Space tore open, and a bright yellow light appeared among the mountains, revealing two figures.
Titan looked at Wang Dong, who was enveloped by his soul power, with a puzzled expression. "Dong'er, you want to go to the Sun Moon Empire?"
Wang Dong nodded, looking westward, a smile playing on her lips. "There's someone there I want to see."
Titan pondered for a moment, then couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that you really have someone you like?"
Hearing this, Wang Dong didn't refute, but her pretty face flushed.
Titan frowned. "Girl, it's hard for your second father to say who you like, but the only problem is that he's from the Sun Moon Empire."
"Huh?" Wang Dong was taken aback and quickly said, "Second father, what are you talking about? Yuhao is also from Shrek Academy, and he's a disciple of Dean Yan, the Phoenix Douluo. He only went to the Sun Moon Empire because the academy has an exchange student cooperation with the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy."
"Also from Shrek Academy?" Titan's eyes lit up. "Then it's alright. Come on, come on, your second father will take you there now, and I'll also go see who this rascal is."
"Hehe, second father, you don't mind that I have someone I like?" Wang Dong seemed to have forgotten everything that happened in the Clear Sky Sect and asked with a grin.
Titan laughed heartily, "That Yuhao is someone you like. What can we, as your parents, say but support you? I believe not only my eldest brother, but also my second father, trust your choice, Xiaodong. That boy must truly be worthy of your affection; otherwise, with your quirky personality, it would be strange if you liked him."
Wang Dong's beautiful eyes flickered, tears welling up. She had actually liked Huo Yuhao for some time, but the presence of Tang Wutong's soul had always affected her, preventing her from expressing it. Perhaps it was the support of her closest elders that made her feel so relaxed.
However…
she had escaped the Haotian Sect. If she found Yuhao and expressed her feelings, what if Tang San really came one day? Wouldn't that harm Yuhao?
Thinking this, Wang Dong suddenly felt a pang of unease.
"Why are you crying?" Titan noticed the tears in Wang Dong's eyes and panicked. "Did that kid do something to wrong you? Your second father will deal with him later."
Wang Dong smiled through her tears. "Yuhao has always been good to me. I just think about my current identity; it seems dangerous no matter where I go. I don't want to harm him."
Hearing this, Titan's mood sank. With Tang San's personality, he would definitely make a move. But seeing Wang Dong's disappointed expression, Titan immediately smiled. "Silly girl, didn't your eldest father say we have a way to stop Tang San? Do you think we're lying to you?"
Wang Dong said anxiously, "But that would cost you your lives."
"Heh." Titan scoffed. "That was just your eldest father teasing you. Compared to Tang San, we are indeed ants, but in the God Realm, there is an enemy of Tang San whose strength is no less than his, perhaps even stronger. If Tang San causes trouble, we brothers can simply abandon the darkness and join the light. Don't worry, everything will be fine."
Wang Dong was stunned for a moment. "Second Father, you're not lying to Dong'er?"
Titan smiled kindly. "I can't lie to my Dong'er, can I?"
"Whoosh." Wang Dong's face lit up with joy, but as a Soul Master, she didn't notice the hint of apprehension in Titan's kind eyes.
That Tang San guy is vengeful; he'll be in trouble later. Looks like I'll have to drink more wine, lest I get killed and miss out on enjoying it.
Wait… Titan's eyes suddenly widened. Join the God of Destruction?
Hmm, this method seems feasible.
He didn't know about other things, but the God of Destruction was truly devoted to his subordinates.
Looking at Wang Dong's smiling face, Titan suddenly made a decision.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Come on, your second father will take you to the Sun Moon Empire." Titan waved his hand, leading Wang Dong back into the spatial rift and heading into the distance.
...
Putting down his drawing brush and putting away his blueprints, Huo Yuhao walked to the window. Looking at the still brightly lit city of Mingdu, the worry in his eyes grew stronger.
He climbed back into bed and began to meditate.
The next morning.
After breakfast, and a brief exchange with the other students, He Caitou and the others hurriedly went to the laboratory, waiting for their instructor to lead them into the Mingde Hall.
It has to be said that He Caitou and the others were quite envious of Huo Yuhao, being able to freely enter and leave the Mingde Hall.
Huo Yuhao wasn't in a hurry either. On his way to the Mingde Hall, he was surrounded by Sun Moon students hurrying by. Although the sparring was memorable, it was all in the past. Everyone had their own things to do, and no one would pay attention to an outsider like him all the time.
