Chapter 229: The Lottery Ceremony Begins!
[As Wang Dong'er's elder and younger fathers, Huo Yuhao naturally respects Niu Tian and Tai Tan.]
[However, Huo Yuhao has always understood the hierarchy between them.]
[Although he respects Tai Tan and Niu Tian, that respect is primarily due to his deep love for Wang Donger.]
[Therefore, Huo Yuhao would never do anything to let Wang Donger down because of Tai Tan and Niu Tian.]
[Niu Tian asked him to hide the previous treasure bag from Wang Donger, which was nonsense in Huo Yuhao's opinion.]
[In fact, when Niu Tian made that suggestion, Huo Yuhao initially wanted to refuse outright.]
[But who would have thought that Wang Donger would return from the restroom just then?]
[As she came back, Tai Tan and Niu Tian stopped discussing it, so Huo Yuhao naturally didn't bring it up again.]
[Now that Tai Tan and Niu Tian have left, Huo Yuhao knows he must tell Wang Donger about this matter.]
[He loves Wang Donger deeply, and he doesn't want her to hide anything from him. He believes Wang Donger feels the same way, so he decides to reveal the truth.]
After seeing this scene on the screen, in the gap between the planes, Tai Tan and Niu Tian were so angry that they started cursing.
"Damn! This bastard is dishonest!"
"I told him not to say it, but he still did? He's such a piece of work!"
"Yeah, he's a bastard!"
"I am so angry!"
The two of them furiously cursed Huo Yuhao from the parallel world.
Meanwhile, Tang San was just as furious upon seeing this scene.
"This bastard told Dong'er everything?"
"How can my plan in the parallel world succeed like this?"
"Damn it! Huo Yuhao from this parallel world is so annoying! Original-time Huo Yuhao suits my taste better!"
He mentally griped, seething with annoyance.
On the other hand, Xiao Wu was quite satisfied with Huo Yuhao's behavior in the parallel world.
She couldn't help but say, "Right, right! That's the right way!"
"Since we are two people who love each other, there shouldn't be any secrets!"
"This parallel world's Huo Yuhao is becoming more and more appealing to me."
"In this way, I'll feel relieved if Dong'er in the parallel world marries him in the future."
The more she thought about it, the happier she felt.
Later, she even praised Huo Yuhao to Tang San, "Brother San, this parallel world's Huo Yuhao is good! Don't you think so?"
Tang San felt goosebumps after hearing this. He wanted to scold the parallel world's Huo Yuhao, but he knew he couldn't.
So he reluctantly replied, "Yes, this kid is really good."
Xiao Wu quickly changed the subject: "But I'm still more curious about what's in that brocade bag."
"I hope the parallel world's Huo Yuhao can open it soon so my doubts can be resolved."
Tang San's expression became a bit awkward after hearing this. He had no choice but to change the subject again to avoid revealing the truth.
Meanwhile, Wang Dong'er couldn't help but speak after watching this scene: "Yuhao, although I am grateful to you for what happened earlier, I hope you can be like the Huo Yuhao in the parallel world."
"Don't hide anything from me, okay?"
"If you encounter any problems, let's face them together. Hiding them is not true love to me."
She had been holding these words in her heart for a long time.
Huo Yuhao was willing to give up his life for her, which moved her. But she had hoped he would communicate openly with her instead of silently bearing everything alone.
After all, they were partners who loved each other and intended to live together in the future. She didn't like the idea of Huo Yuhao taking on everything alone.
Wang Dong'er had never had the chance to express this before, but Huo Yuhao's actions in the parallel world finally inspired her to speak up.
"Is that so?"
"I understand."
Huo Yuhao absorbed everything Wang Dong'er had just said.
He truly felt Wang Dong'er's words made sense, and upon reflection, he realized he had indeed been too impulsive.
So he quickly agreed with her perspective: "Well, don't hide anything from me anymore in the future."
Wang Dong'er was very happy to hear this, and then she looked back at the screen.
At that moment, on the screen:
[After learning this, Wang Dong'er couldn't help but kiss Huo Yuhao on the cheek.]
["Thank you, Yuhao, for not hiding anything from me."]
[Huo Yuhao hugged her tightly and replied: "Silly, there's no need to thank me. I will never hide anything from you."]
[Wang Dong'er was even more moved by his sweet words and couldn't help but kiss him multiple times.]
[After a long time, she calmed down a little, her face flushed.]
[She turned her attention back to the brocade bag: "But what's inside?"]
["My father gave this to you and asked you not to let me know, so it must contain something he doesn't want me to find out."]
["The more you try to hide it, the more I want to know."]
["Yuhao, can you open it now?"]
[Huo Yuhao shook his head: "I can't open it."]
[Wang Dong'er returned the brocade bag to Huo Yuhao: "Then I can't open it either. You keep it for now."]
["Wait until you can open it and let me see what's written inside."]
[Huo Yuhao nodded to Wang Dong'er.]
[Then they didn't waste too much time. After taking a shower and drying their hair, they hugged each other and fell asleep as usual.]
[One night passed in a flash.]
[The next day, the Soul Master Competition began, and the entire Star Luo Imperial City became lively.]
[As contestants, Huo Yuhao and the others arrived at the competition venue early in the morning.]
[They waited for the Star Luo Emperor, the organizer of the event, to give a speech.]
[The Star Luo Emperor spoke for a long time before concluding his address. Afterward, it was time for the draw ceremony for the first round of all teams in the Soul Master Competition.]
[To ensure fairness, the drawing process was conducted openly, and each school sent someone to participate.]
[At this moment, Xuan Zi, the leader of the Shrek team, left the team and walked up to the draw table.]
