Chapter 125 Me Too
On the shore of Poseidon Lake, in a small pavilion.
Both Niu Tian and Titan knelt on one knee, facing the silver-haired woman sitting in the pavilion, their expressions respectful.
"My lord."
Gu Yuena remained seated, her expression calm, making it impossible to discern her inner thoughts.
"You two are quite something. Since you came back from up there, you haven't returned to the Star Dou Great Forest even once. It seems you really consider yourselves members of the God Realm."
Upon hearing this, Niu Tian quickly raised his head, a rare look of panic appearing in his blue eyes.
"We dare not, we will always remember our identity as soul beasts."
Unlike sea spirit beasts, land spirit beasts are born entirely thanks to the legacy of the dragon race.
Not to mention that the Star Dou Great Forest was able to thrive and grow into the largest soul beast forest on the continent because of the influence of the Silver Dragon King's divine power.
Although Niu Tian and Titan hadn't spent much time in the God Realm, they could clearly sense just how immense the God Realm Committee's suppression of divine beasts truly was.
Even the two of them couldn't stray too far from the territory controlled by Tang San, or reveal their true forms in the God Realm, lest they be killed by some passing deity.
Therefore, when they learned that Tang San wanted them to return to Douluo Continent, Niu Tian and Titan were actually quite happy. At least they wouldn't have to suffer those awful things in the God Realm, and they could have near-immortality in Douluo Continent.
"Don't you dare?" Gu Yuena's voice remained calm. "Then if I need the two of you to provide me with information about the divine realm, and even, if necessary, betray that sea god, would you be willing?"
Niu Tian and Titan exchanged a glance. Niu Tian's lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he hesitated to speak.
Titan, who is always outspoken, spoke directly:
"My lord, we brothers have been providing you with information about the divine realm, and we have naturally shared everything we know without reservation. But if I may be so bold as to ask, do you still harbor any intention of attacking the divine realm?"
As he spoke, Titan's face also showed bitterness.
It is precisely because they have been to the realm of gods that they can truly know just how powerful the realm of gods is today.
The vacancies in the divine positions caused by the great war that swept across the entire divine realm have now been almost completely filled.
The positions of beast deities are not only limited to a maximum of level two, but most beasts do not even have a deity position.
Without a divine position, their absorption rate of divine energy is only one-tenth that of deities who possess divine positions.
Not to mention that back then, the Dragon God led many beast gods, but all of them ended in failure. Even if the Silver Dragon King recovers from his injuries, how much chance does he have against the current divine realm?
A slight misstep could lead to the complete extinction of the entire soul beast race.
Gu Yuena sighed softly, "Hatred, as long as we remember it, will continue until death. I think even the remaining divine beasts in the divine realm still harbor hostility towards those gods."
Neither Niu Tian nor Titan refuted this point.
It's not just the divine beasts in the divine realm; don't the beasts in the mortal realm also hate the divine realm?
In the many planes controlled by the God Realm, no matter what kind of beast it is or what level it has cultivated to, it will be suppressed under the God Realm and will never be able to find any path to the God Realm. In the end, it can only perish under the heavenly tribulation.
Even so, relying solely on the current power of the soul beasts, it is nothing but a pipe dream to fight against the God Realm.
Although they were extremely loyal to the Soul Beast race, they were not blindly loyal and naturally wanted to persuade the Soul Beast Lord.
Gu Yuena seemed to see through what they were thinking and continued, "I know what you two are thinking, but I can tell you in advance."
"We may not have much conflict with the other gods in the divine realm, but a battle with that sea god is inevitable sooner or later."
She seemed to recall some information that Huo Yuhao had told her beforehand, and a sneer appeared on her face.
"That girl named Wang Dong'er usually calls you two 'Big Uncle' and 'Second Uncle,' right? But that makes sense, given your current cultivation levels, you probably can't see the problem with her."
"My lord, what do you mean by this?"
Upon hearing that this matter not only concerned Tang San but also affected Wang Dong'er, Niu Tian and Titan both showed anxious expressions.
