Chapter 73 The Revenge Plan Begins
Sunlight streamed through the window, casting dappled shadows on the sheer curtains. A gentle breeze wafted into the dormitory, causing the curtains to flutter softly. The interplay of light and shadow shimmered on the surface of the bathtub water, where a handsome young man with flowing black hair leaned lazily against the wooden plank, closing his eyes for a moment of rest.
Since the freshman assessment ended, Huo Yuhao finally found a moment to rest. When he returned to his dormitory from Seagod Lake, Wang Dong wasn't there because of the morning class, which gave him the opportunity to take a hot bath.
Since his birth, Huo Yuhao has rarely had the opportunity to take a hot bath. Back in the White Tiger Duke's mansion, he and his mother struggled to even have enough to eat, let alone afford hot water for a bath.
After leaving the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, he was busy making money all year round, traveling between the Star Dou Great Forest and the markets of the surrounding major cities. Whenever he had a spare moment, he would just find a stream or lake to rinse himself off.
He only took a hot shower on his first day at Shrek Academy. After that, because Wang Dong moved in, he just rinsed off with cold water and that was it. On the contrary, this brat who was dressed as a boy always wanted to take hot showers, taking up a lot of his time and getting Huo Yuhao kicked out of the dormitory.
Later, after Wang Dong became familiar with Huo Yuhao's schedule, he moved the time for taking a bath to coincide with Huo Yuhao's time studying at the Soul Guidance Department.
Even so, taking a hot shower is still a troublesome thing for Huo Yuhao, and he rarely encounters a good opportunity like now when no one is in the dormitory.
After a short nap, a sleepy-eyed Huo Yuhao stretched lazily in the bathtub. The water had cooled down by now, so he decided not to soak any longer.
After jumping out of the bathtub and drying himself off with a thick towel, Huo Yuhao changed into a clean new school uniform.
He then tidied himself up briefly and carried the bath tub to the washroom.
Just then, a figure slowly walked out from inside. With long golden hair, a cold and handsome face, and double pupils in his blue eyes, it was none other than Dai Huabin, whom they hadn't seen for two days.
Huo Yuhao didn't say anything, just left him standing there. After emptying the bathwater, he picked up a brush and started scrubbing the tub.
Huo Yuhao knew that Dai Huabin had been under a puppet spell and had been waiting for his orders since waking up. However, because the two had been far apart, Dai Huabin hadn't been able to pinpoint Huo Yuhao's location accurately, which was why Huo Yuhao had been delayed.
Now that his enemy had become his puppet, standing by waiting for him to give orders, Huo Yuhao was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.
He had considered killing Dai Huabin more than once, but when the opportunity was right in front of him, he had to temporarily give up the idea of torturing his enemy to death for the sake of his future plans and the impact on the academy.
Huo Yuhao frantically scrubbed the bathtub with a brush, the bristles scraping so hard that the wooden board was slightly splintered, before he reluctantly put down his work.
The Spirit Eyes lit up, simulating a release!
Huo Yuhao turned around and looked at Dai Huabin, who was bowing his head to him. The image of his deceased mother being beaten because of Dai Huabin immediately flooded his mind. Anger and resentment instantly broke through Huo Yuhao's mental defenses. His fists clenched as hard as rocks, and he uncontrollably threw a hook punch into Dai Huabin's abdomen.
"Cough! Ugh!" The pain from the heavy blow made Dai Huabin, who was completely unprepared, feel like his eyes were about to bulge out. He immediately knelt on the ground, clutching his stomach and dry heaving frantically.
Huo Yuhao was able to release some of the negative emotions that had been building up inside him, but once his rationality returned, he wouldn't continue doing such a meaningless thing.
Because what he wanted was not simply to torture Dai Huabin.
What Huo Yuhao truly desires is the complete annihilation of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion! He wants the White Tiger lineage to be utterly destroyed! He wants Dai Hao and the Duchess to suffer a fate worse than death! He even wants to kill the Dai family's ancestor who has already become a god—Dai Mubai!
Huo Yuhao was determined to ruthlessly sever all traces related to the Evil-Eyed White Tiger!
Huo Yuhao crouched down, his eyes drooping, and expressionless, grabbed Dai Huabin by the neck, pulling him close. He whispered in his ear, "I want you to use any means necessary to fight Dai Yueheng for the White Tiger Duke's inheritance. Before that, you must compile all the secrets of the White Tiger Duke's mansion into a book and hand it over to me. The soul imprint will lead you to someone; if you need any trustworthy help, go to him. Both of you must do everything flawlessly; the slightest mistake will result in your own death!"
His voice was cold and resentful, like a vengeful ghost crawling out of hell.
Dai Huabin's body trembled involuntarily, whether from instinct or from a fear etched into his soul, he didn't know. He knelt on the ground and lowered his head to Huo Yuhao.
"Yes, my master."
Huo Yuhao ignored him and turned to leave the bathroom.
Dai Huabin then stood up, his usual cold and stern expression returning, and quietly left the spot.
The revenge plan has officially begun, and the first step went very smoothly. Huo Yuhao's long-held obsession has finally blossomed. Although there is still a considerable distance to go before the final result, it is enough to make Huo Yuhao feel good for quite some time.
With the matter temporarily resolved, Huo Yuhao checked the time. His morning classes were almost over, and he planned to find Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao for lunch. After all, they must be quite worried about him having been "missing" for so long. If he didn't show up soon, Huo Yuhao was certain Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao would eventually find Yan Shaozhe.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, he'd better hurry over. He hadn't attended any classes after the freshman assessment, and Huo Yuhao definitely couldn't skip the afternoon classes again.
By the time Huo Yuhao reached the teaching building, the bell had just rung, signaling the end of get out of class. He hurriedly took advantage of the brief lull in the crowd and ran towards his classroom.
Wang Yan tidied up his lecture notes and said with a smile, "get out of class is over, everyone go and eat. This afternoon, Teacher Mu Jin will lead a practical class. I'll come see you if I have time. Remember not to be late."
"Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Wang."
Goodbye, Teacher Wang.
Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao exchanged a glance across several seats, then huddled together.
"Xiao Xiao, that bastard Huo Yuhao didn't come home all night yesterday!"
"Could something have happened to him? Did that senior girl named Ma Xiaotao you were talking about yesterday do anything to Yuhao?"
"I can't say! Who knows what that senior looks like? She was wearing a mask last time! What if she's not bad-looking? That guy Huo Yuhao..."
"Senior, you can't be an old cow eating young grass, can you?" Xiao Xiao said, frowning.
Wang Dong's eyes widened, and he said seriously, "That Huo Yuhao guy is definitely a scumbag! He looks like he's just there to seduce girls! What if Senior Sister likes that type?"
Xiao Xiao rolled her eyes at Wang Dong, thinking to herself, "You're pretty much the same, aren't you? Where do you get the nerve to talk about Yuhao like that? If you didn't have a problem with your orientation, I bet a lot of girls would have been after you by now!"
Well, the news that Wang Dong has a questionable orientation was spread by Xiao Xiao when she was gossiping with others.
Just then, a figure walked over and decisively delivered a chop to Wang Dong's head.
"Ouch! Who is it?"
A familiar voice came from behind them, "You two! What kind of nonsense are you making up for me now?"
