--- Chapter 77 ---
After bathing in the private hot springs with Huang Yuna, Huo Yuhao brought the curious Qilin to the Self-Evolving Dungeon to pass a secret order.
Since most of the higher-ups and high-ranked members of Dragon Nest would go to the Highschool DxD's world, Huo Yuhao needed a solid wall to protect the Dragon Nest.
They arrived at the most distant area inside Advalon, the edge of the Self-Evolving Dungeon. The Auspicious Monarch, Huang Yuna, looked around curiously and nodded because no matter how much she visited this odd place, it was magical.
"So, what do you want from me?" Huang Yuna turned around and saw Huo Yuhao, who had a weak smile on his handsome face.
Huo Yuhao shook his head and answered, "I want you to protect the Dragon Nest from now on. Yuna, my next mission would cause the Dragon Nest to be weaker, but I know you have reached 1.000.000 years old."
[Name: Huang Yuna]
[Type: Divine-Blooded Spirit Beast]
[Age: 1.500.000 years old]
[Description: Huang Yuna is a Mythical Qilin that possesses the Divine Blood of all five Auspicious Beasts, having natural power over fundamental elements and laws that exceed her ancestors. She was the fated-to-be ultimate creature that stands on the Apex of all Spirit Beasts.]
[Yuna like Bread and Huo Yuhao the most in this world]
"Those eyes are surely amazing." The Mythical Qilin giggled while thinking about her meeting with Huo Yuhao. She was amused inside and allowed him to win regardless of their clashing luck, but he also read her trick. No, they are both cheating to win.
She stared at the young man before her and continued, "Oh well, I'll do my best, leader."
"The payment, though."
"I'll make bread for you." Huo Yuhao answered, which caught her off guard. Even though many people know this already, Huo Yuhao's cooking skill was matchless in the Dragon Nest's Community. The only person Huang Yuna knew that could defeat him in cooking was probably only Huo Yun'er.
"I'll make bread for Five years..."
"DEAL!" Huang Yuna's eyes shone excitedly while tackling Huo Yuhao to the ground. "Hehehe~! You get yourself a deal, Yuhao!"
Huo Yuhao chuckled because the Qilin was easier to tame than he thought. She drooled already when hearing he would make bread for her. "What a glutton." He commented while patting her head gently.
"Hmph, you're lucky because I'm such a generous Auspicious Beast." She pouted, which made her even cuter. "Here, I'll give you a lucky charm."
Huang Yuna reached her antlers and snapped the end part to create an artifact bestowed with her power. She clenched her hand and brought her mouth close to gently blow the broken antler with five elemental enhancements, creating a beautiful pendant.
[Name: Five Elemental Fortune Pendant]
[Type: Blessed Artifact/Spirit Bone]
[Age: 1.500.000 years old]
[Description: A portion of Mythical Qilin's Antler, possessing all fundamental five elements and great luck bestowed for the wearer]
[Innate Effect: Reduce Elemental Damages by 75% and Increase the wearer's luck by 50%]
Huang Yuna stretched the pendant's segment and wrapped it around Huo Yuhao's neck, kissing him on the lips. She hugged him and whispered, "I'll be waiting."
"It wouldn't take long." Huo Yuhao enveloped her thin waist and kissed her back.
...
...
Huo Yuhao and Huang Yuna went to the Dragon Nest's main base, Naga's Den. They walked to the house and met with Huo Yun'er, Qianye Ying'er, and Scathach again. After telling each other stories, they took a nap in the main bedroom.
Four hours passed quickly, and Huo Yuhao's senses returned to normal again because his mental prowess had recovered completely. He looked at his four beautiful partners and checked their overall strength.
[Name: Huo Yun'er]
[Age: 32]
[Race: Ancient Human, Divine Fox, Heavenly Spirit Woman]
[Cultivation: Level 130/1st Class God(No God Seat)]
[Martial Souls: Mystic Truth-Seeking Eyes(12+), Nine-Tailed Divine Fox(10+), Black Fan of Samsara(1+)]
[Power Level: Level 130.9/Highest Wild God]

[[Name: Qianye Ying'er]

[Race: Ancient Human(+), True Immortal(+), Progenitor Vampire(+)]
[Cultivation: Level 96/Hyper Douluo]
[Martial Souls: Gae Bolg Alternative(5+), Heaven Breaking Spear(9+)]
[Description: The reincarnated God Slayer and Warrior Queen with an extreme teacher-student fetish]
"You guys have become stronger. I'm so proud." Huo Yuhao said while caressing their silky hairs.
"Say that to yourself, Hao'er~!" Huo Yun'er curiously returned with a giggle because her son's strength exceeded her by somewhat of a landslide. Even though Huo Yun'er had reached the realm of a god, despite not having God Seat, the Divine Fox's primal instinct told her that Huo Yuhao could defeat her anytime.
