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

Chapter 372 A minor altercation occurred on the way.

dong dong dong-

"Come in."

As the door opened, a somewhat young-looking figure strode into the room and bowed respectfully to the beautiful woman who was resting on a recliner.

"metropolitan."

The beautiful woman opened her eyes and asked wearily, "What is it?"

"The young sect leader has returned."

"Oh? You've arrived so quickly. Was there anyone else with that child?"

"have."

The young man nodded, adding in a somewhat strange tone, "A man and a woman came with the young master. The young master... well... was carried back by the white-haired boy."

".Forehead?"

The beautiful woman was taken aback, and the lingering drowsiness in her eyes vanished instantly.

Goodness, it's only been a little over a month since they returned to Longcheng from Mingdu, right?

Unexpectedly, their relationship developed so quickly that they became so intimate that they even carried each other while walking!

This girl, she seemed resistant when we sent her over, but it turned out it was all an act?

Suppressing the smile that unconsciously crept onto her lips, the beautiful woman coughed lightly twice, feigning seriousness, and slowly stood up.

"I understand. Where are they?"

"They're coming this way."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a familiar voice called from outside.

"Mom, your beloved daughter is back! Hurry up and prepare a feast to welcome her!"

"This girl is really getting more and more outrageous."

The beautiful woman's eyebrows furrowed, a flash of annoyance crossing her eyes, and she immediately pushed open the door and went out.

"You've just come back and you're already disturbing everyone's peace and quiet. When are you ever going to be serious?"

Nan Qiuqiu glared at her and said defiantly, "People say that a day apart feels like three autumns for a mother and daughter. Now that your daughter has finally come back, not only do you not care about me at all, but you also complain that I'm disturbing your peace and quiet!?"

"Concerned about you?"

Nan Shuishui scoffed lightly, looking at her daughter who was still clinging to Huo Yuhao's back with amusement, and asked in return with a half-smile.

"With you still clinging to Yuhao even after we get home, how can I possibly care about you?"

Upon hearing her mother's reminder, Nan Qiuqiu froze, then subconsciously glanced at Huo Yuhao, who was standing right next to her.

Perhaps it was the faint fragrance that had clouded her already groggy mind, or perhaps it was the intoxicating warmth of his body, which she could feel even through thick clothing, that made her belatedly realize she had forgotten she was currently on Huo Yuhao's back.

Suppressing her shyness, Nan Qiuqiu blushed and jumped off the other person's back, then casually dusted herself off.

"What do you mean you can't bear to get off? I just forgot... Never mind, I'm going back to my room to check."

Leaving Huo Yuhao and Ling Luochen behind, Nan Qiuqiu didn't even have time to come up with a reason before disappearing from everyone's sight in a flash.

At that moment, she had no time to think about anything else; all she wanted was to get back to her room quickly, take a shower, and change into some dry clothes.

As for taking this opportunity to complain to his mother about Huo Yuhao?

Just kidding, she's such a grown woman and she's still being hung up and spanked. If word got out, people would probably talk about her for the rest of her life.

It's best to keep this embarrassing story to yourself for the rest of your life...

"This child is so impulsive and has no manners at all..."

After giving a soft reprimand, Nan Shuishui turned to look at Huo Yuhao, a hint of apology on her face.

"Sorry, Yuhao, for making you work so hard. I'll teach that girl a lesson later."

However, Huo Yuhao showed an embarrassed expression and waved his hand.

"It's alright, Senior Nan. Qiuqiu's legs are just weak and she has trouble walking, so I carried her for a while."

"Um?"

Nan Shuishui's smile faded, and she asked with concern, "Did something happen to her?"

"No, not really... Well, how should I put it... the main responsibility for this matter still lies with me..."

Huo Yuhao's embarrassment deepened.

What is he supposed to say?

You said you spanked your daughter so badly that she couldn't walk at all?

After struggling for a while, he finally came up with a suitable adjective and explained softly.

"To put it simply, we had a minor disagreement on our way to Dragon City..."

Upon hearing this, Nan Shuishui suddenly realized what had happened and quickly understood the whole story.

"It's alright, Yuhao. Auntie doesn't blame you. I've spoiled Qiuqiu since she was little. I know perfectly well how spoiled she is. You don't need to worry about my feelings. Since she's joined your Spirit Pagoda, then follow the rules of your Spirit Pagoda."

