Chapter 15: Decision

--- Chapter 15 ---

A soft purr was tickling Huo Yuhao's ears.

He gradually awakened from his sleep and felt something soft yet firm rubbing against his face. It took him a few minutes to realize Huo Yun'er was hugging him like a koala.

Huo Yun'er was still asleep, and her beautiful face was perfect with that satisfied smile. That inviting rosy lip made Huo Yuhao think about yesterday's event, and he was slightly embarrassed. Nevertheless, He's not dense enough not to realize her desire and passion for him.

'What a woman. Evo, give me her status.' Huo Yuhao sighed inside while thinking about something.

[...]

[Name: Huo Yun'er]

[Age: 26]

[Race: Human, Albino Heavenly Fox(+)]

[Cultivation: Level 10]

[Martial Soul: Mystic Spirit Eyes(+), Heavenly Fox(+)]

[Description: A woman with a severe son complex who loved her son the most in this world]

'Well, this explains some things.' He stared at his mother's status panel with a weak smile. The description of her is rather amusing too.

Huo Yuhao clicked on Heavenly Fox's race and saw an additional system panel appear. "Huh, this is broken." He commented while reading the short explanation about this race.

[Heavenly Foxes are the legendary demonic beast that governs over illusion and yin flame, but the truth is more than that. They actually have a reign over Luck and Doom, making them one of the "strongest." races ever existed. Yae, Albino Heavenly Fox is rare existence within the clan and possesses even more powerful control over Destiny]

[The reason why Albino Nine-Tailed Fox's Legacy is only S Rank is that Yae wasn't able to reach a higher realm and passed away before her fateful peak]

Huo Yuhao nodded in understanding and expected his mother to give him a stroke of high luck in the future. He couldn't help but grin when thinking about it. It's like having the Goddess of Luck on his side.

He moved his gaze to the other section and discovered that Huo Yun'er possessed a twin martial soul. He checked them out and was curious about what kind of changes her Spirit Eyes got after the legacy trial.

[Name: Mystic Spirit Eyes]

[Type: Martial Soul]

[Description: Mystic Spirit Eyes is the abnormal evolution of Spirit Eyes, a Spiritual-based Martial Soul influenced by the Albino Heavenly Fox's lineage. The one who had this martial soul could see the fortune and doom of someone else]

[Name: Heavenly Fox(Variant)]

[Type: Martial Soul] This chapter's initial release occurred on the n0vell--Bjjn site.

[Description: A variant of Heavenly Fox, Albino Nine-Tailed Fox, that possessed extreme yin flame called Blue Fox Fire. It could burn one's spiritual energy and reduce one's mind into nothing but ash]

"Is this a coincidence? I think not." Huo Yuhao has Thunderfire, an Absolute Fire Element in short Yang-based Flame. It makes him compatible with Huo Yun'er.

According to Naga, the Divine Dragon slept with countless Yin Dragons in the past and increased his strength by several realms. This healthy activity provided Thunderfire with a "nutritious." essence to make it stronger.

"What coincidence?" A melodious voice awakened Huo Yuhao from his thoughts.

[Description: A one-time uses token that can advance any veteran class to the next awakening]

He was quiet when reading the description because he could upgrade his class with this token. It doesn't cost any Upgrading Tickets, which is good. "Awakening..." He mumbled to himself.

"I'll save it for now. I need to think about this thoroughly because I haven't explored the four classes much, so awakening them now would be a rash decision without a pro and contra."

"Why the long face, Hao'er~?" Huo Yun'er asked while leaning on the window. She has observed her son's training and marveled at his abnormal stamina.

Huo Yuhao chuckled and replied, "Nothing, Mom. I'll go to the river and wash myself up."

"Don't go for too long!" Huo Yun'er waved her hand at him. "I have cooked some breakfast for you."

"Okay." Huo Yuhao waved his hand back.

...

...

"So this is some breakfast?" Huo Yuhao looked at the dining table filled with food. "If we are poor like before, this amount of food would feed us for the whole week."

Huo Yun'er covered her mouth and answered, "Don't mind the small detail."

"Is that so?" He tilted his head, starting the devour the food like no tomorrow. High Humans have a fast metabolism compared to regular humans, which allows them to store more energy.

Huo Yun'er slowly supported her chin with her slender arm and watched Huo Yuhao eating peacefully. It is the ideal life she wanted, where Hao'er and her didn't have to worry about food and other necessities.

She curiously activated her Mystic Spirit Eyes and saw golden light gathered above Huo Yuhao's head, signifying his current luck. He has such a terrifying amount of Qi Luck.

'As expected of my Hao'er~! Such a lucky child.' She thought while humming gently.

After breakfast, Huo Yuhao drank a cup of water and stared at his mother in the kitchen. He noticed her changes, but not drastic ones. Huo Yun'er is still Huo Yun'er, despite her growing Son Complex.

"Mom, can I awaken my martial soul somewhere else?"

"No, since you're so hesitant about this matter before, let me change the question." Huo Yuhao placed the wooden cup on the table. "Can we get out of this place?"

Huo Yun'er smiled and replied, "Sure, Hao'er. I'd follow you everywhere you want."

"T-That was fast." He frowned weirdly, gaining a giggle from Huo Yun'er.

"I was thinking about this matter in the legacy realm. We are suffering in this place for too long, so maybe it's time to change for a better life." She stated honestly. As Yae said, Huo Yun'er past self is foolish.

Huo Yuhao leaned on the chair because they finally could get out of this place. He liked to deal with the White Tiger Duchess first, though. He can't let the annoying tigress be free easily.

"Hmm??" His Kenbunshoku Haki was activated. A group of people is coming to their place.

Huo Yun'er also felt the disturbance and glanced at the front door, seeing some familiar faces. "White Tiger's Guards, what are they doing here?" She put on a confused expression.

Huo Yuhao instinctively picked up Baruka's Dagger from his inventory and assumed the White Tiger's Guards were here for some reason. There is no way they found out about the head maid's assassination, leaving one possible assumption.

"The Duchess." Huo Yuhao and Huo Yun'er said at the same time.

"Huo Yun'er, we are here to arrest you for stealing the duchess's treasure." A loud voice comes from the outside.

Huo Yuhao's mouth twitched and responded with, "Bullshit."
