Douluo Continent: The Spirit-Eyed Detective Huo Yuhao

"A separation of life and death," Tianmeng Ice Silkworm sighed.

"Yes, it's really touching," Huo Yuhao agreed.

"What are you saying!" Hyotei glared at them.

"Hehe, I mean, Bingbing, you don't need to do this at all. Just because Xue Di is human doesn't mean she can't become a god like us by following Yu Hao." Tianmeng Bingcan said, leaning closer.

"What do you mean?" Hyotei didn't understand.

"Ice Emperor, you still haven't figured things out. According to the original method, if you want Snow Empress to become a god, you just need to take her soul into my body before she dies. She can do this whether she becomes human or not, as long as her soul is still there," Huo Yuhao explained.

"But we need to achieve initial fusion first. Humans don't have spirit rings. How can we fuse them into a smart spirit ring after transforming into a human?" Ice Emperor was still puzzled.

"Hehe, Bingbing, look at Old Man Yi and say it again, what do you mean humans don't have spirit rings?" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm pointed at Ilex.

"Haha, Ice Emperor, have you forgotten? Beast Taming Contracts can be signed between humans. Although it's strange, it's indeed feasible. Elder Yi is an example," Huo Yuhao laughed.

“That means…” Hyotei’s eyes lit up as she met Yuki’s gaze, “She can live! Yuki, she can live!”

"I wasn't necessarily going to die anyway..." Xue Di chuckled, but didn't reject the suggestion. "I can sign that contract with you after I transform into a human."

"With the power of the Snow Emperor merging with yours, Yuhao, your ultimate ice technique can also advance further, right?" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said happily.

"Well, if the Snow Empress transforms into a human and forms a contract with me, I can also act as her guardian during her growth period. Soul beasts that transform into humans will grow up from infancy, right? Or we can send her to the orphanage I set up specifically for this purpose. In addition to taking in orphans, it also takes in transformed soul beasts," Huo Yuhao said.

Xue Di didn't think much of it: "I'll stay with you, so I can be closer to Bing'er."

"Raising a Snow Empress... Little Snow Empress... Hehe..." Without worries, Hyotei began to daydream to herself.

………………

"Are you sure... you want to pick this?" Even Huo Yuhao was taken aback by what he saw.

"Is that not okay?" Vina tilted her head; she actually quite liked it.

"It's not that it's impossible..." Huo Yuhao didn't know what to say.

They saw Vina holding a large ice sculpture in front of them, inside which was a humanoid monster with a blue face, fangs, and white fur.

"No, how did you find this thing?" Huo Yuhao was also surprised that Vina could find such a thing among that pile of rare and precious materials.

Did she really dig up a caveman?

"I thought it looked peculiar frozen there, so I chose it," Vina said timidly, though her taste in choosing things was clearly not as timid as her personality suggested.

"That's really strange... Snow Empress, you have this in your treasure vault?" Huo Yuhao looked at Snow Empress, wondering if she knew that she had this frozen in her treasure vault.

"I don't remember much... It seems like I encountered it shortly after I was born. It looked so scary that I froze it." Xue Di frowned and pondered. That was a very distant memory.

"That's at least 600,000 years ago..." Huo Yuhao said, feeling embarrassed.

However, it makes sense; since there is a Yuki-onna (snow woman), there is nothing strange about having a "Yuki-onna" (snow man).

Or should we call him a caveman? Or Bigfoot?

To be honest, he really wanted it.

But since he had already promised to give it to someone, he naturally wouldn't break his promise.

"Take this if you want it." Huo Yuhao asked the Snow Maiden to use the snowstorm to send her and the snow monster back.

As for what she does to the Yeti afterward, that's up to her.

"Then, let's begin the human transformation ritual." Huo Yuhao began preparing some auxiliary magic arrays to aid in the transformation, following the transformation method of soul beasts.

"Let's get to work, let's get to work." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm took out all the prepared materials from its storage soul tool.

"Hehehe, this old man will also lend a hand." Electrox stroked his beard and appeared.

As Xue Di watched the busy group, a warmth inexplicably welled up in her cold heart, a feeling she hadn't experienced in a long time.

"Snow Empress, don't worry, with their help, your transformation will be absolutely foolproof." Ice Empress had full confidence in her talented companions, and after saying that, she went over to help out.

………………

"Yes, Snow Empress, bring out the Snow Lotus." Huo Yuhao commanded. The Transformation Array had been completed, and the four of them stood at the four corners of the array as protectors, surrounding the Snow Empress in the center.

“We’ve studied the secrets of soul beast transformation. Although each soul beast is different, they are all roughly the same. I referenced several of the best ones and then improved upon them to create the current formation. Snow Empress, you’ve memorized it all,” Huo Yuhao reminded her.

Each soul beast's bloodline contains some secret techniques, one of which is the transformation technique. Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, Ice Emperor, and Snow Emperor all possess this.

The best method of transformation was the one Huo Yuhao had seen in the memories of the auspicious beast. The auspicious beast's transformation technique was indeed much more advanced than that of other soul beasts.

"I have memorized it all." The Snow Empress nodded, then slightly parted her embroidered lips, and a pure white snow lotus flew out.

As the snow lotus, which had been growing for 100,000 years, bloomed, Huo Yuhao activated the magic array, and the Snow Empress began to draw upon the power of the snow lotus to seal herself.

Chapter 97 Little Snow Emperor

Within the transformation array, the Snow Emperor's 700,000 years of cultivation was rapidly compressed, her aura gradually weakened, and condensed into a ball of light.

"Speaking of which, since all we need to do to become gods is form a contract with Yuhao and hide our souls in his sea of ​​consciousness, wouldn't we be able to bring as many people as we want to ascend? Yuhao's sea of ​​consciousness is quite large," Tianmeng Bingcan suggested.

