Douluo Continent: Huo Yuhao obtains the Flame Emperor template

Chapter 125 If Miss Meng dies of old age, Yuhao will be mine alone.

Di Ruiqiu feigned pity, sighed softly, picked up her drink and took a sip, her pretty face showing a look of sadness for Meng Hongchen.

"Miss Meng, imagine that scenario: after Yuhao and I become gods, we will remain forever young, but you will become an old woman in your seventies or eighties... After you die hundreds of years later, I will be the only one to accompany Yuhao for the rest of his life."

"Ah... But when that time really comes, I believe Miss Meng will have no regrets in this life." After saying that, Di Ruiqiu sighed sadly again.

She raised her eyelids and glanced at him, then slowly shook her head, saddened by Meng Hongchen's eventual death from old age.

"Pfft—cough cough cough..."

Meng Hongchen spat out her drink, her chest heaving as she choked. She felt a surge of anger rising within her. She raised her face, staring at Di Ruiqiu in disbelief. How could someone be so despicable!

Jing Hongchen's face was filled with astonishment and surprise after hearing Di Ruiqiu's words.

The question of when one will become a god has become a topic of casual conversation, as if becoming a god is not difficult at all.

He knew that his granddaughter and Yuhao had a good relationship, so Jing Hongchen didn't pay much attention to the bickering between his two daughters, Meng Hongchen and Di Ruiqiu. On the contrary, Di Ruiqiu subconsciously and casually used the example of becoming a god to tease his granddaughter, which made Jing Hongchen realize that Di Ruiqiu's background was extraordinary.

Meng Hongchen was choked and speechless for a long time. Di Ruiqiu's words just now lingered in her mind, and her anger and frustration were written all over her face.

"An old woman in her seventies or eighties? You'll spend your life with Yuhao?"

"Rachel, you're absolutely shameless!"

Meng Hongchen was furious. He slammed his fist on the table, stood up, rolled up his sleeves, and wanted to go over and beat up Di Ruiqiu.

Huo Yuhao quickly grabbed Meng Hongchen's wrist and rolled her sleeve back up.

"Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive. Rachel is just trying to annoy you, can't you see that? If I really become a god as Rachel says, I know perfectly well how Sister Meng will treat me, and I will never let Sister Meng down in the slightest."

Huo Yuhao took a handkerchief from Di Ruiqiu's bag and handed it to Meng Hongchen, asking her to wipe off the drink that had just been spilled on her.

He told Meng Hongchen that even if he couldn't help her become a god, he and Di Ruiqiu would still help Meng Hongchen and her family ascend to the divine realm.

Meng Hongchen took the handkerchief, wiped her lips, and smiled, "Yuhao is still the best to his sister, unlike that blonde girl who is so loud and doesn't know any manners."

"Huh?" Ye Guyi raised her eyelids, her fingertips rubbing the ends of her light golden hair, as if she had something to say.

Meng Hongchen pointed at Di Ruiqiu and added, "Guyi, Senior Sister wasn't talking about you, she was only targeting her."

Ye Guyi said "Oh," nodded, and smiled, "Yes, I know. Rachel is usually quite direct."

What Di Ruiqiu just said was heartbreaking, but it was the truth. If Di Ruiqiu and Huo Yuhao didn't help Meng Hongchen, they would definitely not be able to escape getting old in the end.

"Targeting only me? Then what about the Mystic Ice Heart and the Blazing Glue...?"

Di Ruiqiu's lips curved into a beautiful smile. "Since Miss Meng's belief is so firm and she is unwilling to take it, then I will keep it."

"This was nurtured by a divine herb, it's incredibly rare and hard to come by. I can't even imagine how much it will help improve the quality of your martial soul."

With that, Di Rachel put the Ice Heart and the Fiery Glue back into her bag and prepared to zip it up.

He even whispered to her, "If Miss Meng dies of old age, Yuhao will be mine alone."

"Huh?"

Meng Hongchen was taken aback. Seeing that Di Ruiqiu had actually put it back in her bag, she hesitated for a moment. In order to prevent Di Ruiqiu from having the dream of spending her life alone with Yuhao after becoming a god, she gritted her teeth and relented, "Alright, Ruiqiu, I want it!"

"I won't take it for nothing. Tell me, what do you want? As long as Mingdetang has it, I will satisfy you."

Di Ruiqiu chuckled and waved her hand, "Actually, there's nothing in particular I want. Now that Miss Meng knows about Yuhao and me, I hope you won't bother us like you did last night."

After saying that, she took out the Heart of Mystic Ice and the Blazing Glue from her bag. These two items were originally prepared by Huo Yuhao for Meng Hongchen when they left the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.

As for the claim that she would remain eternally youthful after becoming a god while Meng Hongchen would grow old and frail, Di Ruiqiu was just trying to scare the other party.

Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "Alright Rachel, give the Heart of the Profound Ice and the Blazing Glue to Sister Meng. Since I came to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, she, Brother Xiao, and the Hall Master have all taken good care of me and provided a lot of help."

Di Ruiqiu readily agreed, then used her soul power to float the Xuanbing Heart and the Blazing Glue to Meng Hongchen.

"It's not entirely free for you. Remember not to bother me and Yuhao again." Di Ruiqiu emphasized again. She was still a little unhappy about being disturbed by the Silver Dragon King and Meng Hongchen last night.

Meng Hongchen calmly accepted the Heart of Xuanbing and the Blazing Glue, and said indifferently, "As long as you don't do anything excessive to Yuhao, I won't bother with you."

Seeing this, Jing Hongchen happily thanked her, saying, "If you need anything at school in the future, just let me know."

School? Di Ruiqiu glanced at the mirrored red dust, blinked, and then, remembering that she and Wang Dong'er were not in the same school this time, her face lit up with a smile.

"Dean, I'm already very happy to be able to study at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy with Yuhao and Guyi."

"Haha, great! It just so happens that we're one person short for our reserve team in this year's Soul Master Competition."

Jing Hongchen laughed heartily a few times, then realized that there didn't seem to be enough reserve team spots for the two prodigies, Di Ruiqiu and Ye Guyi, so he fell into a brief moment of thought.

At this moment, Lin Jiayi, who had finished processing the enrollment procedures for Di Ruiqiu and Ye Guyi, walked into the office.

Jing Hongchen explained the allocation of reserve team spots to the other party.

"Jiayi, Rachel and Gu Yi are both very talented, but there's only one spot left on the reserve team. What do you think?"

Lin Jiayi pondered for a moment, glanced at Ye Guyi, and said seriously, "Master, once Ye Guyi's Holy Angel Martial Soul is revealed, it will be an irreconcilable conflict with all the evil soul masters on the continent."

"To be on the safe side, we should avoid participating in such competitions and should not easily reveal our martial spirit until we have fully trained Ye Guyi."

Upon hearing this, Jing Hongchen slowly nodded. He certainly knew this, but it was clearly inappropriate for him to say something that implied Ye Guyi would not be chosen as a reserve team member.

After Lin Jiayi played the bad cop, Jing Hongchen played the good cop, smiling kindly at Ye Guyi and saying, "Guyi, you possess the Holy Angel Martial Soul. A student with such amazing talent as you is perfectly capable of becoming a reserve team member."

Jing Hongchen stood up, put his hands behind his back, and said solemnly, "But for your safety, it's best if you don't participate in this competition."

"However, Bone Robe, you should not feel sad or disappointed. If you are willing, I can personally train you. Evil Soul Masters will not dare to cause trouble in my Mingde Hall, and I can ensure your safety to the greatest extent."

Jing Hongchen said these words to prevent Ye Guyi from getting stuck on things and to avoid her feeling disappointed because she didn't become a reserve team member.

Ye Guyi had a very optimistic smile on her face: "Dean, it's alright. Actually, it's good that I'm going to take care of Yuhao's barbecue restaurant."

From the beginning, she wanted to be the owner of a barbecue restaurant, since she could gather a lot of information about evil spirit masters there, which was much more interesting than participating in the competition.

Moreover, with the cover of several working skeletons, Ye Guyi only needed to be careful not to release the aura of the Holy Angel Martial Soul.

Jing Hongchen thought for a moment, then nodded slowly without refusing, "Alright, but remember, never reveal the aura of your martial spirit."

"I will complete the latest phase of research on 'Experiment No. 1' before the competition. I will also accompany the team. If you are interested in the competition, I can take you to watch it."

As she spoke, Jing Hongchen took out a bracelet that was as smooth as jade. It was a level 5 soul tool, which could enhance her ability to conceal her martial soul aura.

"Gu Yi, you are already quite good at concealing your martial spirit aura. Wearing this bracelet will ensure that as long as you don't actively release your martial spirit, you won't be detected by outsiders."

"Yes, thank you, Dean." Ye Guyi happily accepted the bracelet.

Jing Hongchen nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Huo Yuhao, his gaze gradually becoming more ardent.

Regardless of the circumstances, Huo Yuhao was an initial investment he had wholeheartedly invested in, and he was even grooming Huo Yuhao as his grandson-in-law. Therefore, what Jing Hongchen cared about most was Huo Yuhao's growth.

"Yuhao, what fire-attribute opportunity did you obtain during this holiday?" Jing Hongchen asked, his eyes filled with inquiry.

Huo Yuhao pondered for a moment, then with a thought, he extended his right hand, and a wisp of transparent flame emerged from his palm—the Fallen Heart Flame he had absorbed the previous night.

The transparent flame does not mean that it is invisible to outsiders, but rather that the heat of the flame will create air currents in the space.

With the spiritual power of a ninth-level Soul Master like Jing Hongchen, he could naturally sense the flame energy in Huo Yuhao's palm.

