Douluo Continent: Huo Yuhao obtains the Flame Emperor template

Chapter 109 Meng Hongchen Meets Di Ruiqiu

After emerging from the undead demiplane, Huo Yuhao bid farewell to the group of immortal herbs at the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.

Upon learning that Huo Yuhao and Di Ruiqiu were leaving, the immortal herbs felt somewhat reluctant.

"Huo Yuhao, we're friends, so please take this Eight-Sided Mystic Ice Heart with you. Oh, it's too precious, I'm a little reluctant to part with it."

"I'll save it for when I have the chance to become your spirit, and then I'll give it to you."

The Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Herb was thinking of being generous and giving the Mystic Ice Heart directly to Huo Yuhao, but then it thought, without the Mystic Ice Heart, what else could it use to attract Huo Yuhao?

So, with an air of "I really want to give it to you, but I can't be too casual," it hesitated for a moment before withdrawing its generosity.

"I've already given the Heart of Qiluo to Huo Yuhao, why are you still keeping the Heart of Xuanbing? Do you even know what an investment is?"

The fragrant and exquisite fairy product loudly rebuked the short-sighted Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass.

The Eight-Cornered Ice Grass was scolded. Its eight ice crystal ridges shrank back, and it muttered softly, "Alright then, I'll give you the Heart of Ice. Huo Yuhao, you must remember me from now on."

"Don't worry, Bajiao. Even if my spirit ring configuration becomes too high in the future, it might not be a good match for you."

Huo Yuhao gave a gentle smile, reassuring the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass: "But I have a friend whose martial soul possesses the three attributes of ice, fire, and poison. In the future, she can absorb you as her soul spirit."

The Eight-Cornered Ice Grass was relieved upon hearing this. In its view, with Huo Yuhao's terrifying potential and luck, his friends must also have a certain probability of becoming gods.

The next second, the octagonal ice grass shimmered with icy blue light, casting an octagonal, translucent phantom image in the sky, which slowly condensed to form a crystal-clear ice heart that was entirely icy blue.

"Huo Yuhao, here you go, the Heart of Xuanbing."

The Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass controlled the Mystic Ice Heart and flew towards Huo Yuhao, explaining its origins.

"Its ice attribute is quite strong, and it's not difficult to absorb. It's relatively gentle and can greatly improve the purity of the ice attribute of a martial soul."

Huo Yuhao reached out and caught the Xuanbing Heart, thanked it, and put it into his storage soul tool.

Di Ruiqiu glanced at the Fiery Apricot Blossom beside the fire spring, hinting, "Hey, you saw this scene with the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass, don't you have anything to say?"

"Do you still want to become a spirit?" Di Rachel, holding the Golden Dragon Spear, raised an eyebrow and gave Liehuo Xingjiao a look, letting it reflect on its own.

"Auspicious Beast, you and Huo Yuhao absorbed the Dragon King's energy from the Fire Spring."

"We're saying goodbye now, aren't you going to give our immortal herb some gifts?" Liehuo Xingjiao was indeed fiery, and instead demanded gifts from Huo Yuhao and Di Ruiqiu.

Di Ruiqiu's eyes widened slightly, gripping the Golden Dragon Spear, and she glared angrily at Liehuo Xingjiaoshu.

Not only did he not offer her any gifts, he even dared to ask her for them.

Then, Di Ruiqiu smiled faintly and said quite sincerely.

"I will tell Da Yinlong that she will come to visit you specially in a while, and she will definitely bring you a very good gift."

Liehuo Xingjiaoshu was horrified when she recalled the Silver Dragon King's intention to take them all away at any time.

It quickly forced a calm smile and said, "Haha, auspicious beast, you're really joking. I saw you absorb the Fire Dragon King's energy and I'm genuinely happy for you. How could I not give you a gift?"

As she spoke, the fiery apricot blossoms emitted a blazing red light, dazzlingly bright, as if they were some kind of precious treasure.

Di Ruiqiu looked at the Fiery Apricot with a smile, thinking that it was wise of itself; otherwise, if the Great Silver Dragon had visited it properly, it would have simply been picked.

The fiery red light on Liehuo Xingjiaoshu's body slowly condensed, forming a gel-like substance. It said without any remorse.

"Auspicious Beast, this is the Fiery Glue produced from my body. It is a top-grade immortal product, and it takes ten thousand years to cultivate even a tiny amount of it. It has a particularly strong effect on fire-attribute soul masters."

"Really..." Di Rachel said with interest. "Looks like you're living quite comfortably next to a hot spring."

Lie Huoxing Jiaoshu was not swayed and continued to praise its blazing glue: "Don't underestimate this blazing glue. It can allow human fire attribute soul masters to cultivate their fire attribute purity to the ultimate level of fire."

"In addition, its ability to enhance the physical fitness of Soul Masters is even more remarkable, after all, it has been nourished by the aura of the Fire Dragon King."

Liehuo Xingjiaoshu said that its blazing glue is an extremely rare treasure in the world, and it is difficult for any other fire-attribute spiritual object to compare with it.

