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

"What did you just give to Yuhao?"

After Ning Wuque returned to Ning Tian and Wu Feng's side, Wu Feng asked a question, while also hinting:

"Is it the secret from that day?"

"A level 2 recovery soul tool, a baby bottle. What, you want to know?"

Walking on Ning Tian's other side, the three of them went out along the road leading to the Shrek Academy gate, entered Shrek City, and headed straight for the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School's residence there.

In response, Wu Feng puffed out his cheeks in a huff, staring intently at Ning Wuque's profile, trying to get him to reveal the secret from that day.

But it didn't work, so she had no choice but to reluctantly ask:

"I want to know!"

"Hey, want to know? But I'm not telling you!"

"You're bullying me! I've begged you so much... so much, please just tell me! Ning Tian~"

While making a shameful, angry cry to Ning Wuque, Wu Feng hugged Ning Tian's arm and rubbed her chest against it twice, trying to coax Ning Tian into telling her what happened that day.

She had almost forgotten about it before, but now that it's brought up, she feels like a kitten with boundless curiosity, her heart itching with longing.

Ning Tian could only laugh awkwardly twice, then turned to Ning Wuque and gave him a meaningful look, asking if he could satisfy Wu Feng's curiosity.

"No means no. A promise is a man's most important bottom line. If you can't guess, I won't break my promise and tell you anything."

"Feng Mei, how about we call it quits?"

As Ning Tian spoke, he gave Wu Feng an apologetic look.

So Wu Feng had no choice but to stop mentioning the matter. However, he kept looking at Ning Wuque with a resentful gaze, looking just like a young widow who had been seduced and abandoned.

This caused some passersby to look at Ning Wuque with slightly strange eyes.

.........

Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle.

After returning to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Wuque continued his mundane yet sweet life, constantly striving to improve his physique and soul power level.

On the other side, Huo Yuhao finally arrived at his destination with the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

The core area of ​​the far north, a hunting ground where ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts frequently appear!

The emerald green glow reflected in the sky, and a pure golden figure floated in mid-air, like an old man sitting calmly on a fishing platform, waiting for the fish to take the bait.

"Tianmeng, you're still alive? And you dare to return to the far north? Very well, since you're back, stay here and be my sustenance to help me break through to 400,000 years!"

"Heh, Hyotei, do you remember what I said back then? As long as I, Tenmu, live, one day... I will definitely marry you!"

Below, in the ice cave, Huo Yuhao looked up at the scene above with a blank expression. He had expected that Tianmeng would not tell him the truth, so he was not surprised by his current behavior.

Over the past eight months, he had sought out Ning Wuque more than once at night, asking him about the doubts in his heart.

He still remembered the question he had asked Ning Wuque that day, and the latter's reply:

"Brother Wuque, what is trust?"

"That depends on what kind of trust you're asking about. I can tell you with certainty that there aren't many people in this world you can completely trust, because trust is based on both emotions and interests, the only difference being the weight of the two."

If you just want to ask about the most basic issue of trust, then you might as well think about what kind of relationship you have with the people you trust and who will trust you, whether there are any conflicts or chains of interest between you.

"Brother Wuque, how much trust do you have in Sister Ningtian?"

"Oh? Good question! I don't trust Ning Tian, ​​I only trust myself. The reason is simple: my trust in her has gone beyond the scope of trust. As long as she doesn't do anything that crosses my bottom line, I will stand by her side unconditionally."

No matter what she does, or what she gives me or takes from me, it's the same. Since I've already gone this far, talking about trust again would be too distrustful. Do you understand?

"Since I share both glory and ruin with Brother Tianmeng, it would seem distrustful to talk about trust with him now."

Huo Yuhao murmured to himself. He was well aware of the symbiotic relationship between himself and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm. They were a Soul Master and a Soul Ring, but they were more like friends with a shallow relationship.

If they were just friends, then of course their relationship could be measured by "trust." But they are also soul masters and soul rings, so they naturally stand together and can absolutely rely on each other's friends who go beyond the scope of trust!

Even so, Huo Yuhao still hoped that Tianmeng Ice Silkworm could give its own explanation later, explaining why it didn't trust him, otherwise there would be some unpleasantness between them.

Time slips away, bit by bit.

Above the sky, the conversation between Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Ice Emperor was coming to an end:

"Bingbing, I'm here to negotiate with you."

"Negotiation? You're not worthy! Tianmeng, wouldn't it be better to just obediently become my food? Since you want to be with me so much, wouldn't it be the same if you were eaten by me?"

"Forgive me, Bingbing, it's almost time."

"What?! What is this?! Tianmeng, how dare you?!"

The roar of Hyotei echoed across the snowfield before suddenly falling silent, and the emerald green light on the horizon vanished.

Having succeeded, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm didn't linger. Instead, it retrieved the silkworm shell that had trapped the Ice Emperor and entered Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, roaring:

"Yuhao, I've got it! Let's get out of here!"

"Okay, Brother Tianmeng!"

Without hesitation, Huo Yuhao took off running towards the outer edge of the far north. Now was the time to escape, and he couldn't waste a single moment. Even if he wanted to communicate with the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, he couldn't choose this time.

He still needs revenge, he needs power, he cannot fall here!

"Yuhao..."

Floating beside Huo Yuhao, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm watched as he trusted her completely, and without saying or asking anything, she did exactly as he instructed.

This feeling of being trusted was like a sharp blade piercing his chest, turning his distrust of Huo Yuhao into a blade that cut through his heart.

"Yuhao...I..."

After fourteen hours of frantic running, they finally arrived at an open area on the outskirts of the far north where they could stop and rest.

Huo Yuhao lay sprawled on the ground, still holding the level-two baby bottle Ning Wuque had given him.

He turned his head to look at Tianmeng Bingcan, who was calling him, and asked:

"What's wrong, Brother Tianmeng?"

"I'm sorry, Yuhao, I lied to you..."

"I accept your apology, Brother Tianmeng. So, to make amends, can you help me become stronger, strong enough for me to take revenge?"

"Yes, absolutely, definitely! Yuhao~~ I promise you, I'll never lie to you again. I'll make you the strongest in the world!"

"It's a deal!"
