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

Chapter 419 Rong Nianbing: No, which of us is the god of emotions?

"You're not thinking about something weird again, are you?"

Noticing Gu Yuena's somewhat strange gaze, Huo Yuhao's heart tightened, and he looked suspicious.

Gu Yuena did not answer, but casually changed the subject.

"While you were unconscious, I went to take a look at the center of the Jingyang Mountains."

"Oh?"

Huo Yuhao paused for a moment, seemingly intrigued, and asked with a hint of curiosity, "Did you find anything?"

"Found a poor fellow."

"Poor guy?" Huo Yuhao asked, puzzled.

"Um"

Gu Yuena nodded, seemingly pondering how to describe it, and remained silent for a while before continuing to explain.

"To put it simply, the progenitor of the dragons is actually still alive."

"Alive?"

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but be taken aback: "According to the legend, wasn't he killed by the Dragon God?"

"He did indeed die at the hands of the Dragon God, but it was his physical body that died. The current Ancestor of the Dragons still retains a wisp of his divine soul in that broken body."

"."

After hearing Gu Yuena's description, Huo Yuhao subconsciously looked at Ning Rongrong, who was chatting with Ah Yin in the distance: "Just like her?"

Ning Rongrong's physical body had already died from his sword wound to the throat. The reason she was able to move now was only because her soul was forcibly activated.

Although this state is not impossible to revive, it is indeed difficult to achieve with the resources Huo Yuhao currently possesses. He can only wait until he ascends to the God Realm to find a solution.

However, Gu Yuena simply shook her head, rejecting Huo Yuhao's idea.

"It's hard to explain with words alone; you'd better come with me to see for yourself."

"Okay, let's go now."

Filled with curiosity, Huo Yuhao followed Gu Yuena out of the Netherworld. But as soon as they appeared, they seemed to sense something and looked out at the closed door at the same time.

"You noticed it so quickly? Your senses are quite sharp. It seems this trip to the mortal realm won't be so boring after all."

As if sensing they had been discovered, a soft laugh suddenly came from outside the door: "I'll be waiting in the pavilion outside. Would you two be willing to come out and meet me?"

"Be careful, this guy is very strong."

Gu Yuena's expression was more solemn than ever before; she had never been this nervous, not even when facing Oscar.

However, Huo Yuhao looked puzzled after hearing the voice. He hesitated for a while before taking Gu Yuena's hand.

"I know this person. Let's go outside first."

As he spoke, he pushed open the door to Gu Yuena's astonished gaze.

Subconsciously looking towards the pavilion, Huo Yuhao indeed saw the God of Emotions, Rong Nianbing, who was leisurely sipping tea from a teacup he had somehow acquired.

To his surprise, another familiar figure was found bound hand and foot beside Rong Nianbing.

Why is Tang Hao here too?

And judging from his aura and complexion, could this guy have been beaten by Rong Nianbing?

But I don't see any injuries on his body.

Could it be that Rong Nianbing is so cunning that he deliberately targets those places where injuries are not easily visible?

Even if we take a step back, the relationship between this person and Tang San in their previous life wasn't that bad, right? What exactly happened in this life that made Rong Nianbing want to beat up that person's father?

Huo Yuhao was dumbfounded, but Rong Nianbing was also dumbfounded.

The moment he saw Huo Yuhao, he felt an indescribable sense of familiarity wash over him.

He quickly identified the source of the familiarity.

That was the lingering aura of one's own emotional sanctuary.

Although that aura was extremely faint, who was he? How could the God of Emotions mistake his own aura?

But that's precisely why he was even more shocked.

No, buddy?

Wasn't this position of the God of Emotions something I created myself?!

Where did you get that aura from?!

Don't tell me this shrine was originally a male and a female, and that it loses its power when it sees you.

Who knows what he went through these past two days? First, he sensed an extremely intense divine battle aura from the Sun Moon Empire. But when he arrived, he was shocked to find that the battle was over, and one of the sides actually had that damned Tang San's Asura God aura.

Confused, he asked passersby in the city and learned that it was Tang San's companion, the God of Food, Oscar.

Before he could even be shocked that a mere second-level deity could possess the power of the Asura God, he then learned that the God of Food had actually lost to a human who was not even twenty years old.

This kind of story, which would seem absurd even to a three-year-old in the divine realm, actually happened.

He continued to investigate and learned that the human who killed Oscar was apparently the same person who murdered Ning Rongrong. After thinking it over, he decided to come to the palace to meet the real person.

You wouldn't believe it until you come here; I never expected there to be such a master here!

He swallowed back the mention of the Nine-Colored Goddess that was about to slip out, and turned to ask about the matter he was most concerned about.

"Friend, could you tell me why you possess the aura of an emotional deity?"

"I have met the god of emotions."

