Chapter 223 Gu Yuena: Tonight's all set
Huo Yuhao, who was placing one hand on Hyotei's forehead to prevent the overly excited guy from doing anything outrageous in broad daylight, subconsciously glanced at Xue Di beside him when he heard Gu Yuena's question.
Just from Huo Yuhao's casual glance, Xue Di, who had finally managed to calm herself down, felt her legs, which had just regained some strength, begin to go weak again.
A current surged through the depths of his body again, sending waves of tingling sensation through him.
Her mind was uncontrollably filled with memories of what had happened inside the light membrane.
It was clearly their own initiative to push forward, wanting to seize absolute dominance.
In the end, it was like a little lamb offering itself up, and it even washed and stripped itself clean before being devoured by the big bad wolf.
Not to mention, in order to fulfill her promise not to favor one over the other, she also had to fully experience all the positions that Gu Yue Na and Hyotei had tried.
What a surprise!
Even Xue Di hadn't expected that these two guys would be so shameless and have such a wild relationship with Yu Hao in private!
Some of the images from earlier replayed in her mind.
That scene, in particular, made her feel so ashamed that she almost felt like she was going to burst out of the sky.
Huo Yuhao actually tied her long hair into the same double ponytail style as Bingdi.
Then, he gripped her twin tails tightly, dominating her with absolute force while solemnly recounting the achievements made after the soul contract in her ear.
That extreme sense of shame almost melted her away.
An uncontrollable, burning blush instantly spread across Xue Di's pretty face.
With a hint of annoyance, she glared at the shameless Empress Hyotei and could no longer stand it.
In an instant, it transformed into a white streak of light and merged directly into Huo Yuhao's body.
With Xue Di's integration, strange changes occurred in Huo Yuhao.
The once jet-black hair began to fade rapidly from the roots.
In the blink of an eye, it transformed into long, snow-white hair, as smooth and lustrous as fine mutton-fat jade.
The slight resemblance that arose from the oath was magnified at this moment.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao perfectly combined the best features of both himself and Xue Di in appearance. He was handsome with a touch of aloofness and nobility, and gentle yet distant.
In Hyotei's eyes, this appearance was simply a treasure bestowed by heaven.
Her thoughts began to drift uncontrollably, imagining that in the future she would have the chance to thoroughly enjoy Huo Yuhao in his spirit fusion state with the Snow Empress…
Doesn't that mean we can enjoy double the happiness at the same time?
A blissful halo appeared in Hyotei's eyes, and his lips stretched into an exaggerated smile. He was lost in a beautiful fantasy when he too fell straight backward, unable to get up again.
Seeing this farce unfold before him, Huo Yuhao's lips twitched slightly, his eyes filled with helplessness.
Taking a deep breath, feeling the balance of essence, energy, and spirit within his body brought about by the integration of Xue Di, he then turned his gaze to Gu Yuena, his expression becoming solemn.
"Just like your previous guess, Na'er, the quality of my Ice Dragon King Martial Soul has improved again. And now, in the state of Martial Soul Fusion with Snow Empress, my physical strength, total Soul Power, and Mental Power are no different from a true Super Douluo."
At this point, Huo Yuhao paused, then added:
"But the greatest gain lies with the Snow Empress herself. During her transformation, she signed a soul contract with me, but did not completely transform into a soul spirit. Instead, she retained the characteristics of both a soul beast and a human."
The most prominent point is that the spirit ring she gave me can, by absorbing external energy and improving her own cultivation, in turn continuously increase the age of the spirit ring.
That's the real key.
It should be noted that although the essence of Tianmeng can also increase the age of Huo Yuhao's other soul rings, it can only increase them to a maximum of 100,000 years. Moreover, the essence of Tianmeng is completely non-renewable and can only be used up as little as possible.
In situations where it's difficult to obtain celestial energy or spiritual power in the lower realm to increase the age of a soul ring, the significance of a soul ring given by the Snow Empress is entirely different.
