Chapter 138: Small Talk and Corruption?

--- Chapter 138 ---

The next morning.

"YUHAO~!"

Huo Yuhao was eating his seafood pasta when a familiar shout echoed on the floating island. He choked for a moment and emptied a glass of water immediately.

Sitting on the veranda with Grayfia and Robin, Huo Yuhao saw Scathach trespassing his Rune Barrier like it was nothing to her. A smile cracked on Huo Yuhao's face because Shishou's rune mastery was higher than his.

And he has a freaking Rune Master Job.

Scathach hopped a few times and landed on the veranda like a breeze, touching the concrete fence delicately. "I'm here~!" She declared her presence proudly.

"Why are you here, Shishou? I thought you weren't interested in conquering the Underworld?" Huo Yuhao responded calmly, wiping his mouth with a napkin.

Scathach acted cluelessly and returned, "When did I say that? Anyway, I heard about your plan through Giana, so let me fight Hades!"

Huo Yuhao sighed in loss when seeing her act and told his lovely teacher to drop from the fence first, explaining the Realm of the Dead's strike initiative and reason. She listened to them well and even nodded a few times boringly.

"So we only have to beat the shit of everyone, pretty simple." She commented, which left Grayfia on the side speechless.

How casual can one be? Scathach confidently believed she could beat everyone on Hades's side, but Grayfia somehow acknowledged the red-eyed battle maniac even without proof.

If Qianye Ying'er could defeat Tiamat with such ease, then Scathach, who was supposedly more powerful than the cult- fan club's leader, should be able to defeat a god-class being like Hades.

A simple guess but admittedly close enough to the truth.

"I would like to be in the frontline." Scathach crossed her arms, taking no for an answer.

"Fine... Just don't destroy the place, Shishou. I don't want to revamp the whole Realm of the Dead and mess with this world's cycle of rebirth." Huo Yuhao responded calmly.

"Hehe~! As expected of my disciple, you're the best-!" When Scathach was about to hug, a katana suddenly flew out with great force.

SWOOSH!

As the god slayer, she casually caught the blade with her bare hand and glanced down at the person who disturbed her quality moment with Huo Yuhao.

Scathach frowned and mumbled, "You're... A servant?"

Even though almost seven years have joyfully passed since Huo Yuhao summoned her to the Douluo Dalu Universe, she still remembers the signature energy of a servant.

"You too?" Raikou returned with a confused expression.

The berserker and lancer stared at each other awkwardly, not knowing what they should say next. Scathach made the first move and shoved the katana away from her face, pulling Huo Yuhao into her embrace.

Raikou doesn't like this, launching a palm strike on Scathach's solar plexus.

BAM!

Scathach lowered her elbow and received the palm strike without any problem.

"Gae Bol-!"

Huo Yuhao grabbed their hands and said, "Okay, stop!"

"Stop fighting!"

"But Honey, she's being rude for grabbing you away from me~!" Raikou pouted, making Scathach chuckle.

Scathach stared at the big-breasted berserker and sneered, "Me, taking away Yuhao? He's mine from the beginning, you cow!"

"Also, what's this honey thing..." Her gaze pierced Huo Yuhao's skin.

"Okay, let me explain..." Huo Yuhao responded while placing them six feet apart. He told Scathach about the Summoning Cards and made the god slayer's expression mellow slightly.

After a few minutes, Scathach huffed and said, "Out of all things, you summoned more women. Just what's wrong with your luck, Yuhao? I don't against your plan on building a massive harem, but at least do it in moderation."

"..." Huo Yuhao was speechless.

"It's not my fault."

"The summons are random, like literally."

"How could I know the servant would be a female??"

Scathach isn't "fully." convinced by Huo Yuhao's reasoning because over one hundred thousand women are chasing this blue-haired scoundrel. He only had to snap his finger once, and they would lift their skirts for him.

"I am not convinced." She firmly stated.

"Unless..."

"Enjoy the breakfast, Raikou-san, Fia. I'll be back in a brief moment." Huo Yuhao knew where this was going and disappeared from the veranda with Scathach, leaving Raikou and Grayfia alone for one hour.

When they returned, Grayfia and Raikou could see a slight blush on Scathach's cheeks. The mighty red-eyed woman was conquered by Huo Yuhao and even purred like a cat while hugging his arm, sweating out her satisfaction in the bright yellow happy aura.

'Did they...' Raikou gazed at Grayfia.

'Yes, they did.' Grayfia hopelessly nodded. She saw the past with her temporal eyes and viewed some spicy scenes, only the last bit.

Minamoto no Raikou bit her lips in dissatisfaction because she couldn't approach Huo Yuhao very well yesterday. After the hearty meal, Huo Yuhao told her to rest and adapt to the environment first.

It also applies to Grayfia in the last few weeks, getting instructed by Huo Yuhao to train and hone her mastery of Spirit Skills. Combined with her maid job, she has no time to advance even further in her relationship.

"Why the long face?" Huo Yuhao gently laughed while sitting back in his chair. "You two have a lot of chances to get closer to me, and no one would hold you back. Even my mother."