Di Ruiqiu chuckled and said, "That's great, then hurry up and give it to me as a farewell gift."

"Don't rush, I have to praise its effects before I give it to you." Fiery Apricot sighed softly, releasing red energy that formed a ball of fire that enveloped the scorching glue.

"Auspicious beasts need a strong flame to be stored, otherwise their quality will be affected by the outside world, causing the fire attribute energy to dissipate."

The fiery glue controlled by Liehuo Xingjiao slowly flew towards Di Ruiqiu.

"Both you and Huo Yuhao have reached the level of ultimate fire, so storing it should be easy."

Di Ruiqiu waved her hand and handed the floating hot glue to Huo Yuhao, saying happily, "Yuhao, you take it first, we'll use it together when we get out."

Huo Yuhao nodded slightly, releasing a wisp of Bone Spirit Cold Flame to control the temperature of the strange fire and preserve the blazing glue.

He thought about it carefully and decided to bring back some local specialties. He prepared the Mystic Ice Heart for Meng Hongchen, so that she, Di Ruiqiu, and he could share the Fiery Glue.

The Ice-attribute Mystic Ice Heart and the Fire-attribute Blazing Glue should significantly enhance Meng Hongchen's martial soul.

As for Xiao Hongchen, he brought him something, but his martial soul is of the metal element, the metal element in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye... Huo Yuhao fell into a brief moment of thought.

Then Huo Yuhao noticed the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, which had previously escaped death from the Silver Dragon King. The Earth Dragon Golden Melon had a bit of metal attribute.

The Fragrant Fairy also noticed Huo Yuhao's changing expression. Knowing what it should do, it said meaningfully, "Guagua, it's time to offer up your Earth Dragon Golden Beard."

Without hesitation, the Earth Dragon Golden Melon emitted a strong golden light, and several golden whiskers floated up from its body and then drifted towards Huo Yuhao.

After accepting the Golden Beard, Huo Yuhao thanked him and told the Earth Dragon Golden Melon that he had another friend whose martial soul was of the metal element, and that he would absorb it as a soul spirit if he had the opportunity in the future.

Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin felt a little strange. Hearing Huo Yuhao say "I have a friend" didn't seem very reliable.

It whispered to Di Rachel to confirm, "Rui Beast, you said before that you have a friend with an Angelic Martial Soul who might be interested in absorbing me as a Soul Spirit, is that true?"

Di Ruiqiu patted his chest, assuring Youxiang Qiluo Fairy Products that it was genuine.

Auspicious beasts don't deceive soul beasts, even though the Fragrant Silk Fairy is a plant-type soul beast.

Di Ruiqiu thought of the Acacia Heartbreak Red and chuckled, "Yuhao, look at that white flower. Since we've come all this way to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, we should at least take a look at it."

As she spoke, Di Rachel pulled Huo Yuhao to a large, dark rock. Their gazes fell on a small, delicate white flower that looked as if a gust of wind could blow it over.

The pure white flowers resemble peonies, but are more delicate, without fragrance or leaves, with only a touch of crimson at the base of the stem.

The king of immortal herbs, the acacia blossom that breaks one's heart.

Di Ruiqiu turned her head to look at Huo Yuhao, her eyes devoid of desire and innocent, and suggested, "Yuhao, would you like to try picking it?"

Huo Yuhao blinked: "The Red Acacia Heartbreak Red symbolizes faithful love, which shouldn't be something I should be thinking about right now."

"Oh, I forgot, Yuhao, your current age is still in the infancy stage for humans."

Di Rachel looked as if she had just woken up from a dream.

A clear and elegant voice, full of profound meaning, rang out from within the Red Heartbreak Serenade.

"Human, you're so young now, what do you know about love? Go back, come back when you're older in a few years."

Huo Yuhao was indignant that he had been looked down upon by a mere flower, but given his age, he couldn't be bothered to argue with the Heartbreak Red.

Ice Emperor approached Huo Yuhao and looked down curiously at the Acacia Heartbreak Red on the black stone.

She hesitated for a moment, then said to Xue Di with a half-joking tone and a hint of interest, "Haha, Xue Di, would you like me to give it a try?"

The Snow Empress's reproachful voice rang out: "Bing'er, don't talk nonsense."

The Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red was stunned for a moment. As a fairy herb that protects true love, it was a little confused as to whether this was love or not.

However, it quickly sorted things out and responded to Hyotei: "You and Yukiteri, one is still alive and the other has become a spirit. It doesn't seem like a manifestation of loyalty to love, so don't think about it anymore. You can't take it off. I will wait for the destined one."

Then, the Heartbreak Red said to Huo Yuhao, "Human, I don't have any gifts to give you, so I can only say goodbye verbally."

Huo Yuhao himself had no intention of picking the Acacia Heartbreak Red. After bidding farewell to the immortal herbs, he left the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Outside the Sunset Forest, Huo Yuhao took out the emerald green round pill given to him by Youyou, which was the Heart of Qiluo.

