Huo Yuhao hadn't anticipated things would develop this way, but regardless, he'd benefited greatly. He hadn't lost his martial soul or soul rings, and he'd gained a wife for free.
"Alright, she won't be out for a while. You should absorb these Ten-Thousand-Year Xuanbing Marrows first," Xue Di suddenly reminded him, interrupting Huo Yuhao's thoughts.
Coming back to his senses, Huo Yuhao didn't question it. Soul beasts were the experts in this area. He immediately grabbed a Ten-Thousand-Year Xuanbing Marrow and began to absorb it.
However, compared to Bing Di and Xue Di, Huo Yuhao absorbed the least. After absorbing the eighth one, he knew this was his limit.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao's soul power rose to level forty-six. The energy of the Ten-Thousand-Year Xuanbing Marrow was sealed within his body, to be digested slowly later.
There were a total of forty-five Ten-Thousand-Year Xuanbing Marrows. Xue Di had consumed fifteen, Bing Di had absorbed eleven, Tian Meng had taken nine, and Huo Yuhao had taken eight, leaving two remaining.
"Xue Di, you should absorb the remaining two," Huo Yuhao said to her.
Xue Di shook her head slightly, "No need. What I've absorbed is enough for me to cultivate to nine hundred and ninety thousand years."
"What, is this thing that powerful?" Huo Yuhao was somewhat surprised. Fifteen of them could allow Xue Di to advance from seven hundred thousand years to nine hundred and ninety thousand years; this was simply unreasonable.
"Didn't you already feel it? Although the Ten-Thousand-Year Xuanbing Marrow is good, it depends on who uses it. Both Bing'er and I are top-tier ice attribute soul beasts, which is why the increase is so significant."
"I see," Huo Yuhao realized.
Tian Meng: "..."
She seemed to have said nothing, but why did I feel like I was being looked down upon?
After putting the giant egg that Bing Di had transformed into into the Purple Chain, the two left the cave. They didn't take the remaining Ten-Thousand-Year Xuanbing Marrow either. Primarily, there was no method for long-term preservation. Even Xue Di's extreme ice seal was ineffective. Helpless, Huo Yuhao could only let it continue to grow here, planning to retrieve it in the future if needed.
After bidding farewell to Nan Shui Shui, Huo Yuhao opened a Spatial Gate and returned to the Extreme North with Xue Di, descending into Xue Di's Palace.
Before leaving, Huo Yuhao took out the large egg that Bing Di transformed into. "Xue Di, tell her not to look for me after Bing'er comes out. I'll come see her when I have time."
Xue Di raised an eyebrow slightly. He's getting friendly, isn't he? He's not pretending anymore? "Why? And why aren't you taking her with you?"
"There are many Title Douluo within the sect, and I'm worried they might be unfavorable to Bing'er. I'm not strong enough to protect her right now."
Huo Yuhao thought about this problem when Bing Di began to take human form. As the saying goes, wealth moves the heart. There are also factions within the Body Sect; it's not as united as it seems.
A 400,000-year soul beast right in front of them – who wouldn't be tempted? Huo Yuhao knew his own limitations. In a short burst, his combat power was only enough to wrestle with a Title Douluo at level ninety-one.
The main issue was insufficient soul power, unable to wear them down. However, after successfully condensing the Soul Core, he had gained strength. Now, Huo Yuhao wasn't too afraid of facing lower-level Title Douluo. Not to say he could defeat them, but escaping unscathed would be easy.
As for Dai Hao's defeat and escape last time, it was entirely Dai Hao's carelessness, and Dai Hao's attention wasn't on Huo Yuhao at the time; it was a sneak attack.
Xue Di didn't say more upon hearing this and flipped her hand, throwing out an object.
Huo Yuhao took it and saw a bracelet made of twelve stars, radiating an ice-blue light. The material was unknown, but Huo Yuhao sensed the presence of spatial and mental power within it.
Before he could ask, Xue Di explained, "If you encounter danger, crush it, and I can arrive at any time."
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao understood. It was the Douluo version of a pager. The mental imprint inside the icy object could be seen as a signal transmitter. Once the mental imprint was destroyed, Xue Di would be able to sense it.
The spatial power was equivalent to a location coordinate, allowing Xue Di to pinpoint Huo Yuhao's exact position.
Huo Yuhao had used similar methods before, applying them to Ye Lingling. However, Ye Lingling's method was passive; Huo Yuhao would only be alerted when Ye Lingling faced a fatal danger.
"Thank you." Huo Yuhao didn't refuse and accepted it. After all, this was an Extreme Douluo bodyguard; anyone who didn't want one was an idiot.
Putting the bracelet on his wrist, Huo Yuhao felt a strange sensation. Being given a bracelet by a woman, this was truly…
Watching it, Huo Yuhao suddenly smiled, an idea forming in his mind. He spread his hands upwards, and a silver halo representing spatial power flickered in his palms.
Gradually, the light transformed into strands of silver threads, weaving and intertwining.
Xue Di looked at it curiously, not understanding what Huo Yuhao was trying to do. In her field of vision, the silver light threads finally solidified above Huo Yuhao's palm, turning into a small, silver-white ring.
Xue Di was filled with amazement. To be able to condense the power of space into a solid form, this guy's mastery of spatial power had truly reached the pinnacle. Incredible, unimaginable.
Huo Yuhao walked towards Xue Di step by step, the latter remained silent, watching him quietly.
Under Xue Di's puzzled gaze, Huo Yuhao came before her, then gently grasped her left hand, and placed the silver ring on the middle finger of Xue Di's left hand.
Seeing this, Xue Di finally realized what was happening. This was clearly a ring! Goodness, she had been taken advantage of for no reason.
The way a ring is worn and its meaning: the thumb shows power and status. The index finger represents being single, hoping for love to come. The middle finger represents engagement or being in love, meaning to announce that one has a partner.
The ring finger indicates marriage or being in love. But if it's worn on the little finger, it means being single, a non-believer in marriage.
There are slight differences between wearing a ring on the left and right hands, but they are generally the same.
"Xue Di, do you think I have any chance of making you fall for me?" Huo Yuhao whispered, his fingers toying with her smooth, delicate jade hand. He admitted it; he was attracted to Xue Di. There was no shame in it. Who wasn't a bit of a lecher?
Xue Di didn't react much, withdrawing her hand and stroking the large, jade-green egg beside her. In a calm tone, she said, "Now that Bing'er has separated from you, what leverage do you have over me? You dare to offend me like this? Should I beat you to death, or beat you to death, or perhaps beat you to death?"
As she finished speaking, Xue Di slowly turned to face Huo Yuhao. However, the Spatial Gate behind him had already opened. The moment she turned, Huo Yuhao had already dove into the Spatial Gate, making a quick escape.
Xue Di was stunned for a moment, then smiled. It seemed this guy had been planning ahead. Long-distance Spatial Gates couldn't be activated instantly.
Extending her left hand, Xue Di examined the silver ring. The ring and the bracelet she had given him were similar, but the bracelet was a one-time use item, while the ring Huo Yuhao gave her could be used repeatedly.
As long as she injected mental power into the ring, Huo Yuhao would receive a message and then come through the ring's spatial location.
Of course, neither the ring nor the bracelet could send complex messages. It was just a signal that she needed him. The specific matter would only be revealed upon meeting.
Looking at it, a smile suddenly appeared on Xue Di's face. In that instant, the flowers seemed to lose their color, and the world dimmed, even the surrounding ice and snow seemed to melt, leaving people mesmerized. It was a pity that no one was there to appreciate such a beautiful sight.
