"Only by staying here will my divine sense be truly nourished, and also be able to wash away the filth of the Rakshasa's divine power. In the process of being revived with a physical body, to perfectly fit the new physical body, only then can I truly help you in the future."
What Bibi Dong had not yet said was that only by truly leaving her protection could Huo Yuhao truly grow and become stronger.
"But I can't bear to part with you."
Huo Yuhao blurted out. But the moment he had said these words, he saw Bibi Dong shake her head at him.
When Huo Yuhao saw the expectation in her beautiful eyes, he suddenly understood Bibi Dong's heart!
He forcefully gripped her hand, and Huo Yuhao took a deep breath.
"Alright. I will let your divine sense stay here, to recuperate in this piece of the Gold of Life."
Huo Yuhao no longer insisted. The road ahead, perhaps he had to walk it alone.
This was another growth of his. On the growth path of every expert, it was inevitable to part with all sorts of people. This was something Huo Yuhao had to experience.
It was just that, the thought of the following days without this empress's companionship, his heart still inevitably felt a kind of unaccustomed feeling.
"Be good. You are already... no longer a child—"
Bibi Dong gently caressed his cheek. She also couldn't bear to part with him—
However, the Rakshasa's divine power was completely exhausted. If she could not promptly enter the Gold of Life to be nourished, this wisp of Bibi Dong's divine sense was afraid that it would completely dissipate between heaven and earth.
"Your Majesty the Empress," Huo Yuhao suddenly called out.
"Hmm?" Bibi Dong suddenly sensed that the spiritual connection between her and the youth had been cut off by him.
"The next Yelin City Lantern Festival, I will accompany you to admire the lanterns."
The moment these words came out, Bibi Dong's pair of beautiful eyes suddenly widened. The youth's words were like a ray of dawn that had cut through the dark clouds in her heart, straight to the depths of her heart.
Yelin City, the Lantern Festival...
That was the biggest regret in her life.
"Alright..."
---
More than a month had passed.
Huo Yuhao's injuries had basically recovered by seventy to eighty percent on the pedestal of the Gold of Life. The remaining injuries were the still-remaining ultimate yin and ultimate evil Rakshasa divine power in his body, which was wantonly destroying. Fortunately, the speed of his recovery far surpassed the speed of destruction. Even if he left this pedestal of the Gold of Life, Huo Yuhao was confident that he could completely clear out the Rakshasa divine power that was causing trouble in his body within half a year.
Bibi Dong's soul had already entered the pedestal of the Gold of Life a month ago. By opening his Spirit Eyes with his Divine Origin realm spiritual power, Huo Yuhao could see a faint, beautiful figure lying within, like a sleeping beauty.
When he truly got the materials to revive her, perhaps that would be the time the two would meet again!
Three high-level flames, the Bone-Generating and Blood-Fusing Pill, the essence and blood of a divine beast, and the skeleton of a god!
Among them, the medicinal materials for the Bone-Generating and Blood-Fusing Pill, Huo Yuhao knew very well where to find them. And that place would also be his and his partners' next destination.
The rare and precious land that had been enclosed by the Buddha and taken as his own, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!
The moment Huo Yuhao had poked his head out of the Lake of Life, he had been detected by the divine sense that Gu Yuena had left here. Before he could even swim to the shore, Gu Yuena's delicate body, accompanied by a silver light, had appeared before him.
"What? You've learned how to swim?" Gu Yuena sized him up with a half-smile. "You, this landlubber, learn quite fast!"
Huo Yuhao knew that this was a design that Gu Yuena had deliberately given him. If he hadn't learned how to swim, it would have been very difficult for him to, with his soul power, withstand the life torrent and return to the lake's surface.
To this, Huo Yuhao just laughed, his eyes sweeping over Gu Yuena's delicate and dripping red lips. He subconsciously smacked his lips and said, "Thanks to you, I have not failed my mission!"
A flush of red flashed across Gu Yuena's pretty face. To this day, she still remembered the scene of this boy taking advantage of her. She immediately, without any argument, used the water element to transform into a pair of scissors and, in her hand, made a "snip snip" cutting motion.
Huo Yuhao's small face immediately became deathly pale. Little Huo faintly ached. He also remembered a certain pain.
"You're no good, boy," Gu Yuena was very happy to see Huo Yuhao suffer a setback and couldn't help but tease.
