Chapter 5: Live with the beautiful princess from today!

"Let's go, the youngest auctioneer in the Starlight Auction House. Now you need to follow me to familiarize yourself with the working environment." Xu Jiujiu put down his wine glass and looked at Huo Yuhao with interest.

"Before you came, I was the youngest auctioneer here. Now that you're here, I'm no longer the youngest." Xu Jiujiu walked in front and chatted idly.

Huo Yuhao glanced at her and said, "It's okay. Even with me, you are still the youngest."

Xu Jiujiu suddenly stopped and looked back at Huo Yuhao: "I always feel like there's something else behind your words."

“Isn’t it? Even if I come, you are still the youngest female auctioneer in the auction house.” Huo Yuhao explained with a puzzled look on his face.

In fact, what Huo Yuhao said was exactly what Xu Jiujiu had guessed. After all, everyone knew what kind of book Unrivaled Tang Sect was. After reading it, it was hard for Huo Yuhao not to understand the color joke.

Fortunately, he didn't say it all out loud. He pretended to be calm and breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't help but blame himself: Xu Jiujiu, Xu Jiujiu, what are you thinking about? He is just a kid who just turned ten years old. How could you imagine him to be so dirty?

After reading the description of the Starlight Auction House in the book, Huo Yuhao had developed a yearning for this place. However, for a child who had grown up in a walled compound, it was really difficult for him to imagine what the Starlight Auction House looked like.

Until he actually came here.

Huo Yuhao felt that everything before him was so magnificent that it seemed unreal.

"By the way, when can I start work?" Huo Yuhao suddenly asked.

"Job?" Xu Jiujiu was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, "Letting you be an auctioneer is just a title, how can I really let you do the job of an auctioneer."

"If people knew we had a ten-year-old auctioneer here, they would definitely be curious about you. Wouldn't that be asking for trouble?"

“Don’t worry, little brother Huo Yuhao, you don’t need to go to work. You just need to realize your potential and grow well. Since our royal family has said that we want to train you, we will naturally train you wholeheartedly.” After saying that, Xu Jiujiu reached out his hand and wanted to touch Huo Yuhao’s head.

But Huo Yuhao dodged it and asked, "Then where should I stay tonight?"

Xu Jiujiu stretched out her hand and froze it in mid-air. She suddenly realized that since Huo Yuhao could not be kept in the palace, and she could not give up on training him, and could not even let him live alone, that meant that Huo Yuhao had only one place to go.

"Your Highness, His Majesty has ordered that Mr. Huo Yuhao will live with you for a period of time from now on." A maid who appeared out of nowhere walked up to Xu Jiujiu and whispered in his ear.

After looking at the young Huo Yuhao for a long time, he sighed helplessly: "Well, little brother Yuhao, didn't you ask where you live? Come with me."

Xu Jiujiu led Huo Yuhao to a simple three-story courtyard behind the auction house. Although the courtyard was simple, it was not an easy task to build a courtyard in the center of the imperial capital where every inch of land was valuable.

“Well, this will be your residence from now on.” Xu Jiujiu brought Huo Yuhao to one of the houses, indicating that this would be Huo Yuhao’s residence.

Huo Yuhao looked at the mansion and couldn't help but walk forward to touch it. You know, when he was in the Duke's Mansion, the place where he and his mother lived was the most shabby and dilapidated place in the entire Duke's Mansion. Even the dog raised by the Duchess lived better than them.

It would be nice if my mother could also live in the house here. Huo Yuhao couldn’t help but think of his mother.

However, accommodation was only the most basic benefit. It was not until dinner time that Huo Yuhao truly experienced what royal treatment meant.

“Is this soul beast meat?” Huo Yuhao asked uncertainly.

Soul beast meat is a very precious food in Douluo Continent. Even in Shrek, only inner court disciples can eat soul beast meat regularly.

An ordinary soul master can basically only kill three or four soul beasts in his lifetime, and there is no guarantee that he will have the opportunity to take away the soul beast's body after absorbing the soul ring.

Even if it was taken away, it would not be easy to process the soul beast meat. I remember the book described that the chef in charge of soul beast meat in Shrek was a soul emperor of more than 60 levels!
A Soul Emperor of level 60 or above is considered a mid-to-high-end combat force in any force. Letting such a combat force be a chef is definitely an extremely luxurious method.

However, no matter how luxurious something is, it cannot be considered luxury for the royal family.

"Of course." Xu Jiujiu answered as if it was a matter of course: "Although your martial soul is powerful, you have not lived a good life since childhood, which has caused you to be malnourished. If you take medicine, it will make you weak and unable to be replenished. Therefore, the best way is to replenish your body little by little by eating soul beast meat."

Huo Yuhao nodded when he heard this. He remembered that the senior brother whom he had never met in the book also evaluated him in this way.

However, at that time, Beibei relied on cheating to get a Xuanshui Pill from Xu Sanshi to help "himself" repair his body.

The effect of Xuanshui Dan is good, but since it is a medicine, it is naturally harmful to the human body. It is definitely not as good as this long-term method of repairing it.

It was the first time that Huo Yuhao ate soul beast meat, and he couldn’t help but eat a little more. In the end, he felt embarrassed and ate until he was 120% full. He was stunned by this scene for a long time. He didn’t expect that the man was not big, but he ate so much.

Huo Yuhao felt a little embarrassed when she looked at him, so he went back to his room under the pretext of practicing.

Although it was an excuse, Huo Yuhao actually started his daily practice after returning. Huo Yuhao knew that he was practicing slowly now, and that practicing for three days now might not catch up with practicing for one day later. But even so, he was unwilling to waste time and worked hard to improve his cultivation bit by bit.

However, Huo Yuhao did not expect that something bad would happen during his practice.

“Huh?” Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face: “I have made a breakthrough?”

Huo Yuhao felt that his soul power had obviously increased by one level, from level six to level seven.

Although he is still not considered a strong man, Huo Yuhao is very happy about it.

The next morning.

"Since we, the Xingluo royal family, have decided to train you, we will naturally do our best to do this." Early in the morning, Xu Jiujiu brought Huo Yuhao to the yard.

There were already quite a few people waiting here.

"These are your next teachers." Xu Jiujiu pointed at the five middle-aged spirit masters in front of him and introduced them. "These five will teach you different knowledge respectively. All procedures will be carried out according to the standards of the royal family's children."

"These five will teach you knowledge about soul beasts, wilderness, medicine, close combat, and court etiquette."

"How about it? Not bad, right?" Xu Jiujiu looked at Huo Yuhao with a smile.

But Huo Yuhao’s expression was not very happy: “Why is there no soul guide? And forget about the palace etiquette. I am a rough man and I am not used to these complicated things.”

"You want to be a soul guide?" Xu Jiujiu looked at Huo Yuhao in disbelief.

“What’s wrong? Soul guides are the trend nowadays. If you don’t learn how to make soul guides, are you going to learn how to make hidden weapons?” Huo Yuhao asked back.

"You should know that the Sun-Moon Empire has always been good at soul guides, and our Xingluo Empire has been slow to develop in this area. Although my brother is determined to change this situation and actively encourage the development of soul guides in the country, the resistance is too great."

"Now that we have finally made some progress, all the soul instructors of the royal family have their missions to accomplish. It is a bit difficult to ask them to come and teach you." Xu Jiujiu looked guilty. He had just said that he would devote all his efforts to training others, but in the end, he couldn't even fulfill the first request made by others.
