FE—Chapter 113: Pink Blue? Close the Restaurant!
The young man in the wheelchair noticed Juzi's reaction and asked with a gentle smile on his face, "Juzi, do you know these people who run the barbecue restaurant?"
Juzi had always been delicate in her heart, and she was even more cautious when facing the Crown Prince.
However, she didn't have to worry about responding to this question. After all, Hongchen's siblings were also present, and they were all students of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, so they shared a friendship.
Juzi looked towards the back kitchen of the barbecue restaurant, smiled, and said calmly, "Your Highness, you should know those two. They are the grandchildren of Jing Hongchen, the head of Illustrious Virtue Hall."
"As for the boy who is grilling fish, he is my junior. He followed Teacher Xuan in the laboratory last semester. We studied together for some time."
"If Your Highness has paid attention to school affairs, you should know more or less about him. He is very talented and broke Xiao Hongchen's record. It seems that... he has been accepted as a disciple by the head of Illustrious Virtue Hall."
When Juzi said this, she thought of Meng Hongchen, who was always ready to eat young grass. She slowly shook her head, adjusted her thin-framed glasses, and felt a slight ache in her teeth for some reason.
However, her smooth and moist cheeks, rich in collagen, still had their iconic lazy and innocent look.
The young man in the wheelchair thought about the information in Juzi's words and believed it was normal; he didn't care too much, smiling indifferently.
"I haven't paid much attention to the academy's affairs recently, but next semester... the All-Continental Fighting Soul Competition will be held soon, so I should pay attention to it."
"But the junior you mentioned can break Xiao Hongchen's record. His talent is really impressive."
Juzi hummed lightly. "He, like Hongchen's siblings, was selected as a reserve player for this competition."
"This business method is interesting—two skeletons are skewered on bamboo sticks for dinner. This fits the style of evil soul masters. It doesn't look like an act. Let's go and take a look."
The young man in the wheelchair spoke in a gentle and calm tone. He had heard that the head of Illustrious Virtue Hall had sternly asked evil soul masters not to involve the school.
But the aura of these two skeletons was more authentic than that of evil soul masters and was entirely the means of evil soul masters.
Jing Hongchen couldn't have accepted a talented evil soul master as a disciple.
He controlled the wheelchair and came to the kitchen slowly. His eyes fell on Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, and he nodded and smiled.
"I didn't expect that the grandchildren of the Hongchen Hall Master would be so interested in opening a barbecue restaurant here."
Juzi also felt a little strange when she saw several skeletons busy grilling. This was truly a path she had never considered.
Xiao Hongchen noticed them as soon as the two entered the restaurant, but he didn't go up to say hello. Now that the other party took the initiative to come over, he felt it was right to follow the most basic etiquette.
Xiao Hongchen stopped grilling skewers and approached them. He smiled and said, "Haha, nice to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"It's just for fun. Grandpa said that this place is not very tolerant of ordinary soul engineers. I don't believe in evil, so I came here with a few friends to open a barbecue restaurant. So far, the experience has been good."
The young man in the wheelchair waved his hand and smiled. "No need to be polite. Even though the people here are special, after all, we are in Mingdu City, and there will be no problem with basic public security."
"Hey, isn't this Junior Yuhao?"
Juzi looked surprised to see Huo Yuhao. She adjusted her thin-framed glasses and blinked her watery eyes, looking silly and cute.
"Senior Juzi?"
Huo Yuhao turned his head to look over, surprised as well, and went to greet Xiao Hongchen.
He had already guessed who the young man in the wheelchair was and casually greeted him: "Hello, would you like something to eat?"
Juzi thought for a moment, a bit of surprise in her eyes, and said softly, "Yuhao, I didn't expect you to grill fish. I saw the barbecue for customers in the restaurant with the help of the skeletons. Can you grill some for me?"
Huo Yuhao laughed. "I am teaching these skeletons how to grill skewers. If it succeeds, I won't have to look after the restaurant myself in the future."
Xiao Hongchen glanced at Juzi, moved closer to Huo Yuhao's ear, and transmitted his voice with soul power.
"Yuhao, the man in the wheelchair is none other than the Sun Moon Empire's Crown Prince, Xu Tianran. You can grill some for them to deal with it."
Xu Tianran's eyes fell on Huo Yuhao, and he frowned slightly. It had nothing to do with the barbecue restaurant or Juzi, but because he felt the suppression from the dragon aura in Huo Yuhao.
His Purple Brilliant Sky-Destroying Dragon Martial Soul, along with the level of his dragon bloodline, was supreme among sub-dragons.