"Haha, how about I pack all the souls of the entire Douluo Continent into my body and take them up there? Just thinking about it is hilarious." Huo Yuhao suddenly had another whimsical idea.

"Leaving aside whether Yuhao can handle it mentally, do you really think the God Realm would allow so many people to be brought here?" Bingdi thought this idea was too crazy.

"It's alright. If he doesn't allow it, we'll go ourselves, or I'll create a new divine realm myself," Huo Yuhao said confidently, always speaking with an air of unquestionable certainty.

"Creating a new divine realm? Is that really possible?" Hyotei asked incredulously.

"Why not? If there's one, there will be two. If something exists in the world, it can definitely be created. Since there's already a God Realm, there can be a second and a third. Apart from life itself, nothing is unique," Huo Yuhao said matter-of-factly.

Maintaining the magic array was quite tedious, and time passed little by little as the group chatted idly.

At the center of the magic circle, the Snow Empress's previously agitated soul power fluctuations finally stabilized.

"It's done." Huo Yuhao, who was sitting in the eastern position of the magic circle, opened his eyes.

"The transformation of the soul beast is truly like the birth of a new life." Sitting in the western position, Ilex sensed that the originally naturally born elf had indeed transformed into a different life form.

"Will it be a boy or a girl?" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm in the south watched expectantly as the light at the center of the magic circle dissipated.

"Of course, Xue Di is the female ball." Huo Yuhao reacted quickly, rushing to catch the snow-white, perfectly round ball the moment the light faded.

"Why is it a ball?!" Hyotei exclaimed in surprise, clutching his head.

"Perhaps... the Snow Empress was oviparous..." Huo Yuhao put an exquisite silk swaddle on the ball that the Snow Empress had transformed into. This was prepared well in advance, and he had thought very carefully about the delivery.

"It's hatched!"

In Huo Yuhao's arms, Xue Di's egg cracked open, and a delicate white arm emerged from it.

With a slight effort of her forearm, she easily tore the eggshell apart, and an extremely cute little baby was born.

With short, slightly wavy, silver-white hair, a jelly-like pink face, and sky-blue eyes that exude ultimate purity, her tiny teeth crunch and chew as she swallows her own eggshell, she doesn't look like a newborn baby at all.

"You're so cute, hahaha, I'll take responsibility for raising you to be a great person!" Huo Yuhao laughed loudly while holding the child.

"Go ahead and cry! Crying is a child's privilege, hehehe!" Tianmeng pretended to be fierce. It was rare to see Xue Di looking so weak.

“You two, don’t move around. Holding a baby is something the elders should do.” Electrolux squeezed in as well.

"You three..." Hyotei immediately rushed over angrily and snatched the little Yukito away.

"Don't scare the children!"

“This is Xue Di, not an ordinary child,” Tianmeng said.

“No, she should just be an ordinary child now. Xue Di hasn’t awakened her original consciousness yet.” Huo Yuhao shook his head.

Little Yuki-tei babbled in Hyotei's arms, patting Hyotei's chest.

"How could this happen? Did the transformation fail?" Hyotei asked worriedly.

"No, it should be said that her transformation was very successful. She is currently in the early stages of human development, and her body is not yet fully developed, so her intelligence and memories are not yet activated. They will gradually awaken as she grows up naturally," Huo Yuhao explained.

"Then this is the real Little Snow Emperor!" Hyotei's eyes lit up as she lifted the little Snow Emperor with both hands. The soft, cuddly snow baby made her tremble uncontrollably. "What's going on? It's just too adorable, this little bundle of flesh..."

"You just called Xue Di 'this lump of flesh,' didn't you?" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said speechlessly.

"Why is she taking pictures of me?" Hyotei asked, puzzled.

"Could it be that they're hungry?" Tianmeng said. "What do human children eat?"

"Haha, I was prepared for this too." Huo Yuhao took out a baby bottle from his storage device. "Snow milk, a specialty of the snow mountain, let's feed her this."

Xue Di grabbed the milk bottle and started drinking it down.

"It's quiet now," Hyotei said.

"Haha, drink up, drink up! After you finish drinking, cry and laugh as much as you want, and grow up as fast as you can!" Huo Yuhao laughed.

………………

It was already the second day after we returned to the snow country.

The Shrek crew is gathered together to watch the figure skating competition.

In the audience, Huo Yuhao found Wang Dong pushing a stroller.

"Wow, what an adorable baby!" Wang Dong exclaimed excitedly as she saw the stroller Huo Yuhao was pushing and noticed the little Xue Di inside.

"Where did this child come from?" Wang Dong asked curiously.

"She was just born," Huo Yuhao said.

"Do you think I'm uneducated?" Wang Dong rolled her eyes. Under Huo Yuhao's guidance, she had become quite well-read.

She's smarter than ever before!

"It's a soul beast in human form. I plan to adopt it. I'll register it when I get back to Shrek City," Huo Yuhao said honestly. It wasn't something he needed to hide.

Although transformed spirit beasts were easily targeted by spirit masters who wanted to steal their spirit bones in the past, now that Shrek Academy has officially protected them, there are not many who dare to make such a move.

Moreover, with Healthy Mu En on the surface and him and his beast tamers on the shadows, there are truly few who can match him on the Douluo Continent.

"A transformed soul beast!" Wang Dong was startled, but then relaxed again when he saw the soft and fluffy little Snow Empress. "Even if she is a transformed soul beast, she is too cute. I really want to rub her face hard."

"Yuhao, it's okay." Wang Dong picked up Xiaoxuedi and suddenly said this.

"?"

"If it's such an adorable little one, I can totally accept it. Let's raise them together in the future."

"..."
