With his striking looks and ethereal temperament, the parallel-world Huo Yuhao had already left Meng Hongchen with an excellent first impression.
And that was without even mentioning the gentle smile that appeared on his face the moment he opened his mouth to speak.
That kind of harmless, soft, almost adorable demeanor was simply far too disarming.
It dealt massive emotional damage to Meng Hongchen.
[At this moment, Meng Hongchen was practically blooming with delight.]
[She hurriedly said to Huo Yuhao, "Thank you so much, little brother Yuhao. If you hadn't stepped in just now, I really wouldn't know what I would've done. I must repay you properly this time."]
[Hearing this, Huo Yuhao smiled gently and replied, "It's nothing. When you see injustice, you help. Besides, with such a beautiful sister, how could I possibly have the heart not to step in and save her?"]
[Meng Hongchen smiled even more foolishly upon hearing this. "Oh my~ Little brother Yuhao, you really know how to talk!"]
On the screen, Huo Yuhao and Meng Hongchen were chatting happily together.
However, within the cracks of the planes, Xiao Hongchen couldn't help but be covered in black lines when he saw this scene.
Unlike Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen beside him—who were clearly delighted to see Meng Hongchen getting along so well with the parallel-world Huo Yuhao—
Xiao Hongchen felt extremely uncomfortable.
With a sour tone, he said, "Meng, you're being lovestruck again."
Meng Hongchen immediately became unhappy upon hearing this."What do you mean lovestruck? I'm just grateful!"
"He saved me, you know! Of course I should thank him properly. And he's so polite too."
"Honestly, compared to the parallel-world Huo Yuhao, the Huo Yuhao over here is way too much of a steel-straight guy."
Xiao Hongchen couldn't be bothered to continue arguing with her.
Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao himself couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
Was this what they called getting shot even while lying down?
At the side, Wang Dong'er snorted dissatisfiedly and said,"Now this is where I really have to criticize parallel-world Yuhao. Why is he getting so close to that woman? Doesn't he already have the parallel-world me?"
"On this point, my Yuhao did it better."
"Even if he's a bit of a straight man, straight men have their own advantages."
Huo Yuhao: "…"
"Is that… a compliment?"
The group continued to look toward the screen.
And at this moment, on the screen—
[After that, Huo Yuhao escorted Meng Hongchen for another stretch of the journey, leaving the Extreme North.]
[However, once they reached the town, Huo Yuhao no longer continued riding on the Ice Empress.]
[Or rather, he directly had the Ice Empress enter the Ancient Wood Space to rest.]
[After all, this was no longer the Extreme North. If they happened to encounter a Soul Sage or higher-level soul master, they might be able to see through the Ice Empress's true form.]
[Huo Yuhao didn't want to cause trouble for the time being, so he temporarily let the Ice Empress stay inside the Ancient Wood Space.]
[The Ice Empress didn't really mind either. As long as she could stay by Yuhao's side, she didn't care much about what else she was asked to do.]
[After arriving in town, Huo Yuhao quickly began looking for an inn together with Meng Hongchen.]
[However, this town was quite small. The entire place only had a single inn, and there wasn't even a hospital.]
[So after renting two rooms, Huo Yuhao could only help Meng Hongchen treat her injuries himself.]
[After receiving treatment with the medicines Huo Yuhao carried with him, Meng Hongchen was clearly surprised and couldn't help asking, "Little brother Yuhao, are you a doctor?"]
[Huo Yuhao shook his head with a smile. "That would be exaggerating it. I only know some basic bandaging and wound treatment."]
["After all, when you're traveling, you never know when you might get injured, so I deliberately learned these things beforehand."]
[Meng Hongchen exclaimed repeatedly, "So that's how it is… I never even thought about things like that. Little brother Yuhao, you're not only smart, you're a little genius too—there's so much you know."]
Xiao Hongchen: "Simp."
Meng Hongchen: "Stop yelling! This is called gratitude!"
[After that, Huo Yuhao put his medicines back into his soul tool.]
[Then, he began moving toward his true objective.]
[Whether it was saving Meng Hongchen earlier, or bringing her to town and treating her injuries just now—]
[All of it had been preparation on Huo Yuhao's part.]
[He had roughly guessed that Meng Hongchen was from the Sun Moon Empire, so he wanted to obtain some information from her, and he was also quite interested in her soul tools.]
[That was why he had spent so long laying the groundwork and continuously building goodwill with Meng Hongchen.]
[Now, he felt that the goodwill had been built up enough, so it was time to move on to the next step.]
[He had someone bring up food.]
[In front of outsiders, Huo Yuhao never lacked manners, nor did he ever appear stingy.]
[So when he ordered the food, he made sure to get good dishes with meat.]
[Although it was a bit expensive, it wouldn't come off as shabby.]
[After the waiter delivered the food, Huo Yuhao said gently to Meng Hongchen, "Sister Meng, it's just simple food. Please bear with it—this town is rather small."]
[Meng Hongchen's fondness for Huo Yuhao immediately increased even further.]
[After that, the two chatted casually while eating.]
[During this process, Huo Yuhao fully demonstrated his powerful social skills.]
[The topics shifted constantly, keeping Meng Hongchen thoroughly entertained.]
[And he wasn't just chatting aimlessly—each time the conversation went on, it would subtly and deliberately steer toward the direction he wanted.]
[By the time they were nearly finished with the meal, Meng Hongchen's background had already been completely figured out by Huo Yuhao.]
[Huo Yuhao now knew that the girl before him was indeed from the Sun Moon Empire.]
[Moreover, she was from the Sun Moon Royal Academy, and her status there was not low at all. Jing Hongchen of the Sun Moon Royal Academy was her grandfather.]
[As a result, new plans immediately began to form in Huo Yuhao's mind.]
[On the other hand, as for Meng Hongchen—]
[After finishing this meal, she still didn't know which faction Huo Yuhao belonged to. She didn't even know that he was currently a student of Shrek Academy.]
[It could be said that she hadn't grasped a single solid piece of information about him.]
This scene once again made the people within the cracks of the planes twitch the corners of their mouths.
Especially those from the Sun Moon Empire.
Kong Deming said, "As expected, it turned out like this again. Don't be fooled by that harmless appearance of his—everything about him is an act."
"If you really think he's harmless, you're done for. He'll sell you out, and you'll still be counting money for him."
Jing Hongchen sighed deeply."Sigh… Xiao Meng, you really need to be more careful!"
"Thankfully, he doesn't have any ill intentions toward you. Otherwise, you'd be completely finished!"