Scathach also noticed that sensation from Huo Yuhao and continued, "Honestly. I have nothing to say besides, as expected of my disciple. You passed my newest training routine faster than earlier."
"I can't wait to feel your strength." She whispered somewhat sensually with battle intent. "It would be amazing~."
Qianye Ying'er shook her head because the mistress and teacher achieved a higher realm than her. After destroying and molding herself rapidly in the hellish training, She barely reached Title Douluo a day ago. However, that's also abnormal compared to others because Qianye Ying'er was a Spirit Emperor before going through the God Slayer Project.
"Don't be discouraged, Ying'er." Huo Yuhao calmly reassured the golden-haired girl. "You're achieving something impossible in the current era. And technically, the youngest Title Douluo ever recorded because Shishou and Me were a few months older than you."
"You're doing great." He patted her head gently.
Qianye Ying'er had never felt so comfortable because Huo Yuhao's praise was like music in her ears. She rested her head on his firm and broad chest, feeling the warmth rushing to her heart.
"Thank you, my lord~." She mumbled with a smile.
Growl~!
"Am I the only one hungry here?" Huang Yuna suddenly said while releasing a growling sound from her stomach. She blushed and made everyone laugh because only the gluttonous Qilin could break such tension.
Huo Yuhao rolled his sleeve and said, "Well, there is only a day left before our mission begins. Let's enjoy our time together."
"I'll cook something for us."
"Yey~!" Huang Yuna jumped on the bed excitedly.
...
...
After cooking for everyone, Huo Yuhao decided to check on the Shrek Academy because, unlike the Shadow Clone from Naruto Universe, Dark Avenger Clone was "spiritually." linked to him. So he knew a group of annoying people from the Qianye Clan had been knocking on Housing Dorm No.14's gate.
A young man named Sihan Tu, in particular, relentlessly challenged the exchange student from Dragon Nest to gain Qianye Ying'er attention. However, since Qianye Ying'er has been training the whole time in the Advalon to become God Slayer, she doesn't even care about this guy.
Even though Yan Shaozhe warned Qianye Clan's representatives not to create trouble and problems against the Dragon Nest, Sihan Tu didn't care and kept visiting Housing Dorm No.14 for five days straight. Sihan Tu thinks Shrek Academy isn't worth his attention because he has Qianye Clan to back him up. Not to mention Sihan Sect is well-known in the Star Luo Empire for raising talented seedlings.
"Ugh, that guy is still here?" Qianye Ying'er commented while walking out of the Wormholes Huo Yuhao created to visit Shrek Academy.
"Who?" Scathach munched on her sandwich.
"That clown? He doesn't look special."
Qianye Ying'er sighed and answered, "When I awakened the Battle Flag as my martial soul six years ago. My disgusting father lost hope in me and decided to sell my young beauty to a famous sect called Sihan Sect."
"He arranged a marriage between me and Sihan Sect's successor, Sihan Tu. He's quite talented for Douluo Continent's standard, but not worth mentioning in Dragon Nest because any advanced class student could kill him easily."
[Name: Sihan Tu]
[Age: 24]
[Race: Human]
[Cultivation: Level 55/Spirit King]
[Martial Soul: Jade-Swallowing Moon Serpent]
[Description: A fool who thinks with his lower head]
Sihan Tu is a handsome young man in his early twenties. He's around 179 centimeters with slick black hair held by a jade hairpin. He wore a golden robe with bold black characters of the Sihan Sect.
"He's twice your age?" Huo Yuhao said, to which Qianye Ying'er responded with a nod.
Qianye Ying'er lowered her amethyst-colored eyes to the front gate and replied, "I'll deal with him myself. No, killing him should be fine to warn Sihan Sect and Qianye Clan."
"Can I do that?"
"Sure, you can even declare war on them." Huo Yuhao coldly responded with a grin, which caused Scathach to gasp in excitement.
"E-Ehem, I supported Yuhao's decision. Go, Ying'er!" Scathach faked a cough.
Qianye Ying'er couldn't help but roll her eyes when seeing Scathach's reaction because she didn't even bother to hide it from Huo Yuhao anymore.
"Give me a few minutes." Qianye Ying'er disappeared from Huo Yuhao's room.
As Qianye Ying'er reached the front gate, Huo Yuhao smirked and commented, "Wanna bet?"
"What bet?" Scathach returned with a curious look.
"Well, simple. How many limbs do you think that guy would have after this." He whistled while leaning on the window, watching the whole area with Kenbunshoku Haki.
The God Slayer frowned and stated, "I'll trust my instinct and bet with Zero. He would lose all his four limbs."
"Five." Huo Yuhao shook his head.
"Eh??"
"That guy would lose all his five limbs."