Jing Hongchen sensed the Fallen Heart Flame and his eyes gradually widened. Seeing Huo Yuhao obtain such an opportunity, he was overjoyed beyond measure.

"Its fire attribute strength seems not much weaker than your Bone Spirit Cold Fire. I can sense that it has a special tempering effect on one's spiritual power and soul power."

Huo Yuhao nodded slightly: "Yes, Hall Master, its name is Fallen Heart Flame. Since it's a heart flame, it must be of great help to mental strength."

He didn't directly mention the ability of the Fallen Heart Flame to accelerate cultivation, since such a boost was still a bit beyond the limits in the Douluo Continent.

Huo Yuhao then released the Bone Spirit Cold Fire and the Purple Fire in turn, the three flames dancing back and forth on the fingertips of his right hand.

The colors were a deep white and purple, with invisible auras emanating from them, each possessing its own unique scent.

Huo Yuhao controlled the aura of the three flames and said with a smile, "After I get used to the Fallen Heart Flame and become more proficient in controlling it, the power of the bomb gun and the Fire Lotus skill will be greatly enhanced, which means that the three flames will be fused together to form a Fire Lotus."

Jing Hongchen felt extremely pleased: "Good! Good! Yuhao, if you need any help while trying to fuse the three flames, come to me anytime."

He recalled that when he confronted Titan of the Haotian Sect at the barbecue restaurant last time, Huo Yuhao seemed to have grown a pair of wings on his back.

Most importantly, he heard from Master Kong yesterday that after His Highness the Crown Prince and Ju Zi returned from the barbecue restaurant, His Highness told Master Kong to pay attention to Huo Yuhao because His Highness the Crown Prince sensed a dragon-like aura from Huo Yuhao's body.

Thinking of this, Jing Hongchen asked thoughtfully, "Yuhao, when you opened your barbecue restaurant, was the dragon-like aura that His Highness the Crown Prince sensed from you the dragon encounter you and Rachel had during your vacation?"

Yesterday, through Di Rachel's self-introduction, I learned about the registration information for the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Di Ruiqiu also mentioned that because she possesses twin super martial souls, the Golden Dragon and the Ultimate Light, her family took her and Huo Yuhao to find opportunities with dragons during the holidays.

Huo Yuhao glanced at Di Rachel and gave her a wink.

Di Ruiqiu immediately understood and released the ultimate fire, while also releasing a slight amount of the scorching aura from the Fire Dragon King.

A cluster of brilliant golden flames rose from her palm, interspersed with a tiny, intensely red flame.

This tiny flame represents the fire element aura of the Fire Dragon King, which she shared with Huo Yuhao when she absorbed the Fire Dragon King's energy.

Di Ruiqiu said with a smile, "Dean, this is the fire-attribute dragon opportunity that my family found with Yuhao and me during the holidays."

Huo Yuhao stood up, activated his bloodline power, and the outline of a pair of dragon wings appeared on his back.

What puzzled Jing Hongchen was that the color of the dragon wings kept changing, from ice white to fiery red, and finally settled on an illusory purple dragon wing.

When Huo Yuhao went to the Yin-Yang Well, he also absorbed the energy of the Ice and Fire Dragon King. Because the bloodline of the Ancient Void Dragon was of higher quality than that of the Ice and Fire Dragon King, the dragon wings on his back appeared as illusory purple dragon wings.

He naturally couldn't say that to Jing Hongchen. Meeting Jing Hongchen's surprised and puzzled gaze, Huo Yuhao organized his words.

"Master, Rachel and I shared the opportunity with that fire-attribute dragon. The originally fiery red dragon wings must have been enhanced under the influence of my various flames, turning into these illusory purple dragon wings."

Upon hearing this, Jing Hongchen nodded slowly. Di Ruiqiu's identity was already very mysterious, and her master was completely unafraid of the Titan of the Haotian Sect.

The opportunities that Di Rachel received from the adults in her family were certainly beyond her ability to estimate.

Jing Hongchen knew this well, so he naturally wouldn't ask Huo Yuhao too many questions. He only needed to know that Huo Yuhao had grown up to be better.

Afterwards, Jing Hongchen explained the relevant system of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy to Di Ruiqiu and Ye Guyi. The grades were divided according to the Soul Master level, so the two of them would be assigned to the first year.

Di Rachel nodded happily: "Okay, then first year it is. It shouldn't be too difficult for me to learn soul tools."

She learned about the soul tools inside the light orbs while brushing the light orbs by the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest, but that foolish Wang Qiu'er didn't bother to learn about them.

Meng Hongchen snorted lightly, and the pressure-inducing Rachel said, "Soul tools aren't as easy to make as you think."

Di Ruiqiu shrugged her shoulders and said in a very irritating tone, "But my martial soul talent is strong! You might not even become a god even if you take immortal herbs, but I can become a god just by cultivating. Aren't you angry?"
