Douluo Continent: The Peerless Hunting Heavenly Lord, Huo Yuhao!

Gu Yue tensed up, a silver-white dragon scale faintly glowing on his chest, his eyes filled with vigilance and scrutiny: "What is your purpose in trespassing at night?"

"It's very simple."

Huo Xiaohei raised his hand, and an invitation with gilded patterns and luxurious texture appeared out of thin air, shimmering with light and exuding an air of sophistication.

"Old Sambo has come all this way to invite you to participate in a gambling game," Huo Xiaohei said with a perfectly timed smile. "The rewards are more generous than you can imagine."

Gu Yue's gaze was sharp. He stood with his arms crossed, his aura calm and composed: "With just a game invitation, you dare to break into my residence in the dead of night? Is your behavior merely for amusement?"

Gu Yue doesn't believe in gifts given without a reason.

"Of course, that's not all." Huo Xiaohei threw out a heavy bait, perfectly manipulating people's hearts. "I know what you want in your heart. You want to break through the shackles, escape fate, and pursue eternity."

"Regarding Huo Yuhao, and regarding true 'immortality,' I have all the answers you seek here."

Gu Yue's eyes flickered slightly, her heart wavering, but her expression remained indifferent: "Words are no proof."

“I understand.” Huo Xiaohei shrugged and chuckled. “Fools never make empty promises. So, I’ve prepared a gift for you—a method to embark on the path of ‘immortality,’ plus a set of exclusive experimental transformation techniques.”

He was secretly laughing inside.

The so-called immortal destiny is nothing but a veneer of falsehood.

This is the wondrous method of transformation into a dragon for the descendants of the Vidyadhara!

It was a fun gadget that he dug out from Aha!

Huo Xiaohei smiled, wanting to laugh at the thought of Huo Yuhao, still a virgin, being completely bewildered to have a child with his bloodline.

This is... so much fun!!

"it is good."

……

A giant, gilded cocoon floated in mid-air, its aura slowly receding, and the power of destiny gradually subsided.

Gu Yue bent slightly, raised her hand to wipe the fine beads of sweat from her forehead, and looked tired.

Staring blankly at the giant golden cocoon floating silently before her, Gu Yue turned to Huo Yuhao with a bewildered expression: "What... is this?"

She had followed the methods given by Sangbo throughout the entire cultivation process, but the result of creating this unknown giant cocoon left her completely baffled.

Looking at her innocent and bewildered expression, Huo Yuhao was both amused and exasperated. Helpless, he rubbed his forehead and gave up trying to stop her.

“Gu Yue.” Huo Yuhao’s voice carried a hint of helplessness, “What Sang Bo gave you was not some immortal destiny cultivation technique at all.”

Gu Yue was taken aback: "Huh? But he said this is Ah Ha... the tavern owner, who found the immortal secret technique from the descendants of the Vidyadhara Dragon."

"Holy crap!"

Huo Yuhao was utterly speechless, having finally grasped the absurd nature of this group of masked fools.

Fabricating origins, using random names, and luring people into their schemes—they're practically professionals...

He took a deep breath, pointed at the slowly trembling golden cocoon, and said, word by word:

"This is the wondrous method of dragon transformation for the descendants of the Vidyadhara."

The voice just fell.

Click! Click!

A series of fine cracking sounds suddenly rang out.

The surface of the tight, gilded cocoon is cracked with countless fine lines, and the golden halo peels off layer by layer.

The next second, a slender, fair, and delicate little hand gently emerged from the crack in the cocoon, its fingertips twitching slightly, pure and clean.

The gilded cocoon shell trembled continuously, and fine cracks spread out like a spider web.

Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue stood side by side, their gazes fixed on the fair and delicate little arm peeking out from the gap. For a moment, both of them were stunned and didn't know how to react.

Huo Yuhao's mind was filled with chaotic thoughts, and memories of the Dragon Transformation Technique clearly surfaced.

He was well aware of the risks of this secret technique. In the game, Danfeng and Yingxing tried to transform their old friend into a dragon, but the first one that was born was a ferocious and out-of-control evil dragon. After many twists and turns, Bailu was finally born.

There may be only one successful case, but the cost of failure can be enough to overturn an entire world!

Huo Yuhao was on high alert, fearing that an uncontrollable monster might be born from the cocoon. He would have to use the power of the "Hunter" destiny to nip the threat in the bud.

Just as my thoughts were racing, another small hand reached out, its two tiny hands scratching and clawing wildly, tearing at the surrounding golden cocoon walls. The cocoon shell suddenly cracked open, creating an even larger gap.

A pair of heterochromatic eyes, alternating between blue and purple, slowly opened, clear and innocent, filled with the unique curiosity of a newborn being.

His gaze pierced through the shattered golden halo, meeting Huo Yuhao's dark eyes directly.

The little guy seemed to sense a connection with his bloodline, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he waved his chubby little hands, babbling indistinct syllables.

The next instant, a soft, sweet child's voice rang out clearly: "Dad... Dad..."

Huo Yuhao froze, his mind going blank for a moment.

It was truly too sudden; I was completely unprepared.

He stared intently at the newborn child inside the cocoon. The child had long, smooth, silver-white hair, with a few strands of dark highlights. There was also a stubborn, upright ahoge on the top of the head that he couldn't suppress no matter what he did.

