Douluo Continent: Reborn as Yuhao, they all have ulterior motives.

Chapter 114 is being marked.

In the turbulent flow of time and space.

Feeling his own life force gradually fading away, and looking at the girl whose forehead was pressed against his, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but pull her closer into his arms.

"What are you doing?"

"Making a mark."

Qiu'er explained in a calm tone, "I haven't had enough time with you in this life. I've heard that gods are reincarnated as long as their souls don't dissipate after death. If there really is a next life, this mark should help you and guide me to find you."

Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment. Before he could speak, a hot touch assaulted his lips, silencing all his words.

After a long while, Qiu'er finally raised her head, her tone stubborn and earnest.

"In the next life, I still want to be with you..."

At this point, she hesitated for a moment, then lightly pecked Huo Yuhao's lips again before pulling away.

Unlike the previous kiss, which was passionate, lingering, and irresistible.

Right now, this love, which seemed to contain all the tenderness of a young girl, was so careful and gentle, so intense that it was almost overwhelming, easily swept over Huo Yuhao's mind.

In his final moments, it stirred within him an emotion called joy.

Don't forget me.

……

Pulling himself away from his last memories of his past life, Huo Yuhao stared blankly at the rose-gold spirit ring beneath him.

Is this the help Qiu'er was talking about?

"What happened?"

After an unknown amount of time, Huo Yuhao, coming back to his senses, subconsciously looked up when he heard the ethereal voice in his ear.

Looking at the three-eyed golden lion in front of him, who was unharmed and seemed to be still immersed in her memories, Huo Yuhao raised his hand to rub his sore eyes, and couldn't help but gently stroke her head twice before turning to look at Gu Yuena.

"Uh... how should I put it?"

Huo Yuhao, who was also completely bewildered, stammered for a long time before finally managing to organize his thoughts and recount his experience.

"I was originally looking for my third spirit ring, and then I sensed Qiu'er... the auspicious beast approaching me, so I waited for a while."

Recalling his experience of being pinned down by the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"Ahem, and then you saw what happened next, well, it turned out like this."

Gu Yuena nodded as if she understood, and although her eyes flickered slightly when she heard the word "Qiu'er" slip out, she did not choose to ask at this moment, recalling the look Huo Yuhao had given the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

Gu Yuena blinked twice as she looked down at the rose-gold spirit ring at Huo Yuhao's feet.

"And your spirit ring?"

"This is a bit complicated to explain. Simply put, it should be that some kind of power contained in my Eye of Destiny was activated when I was performing attribute connection with the auspicious beast just now, and the soul ring condensed on its own."

Without needing to release it, Huo Yuhao could already clearly sense the two super soul skills contained within, which were exactly the same as those in his previous life.

A fatal blow that, upon impact, can strip away the soul's defenses.

And soul stripping, which can dismantle mental defenses upon impact.

The combined effects of the two skills, along with the "Reign Supreme" combat technique that mixes soul power and spiritual power, will undoubtedly bring a terrifying boost to Huo Yuhao.

Seemingly noticing that Gu Yuena was still somewhat surprised, he continued to add.

"Just think of it as something like those original sins, something from before I died in my past life..."

"Yuhao..."

Before they could finish speaking, a murmur that sounded almost like a dream drew their attention.

As if waking from a dream, the three-eyed golden lion, which had seemed to be sleeping, opened its eyes again as the murmuring stopped. Anyone could see the undisguised drowsiness and confusion in its eyes.

After a somewhat dazed glance around, her crimson eyes involuntarily fell on Huo Yuhao. After a while, the confusion gradually faded, replaced by a clear look mixed with rich and complex emotions.

She was completely dumbfounded.

Before looking at the memories, I thought I had overstepped my bounds with the Lord's people. But when I looked at the memories, wow, I didn't expect that the Lord was the one who lacked martial virtue and stole her home at the beginning.

Who can keep this up?!

Especially through Huo Yuhao's memories, he saw the intimate relationship between the two of them, who often slept in the same bed.

They're sleeping together now, and she doesn't even dare to think about what might happen next!

She had never received such treatment, not even in her previous life!

If she hadn't asked Di Tian to speak on her behalf this time, and hadn't managed to escape from that ominous place, these two would probably have a child by now in a few years!

I'm so angry!

Not only did I fail to seize the initiative in my past life, but I've been outmaneuvered again in this one.

Recalling its past life, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's gaze gradually hardened.

No!

This time, she won't back down no matter what.

"Give me a day."

"……what?"

Hearing the pleasant female voice, Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment.

As soon as he finished speaking, the three-eyed golden lion couldn't help but glance at Gu Yuena. When it met those purple eyes that showed no emotion whatsoever, Gu Yuena's body stiffened.

Even though she felt a chill run down her spine, she still looked at Huo Yuhao with a stubborn and earnest gaze and said, word by word.

"I want to go to the human world with you."

