Douluo Continent, I, Huo Yuhao, defy fate with my spiritual eyes.

The Body Sect originally wanted to send someone to escort Huo Yuhao, but Huo Yuhao refused. Although being under someone's protection was safe, it would lose many meanings.

On the way back to Shrek Academy, Electrolux told Huo Yuhao everything about the undead plane, including some uses that he hadn't had time to explain in his previous life.

He also teaches all sorts of necromancy.

Huo Yuhao's life along the way was incredibly fulfilling. He traveled around, cultivated and studied, and chatted and joked with various spirits from time to time.

As they spent more and more time together, Hyotei gradually came to understand her own feelings. For Yukiteri, it wasn't love, but rather a sense of recognition as a kindred spirit.

As the supreme royal family in the far north, the Ice Emperor felt incredibly lonely. Although the other 100,000-year-old Ice Jade Scorpions also possessed intelligence, they would tremble and prostrate themselves in the presence of her, making communication impossible.

Only when he sees Yuki-tei can Hyo-tei feel normal communication and release his pent-up emotions.

Over time, Hyotei mistakenly believed that this feeling was what humans called love.

It wasn't until she became Huo Yuhao's soul spirit, saw all sorts of scenery, and experienced various things, that Ice Emperor finally realized her mistake.

Her feelings for Xue Di were similar to those of a close friend, a sister, or a best confidante.

Of course, she still looked down on Tianmeng Ice Silkworm as always, which made Tianmeng very frustrated, and he always looked aggrieved.

Returning to Shrek City, the bustling streets brought Huo Yuhao a long-lost sense of vibrancy, making him feel more alive. He even took a rare stroll through the streets.

But he soon regretted it, because he ran into a handsome young man with short, light blue hair.

His every move attracted the attention of many passersby. He had a handsome and gentle appearance, and looked more like a girl.

His brows furrowed with pain and weariness, as if he were struggling with fate but had no choice but to submit, his whole body radiating an awkwardness.

Wang Dong, who received Tang San's order, has already withdrawn from school and is now preparing to go to the Haotian Sect to break the seal and regain her female identity.

He also saw Huo Yuhao and froze.

Tang San gave her two orders: one was to suppress Huo Yuhao, and the other was to forge a bond of love during the battle.

The other one is the newly released one, who reverts to her female identity and attracts Huo Yuhao in a gentle way.

The constant interplay between the two commands affected Wang Dong's fragile mind; his pink-blue eyes would sometimes blaze with fighting spirit, and other times brimming with tenderness.

Amidst the mutual attacks of commands, Wang Dong suddenly detached himself from his emotions, coldly watching his own consciousness fight in a bizarre way. This was his body's instinct to protect itself, providing a moment of respite.

If Wang Dong hadn't met Huo Yuhao, none of this would have happened.

Within the Clear Sky Sect, Tang San's contingency plan will make everything Wang Dong did seem logical and eliminate any potential anomalies.

Whether it was the effect of luck or just a coincidence, the two met again.

The hidden danger was activated prematurely, and Wang Dong knelt down in agony, his face contorted with rage, his expression constantly shifting, but his eyes remained cold.

The street was bustling with people, and Wang Dong was already quite eye-catching. His kneeling before Huo Yuhao was even more shocking, and the crowd looked at the two of them strangely.

Huo Yuhao also noticed something was wrong and quickly went to help Wang Dong to a secluded alley.

Without any hesitation, Huo Yuhao slapped Wang Dong's delicate cheeks a few times, calling out.

"Wang Dong? Wang Dong? Can you hear me?"

But Wang Dong'er's eyes were tightly closed, as if she couldn't hear anything, and she kept muttering in her sleep, her whole body trembling slightly.

"Um... uh... Huo Yuhao, I want to fight you! I'm Wang Dong'er, nice to meet you!"

Huo Yuhao was taken aback by the completely different babbling, and began to wonder which move Tang San was using this time.

After placing Wang Dong on the ground, Huo Yuhao was ready to slip away, since he really only wanted to develop and didn't want to have anything to do with Tang San.

At this moment, Electrolux finished his observation and spoke with great interest.

"Wait, Yuhao, something really seems wrong with her!"

Huo Yuhao paused, his steps faltering.

"Teacher, what do you mean?"

Electrolux said slowly.

"She seems to have entered a rare detached state, which means that something extremely destructive is happening in her consciousness and her body is protecting itself by forcing her into a state of dormancy. Normally she should be unconscious."

Although it was in great pain, it was in good spirits and even almost pounced on Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao quickly took two steps back to create some distance.

"This doesn't look like someone who's unconscious."

Electrolux smiled helplessly and began to analyze the situation more deeply.

"I guess it's because the sea god did something that caused this little girl's consciousness to become confused. Since she couldn't resist the divine power, even when her spirit was separated, she could only remain conscious. You can look into her eyes; can you see a kind of bewilderment deep inside? That's her true consciousness."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao looked over curiously. His pink-blue pupils were a mixture of fighting spirit and tenderness, but through this appearance, Huo Yuhao could indeed see a sense of bewilderment.

Like a child who has never experienced the world, facing the complexities of reality alone, feeling lost and helpless.

Huo Yuhao felt a little depressed. Although he had fallen in love with Wang Dong in his previous life because of Tang San's influence, everything he had experienced with Wang Dong was still very clear to him.

The complex feelings of estrangement and closeness made it difficult for Huo Yuhao to completely sever ties with Wang Dong.

"What a poor child."

Huo Yuhao's heart stirred, and he followed up with the question.

"Teacher, did you notice anything?"

"I noticed before that her every move was very abrupt and stiff, not like it came from her own heart, but like she was being controlled by someone, especially after that power of the sea god appeared, it became even more obvious."

That happened when Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong fought. At that time, Electrolux had already noticed something unusual, but he wasn't sure and didn't say anything.

"To be able to completely control the consciousness of a living person with just a wisp of divine thought, one can probably guess that Tang San used his closest relatives, and it had to be during their childhood, when their souls were weak, to apply a mark to achieve this effect."

"So, Wang Dong was manipulated from a young age?"

"Yes, I lost my freedom from a young age."

Electrolux's words were tinged with pity. As a necromancer, he had to keep his heart pure, and naturally he despised Tang San's heinous behavior.

Huo Yuhao was even more reluctant to abandon Wang Dong, seeing a reflection of his past self in Wang Dong.

In his previous life, he had also met Wang Dong's mother, Xiao Wu, who was the link between the Asura God and Tang San. He could tell that she truly loved her daughter and was not capable of doing such a thing.

This is very similar to Huo Yuhao's experience.

The mother took good care of her, but the scumbag father ignored her completely.

In comparison, Wang Dong is more pitiful, as her scumbag father is also trying to harm her.

Huo Yuhao suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

Under these circumstances, Wang Dong's resentment towards Tang San must also be very strong!
