"Your Highness, what urgent matter do you wish to discuss with me?" Huo Yuhao asked with a wry smile.
Hearing Huo Yuhao's tone, Xu Jiujiu frowned, a hint of anger appearing on her beautiful face. "What? Can't I come to see you if there's nothing wrong?"
"Of course! Even if others wanted to, they wouldn't get this treatment!"
"Hmph! With such a silver tongue, he's fooled countless young girls!"
Although she was still sharp-tongued, the anger on her fair face gradually subsided, and even the words she spoke after a long time carried a hint of flirting.
Seeing that he had finally managed to get away with it, Huo Yuhao quickly asked, "Did Your Highness come here this time because of Luo Li?"
"You're such a good older brother, asking about your younger brother as soon as we met!"
Although Huo Yuhao wanted to deny it, aside from Dai Hao, who was an insignificant middleman, he did indeed have some brotherly affection for Dai Luoli.
"I handed the person over to you, not that I'm abandoning them! So, Princess Jiu Jiu, did you come here today to talk about something else?"
"Let's talk about Dai Luoli first. My elder brother plans to send him to the Star Luo Royal Soul Master Academy first, and then send him to the Northwest Army Group after graduation. What do you think? Do you have any other thoughts on this arrangement?"
Huo Yuhao pondered for a moment and said, "Luo Li's martial soul is a Blood Tiger, a mutation of the White Tiger martial soul from the Dai family. It adds agility of spiritual attributes to the original ferocity of the White Tiger martial soul. For this kind of martial soul to undergo a better mutation and complete the awakening of its spiritual origin, it needs appropriate spiritual stimulation. This is why I wanted him to directly study it."

"However, I can roughly guess His Majesty's thoughts. He's probably preparing to take action against the Northwest Army Group, isn't he?"
Xu Jiujiu was startled. Although her usual composure would not cause her to lose her composure, Huo Yuhao still keenly noticed the moment her pupils contracted.
"You're really something! You saw through my brother's plans just from the matter of Dai Luoli..."
Huo Yuhao smiled slightly and said, "So I don't object to your approach, but I hope you will arrange more mental stimulation for Luo Li's cultivation in the future. However, for the sake of your relationship, remember not to go too far, and it's best to tell him in advance, even if the effect will be greatly reduced."
"After all, you're not trying to cultivate a mere battlefield weapon, are you?"
After a long pause, he nodded approvingly, then asked, "So, Dai Luoli's martial soul mutation is because of you?"
Huo Yuhao nodded slightly, acknowledging the matter.
After a long pause, with an expression of complete understanding, he said, "Alright, let's leave it at that about your dear brother. There's another matter, which is the important point that your elder brother instructed me to explain to you."
Huo Yuhao was a little curious, but he didn't interrupt for long. Instead, he put on a show of listening attentively.
"My elder brother has compiled a list of the soul bones in the royal collection and asked me to bring it to you. You can choose any one as a gift. Of course, if you are interested, you can wait until after the competition and I will take you to the vault to choose at your leisure."
Huo Yuhao was a little dumbfounded. He stared blankly for a long time, too shocked to speak.
For him, whether it was targeting the White Tiger Duke's Mansion or arranging things for Dai Luoli, these were merely his own needs. It just so happened that these needs aligned with the Star Luo Royal Family's objectives, so Huo Yuhao never felt that the other party owed him anything.
When Xu Jiujiu suddenly arrived with lavish gifts from the Star Luo royal family, he hesitated. He wasn't a member of the royal family, nor a pillar of the Star Luo Empire, and he was now firmly bound to Shrek Academy. How could he accept this gift with a clear conscience?
"Princess Jiu Jiu, please convey my gratitude to His Majesty. However, Huo Yuhao feels unworthy of such a generous gift, and his conscience is troubled. I regret that I cannot accept it."
As he spoke, Huo Yuhao bowed slightly apologetically and took half a step back.
The siblings Xu Jiujiu and Xu Jiawei had already guessed before they arrived that Huo Yuhao was very likely to refuse, and they were prepared for this.
The Star Luo princess smiled and said, "If you had agreed immediately, my brother and I would have been hesitant to become close to you. Now that you've chosen to refuse, the Star Luo royal family is truly determined to be your friend! Yuhao, please allow me to address you this way! The Star Luo royal family will not ask you to leave Shrek Academy and join the royal family! We simply hope that in the future, we can have more heart-to-heart talks with you, and in the distant future, we can share joys and sorrows with you!"
Listening to Xu Jiujiu's heartfelt words, Huo Yuhao frowned slightly and tentatively asked, "Are you sure you want to gamble on me? Putting aside everything else, what if, because of me, the Star Luo Empire suffers unbearable consequences..."
Before Huo Yuhao could finish speaking, Xu Jiujiu took out a folding fan from her star-sapphire storage soul guide ring and gently pressed it against Huo Yuhao's mouth. Then, the princess boldly leaned forward, gently raising her head, her fair and beautiful face close to Huo Yuhao's, her breath audible...
Huo Yuhao stood frozen in place, not daring to move an inch.
Fortunately, their conversation was concealed by a simulated cover, and no one else witnessed this intimate scene.
"Yuhao, our Star Crown Clan has possessed a secret talent since ancient times: the ability to use our Martial Soul and bloodline to divine the future through astrological divination. Of course, the results obtained through this method are only vague omens, not specific details."
"When I first came into contact with you, my martial spirit already showed some uncontrollable abnormalities."
Afterwards, I took advantage of this unusual activity to seize the opportunity... This is one of the most important reasons why we are willing to befriend you so much... So, please promise me, don't refuse.
The stunningly beautiful woman was almost pressed against his chest, her delicate fragrance wafting towards Huo Yuhao with her long, drawn-out breath. Had he not been a seasoned veteran with astonishing willpower, he might have lost his composure on the spot.
Huo Yuhao's face flushed slightly. After a moment of stunned silence, he quickly took two steps back, supporting Xu Jiujiu's arms. He nodded slightly, his eyes darting around, and said, "Princess Jiujiu, I understand what you and His Majesty mean... Then after the competition, I'll go to the treasury with you... I won't look at the collection list yet; you can tell me about it later."
""
Xu Jiujiu's face was also flushed, but instead of pulling away from Huo Yuhao's hands, she stared intently into his eyes and said, "You trust me that much? Aren't you afraid I'll trick you into something?"
"Trust is mutual. Since you and His Majesty are willing to trust me so much, why should I remain so wary?"