"One of the reasons I sent her to you was to toughen her up. If she does something wrong, punish her accordingly. If you're really hesitant, just tell me, and I'll discipline her for you!"

"Thank you, Auntie."

Hearing the words that were exactly the same as those spoken by his mother at the dinner table, Huo Yuhao nodded repeatedly, feeling a little strange.

"Oh, right."

Without dwelling on the issue any further, Nan Qiuqiu changed the subject.

"I've heard about the City of Original Sin these past two days. I'm sorry I couldn't lend a hand back then. If there's anything you need help with in the future, Yuhao, just let me know. Our Earth Dragon Gate will do its best to support you."

"Thank you for your concern, senior. I will handle this matter well."

"That's good... By the way, I've decided to move the whole family here."

"what?"

Seeing Huo Yuhao's confused look, Nan Shuishui explained softly, "You came to my Dragon Gate with Qiuqiu this time, probably to obtain the treasure beneath that cold spring, right?"

"Since you've taken this thing, there's no need for us from the Earth Dragon Sect to stay in Dragon City any longer. We might as well take this opportunity to go back to the Spirit Pagoda with you."

She originally thought that Huo Yuhao's creation of the Spirit Pagoda at such a young age and his possession of Soul Spirits, a technology capable of initiating revolution, was already impressive enough. She never expected that he was actually the Holy Son of the Holy Spirit Cult, and that his strength had surpassed that of Limit Douluo at such a young age, reaching a height that was difficult for ordinary people to reach.

Looking back on her experience in Mingdu, Nan Shuishui felt as if she were in a dream.

Although their Earth Dragon Sect is considered a large sect, it is not an easy task to connect with such a top-tier force that can shake up the continent's landscape.

Especially considering the terrifying potential that everyone could foresee in the Spirit Pagoda, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that this is a rare opportunity for the Earth Dragon Gate.

Therefore, in order to seize this fleeting opportunity, she decisively abandoned her plan to wait for Nan Qiuqiu to join the Spirit Pagoda for an inspection before making a decision. Instead, she prepared to wait for Huo Yuhao to finish taking the things inside the Cold Spring, and then leave Dragon City with him, moving the entire sect to the Spirit Pagoda.

"No problem, then I'll welcome Senior Nan to the team."

Huo Yuhao readily accepted Nan Shuishui's suggestion. The Spirit Pagoda was about to be officially established, and it just so happened that there was a shortage of manpower. The addition of the Earth Dragon Gate at this time undoubtedly solved his urgent problem.

"Please continue to guide me in the future, Master of the Spirit Pagoda."

Seeing that Huo Yuhao agreed, Nan Shuishui smiled and took his outstretched hand.

"That cold spring is in the backyard of the room behind me. I wonder when you plan to retrieve the treasure below? Would you like to rest for a bit?"

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

"No need. We expect to stay down there for a while. If we go down now, it might be dark by the time we come out."

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao pointed to Ling Luochen beside him: "Senior Nan, this is my senior at Shrek Academy, Ling Luochen. Her martial soul is also ice-attribute, and she will be entering the Cold Spring with me this time."

"So you're a genius from Shrek Academy. Yuhao, you know this Cold Spring better than I do. You can do as you please now. I'm going to check on Qiuqiu's condition and have someone prepare a banquet so we can celebrate properly when you come out."

"Thank you, senior."

Watching Nan Shuishui leave, Huo Yuhao took Ling Luochen's hand and led her to the vicinity of the familiar well.

"Sister Luo Chen, let me tell you about the situation here before we go down."

"This cold spring is about a hundred meters deep. About twenty meters down, there is a cave sealed off by a mechanism. Inside, there is a rare metal that has a strong amplifying effect on ice-attribute soul masters. This is one of our goals for this trip: the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal."

"These Ice Extreme Crystals are extremely hard. Only an ultimate Ice Soul Master can soften them by injecting soul power into them before they can be collected. We'll divide the work later. I need Sister Luo Chen to help me collect them all."

"Of course, if you encounter anything you don't understand, Sister Luo Chen, you can directly ask your spirit. She should also know something about these things."

