Chapter 156 High-level hunters often use

"This...this isn't right..."

Seeing the three girls in front of him, all of whom seemed to be saying "we're doing this for your own good" but were also somewhat afraid to look him in the eye, Huo Yuhao's hand holding the bowl began to tremble slightly.

The bowl of clear, steaming chicken soup in front of him now seemed to him no different from some kind of deadly poison.

Just as Huo Yuhao was about to force himself to drink the soup, the door was pushed open again.

Before anyone even appeared, Ma Xiaotao's hurried voice had already reached them.

"Ling Luochen, don't hold me back. I feel like the evil fire inside me is about to erupt again. I have to find Yuhao immediately to suppress it."

"Ma Xiaotao, don't try to fool me."

Ling Luochen's usually aloof tone was now tinged with obvious impatience. "Don't I know what you look like when your evil fire erupts?"

"Are you planning to do something indecent to my Yuhao again? Don't think you can do whatever you want just because Dean Xian is asleep. You're such an inherently evil woman!"

"Ling Luochen, who are you calling evil?"

"Whoever responds will be the one I yell at!"

Seeing the two pretty figures, one in red and one in blue, barge in, and hearing their suggestive words, Huo Yuhao's hand holding the bowl trembled even more violently.

So, did everyone plan to come to their own rooms tonight?

……

The people in the room stared at each other wide-eyed, and the atmosphere became extremely strange at that moment.

Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen were also surprised that Huo Yuhao's room was still so lively late at night.

It seems everyone has their own agenda.

What kind of unbreakable alliance?

An alliance that crumbled on its own!

Seeing the silence of the crowd, none of them speaking first, Huo Yuhao downed his bowl of chicken soup in one gulp, savored it for a moment, and then cautiously suggested:

"This chicken soup is just the right amount of salt, it tastes absolutely delicious. I see it's getting late, so let's all go home and get some sleep. We can talk about anything else tomorrow, okay?"

However, no one paid any attention to Huo Yuhao's suggestion, and the atmosphere became even more oppressive because of his actions.

Ning Tian and Wu Feng quickly exchanged a glance, both seeing deep confusion in each other's eyes.

They clearly did not expect that Huo Yuhao would remain calm and composed after drinking the nourishing soup, showing no particular effect whatsoever.

Was the medication not strong enough?

Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen's gazes fell on the casserole, and they both involuntarily raised their eyebrows.

Are all female elementary school students this bold these days?

While they were still using tacit excuses to pull some tricks, the other side had already become bold enough to skip that and go straight for the main course.

Jiang Nannan's blush deepened, and she asked hesitantly in a low voice, "Yuhao, you really don't have any special feelings?"

Huo Yun'er secretly gave her this prescription when the holiday ended, saying it would make her son, who was so dense, sprout new life and become energetic overnight.

Before Huo Yuhao could fully experience the effects of the medicine entering his body, another muffled thud came from the doorway.

Xian Lin'er was wearing a light green nightgown, her arms crossed, leaning against the door, her beautiful blue eyes filled with helplessness.

"I only left you unsupervised for one night, and you all started thinking about doing something, didn't you? Especially you, Ma Xiaotao, as the captain, you need to set an example even more."

Don't talk to me about "excessive internal heat." Do you think I can't tell if you have this problem?

As Xian Lin'er's gaze swept over them, all the girls in the room except Huo Yuhao lowered their heads in unison, intently counting their toes, clearly not daring to refute Xian Lin'er's words.

Xian Lin'er ignored the girls with their various expressions and finally fixed her gaze on Huo Yuhao.

"Yuhao, stop drinking that stuff. Go to the team's rest area now. I've left you some late-night snacks. You can heat them up and eat them. After you finish eating, find an empty room to sleep."

Having received Xian Lin'er's pardon, Huo Yuhao sheepishly slipped out of the room.

Based on his understanding of his teachers' personalities, he'll probably be nagging about them for quite a while.

Seeing Huo Yuhao leave, Xian Lin'er sighed helplessly, "Those who are hiding, stop hiding and come out now."

Upon hearing Xian Lin'er's words, Ma Xiaotao and the others all raised their eyebrows.

Are there more experts?

On either side of the curtains, Xiao Xiao, Wang Dong'er, Zhu Lu, and Cui Yajie slowly emerged, their heads almost buried in their chests, clearly extremely embarrassed by their current predicament of being caught red-handed.

Looking at the room full of beautiful women, Xian Lin'er finally rubbed her forehead, feeling a headache coming on.

