Chapter 116: I seem to be in trouble?
"Why is she here?"
A massive wave surged in Huo Yuhao's heart.
He already knew who the newcomer was: that aura, that image, that domineering presence mixed with a hint of innocent simplicity in her eyes. Damn it, fate truly is a bitch.
He admitted he was a little flustered now, but he maintained his outward composure, not revealing the slightest hint of it.
This was unreasonable. She had no reason to be here. She should be deep within the Lake of Life, recovering from her injuries with the help of the Life Gold. He had never appeared in her sight either.
Huo Yuhao suddenly thought of something: the Star Dou Great Forest. He had triggered two echoes in the Star Dou Great Forest before.
'Damn it, isn't this ridiculous? All I did was disturb your sleep. Is it necessary to come find me without even recovering from your injuries?!'
In the Spiritual Sea, the Ice Empress and Tianmeng also found it unbelievable, because they actually felt a bloodline-level suppression from that figure. What in the world was going on?!
One was a 400,000-year-old fierce Soul Beast, and the other was a million-year-old Ice Silkworm. Even though they no longer had their original bodies, the essence of their bloodline level remained. Yet, they felt pressure from a human!
"Yuhao, that person is not simple!"
After the Ice Empress spoke, Tianmeng also wiggled her body and said seriously,
"That's right, the other party's bloodline level is terrifyingly high. She doesn't seem like a human; she's more like a Soul Beast. And, I actually feel a familiar sensation from her, which is really strange."
Huo Yuhao replied in the Spiritual Sea, "That's not strange, Tianmeng. Do you remember our first meeting in life?"
Tianmeng smiled, happily wanting to talk for days and nights, but suddenly froze, realizing something.
"Yuhao, do you mean that the other party is a transformed fierce Soul Beast from the Star Dou Great Forest?"
That made sense. She had said it herself: that inexplicable sense of familiarity had made her skin crawl, and now she knew where it came from.
Thinking of this, Tianmeng became angry and a little scared. 'A bunch of bastards, wasn't it enough to absorb me in the Lake of Life for so long? I finally escaped, and I haven't even sought revenge yet. Now they've actually come looking for me. Are they not going to let a silkworm live?'
Yuhao hasn't grown up yet. Just give him a little more time!
With just a few words, the Ice Empress also roughly understood what was going on.
"Yuhao, is the other party after Tianmeng?"
Shaking his head, Huo Yuhao said, "No, she's after me. And Tianmeng only guessed half right. She's not human, nor is she a fierce Soul Beast. She is much more dangerous and powerful than a fierce Soul Beast."
Boom!
As soon as these words were spoken, even the Ice Empress couldn't maintain her calm expression. More dangerous than the fierce Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest? What exactly was the other party?
Could it be a God?
But how could that be!
Meanwhile, Gu Yuena's eyes held a smile. The moment she felt destiny fluctuate again, she got the answer she wanted.
The young man she was staring at in the distance was the target of her trip. She really hadn't expected him to discover her so quickly, or rather, she hadn't expected to encounter him so soon.
Since entering this academy as a human, she had searched almost every corner of this human academy during this period.
She was about to give up, but unexpectedly, fate was just so interesting.
She now only wanted to talk to him alone, to clarify the doubts in her heart, and to see whether he was the Son of Luck of Douluo Star or a powerhouse from another world. But now, it seemed the latter was more likely.
But no matter which one, he would be the key to her breaking free, because that irresistible force of fate was simply too strong.
She and he, perhaps their destinies were meant to be intertwined.
"My Lord, is that the person you're looking for in the distance? He truly seems ordinary."
Di Tian appeared beside her. With his strength, he could completely guard Gu Yuena in secret without alarming anyone.
Of course, as the king of the Star Dou Great Forest, he couldn't always guard his Lord in secret like this, but the upcoming matter was of great importance. His Lord's current strength was less than one ten-thousandth of her original body, so he had to ensure no accidents occurred.
