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

Chapter 412 Rong Nianbing: Just wait and see if I don't deal with you! (Two chapters combined)

"come over."

A cold voice rang in the ears of the Demon Soul Great White Shark, causing her to shudder uncontrollably.

Meeting Huo Yuhao's cold gaze from afar, she hesitated for a moment, then slowly swayed her tail and cautiously approached.

As the distance closed, Huo Yuhao seemed to notice the fear in those eyes. His gaze swept over the other person's slightly trembling body, and he couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

"This is really interesting. The leader is dead, yet they still don't think about running away?"

The Demon Soul Great White Shark suddenly shuddered, its mental fluctuations becoming intense: "I... I'm not with those two people."

"Yeah?"

Huo Yuhao didn't seem to want to press the matter further, and continued to ask, "You dared to come here alone? What do you want to do?"

Upon hearing this, the demonic soul great white shark's mental fluctuations paused for a moment: "I came here specifically to see you."

"See me?" Huo Yuhao asked, puzzled.

"Um."

Under his astonished gaze, the Demon Soul Great White Shark cautiously glanced at the Demon Emperor and Blue Buddha, and explained softly.

"After what happened last time, I suspected you might reappear here, so I followed you."

After a brief pause, she solemnly stated her request: "I would like to ask you to take my spirit ring."

"."

Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment. Sensing the strong sorrow in the other party's mental fluctuations, he seemed to understand something. The mockery on his face disappeared visibly, and he asked expressionlessly.

Why?

"Because...because you are the enemy of the sea god, and I think you are very likely to have the ability to defeat him."

Recalling the horrific scene he had witnessed, a hint of sadness flashed in the eyes of the Demon Soul Great White Shark.

"After you left that day, many of my people, including my mother, were killed by the sea god for an absurd reason that I cannot understand. All of this was because my mother offended the sea god without knowing it."

"I also thought about avenging my mother, but as a soul beast, no matter how hard I cultivate, I can never be a match for a god, so I thought of you."

Seemingly understanding her meaning, Huo Yuhao said knowingly, "So you want to use yourself as a price to ask me to help you take revenge?"

"No, I'm not doing this because I want you to promise me any conditions. I just hope that you, who are destined to be enemies with the Sea God, can achieve final victory. Even if it costs me everything, as long as it gives you a little more chance of winning and a little more possibility of killing the other party, it will be worth it for me."

As the loss and sorrow gradually faded, they were replaced by an almost uncontrollable ferocity and murderous intent. She raised her head, and the look in her eyes as she looked at Huo Yuhao was no longer confused, but filled with indescribable resentment.

"So please take them. Soul rings, life force, whether you absorb them yourself or give them to your companions, as long as they can help you defeat the Sea God in the slightest, you can take them from me."

Almost generously offering up everything she possessed, she lowered her head, her voice trembling, and solemnly requested Huo Yuhao's help.

"Please, you absolutely have to win!"

"."

silence.

As if stunned by this scene, not only Huo Yuhao, but also the Demon Emperor and Lan Fuzi beside him were dumbfounded.

After a long while, Huo Yuhao seemed to be hesitant and looked at the two people beside him with a questioning look.

"What are your thoughts, you two?"

If it weren't for these two, he would never have crossed paths with the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan. So even though he had already made up his mind, he was prepared to ask for their opinions first.

The Demon Emperor didn't speak, but looked down at Lan Fuzi. After receiving the reply, "I'll listen to Uncle Huo," she finally met Huo Yuhao's eyes.

"Don't worry about us, you can make your own decision."

"it is good."

Huo Yuhao nodded and looked at the Demon Soul Great White Shark again: "What's your name?"

"Forehead"

Seemingly surprised by his question, the Great White Shark was momentarily bewildered: "I don't have a name, but because I swim very fast, my mother calls me Xiu Xiu."

"Xiuxiu? Fine, that works too."

