Douluo: Peerless Fight Tian Yuhao

Chapter 97 Past and Present, Overlapping Trajectories

In the evening, Xu Jiujiu and Huo Yuhao came to a spacious garden courtyard in the imperial palace. After special arrangements, it has been transformed into an open-air banquet place.

The scene of the banquet was brightly lit, and the melodious music echoed under the playing of professionals.

Beautiful waiters in sexy business attire, with intoxicating smiles, carrying trays for wine glasses, shuttled back and forth among the rustling stream of people.

Some guests whose eyes revealed silent debauchery glanced back and forth at the waiter's figure from time to time, and then hid their gazes very well. No one came forward to make a move, and they were polite when the wine glasses were served. Say "thank you".

Just kidding, this is a dinner held by the lord of a country, it's too late to perform well, how dare you bring your usual slutty energy here.

Xu Jiujiu bid farewell to Huo Yuhao briefly and walked to Xu Jiawei's side. When Xu Jiawei saw the protagonist of the dinner arriving, he cleared his throat and the leader stood up from his seat. The conversation scene suddenly became quiet.

"Welcome everyone to the court dinner. In this competition, my Star Luo Empire is..."

"........."

"Finally, please enjoy the food and drinks. I believe it will be a wonderful and enjoyable evening."

After Xu Jiawei's impassioned speech ended, the guests and the host had a good time, and everyone present melted into the atmosphere of the banquet. Men and women talked and laughed, and those who were more active walked around to show their extraordinary social skills. A group of beautiful dancers came on stage, spinning Jumping, eyebrows with spring.

lounge.

"Pfft."

Huo Yuhao sat down heavily on the soft sofa, and lay on his back with his arms spread out, looking exhausted.

"I'm so tired talking to so-called upper class people!"

Net worth determines a person's social circle. Those who are eligible to attend this dinner must be at least earls and above, or people at the level of chief or deputy city lords in medium-sized or large cities.

The level these people are at is already at the top of the Star Luo Empire. Ordinary dignitaries, powerful people, and wealthy people have no qualifications to set foot here.

And Huo Yuhao, who entered the arena together with Jiu Jiujiu, naturally attracted the attention of these high-ranking people. What's more, he learned that the two had entered and left the Star Luo Royal Academy together through the mouths of his juniors at home. Aroused the temptation.

Ever since, Huo fell into a personal conversation sadly, which was very troublesome.

She sat down lazily for a long time, lifted up her long skirt, and laid her long, white, round legs on her side on the sofa. She propped up her head with her left hand, maintaining a comfortable posture, and showed it to Huo Yuhao without hesitation. Alluring graceful figure.

For a long time, he arched his eyebrows and looked at Huo Yuhao, who was not feeling well, with a smile, as if he wanted to engrave his depressed expression in his mind.

【Which... is the real you? 】

"Have you been dealing with this kind of life all these years? Are you tired?" Huo Yuhao's voice came suddenly, and he was slightly taken aback for a long time. There was a moment of deep bitterness in his expression, but she quickly covered it up.

"As a member of the royal family, these are just the obligations that should be fulfilled while enjoying the rights brought by the royal family status since childhood."

"Since I can remember, I have been studying court etiquette. After the age of six, the awakening of the martial spirit made me devote almost all my time and energy, just to meet the expectations of the emperor and the elders."

"Although I am not qualified to say such a thing, I still want to say: I want to be a girl from an ordinary family more than a princess."

Jiujiujiu's voice became lower and lower, and mist filled his eyes. Huo Yuhao looked at the girl in front of him with pity, his voice was softer than ever before: "Jiujiujiu, in the past ten years, you have never thought about going there. The life you desire?”

He wiped away his tears without trace for a long time, and recalled in his eyes: "Yes, when I was about 12 years old, I took advantage of the college vacation to sneak away to another direction of Xingluo City, and Not going back to the palace as usual."

"Of course, I was caught by the guards in the end, but she did not send me back to the palace immediately, but let me relax for a day. Finally, I ran to the slum where we first met, and there I met It’s a completely different scene.”

"Perhaps it was because of what I saw in the poor kiln that I was able to continue. Compared with the suffering people there, everything I experienced is really nothing."

"Oh, yes, Zero, I told you that the first time I went to the poor kiln, what impressed me the most was a strange little brother. He was completely different from other sufferers in the poor kiln, and there were many stories hidden in his eyes. Woolen cloth."

"What impressed me even more was his grilled fish, which was delicious, and the taste was really unique, completely different from the delicacies prepared by the royal chef in the palace."

Listening to Xu Jiujiu's unscrupulous sharing of her past, Huo Yuhao's heart was violently touched and he smiled softly: "You haven't eaten anything since the dinner just now. You must be hungry. Is there a kitchen? I'll get it for you. Make a meal.”

After looking Huo Yuhao up and down for a long time, he asked curiously: "Can you cook?"

Huo Yuhao smiled without saying a word. He suppressed the curiosity in his heart for a long time, and led him into the kitchen closest to the lounge. Then, Huo Yuhao gently pushed him out of the door with the reason that "the unique recipe should not be passed on".

The curiosity of a woman has been completely aroused for a long time. She took a few sips of the drink on the table. While waiting, a strong aroma gradually came.

"Hmm~ It smells so good. Is it possible that this guy really knows how to cook?"

About a quarter of an hour later, Huo Yuhao came over with a plate. A fragrant golden grilled fish was placed in the center of the pure white plate.

The grilled fish was placed on the table. After Huo Yuhao handed him a pair of chopsticks, he couldn't wait to try it for a long time. He said in surprise: "Ling, you are really good at cooking, and this grilled fish... this grilled fish..."

"It tastes exactly the same as the one you ate a few years ago, right?"

Nodding blankly for a long time, memories flooded her mind, and in her sight, the figure of the person in front of her was constantly overlapping with the boy with lions in his eyes in her memory.

[No wonder, when I first saw you in the slum kiln, I felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. 】

[No wonder, when Grandma Manyi took offense when trading the Golden Yun Lingguo, you didn't take it to heart, and generously gave up on pursuing it. 】

[It turns out... the fate between us started so long ago. 】

Staring at each other, Huo Yuhao extended his right hand to Xu Jiujiu. His smile as light as the breeze infected Xu Jiujiu, and he said gently: "Let's get to know him again. My name is not Ling. My real name... is Huo Yuhao."