On the path leading to Mingde Hall, there was a dense forest path lined with ancient trees on both sides. A sliver of sunlight occasionally pierced through the leaves, struggling to penetrate the ground.
"Careful!"
Suddenly, just as Huo Yuhao reached the halfway point of the path, Electrolux's alert voice rang out.
Huo Yuhao reacted almost instantly, unleashing his full soul power and mental energy. However, the next moment, everything around him seemed to freeze. To his shock, his soul power and mental energy were also completely sealed.
The wind froze in the air, the leaves floated motionless, and time seemed to stand still.
"What's going on? The scoundrels are here?" Huo Yuhao tensed up.
"Young man, come with me."
A bold yet unfamiliar male voice rang out. Huo Yuhao's pupils contracted, because before him, space shattered like a broken mirror. As countless spatial fragments enveloped his body, Huo Yuhao vanished from his spot in the next instant.
"Whoosh." A gentle breeze blew again, stirring the leaves. Some more people from Mingde Hall entered the forest path, but no one noticed the strange occurrence.
Chaos, disorientation—Huo Yuhao saw distorted light. It seemed like a spatial passage. He warily observed everything around him until a bright light appeared beneath his feet. With the blinding light, he instinctively closed his eyes.
When his feet touched something soft, Huo Yuhao shook his head, sensing that his soul power and spiritual power had been unsealed. He was about to explode.
"Yuhao."
But the next moment, a clear and melodious female voice rang out.
His momentum abruptly subsided, and Huo Yuhao opened his eyes sharply. After seeing who was standing in front of him, he froze.
It was a young girl wearing a white and blue fitted long dress. Her smooth, light blue hair cascaded down her back. Her skin was very white, smooth as cream, without any flaws. In the sunlight, it had a healthy rosy glow. Even though her pretty face still had a touch of immaturity, it couldn't erase her stunning beauty. Her bright, lively eyes were looking at him with gentle eyes.
If he had to describe her in one word, it would probably be "youthful and lively. "
Looking at the vibrant Wang Dong appearing before him, Huo Yuhao's previously anxious heart finally settled.
Looking at Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong smiled, her red lips curving upwards. "You said you'd get me grilled fish if I wanted it, and now I want some. You promised me you'd get me as much as I wanted, so don't lie to me."
A thousand emotions coalesced into a smile, and Huo Yuhao nodded solemnly.
Good, the person who returned was still someone he knew well.
"You're Huo Yuhao?" A sudden voice rang out, and Huo Yuhao realized that Wang Dong couldn't have taken him away from afar. He turned his head and saw an incredibly burly middle-aged man staring at him.
"Senior." Looking at the man's hair, which resembled steel needles, Huo Yuhao already knew who he was: the Titan Giant Ape, Er Ming.
Titan sized up Huo Yuhao, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. In his perception, Huo Yuhao's mental and soul power were exceptionally strong. However, considering this kid had snatched his prize, Titan still felt somewhat uneasy.
But out of politeness, he had to give Wang Dong face, so after Huo Yuhao's respectful greeting, he nodded slightly, "Don't call me senior anymore. Once you and Xiao Dong are together, call me Second Father."
"Huh?" Huo Yuhao was instantly stunned, instinctively uttering an "Ah."
"Second Father, you..." Wang Dong, who had been smiling, suddenly became flustered upon hearing this, her pretty face turning red. The relationship hadn't even started yet, and you were already calling someone Second Father.
Titan finally realized that his sweetheart wasn't even with this guy yet, and that he had indeed gotten carried away. He coughed lightly, "Uh, you guys chat, I see a nice restaurant nearby, I'll go check it out."
With that, Titan vanished instantly, even before Huo Yuhao's perception had detected him—truly worthy of being a Limit Douluo.
Shifting his gaze, Huo Yuhao looked back at Wang Dong, whose blush hadn't faded. She looked at him somewhat awkwardly, "My second father's personality is just like that, don't misunderstand."
"Speaking of which, now that you've changed back into women's clothing, what should I call you from now on?" Huo Yuhao smiled, changing the subject.
Hearing this, Wang Dong's shyness quickly disappeared. She said earnestly to Huo Yuhao, "From now on, you can call me Dong'er. Wang Dong'er's Dong'er."
