Her pretty eyes gradually turned red only after she left through the Soul Dueling Arenaâs main gate. Tears began to well up in her eyes as the thought of what had just transpired spun around in her head continuously. Even though she didnât know exactly what had happened, she had interacted with Wang Qiuâer many times, and Wang Qiuâerâs ice-cold personality gave everyone a strong and lasting impression. However, Wang Qiuâer was nowhere near as cold and indifferent then, and that was especially so when she screamed those last words. Wang Dongâer felt as if there was a heavy hammer pounding on her chest.
Yuhao, youâŠ
Tears trickled down her cheeks soundlessly, and Wang Dongâer picked up her pace as she hugged Huo Yuhaoâs legs tightly. She didnât want her companions to see her fragile side. No matter how much faith she had in Huo Yuhao, she had seen everything with her own eyes, and it would only mean he wasnât in her heart if she still didnât have any ill-feelings about this. It was only because he meant too much to her that her heartache was so intense.
A girlâs thoughts would be vastly different from a guy once her thoughts started getting into a blind alley. Wang Dongâer felt as if it wasnât impossible that Huo Yuhao had feelings for Wang Qiuâer. In the end, Wang Qiuâer looked more like the Goddess of Light than she did, and Wang Qiuâer wasnât inferior to her in terms of looks, figure, or abilities. Wang Dongâer didnât have any advantage over Wang Qiuâer except for the time that she had spent together with him.
Wang Dongâer deeply believed that Huo Yuhao liked her. However, that didnât mean he couldnât like someone else at the same time? Her second uncle had remarked before that men were generally capable of generous affection. But, but I canât accept that! I have to be the only person in my loverâs heart...
She began to sob even more uncontrollably as she continued to think in this direction. There was no way she could accept sharing a lover with someone else. Huo Yuhao was still unconscious, or, if he had known what Wang Dongâer was thinking, he would have told her exasperatedly, âMy dear, youâre thinking too much.â
Wang Dongâer carried Huo Yuhao all the way back to the Sea Godâs Pavilion before she placed him down on the bed. She took his outer clothes off and helped him wipe his face, and took care of him so that he could sleep more comfortably.
Wang Dongâer took a chair and sat silently beside him. Her tears were no longer flowing, but her expression was still as dark as ever, and the image of Huo Yuhao interacting with Wang Qiuâer echoed continuously in her mind.
Wang Dongâerâs heart became increasingly confused and disorganized the more she thought about it, because she was sure that Wang Qiuâer looked at Huo Yuhao drastically differently from how she looked at other people. Even though her eyes couldnât be described as passionate, at least they werenât as cold as they usually were.
She thought back to when she had found them inside the Great Star Dou Forest, and when Wang Qiuâer was lying on Huo Yuhaoâs thigh. Did they develop true feelings for each other through suffering? She hadnât thought much about it then because she chose to trust him. But what about today? What did Wang Qiuâer mean when she exclaimed like that? Why did Huo Yuhao choose to conceal them by releasing his domain once more? What happened between them when he did that?
Wang Dongâerâs face became paler as she continued to think. At this moment, Huo Yuhao was completely submerged within his spiritual world.
---
What a brutal kick! I just wanted to save her! Huo Yuhaoâs thoughts were full of exasperation and frustration.
He didnât sleep for too long after fainting. However, he was unable to directly control his body when he woke up, and he realized to his surprise that his consciousness had entered his spiritual sea.
His spiritual seaâs vastness was far greater than before, his boundless spiritual sea torrential as tidal waves surged around it, while dense spiritual power undulations circulated like currents.
He had also showed mercy when he fought Wang Qiuâer. Otherwise, the outcome would have been entirely different if he had used his Eye of Destiny with all his controlling abilities at the beginning.
He didnât know when he could truly wake up. Qiuâer, Qiuâer! Why did you have to shout like that? Your scream will bring me great trouble.
Huo Yuhao didnât know that Wang Dongâer was thinking in all the wrong directions, but he was absolutely certain that everyone would misunderstand because of her exclamation. More importantly, he actually did touch somewhere that he wasnât supposed to touch, and he couldnât blame Wang Qiuâer for that.
âIâve been wronged!â Huo Yuhao shouted at the top of his lungs within his spiritual sea.
He really hadnât meant for that to happen. He had felt immense pressure from her, as Wang Qiuâer was the strongest person he had ever faced among others of the same age. Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi were also powerful, but their strength was very different from Wang Qiuâerâs style.
Wang Qiuâer was the kind to achieve victory with a single strike, just like when he battled Ji Juechen. How different could the two of them be? The reason why she was terrifying was because of her explosive power. The frightening offensive force generated from the collision after her explosive attack made Huo Yuhao numb just thinking about it. This wasnât a sensation that Bei Bei or Xu Sanshi could give him!
