Yuhao readily agreed, smiling and cupping his hands in thanks: "Then thank you very much, Sister Xiaotao, for looking after me."

Seeing his attitude, Ma Xiaotao was even more furious, but she couldn't retaliate, feeling that she would definitely embarrass herself if she stayed any longer.

She stamped her foot, as if she had made up her mind, and took out a small, crimson badge engraved with a phoenix pattern from her bosom, and put it into Huo Yuhao's hand.

"Take this! In the future... if your evil fire flares up again, or... or if you want to come to the inner courtyard to find me, you can use this to enter my residence directly!"

She finished speaking at lightning speed, not daring to look at Huo Yuhao's expression, and her fiery wings unfurled with a "boom" from behind.

"I...I'm leaving first!"

Before she finished speaking, she transformed into a red shadow, soaring into the sky and disappearing into the depths of the night in a few flashes.

Huo Yuhao looked down at the warm badge in his hand, then looked up at the direction where Ma Xiaotao had disappeared.

smiled.

They're gone...

When Huo Yuhao returned to the dormitory, he found Wang Dong sitting cross-legged on his bed, surrounded by a faint golden aura, meditating and recovering.

Hearing the door open, her long eyelashes fluttered, and she slowly opened her eyes.

Seeing that it was Huo Yuhao who had returned, he immediately asked with concern, "How did it go? Have you found out who ordered it?"

Huo Yuhao walked to her bedside.

"Dai Huabin."

"It sure is him!"

Wang Dong'er's pretty face instantly turned frosty, and she clenched her little fists angrily.

"That annoying guy! It's one thing for him to cause trouble for you in the academy, but this time he actually dared to use such despicable means, arranging for a Soul Emperor-level assassin to kill you! He's utterly lawless! We absolutely cannot let him get away with this!"

Seeing Wang Dong'er's indignant expression on his behalf, Huo Yuhao's anger subsided somewhat. He reached out and gently ruffled Wang Dong'er's long, light blue hair, comforting her.

"Don't worry, Dong'er. This time, I don't intend to let him off easily."

Wang Dong'er felt the warmth of his palm, her cheeks flushed slightly, but she didn't pull away. Instead, she looked up at Huo Yuhao with some confusion: "Yuhao, I always feel... that you and this Dai Huabin have more than just a simple conflict, it seems like there's a deep grudge between you?"

Huo Yuhao's eyes instantly turned deep, and he nodded.

"Yes, it's a fight to the death."

Those four simple words sent a chill down Wang Dong'er's spine; she could feel the deep-seated hatred in Huo Yuhao's words.

She didn't understand the root of this hatred, but she chose to stand unconditionally on Huo Yuhao's side.

She reached out her fair and soft hand and gently grasped Huo Yuhao's hand, her eyes resolute: "Yuhao, I don't know exactly what happened between you two, but since he is your enemy, he is my enemy too. If you need my help, be sure to tell me, and we'll face it together."

Feeling the warmth from his palm, Huo Yuhao's cold heart felt as if a warm stone had been thrown into it.

He grasped Wang Dong'er's soft little hand in return, the frost on his face melting away to reveal a confident and arrogant smile: "Hehe, don't worry, my Dong'er. Give me some time, and whether it's the White Tiger Duke's Mansion or Dai Huabin, I can make them vanish into thin air with a flick of my finger in the future."

His tone was calm, yet it contained immense confidence.

Seeing that Huo Yuhao had regained some of his former vigor, Wang Dong'er felt relieved. She blinked her beautiful eyes and asked with a hint of anticipation, "Then... shall we cultivate now?"

"Okay." The two smiled at each other and said no more. They sat cross-legged on the bed, their hands touching, and their soul power naturally began to circulate in their bodies, with faint golden and blue halos intertwining.

Silent all night.

Day two.

Du Weilun found Huo Yuhao and told him that Dai Huabin had been arrested.

Huo Yuhao smiled and looked at Wang Dong'er beside him.

"How about it, want to go see a play?"

Wang Dong'er chuckled.

"Hehe, I'm also very interested to see Dai Huabin kneeling down."

Du Weilun did not stop her, after all, Wang Dong'er was also one of the victims.

……

Upon entering the office, the atmosphere was solemn and heavy.

Yan Shaozhe sat upright in the main seat, his face ashen.

Du Weiren stood quietly to one side.

In the center of the office, Dai Huabin was standing.

At this moment, Dai Huabin's face was so pale that it was devoid of any color, and his eyes were sunken, clearly indicating that he had not slept well last night.

He clenched his teeth, his jawline taut, his eyes filled with fear, resentment, and a lingering hint of ruthlessness.

When he saw Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er walk in side by side, his sinister expression almost materialized and burst forth.

Huo Yuhao's gaze swept over Dai Huabin, a sneer curling at the corner of his lips, and he let out a clear sneer: "Oh, who is this? Isn't this our high and mighty son of the White Tiger Duke, Dai Huabin? Why do you look so pale? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

"you!"

Dai Huabin's forehead veins bulged, his fists were clenched so tightly that his fingernails almost dug into his flesh.

He had never been so humiliated.
But when he caught a glimpse of Yan Shaozhe, who sat expressionless, and Du Weilun, whose eyes were icy cold, he could only swallow back his anger and humiliation, squeezing out a few words through gritted teeth: "Huo Yuhao... don't be too smug!"

Huo Yuhao was too lazy to argue with him anymore. He walked over to the side as if no one else was there, pulled up a chair, sat down with an air of superiority, and even casually crossed his legs.

He raised his chin, his tone flippant.

"What are you waiting for? Kneel down."

These few simple words struck Dai Huabin's heart like a heavy hammer.

His body trembled violently, and his face turned from white to green, then from green to red.

He stared intently at Huo Yuhao, his eyes bloodshot, his gaze so venomous it seemed he wanted to devour Huo Yuhao alive.

The office was deathly silent; everyone was staring at Dai Huabin.

Time passed second by second, and Dai Huabin's breathing became increasingly heavy.

In the end, under Yan Shaozhe's invisible pressure and Huo Yuhao's cold gaze, all his pride and dignity were crushed.

He closed his eyes, as if using up all his strength, and his legs went weak. With a "thud," he knelt straight down on the cold floor.

This kneeling seemed to drain all his energy and spirit.

He lowered his head and squeezed out three words from deep in his throat.

"I was wrong!"
