Chapter 250: Kidnapping
Just as Huo Yuhao was about to take things a step further, with his waist sash already undone, a snow-white hand stopped him.
“Are you in such a hurry?”
Xue Di looked both embarrassed and angry. This guy was really taking liberties.
“Don’t blame me, Xue’er. You’re so charming that any man would lose control,” Huo Yuhao said with a troubled expression.
“Xue’er, do you know, you’re like the wind, sometimes there and sometimes not, as if you could disappear at any moment. I desperately want to hold onto you, to keep you here.”
Xue Di’s eyes softened upon hearing this, and a hint of confusion flickered within them. She even had a thought: since she would never like anyone else anyway, what would be wrong with giving in to him now? It was only a matter of time anyway.
No, why would I think like that? Xue Di suddenly woke up, feeling a chill on her body. She looked down and saw that her dress had already been pulled open, revealing a large expanse of her snow-white skin. Her beautiful face instantly flushed red, and she kicked the mischievous man off the bed.
Pulling the blanket over herself to cover her body, Xue Di was furious. She realized that Huo Yuhao wasn’t just taking liberties, but was also adept at undressing people. Shameless!
She understood. Huo Yuhao’s hand-holding and kissing from the beginning were all tests of her bottom line. It was her indulgence that had allowed this guy to take such liberties, to the point of revealing his true nature just now.
“You go sleep on the sofa, and behave yourself.”
Xue Di snorted coldly. If she hadn’t reacted in time just now, she probably would have been taken advantage of by this guy.
“Xue’er, it’s so cold. Are you really going to be so heartless as to make me sleep on the sofa?” Huo Yuhao pretended to be aggrieved.
However, Xue Di remained unmoved. For someone with an Ultimate Ice Martial Soul to say they were afraid of the cold? Did he think she was stupid? This person was truly shameless.
Seeing Xue Di’s reaction, Huo Yuhao knew that what had just happened was already her absolute limit. In fact, Xue Di guessed correctly. He was testing her bottom line step by step. He wasn’t expecting to succeed in one go.
But if one or two steps are rejected, is a third step far behind?
Xue Di, who had just lain down, suddenly felt a slight spatial fluctuation in the room. Looking again, Huo Yuhao’s figure was gone.
Did he get angry?
Xue Di pondered slightly, feeling that she might have been a little too unsympathetic. But she really couldn’t accept Huo Yuhao so quickly.
Could that guy have gone to find Bing’er? Involuntarily, Xue Di had such a thought, and when she thought of this possibility, she felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
Am I… jealous? Xue Di quickly realized her abnormality, and her expression instantly became extremely complicated.
Meanwhile, after leaving the hotel, Huo Yuhao arrived at a residential courtyard in the eastern district.
As soon as he pushed open the gate, someone came up to greet him. “Subordinate Zhu Shan greets Young Master.”
“Yes.” Zhu Shan responded and led Huo Yuhao towards the backyard.
The detention location was in the woodshed in the backyard. After Huo Yuhao entered, he saw four people. The older one was a slightly chubby middle-aged man. Unlike his two sons, this guy had a ruddy complexion, a broad body, and solid muscles, but he didn’t appear bloated. It seemed he hadn’t been emptied out by wine and women.
The other two were naturally the guys who had caused trouble for Xue Di earlier today and whose lower bodies had been broken by Huo Yuhao. Besides these three, there was also a five- or six-year-old boy. The little guy had some courage, glaring at Huo Yuhao and Zhu Shan with hateful eyes.
“No wonder they were so arrogant. So they had a Soul Douluo as their backer.” Huo Yuhao sized up the Spirit Treasure Chamber of Commerce’s president with interest.
“Mmm! Mmm!” The Spirit Treasure Chamber of Commerce’s president, Zhou Qi, struggled, as if wanting to say something, but his mouth was stuffed with a rag, and he could only make muffled sounds.
“Let him speak.”
“Yes.” Hearing Huo Yuhao’s instructions, Zhu Shan stepped forward and removed the rag from Zhou Qi’s mouth.
“Huff, huff, Body Sect, this is the Heavenly Soul Imperial City. I have no grievances or enmities with you. What do you want?” Zhou Qi said after taking a few deep breaths, attempting to seize the initiative.
Zhou Qi looked indignant, and Huo Yuhao saw that his expression didn’t seem fake. He glanced at the young man who had caused trouble for him and Xue Di during the day, and the latter’s eyes darted around.
Huo Yuhao immediately understood. It turned out that Zhou Qi was still in the dark.
“Interesting. Your son has repeatedly come to cause trouble for me. And you’re telling me we have no grievances or enmities?”
Huo Yuhao said slowly, his tone playful.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Qi’s gaze swept towards his sons. The youngest son was still young and couldn’t possibly be involved in this matter. The second son had his legs broken a few months ago and had long lost the ability to go out and cause trouble.
Then there was only the eldest son. When his father looked over, the eldest son deeply lowered his head, not daring to meet his gaze, like a child who had done something wrong.
Seeing that his elder brother was the one who had caused the trouble, the second son immediately revealed a look of grief and indignation. He felt that this was purely an undeserved disaster. It was clearly his elder brother who had caused the trouble, so why was he also kidnapped?
In these large families, it was common for brothers to turn against each other for the sake of property. The second son naturally wouldn’t care about brotherly affection.
He was even secretly delighted that his elder brother had provoked such a tough opponent, so that his elder brother’s position in his father’s heart would plummet, and his own opportunities would greatly increase. But now it was different, he had also been kidnapped, which was a bit bad.
Just as he was lamenting his bad luck, he heard Huo Yuhao speak again.
“Don’t look so wronged. Take a closer look at who I am.”
As soon as he finished speaking, in everyone’s sight, a burst of white light flashed in Huo Yuhao’s position. Then the handsome young man disappeared, replaced by a bloated middle-aged old man with a big bald head, small eyes, a face full of橫肉 [flesh], a small mustache under his nose shaped like the character 八 [eight], and lips that were big and thick, as if stuffed with two large sausages.
“It’s, it’s you. You’re the one who injured Xiao Liu.” This time, Zhou Qi recognized Huo Yuhao, and his voice trembled a little. Zhou Qi had learned clearly from his second son about the beginning and end of that incident, knowing that that useless thing wanted to seize someone else’s woman.
He had even hired a painter to draw Huo Yuhao and Tang Ya, who had changed their appearances using simulation soul skills at the time, in order to vent his anger for his son.
But he never expected that the person his son provoked was actually from the Body Sect, and was also coveting their woman. Wasn’t he tired of living?
“Lord, Lord, my son is unruly and has offended you. I have failed to educate him and deserve to be punished. If you want to kill or cut, I have no complaints. I only ask you to spare my youngest son. He’s only five years old and hasn’t done anything wrong.”
“You’re quite the good father.” Huo Yuhao chuckled and turned to look at the little boy, who responded with an unyielding look of anger.
“Look, do you think that if I let him go today, he won’t think about revenge in the future? Rather than that, wouldn’t it be more direct to eliminate the root of the problem?”
The young man spoke extremely cruel words in the calmest tone. Zhu Shan stepped forward, his soul power surging, ready to send this group on their way.
“No, no!”
Zhou Qi looked at his youngest son, tears streaming down his face, wailing miserably. He presented a tragic scene of being forced to lose his family.
Huo Yuhao treated him coldly. This world was like this, the strong eat the weak, and the fittest survive. If he didn’t have some strength, he would have been lying dead on the streets the first time he met these people from the Spirit Treasure Chamber of Commerce.