Once Huo Yuhao becomes a Title Douluo, or even a Limit Douluo, he will be able to replenish his soul power through his own efforts, along with the Dragon God power that he and Gu Yuena jointly sublimated.
Perhaps in the near future, the soul ring given by the Snow Emperor will be able to reach the level of a true million-year divine ring.
The Snow Empress can provide him with four soul rings.
This means that the lifespan of his future seventh soul skill, the Martial Soul True Body's soul ring, could potentially reach a true million-year level.
If one cannot obtain a divine position through legitimate means, then it is essential to raise the amount of soul skill granted by the soul ring to the level of a divine skill if one wants to harm the deity.
Having a million-year-old divine ring is the simplest and most direct way.
After all, the bodies of gods have a very high natural immunity to these low-level energies from the lower realms.
This is why, even for the lowest-ranking priest, killing a Limit Douluo is not much different from crushing a chicken.
The vast differences in the level of life energy have a decisive impact.
Not to mention, there are vast differences between gods of each rank.
Even if a first-level deity possesses only one percent of their spiritual power, it is roughly equivalent to the entirety of a second-level deity's power.
Huo Yuhao hadn't forgotten that his future enemies wouldn't just be Tang San.
At that time, the other members of the original Shrek Seven Devils might also attack him.
Therefore, it is essential to raise one's own strength to a level sufficient to contend with gods as soon as possible.
Moreover, to prevent the killing of deities in the divine realm from incurring divine retribution from the divine realm's central authority, shifting the battlefield to the lower realm might be a better option.
Seeing Huo Yuhao deep in thought, Gu Yuena blinked.
With a slight movement, he stepped forward a few steps and stood in front of Huo Yuhao, scrutinizing him carefully.
Then, she abruptly stretched out her finger and gently touched the center of Huo Yuhao's forehead.
The snow lotus mark that had been hidden reappeared clearly as she touched it with her fingertips, emitting a faint icy blue halo.
"Your and Xue Di's results are pretty much what I expected. However..."
Gu Yuena's gaze fell on the lotus mark, her tone carrying an obvious sense of inquiry.
"What's with this mark? This wasn't expected. Could you explain it to me in detail?"
Seeing Gu Yuena's expression—clearly she had guessed everything, yet she insisted on admitting it herself—Huo Yuhao's face stiffened slightly.
The aloof and noble air that had just emerged from the transformation of her temperament vanished instantly, replaced by a worldly and down-to-earth demeanor, making her look so embarrassed that she seemed about to be brutally trampled on at any moment.
"This, that..."
After stammering for a long time, Huo Yuhao still couldn't figure out how to organize his thoughts to explain this.
We can't just tell Gu Yuena directly that this is a mark that Xue Di deliberately left on her to assert her sovereignty, can we?
Gu Yuena blinked again, looking at him with a barely perceptible smile, before her expression returned to seriousness.
"The reverse scale on my body was given to your mother as a gift before, and ordinary silver dragon scales are indeed not enough to form a stable mark."
However, I think you could give me that golden dragon scale on your body, right?
She paused, then added:
"Your Achilles' heel contains the most ferocious rage and destructive intent within you."
Without its existence, the negative emotions within you cannot form a complete core, and therefore cannot completely engulf your mind.
Giving it to me for safekeeping will only benefit you.
Having understood Gu Yuena's reasonable "hint," Huo Yuhao immediately nodded repeatedly as if he had grasped a lifeline.
Being able to resolve the current awkward situation in this way is naturally a win-win situation.
However, before Gu Yuena could reach out and touch Huo Yuhao's chest to remove the golden dragon's reverse scale,
A black stream of light separated from Huo Yuhao's body and, accompanied by a slightly excited voice, condensed into a shape beside him.
"My lord, I have successfully sensed the exact location of the Dragon Tomb."
Gu Moxin, who had re-conjured up, subconsciously glanced at the white-haired boy beside her, and was immediately stunned. Then, with undisguised disdain and disbelief, she spoke:
"Hey human, have you been punished by the heavens? How come your hair has turned from black to white in just a few days? You've become much uglier than a little bit."