Perhaps due to the miraculous transformation into a dragon, faint white dragon scales were visible around the edges of the child's cheeks, and a fluffy, snow-white dragon tail hung down behind him, swaying gently from side to side.

Fortunately, what was ultimately born was not a raging, evil dragon, but a child with complete intelligence.

Huo Yuhao suddenly realized what was happening, and a hint of surprise flashed through his mind.

Did Ahha unintentionally accomplish something worthwhile?

This secret technique, which was passed from Sangbo to Guyue, is not the original Dragon Transformation Method by Danfeng, but a modified and optimized version.

But then again, the Masked Fools under the Star God of Pleasure have always prioritized pursuing pleasure. This down-to-earth approach of improving secret techniques and avoiding fatal flaws is completely out of step with their usual style!

"So cute!"

Gu Yue, standing to the side, felt the bond between blood relatives. Looking at the child's innocent and pure appearance, her soft maternal instincts were instantly touched, and her eyes were filled with love.

The little one tilted his head, turned his gaze to Gu Yue, and spoke again: "Mommy..."

Just two words were enough to completely captivate Gu Yue.

Gu Yue quickly stepped forward, carefully took the child into her arms, and gently stroked the little one's soft cheeks with her fingertips, unable to put the child down.

“Yuhao, we are her creators, so naturally we must take on the responsibility of raising her.” Gu Yue held the child in one arm and took out the jade tablet with the other, constantly adjusting the angle and taking several photos in a row, wanting to preserve this precious newborn appearance.

"That's natural." Huo Yuhao nodded solemnly. He had made up his mind as soon as he realized that the Dragon Transformation Technique could give birth to new life.

Huo Yuhao lacked fatherly love from a young age and deeply understood the pain of being abandoned by his loved ones. At the same time, he would never be like Dai Hao, neglecting his own flesh and blood.

Only then did Huo Yuhao notice that the little one was still naked. He quickly fetched soft blankets and gently wrapped the child up tightly to prevent her from catching a cold.

Gu Yue looked down at the little one in her arms, whose heterochromatic eyes were blinking, and softly suggested, "Let's give her a name. Little one, what name do you like?"

The child tilted his head, his eyes filled with confusion, not understanding what a "name" really meant.

"She's just been born and doesn't understand what a name is yet." Huo Yuhao smiled helplessly, pondered for a moment, and tentatively suggested, "How about Huo... Feng?"

"No, that sounds awful." Gu Yue immediately frowned and rejected it outright.

Huo Yuhao usually has a keen eye and is thorough in alchemy and planning, but his weakness in naming is undeniable; he is a typical terrible name-giver.

The little one seemed to understand Gu Yue's emotions, and also frowned his delicate eyebrows, echoing, "No!"

Gu Yue pondered for a moment, a gentle light appearing in her eyes, and solemnly said, "Yan! Let's call him Huo Yan'er."

"Yan!" The little guy imitated him, repeating the word in a soft, sweet voice.

Huo Yuhao was curious: "Why was this character chosen?"

"Yan means peace and tranquility." Gu Yue gently stroked the tuft of hair on Huo Yan'er's head and smiled lightly, "I hope she will have no worries and live a peaceful life every year from now on."

"Peace!" Huo Yan'er repeated, her blue-purple heterochromatic eyes sparkling.

"Alright, alright, whatever you say." Huo Yuhao nodded with a smile, then turned to look at Gu Yue, the atmosphere warm and peaceful.

Just then, a deep tremor emanated from the giant cocoon in the room, and fine cracks spread across the surface of the ice.

The two immediately turned to look.

A series of cracking sounds rang out as the thick cocoon shattered layer by layer, and icy mist slowly dissipated. A white-haired girl, about twelve or thirteen years old, slowly walked out from within. A plain white dress clung to her figure, and her icy blue eyes were clear and ethereal. It was none other than the Snow Empress, who had completed her transformation and reshaping.

Seeing Xue Di in a long dress, Huo Yuhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, saving him a lot of embarrassment.

Huo Yuhao's gaze unconsciously shifted between Xue Di and Huo Yan'er in his arms, and a subtle feeling welled up in his heart.

Huo Yan'er's eyebrows and eyes are seven-tenths similar to her own. If one does not delve into the origins of their bloodline, most people who do not know the truth would mistakenly believe that Huo Yan'er is the child of Gu Yue and Xue Di.

Of course, this is on the premise that both of them are women.

Gu Yue held Huo Yan'er in her arms, and also looked at the Snow Emperor who had emerged from the ice cocoon. The atmosphere in the hall became subtle and warm.

Snow Empress's icy blue eyes narrowed slightly, her brows furrowing as she looked at Gu Yue, who was holding the infant, and slowly asked, "You are... the Lord of Soul Beasts?"

"Indeed." Gu Yue replied calmly with a faint smile on her lips, "I never expected that you, Snow Emperor, would choose to transform into a human form using a pill."

"This is my own choice." Xue Di met Gu Yue's gaze directly without flinching, then her eyes fell on Huo Yan'er, who was looking around in bewilderment in the swaddling clothes, and her thoughts froze instantly.
