"How are you?" Snow Emperor came to Huo Yuhao's side, grabbing his hand and probing his injuries with Soul Power.
Her expression immediately changed. Seven-tenths of Huo Yuhao's meridians were shattered and beyond repair. He would likely become an invalid.
But would Huo Yuhao truly be crippled? The answer was, of course, no. He shook his head slightly and took out a small, jade-green knife exuding life energy from between his eyebrows.
Without a word, Huo Yuhao plunged the knife into his own thigh.
Snow Emperor: "..."
What was this? Self-harm?
Ice Bear King and Jiang Nannan were also baffled, staring blankly.
After a few breaths, Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, his ashen face easing slightly. Then he pulled out the knife and turned it toward Snow Emperor.
Snow Emperor didn't dodge, her sky-blue eyes fixed on Huo Yuhao. After what had just happened, she knew this man wouldn't hurt her.
Pfft!
The sound of a blade entering flesh echoed. Snow Emperor was slightly startled; she could feel pure energy flowing into her body from the small knife, rapidly healing her injuries.
This small knife was, of course, the Soul Devouring Engraving Knife Huo Yuhao had bid on at the Starlight Auction House. Later, the evil energy and resentful spirits inside were purified, so it was called the Gold of Living Beings.
The Gold of Living Beings could absorb the life force of objects without intelligence, and this life energy would be stored. Huo Yuhao had just used the stored life energy to heal himself.
A moment later, Huo Yuhao put away the Gold of Living Beings. Seeing Snow Emperor still looking at him, he couldn't help but laugh, "Snow Emperor, are you touched?"
Snow Emperor: "You almost died, you know?"
"But I'm here, safe and sound."
Huo Yuhao smiled indifferently, but he was also terrified in his heart. Only those who had truly faced a heavenly tribulation knew how terrifying it was. That wasn't some sort of trial; it was clearly designed to kill the person undergoing the tribulation.
Fortunately, there was the Bright Realm, which was an unreasonable existence. Huo Yuhao could almost be said to have gathered all the strength of the Body Sect to help the Snow Emperor. Of course, that wasn't entirely accurate, because the Bright Realm could only provide Huo Yuhao with sufficient Soul Power, but couldn't directly boost his strength.
A smile played on Huo Yuhao's lips. Although this time was dangerous, it was also a test for the Bright Realm and for himself.
Creating a small world was usually something top-tier powerhouses did to house their clans or other living beings.
But the Bright Realm was different. It was an energy world. Huo Yuhao's original intention in building it was to serve himself and improve his strength, not to benefit others.
After this test, Huo Yuhao also understood his own position. Under normal circumstances, he was comparable to a Super Douluo. If he went all out, he could even fight with someone like Xuanzi, who was at level ninety-eight.
If he was willing to go all out, and detonate the Bright Realm, he could even take a Limit Douluo down with him.
Now, Huo Yuhao could finally be considered a true member of the continent's strong. In the future, as the Bright Realm developed, his progress would only accelerate.
"Was it worth it? You know, if you hadn't intervened just now, you'd already have that 790,000-year Soul Ring," the Snow Emperor said.
Huo Yuhao didn't care at all. He boldly placed a hand on the Snow Emperor's cheek and said, "So what if it's a 790,000-year Soul Ring? I don't rely on Soul Rings or Soul Skills. It would only increase my Soul Power by a few levels, and I'm not worried about my cultivation speed now."
He paused, then said with deep affection, "None of that is as important as you, Snow Emperor. Do you remember what I said to you before your tribulation?"
The Snow Emperor was taken aback. What had she said? Wasn't it about her becoming his Soul Ring? But she heard Huo Yuhao explain, "I said, if you can't get through it, then you're mine."
Feeling the man's large hand on her face, the Snow Emperor finally understood. Huo Yuhao was playing a word game with her. What he wanted wasn't her Soul Ring or Soul Bone, but her, the person.
The Snow Emperor was silent, but she didn't object to Huo Yuhao's touch.
"Can you give me some time?"
The Snow Emperor's thin lips parted slightly, and she spoke softly, her delicate face blushing, making her exceptionally beautiful.
Huo Yuhao stared blankly, captivated as always by Snow Emperor. She always had this effect on him, drawing him in, making him lose himself.
"Alright, I'll wait for you." Huo Yuhao smiled, coming back to his senses. Then, he changed the subject, "Snow Emperor, since I worked so hard just now, can I have a little reward?"