"Dong'er..." Huo Yuhao murmured softly.
A smile played on Wang Dong'er's lips. This was the first time Huo Yuhao had called her by her real name.
"It's not really appropriate to eat grilled fish so early in the morning. Let's get some later. Come on, I'll take you for a stroll around Mingdu." Huo Yuhao stepped forward, grabbed Wang Dong'er's hand, and led her out of the park while she was still in a daze.
As for the academy, Huo Yuhao wasn't worried at all, because unless you personally called Xuan Ziwen, he really wouldn't come to help you. This was what Ju Zi and Ke Ke had said, and it was also something he had personally experienced.
Mingdu was unfamiliar to Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er, but the more unfamiliar it was, the more interesting things and delicious food would appear for the two of them.
However, what frustrated Wang Dong'er was that Huo Yuhao still seemed to treat her like a brother.
Perhaps it was because the girl's elegant and pure beauty was rare to see, but after leaving the park, Wang Dong'er attracted a lot of attention along the way. Having only recently returned to wearing women's clothing, she was still a little unaccustomed to it, her small hands tightly gripping Huo Yuhao's large hand, following him without saying a word.
Outside the milk tea shop, Wang Dong'er sat somewhat reservedly on a chair, but watching Huo Yuhao queue up for milk tea, a sweet smile would occasionally appear on her lips as she thought of something.
This scene caused many guys who had come with their girlfriends to widen their eyes, and then they were doomed, their kidneys immediately subjected to a fierce attack by their girlfriends.
Instantly, a chorus of exclamations arose.
The milk tea shop was near the roadside, with crowds and carriages constantly coming and going; the only good thing was perhaps the absence of car exhaust fumes.
"My master said that after I return this time, he wants me to meet a top expert within the sect. Do you know who it is?"
Inside a simple yet luxurious carriage, a young man with long golden-gray hair and heterochromatic eyes spoke calmly.
Around him sat several other people, all dressed in black robes, but their hoods were not pulled up, revealing their varied faces.
There were five people in total, four of whom had relatively normal faces, but the black-robed man sitting by the window had an exceptionally terrifying appearance.
His entire left cheek was devoid of flesh, a complete skeleton, and within his left eye flickered a ghastly green flame.
"Hua Bin, you should know all the top experts in the sect," said a handsome young man with an extremely cold demeanor. His name was Yan Feng.
"No, there's one expert Hua Bin doesn't know. That person rarely even appears in the sect," said a chuckled obese boy reeking of strong perfume. His name was Lu Genggeng.
Hearing this, the other boys and girls who had been keeping their eyes closed immediately opened them.
The boy addressed as Hua Bin was none other than Dai Hua Bin, who had disappeared from the White Tiger Duke's mansion.
Yan Feng said solemnly, "You're talking about the Demon Emperor, right? She's not entirely a member of the sect; our Holy Spirit Sect has a more cooperative relationship with her."
Lu Genggeng smiled and said, "Whether she's considered a member or not, the Demon Emperor is still a top-tier expert, something no one can ignore."
"That's true." Yan Feng nodded, then said to Dai Huabin, "The Demon Emperor is a level 99 Limit Douluo expert. She was seriously injured on the beach in Sea Soul City, and it was the Grand Elder who helped her in the end. After that, the Demon Emperor's contact with the sect was almost entirely through the Grand Elder. This time, the Grand Elder is introducing you to the Demon Emperor; you must seize this opportunity."
"Limit Douluo..." Dai Huabin's heart skipped a beat. "I will, thank you."
Yan Feng and Lu Genggeng smiled faintly. The former said, "It's nothing. We're all juniors in the sect; we should help each other."
Dai Huabin's eyes flickered slightly, and his gaze unconsciously drifted to the window. The weather was clear, yet it made him uneasy.
Especially seeing the crowds of families out for a stroll and the joyful laughter of couples playing together, an inexplicable anger welled up within him, and killing intent surfaced in his heterochromatic eyes.
"This is Mingdu. Huabin, you'd better calm down. We've already killed a few hundred people and had our fun. You want to kill more?" Yan Feng glanced at Dai Huabin and spoke with a faint smile.
"Sorry."
Hearing this, Dai Huabin took a deep breath and forcibly averted his gaze, but suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a figure he would never forget.
