Douluo Continent: All I Do Is Destroy Rings is Skill.

Chapter 414 To Love or to Say I've Loved

"call----"

Sitting on the bed, Huo Yuhao sighed with his head down. Vina, who was beside him, did not choose to disturb him, but silently got up and left, leaving the space completely to him.

Let's turn back time a few hours.

Just after Ning Wuque left Haotian Sect for Body Sect, Huo Yuhao and Vina returned to their usual residence.

Because his health has improved, Huo Yuhao now lives in a guest villa of the Haotian Sect, where he lives with Vina.

On the way back, Ning Wuque's words kept replaying in his mind, which were about letting him make a choice.

The choice is between becoming the father he envisions, or becoming the person he envisions himself to be.

"Your father's mistake was being irresponsible."

This sentence kept echoing in Huo Yuhao's mind.

Upon returning to his residence, he immediately went to his bedroom, sat on the edge of the bed in a daze, and remained silent, quietly making a mental decision.

In the Douluo Continent, there are people who are single-minded or fickle. It is not a problem for powerful men to have multiple female partners, and conversely, it is not a problem for powerful women to have multiple husbands or male concubines.

Worldly views on love are actually very fragile and complex; they follow power as well as one's own mindset.

Huo Yuhao wasn't stupid. He understood the huge gap in status between his mother and the White Tiger Duke when he was old enough to understand things. His mother was marrying above her station, and even if Dai Hao's actions were impromptu, it would be normal to a normal person.

But so what? Just as Brother Wuque said, Dai Hao's mistake was being irresponsible. He didn't need to give his mother a title or wealth. Even just arranging for her to leave and giving her a living allowance so that he and his mother could live a happy and healthy life would have allowed him to let go of the grudges.

Or rather, this grudge never existed at all; at most, it was just a matter of him forcing the other party to give his mother a proper status after he became powerful, nothing more.

Responsibility is a heavy thing; it is an abstract concept, and its weight varies from person to person.

Perhaps in Dai Hao's view, the responsibility he felt towards his mother was like sticky rubber, with his face and status sticking to the outside, making this responsibility extremely heavy, so heavy that he wanted to ignore it.

That's what he did too. From that day on, it seemed that Huo Yun'er, this little maid, had disappeared from his memory.

Huo Yuhao didn't want to become like Dai Hao, because that would be letting down himself and his mother. So he chose a very simple and straightforward way—to be a single-minded person.

But the world always seems to go against our wishes.

He met a girl who only had eyes for him; she was so beautiful that she filled his heart when he was at his loneliest and weakest. But he ended up with another gentle woman who also only had eyes for him.

Now, the girl is in deep pain. Her father has mistakenly tried to hold them together, but this has only widened the rift between them. The girl wants to mend things, but she is only tearing her own spirit apart.

Huo Yuhao could sense that Wang Dong'er's mental state was deteriorating due to internal strife. She desperately needed a ray of light to illuminate her dark heart and help her turn back before she reached the precipice of extremes.

Can----

"I've already taken on Vina's responsibility, now I have to take on someone else's too?"

Huo Yuhao was conflicted, very conflicted, as he was facing the same choice as Dai Hao.

Is it to fulfill a young girl's fantasy, or...?

"Vina, where's Yuhao? I brought back some medicinal herbs for him, but I don't know the specifics of how to treat him."

Several hours later, time returned to the present. After arriving at the Haotian Sect, Ning Wuque followed the guidance of a disciple to Huo Yuhao's temporary residence.

Vina was in charge of greeting him.

"Thank you, Mr. Ning Wuque. Yuhao needs some time and space right now. Your words seem to weigh heavily on him. He regards you as a mentor in his heart."

Vina's expression was somewhat indescribable. Huo Yuhao would often tell her stories about his time at Shrek Academy, but she still couldn't quite understand how important Ning Wuque was to her.

He wasn't telling a story; he was stating a fact.

With just one sentence, Huo Yuhao began to ponder whether or not he should take on the responsibility for Wang Dong'er.

Vina didn't blame Ning Wuque. She had already accepted the offer when he said he could provide herbs to treat Huo Yuhao. Besides, she didn't have any ill will towards Wang Dong'er, or even any jealousy.

As a princess, she naturally received similar education, such as what to do if her king wanted to take a concubine. These were things her mother had told her in detail, so she was mentally prepared.

In fact, she did not object to Huo Yuhao accepting other women. In her opinion, it was a perfectly normal thing. What surprised her the most was his single-minded devotion, and it was also what made her happiest.

"Yuhao is a child who is easily prone to extreme emotional outbursts, which sometimes leads him to misunderstand things, especially those topics that are sensitive to him, such as betrayal and feelings."

As Ning Wuque spoke, Vina listened attentively and nodded in agreement. Of course, she understood the correctness of what he was saying. She had bullied Huo Yuhao more than once, so how could she not know his true nature?

As Ning Wuque handed the immortal item to Vina, he said, "I just wanted him to look at these things from more perspectives. Whether he does it or not, whether he believes it or not, is his own business. But so far, all his choices have been within my expectations."

So, if he chooses to shoulder the burden of two people's lives, how would you view Wang Dong'er, Mrs. Vina?

"Me? As long as Wang Dong'er can satisfy Yuhao, I don't really care. Dong'er really needs a pillar to get back on her feet. Her father's actions are really incomprehensible."

Vina sat in the chair with one hand supporting her chin, her expression not as relaxed as she had described.

As a woman, how could she not feel jealousy and anger? It's just that she could understand and accept it.

"Oh, Brother Wuque? You're here? Sister Vina, why didn't you tell me?"

77

Just as the two were chatting, the bedroom door opened, and a somewhat haggard Huo Yuhao walked out, looking extremely weak as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.

He made his choice.