Huo Yuhao fiercely shot her a glare and crawled back onto the shore with a miserable look.
Well now! You just wait! One day I will get the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King, and temper for my own big brother a body of indestructible steel, and then come and meet you, this dragon king!
Before long, Huo Yuhao's companions, upon hearing the news, all rushed over to reunite with him. In this one-plus month in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest, having received the baptism of the purest life aura, everyone had more or less improved by one or two levels.
Huo Yuhao quickly turned his gaze to the Nine Heart Begonia martial soul soul master, Ye Linlin, whose face was a little unnatural in the crowd.
For this marginal character who had not appeared at all in the original world line, Huo Yuhao did not have much of a feeling. Just a pure healing-type soul master.
However, after experiencing several dangerous situations, Huo Yuhao had finally understood the importance of a healer to a team. He couldn't possibly have Bi Ji follow by his side at all times.
"There is no enmity between us. It's not to the point of destroying the only successor of your Nine Heart Begonia martial soul. If you plan to go back to Shrek Academy, I will send you out on the way."
Huo Yuhao came before Ye Linlin and stood still, asking casually.
Hearing his words, Ye Linlin was somewhat at a loss. She subconsciously glanced at Huo Yuhao's group of partners. After getting along for this one-plus month, she could clearly feel the huge gap between her and this group of people. And these gaps were all because they had chosen to follow Huo Yuhao that they had gradually left Ye Linlin, these students who had enrolled in the same batch, behind.
One must know that the Xie Huanye who had just enrolled could not even beat Dai Huabin in a one-on-one. A year later, Xie Huanyue could already, with his own strength, defeat the only Soul Emperor of the Shrek team, and a Soul Emperor whose martial soul had mutated into an evil one at that.
The Nine Heart Begonia martial soul was extremely difficult to cultivate. They originally did not have any combat ability. The youngest Nine Heart Begonia Titled Douluo in history had also only stepped into the level ninety threshold at the high age of seventy.
In order to be able to possess a certain combat ability, Ye Linlin had in the end chosen the soul tool department. But the teaching philosophy of Shrek's soul tool department was truly too backward. After a year of hard work, she had only just barely touched the threshold of a level-one soul tool master.
And Ju Zi, who had studied at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy since she was young, was less than five years older than her, yet was already a true level-five soul tool master.
Ju Zi could best understand Huo Yuhao's intentions. The reason he had left this healing-type soul master was surely because of that thought.
So during this period of time, it had been Ju Zi who had been accompanying this Nine Heart Begonia soul master. She had not said a single word to rope Ye Linlin in, but had just continuously shown her the excellence of her partners, as well as the power of soul tools.
It was precisely because the people of the Nine Heart Begonia were rare and passed down in one line that they were not as traditional as the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. On the contrary, they were willing to develop in other aspects.
This was also the reason why Ye Linlin had proactively reported to the soul tool department when she had just enrolled. It was a pity that she did not have any soul skill to amplify herself, which had led to her progress being so slow.
But the group of young men and women before her had let her see hope. Especially their wonderful performance in the tournament, which had thus planted a seed in the depths of the heart of this Nine Heart Begonia soul master. With Huo Yuhao leading a group of ferocious beasts to complete the magnificent feat of defeating a god, the seed had also gradually taken root and sprouted, finally growing into a towering giant tree.
"Huo Yuhao, I want to follow you and your partners. Although this is very presumptuous, this is my personal thought," Ye Linlin lowered her head and thought for a moment. In the end, she summoned her courage and made a decision that would make her proud for the rest of her life.
Xie Huanyue and a group of Huo Yuhao's partners looked at each other and smiled. Ye Linlin's healing ability, they had a deep experience of. It was simply a miracle. Even if her martial soul only had this one ability of healing!
"Alright. Since you have decided so, then I will not stop you. Welcome to the group," Huo Yuhao knew very well the principle of not using a person one suspects, and not suspecting a person one uses. He very straightforwardly agreed.
Ju Zi smiled and extended her hand to her. "In the future, everyone will be companions who will live and die together."
"Haha! I won't have to worry about being injured from messing around in the future!" Xie Huanyue raised his two hands and cheered. Just like Huo Yuhao, he had no doubt and directly treated Ye Linlin as his own companion.
"I also never thought that one day I would become a companion with a Nine Heart Begonia soul master," Ning Tian also walked up and showed her a friendly smile. One must know that ten thousand years ago, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Nine Heart Begonia lineage were still mortal enemies.