His pupils contracted, and Dai Huabin abruptly stood up to look again. At the corner of the milk tea shop, a tall, slender young man was walking away with a girl with medium-length pink-blue hair, her back view incredibly beautiful.
But because it was only their backs, and they had only just walked away, he hadn't gotten a good look.
Dai Huabin froze on the spot.
Was it him?
No, impossible, he couldn't possibly be in the Sun Moon Empire.
His sinister eyes flickered incessantly, and under the astonished gazes of his companions, Dai Huabin silently sat back down.
Yan Feng and Lu Genggeng frowned, but said nothing. Dai Huabin was even more diligent than them when carrying out sect missions, and this time he had personally hunted down more than fifty people; his abilities were undeniable.
The carriage continued its journey, heading deeper into the streets of Mingdu.
"Hmm?" As Huo Yuhao turned the corner from the milk tea shop, Wang Dong'er's melodious voice kept ringing in his ears. Suddenly, he stopped abruptly.
"What's wrong?" Wang Dong'er was still talking when she saw Huo Yuhao stop and asked instinctively.
Huo Yuhao frowned slightly, turned around and looked back. On the wide street, the carriages were still moving at a leisurely pace, and the crowds were still coming and going. There was nothing unusual about it.
He was silent for a few seconds, then turned back to Wang Dong'er and smiled, "I must have seen wrong. Come on, I'll take you around. I heard there are so many places to visit in Chengdu."
"Can I still hold your hand?" Wang Dong'er asked in a low voice instinctively, but in an instant, her cheeks flushed, and her eyes widened in surprise, as if she couldn't believe she had asked such a question.
Huo Yuhao couldn't help but chuckle. He wasn't stupid; he understood Wang Dong'er's feelings, or rather, he had understood them back when they were still at Shrek Academy.
Feelings don't necessarily have to be intense and passionate to be memorable. After so much time spent together, sometimes a simple greeting or expression of concern every day can become unforgettable with the passage of time.
Perhaps that was how Wang Dong'er felt about him.
Looking at the slightly lowered head of the girl, who seemed a little embarrassed, Huo Yuhao, caught between his ambiguous advances and his direct approach, chose to be straightforward.
Without hesitation, he took Wang Dong'er's hand, which wasn't holding the milk tea cup, and said with a light smile, "Watch where you're going, don't fall."
Feeling her hand firmly gripped, Wang Dong'er subconsciously looked up at Huo Yuhao. There was a smile in his eyes, and she seemed to understand something. The worry in her beautiful eyes completely vanished, and she smiled gently,
"You're holding my hand, how could I fall?"
"Then I'll have to hold your hand for the rest of my life, otherwise, with your clumsy appearance, you'll definitely cry if you fall," Huo Yuhao teased.
"Get lost, you're the clumsy one, you're the one who cries," Wang Dong'er said, giving Huo Yuhao a light kick with her leg.
Huo Yuhao didn't say anything, but his right hand moved slightly, from holding Wang Dong'er's hand to interlocking their fingers.
Wang Dong'er's heart skipped a beat, and her face instantly flushed crimson, as if steam were rising from it.
"Your face is so red, do you have a fever?" Huo Yuhao teased.
Hearing this, Wang Dong'er's expression instantly turned to surprise. The blush faded, and she retorted fiercely, "Huo Yuhao, I'm just shy! Don't you understand what shyness is? If you keep talking nonsense, I'll bite you!"
As she spoke, Wang Dong'er opened and closed her mouth a few times like a simpleton, indicating that her pearly white teeth were no joke.
"Ahem, I know, I know," Huo Yuhao immediately begged for mercy, afraid that Wang Dong'er would actually bite him.
"Not bad."
As the two walked away, at a street corner, Titan, holding a wine jug, watched Huo Yuhao with satisfaction.
As an elder, no one wanted the girl to cry.
A smile was better.
This kid did a good job.
Throughout the day, Huo Yuhao took Wang Dong'er to many places, experiencing both delicious food and beautiful scenery.
As dusk fell, a fragrant aroma wafted around a river outside Mingdu. A pile of wood crackled and popped as it burned on the grass.
Wang Dong'er sat happily on a rock, watching Huo Yuhao intently grilling fish beside her. Her beautiful eyes seemed to hold only him.
Titan, not wanting to disturb the two young people, had long since disappeared.
