Chapter 502 This kid! He's got potential!
Huo Yuhao followed Wang Dong through the clouds and mist for an unknown amount of time. He looked around and could vaguely see gray-robed figures flashing by in the mist from time to time.
The men in gray uniforms who had been there earlier hadn't gone far; they had stayed by their side, escorting them.
The higher Huo Yuhao climbed, the more doubts he had.
"Where the clouds are deep and the sky is unknown?" Huo Yuhao murmured the phrase. It was a very apt description. As he continued forward, Huo Yuhao could only vaguely see Wang Dong's figure about five steps in front of him.
The clouds seemed to have a mind of their own, swirling around Huo Yuhao's body.
Huo Yuhao raised his free left hand, and the mist immediately spread up his arm, gathering into a small vortex at his fingertips.
Huo Yuhao wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that the vortex of energy gathering at his fingertips looked a lot like an eye.
"Wang Dong, are these clouds and mist some kind of special protective mechanism?" Huo Yuhao couldn't help but ask.
"This is the last line of defense outside my house. Under the cover of this fog, no one can use any detection methods to spy on this place! No method is effective!" Wang Dong's smug voice came.
Huo Yuhao frowned slightly. Wang Dong had just said that any detection capability would be ineffective?
Is this a special ability of these clouds? What kind of clouds are these?
"Brother Tianmeng!"
"Don't ask me, I don't know either."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm replied lazily, letting out a big yawn. It had been too excited and was now very sleepy, ready to fall asleep at any moment.
"This...world is so big, whew~"
Before Huo Yuhao could ask again, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had already fallen asleep.
Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow, then decided to ask Bingdi.
Hyotei also felt sleepy and floated off to sleep.
At this moment, the two soul spirits in Huo Yuhao's mind fell asleep.
His consciousness returned instantly, and without thinking too much, Huo Yuhao asked, "Wang Dong, can I try using my mental detection?"
Wang Dong chuckled twice. "You should try it! You'll only know how amazing these clouds are once you experience them for yourself!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up with golden light, and his spiritual power surged forth.
In Huo Yuhao's perception, he and Wang Dong were standing in mid-air, surrounded by a hazy grayness.
"Should I try the Eye of Destiny?" Huo Yuhao thought to himself.
"Yuhao".
Electrolux's voice rang out.
"Elder Yi, what's wrong?" Huo Yuhao asked.
"This cloud contains a strange power that I can't see through, but I have a strange sense of familiarity with it. It seems to be a power from another level," Electrox said calmly.
"What?" Huo Yuhao was shocked. Another level of power?
Before Huo Yuhao could carefully consider the meaning of Electrolux's words, Wang Dong suddenly took a step forward, and the view in front of him suddenly opened up.
The bright light caught Huo Yuhao's attention.
He saw a magnificent and imposing ancient castle suspended above the mountaintop.
This scene, reminiscent of an ancient painting, once again gave Huo Yuhao a visual shock.
"This! This is truly a breathtaking sight!" Huo Yuhao couldn't help but exclaim.
Wang Dong, hands on hips and eyes closed, happily said, "Welcome to my home! You're the first guest I've brought home!"
"Really? Then I can brag about this for a whole year!" Huo Yuhao chuckled.
"I never knew Wang Dong was such a hidden tycoon! If Ni Jiang knew, she'd definitely be envious of me!"
Mentioning Ye Nanxiao immediately piqued Wang Dong's interest: "What could make Ye the Fox so envious?!"
"Muddy has always wanted to be friends with tycoons! For a while, I kept asking my senior brother and the others if they were hidden tycoons who came out to experience life! Hurry up and go back to inherit the family fortune to give your brothers birthday presents!" Huo Yuhao laughed.
"Right now, I'm standing right next to a super-rich guy. Your castle is so big, do you need security guards?"
"Hahaha! That's something Ye Fox would actually say!"
When Wang Dong led Huo Yuhao to the top of the mountain, a burly man was already waiting for them.
Short hair standing on end like steel needles, and a face with sharp, chiseled features.
Wang Dong excitedly shouted, "Second Father!"
Huo Yuhao's eyes met those of the burly man. The man's terrifying muscles reminded him of a story Ye Nanxiao had told about a wrestling locker room.
The burly man first smiled and glanced at Wang Dong, then his smile faded and his gaze fell on Huo Yuhao.
Before the burly man could react, Huo Yuhao took out a small wine flask, uncorked it, and said loudly, "Greetings, senior! My name is Huo Yuhao, and I am a friend of Wang Dongzhi. I came in a hurry and only brought a small gift. Please forgive me!"
The burly man intended to unleash his power to test Huo Yuhao, but a rich and fragrant aroma of wine was carried by the mountain breeze and inhaled into his nostrils.
"Excellent wine!"
Wang Dong only felt a blur flash before his eyes, followed by a gust of wind.
"Good lad! This wine is not bad!" The burly man instantly appeared in front of Huo Yuhao, took the small wine pot from Huo Yuhao's hand, and took a deep breath of the wine's aroma.
"I'm glad you like it, senior. I came in a hurry and only brought a portion with me." Huo Yuhao patted his belt and released five wine jars.
