About fifteen minutes later, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's already round face was even plumper. Seeing its bruised and swollen appearance, Huo Yuhao suppressed a laugh. This distraction eased some of the gloom brought on by the Seven-Colored Exquisite Stamen.
He glanced at Ice Emperor, who was standing with her hands on her hips, looking fierce. Huo Yuhao had reason to suspect that this fellow had taken out all her frustrations on Sky Dream.
"Alright, stop looking so wronged. You sleep all day long; you have no ambition," Huo Yuhao said, annoyed, looking at Sky Dream.
Sky Dream didn't care, muttering, "What else can I do in this state besides sleep?"
Before it could finish, a finger tapped its swollen, chubby head.
At the touch of the finger, Sky Dream instantly became dazed. A stream of knowledge about the application of ice and snow power and mental strength naturally surfaced in its mind, as if it had experienced it firsthand.
When Sky Dream came back to its senses, Huo Yuhao explained, "These are some of my insights into ice and snow, as well as mental power. If you don't want to be a weakling in the future, study them properly."
After saying this, Huo Yuhao didn't wait for Sky Dream to reply. His form began to dissipate, and he was about to leave the Sea of Consciousness.
"Wait a moment."
The Ice Emperor's voice made Huo Yuhao stop. Under his curious gaze, he saw the Ice Emperor with her arms crossed, looking displeased. "Why don't I have any?"
Huh? The Ice Emperor wants some too? Huo Yuhao's expression immediately became strange. "You have nearly four hundred thousand years of cultivation, specializing in ice-elemental abilities. You lack my insights?"
"Just say whether you'll give it or not," the Ice Emperor said, still with her arms crossed, acting arrogant.
Wow, he'd never seen someone ask for something so confidently. Huo Yuhao wasn't going to indulge her. His eyes rolled, his lips curled slightly, and he said softly, "If you want some, sure. Call me 'Ge' first."
"What, you want me to call you 'Ge'?" The Ice Emperor pointed at her nose, as if she'd misheard.
The Snow Emperor watched with amusement, covering her mouth with a light laugh. Sky Dream, who had just been beaten up, didn't dare to make trouble at this moment, but in his heart, he gave Huo Yuhao a big thumbs up.
Huo Yuhao didn't say anything, just quietly looked at the Ice Emperor.
Ice Emperor's expression shifted repeatedly, but after a moment, she suddenly did a complete about-face. She placed her hands behind her back, and the expression on her face changed from its usual coldness, becoming suddenly gentle and watery. Her amber eyes shimmered with a seductive allure, as if trying to bewitch souls. In a coquettish voice, she said, "Big brother, you're so good to me. Would Lingling be angry if she knew, big brother!"
Her voice was drawn out and lingered, and as she spoke, her shoulders swayed slightly from side to side, full of coquettishness.
This tone, paired with Ice Emperor's petite, loli form...
Hiss!
Huo Yuhao was made incredibly uncomfortable by Ice Emperor calling him "big brother," and goosebumps erupted all over his body.
"Alright, alright, here, I'll give it to you, okay? Just be normal, you little scorpion, you don't know how to be good."
A ray of white light entered her forehead. Having gotten what she wanted, Ice Emperor returned to her original appearance. "Hmph, you're still too green, trying to play games with me."
Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes, annoyed, and stopped arguing with her.
"Um..."
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm slowly wriggled over.
"What do you want to say?" Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow, looking at Sky Dream's embarrassed expression. This guy wouldn't be trying to pull something, would he?
"I, I just wanted to say, I probably don't need to, right? In my current state, even if I comprehend something, it won't help you much."
Sky Dream's voice was very low, and he didn't dare to look at Huo Yuhao. He knew Huo Yuhao was doing this for his own good, but he felt like he was being unappreciative.
Huo Yuhao frowned slightly after hearing this. This Sky Dream was truly lazy to the core. "Leaving aside whether I can become a god in the future, what will you rely on to protect yourself after you leave? Do you want to be at the mercy of others like before?"