Although he had an urge to complain, the current atmosphere didn't make Huo Yuhao hesitate too much. After a brief moment of preparation, he met the other person's anxious gaze and slowly shook his head.

"I regret to inform you that because your cultivation level is too weak, even if you become my spirit ring, you won't be of much help. Although I have a way to solve this, considering your racial bloodline and your own attributes, you are actually not suitable to become my spirit ring."

Although ice and water share the same origin, the power of the Demon Soul Great White Shark is not actually closely related to water attributes. This species relies more on physical attributes and the bite force of its massive jaws to fight.

Conversely, the Demon Emperor, whose race is the Deep Sea Demon Whale, is born with the ability to control the surrounding water elements, and its attack methods mainly revolve around this point, making it more suitable for Huo Yuhao's Ice Emperor Martial Soul.

Moreover, even disregarding attributes, in terms of bloodline level alone, the Deep Sea Demon Whale, as the overlord of the ocean, is undoubtedly stronger than the Demon Soul Great White Shark.

"I see."

Seeing that Huo Yuhao didn't need her power, Xiuxiu could only settle for second best and looked at the Demon Emperor and Lan Fuzi beside her.

"So, are you two going to eat me? Although I'm afraid of pain, I can endure it to avenge my mother."

She sounded uneasy as she said this, which was understandable, since being eaten by a deep-sea whale was obviously more painful than losing one's life.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao felt he was about to lose his composure.

Is this guy really that single-minded?

Seemingly confirming that the Demon Soul Great White Shark harbored no hostility, Huo Yuhao raised his hand to rub his temples, and his tone softened somewhat.

"Don't you want to live to see the day I defeat the Sea God?"

".ah?"

After a long pause, she seemed to understand Huo Yuhao's meaning, her eyes flashing with astonishment.

"Don't you want my life?"

Huo Yuhao shook his head: "Like I said, your spirit ring won't improve our chances of winning by much. Compared to taking your life, arranging other things for you will be more helpful to me."

"Oh, what do you want me to do?"

Have you ever heard of spirits?

"What is that?"

".never mind."

Huo Yuhao shook his head helplessly and casually opened a huge portal to the plane of the dead: "I have other things to take care of. You go in and wait. I'll explain to you later."

He asked Xiuxiu for help not for anything else, but for the soul business of the Spirit Pagoda.

Although the popularization of soul spirits has been relatively smooth with the full support of the Beast God Di Tian and various forces, there has been almost no progress in the area of ​​sea soul beasts.

This has caused many Sea Soul Masters to complain, because due to the simulated cultivation environment, most of them live in coastal cities that are extremely far from the Star Dou Great Forest. It takes at least ten days to half a month, and sometimes as long as two or three months to travel there, not to mention that there are no suitable Soul Beasts for them.

One can imagine how terrible those Soul Masters who traveled from afar must have felt.

There are many reasons for this result, but the most important one is undoubtedly the fact that sea spirit beasts generally worship the sea god Tang San.

As Tang San's private repository for collecting faith power, even if the Beast God Di Tian or Gu Yuena, the Soul Beast Princess, were to intervene, it might not be effective. It is precisely for this reason that Huo Yuhao has been slow to expand the Soul Spirit services related to sea soul beasts.

However, not expanding for the time being does not mean that he cannot make preparations in advance. For example, he could try to cultivate a few soul beast overlords like Di Tian, ​​who have enough status in the ocean.

In this respect, perhaps both the Sea Princess and the Demon Emperor possess the aptitude, but one of them has already become his soul spirit, and the other seems to have the same intention, so he has no choice but to look for a new leader for the Sea Soul Beasts.

He had initially planned to train Lijing, the sister of Liya, from the Sea Princess clan to take charge of this matter, but considering that the ocean was too vast and the number of sea spirit beasts living in it was countless, one manager was simply not enough.

But now, Xiuxiu's appearance has resolved his concerns.

Although it cannot compare to those top-tier races, the individual strength of the Demon Soul Great White Shark is still among the best in the entire ocean.

