Chapter 334 My sister is in your hands now!
Huo Wu was unaware of the envy and jealousy in her brother Huo Wushuang's heart.
After chatting with him for a while, she turned her gaze back to Ye Qifeng's handsome face.
Looking back.
The moment Huo Wu met Ye Qifeng's gaze, her face flushed instantly, her small hands nervously resting on her bulging chest, and her heart pounding wildly.
She was just about to say something.
At this moment, Ye Qifeng suddenly made a gentle swipe with his left hand, taking out a magical herb that was entirely silver-blue and emitted a faint blue light. He handed it to her and said softly:
"Here, Huo Wu, take this herb first."
"what?"
Huo Wu was slightly taken aback, and asked in surprise, "What is this?"
Ye Qifeng smiled and, instead of immediately telling her what it was, said gently:
"Eat first, then I'll tell you."
Seeing the smile on Ye Qifeng's face, Huo Wu's eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she had thought of something.
She hadn't forgotten that Ye Qifeng had once said he would give her a gift the next time they met.
Could this be the gift he's going to give himself?
Huo Wu's gaze shifted, landing on the herbs in Ye Qifeng's hand. Her heart was instantly filled with warmth and surprise, and her expression gradually became shy.
Although she didn't know what kind of herbs Ye Qifeng was handing her, she still subconsciously reached out and took them.
The moment the herbs landed in her jade-like hand, Huo Wu froze, her shyness suddenly replaced by intense curiosity.
She discovered that when the silver-blue herb landed in her hand, the faint blue light emanating from it fell on her body, which gave her a jolt of energy and cleared her mind. Her mental depletion caused by excessive cultivation was actually starting to recover.
In that instant, Huo Wu immediately realized that this must be a miraculous medicine that could repair mental damage.
Looking at Huo Wu's slightly changing expression, Ye Qifeng knew that she had probably guessed the effects of the herbs he had given her.
That's right, it's a herb that can uplift the spirit, repair spiritual deficiencies, and restore the spirit to its full potential.
However, its grade is only top-grade medicinal herb, not celestial medicinal herb, and its function is relatively simple, only effective for damaged spirit.
Huo Wu's spirit was weakened due to excessive training, and this top-grade herb was just right for her to take to restore her spirit.
After all, there was still a divine herb waiting for her to consume, a gift that Ye Qifeng had promised to give her a long time ago.
Before returning to Wuhun City, he made a special trip to the Blazing Fire Academy in Blazing Fire City for this very reason.
If Mai Shiranui isn't in high spirits or in good condition, that won't do.
Ye Qifeng wouldn't let her risk taking that celestial herb; it would be dangerous.
So we need to restore her mental state first.
As his thoughts raced, seeing the growing emotion and affection in Huo Wu's eyes, Ye Qifeng looked at her, pointed to the flat boulder by the hot spring lake, and said softly:
"Go to the boulder where you just cultivated, and then consume this herb to refine and absorb its medicinal power."
Upon hearing this, Huo Wu turned her gaze away from the silver-blue herb in her hand, looked up at Ye Qifeng, her pretty face flushed, and nodded gently:
"Okay, sure."
However, after saying this, Huo Wu didn't immediately turn back to the flat boulder where she had been cultivating. Instead, she stepped forward, wrapped her arms around Ye Qifeng's, gently bit her lower lip, and looked at him with tender affection, as if afraid he would sneak away again, and said:
"But I want you to stay with me. You're not allowed to sneak away."
Meeting Huo Wu's dark red eyes, brimming with emotion, Ye Qifeng was slightly taken aback. After a moment's hesitation, he gently patted her cold little hand and softly said to her:
"Don't worry, I won't leave. I'll stay with you."
"Even if I have to leave, I will definitely let you know in advance. It won't be like last time, I promise!"
As he spoke, Ye Qifeng raised his hand, making a gesture as if swearing an oath to the heavens, his expression serious, earnest, and sincere.
Huo Wu gazed intently at Ye Qifeng, who was earnestly making his promise. She looked at him deeply, somewhat stunned, but her heart was warmed and she was very happy. The affection in her eyes deepened.
"Okay, okay, I believe you!"
After a moment, Huo Wu narrowed her bright eyes and chuckled.
As she finished speaking, she reached out and pulled Ye Qifeng's sworn hand down. Then, her face flushed, her head slightly lowered, and she said in a weak voice:
"Can you take me upstairs?"
"it is good."
Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Qifeng agreed, then embraced Huo Wu's soft waist. With light steps, two afterimages appeared behind him, carrying Huo Wu as they gently floated onto the flat boulder by the hot spring lake.
then.
Following Ye Qifeng's instructions, Huo Wu sat cross-legged on the flat boulder, gracefully and gently consuming the silver-blue herbs in small bites. Then, she closed her eyes, meditating to refine and absorb the medicinal power, restoring her spirit.