Turning his gaze away from Tang Hao, Huo Yuhao looked at Rong Nianbing again: "This question is my secret. Before I've determined whether you're friend or foe, I'm afraid I can't answer it. Perhaps you could go back and ask Tang San; he might be able to give you the answer?"

"Is this a test?"

Rong Nianbing smiled and pointed to Tang Hao, whose face was gloomy beside her: "Since you know Tang San, you must also know the one tied up next to me. Besides, I've already confirmed that you are the murderer of the Nine-Colored Goddess, but I haven't made a move. Doesn't that prove my sincerity?"

Huo Yuhao shook his head: "This only proves that you know how to respect people, and it does not represent your stance. However, if you really want to know, I am willing to use this secret as an exchange for something you have."

"Oh?"

Rong Nianbing raised an eyebrow: "Tell me? What do you want from me?"

Huo Yuhao didn't speak, but instead turned his gaze back to Tang Hao, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Although it's unclear how Tang Hao was beaten to such a state by Rong Nianbing, there's no doubt that the other party's descent to the mortal realm was aimed at him.

Since that's the case, exchanging a secret that Tang San from the God Realm has already guessed for the life of someone else's father isn't such a bad deal.

However, Rong Nianbing shook his head.

"That won't do. I came down to the mortal realm on a mission, and I'm counting on capturing this guy to complete my task. I can't hand him over to you."

"Really? That's a shame."

As if he had anticipated this, Huo Yuhao was not too disappointed. He had only asked casually and thought that if it didn't work out, so be it.

Since he's already killed quite a few people, it doesn't matter if Tang Hao keeps him around to kill next time.

Seeing that Huo Yuhao was unwilling to talk about it, Rong Nianbing had no choice but to change the subject again.

"Since you're unwilling to talk about my affairs, shouldn't you at least explain the matter of the Nine-Colored Goddess and the God of Food? Why did you kill them both?"

Huo Yuhao blinked.

"Would you believe what I say?"

"That's hard to say. Just like you're unsure whether I'm friend or foe, I need to be sure you're trustworthy before I'll consider believing what you say. But that doesn't stop you from telling me now, does it?"

"In exchange, I want to know your purpose in descending to the mortal realm."

Huo Yuhao met Rong Nianbing's gaze and asked, word by word, "After all, you seem to have different goals than the others."

"You little rascal, you really don't want to suffer even the slightest loss."

Seeing Huo Yuhao still haggling over the price, Rong Nianbing's face darkened. Especially when he thought about how he had been forced to come to the mortal realm to do such a miserable job, he rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"To put it simply, I was commissioned by the highest authority in the divine realm to descend to the mortal world to investigate the matter of the Nine-Colored Goddess. However, it seems that these authorities all have their own ulterior motives, and I am merely a tool being used by them in the middle."

If it were just Tang Hao, he wouldn't have thought much of it, but when he discovered that the God of Food was also in the Douluo Continent, he understood everything.

After all, with so many gods descending to the mortal realm at this critical juncture, how could the God of Destruction not notice?

But that guy pretended to be unaware and let it go, wasn't he just trying to use his neutrality as an excuse to trip up Tang San's companions?

No wonder that arrogant god didn't even give him time to finish cooking, and urged him to descend to the mortal realm in a hurry. It turns out that if he was too late, he would lose his opponent's leverage!

"So, in order to get revenge on them for using me, I've decided to remain neutral. I will definitely investigate the Nine-Colored Goddess incident, but whether or not I arrest you depends entirely on whether I believe what you're about to say."

After explaining her thoughts in one breath via telepathy, Rong Nianbing asked calmly.

"Do you understand my explanation?"

"Understood, now it's my turn to speak."

Huo Yuhao nodded slightly and quickly recounted his experiences in Qiankun Wenqing Valley.

Of course, he would never say that Ning Rongrong was still alive.

Otherwise, if Rong Nianbing wanted to take it away, an unnecessary conflict might break out between the two sides.

After listening, Rong Nianbing couldn't help but frown, scrutinizing Huo Yuhao with a somewhat critical look.

"To be honest, I can't judge the truthfulness of your words at the moment. You may even be mixing truth with falsehood, deliberately concealing some important information in your story. I need time to determine these things."

Huo Yuhao neither confirmed nor denied the allegations, nor did he offer any explanation for his actions.

"So, what does Your Excellency wish to do?"

Rong Nianbing was silent for a moment, then suddenly looked up at the two of them.

"What are you trying to do?"

"Find treasures to enhance your abilities."

"I see."

Rong Nianbing stroked her chin, then suddenly grinned and said, "Then I'll come along too."

".Forehead?"

Seeing Huo Yuhao's astonished expression, the corners of his mouth curved upwards even further.

"To know whether you are trustworthy, it is best to observe you up close. After all, even if you are faking it, I can still see the clues from some small details."

"Perhaps I can use this opportunity to find the secret of the aura of the god of emotions within you. Oh, and as compensation, if you encounter any danger, I will also lend a helping hand when necessary."