"You guys are going too far! Haven't you heard the saying, 'There are only oxen that get exhausted, not fields that get worn out'? If you all act like this, how can Yuhao withstand all this torment?"

Wu Feng, who was also looking down, listened to Xian Lin'er's blunt analogy and recalled her own miserable experience of listening to it all night under the bed. She thought to herself that with Yu Hao's physique, even their group of people probably wouldn't be enough.

Looking at the girls who were bowing their heads and not daring to refute anything, Xian Lin'er couldn't help but sigh.

"If you keep making a ruckus like this, conflicts are bound to arise sooner or later. I think it would be better if you all discussed the distribution of resources right here and made a detailed timetable. That way, we can avoid these clashes later and make things awkward for everyone."

Upon hearing this, all the girls' eyes lit up; they hadn't expected Dean Xian to say something so agreeable to them.

On the other side, Huo Yuhao finally breathed a sigh of relief after arriving at the team's private rest area.

But what came into view was a familiar black figure, sitting alone on a bar stool in front of the bar.

The air was filled with a rich aroma of fruit wine.

Huo Yuhao frowned slightly. He hadn't expected to run into Zhang Lexuan here. Judging from her appearance, she had probably been drinking alone for a while.

"Senior Sister, what's wrong with you...?"

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's voice, Zhang Lexuan turned her head slightly. Her serene face showed little surprise, but rather a knowing smile.

"It seems the matter in your room is over. Sometimes being too popular isn't something to be thankful for."

After saying that, she downed the amber-colored white wine in her glass in one gulp. She stood up and walked behind the bar, muttering, "I remember Dean Xian specially saved this for you..."

Before long, Zhang Lexuan brought out an exquisite food box. After opening it and looking at it, she frowned slightly: "It's already cooled down. Yuhao, wait a moment, I'll heat it up for you."

After Zhang Lexuan placed the dishes into the warming soul guide device to reheat them, she casually took out a new bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet behind the bar.

Seeing the surprise on Huo Yuhao's face, she smiled slightly and shook the wine bottle in her hand.

"What, are you surprised that I'm drinking?"

"That's not the case."

Huo Yuhao chuckled and shook his head, then walked to the bar and sat down, speaking softly.

"I just feel that the current senior sister is not quite the same as the one I usually know."

"Is this normal?"

Zhang Lexuan skillfully used the corkscrew to pull out the cork, then poured some more into the wine glass. The deep red wine swayed under the light, appearing exceptionally alluring.

"Maybe this is the real me."

She didn't look at Huo Yuhao, but stared at the wine in her glass, murmuring softly.

"I don't need to think about the complicated affairs of the academy, I don't need to think about the responsibilities I must shoulder as the senior sister, I don't need to think about so many worries..."

After murmuring for a while, she laughed self-deprecatingly, "Sometimes when I'm too tense, I'll drink alone to relax. Unfortunately, the higher my cultivation level, the less effective the alcohol becomes; instead, I become more and more sober."

Huo Yuhao lowered his eyes slightly and did not reply.

In his past life, Zhang Lexuan, as a pillar of the inner courtyard, rarely seemed to be confused.

It was precisely because of this unparalleled resilience and strength that she became the senior sister of the inner academy without any doubt, and even the only person among the inner academy students whom Ma Xiaotao genuinely respected and treated as an idol.

After a brief silence, Zhang Lexuan finished off the bottle of wine she had just taken out.

However, his dark, jet-black eyes remained bright and clear, unaffected by the alcohol.

Looking at the empty wine bottle again, Zhang Lexuan finally couldn't help but pout and mutter childishly.

"Yuhao, how come this Star Emperor Hotel, which is supposed to be a royal hotel, doesn't even have a bottle of spirits? These drinks taste like water. How long am I supposed to drink them before I feel anything?"

"Um?"

Huo Yuhao frowned slightly.

He could naturally sense that Zhang Lexuan's tense emotions, accumulated from long-term pressure, were like a powder keg being constantly filled, which might one day be completely detonated by the slightest spark.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that the students in the inner academy all carry their own pressures to varying degrees.

If it were Sister Ruoruo, she would probably be wearing glasses and hugging herself to relieve stress by now.

But Senior Sister...

Huo Yuhao's gaze swept over the wine cabinet, and a thought struck him. He raised his hand in a feigned gesture.

Several fine, golden spiritual threads extended out, lightly lifting several bottles of different kinds of fine wine from the wine cabinet onto the bar.

