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

Chapter 375 Is this a dream? (Posted at 6 PM)

"Hmm, there's a smell that I can't quite describe."

"You little brat, you even smelled it with your nose!"

"What does it matter? Yuhao hasn't woken up yet. As long as we don't tell anyone, no third person will know about this."

"How did I end up with such a freakish daughter?"

"Hmph, I wonder who was it that couldn't let go just now."

"Nan Qiuqiu, if you dare tell anyone, I'll skin you alive!"

"Why would I go out if I have nothing better to do? Hmm, this smell is actually quite nice after a while."

"Really?"

"Really, you can try it if you don't believe me."

The noise, sometimes near, sometimes far, reached Huo Yuhao's ears, causing him to furrow his brow almost imperceptibly.

His mind, which had long been in a state of emptiness and chaos, began to return. Although he still felt somewhat dazed, it was enough to reconnect him with his body's senses.

It's like suddenly waking up from a dream and feeling your body's existence again.

The first sensations to travel along the nerves to the brain were the chill that penetrated deep into the bones and the throbbing pain that came from the meridians.

However, what puzzled Huo Yuhao was that amidst that cool feeling, he also felt a somewhat unfamiliar warm touch.

He wasn't sure if it was because he was still in a daze, but he could feel that the touch this time was different from everyone he had ever experienced before.

He vaguely realized what was happening, and his eyelids trembled as he opened them a tiny crack. He saw two pretty faces with similar features close to Xiao Huo's, sniffing him furtively, and he didn't know what they were up to.

The girl on the left has a rosy face and her beautiful eyes sparkle with curiosity as she stares intently at the proud and upright Xiao Huo. Her expression is full of girlish playfulness. The girl on the right also has rosy cheeks, but her eyes and brows give off a mature and elegant feeling.

?

Am I dreaming?

The scene before him was so bizarre that Huo Yuhao was completely baffled.

Of course, even without understanding the situation, the stimulating sensation that shot from his spine straight to his brain still caused his body to react instinctively.

The already spirited Xiao Huo grew even stronger amidst the exclamations of the two, casting distinct shadows on their faces in the dim moonlight.

"..."

Unable to distinguish between dream and reality, his lips trembled as he tried to speak, but the effort of opening his eyes earlier had exhausted all his strength, and now he couldn't even manage the simplest thing: open his mouth.

As the throbbing pain in his head intensified, he finally closed his eyes and chose to give up.

The fact that he was able to briefly regain consciousness after suffering such severe injuries was already a testament to his extremely strong willpower. Now that his body had relaxed, his consciousness was once again enveloped by a strong sense of fatigue, and he fell into a deep sleep again.

It's gotten bigger again.

With all her attention focused on Xiao Huo, Nan Qiuqiu, oblivious to Huo Yuhao's condition, whispered, "Can we really just leave this like this?"

In contrast, Nan Shuishui was much more vigilant. Sensing something was wrong, she subconsciously looked at the unconscious Huo Yuhao. Only after confirming that his eyes were still closed did she secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness, it seems she was just overthinking it.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. According to her estimate, it would take Huo Yuhao at least two or three days to wake up. How could he possibly wake up at this time?

She lightly scoffed at her own suspicious nature, then looked away and turned to Nan Qiuqiu, who was excitedly holding Xiao Huo and fiddling with it, looking like she couldn't put it down. She couldn't help but pat Nan Qiuqiu on the head.

"You little pervert, how can you act so recklessly?"

"But this thing is really interesting!"

Nan Qiuqiu reluctantly withdrew her hand: "Besides, we can't just leave it standing there unattended, can we? Why don't you, Mom, teach me how to handle this situation?"

""

Nan Shuishui felt like she was being driven crazy by this silly little brat, but unfortunately, with the added heat of the atmosphere, she was already a bit out of her mind and subconsciously put the option of refusing out of her mind.

"Just this once. If I see you secretly doing this to Yuhao again, you'll be sorry."

She spat lightly and snatched Xiao Huo from Nan Qiuqiu's hands as if taking over: "First, hold it like I am, then move it up and down a little. It's okay if you use a little force."

"Oh"

Nan Qiuqiu nodded seriously, looking at the scene before her, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Wow, that's amazing, it's gotten even bigger!"

At the same time, in another guest room, Ling Luochen was sitting cross-legged on the bed.

Close your eyes and meditate.

If Nan Qiuqiu were here right now, she would find that the eight spirit rings beneath her had undergone a tremendous change compared to before she entered the Cold Spring.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, red, red, red.

Just a few days ago, the sixth to eighth spirit rings were black in the Heavenly Soul Palace, but now they have turned into a scarlet color symbolizing 100,000 years.

This was Ling Luochen's gain in the Ten Thousand Years of Profound Ice Cave.