Hyotei, who had been lying on the ground blissfully, lost in his fantasy, instantly bristled upon hearing Gu Moxin's words.
He sprang up from the ground with a somersault, his face full of anger as he approached the other person, his voice rising eight octaves.
"What did you say? How could white-haired Yuhao be ugly? Open your eyes wide and take a good look!"
As she spoke, she turned around again and came to Huo Yuhao's side, excitedly gesturing with both hands to show Gu Moxin the name.
Her excited tone was completely different from her usual aloof demeanor.
"This is the most handsome young man in our far north, how could he possibly be ugly!"
Facing the excited Hyotei, Gu Moxin merely glanced at her coldly and responded expressionlessly:
"Just as ugly as Gu Xiyue."
Upon hearing this, Hyotei's anger surged several levels again. Hands on her hips, she directly questioned:
"Hey, I remember you're sharing a body with your older sister right now, aren't you two exactly alike? If you say Gu Xiyue is ugly, aren't you just insulting yourself as well?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Moxin scoffed and shook his head, his tone full of disdain.
"Don't waste your breath on me, you white-haired idiot. Your taste is just awful, you have no taste at all."
After saying this, she completely ignored Hyotei, who was so angry she was about to jump up and down, and turned to report respectfully to Gu Yuena again.
"My lord, through my continuous capture and location, the Dragon Tomb should now be a dependent plane of the Douluo plane, which is why you were unable to accurately sense its existence before."
Its exact location is in the east of Douluo Continent, roughly 60,000 to 70,000 kilometers away from here…”
"Hey, don't try to change the subject. Look at me again, how could Yuhao possibly be ugly!"
Seeing Bingdi, who was completely red-faced and irritated, circling around Gu Moxin and trying to get her to admit her mistake, Huo Yuhao scratched his cheek helplessly, but a question arose in his mind.
According to the original plan, shouldn't I still need to help the Gu sisters stabilize their dragon souls?
Speaking of which, when was it finally stabilized?
Gu Yuena narrowed her eyes slightly and murmured thoughtfully.
"Sixty to seventy thousand kilometers. In other words, the Dragon Tomb is actually located on another continent."
Gu Yuena didn't pay much attention to the other details in Gu Moxin's report.
Once the general direction is determined, finding the exact location of the Dragon Tomb will not be difficult, given her mastery of various elemental laws.
However, after being interrupted by Gu Moxin, she suddenly felt that removing Huo Yuhao's Achilles' heel was not something that needed to be rushed.
Perhaps it would be more interesting to do it at night in a more private setting.
After all, when I fight a fierce battle with Huo Yuhao with this white hair in the future, wouldn't that be the same as showing my absolute sovereignty right under Xue Di's nose?
Moreover, tonight I can have an in-depth conversation with him while personally removing the only golden dragon scale from his body and wearing it myself.
Thinking of this, Gu Yuena's purple eyes became even more profound.
How can I describe this feeling?
It's like an honest and hardworking farmer who painstakingly grows a beautiful and delicious cabbage.
But right in front of him, she slowly and methodically pulled the cabbage up by the roots and even threw it directly into the pot to cook.
The other person was heartbroken, but was powerless to do anything and could only watch helplessly.
Gu Yuena, who was originally only thinking about preparing more life-saving measures for Huo Yuhao, did not initially notice the fun in this aspect.
Looking back now, I can actually find a unique kind of excitement in it.
Indeed, I should spend more time with Huo Yuhao before heading to the Dragon Tomb.
After all, the Dragon God's power that he had finally managed to sublimate last time was mostly used to nourish the Dragon Souls of the Gu Moxin sisters, so he should replenish some of it himself.
Having made up her mind, Gu Yuena's lips curved into a smile, her gaze returning to Huo Yuhao. She winked playfully at him, her eyes full of deep meaning.
Feeling somewhat puzzled, Huo Yuhao subconsciously blinked in response.
Having received this silent reply, Gu Yuena thought to herself.
It's all set for tonight.
