**Chapter 27**

  [Of course, Huo Yuhao was as cautious as ever.]

  [Even though he had determined his target for this hunt, he did not rush into the Star Dou Great Forest by himself.]

  [Instead, he went directly to the city to hire a professional soul beast-hunting team.]

  [He refused to hire soul masters from unreliable pces just to gain a small advantage.]

  [Huo Yuhao knew better than ahat entrusting his life and possessions to a group of powerful soul masters was a serious decision.]

  [As long as the other party was willing, they could take his life at any time, and he might not be able to defend himself.]

  [Therefore, even if hiring a professional team required spending more money, it was safer.]

  [When Huo Yuhao selected the merary team, he asked multiple questions to eheir reputation table before hiring them.]

  ["Hello, little brother. My name is Hong Ling, and I'm the captain of this team. May I know your name?" ]

  [The captain of the merary group was a middle-aged woman with a captivating figure. After being hired by Huo Yuhao, she greeted him with a warm smile.]

  ["Hello, sister. My name is Huo Yuhao."]

  [Huo Yuhao responded with a smile of his own.]

  [The group quickly set off on their journey.]

  [While they chatted along the way, the meraries inquired about Huo Yuhao's family situation. They found it odd that a boy so young would hire people to hunt soul beasts on his own, prompting their curiosity.]

  ["Me? I'm a child from a single-parent family. I've depended on my mother for all these years."]

  ["Unfortunately, my mother tracted a strange illness a few years ago. She is extremely weak and bedridden, uo walk far."]

  ["Our family is poor and uo afford treatment, so I've made it my goal to bee a talented soul master iure to earn money for my mother's care."]

  [Huo Yuhao didn't uand why they asked about his background, but he had prepared this answer in advance.]

  [He had always been cautious. Although hiring a merary team through a legitimate el was a step up, he didn't dare to be careless. So, he crafted this response.]

  [Through his answer, he aimed to vey that he oor, implying that there was little be in killing or robbing him.]

  [Additionally, he sought to elicit pity from them. Given his difficult circumstahey might resider if they had any harmful iions.]

  [Everything art of Huo Yuhao's pn.]

  ["I see. I didn't expect you to have such a hard life at such a young age."]

  [Sure enough, after Huo Yuhao spoke, the others regarded him with more sympathy. The merary group leader, Hong Ling, seemed to overflow with maternal affe and even embraced Huo Yuhao.]

  [However, one of the merary group members soon asked, puzzled, "But if your family situation is so difficult, why do you still e to us? While we uand, we must admit that we are indeed more expehan regur meraries."]

  [Huo Yuhao smiled bitterly: "I'm not afraid of being ughed at, but I'm afraid of dying."]

  ["My mother has been bedridden for a long time and needs me to care for her. I ot afford to die. But I've heard that hiring meraries carries a high risk of being robbed or abandoned in the wilderness. That's why I chose you; I believe you are more reliable."]

  [After saying this, Huo Yuhao looked at them with a cautious expression, pretending to be vulnerable: "Uncles and aunts, you're not bad people, right?"]

  [Seeing his i demeanor made the meraries' hearts ache, especially Hong Ling, whose maternal instincts were stirred. She smiled and reassured him:]

  ["Silly boy, we are not bad people. We will do our utmost to keep you safe on this mission. Don't worry."]

  In the gap between the pnes, a group of soul masters watched Huo Yuhao's iions and were pletely dumbfounded.

  Wang Donger: "Yuhao, are you really that good at ag?"

  Huo Yuhao: "That's not just me; that's the version of me in the parallel world. I 't act, but he seems to excel at it."

  Wang Qiuer: "Men's words be deceiving!"

  Jing Hong: "However, I must admit that Huo Yuhao in the parallel world is indeed much smarter. His vigince is notably high."

  "He will rust others easily. With his personality, it seems almost impossible for him to be deceived."

  Kong Deming: "I only say he is very ambitious. Those meraries were pletely duped by him. This kid is quite scary."

  "..."

  Everyone sighed, astonished by the as of the parallel Huo Yuhao.

  Of course, Tang San had been silent throughout.

  The more he observed Huo Yuhao in the parallel world, the more he sehat this kid was not easy to handle.

  After muptioill couldn't figure out how to tame him.

  And in the picture…

  [Huo Yuhao and his party finally ehe Star Dou Great Forest after a long journey.]

  [After searg for a while, they eventually found the target of their trip: the hidde.]

  [However, the issue was that the cultivation level of this hidde was only about a few decades, which did not meet Huo Yuhao's requirements.]

  [The soul master team didn't think much of it at first and po kill it casually before taking Huo Yuhao to look for other soul beasts.]

  [But at that moment, Huo Yuhao stopped them.]

  ["Si's useless to us, why do we o kill it?"]

  ["Uncles and aunts, why not give it a way out?"]

  [Huo Yuhao expressed his thoughts to everyone.]

  [The merary group members agreed with his request swiftly; they had formed a good rapport with Huo Yuhao along the way.]

  In the gap between the pnes,

  After witnessing his as, Wang Qiuer immediately expressed her opinion: "Yuhao in the parallel world hahis very well. He doesn't kill is indiscriminately. I admire him for that."

  Di Tian: "This human is endable."

  Gu Yuena: "Indeed. Although he kills decisively, he does not harm i beings without cause. If other humans could learn from him, the number of i soul beasts that die would certainly decrease."