"Sister Dugu, it won't be long after we get back. I should be able to research the method of poison pills using the inner core of the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Item."

"Your problem will be completely resolved by then, and if you're willing, you can come to our school to cultivate and study normally."

Dugu Luo felt that his decision to share the map with Huo Yuhao was absolutely correct. He nodded gratefully and, escorted by Bingdi, returned to Tiandou City.

The distance between Sunset Forest and Tiandou City is not far. Not long after, Ice Emperor returned after seeing Dugu Luo off.

"Yuhao, you absolutely have to reserve your spot on the Fourth Ring Road for me."

Ice Emperor said with a serious expression, with Huo Yuhao in his left arm and Di Ruiqiu in his right arm, and flew towards Mingdu.

"Okay, don't worry, Hyotei, I'll definitely do it next time."

……

Outside Mingdu City, after sending Huo Yuhao and Di Ruiqiu off, Bingdi solemnly gave them a few more instructions before transforming into a streak of emerald light and flying away.

Huo Yuhao swiped his card and entered Mingdu City with Di Ruiqiu.

The law enforcement officers conducting security checks at the entrance stared wide-eyed at the information displayed on the instrument, then carefully observed Huo Yuhao for a few more moments.

With excitement in his eyes, he quickly told the people around him.

"Quickly inform Miss Meng of Mingde Hall that Huo Yuhao has returned."

Meng Hongchen had informed them half a month ago that if Huo Yuhao entered Mingdu City, they should inform her immediately.

Walking down the streets of Mingdu, Di Ruiqiu asked curiously, "Yuhao, shall we go find Ye Guyi first?"

Huo Yuhao thought for a moment. When he left, he gave Ye Guyi a copy of the comic book "The Story of the Angel God Chasing Tang San". She promised to return it to her personally, so she shouldn't run away.

"Let's go back to Mingde Hall and let them know we're safe."

At this moment, inside Mingde Hall, Xiao Hongchen was knocking anxiously on Meng Hongchen's door, speaking excitedly.

"Dream, I just received a message from the Mingdu City Guard that Yuhao has returned."

As soon as she finished speaking, Meng Hongchen quickly opened the door, her eyes sparkling with surprise, and the ribbon tied in her silver-white hair almost fell off.

"Then what are we waiting for, brother? Let's go find Yuhao."

Meng Hongchen felt the speed was too slow, so she even activated her martial spirit and quickly ran out of Mingde Hall, with Xiao Hongchen following closely behind.

Upon arriving at the main gate of Mingde Hall, Meng Hongchen spotted the blue hair from afar and immediately activated her flying soul tool to rush over.

"Yuhao, you're finally back."

Meng Hongchen flew over to Huo Yuhao with great joy, only to notice Di Ruiqiu, who had golden hair and red eyes and was carrying a golden dragon spear, standing next to him.

Di Ruiqiu had also already seen Meng Hongchen flying over quickly. She was dressed in a silver-white dress and had a beautiful face, clearly a young lady from a wealthy family.

Her eyes, as red as agate, gazed intently at Huo Yuhao.

Hmph, this time without Wang Dong'er, Huo Yuhao indeed compromised with another girl with an impressive background and noble status, and clung to the coattails of this esteemed girl in front of him.

Huo Yuhao felt Di Ruiqiu's gaze, laughed and scratched his head. Meng Hongchen had come to pick him up, so he couldn't say much.

Meng Hongchen glanced at Di Ruiqiu seemingly unintentionally.

However, she quickly looked away, stretched out her two fair arms to Huo Yuhao, her face beaming with smiles, but a sly glint flashed in her eyes.

"Yuhao, it's been a month. Let's hug... We slept together in each other's arms when we were eating whale jelly."

Huo Yuhao's lips twitched upon hearing this. Meng Hongchen and Di Ruiqiu had only just met, and she was already being so aggressive right from the start.

Meng Hongchen gave Huo Yuhao a hug to express her longing.

Di Ruiqiu was somewhat displeased, and the golden dragon spear she was tightly gripping in her hand twirled slightly.

Xiao Hongchen's brows twitched suddenly. Although he was happy to see Yuhao and his sister continue to have a good relationship, the current situation was clearly not right. He quickly came to Huo Yuhao's rescue, which was very loyal.

"Yuhao, I remember you said before that you wanted to open a barbecue restaurant, right? I've already picked out a location for you."

Xiao Hongchen took out a map of Mingdu, with red circles drawn on it, which were the areas he had carefully selected for Huo Yuhao.

Upon hearing Xiao Hongchen's words, Huo Yuhao gently patted Meng Hongchen's shoulder, separated from her, and then took the map that Xiao Hongchen handed him.

Xiao Hongchen thought about it for a moment and then gave him a suggestion.

"Yuhao, what name are you planning to give the barbecue restaurant? How about 'i-smile barbecue restaurant'?"

Meng Hongchen raised her eyes in annoyance, glaring at Xiao Hongchen with a huff. "Foolish laugh, ruining my good time!"