In addition, Bai Xiuxiu is of royal blood among the Great White Sharks. Her current weakness is only due to her low cultivation level. With a little training, she may be able to work with Lijing in the future, with one in charge of the icy sea and the other in charge of the near sea, which can be considered to barely cover the needs of a sea soul master.

Of course, if the two of them working together is not enough, he can also consider having Lan Fuzi join them.

As for the deep sea, which is even further from the mainland, there are no soul masters there who need soul rings, so it's naturally not something Huo Yuhao should worry about.

And so, after obtaining Xiu Xiu's consent, Huo Yuhao directly set up a giant fish tank on the spot, packed her and the surrounding seawater into the plane of the dead, and fed her a ball of ten-thousand-year-old Xuanbing marrow so that she could quickly break through to one hundred thousand years and transform into human form.

After she has studied at the Spirit Pagoda for ten or eight years, gained some understanding of the relevant operations, and become strong enough to protect herself in the ocean, she can officially start working and dedicate herself to Huo Yuhao's career, serving him like a slave.

After settling Xiu Xiu in for the time being, Huo Yuhao had just stepped out of the Netherworld when he heard the Demon Emperor's voice.

"Could you please take Lan Fuzi in as well?"

"Forehead?"

Huo Yuhao was taken aback for a moment, then quickly understood the Demon Emperor's meaning: "Senior, have you made up your mind?"

"Yes, I had already decided to become your spirit, but I was waiting for Lan Fuzi to adapt to the transformation, which is why I didn't come to find you. Now that you've come, let's leave together."

After speaking, the Demon Emperor looked at Lan Fuzi beside him with a lingering affection: "When you get to the human world, remember to behave well, understand?"

"Okay, Mom."

As if knowing what her mother was about to go through, she first raised her hand and hugged the Demon Emperor reluctantly, then turned around and hugged Huo Yuhao's waist.

"Uncle Huo, I'm entrusting my mother to your care."

Why does this sound a little off?

Unaware of the fleeting blush on the Demon Emperor's face, Huo Yuhao stiffly stroked the little head that was nuzzling against him: "Don't worry, I promise I won't let anything happen to your mother."

"Yes, I believe you, Uncle. See you next time."

As Lan Fuzi waved his hand and entered the plane of the dead, the originally noisy sea surface fell into an awkward silence.

When Lan Fuzi was still there, neither of them felt anything was wrong, but with their only means of communication gone, both Huo Yuhao and the Demon Emperor felt inexplicably at a loss, like they were on a blind date.

Fortunately, after a brief silence, the Demon Emperor broke the silence.

"Thank you."

"Um?"

Seeing Huo Yuhao suddenly look over, the Demon Emperor subconsciously looked away and explained in a low voice, "Thank you for saving us twice, and thank you for being so kind to Lan Fuzi."

"Good children always make people want to help them, and she happens to be that type."

Huo Yuhao smiled nonchalantly: "I like her quite a bit too."

The Demon Emperor's eyes flickered, and he continued to press, "So, what's your opinion on what that child said earlier?"

"What we talked about before?" Huo Yuhao asked, puzzled.

"It's that... um... about being her father."

Seemingly finding it difficult to speak, a faint blush appeared on the Demon Emperor's cheeks, and his tone was intermittent.

The latest novel is first published here!

"I can tell that the girl really likes you, so if possible, I hope you can maintain that kind of relationship with me in front of her, allowing her to call you that in private. She'll probably be very happy that way."

".?"

Huo Yuhao felt like his brain was about to shut down.

Having finally grasped the meaning the Demon Emperor was trying to convey, he hesitated and scratched his head.

"That's possible, but wouldn't that be bad for the senior's reputation?"

"Do you think I'd still care about this now that I'm about to become a spirit? I only have two wishes now: one is revenge, and the other is that Lan Fuzi can live a happy life."

