Zhuge Lan was too good at stirring up trouble!
Right now, a little fangirl was standing right in front of him—her gaze was even hotter than the evil fire burning on her body.
If she remembered his face, who knows how she might end up using it later…
"A mere strand of divine sense. No need to show my face." Electrolux said indifferently.
"So powerful and yet so low-key, Brother Lan really deserves to be called a demigod!" Ma Xiaotao leaned closer: "Brother Lan, usually when you cultivate, do you…"
Great.
He still got entangled.
Even without a face, she still stuck to him?
Electrolux signaled to Huo Yuhao, who immediately stepped in to block Ma Xiaotao.
"Sister Xiaotao, Brother Lan likes peace and quiet. Even I usually don't dare to disturb him unless necessary."
"As for that soul bone you wanted, Brother Lan originally agreed."
"But of course it can't be given for free. Brother Lan intends for you to become the Saintess of the Holy Flame Sect. Interested?"
"Saintess, huh?" Ma Xiaotao tilted her head, looking at Electrolux: "Does that mean I can serve at Brother Lan's side?"
Good heavens!
That bold?
We just said this man likes quiet, and you didn't take in a single word?
No helping it.
Huo Yuhao could only glance at Elder Mu—please control your disciple!
"Ahem!" Mu En hurriedly smoothed things over: "Xiaotao has admired strength since she was little. Meeting Your Excellency, a demigod, naturally she's being a bit passionate. Please don't…"
"That's not it at all!" Ma Xiaotao cut him off: "Brother Lan founded the Holy Flame Sect, bringing blessings to so many people. And yet the sect's motto is so novel—this shows he's strong but also kind and interesting. I just want to learn more about him, is that wrong?"
Another straight ball!
Electrolux chose to skip past it.
He pointed his robe sleeve at the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower beside them.
"You. Soul spirit or undead?"
Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower: "..."
Why does this feel like a chicken being killed to warn the monkey?
It simply used its leaves to slice through its own roots, then a blood-red pillar of light soared into the sky.
Blood sacrifice!
So fast, so decisive.
Electrolux nearly didn't have enough time to inscribe the Soul Spirit Equality Contract, so his hand was a little heavy—causing the just-recovered Mu En and Xuan Zi to feel a sharp pain.
Once everything was confirmed to be successful—
Electrolux dove into Huo Yuhao's glabella, returning to the spiritual world.
He pointed to the outside at Zhuge Lan.
"You stirred up this peach blossom debt, you deal with it yourself."
"Not to mention I don't even have such thoughts, I also don't have that ability." Zhuge Lan rolled his eyes: "Can't exactly use Yuhao's body, right? That'd be me cuckolding myself!"
"Ahem! Brother Lan, I'm still listening here!" Huo Yuhao condensed his spiritual body awkwardly: "Once you become a god, you can shape a divine body, right? Then you could just take Sister Xiaotao along when you ascend."
"I think that's fine!" Skydream Iceworm laughed happily: "Those so-called Shrek Seven Devils could all ascend together. We have so many big shots here, what's wrong with bringing a few to godhood?"
Zhuge Lan put a hand to his forehead.
The matter wasn't even remotely close to happening, yet they were already discussing it so enthusiastically.
He squinted at Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass in the corner, baring his teeth in a grin, beckoning.
"Sorry you had to watch this farce."
"No need to be restrained, we're all pretty casual."
"Especially this big fat worm—don't be fooled by it being a million-year soul beast. In reality, even ten-thousand-year beasts could sometimes bite it around."
Exposed like that, Skydream Iceworm glared furiously at Zhuge Lan!
You can't just say that out loud!
Eat my binding skill!
Electrolux only chuckled and floated up into the sky to hang there leisurely.
Leaving Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass to stare at the man and worm wrestling, with a very strange look.
This…
Why did it feel like he had just jumped into a pit?
"Ahem!" Huo Yuhao comforted him: "Don't worry, Octagonal. This is how they are every day. Actually, Brother Lan and Brother Skydream are both extremely strong."
This, Octagonal did not deny.
He glanced toward the horizon, where ten icy-blue seals slowly leaked streams of soul power.
That was all the energy from his blood sacrifice.
Skydream Iceworm had sealed it all up, unsealing it slowly according to Huo Yuhao's body's tolerance.
Not only did this avoid the dangers of forcing growth, but it also preserved the ring's power and quality.
Just that method alone—hardly anyone else on the continent could do it.
As for Zhuge Lan…
Couldn't understand, best to just keep watching.
---
More than ten minutes later.
Ma Xiaotao finished absorbing the blood sacrifice.
Along the way, her Evil Fire Phoenix evolved—shedding its evil flames and becoming the Blazing Fire Phoenix!
Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower's fiery essence, combined with the divine beast Phoenix itself!
But what delighted her most was—
"Wow!"
"Brother Lan, you're amazing!"
"You actually split the energy into separate seals so I can absorb them as I wish."
"Phoenix said my limit should've only been level 75, and most of the energy would've gone to waste."
"But now it's completely enough for me to cultivate up to level 80!"
"And I can still use my seventh soul skill normally, the ring's age is perfectly matched to my physique, so I don't have to worry about draining all my soul power in one go!"
"Brother Lan! You are my Hero!!!"
The worship and affection brimming in her eyes needed no explanation.
Leaving the true contributor, Skydream Iceworm, speechless with bitterness—
He could only increase the strength of his binding skill!
Outside.
Mu En, seeing things settled, supported his weakened body and asked Huo Yuhao—
"Yuhao, did that senior mention whether Shrek could control another immortal herb?"
"Uh… Teacher, are you hoping to take another step forward?" Huo Yuhao explained: "This single herb won't help you much. But after tonight… you'll understand."
Mu En's eyes lit up. An unexpected surprise?
Suppressing his excitement, he signaled to Xuan Zi.
He himself only had about ten years left to live. After that, Shrek's strongest would just be a level 98 with a flawed martial soul.
Not enough to hold up the sect's reputation.
Huo Yuhao understood Mu En's meaning and asked within the spiritual world.
"That little issue of his—a single herb won't be enough, but two would be a waste."
"I have a recipe for a Qiankun Creation Pill. Once I refine it, I'll give him one."
"But right now, even the landlord's family has no surplus grain. Let him hold on for now."
Zhuge Lan sighed deeply.
This round had cost him a mountain of treasures, plus 1.12 million fortune points.
The return was only 401,500 fortune points.
Current balance: 457,515 fortune points.
And he still had to hand half over to—
No way! Half was way too much!
Besides, the hidden stash had already been exposed today.
Might as well embezzle openly!
So he gave Yuhao a token 57,515 fortune value.
And pocketed the remaining 400,000 as a rainy-day fund.
Decision made!
Thus—
Huo Yuhao's balance, which had been over 200,000, plunged straight down to 57,515.
"Ha! Caught you red-handed!"
Skydream Iceworm jumped out and shouted—
"I've been watching the panel this whole time. Just now there were 287,572 fortune value, and now it's only 57,515!"
"You skimmed nearly 230,000 at once—that's way too shady!"
"And you had the nerve to say you didn't even have 100,000 to awaken my Spiritual Force?"
"Your heart is definitely pitch-black!"
"Yuhao! Little brother! You've got to stand up for me!"
Huo Yuhao only scratched his head.
It's not like he didn't know how to appreciate kindness.
This time, Brother Lan had practically rewritten his destiny for him. The expenditures absolutely surpassed a million.
Where did all that come from?
All from Brother Lan's long-time savings!
If it were just up to Huo Yuhao himself—
There's no way he could've ever saved up that much.