Ye Qifeng stood quietly by her side, watching Huo Wu's exquisite and beautiful face, which revealed a hint of fatigue and weariness, and couldn't help but feel a little sorry for her.
Fortunately, after taking the Silver Blue Herb and beginning to refine and absorb it, Huo Wu's depleted spirit began to recover, and the fatigue and weariness on her face were visibly fading away.
Ye Qifeng's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally relaxed.
……
Below, Huo Wushuang stood still, looking at his younger sister Huo Wu, who was dressed in a wine-red dress and looked beautiful and clear, and Ye Qifeng, who was tall and handsome in a black outfit, standing on the flat boulder. He suddenly felt that the two of them were really a good match.
At the same time, he also felt that he was somewhat superfluous standing there.
At this moment, Huo Wushuang really wanted to turn around and leave, leaving this warm and beautiful scene for the two of them.
However, after thinking about it, he decided to stay. Like Ye Qifeng and Huo Wu, he leaped onto the flat boulder and came to Ye Qifeng's side.
Huo Wushuang was somewhat suspicious of the herb that Ye Qifeng had given to his younger sister, Huo Wu.
Although he didn't believe Ye Qifeng would harm his sister, he felt it was better to keep an eye on her together, in case anything happened to her.
Furthermore, he wanted to ask Ye Qifeng what exactly that herb was, what its effects were, and whether it would harm his sister Huo Wu.
Furthermore, what brings Ye Qifeng to Blazing Fire Academy this time? Is it really just to visit his younger sister, Huo Wu? Could there be some other purpose?
After all, Ye Qifeng's identity is not simple.
Previously, he was only concerned with bringing Ye Qifeng to his sister's side, relieving her lovesickness, and helping her return to normal, so he didn't think too much about it.
Now that I have some time and have calmed down, I have a good chance to ask and sound out what they think.
After a friendly conversation with his father, Huo Hong, Huo Wushuang had roughly guessed that Ye Qifeng was a talented young man from the Spirit Hall, a prodigy with exceptional abilities.
Moreover, his position within the Spirit Hall must be quite high.
Since Ye Qifeng left without saying goodbye last time, the Spirit Hall of Blazing Fire City suddenly became somewhat strange. They secretly investigated and collected information about Blazing Fire City, Blazing Fire Academy, and their Huo Clan, especially about Huo Wu, the younger sister.
The Huo family, as the controllers of Blazing Fire City and Blazing Fire Academy, naturally became aware of the unusual activities of the Spirit Hall in Blazing Fire City.
When they first learned that the Spirit Hall was gathering intelligence, Huo Hong and his son Huo Wushuang, as well as the rest of the Huo family in power, were quite frightened, fearing that the Spirit Hall had ill intentions and might suddenly attack them.
After all, the Spirit Hall is the most powerful spirit master force in the Douluo Continent today, without exception.
Although Blazing City enjoys a great reputation on the continent, it is no match for the Spirit Hall.
Although Blazing City possesses independent rights and can control and recruit Soul Masters, nominally, the Soul Masters and resources of Blazing City still belong to the Heaven Dou Empire and are not under the jurisdiction of the Spirit Hall.
If we really want to be precise, the relationship between Blazing Fire City and the Spirit Hall can actually be described as competition and hostility.
Once the Spirit Hall decides to deal with Blazing Fire City, Blazing Fire City alone will not be able to withstand the torrent of Spirit Masters from the Spirit Hall.
After noticing the unusual actions of the Spirit Hall, Huo Hong, who was the city lord of Blazing Fire City, the dean of Blazing Fire Academy, and the head of the Huo Clan, had already prepared to discuss and unite with the Shui Clan of Tianshui City and the Feng Clan of Shenfeng City to resist the invasion of the Spirit Hall.
After all, the three elemental cities are truly interdependent, and their fates are interdependent.
As for the other two cities, Elephant Armor City and Thunder City, Huo Hong didn't even consider them.
In his eyes, neither of these two Elemental Cities—one a loyal lackey of the Spirit Hall, the other a subordinate force of the Blue Dot Tyrannosaurus Clan, one of the three upper sects—were any good.
It would be good enough if they didn't kick us while we were down, so how could we possibly be on their side and fight against the Spirit Hall?
However, what was unexpected and strange was...
Although the Spirit Hall has increased its efforts in investigating and gathering intelligence on Blazing City, Blazing Academy, and even the Fire Clan, it does not seem to show any hostility whatsoever.
On the contrary, the relationship between Blazing City and the Spirit Hall has become increasingly closer, with more exchanges and cooperation between them.
Moreover, in their exchanges and cooperation with the Spirit Hall, Blazing Fire City often receives considerable benefits from the Spirit Hall, making a fortune.
The reason for this is that the Spirit Hall often takes the initiative to make concessions.
Even the resident bishop of the Spirit Hall in Blazing Fire City would visit Huo Hong at the city lord's mansion every few days, taking the initiative to befriend him, which left Huo Hong feeling quite bewildered.