He didnât know what Wang Qiuâerâs attitude toward him was like during this battle. She had saved him at the last minute inside the Great Star Dou Forest, and Huo Yuhao couldnât develop any negative thoughts about her no matter what happened, as she had saved his life. This was the reason he decided to grind her down with his domain, so that neither of them would be hurt no matter who emerged victorious.
He had never expected Wang Qiuâer to erupt in that fashion, and that instance of explosive anger made Huo Yuhao feel as if his life was in danger.
It was instinctive for him to give everything he had under such circumstances, and he never thought that he would accidentally touch Wang Qiuâerâs heart with his Snowless Glacier. This was a bitter misunderstanding.
The Snowless Glacier was extremely powerful once it took effect on Huo Yuhaoâs target. If Huo Yuhao hadnât saved her, Wang Qiuâer would have been done for. He had had no choice but to save her, and he couldnât waste a single second. So, he had saved her, but the deed brought great trouble upon himself. But what other choice did he have? Wang Qiuâerâs flying kick made Huo Yuhao feel so aggrieved, and the real reason why he fainted was because of what she had shouted. There was almost no way for him to remedy this misunderstanding.
âHow am I going to explain this to Dongâer?â Huo Yuhao stared at the vast spiritual sea before him with a bitter look on his face.
He really didnât know what to say. Do I have to tell Wang Dongâer the truth, that I touched Wang Qiuâer somewhere I really shouldnât have? In that case, wouldnât Dongâer be infuriated? However, how else do I explain it if I donât tell her the truth?
âWhat outrageous acts have you committed now, you rascal? Why do you look so despondent?â a lazy voice suddenly rang out from all directions at that moment.
Huo Yuhaoâs melancholic frown immediately froze when he heard this voice. In the next moment, an indescribable elation erupted from his eyes. âBrother Skydream, brother Skydream! Where are you?â
He leapt to his feet, and controlled his consciousness to form a body as he flew into the space above his spiritual sea. He didnât care about anything else as he shouted as loudly as he could.
Yes! That lazy voice belonged to the Skydream Iceworm.
Skydream and Iceworm and the Ice Empress had been hibernating ever since the Snow Empress entered the state of polarity that day, sending Huo Yuhaoâs spiritual sea into turmoil, and forcing Electrolux to burn his own divine sense to save the others. A long time had passed since then, and he hadnât heard anything from either of them.
Huo Yuhao had attempted to awaken them countless times. However, he couldnât feel the Ice Empress and Skydream Icewormâs auras inside his spiritual sea anymore. His initial despondence and sorrow immediately vanished when he heard Skydreamâs voice at this moment. Skydream was not just a friend and a companion to him, the Iceworm was also his savior, and he wouldnât be here today if he hadnât merged with the Skydream Iceworm back then. His martial soul had become increasingly powerful with Skydreamâs help, and he had obtained four million-year soul skills and a second martial soul, which allowed him to merge with both the Ice Empress and the Snow Empress afterward. The reason why Electroluxâs divine sense entered his mind was also because Huo Yuhaoâs fusion with the Skydream Iceworm had produced intense spiritual undulations which had attracted his remnant.
Skydreamâs position in Huo Yuhaoâs heart was extremely high and respected. He truly treated Skydream like his own brother. Skydream had truly changed his destiny, even though the Iceworm was just a little too lazy.
âHehe. Iâm still alive. Why are you crying?â Skydreamâs voice was tinged with deep emotions. Specks of golden light gradually rose up from Huo Yuhaoâs spiritual sea immediately afterwards, and combined to form Skydreamâs frame once more. However, the golden halo around his body had completely vanished.
Huo Yuhao only realized that the face that he had conjured with his consciousness was flowing with tears when Skydream mentioned it.
Huo Yuhao flew up before the Skydream Iceworm in a flash, and opened his arms wide before hugging the pudgy body while he leaned forcefully against the immense but soft frame.
âBrother Skydream, teacher Electrolux hasâŠâ Huo Yuhao began to bawl when he thought about all the unfortunate things that had happened.
Skydream heaved a faint sigh and said, âI know. Electrolux is truly a human that deserves our respect. Both the Ice Empress and I thought he was going to draw upon our strength to complete that ritual back then, but who could expect that he actually immolated himself in the end? He was the one that saved us allâŠâ
Skydream Iceworm also began to lament and sigh with despair and regret at this point.
Huo Yuhao sobbed for a quite a long while before he recovered. He raised his head and said, âHow have you been, brother Skydream? You should be fine by now. The halo around your bodyâŠâ
A human face appeared on Skydreamâs head, and he made a human-like expression of exasperation. âIâve fused completely with you. Even though my spiritual origin is still sealed away, itâs been completely submerged into your spiritual sea. This body is all that I have left, and this is only a projection of my consciousness. More accurately put, I am only a guest taking up residence in your body at this point, and you can chase me out anytime you want if you wish it. Of course, that also means itâs over for me if that happens.â
Huo Yuhao replied angrily, âCan you not make hypothetical speculations? That will never happen!â