At the very least, during this time among humans, his Lord had not been discovered by any human Soul Master.
"Ordinary? Are you talking about his appearance or his strength?"
Di Tian shook his head, his meaning clear: both.
Leaving aside the other party's weak strength, even his appearance, which was considered top-tier among humans, was nothing special in the eyes of Soul Beasts. Di Tian definitely didn't have this thought just because his Lord was paying attention to him.
In his opinion, even his own Lord's human appearance was too eye-catching. He had seen many annoying humans during this time. If it weren't for his Lord's identity, he would have difficulty guaranteeing he wouldn't teach those people a lesson.
"Forget it, Di Tian, you won't understand. It's destiny that brought me here, and it's also because of destiny that I have a chance to recover. In this era, we need to integrate."
"Current weakness doesn't mean anything. Am I not also at less than one ten-thousandth of my strength now? Judging only by appearances is a foolish thing to do."
Di Tian didn't respond to this. This feeling was truly unpleasant.
Although it was somewhat offensive, in his heart, his Lord now resembled a naive girl who knew nothing of the world. After so many years without contact with the Human World, even the most basic common sense was only recently learned.
Now she was inexplicably talking about destiny. If one believed in such things, then Lord Dragon God wouldn't have...
Troublesome. He now felt like an old father, fearing that his daughter, who hadn't seen much of the world, would be abducted by others. Uh, if his Lord's age was calculated according to Soul Beast years, she was actually a little dragon cub, and he couldn't even stop her.
And Gu Yuena also put away her cold expression, becoming majestic again. She constantly reminded herself that she was the co-ruler of Soul Beasts, all to show her arrogance and power in the upcoming meeting.
She was the one in control!
At this moment, Huo Yuhao had already entered the imperial palace. The moment he withdrew his Spiritual Detection Sharing, Gu Yuena also disappeared from the rooftop.
In the second Spiritual Sea, "Electrolux, I seem to be in trouble."
The matter had already occurred. Since she had already been attracted, he should quickly come up with a plan to deal with it later.
Gu Yuena was clearly after him, but for some reason, she didn't act immediately. Huo Yuhao guessed that she was probably confused by the 'Destiny' echo and didn't know his true background, which made her dare not act rashly.
But a meeting was inevitable. So, the next time they met would be a test of acting skills.
Electrolux had consumed a large amount of divine consciousness when he sent Huo Yun'er away last time, but he had recovered most of it these days with the help of the Life Gold.
Because he was sleeping just now, he didn't notice the scene outside.
Now, looking at the three little ones with unpleasant expressions and hearing Huo Yuhao roughly explain the other party's background, he also frowned.
An existence whose true body possessed divine power—he might have been able to contend with her at his peak, but now, existing only as a divine consciousness, he was definitely not her opponent.
However, he quickly regained his godly composure and smiled faintly.
"Yuhao, since you said she has no ill intentions towards you for now, and she doesn't dare to probe because she doesn't know your background, then I think we can go along with the act."
The Ice Empress and Tianmeng had stopped speaking when they heard Huo Yuhao say that the other party was the Silver Dragon King, the co-ruler of Soul Beasts. Now, hearing Electrolux say this, they both looked at Huo Yuhao.
"I only have a general idea, but I'll need Electrolux to cooperate with me next."
Smart people didn't need much communication; their thoughts aligned in an instant.
Only the Ice Empress and Tianmeng, the two Soul Beasts, looked at each other, completely unaware of what had just happened.
What did that mean? What about acting along? What about cooperating? It was settled just like that? Why did it feel like nothing was said?
However, Huo Yuhao didn't intend to stop there. He planned to take advantage of this opportunity to plant a seed for himself. After that, he would just quietly wait for it to take root and sprout.
And this decision might, to some extent, help him pass the Gu Yuena hurdle and also lay the foundation for the appearance of that ultimate echo later.
But he would have to enter a certain persona for a period of time, and he wasn't sure if it suited him.