The Demon Emperor said this, but his cheeks flushed even more: "But what about your side... does the Snow Empress agree?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao suddenly trembled for no apparent reason, and when he spoke again, he unexpectedly uttered the slightly teasing voice of the Snow Empress.

"It's not impossible for me to agree, but I have one condition: you have to get Lan Fuzi to call me 'Mom' first."

The Demon Emperor was taken aback for a moment, but as she recalled what the Snow Empress had said before she left last time, she nodded in agreement.

"I will talk to Lan Fuzi about this."

Having received an affirmative answer, Xue Di's voice once again echoed in Huo Yuhao's mind.

"That's wonderful, someone has another daughter."

Hearing that sarcastic tone, Huo Yuhao coughed twice, feeling a little guilty.

"Didn't we agree not to mention that matter? Why are you saying 'again'?"

"I said you can't bring it up, not that I can't bring it up on my own initiative."

Uncharacteristically throwing a tantrum, Xue Di teased, "What? You really want to hear me call you that? How about I call you that twice now so you can remember?"

"No, no need."

Huo Yuhao repeatedly refused. In his previous life, it was one thing to call him that, but in this life, they were an old married couple, and the thought of doing this made his scalp tingle.

Humans cannot, or at least should not.

After readjusting his mindset, Huo Yuhao casually tore open a spatial rift and turned his head to look at the Demon Emperor.

"We should go now. As for the matter of the soul, I need your help to make some preparations. Let's talk as we walk."

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

As mentioned before, because all the ice-attribute soul spirits were promoted to priests, his two soul cores were already in a state where they could barely maintain balance.

This means that if he rashly enters into a soul contract with the Demon Emperor, the already uncontrollable Extreme Ice Soul Core will be strengthened again, ultimately breaking the balance.

Huo Yuhao originally planned to put it aside for the time being and try to form a soul contract after going to the Ancestral Dragon. However, Ma Hongjun, who had ignited the Flame of Life and completed the evolution of his own flame origin, gave him a new option.

Since the power of the spirit attribute soul core alone cannot contend with the ultimate ice soul core, why not introduce another power to make it two against one?

This was similar to the situation he encountered when he condensed his third soul core in his previous life. Because the spiritual soul core was exceptionally powerful at that time, in order to prevent the balance from being broken, Huo Yuhao chose to control the two soul cores, Extreme Ice and Space, to fight against it at the same time, which finally achieved a delicate balance.

Now, he will draw on that experience to try a similar method again.

That is, during the process of absorbing Ma Hongjun's flame origin, he performed a soul ritual with the Demon Emperor, using the power of the spiritual attribute soul core and the ultimate fire to forcibly achieve a balance with the ultimate ice in his body.

Undoubtedly, this will be another extremely bold attempt, but if it succeeds, the rewards will be enormous.

After all, Huo Yuhao will undergo a new and more powerful round of ice and fire body tempering during this process, which will not only enhance his strength but also give him more confidence when facing the Ancestor of the Dragons in the future.

Having received the answer, Huo Yuhao said no more, and led the Demon Emperor into the spatial rift, disappearing completely.

……

"Did I... succeed? I don't feel like there's anything particularly different..."

Looking down at herself, who was no different from before, Ye Guyi murmured softly, somewhat confused.

But soon, Bibi Dong's explanation entered her mind.

"Nothing has changed, that's for sure. What you just saw was just the fluctuations caused by the completion of the repair of the angelic divine position. It doesn't mean that you have become a god. If you really want to say something, you have only just become the official successor to the angelic divine position."

"This is just the heir?"

Ye Guyi's face fell: "I thought I was already a god."

"It's not that simple. If my daughter hadn't already perished, you would have faced many more trials and tribulations. However, no one can issue these tasks right now, so you only need to wait until your cultivation reaches level ninety-nine to directly inherit the divine position."

"In other words, you've taken shortcuts to the extreme."

At this point, Bibi Dong couldn't help but glance sideways at the Angelic Holy Sword in Ye Guyi's hand, as if she saw a familiar figure in her, and her eyes inexplicably became dazed.

