Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 600 Fiery Apricot Blossoms (Daily 10,000 words)

"What happened to you just now?"

Youyou couldn't help but feel a little shy. Having her body seen naked, even though she was just a plant, it still felt a bit strange!

Huo Yuhao chuckled at this moment, "I don't know, senior. Isn't this part of your test?"

Upon hearing this, Youyou felt a little embarrassed. Her branches swayed, and after a long pause, she finally spoke, "Yes, yes, this is also part of the assessment. How was it? Not bad, right?"

Huo Yuhao's lips twitched slightly when he saw Youyou's eagerness to flatter him. Although her cultivation was considerable, this vain habit...

Then, Huo Yuhao changed the subject: "Youyou, if I hadn't refused to take the herbal medicine and had left with Dong'er, what would you have done?"

Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin sighed and said, "Look, why are you so clever? Asking such a question is so hurtful! If that's the case, it just proves that you're not meant to be."

"If people like that find out about our place, how could they not spread the word? Although we believe we have a strong ability to protect ourselves, there are just too many of you humans. I don't know if we can protect our home."

"According to that person, we can handle things ourselves. If you have the ability to break out, you should be able to leave."

A complex smile appeared on Huo Yuhao's face. Youyou only felt that Huo Yuhao was really happy, but she failed to notice the mockery in Huo Yuhao's eyes.

For ten thousand years, a full ten thousand years, not a single word of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, which was supposed to be obtained by those destined for it, was spread. The world only knew that the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye was the place of transformation for Tang San, the Sea God, and the first generation of Shrek Seven Devils. They believed the other party's nonsense that it was obtained by those destined for it, but they never found a single immortal plant.

If it weren't for the fact that even the so-called "Sea God" couldn't move the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, it's estimated that the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, and even the entire Sunset Great Forest, would have been taken to the God Realm by the other side, who had taken it three feet off the ground.

I wonder how many people have been truly fortunate enough to enter the Eye of Ice and Fire in these ten thousand years.

Regardless of how many there were, the outcome was clear: their good fortune not only failed to help them, but actually killed them.

This treasure trove, where countless celestial plants grow, has become their burial ground. They themselves have become fertilizer that makes these celestial plants grow stronger and more beautiful.

If he hadn't kept his mental detection active the whole time, memorized the contents of that book, and fearlessly accepted Youyou's test, they would probably already be facing a full-scale attack from the numerous plant-spirit beasts surrounding the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Putting everything else aside, the existence of a 100,000-year-old immortal herb like the Fragrant Silk Fairy is enough to give them a run for their money.

Huo Yuhao's expression was calm. The further enhancement of his spiritual sea made his mind clearer, and he was not surprised by Youyou's answer.

Huo Yuhao even harbored a slight regret. If those plant-type soul beasts in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well had actually dared to turn against them and attack, Huo Yuhao would have made these so-called immortal beings experience the despicable nature of ninjas.

Huo Yuhao's expression remained unchanged, but he sighed and said, "It seems that opportunity and danger truly go hand in hand. Well then, Youyou, I probably don't need to thank you. I want to know what the next test will be? What test will I need to pass to obtain that book?"

The fragrant and elegant fairy snorted and said, "You should still thank me. Look how well the 'Longing for You' I chose for you is a perfect match!"

"Although the 'Longing for Autumn Water Dew' isn't the best of the immortal herbs here, it's still considered a divine herb, and one of the most suitable for you among all the herbs here, and also the easiest to absorb. And it didn't make you suffer at all!"

Huo Yuhao knew that it was better to go along with a creature like Youyou than to confront it directly, so he said, "Alright, thank you. Now you can tell me what you want to test me with."

The Fragrant Fairy said with satisfaction, "That's more like it. The test just now has proven that your character is indeed trustworthy. Now, it's time to test your strength."

"If you're not strong enough, you won't be able to protect this book even if you get it. Right? So, according to that person, you have to demonstrate sufficient strength."

"With this formidable strength, you must now confront spirit beasts that will truly test you. And in those confrontations..."

"Wait. Can you get to the point?"

Huo Yuhao had to interrupt Youxiang Qiluo Immortal; this guy was just too long-winded. If he kept going like this, he'd probably be dizzy by the time he got to the conclusion.

Huo Yuhao even had a sudden thought: what would happen if Ji Juechen were left here?

One is mute, the other a chatterbox; they're truly a pair that everyone hates.

One was focused solely on swordsmanship, finding the other's incessant chatter like three hundred ducks quacking incessantly; the other, after talking for a long time without getting any response, complained that the other's mouth was just an ornament.

Gee tut.

The fragrant fairy snorted and said, "It's so rare to have someone to talk to, and you won't even let me say more? Have you no humanity?! Fine, I'll choose a powerful one for you then. Ah Jiao, Ah Jiao, are you there? If you are, please answer!"

Gillian Chung?

Huo Yuhao immediately became alert. If he wasn't mistaken, that Ajiao was the one who had been hiding behind the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Item and controlling the red lake water.

"Gillian, Gillian, please answer, please answer. Otherwise, I might start harassing you!"

As she spoke, the numerous petals of the Fragrant Silk Fairy Item began to flutter again, causing streaks of white light to surge in the white lake water. These light condensed into ice flowers in the air, instantly forming an array that faced the shore in the center of the red lake.

"You're so annoying! You chatterbox. You're disturbing my sleep again."

A disgruntled voice rang out. It was also a female voice, but it sounded much clearer and brighter. It lacked the gentleness of Youyou's voice, but had a more spirited and vigorous quality.

A red light also appeared on the shore of the red lake in the distance, and Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er both noticed the presence of the large flower that was also making a sound.

It was a plant that was entirely fiery red. It looked like a flower, but not quite. It was quite tall, nearly ten feet high, and the diameter of its flower opening was only slightly smaller than that of the Fragrant Fairy Flower.

This celestial plant is shaped like a cabbage. Its body looks as if it were carved from a ruby. The moment its light shone, the temperature in the valley seemed to rise several degrees.

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er both had extremely strong resistance, but even so, they still felt the hot wind blowing in their faces and unconsciously gathered their soul power to resist it.