"My surname is Tai! Just call me Uncle Tai!" The burly man who called himself Uncle Tai's eyes gleamed with gold, and he stretched out his big hand and picked up five wine vessels.
Wang Dong blinked. He hadn't even introduced his second father to Yuhao yet, had he? How did they end up chatting?
Uncle Tai excitedly patted the wine jar; his cravings were already stirring within him.
A surge of soul power erupted, enveloping Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, who then flew into Haotian Fortress along with Uncle Tai.
"How come you started chatting with my second father so quickly?" Wang Dong nudged Huo Yuhao's shoulder.
"Nijiang said that when you first meet your elders, you'll usually be tested, so you have to be quick-witted!" Huo Yuhao grinned broadly. "Didn't you say before that your elders like to drink?"
"Is this the trick Ye Fox uses to deal with Sister Nan Nan and Sister Xiao Tao's elders?" Wang Dong's forehead creased with black lines, and she could almost hear Ye Nan Xiao's smug laughter.
Upon entering Haotian Fortress, Uncle Tai quickly put away the wine jar he was carrying, glancing inside to make sure everything was alright. Then, with a stern face, he said to Huo Yuhao, "Let's go. You're the first guest my Xiaodong has invited back! I trust Xiaodong's judgment!"
Wang Dong snorted twice, "That's right! How could my taste be bad!"
Wang Dong then took Huo Yuhao's hand. "Come on! I'll show you around my house! And the room you'll be staying in tonight!"
The latest novel is first published here!
Huo Yuhao took out five more wine jars and said to Uncle Tai, "Uncle Tai, I heard that Wang Dong has an elder. These are gifts I prepared for that elder! Please accept them on his behalf!"
Uncle Tai's eyes gleamed, and he patted his chest, laughing, "Good lad! That's quite a generous offer! Then I'll accept it on behalf of my elder brother!"
Wang Dong excitedly pulled Huo Yuhao, "Let's go! We'll see Daddy later! Second Daddy! I'm taking the guests to the second floor now!"
Uncle Tai waved and watched the two little ones leave.
"Interesting kid, but I seem to have forgotten something?" Uncle Tai scratched his head.
"Never mind! This wine smells amazing! Where did this kid get such good wine?!"
Uncle Tai took out the small wine flask he had brought earlier, uncorked it, took a big gulp, savored the mellow aroma of the wine, and exhaled a satisfied breath.
Then, Uncle Tai seemed to remember something, took out four wine jars, picked them up, and walked straight to the third floor.
"Boss! The little guy Dong'er brought gave us four bottles of fine wine!"
This kid is a good match!
At the foot of the main peak of Haotianbao.
A tall, slender figure walked to the foot of the mountain.
The figure found a flat spot to sit down, then reached out and touched an unidentified wildflower on the ground.
"Are flowers carefree, or do they also experience sorrow?"
The figure removed his hood, revealing Ye Nanxiao's face, though he carried a faint air of melancholy.
Xiao Ye No. 4 looked up at the mountain peak that rose into the clouds, looked around at the surrounding mountains, and finally his gaze fell on the highest peak.
"It shouldn't be too far away. If it gets any closer, it might be discovered," Xiao Ye No. 4 muttered to himself, as floating ice rose beneath his feet.
It didn't take long for Xiao Ye No. 4 to stand atop the chosen mountain peak.
The mountaintop is open and spacious, with jagged rocks, unlike the main peak which is as if it were carved by a knife.
A faint blue light shone in Xiao Ye No. 4's eyes, and then he sat down under a huge rock in a sheltered spot, hiding himself.
A petal of an ice flower flashed across Xiaoye No. 4's forehead.
The power of the Frozen Flower enveloped Little Leaf No. 4, allowing him to completely blend into the environment.
On the main peak, gray figures descended rapidly from the clouds; they were disciples patrolling Haotian Fortress.
The Haotianbao disciples, dressed in gray uniforms, continued their patrols as always, checking for any unusual activity around Haotianbao.
Two disciples from Haotianbao leaped forward quickly, passing the mountain where Xiao Ye No. 4 was hiding, but found nothing.
After the patrolling disciples of Haotian Fort disappeared back into the clouds, Xiao Ye No. 4 opened his eyes again.
"Is this strange cloud formation Yuan Haisan's doing?" Xiao Ye No. 4 also noticed the peculiarity of the cloud formations surrounding the main peak.
Those clouds and mist contained a power aura that Ye Nanxiao was familiar with.
Ye Nanxiao had faced the owner of that power several times.
A circular soul tool appeared in Xiao Ye No. 4's hand, which was a pair with the soul tool in Huo Yuhao's hand.
"The power of the Frozen Flower might allow me to see through that layer of mist." Xiao Ye No. 4 placed his left hand, sword finger pointing towards the Frozen Flower on his forehead.
Since those clouds and mists were Yuan Haisan's doing, only those with power at the same level could see through them.
However, a few seconds later, Xiao Ye No. 4 abandoned its attempt to see through the clouds.
There are two more powerful individuals in Haotian Fortress who have reached the demigod level. Just in case, it would be best not to use the power of the Frozen Flower lightly.
If nothing else happens, that would be even better.