……

a few days later.

"Young lady, here, have a cup of tea."

"Thank you, Auntie. Just call me Qiu'er."

Looking at the blonde girl who seemed a little older than Huo Yuhao, sitting somewhat reservedly on the sofa, Huo Yun'er smiled and handed her a steaming cup of water, then glanced at Huo Yuhao with a sense of relief.

It seems her son knows how to restrain himself a bit. She originally thought he had been with many women this year, but it turns out there was only one.

Yeah, it's a bit cramped at home, but I can still sleep there.

However, Huo Yuhao, who was sandwiched between Qiu'er and Gu Yuena, did not think that way.

From the moment she entered the room until now, Qiu'er's gaze had been constantly sweeping over Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan, who were sitting on the opposite sofa, and then she would give him a strange look, which made him unable to hold back.

Compared to Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan, who were casting resentful glances at him, Qiu'er naturally knew about his past life and the relationship between the two people in front of her because she had seen his memories.

That's why that meaningful gaze felt so piercing to Huo Yuhao.

It's like having done something wrong and finally being discovered.

Huo Yuhao immediately coughed lightly and said, forcing himself to speak.

"Ahem, Mom, I'm a little tired from the journey. I'll go back to my room and rest for a bit."

After saying that, he stood up abruptly and walked upstairs without looking back, all under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Along the way, he subconsciously looked around the home he had lived in for almost six years, and the scene in the hotel back then involuntarily floated into his mind. A thought suddenly arose in his heart.

It does seem a bit small.

My six-year lease is about to expire, so I'll take advantage of the holiday to move to a bigger place.

Arriving at his room door, Huo Yuhao pushed it open and saw a tall figure seemingly changing his bedding, which startled him.

"Aunt Jiang, I can do these myself."

Upon hearing the voice, Jiang Wanjun paused, turned around, and chuckled when she saw him.

"You must be tired from your journey. I just did this little thing for you. Besides, I'm staying at your place now, so why are you being so polite?"

Huo Yuhao's lips twitched. Since things had come to this point, he really couldn't refuse, so he could only nod helplessly.

"Then I'll have to trouble Aunt Jiang."

"It's no trouble, it'll be ready soon."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao simply leaned against the door and waited quietly.

Listening to Qiu'er's restrained voice downstairs when she was facing Huo Yun'er, which anyone could hear, and looking at the busy figure in front of him, a faint sense of warmth welled up in Huo Yuhao's heart, causing the corners of his lips to unconsciously curl up.

"By the way, Yuhao, how has your year been at the academy?"

"Ah, that's good."

The gentle words pulled Huo Yuhao back from his dazed thoughts. After a brief moment of thought, he added a sentence.

"Sister Nannan takes good care of me."

"You children."

Jiang Wanjun looked up at him reproachfully, as if she had heard something funny.

"When Xiaoya and Nannan came back, they said it was you who took care of them."

"Ahem, we're just helping each other out."

"Alright, I was just asking casually."

Without delving further into the truthfulness of Huo Yuhao's words, Jiang Wanjun stood up, clapped her hands, and walked towards the door while talking.

"I've changed your bedding. You look exhausted, so you should get some rest."

"Thank you, Auntie."

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Wanjun, who happened to be passing by Huo Yuhao, subconsciously paused. She raised her hand, roughly compared her height with Huo Yuhao's, and couldn't help but sigh.

"I didn't realize it when we saw each other every few days, but after a year apart, you've grown to be almost as tall as me."

As she spoke, Jiang Wanjun couldn't help but rub his head.

"You're getting more and more handsome, alright. I won't bother you anymore, get some rest."

As Huo Yuhao watched Jiang Wanjun go downstairs, he had just climbed into bed when an unexpected figure pushed open the door and walked in.

Seeing the girl's resentful expression, Huo Yuhao, who already knew the reason, blinked and asked knowingly.

"Qiu'er, why don't you chat a little longer down here?"

"You know perfectly well that I'm terrible at handling this kind of thing, and you still left me down there all alone!"

Although she had been mentally prepared on the way back, she found that those things were completely ineffective when she actually faced Huo Yun'er, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.

If Huo Yun'er hadn't noticed her restlessness and offered to let her come up to find Huo Yuhao, she probably would have gone crazy.

Seeing Huo Yuhao's barely suppressed laughter, Qiu'er was immediately furious and launched a flying pounce.

Caught off guard, Huo Yuhao was once again pinned to the bed in human form by the other party, before he could even beg for mercy.

Her fiery lips, just like in their past life, silenced all his words.

"Waaaaah—!!"

After a long while, the girl finally raised her head, looked at Huo Yuhao who was panting slightly beneath her, and let out a cold snort.

"I haven't done the mark for this life yet, so I'll do it for you!"

P.S.: I had a bit of a cold yesterday and really didn't have the energy to write. I'll post the second chapter at 6 PM today. Please forgive me.
