Douluo: This time we will rewrite our destiny

The defense of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion is very tight. Without the cover of the imitation soul skill, it would be difficult to sneak into it. After getting past the first circle of guards and entering the backyard, Huo Yuhao became somewhat familiar with the environment.

Not far from the backyard is the woodshed, which looks dimmer than before in the night. In the past, they would at least light a lamp at night, but now that no one is living there, it has become idle.

Water tanks, cooking chopping boards, clotheslines... these things that should not appear in the woodshed gently plucked Huo Yuhao's heartstrings. The Duchess believed in ghosts and gods. Huo Yuhao guessed that because of his mother's death and his "disappearance", the Duchess completely abandoned this place, and even the traces of their mother and son's past life were not cleaned up.

...I'm still afraid of retribution.

After all, she was born as a eldest lady. Although she tried her best to treat their mother and son, she never dared to go to the point of killing them with her own hands - she might not have imagined that her education would make her son do such a thing.

"Is this emotion called nostalgia?" Chi Qiu looked at him quietly.

"I don't miss the past." Huo Yuhao looked at the chopping board covered with chop marks from the kitchen knife. They didn't have much meat to eat. Most of the food they cut were rotten vegetable leaves bought by the servants and sorted out. "I just miss my mother and everything about her."

After that, he took Chi Qiu's hand and led her away from the woodshed.

Along the way, Huo Yuhao saw several familiar guards. When he left the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, these guards paid attention to him, but at least they treated him as a young master of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion. Now that I think about it, maybe the people who remember him the longest in this entire mansion are probably these guards.

The Duchess must have thought he had died in the street.

It is now late at night, and most of the rooms in the White Tiger Duke's Mansion have turned off the lights. Only the Duchess's Mansion is brightly lit, and the target is very obvious without the need for mental detection. They came to the window of the back door and saw Dai Huabin lying on the bed. He seemed to be crazy and needed the Duchess to scrub his body over and over again. There was half-drunk porridge that had gone cold, as well as various herbs for external and internal use.

Huo Yuhao silently walked around to the front door and knocked out the soldiers and maids guarding the door with two extremely restrained soul attacks. Chi Qiu lifted them up one by one and slowly placed them on the ground without letting them make any sound because they fell unconscious.

The door was locked from the inside. Chi Qiu stood in front of the door, ready to go. Huo Yuhao used his mental detection to scan the internal structure of the lock on one side, and pulled out two thin but very strong metal needles from the soul storage device used for storing sundries on his waist. Following the location found through mental detection, the lock was opened without much effort.

A violent break-in was originally part of the plan, but in order not to leave too much trouble and create more panic, Huo Yuhao decided to retaliate accurately in a more silent way.

...Although he speculated that the Star Luo Empire must have publicized and blamed the Sun Moon Empire for the sudden change in the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, but whether there was any substantial evidence was another matter. In this mansion today, anyone who knows about "Huo Yuhao's coming to take revenge" will either die or have their memory erased. Dai Hao is an exception - when he comes back, he will get the "gift" Huo Yuhao left for him.

Putting the blame on the Sun and Moon Empire for this weird incident will also arouse some discordant voices among the people. After all, even the mansion of the White Tiger Duke, who has been protecting everyone, is in trouble.

The lock turned open with an inconspicuous click. The bedroom was very quiet, so the duchess noticed the sound, and she immediately looked back at the door.

Huo Yuhao opened the door, and Chi Qiu rushed in, covering the Duchess's mouth as she was about to scream. She could only make intermittent "wuwu" sounds and watched Huo Yuhao silently close the door from the inside and lock it tightly with his soul power.

The current duchess is suffering from an illness, and Chi Qiu has her throat choked and her mouth covered with one hand from behind. She has no strength to resist at all. She is completely different from the powerful mistress of the Duke's Palace in the past.

Huo Yuhao pressed his hand on the wall, and then nodded to Chi Qiu. Only then did Chi Qiu loosen his grip on the duchess. She was shaking like chaff, looking at Huo Yuhao at the door, and then at Chi Qiu who was holding a spear beside her and seemed to ignore her, her eyes wandering repeatedly.

Huo Yuhao silently made room for her at the door.

The duchess looked at Chiqiu again, but Chiqiu simply turned his back. She rushed towards the door, grabbed the door handle with both hands, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Someone is coming! Assassin! Assassin!"

Huo Yuhao looked at her shouting for help with the eyes of a cat playing with its prey. After a while, he slowly said: "No need to shout, this room has been sealed by my soul power, and the sound cannot be transmitted out."

"You... who are you?" She slumped against the wall and even forgot to activate her martial spirit. Huo Yuhao couldn't figure out whether her martial spirit was a star crown or a ghost civet. "What is your purpose?"

Huo Yuhao ignored her and slowly walked towards the soft couch in the room. Chi Qiu waited for him to come over, and bent down with him, looking at Dai Huabin lying on the bed. Dai Huabin has woken up. He dare not move now, and his ability to think is close to zero. He can only vaguely know that the two people leaning over to look at him are dangerous, and... they look familiar.

"Don't touch my son!"

The Duchess let out a heart-rending cry and rushed over to hug the legs of Chi Qiu who had the weapon in her hand. Chi Qiu immediately took a few steps back and threw her away. At the same time, he placed the Golden Dragon Spear between her and the bed, signaling that she should not get closer.

"These words... are so familiar."

Huo Yuhao turned around and looked down at the Duchess, who was thrown to the ground by the Golden Dragon Girl's huge strength and fell helplessly. She scratched the ground with her fingers, her hair disheveled, and kept muttering words of submission in her mouth: "Don't touch my son, please, what do you want? Money? How much! The Duke's Palace has countless wealth... It will cost me my life." Okay, as long as you can let my son go!"

Huo Yuhao sighed without mercy. He knelt down, looked at the man's compromising look, and said softly in a gentle and terrifying tone: "The words you just shouted... are so familiar. Back then, my mother threw herself on me to stop you. This is what this son shouted when he struck me with the stick.”

"What...what...?" The Duchess's eyes glazed over.

She began to look at Huo Yuhao's appearance again. who is it? Who is in the Duke's Palace? No, it didn't look like anyone she remembered.

Huo Yuhao is much more handsome now than he was then. Adequate nutrition and the benefits of cultivation have long since erased all traces of malnutrition at that time. Only the corners of his eyes still had the same gentle arc as his mother.

"If you remember her, you will definitely recognize her." Huo Yuhao squinted at her, his tone as gentle as if he was coaxing a child.

Chi Qiu on the side was secretly surprised. She thought that when Huo Yuhao said to scold him before killing him, he really just scolded him with swear words he had never said in the Star Luo Empire. Or she was too naive. Isn't it because he learned too much from those evil soul masters in the Holy Spirit Religion?

This is really not the case. Huo Yuhao thinks that maybe he already has this side in his heart, but it is just suppressed at the deepest level. The smooth and happy days that followed would soothe his pain, but the pain remained.
