A few minutes later.
Shrek City, Dragon's Breath Restaurant.
On the outskirts of Shrek City, a tall building stands near a flowing river. Red and yellow lanterns adorn the building, and stone dragon statues loom nearby. The restaurant looks like any other, but the welcoming atmosphere invites one over.
Huo Yuhao, Ma Xiaotao, Qianye Ying'er, and Yang Xin(Scathach) stood before the restaurant, observing with great interest.
"Hmm, not bad." Qianye Ying'er commented casually. "I've never gone out to Shrek City often, but there are quite a lot of things here, huh?"
Ma Xiaotao scratched her cheek and explained, "Shrek City has come into existence since ten thousand years ago. In the entire continent, Shrek City is one of the biggest cities with a population of more than two million."
"The Academy is the inner part and rather quiet, but the outer layer is always busy."
"Of course, the Academy governs this city with independent power that does not pay taxes to any empire. The biggest 'attraction' of the city is the Shrek Academy, but it is also an important economic center for the three great empires and Douluo Continent."
"Yeah, on this continent only..." Scathach rebuked. "Shrek Academy might have to top up a few things to keep this city going."
"What do you mean?" Ma Xiaotao was puzzled.
Huo Yuhao chuckled and answered for Scathach, "This city lacks protection."
"Senior Sister, what would happen if someone of my caliber appeared randomly and ransacked this city?"
"That's impossible..." However, before Ma Xiaotao could finish her words, she recalled Huo Yuhao's fight with the Dragon God Douluo Mu En. She shivered at the thought of Shrek City getting destroyed by that last attack.
Ma Xiaotao's expression becomes increasingly grim.
"Well, well, don't make such a face, hehe. We are just teasing you." Huo Yuhao playfully poked Ma Xiaotao's nose. "Let's enter the restaurant."
"Everyone should be waiting for us."
Ma Xiaotao dumbly stared at Huo Yuhao and two other young ladies' backs.
"S-So, it was just a joke?" She murmured to herself.
"No," Scathach glanced back and responded, freezing Ma Xiaotao although she was a phoenix. "It was a bit of advice."
"..." Ma Xiaotao's eyebrows twitched. Her feeling was 'literally' stirred and then tossed aside by these people.
Ma Xiaotao could only sigh and follow them into the Dragon's Breath Restaurant.
After some thought, there is nothing wrong with their advice-! No, she preferred calling it criticism about Shrek City, but as long as Mu En is here. Everything will be fine.
'Yes, everything will be fine as long as Elder Mu is around.' Ma Xiaotao thought confidently. But her thought process immediately noticed one fatal mistake.
What if Mu En wasn't around?
The Shrek Academy has several Title Douluo, but could they defeat an enemy like Huo Yuhao? Most likely not.
'It seems she finally realized the fragileness of Shrek Academy.' Huo Yuhao smiled a little. The Shrek Academy has grown too comfortable as everyone in the Douluo Continent acknowledged it as the number one faction.
The prestige was 'naturally' built by Tang San and his companions ten thousand years ago, but now they are no longer here.
They also couldn't interfere much with Mortal World's affairs, or they would get a heavy fine.
A waitress in a red dress greeted them, "Welcome to the Dragon's Breath Restaurant, esteemed guests. Do you have a reservation or would like to grab a seat?"
"Reservation." Huo Yuhao recalled Bei Bei's invitations. "Uh, I believe it was Luxury Room No.13?"
The waitress's brown eyes widened before smiling understandingly, "Ah, I see... Please follow me to the Luxury Room No.13."
Huo Yuhao was curious why the waitress acted like this. But his curiosity was 'actually' answered not long after.
The waitress escorted them into the Dragon's Breath Restaurant, and the hallway's interior changed three times. Yes, three times!
On top of that, they also went to the highest floor with the best view over Shrek City and part of Sea God Lake. They are going to the best room in the restaurant, which should sink substantial gold.
'That Elder Mu En, he's quite cunning.' Huo Yuhao and others arrived at the Luxury Room No.13. A carved mahogany wood stood before them.
"Please enter." The waitress opened the door and bowed her body gracefully.