However, the resident bishop kept repeating the same phrase in his words: "Brother Huo Hong, you have a wonderful daughter!"
This did serve as a reminder to Huo Hong.
He then realized what was happening.
The unusual changes at the Spirit Hall were actually related to his beloved daughter, Huo Wu.
Then I thought of Ye Qifeng, who stole my daughter's heart, and the titled Douluo who secretly followed him.
They finally realized that the force behind Ye Qifeng was the Spirit Hall, the most powerful force in the Douluo Continent, far ahead of the rest.
Having understood the reasons for all these changes, Huo Hong was both amused and exasperated, his feelings a mix of emotions. But he finally relaxed, and the idea of the three parties—Chi Huo, Tian Shui, and Shen Feng—joining forces to resist the Spirit Hall was put on hold.
Of course, we should still be wary of Ye Qifeng and the Spirit Hall.
Because Huo Wu never told her father Huo Hong and brother Huo Wushuang about Ye Qifeng's true identity, they were unaware that Ye Qifeng was the current Holy Son of the Spirit Hall.
However, Huo Hong had some guesses based on many clues, but he still had doubts and was not quite sure.
Huo Wushuang learned the truth from her father, Huo Hong, and also learned that Ye Qifeng was from the Spirit Hall.
……
When Huo Wushuang arrived at the flat boulder, Ye Qifeng turned his head slightly, glanced at him, and seeing his hesitant expression, asked:
"Brother Wushuang, do you have something to say?"
Huo Wushuang realized what was happening, frowned slightly, and asked:
"I'd like to ask you, Brother Ye, about that herb from earlier..."
"Oh, that's a top-grade medicinal herb, specially used to repair deficiencies. I saw that Huo Wu's mental state wasn't good and she was somewhat deficient, so I took it out and let her take it first."
Upon hearing Huo Wushuang's question, Ye Qifeng gave a brief introduction.
Seeing that Huo Wushuang still had a furrowed brow, he added:
"Brother Wushuang, you can rest assured. That herb will only benefit Huowu, and will not cause any harm. It is not dangerous and will not have any side effects."
"It's actually a top-grade herb for repairing mental depletion?"
Huo Wushuang paused for a moment, then relaxed his brow and gave Ye Qifeng a deep look:
"You're so thoughtful."
Looking at Huo Wu, who was sitting cross-legged, silently meditating and refining the medicinal power, Huo Wushuang sighed, patted Ye Qifeng's shoulder twice, and said in a low voice with a hint of inexplicable meaning:
"Brother Ye, from now on... I'm entrusting my sister to you!"
Ye Qifeng was stunned for a moment, then realized the meaning behind Huo Wushuang's words. He hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at him:
"Brother Wushuang, are you really that comfortable entrusting Huowu to me?"
Huo Wushuang was slightly taken aback, then laughed heartily and said:
"Haha, the fact that you asked this question shows that I didn't misjudge you. But to be honest, I don't actually trust you, I trust my sister."
Ye Qifeng looked puzzled.
A glint flashed in Huo Wu's eyes, as if he had thought of something. A smile appeared on his face. He first glanced at Huo Wu, then looked at Ye Qifeng, before continuing in a leisurely tone:
"You don't know, my sister Huo Wu is not only more talented than me, her brother, but she also has a much better eye for talent. Anyone who catches her eye must have something special about them."
"Therefore, I have always highly respected and trusted my younger sister Huo Wu's judgment."
"Besides, my sister has very high standards. Ordinary people simply cannot catch her eye, let alone gain her favor."
"Little did they know, even that simpleton Feng Xiaotian, with his innate full soul power, couldn't... cough cough, never mind, let's not talk about him."
Huo Wushuang coughed twice and continued:
"The fact that you were able to win my sister's heart means that you must have some merits that I don't know about but my sister knows very well."
"Is that so?" Hearing Huo Wushuang's words, Ye Qifeng suddenly felt a little embarrassed and ashamed.
He didn't know about any advantages or disadvantages, but he did have some secrets that were unknown to others.
Regardless of what Ye Qifeng was thinking, Huo Wushuang patted him on the shoulder again and said earnestly:
"Well, Brother Ye, for some reasons, my sister Huo Wu's personality... well, she's a little proud, a little domineering, and a little bossy. You might have to be a little more lenient with her then."
"However, judging from how my sister treats you, I suppose you don't need to worry about these things."
At this point, Huo Wushuang suddenly felt that what he was about to say seemed somewhat superfluous.
Given his younger sister Huo Wu's behavior in front of Ye Qifeng—that gentle, weak, and tender-hearted demeanor—why should he worry about her or say anything more?
Why can't the younger sister be a little bit gentler towards her own brother, just like she is towards Ye Qifeng?
Thinking of this, Huo Wushuang was filled with jealousy, and her eyes were filled with resentment as she looked at Ye Qifeng.
