Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 90 The Two Women Who Schemed Against Xiao Yu

With Dai Heng's death, the night raid came to an end.

The rebel leader, Ferreira, hung his head like a wilted eggplant as he was led away by the soldiers of the Heavenly Dou Empire. The entire camp was filled with the cheers of the Heavenly Dou Empire's soldiers celebrating their victory.

Just then, Ye Lingling rushed over, her face anxious, and said to Xiao Yu, "Brother Xiao Yu, please go check on Sister Huowu! Her condition is not good!"

What!

Xiao Yu's expression changed. He thought that although Huo Wu had been hit by Dai Heng, Dai Heng's primary goal at that time should have been to save Ferreira. Could it be that he killed her with just the first move?

"Take me to see this quickly!"

For a moment, Xiao Yu was extremely anxious. That crazy girl must not be hurt!

Ye Lingling led Xiao Yu through the crowd of prisoners being escorted and arrived at Huowu's tent in the rear camp.

Without thinking twice, Xiao Yu opened the tent flap and strode inside.

Huo Wu was lying on her bed with her eyes closed, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, unable to hide her pain.

"Brother Xiao Yu, I tried my best!"

Ye Lingling closed her eyes and lowered her head, not daring to look at Xiao Yu: "Sister Huowu is seriously injured, and my soul power is still too low."

"Fire Dance, you crazy girl!"

Xiao Yu couldn't help but call out, and rushed to Huo Wu's bedside.

"Cough cough cough, you've arrived!"

Huo Wu opened her eyes with some difficulty and looked at Xiao Yu, who was now very close to her.

"Stop talking, save your energy."

Seeing Huo Wu like this, Xiao Yu felt a lump in his throat for no apparent reason.

To be honest, he didn't really care much for Huo Wu. Even their relationship was only established with Ye Lingling's encouragement. After he and Ye Lingling took that final step, he understood Huo Wu's feelings, but he still harbored a barrier between them, using various excuses to...

On the other hand, Huo Wu left her hometown to come to Nine Star Academy to find him. Over the years, she has stayed in the academy without any regrets. Even though she knew that her status in Xiao Yu's heart was not as high as Ye Lingling's, she still followed Xiao Yu to the battlefield without hesitation.

For a moment, Xiao Yu felt like a bastard. Looking at the delicate beauty in front of him, he was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.

"No, no, I... I'm afraid if I don't speak up now, I'll never have the chance again!"

Huo Wu's breathing became a little rapid. She stretched out her hands towards Xiao Yu and said, "Can you hug me? You've never hugged me before."

"good!"

Xiao Yu said softly, sat on the edge of the bed, and embraced Huo Wu. He brushed the blue hair on Huo Wu's forehead. Seeing how weak Huo Wu, who was usually so carefree, was now, two lines of tears involuntarily rolled down the corners of Xiao Yu's eyes.

Why are you crying?

Huo Wu suddenly chuckled and reached out to wipe away Xiao Yu's tears: "I never thought I'd see you cry again. My life has been worthwhile!"

"Don't talk nonsense, you have a long life ahead of you!"

Xiao Yu grasped Huo Wu's hand, which was resting on his face, and kneaded her delicate palm. He said firmly, "You haven't seen many of my faces yet. I can show you any of them you want to see in the future."

"Then it's a deal!"

Huo Wu didn't break free from Xiao Yu's hand; instead, she began to caress Xiao Yu's face.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu couldn't help but hug Huo Wu even tighter. Huo Wu nestled in Xiao Yu's arms, a happy smile involuntarily appearing on her lips.

The two embraced for a long time. Xiao Yu lowered his head to look at Huo Wu, who just as he did. Their eyes met, and Huo Wu slightly raised her pretty face, pressing her fragrant lips to Xiao Yu's lips.

"Xiao Yu, will you take me?"

After the kiss, Huo Wu rested her head against Xiao Yu's chest and whispered, "I want to be your real woman, just like Ling Ling!"

"Your injuries are so bad, how can you endure this kind of torment? Be good, listen to me, let's heal your injuries first."

Even if Xiao Yu were overcome with lust at this moment, he would never do such a thing to a person who was seriously injured and on the verge of death.

Huo Wu shook her head like a child, "Lingling said my injuries this time were too severe, and she wasn't even confident she could heal me. Lingling's martial soul is now a level higher than the Nine-Hearted Begonia. If even she isn't confident, what hope do I have? Let me be willful just this once before I leave!"

Xiao Yu coaxed her like a child, "Silly girl, although Lingling's martial soul is powerful, her soul power is still low. I have already sent someone to inform the sect and ask Grandpa Ye to come. With his help, you will definitely be fine."

"I don't believe it!"

Huo Wu snorted and pouted, "You're just trying to fool me. You've already been planning to live happily ever after with Ling Ling, and no one will bother you anymore."

"How could that be?"

Xiao Yu gently kissed Huo Wu's forehead. "How could I bear to lie to you!"

"Then swear it!"

Huo Wu lifted her head from Xiao Yu's embrace, looked at him, and said, "Swear on your martial spirit that you will marry me and treat me well in the future!"

"Alright, I swear on my martial spirit!"

As Xiao Yu spoke, he raised his hand, extending four fingers to swear, "From now on, I will definitely marry Miss Huo Wu, treat her well, and make her happy for the rest of her life!"

"You said it yourself!"

Huo Wu suddenly broke free from Xiao Yu excitedly, a smile curving her lips, her face flushed, and her clear eyes sparkling with an undisguised light, showing no trace of her previous weakness.

"Holy crap, are you back from the dead?!"

Xiao Yu was startled for a moment, but then he realized what was happening. He saw that Ye Lingling had somehow retreated to the edge of the tent, and he was immediately furious: "So, Lingling, you actually teamed up with her to deceive me!"

It's no wonder Xiao Yu was fooled. Ye Lingling's usual image was too deceptive. He never expected that Ye Lingling would tell him such a big lie. If Xiao Yu had used his mental power to investigate even slightly, he would have found that Huo Wu's weakness was completely an act.

"I don't care, you swore an oath!"

Huo Wu had already reverted to her usual fiery personality. "If you dare to go back on your word, I'll let the whole continent know that Xiao Yu of the Nine Star Palace has abandoned you after starting something!"

Ye Lingling chuckled and said, "It's no wonder you're so clueless, Brother Xiao Yu! Sister Huo Wu has hinted at it so many times, I'm getting impatient! Brother Xiao Yu, treat Sister Huo Wu well, and I won't bother you two tonight!"

As she spoke, Ye Lingling took two steps back, preparing to leave.

"You still want to leave!"

Xiao Yu channeled his soul power, reached out and pulled Ye Lingling into his arms. "You two conspired to deceive your husband. Today, I'll show you what family discipline is!"

As he spoke, Xiao Yu released another wave of soul power, isolating the entire tent. Immediately afterwards, the tent was filled with the warmth of spring.