"My mother might test you, but the decision is up to me in the end."

"If I don't like you, I'd already said it from the beginning, no?" He added, which surprised Grayfia.

It's true.

Huo Yuhao never pushed Grayfia and the other women away. He calmly observed and gave them time to understand the meaning behind his intention.

No one could form a strong relationship instantly.

One had to understand and spend a long time with individuals, understanding them slowly.

Of course, there is such a thing as "Love at First Sight." but the relationship based on it usually doesn't last long. It either ended prematurely, or time washed it away into history.

Raikou gently placed her hand on the table and said, "Let's go on a date~!"

"After this war against the Realm of the Dead, Let's go on a date, honey~!"

"Okay." Huo Yuhao nodded casually.

"I would like to know more about you, Raikou-san."

Scathach wasn't mad when hearing Raikou's proposition and lay her head on Huo Yuhao's shoulder. This guy consoled her too much. She couldn't be mad at him.

'Well, I like to go on a date too.' Scathach peeked into Huo Yuhao's face.

Huo Yuhao peacefully finished breakfast with a cereal bar and remembered something. "Oh, yeah. Shishou, I found a good candidate to train for you." He suddenly said.

"Hmm, the other woman?" Scathach returned with a pout.

Huo Yuhao scratched his cheek and replied, "Uh... Yes."

"Her name is Nico Robin, a person from a world of pirates."

"She possessed quite a unique ability through the consumption of devil fruit, an item with an innate concept of the universe."

"When one ate a devil fruit, that person lost the ability to swim but was able to manipulate a concept. Whether it's darkness, light, space or even brazen things such as slow, quake, rubber, weights." Huo Yuhao described the devil fruits to Scathach.

"Hmm... How bizarre." Scathach pondered about something.

"Where is this girl?"

"About that... Ying'er fetched Robin away before Grayfia could pick her up for breakfast." Huo Yuhao felt somewhat bad for Robin because the golden-haired young lady wouldn't leave her be.

'Oh no.' Scathach slapped her forehead. It was too late.

She could have prevented the new girl from being corrupted by Qianye Ying'er, but it was too late now. Just one hour of divine revelation was enough for any weak-hearted maiden to fall into that girl's palm.

"I'll check her condition." Scathach kissed Huo Yuhao and disappeared from the veranda.

Huo Yuhao coughed and commented, "What a nice day."

...

...

The Sixth Heaven, Zebel.

"Sister, listen to us. Stop locking yourself up in the bedroom!" Micheal knocked on Gabriel's bedroom. However, no replies are coming out.

The other archangels looked very worried about this situation.

"What should we do?" Uriel asked while staring at the door.

"At this point, we would never know our sister's condition. Since Kokabiel's attack on the Kuoh Academy and meeting with the Blue-Eyed Dragon God, she became more emotional."

Raphael rubbed his temple and added, "We can't leave her alone like this. I'm afraid Gabriel will lose her way into sin."

Thinking hard about this situation, Micheal opened his mouth and said, "There is no other way. We should call Yuhao-sama here. He should have returned to his compound after visiting the Underworld."

"Sama... Are we really going to be his subordinate?" Uriel felt this was wrong. After all, Huo Yuhao attacked their father in the past.

Raphael agreed with Uriel and continued, "This is hard to accept, Micheal."

"This is our father's last will. Don't tell me you don't want to follow it, brothers. We should trust his decision till our last breath." Micheal smiled weakly. "I understand your feelings, but this is for the greater good."

...

On the other side of the door, Gabriel is sweating on her pure white bed and letting out heavy breathing. Her face is flushed with redness, making the once pure-looking lady more sensual.

"Father is so cute." Gabriel held a picture of a blue-haired child wearing tight black pants. He's completely naked on the upper half, exposing his tender skin and lean muscle.

Yes, this is Huo Yuhao's picture from six years ago.

"Father."

"Ah~! Father~!!"

"How can you be so cute~?"

"How can you be so handsome~!?"

"Gabriel is a fan."

"No, Gabriel is losing her way. P-Please forgive my sin, Punish me~!!"

"AAHHHH~!!" Gabriel sniffed the picture and arched her back, sighing in relief.

The golden halo above Gabriel's head slowly becomes darker each day, indicating her slow corruption.

Now, you might wonder.

How could Gabriel obtain this picture?

The answer is simple, Qianye Ying'er.

"Fufufu~!" Qianye Ying'er leaned on her chair while seeing the scene inside Gabrial's bedroom. The picture held by the beautiful archangel is tempered with a monitoring rune, allowing her to see and hear everything.

On a big yet wide table, over a thousand similar monitoring screens lay before Qianye Ying'er eyes. Each screen ranged from every female member she recruited and talked to after landing in this world.

"How beautiful." She giggled in joy.

"What a great development."

"I'm doing such a great job, and with this. Huo Yuhao's religion will grow even further."

She grinned while looking at the table and said, "Don't worry. My lord, Yuhao. I'll spread your religion until the end time~!"