With a loose grasp of his right hand, a cocktail shaker made entirely of translucent ice crystals rapidly solidified in mid-air as a chilling aura flowed through it.

Watching Huo Yuhao's series of fluid movements, Zhang Lexuan raised an eyebrow, her interest growing stronger: "You can mix drinks?"

"Not really."

Huo Yuhao shook his head. "If it satisfies Senior Sister, it should be enough."

As soon as he finished speaking, the corks of the bottles were pulled out simultaneously, and under the control of the mental threads, they were poured one by one into the ice crystal cocktail shaker in different proportions.

Inside the crystal-clear cocktail shaker, the various colored liquids gradually mix, eventually forming a deep and beautiful wine red.

The cocktail shaker fell from mid-air into Huo Yuhao's hand, and as the lid was put on, it began to shake naturally in Huo Yuhao's hand.

The magnificent colors, as the cocktail shaker danced in the air, created a strange, shimmering effect, like fireworks in ice—a truly beautiful sight.

After a short while, the shaking stopped.

With a flick of his wrist, Huo Yuhao produced a wine glass, also carved from ice crystals. He opened the lid of the pot and slowly poured the prepared liquor into the glass.

The wine was a deep ruby ​​red, but it wasn't a pure color inside. Instead, tiny golden specks floated and swirled within it, as if the entire starry sky had been incorporated into the glass.

Looking at the wine in the icy glass that had been pushed in front of her, Zhang Lexuan had to admit that the wine looked very appealing.

But as she said before, the liquor cabinet only has low-alcohol drinks. Even if they are mixed, they cannot be transformed into high-alcohol drinks. At most, they can only be added to the taste.

Huo Yuhao naturally didn't have the ability to turn the rotten into the miraculous; the wine was simply a vessel for his power.

In any case, he inherited the position of the God of Emotions in his previous life, so using food to influence other people's emotions was not unfamiliar to him.

Zhang Lexuan picked up her wine glass, parted her red lips slightly, and took a small sip.

A slightly sour and refreshing taste bursts forth on the taste buds, followed by a rich and mellow fruity aroma, layer upon layer, finally transforming into a warm and sweet aftertaste.

With just a small sip, Zhang Lexuan's eyes lit up. Having tasted many fine wines, she was now captivated by the rich and complex flavor.

Especially when the wine slides down your throat, a warm current seems to flow along your heart, or perhaps it is being nourished, unlocking the shackles in your heart.

She drank faster and faster, and in the blink of an eye, she had finished the entire glass of wine, so fast that Huo Yuhao didn't even have time to react.

The next second, there was a loud bang.

Zhang Lexuan's head had already fallen straight onto the bar.

Her pretty face was flushed with a lovely blush, and she was muttering something unintelligible, looking completely drunk.

Within the sea of ​​consciousness, Tianmeng, witnessing this scene, couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment: "Yuhao, what did you give her to drink that so easily knocked out a Soul Douluo?"

Huo Yuhao's lips twitched slightly, and he replied with a wry smile, "I didn't expect Senior Sister to drink it all in one go."

The golden stardust in the wine can be seen as a manifestation of illusion.

Zhang Lexuan's current state is less about being drunk and more about entering a dream state dominated by her own emotions.

Compared to the illusions that Huo Yuhao usually controls, these dreams, which are triggered by emotions, allow the dreamer to dream of their most tender and longed-for memories.

Based on Huo Yuhao's original estimate that Zhang Lexuan's mental strength had reached the level of tangible yet intangible, even if her mental sea was not guarded, it should take about fifteen minutes for the effects of the Mirror Flower Water Moon to be slowly triggered, thus giving her the illusion that she was truly drunk.

But given the current situation, Huo Yuhao was at a loss for words, both amused and exasperated.

After Huo Yuhao helped Zhang Lexuan back to her room, put her on the bed and covered her with blankets, he looked at Zhang Lexuan, whose pretty face was still slightly flushed, and sighed softly.

"Senior Sister, I wish you sweet dreams."

When the room was plunged back into darkness, the door was gently closed.

Zhang Lexuan, who had been breathing lightly as if she were fast asleep, opened her eyes again.

Those beautiful, clear black and white eyes remained bright, showing no trace of decadent drunkenness.

She instinctively pulled the blanket over her head, and under the covers, she couldn't help but mutter softly to herself:

"This is completely different from what Ruoruo said..."
