Douluo's ice devil Yuhao

Chapter 244 The Sad Tangerine

The sixth grade teaching building, rooftop.

Tangerine leaned on the railing of the roof, looking down with a complex expression, with a hint of sadness and melancholy on her beautiful face.

Huo Yuhao sensed that Ju Zi's expression was wrong, as if he had something on his mind, so he didn't say anything, just stood aside and watched the scenery silently.

After a long time, Juzi said softly, "Brother Yuhao, no, I'll just call you Yuhao directly, is that okay?"

Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "Of course, but Senior Juzi, do you have to talk to me alone about something? Do you want to avoid Senior Sister Keke and Senior Zimu?"

Juzi turned around, looked at Huo Yuhao with complicated eyes, and asked, "Yuhao, are you from the Star Luo Empire?"

Huo Yuhao paused, then replied, "Yes."

Juzi closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then looked directly into Huo Yuhao's eyes: "Then you should still remember that my father died in the war with the Star Luo Empire."

Huo Yuhao didn't avoid Ju Zi's gaze, but greeted him calmly, nodded and said, "I remember."

Juzi sneered lightly, turned around and leaned against the railing again, and laughed at himself: "Actually, I should have guessed earlier that Yu Haoni is not from the Sun Moon Empire."

"You don't behave like a soul engineer at all. Ordinary soul engineers don't have such strong physical fitness as you."

Huo Yuhao didn't interrupt Ju Zi, and just listened to her continue talking on her own.

"I checked your information again, and found that you are an exchange student from the Star Luo Empire, hehe..."

"But what I hate the most is the Star Luo Empire."

Juzi looked at Huo Yuhao again, with an indescribable sadness in his eyes: "Yuhao, do you know? When I ate your grilled fish for the first time, I was deeply attracted by the taste."

"You remind me of my dad again. I once said before that if I want to marry someone with all my heart, then I must marry a good chef like my dad."

"Although we haven't been together for a long time, and the relationship between us hasn't reached that level yet, I already regard you as a friend in my heart."

"But I will never forget that it was the Star Luo Empire who took away my father forever."

"Why are you from the Star Luo Empire?"

Orange's eyes are full of puzzlement, sadness, and a hint of cheated sullenness.

Huo Yuhao looked at him calmly. After a long time, he said calmly, "Sister Orange, people cannot choose their own birth."

"Yeah." Orange shook his head with a wry smile, "So we have to become enemies."

"Xingluo and Sunyue are currently only on the surface of a truce, and a full-scale war will definitely break out in the future."

"I originally imagined that after you graduated from the academy, you would use your genius soul tool ideas to help build the Sun-Moon Empire and make the Sun-Moon Empire more and more prosperous, but..."

Orange sighed a long time: "You will return to the Star Luo Empire in a year. I believe that with your talent, you will shine in the future. At that time, we might meet on the battlefield."

Huo Yuhao interjected: "Sister Orange, don't worry, I will stay in the Sun Moon Empire."

Juzi was stunned for a moment when he heard the words: "What did you say?"

Huo Yuhao said calmly: "I have passed the assessment of Mingde Hall, and I can stay here for a long time, and I think that only by staying in the Sun Moon Empire can I display my talent for soul tools."

"So, in the future, I will stay in the Sun Moon Empire and study soul tools."

Juzi looked at him in disbelief: "You... what you said is true?"

Huo Yuhao nodded solemnly.

Orange asked: "Yuhao, you... you are betraying your country, do you know?"

Huo Yuhao said: "I can be a pure researcher, and I won't set foot on the battlefield. Sister Orange, you also know that my ideal is the same as that of Teacher Xuan Ziwen. I hope to use soul tools to change the lives of ordinary people."

"The other three countries do not have sufficient conditions. Only the Sun Moon Empire has such a suitable soil for the development of soul guidance technology."

Juzi was stunned again, and then showed a surprised expression: "Yuhao, I never thought you would make such a choice."

"Don't worry, the Sun Moon Empire will always open its doors to soul tool geniuses from all over the continent."

"With talents like you joining in continuously, the Sun Moon Empire will unify the continent, and it is definitely within reach."

After speaking, the sadness on her face was swept away, and she returned to a simple and playful look.

"Great, so we won't be enemies in the future."

"Yuhao, I remembered that there is an outsourced soul tool to be finished this afternoon, so I'll be leaving first."

Juzi turned around and was about to leave when she suddenly stopped, turned around and stretched out a hand to Huo Yuhao.

"Sister Orange, what are you...?"

Orange smiled and said, "I haven't eaten lunch yet, so I'll ask you for the grilled fish."

Huo Yuhao smiled slightly, and handed her several skewers of grilled fish. Juzi generously took one and put it in his mouth, waved his hand and walked downstairs.

After watching the oranges leave, Huo Yuhao put away his smile, walked to the railing, and looked into the distance.

"War..." Huo Yuhao murmured, lost in thought.

The Sun Moon Empire's ambition to unify the continent is obvious, and they have been accumulating strength in secret. When they are fully mobilized, they will erupt a terrifying power that is completely different from the previous small fights.

Although the number of high-level soul masters in the Three Kingdoms of the Mainland is far greater than that of the Sun and Moon Empire, the rapid iterative upgrade of the soul tools is enough for the Sun and Moon Empire to develop to the point where it can crush the Three Kingdoms of the Mainland in the foreseeable future.

Just as Huo Yuhao was thinking, Electrolux's voice sounded.

"Yuhao, what are you worrying about? The old man can feel that you seem to be trapped in some kind of thinking maze and cannot extricate yourself."

"Haven't you always been a determined kid?"

Huo Yuhao said in a deep voice: "I'm indeed stubborn about many things, but if I encounter some kind of logical dilemma, it's easy to get into the corner and not get out."

Electrolux asked, "What are you confused about?"

Huo Yuhao said indifferently: "I am very eager to witness that a powerful country can unify this continent, but in the process of unification, it will definitely be accompanied by unjust acts of aggression."

"In the world before me, there was such a tyrant. Although he shed thousands of miles of blood during his rule of the world, it was the vast territory he laid down that was praised by later generations."

"The Sun-Moon Empire is the country I am most optimistic about. They have the ambition and strength to unify the continent. However, Xingluo is also in my favor. I can't stand by and watch the war between them and the Sun-Moon."

"No matter where it is, the country that takes the lead in launching a war of aggression is condemned."

"Old Yi, if it were you, what would you do?"

Electrolux chuckled: "Son, why do you need to ask me, in fact, you already have the answer in your heart, don't you?"

Huo Yuhao covered his face with his right hand and smiled unconsciously.

"Yeah, I already have the answer..."

He looked at a place from a distance, which was where the Sun Moon Imperial City was located.