"Thanks." Huo Yuhao has no qualms about this matter and casually strode in. What greeted Huo Yuhao and the ladies was an open room with a long wooden table with several dishes.
Bei Bei, Tang Ya, Jiang Nannan, Xu Sanshi, Xiao Xiao, Wang Dong, and five more people have already seated at the corner of the table.
On the right corner are a bald man and a neatly clothed lady.
"Oh?" Huo Yuhao could tell that two of the three people in the left corner were Title Douluo, a middle-aged man and a black-robed woman. The last individual is someone Huo Yuhao could consider a mature older sister with a cold personality.
The mature senior sister has fair skin, long black hair, and eyes. She wore a professional black suit and skirt. Her body is tall and well-endowed, but her purple coat covers those juicy assets to appear more modest.
She sensed Huo Yuhao's gaze and stared at him silently. After a while, she gives him a nod and focuses on the scenery outside.
'Interesting...' Huo Yuhao smirked inwardly. Something about this woman attracted him.
[Name: Zhang Lexuan]
[Race: Human]
[Age: 20]
[Martial Soul: Moon(+)]
[Cultivation Realm: Rank 80, Soul Sage]
[Description: The disciple of the Dragon God Douluo's Mu En. She's very respectful toward her teacher and would do anything to pay him back]
Huo Yuhao raised his brows slightly.
Zhang Lexuan's status page is superb for someone not from the Dragon Nest, as expected of Mu En's Disciple. Not to mention, Zhang Lexuan's Martial Soul piques his interest.
As the possessor of Moon's Piercer Class, Huo Yuhai finally understood why Zhang Lexuan attracted him so much. His [Silverlight Force] is literally boiling in his body.
"Ah, you finally come!" Wang Dong said in annoyance.
Huo Yuhao smiled, "What's the matter? Can't wait for this little me?"
Wang Dong gnashed her teeth and swayed her head, "Hmph."
"Sit down, junior. Let's have some food and drinks before discussing the ongoing topic." One of the elders suddenly said. It was a middle-aged man.
[Name: Xuan Zi]
[Race: Human]
[Age: 235]
[Martial Soul: Godly Taotie Bull(+)]
[Cultivation: Rank 98, Hyper Douluo]
[Description: He's a disciple of Mu En. Also, a man who longed for the final step and the glutton of delicacy]
"Sure." Huo Yuhao responded after briefly reading Xuan Zi's status page, taking his seat.
He glanced at the other elder and discovered yet another amusing status page.
[Name: Song Yunzhi]
[Race: Human]
[Age: 200]
[Martial Soul: Greenshadow Godly Hawk(+)]
[Cultivation: Rank 97, Super Douluo]
[Description: An elder of the Sea God Pavilion. She's also a person who has lived peacefully for years, appreciating the nature of the world more]
Cough! Cough!
Bei Bei cleared his throat as he watched Huo Yuhao and the three ladies sitting down.
"Welcome everyone to this dinner." He said with a calm voice.
"We gather here to celebrate our new roles. The new Seven Shrek Devils!"
"Cheers!" He raised his glass.
"Cheers~!" Everyone responded, even the elders joined by raising their wine cups.
However, as they enjoyed food and drinks, Huo Yuhao noticed the gazes of Shrek Academy's people were 'suddenly' pointed at him.
"Uh, what?" He asked while stuffing his mouth with premium-quality roasted beef. "Tsk, I should have known better⦠There is no such a thing as a free meal, well dinner in this case."
He sighed and glanced at Xuan Zi, "Elder, say it."
Xuan Zi chuckled awkwardly and responded, "It's nothing serious..."
"Since the new Seven Shrek Devils appointed. We, the representatives of Shrek Academy, would like to purchase a service from the Dragon Nest."
"We are willing to pay..."
"Pay for what exactly?" Huo Yuhao gazed at them.
Bei Bei and others sheepishly looked away.
Well, except for Tang Ya. This young woman has no shame.
"Yuhao, please train us~!" Tang Ya said with sparkling cat-like eyes, which reminded Huo Yuhao of a certain black-haired Nekoshou.
"..." Huo Yuhao stopped chewing.
[Ding! You have triggered a quest!]