Not to mention the Sun Moon Empire, even in the entire Douluo Continent, it is difficult to find a dragon-type martial soul that can suppress him in terms of aura.
What kind of martial soul does this Junior Juzi have? He suppressed his Purple Brilliant Sky-Destroying Dragon. Could it be a real dragon martial soul?
Xu Tianran fell into brief contemplation, and after a moment, the expression on his face turned into a light smile.
"Yuhao, I heard from Juzi that you are doing very well in the academy. Dean Hongchen's Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy is very happy to welcome a talented student like you…"
Xu Tianran talked a lot before asking the question he wanted to ask.
"Yuhao, does your martial soul have any dragon aura?"
Huo Yuhao pondered for a moment, considering how to respond.
He did not release the aura of the Ancient Void Dragon. Even if he restrained it, Xu Tianran's so-called sub-dragon ancestor, the Purple Brilliant Sky-Destroying Dragon, would still feel suppressed under the significant gap.
Xiao Hongchen rolled his eyes, took a half step forward, stretched out his arm to block Huo Yuhao, and spoke first.
"Your Highness, since Yuhao is so valued by Grandpa and has been personally accepted as a disciple, his talent must be good." Xiao Hongchen spoke with a self-boasting look. "My three-legged golden toad martial soul is, in a way, also a divine beast martial soul, and is much more advanced than the evil-eyed white tiger and the evil fire phoenix... and Yuhao's talent is even stronger than mine, so it shouldn't be surprising that he has a dragon-like aura."
Although Huo Yuhao did not formally show him the opportunity he got during the holiday when he came back this time, Xiao Hongchen thought for a moment and realized that Xu Tianran's question must be related to dragons. Moreover, with Huo Yuhao's talent, the Chilling Bone Flame that surpassed the ultimate ice and ultimate fire, in Xiao Hongchen's view, it was not surprising that he could absorb a sub-dragon-level ice and fire dragon.
As for how Huo Yuhao found such a great opportunity alone and successfully got it, just look at the blonde girl with a spear beside him.
This blonde girl with a spear had an extraordinary identity. Maybe she was a daughter of heaven who came out to train from a hidden sect.
Additionally, she seemed to have a close relationship with Huo Yuhao. With her help, it is understandable that Huo Yuhao received the opportunity at the sub-dragon level.
Xiao Hongchen's answer not only confirmed that Huo Yuhao had a dragon bloodline but also blocked Xu Tianran's words. He revealed the relationship between Huo Yuhao and Illustrious Virtue Hall to him so that the other party would not harbor any bad intentions.
Xu Tianran still smiled warmly after listening to Xiao Hongchen's words and sat in the wheelchair calmly, giving an approachable impression.
"Since Yuhao has such high talent, we must not waste his potential. Not specializing in the cultivation of blood would be a waste of talent."
As he spoke, Xu Tianran took out a large mahogany box from the storage soul guidance device. The decoration on the outside looked exquisite, but once opened, there were various sizes of the same kinds of spiritual medicines in disarray.
Xu Tianran took out a large one from it and looked at Huo Yuhao, saying gently, "These spiritual medicines are all dragon soul grass. Don't think that they are not valuable just because I put them in the wooden box casually."
Xu Tianran examined a dragon soul grass in his hand and said slowly, "Each dragon soul grass is extremely rare. I just collected them all here."
"According to records, they are all born from the dragon's power." After Xu Tianran emphasized the rarity of the dragon soul grass, he requested Juzi to retrieve Huo Yuhao's information from the school.
"Spiritual eyes, spiritual martial soul, and now Xiao Hongchen said that it also has dragon breath…"
Xu Tianran looked at the soul guidance screen in front of him, with some doubts in his eyes. Could it be that his spirit eye martial soul has mutated?
After he briefly understood Huo Yuhao's basic information, his face showed an intriguing expression, which made Xiao Hongchen and others think that he wanted to recruit Huo Yuhao.
"This dragon soul grass has a very good effect on spiritual attributes and dragon breath. Because it was born from the dragon's power, taking it can increase the pressure of the dragon's breath little by little."
Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes and smiled a few times. "Your Highness, possessing such a treasure is truly gratifying."
Xu Tianran showed a friendly smile and handed the dragon soul grass in his hand to Huo Yuhao.
"Yuhao, if you cook a barbecue for me and Juzi, I will give you this dragon soul grass as a reward for outstanding students. How about it?"
Huo Yuhao pursed his lips. To be honest, he didn't care about the dragon soul grass of Douluo Dalu. He didn't need to think about it to know that it couldn't improve the bloodline of the ancient void dragon.