"Yuhao, you said you had a surprise for me, what is it?" Wang Dong'er licked her rosy lips, eager to eat the grilled fish.
"You'll find out in a bit." Huo Yuhao shook the grilled fish on the wooden stick; they were ready. He then handed one to Wang Dong'er. "Here, try it and see if Brother Hao's cooking has improved."
"Heh, Brother Hao, huh?"
Wang Dong'er rolled her eyes at Huo Yuhao, but still took the grilled fish, her mouth watering at the enticing aroma.
She opened her red lips, gently biting into the crispy fish skin, then wrapped a portion of the tender fish meat in her mouth. After a few chews, Wang Dong'er's eyes lit up instantly.
"Mmm...so delicious."
Without pausing, a grilled fish weighing over a pound was quickly devoured.
Like a kitten, Wang Dong'er didn't miss any edible part, even if her lips were covered in grease.
"Don't rush, there's more." Seeing her adorable, ravenous eating, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but tease her.
"I want more." After quickly finishing the fish, Wang Dong'er held out her hand, gesturing for Huo Yuhao to hand over the grilled fish.
Huo Yuhao quickly handed it to her, and Wang Dong'er began her second enjoyment.
"Yuhao, do you know, I've lived to this day only to discover that all my memories from childhood to adulthood are fake; the real ones started after I turned ten."
As she spoke, Wang Dong'er took another bite of the grilled fish, her eyes reflecting the firelight of the woodpile.
"I just realized why there are some foods I don't actually like, yet every time I eat them, someone inside me tells me I have to like them. Even though I'm willing to use soul tools, my heart always tells me I should hate them."
"Later I learned the reason, but…" Looking at the grilled fish, Wang Dong'er fell silent, then smiled bitterly, "I actually wish I didn't know the reason, pretending I didn't know anything, maybe that would be better."
"I'm no longer the person I used to be, do you think I'll have a future?" Wang Dong'er said, looking at Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao's expression hardened; he saw the fear and unease in Wang Dong'er's eyes.
"I want to ask you for a favor," Wang Dong'er said again.
"What is it?" Huo Yuhao asked.
"I remember you have an ability, Yuhao, to replicate memories. Can you replicate my memories from when I was ten years old until today?" Wang Dong'er said.
"What do you want to do?" Huo Yuhao asked, puzzled.
Wang Dong'er took another bite of grilled fish. "I hope you can remember this memory. At least its existence proves that there was once a girl named Wang Dong'er."
Huo Yuhao's expression changed, but Wang Dong'er smiled slightly.
She knew better than anyone that her second father had lied to her. That Tang San was not so easy to deal with. She didn't know what a God King or a God Official was, but she knew the difference between a King and an Official.
Any resistance would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, a suicide mission.
She planned to have her second father send her back to the Haotian Sect when she left Mingdu, so she could relinquish her body before Tang San became angry, thus ending all trouble.
Her first and second fathers could still enjoy their favorite wine, and if they drank too much, they could continue to boast.
Actually, she hadn't originally planned to come to the Sun Moon Empire, but after thinking about it, she decided it was best not to have any regrets.
Spending a day as a girl with the person she loved was enough.
"Bang!" Huo Yuhao gently tapped Wang Dong'er on the head. She winced in pain and quickly rubbed her head with her arm, avoiding her hand because it was oily.
"What are you doing? I'm being serious," Wang Dong'er said irritably.
Huo Yuhao said seriously, "You're afraid of someone."
Wang Dong'er's pupils contracted, and she fell silent. The reason she told Huo Yuhao these things was because she knew he was knowledgeable and someone she could confide in.
"Actually, you don't need to be afraid." Huo Yuhao slightly raised his right hand, and wisps of light emerged from his palm, eventually transforming into countless shattered blue-gold soul fragments.
Wang Dong'er's eyes flickered; these fragments seemed familiar.
Huo Yuhao's mind raced, and in the next instant, the blue-gold soul fragments instantly reassembled.
A voice filled with panic and threat rang out,
"Damn lower-realm human, let me out! If my father knew you dared to do this, he would definitely destroy you!"
The voice continued to echo from within the blue-gold soul light, but Wang Dong'er remained frozen in place.
"Senior Titan, please stop looking. If you have any questions, you can ask me."
Huo Yuhao's gaze shifted, landing on the darkness on the other side.
Titan's figure slowly emerged from it, his resolute face filled with deep shock.