"What do you want…" Snow Emperor started to ask, but trailed off.
Huo Yuhao moved closer, embracing Snow Emperor and claiming her lips. Her beautiful eyes widened in disbelief that he would dare to be so forward.
His actions were a bit overbearing and rough, and his mouth tasted of blood. Snow Emperor thought of how he had risked his life to shield her from the heavenly tribulation. Her expression shifted subtly, and she allowed Huo Yuhao to have his way.
After a long while, Huo Yuhao released Snow Emperor, gazing at the stunning beauty before him. He knew Snow Emperor wasn't as resistant to him as before.
It was the classic damsel in distress scenario, but it worked, didn't it?
"Snow Emperor, you can't escape," Huo Yuhao whispered in her ear.
Snow Emperor's face flushed again, and she huffed, "Are you satisfied?"
"It's not enough. I'll be satisfied when you become my woman."
Snow Emperor didn't continue the topic, instead asking, "How will you explain this to Bing'er when you go back?"
Explain? What explanation was needed? Huo Yuhao laughed upon hearing this. "Snow Emperor, Bing'er already saw that I was after you. You didn't know? Before I came here, she even encouraged me to take you. I guess you could say I'm marrying with her blessing."
Snow Emperor's lips twitched. She felt Bing'er was truly a strange one, encouraging her own man to find other women. She was certainly open-minded.
Snow Emperor turned her head away from Huo Yuhao, her voice like a mosquito's hum, "Call me Xue'er from now on."
The voice was very soft, but Huo Yuhao heard it clearly. Overjoyed, he immediately wanted to get closer to Xue'er again, but at this moment, an unwelcome visitor approached.
Ice Bear King Little White came running over, then prostrated itself before Huo Yuhao, its large head pressed to the ground, its eyes filled with a look of entreaty.
Huo Yuhao was initially annoyed to be interrupted, but seeing Little White like this, he understood. Little White was using this method to thank him, to thank him for saving its mother.
Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao smiled slightly and touched its fat face to show his friendliness.
"Dad!" Little White spoke, bringing with it gusts of wind.
Huo Yuhao's outstretched hand froze, his expression as if he'd eaten something disgusting, and the corners of his mouth twitched wildly. Who the hell was his dad? He didn't have a son this big.
"Little White, what are you yelling about?" Snow Emperor was even more ashamed and angry.
"Ah, Snow Emperor Mother, shouldn't I call him Dad? You two just now..."
Clearly, Little White was referring to the kiss the two had just shared. In its understanding, Snow Emperor was its mother, and Huo Yuhao was in that kind of relationship with Snow Emperor, so wasn't Huo Yuhao its dad?
Although Huo Yuhao was a human, the scene of Huo Yuhao risking his life to save Snow Emperor just now made Little White very convinced of this dad.
"Little White, you listen to me, you're not allowed to call me Dad. Next time you dare to call me that, I'll beat you so badly your mother won't recognize you."
Huo Yuhao said angrily. He believed that after what had just happened with the lightning tribulation, this guy wouldn't dare to mess with him.
Sure enough, Little White's chubby body trembled when he heard Huo Yuhao's words.
"Then, what should I call you?"
Little White's tone actually sounded a bit aggrieved. What was going on here? He was volunteering to be someone's son, and if you didn't want him, that was fine, but you're going to hit me?
"I don't care, call me Big Brother or Boss, just don't call me Dad."
Huo Yuhao's face darkened. He had no interest in being someone's godfather.
In the original story, Dai Yuhao was called Dad by the Snow Emperor, and Tang San's son, Tang Wulin, also liked to have Gu Yue call him Dad. Huo Yuhao suspected that they had watched some kind of instructional video and had some special preferences.
The Snow Emperor saw Huo Yuhao's darkening face and covered her mouth, trying to suppress a laugh.
In the end, Little White called Huo Yuhao "Boss," and the way he said it was so smooth and natural, there wasn't a hint of awkwardness.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao finally had time to focus on Jiang Nannan. He pulled Snow Emperor over and said to Jiang Nannan, "Jiang Nannan, let me introduce you. This is Snow Emperor, the leader of the three great kings of the Extreme North. Her true form is the Heavenly Snow Woman, and she currently has an 800,000-year cultivation."
Jiang Nannan nodded with difficulty. What had happened today had been too shocking for her.
First was Huo Yuhao's ridiculously overpowered strength, and then there was the relationship between Huo Yuhao and Snow Emperor. Beast-human? This was too exciting.