"Moreover, as Huo Yuhao said, given the situation in the God Realm, becoming an Angel God now may not necessarily be a good thing."

"You mean the realm of gods is in danger?"

Ye Guyi asked in confusion, "Then why don't I just not go to the God Realm?"

"Do you think the gods are fools? Don't think of them as some kind of rule-abiding good guys. They won't let you do whatever you want in the mortal realm under the guise of being a god."

As a victim who had personally experienced it, Bibi Dong couldn't help but curl her lip in disdain, her tone becoming increasingly cold.

"Rules are always a tool used by the upper levels to constrain the lower levels. They bring stability, not fairness, and this is true in both the lower realm and the divine realm."

"So for the sake of stability, they can sometimes follow the rules, but sometimes they can not follow the rules so well."

Ye Guyi frowned: "You mean, once I become a god, they're likely to come knocking on my door?"

"It's not just very likely, it's certain. It's not certain for those gods who don't have divine positions, but the positions of angels are inherently dependent on the divine realm. Once you inherit a divine position, they will definitely sense it."

Bibi Dong sneered, and almost the instant she finished speaking, Ye Xishui beside her suddenly opened her eyes and looked up at the sky.

"The deity you spoke of seems to have arrived."

Bibi Dong didn't speak, but looked up at the sky with a cold gaze. When she saw the familiar middle-aged man, her face immediately turned ferocious.

"...Tang Hao!"

"Long time no see, Bibi Dong. I never imagined that you would still be alive after ten thousand years."

"What, you're surprised I'm still alive?"

As if sensing Tang Hao's barely concealed weakness, she couldn't help but sneer, "Speaking of which, what happened to you? The father of the mighty Sea God, how did you end up looking like you're half-dead?"

"That's not your concern."

Tang Hao clearly didn't want to dwell on this topic any longer, so he turned to look at Ye Guyi and Ye Xishui, his tone conveying a sense of understanding.

"I was wondering how your short-lived daughter could still have the aura of an angel remaining in the world after all these years. So you found an heir? You really are willing to sacrifice."

Bibi Dong's expression suddenly turned cold: "As long as I can get revenge, there's nothing I can't bear to part with."

"Really? But it seems your luck has been bad ever since then, and it's still the same now."

Tang Hao met Bibi Dong's gaze indifferently: "Having encountered me at such a crucial moment, it seems your so-called revenge is going to fall through."

Without further ado, he flashed in front of Bibi Dong and raised his hand to grab her.

"Today marks the complete demise of your Spirit Hall's legacy!"

However, before his palm could even touch Bibi Dong, an indescribable divine pressure descended from the sky, instantly immobilizing him.

"who!?"

Not only Tang Hao, but even Bibi Dong was stunned when she saw this scene.

She hadn't even had a chance to call out to Huo Yuhao yet!

Just then, an unpleasant click of the tongue rang out in the ears of everyone present.

"I've run into this kind of trouble as soon as I descended to the mortal realm. It looks like this mission is going to be quite busy."

Without prior arrangement, everyone instinctively looked up at the sky above, only to be greeted by a blond figure they had never seen before.

Unlike Bibi Dong and the others who were bewildered, Tang Hao's expression changed drastically after seeing that person.

"The God of Emotions!"

This guy's appearance here at this time proves he's indeed in cahoots with the God of Destruction!

Seemingly sensing Tang Hao's somewhat abnormal anger and resentment, Rong Nianbing couldn't help but feel a little bewildered.

No, what kind of look is that?

I'm standing right in front of you, and instead of being scared, you're actually glaring at me like a jerk!?

Why does it seem like I'm the one who did something wrong?!

Damn it, this father is so blatant, daring to be so arrogant in front of him. It seems that Tang San has been secretly causing trouble in the lower realm lately!

I was just thinking of doing this job half-heartedly, but now you'll see if I do it or not!