"Okay." Ling Luochen nodded. "And you?"

"I will continue downwards because there is a spring below the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal. If we continue deeper, we will see another target of our trip: the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow."

"This thing is a treasure comparable to immortal herbs for both you, Sister Luo Chen, and your soul. However, the temperature in that cold spring is a bit too low, so I will go in first to absorb a portion. Once the temperature rises to a level that you can tolerate, you can come in and absorb the rest."

However, Ling Luochen did not show excitement after hearing his words; instead, she hesitated and said...

"Such a treasure should be of great help to you, right? Why don't you absorb it all and upgrade Winter's Aria for me afterwards..."

Huo Yuhao shook his head: "The Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow won't improve me much. Even if those soul spirits opened their bellies, they couldn't absorb it all. The rest was originally meant for you. If you don't want it, Sister Luo Chen, then it'll just be a waste."

Not only him, but also the Snow Empress, who has already reached the level of a god, is the same.

One absorbed the power of the Ice and Fire Dragon King and only needed to acquire soul rings step by step to unlock the upper limit, so that he could continuously break through the cultivation level. The other even broke through the limits of this world in one fell swoop with the help of a massive amount of faith power.

For the two of them, it was better to share more of the insignificant improvement from the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow than to covet it. After all, a stronger soul spirit would lead to a corresponding improvement in the quality of their soul rings and even the power of their soul skills.

"I see."

Seemingly persuaded by Huo Yuhao, Ling Luochen finally stopped refusing and nodded with a grateful expression: "Then let's begin."

With a splash, the two jumped down from the well and plunged into the icy spring.

As Huo Yuhao released his Spirit Eye Martial Soul, circles of blue light patterns immediately appeared in his azure eyes. After sharing the effects of his mental detection with Ling Luochen, he skillfully pulled the other party down to dive.

"Is this really an ancient ice cave?!"

Sensing that familiar aura, Tianmeng Bingcan's resounding voice echoed from her mental space: "Yuhao, how did you know about this place?"

"I've been here once before."

Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "That was a long time ago."

"Really? That's a shame."

Perhaps because she was too excited, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm didn't make too many connections and just assumed that Huo Yuhao was talking about something that happened before he became a god.

"If I had met you before those guys in the Star Dou Great Forest sucked me dry, I might be a divine beast by now."

Let alone absorbing all of the ten-thousand-year-old Xuanbing marrow below, even absorbing just a portion would be enough for him to advance from ninety-nine hundred thousand years to one million years.

In this way, he not only avoids the nightmare-like life of the Star Dou Great Forest for nearly ten thousand years, but also has enough time to find a way to obtain the power of faith and become the first divine beast in the history of Douluo Continent before Xue Di.

"Heh, seeing how those two guys from the Clear Sky Sect are treated, you still dream of becoming a divine beast?"

Ice Emperor scoffed: "There should be a considerable amount of ancient ice marrow down there, enough for you to reshape your physical body. I think you should go to the God Realm now and take a look."

Tianmeng shook her head, completely unconcerned: "Becoming a divine beast doesn't necessarily mean going to the God Realm. I can be like the Snow Empress, serving as Yuhao's divine ring!"

Although a million-year soul ring is also unprecedented, because his body lacks combat power and he has not truly become a god, in terms of skill effects alone, he is definitely not comparable to Niu Tian Titan and Niu Tian Titan.

On the contrary, if he could advance to the rank of priest like the Snow Empress, the effect of his skills would definitely be greatly enhanced.

Just then, a voice filled with curiosity suddenly rang out.

"Little Scorpion, are you saying that this Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Profound Ice Marrow can help you reshape your physical bodies?"

Seemingly surprised by Yi Lao's sudden appearance, Hyotei paused for a moment before answering truthfully.

"It's only a possibility, and the physical body formed through this method is quite different from a real flesh and blood body. In layman's terms, it can give us a body so that we won't gradually dissipate because our souls have no place to rest when we are too far away from Huo Yuhao, but it cannot give us life in the true sense."

".I see."

Elder Yi nodded, a strange smile playing on his lips as he looked at Tianmeng Ice Silkworm beside him.

"It seems your wish to become a god-like being is about to come true, Big Bug."

P.S.: Happy New Year to all my fellow readers!