The long-standing confusion and worry were swept away. Ye Linlin excitedly took Ju Zi's hand and couldn't help but choke up.
"Thank you... thank you everyone for being willing to accept me..."
"Alright. In the future, we are all our own people. It's just that I have to remind you that we are already standing on the opposite side of countless people. It's still not too late for you to regret it now," Huo Yuhao reminded with a smile.
Ye Linlin repeatedly shook her head. "I don't regret it. Rather than staying in that man-eating place of Shrek, it's better to try and walk a path different from my ancestors. Following everyone to join the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy and to become an outstanding soul tool master like Sister Ju Zi."
"Wait a moment. You want to join our Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy? I haven't agreed yet!"
A light flashed. It was the Meng Hongchen who had been supressed in the Kamui space for a long time who had jumped out.
Ever since she had been saved by Huo Yuhao that day, Meng Hongchen had had enough of the sunless Kamui space. Now she was finally let out by Huo Yuhao. She couldn't help but want to vent her emotions.
"Little Meng, I estimate that the Hall Master, his old self, will be very happy to learn of Huo Yuhao and his companions' joining," Ju Zi couldn't help but laugh.
"I hope they don't have any bad intentions!" Meng Hongchen had an arrogant look, which made everyone can't help but be amused.
"Hmph hmph! It's better if you don't have any bad intentions! Yuhao belongs to me, Ning Tian, Yun'er, Yejie, and also Ju Zi. It's not enough for you all to divide!" Wu Feng, who was unhappy with her arrogant and willful nature, directly led the topic astray.
The moment Wu Feng's such fierce words came out, Ju Zi, Ning Tian, Cui Yejie, and Nanmen Yun'er all had their pretty faces turn red. Ye Linlin was directly stunned on the spot.
Meng Hongchen was immediately shamed into anger. "Who would have any thoughts about this fickle fellow? Among our peers, there are still... still..."
Speaking to the end, Meng Hongchen suddenly got stuck. She was shocked to realize that among the younger generation of the entire continent, it seemed there was no one who could compare to Huo Yuhao anymore!
Even Xiao Hongchen, who was known as a once-in-a-century genius soul tool master, was still working hard for the Sun Moon team to win the championship. But Huo Yuhao, not long ago, had already been clashing head-on with a god...
The fact that Wang Dong was a girl in disguise was like a steel knife that had shattered Meng Hongchen's fantasy. Immediately, the scene of the white-haired Huo Yuhao descending from the sky had fiercely poked her heart. It seemed... that fellow's white-haired appearance was also very handsome...
Heavens, what am I thinking! Meng Hongchen suddenly felt her pretty face heat up. Seeing her appearance, a trace of hostility immediately arose in the other few girls.
"There is no longer any peer in this world who is more outstanding than Yuhao," Cui Yejie added quietly.
"Sorry. You are all not worthy of him."
Just at this time, a bone-chilling cold descended. The Snow Empress, sensing Huo Yuhao's aura, had also arrived here not long ago. She just happened to hear their statements of fighting over Huo Yuhao.
"Boy, you're quite lucky with the ladies, aren't you?" A dangerous smile appeared on the face of Gu Yuena, who was by Huo Yuhao's side. One hand passed through space, fiercely pinching the soft flesh on Huo Yuhao's waist, and then twisted it one hundred and eighty degrees.
Huo Yuhao was sweating profusely, a waterfall of sweat, the sweat of Genghis Khan!
His own harem wasn't just on fire. It had directly exploded!
The key was that he himself also didn't know when so many girls had begun to pay attention to him.
If Xie Huanyue knew his thoughts, he would surely not be able to help but spray him in the face: You boy, you're showing off everywhere all day, acting cool in all sorts of situations, being a hero saving a beauty, a four-ring fighting a god. You're properly the number one of the younger generation on the continent. Unless these girls are blind, only then would they not fall for you!
It's still better to be single! Xie Huanyue thought to himself.
It was just that for some reason, Xie Huanyue had been sneezing a lot recently. It seemed he had caught a cold?
In the distant Star Luo Imperial Palace, Her Highness Princess Jiujiu sat up from her large boudoir bed with hatred, smashing everything she could smash before her.
"Damn fatty! Stinking Xie Huanyue! Why did you appear in this old lady's dream again!"