"What? You, you mean you're willing to let me be free in the future?" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm heard the hidden meaning in Huo Yuhao's words and looked at him in disbelief. Ever since it chose to become Huo Yuhao's Soul Ring, it had established its position, regarding Huo Yuhao as its master.
But now, hearing Huo Yuhao's meaning, that he would be willing to give it freedom in the future, how could it not be surprised?
Similarly, Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor were also surprised, unable to believe it was true.
"Everyone has their own way of wanting to live. I don't like being bound, and you all probably don't like it either."
The person had already vanished, but Huo Yuhao's voice still reached the ears of the three.
For a moment, the three of them wore different expressions, silent and unmoving, unsure of what they were thinking.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm lay down on the ground, carefully comprehending the insights Huo Yuhao had left for him. He didn't want to be as useless as before after he gained his freedom, possessing a million years of cultivation but still being bullied by others.
Thus, a diligent and studious worm was born.
Exiting his cultivation state, feeling the intense heat emanating from the room, Huo Yuhao was slightly taken aback. It was autumn and winter, and this was clearly abnormal.
Under the probing of his powerful mental power, Huo Yuhao quickly found the cause. With a flash, he reappeared on a barren mountain cliff behind the bamboo forest and outside the sect.
In front of him, Lin Xi, wearing a black plain dress, was sitting cross-legged on a large rock, with the leaves of the Crimson Blood Bodhi on the ground in front of her.
Above, a spirit bird formed from flames was circling and hovering. It was not large, only about ten centimeters in size. With each flap of its wings, Huo Yuhao below would feel a wave of scorching heat rushing towards him.
Fortunately, this was a desolate mountain, with no trees or buildings, or a fire would have been inevitable.
"It's different." Looking up at the small, crimson bird flying back and forth, Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes. It wasn't that the appearance of the spirit bird had changed, but the power of the flames. These flames were likely close to the level of Extreme Fire. If Lin Xi could absorb high-quality fire-attribute Soul Rings for her last three Soul Rings, reaching Extreme Fire would be highly possible.
Huo Yuhao had experienced the power of Ma Xiaotao's flames during the Soul Master Tournament, so he was able to make a more accurate judgment.
Huo Yuhao thought of the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower. If Lin Xi consumed this immortal herb, then her flames reaching the extreme level would be almost certain.
However, whether she could obtain the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower depended on Lin Xi's choice; Huo Yuhao wasn't some kind of philanthropist.
"Young Master." Opening her eyes and seeing Huo Yuhao, Lin Xi immediately stood up and bowed, her posture very low. After feeling the improvement the herb had brought her, Lin Xi felt undeserving. She admitted that she hadn't contributed anything since joining Huo Yuhao, yet he had gifted her such a treasure.
"Alright, no need to say more." Seeing the gratitude in her eyes, Huo Yuhao waved his hand dismissively, then looked at her seriously, "Now I ask you, are you willing to work for me in the future?"
"I am willing to follow Young Master to the death, to respect your will, and to uphold your authority, fighting for you for the rest of my life." Lin Xi immediately knelt on one knee, expressing her loyalty.
If they had just met, she would never have done this. However, after spending time with him, she knew how monstrous he was. Therefore, having planned this long ago, she unhesitatingly expressed her desire to serve him.
As the saying goes, when one attains the Dao, their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. When Huo Yuhao became successful in the future, would he neglect the benefits of his followers? Judging by the current situation, Huo Yuhao was very generous to those who followed him.
Some people were ordinary to begin with, but they rose to prominence and achieved great success simply by following the right person. You couldn't say they had no ambition; it was just that everyone had their own aspirations.
"Very good. Since that's the case, it's yours." Huo Yuhao nodded slightly, a look of satisfaction on his face. No one wanted to raise a disloyal person.
If she wasn't loyal, Huo Yuhao would rather feed this immortal herb to the dogs and then tie the dogs up to guard his house.