And when it comes to dragon spiritual medicine, the Silver Dragon King has much more than Xu Tianran.
Xiao Hongchen knew that it was time to help his future brother-in-law accept the dragon soul grass. He decisively reached out to take the spirit grass handed over by Xu Tianran and thanked him with a smile.
"I thank His Highness for the gift on behalf of Yuhao!"
Xu Tianran contributed good things, so he didn't refuse. After Xiao Hongchen took it, he quickly put the dragon soul grass into the storage soul guidance device and prepared to give it to Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao saw this and naturally agreed to the other party's request to grill the skewers himself. "No problem, Your Highness, what do you want to eat?"
Xu Tianran saw Xiao Hongchen accept the dragon soul grass. Although it was not the most ideal situation and he did not let Huo Yuhao accept it, it was acceptable for Xiao Hongchen to take it away. He would also need the support of Illustrious Virtue Hall in the future.
As for what to eat, he turned back to look at Juzi.
Juzi counted on her fingers and whispered, "Three grilled fish, forty skewers of lamb, fifty skewers of beef... all slightly spicy."
Huo Yuhao nodded in response while controlling several skeletons to help him prepare the ingredients.
After Xu Tianran ordered, he controlled the wheelchair to exit the kitchen, found a seat at random, and waited for the meal to be served.
Juzi looked at Huo Yuhao preparing the skewers, tapped her lips, and pondered for a while.
"Yuhao, how about I help you research an automatic soul guidance instrument so that the bamboo sticks can automatically string the meat together?"
"This way, the soul guidance device can achieve full automation, which is much more convenient than your skeletons!"
Huo Yuhao looked back at her and felt that she had a lot of ideas. She was indeed praised by Xuan Ziwen as a very creative disciple.
"At present, a few skeletons are enough, and Sister Juzi, don't you think that my method is very suitable for the atmosphere here?"
Juzi held her eyes and smiled softly, tacitly agreeing with Huo Yuhao's words.
Any evil soul master who came in and saw a few skeletons busy grilling skewers for food would feel that they were in the right place.
Just from the way he controlled the skeletons, they would know that the other party was an evil soul master with profound evil soul power.
Juzi immediately walked out of the kitchen and sat down in the restaurant, waiting for Huo's grilled fish that reminded her of her father's taste from the original book.
In the barbecue restaurant, any well-known evil soul master knew who the young man in the wheelchair was, and their actions of drinking and eating skewers became a little restrained.
Soon, one of the well-known evil soul masters, the Death God Envoy, checked out and left the barbecue restaurant.
…
On a street near Illustrious Virtue Hall.
"Wang Dong, we have walked several streets, but we haven't found Huo Yuhao's Huo Ran Cheerful BBQ restaurant. Is he not open yet?"
Xiao Xiao was a little discouraged. After she and Wang Dong learned some information about Huo Yuhao from the students who stayed at the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, they went to the surrounding streets to look for barbecue restaurants.
But after a few hours, they found nothing.
Wang Dong's pink-blue eyes revealed some thoughtfulness. "It shouldn't be. The student just told us that Huo Yuhao might be kept by the rich lady Miss Meng from Illustrious Virtue Hall."
"Logically, the barbecue restaurant should be near Illustrious Virtue Hall. How come we can't find it?"
Wang Dong had prepared a lot of gold soul coins. After finding the barbecue restaurant, she would directly knock Meng Hongchen unconscious and kidnap Huo Yuhao.
But now she couldn't even find him, and her huge wealth was useless.
Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao were deep in thought when they suddenly saw two men in black robes walking across the street.
"The newly opened Huo Ran Cheerful BBQ restaurant tastes good. It was well received by evil soul masters on the first day of opening. When you succeed in Star Luo Empire, I will treat you to a good meal!"
"Don't worry, don't you know about the corpse explosion of this Envoy? It is so powerful that no matter who comes to the door, they will never return."
Wang Dong caught the keywords, her eyes lit up, and she walked forward happily to communicate with the two men in black robes.
A few dozen minutes later, in the Holy Moon District of Mingdu, Huo Ran Cheerful BBQ restaurant, Huo Yuhao had just served grilled fish and skewers to Juzi when he was stunned to see something at the door.
From a distance, he spotted a touch of pink-blue, with a light green figure walking this way with great interest.
Hmm? What the hell?
Huo Yuhao rubbed his eyes.
Pink-blue?!
Huo Yuhao turned around without hesitation, as if struck by lightning, and hurried back to the kitchen of the barbecue restaurant. "Brother Xiao, hurry up, there is a special situation—close the restaurant!"