After absorbing two pieces of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, enough to nurture a 100,000-year-old soul beast, her mermaid soul spirit has broken through from its original 80,000-year cultivation level to about 170,000 years. Along with this, the quality of her ice element martial soul has also been greatly improved, and she has made great strides on the path of ultimate ice without making a sound.

It's no exaggeration to say that if this mermaid hadn't already become a spirit, her current cultivation level alone would have been enough to make her the next leader of the Karenk clan.

Moreover, this upgrade not only elevated Ling Luochen's three spirit rings to the quality of 100,000 years, but it also secured her ninth spirit ring. Once she reaches level 89 and completes the condensation of her spirit core, she will be able to obtain another 100,000-year spirit ring and advance to the title of Title Douluo.

If there's any regret in this process, it's that she couldn't obtain the corresponding 100,000-year-old soul bone.

Of course, Ling Luochen himself didn't care about these things.

For her, it didn't matter whether she was better than others; she only needed to be better than her arch-rival, Ma Xiaotao.

Before absorbing the Myriad-Year Profound Ice Marrow, she only had a soul spirit with 80,000 years of cultivation. Compared to Ma Xiaotao, who had fused with two 100,000-year immortal herbs, possessed two 100,000-year soul bones, and whose martial soul attributes even surpassed hers, the gap between them was naturally enormous.

But the situation is different now. She now also possesses a 100,000-year soul spirit. Although she doesn't have a soul bone, she has one more 100,000-year soul ring than her opponent. In addition, the quality of their martial souls has narrowed again, and the Winter Aria is about to be updated, which will greatly enhance her. When she advances to the Title Douluo level in the future, her combat power will definitely not be weaker than Ma Xiaotao's.

In this way, she can be considered to have the ability to protect Huo Yuhao from the evil Ma Xiaotao, right?

Just thinking of that gentle-smiling boy made her lips involuntarily curve into a faint smile, as if her body and mind had been healed.

Hmm, I'm starting to miss him. Should I go to his room and check on him?

The moment the idea popped into his mind, Ling Luochen subconsciously rejected it.

Unfortunately, Huo Yuhao's injuries were quite severe, and he needed to rest and recuperate.

If I couldn't control my impulse after seeing him unconscious, I might accidentally cause him further harm.

Besides, the mother and daughter were taking care of him, so she couldn't very well lay a hand on Huo Yuhao in front of them, could she?

Anyway, it'll be her turn tomorrow, so it's not too late to get intimate then.

Filled with excitement, Ling Luochen closed his eyes again and began cultivating with even greater focus.

Most of the energy from the two Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrows was absorbed by the soul spirit, and did not help her improve her cultivation much. She would have to rely on her own efforts to advance to the Title Douluo level.

Only by becoming a Title Douluo as soon as possible can she gain the strength to contend with Ma Xiaotao sooner. Even if it's just a day earlier, it will save Yuhao a day of suffering.

In order to protect Yuhao, she must seize every moment to cultivate!

Two days later.

When Huo Yuhao opened his eyes again, most of his injuries had been healed with the help of the Life Gold, and the stinging pain in his head had also been relieved.

Seemingly sensing the movement, Ling Luochen, who was resting in his arms, immediately sat up, leaned close to him, and asked in a surprised tone.

"You're awake. How are you feeling? Is there anything that's bothering you?"

"I'm much better now... By the way, how long was I unconscious?"

"It's been almost three days."

"yes……"

Looking at the beautiful figure in front of him, he stiffly reached out and hugged her tightly, but the nightmare-like scene he had seen during his brief moment of lucidity uncontrollably surfaced in his mind.

After a moment of silence, he forced a smile and said casually, "Speaking of which, Sister Luo Chen, you've been taking care of me these past few days? Thank you for your hard work."

"It wasn't just me. I was only responsible for taking care of you for the last two days. The first night was taken care of by Senior Nan and her daughter... Oh, by the way."

As if suddenly remembering something, Ling Luochen's face showed a look of realization, and she continued, "I heard that your wounds hadn't fully healed that night, and your clothes and bedding were stained with a lot of blood, so they helped you clean up and changed your clothes."

At this point, she looked at the boy, whose expression was clearly somewhat unnatural: "What happened?"

"No, no, I was just curious because I noticed my clothes had been changed..."

Huo Yuhao coughed twice, waved his hand, and changed the subject.

"Sister Luo Chen, are you alright?"

"I'm fine. My meridians are just a little swollen and painful. Compared to the gains, this injury is nothing."

Seeing that Huo Yuhao's complexion had indeed improved a lot, her expression softened, and she finally asked the question that had been on her mind for a long time.

"But you, to inflict such severe injuries while absorbing the essence, it seems your gains this time must have been quite substantial, right?"