Ultimately, the relationship between the two brothers and Tang San was entirely due to Sister Xiao Wu.
If it weren't for Sister Xiao Wu, they would never have chosen to sacrifice themselves for Tang San.
But Wang Dong'er, being Xiao Wu's child, was treated as their own, just like their own biological child.
Simply put, Tang San can get into trouble, but Wang Dong'er absolutely cannot.
"If you've made your choice, go to the Star Dou Great Forest and find Di Tian. He will tell you what you need to know." With that, Gu Yuena tore open a space and left the place.
She did not choose to reveal too much information to Niu Tian and Titan.
Even if Niu Tian and Titan still choose to submit to Tang San, she will forcibly control these two time bombs, even at the risk of being discovered by the God Realm.
She would not allow anything to exist that threatened Huo Yuhao's life.
Niu Tian and Titan remained kneeling on one knee.
Titan's Adam's apple bobbed, and he spoke in a slightly hoarse voice, "Big brother, are we going to the Star Dou Great Forest?"
Niu Tian patted Titan's head impatiently and said in a loud voice:
"Having stayed in the God Realm for a while, you really think you're a god? As a soul beast, you can't forget your roots, and this matter is related to Xiaodong. To put it bluntly, I don't care whether Tang San lives or dies. As long as Sister Xiaowu and Xiaodong are safe and sound, that's more important than anything else."
Titan grinned and then quickly chimed in, "Big brother, me too."
As dense soul power emanated from the two individuals, space was torn apart.
Niu Tian and Titan, who had stood up again, also stepped into it and disappeared.
……
Han Ruoruo was not in a good mood.
After entering Shrek Academy a long time ago, the pressure of cultivating as a Soul Master, as well as the supervisory missions related to graduation, had brought her a considerable psychological burden.
For her, the only way to relieve this pressure is through her lifelong hobby: reading.
But the more you read, the more you realize the limits of reading, or rather, the unstoppable slide into the abyss.
Simply put, ordinary emotional needs can no longer satisfy her.
Even in recent months, whenever I pick up a book I've treasured for a long time, I find myself unable to concentrate on reading it, and the image of my junior schoolmate flashes through my mind from time to time.
Although Han Ruoruo is well-read, her view on love is still simple to the point of being pure: finding someone she loves and who loves her to spend the rest of her life with is enough.
As for young boys and such.
Although Han Ruoruo used to joke around with Wu Ming, it was at most a plus for her, really.
But what about the junior students?
Han Ruoruo stopped and looked up at the familiar pavilion in front of her.
Over the past few months, she has only been able to meet her junior schoolmate with Ming'er; otherwise, she would feel ashamed if she were alone with him.
After revealing her hidden side to her junior, what kind of image will she have in his mind?
If it weren't for Ming'er's accident back then, how could she and her junior brother be so entangled now, as if they were bound together by a golden rope?
Han Ruoruo sighed softly, "This is a tragic fate, isn't it?"
She stared at the attic for a long time, thinking to herself, "My junior should be back at the academy soon. I'd better clean the attic for him. I wonder where that little girl Ming'er has run off to again."
Thinking it over, Han Ruoruo stepped forward, skillfully took out the pre-made key from her pocket, opened the attic door, and then stepped inside.
They stared at each other, and the air suddenly seemed to freeze.
Han Ruoruo stared intently at the boy who was carrying a bathtub and walking towards the bathroom.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao's lower body was simply wrapped in a bath towel, and his well-defined, sculpted upper body muscles were exposed to the air without any cover, and were also exposed to Han Ruoruo's gaze.
Han Ruoruo subconsciously swallowed. After just one holiday, the boy who was once somewhat immature in her eyes and whom she treated as a little brother now seemed to have become a little man.
Hearing the somewhat obvious sound of swallowing saliva, Huo Yuhao suddenly felt a sense of fear.
If it were any other woman, apart from Gu Yuena, even the most daring Xiao Tao Jie, upon seeing this situation, would probably instinctively cover her eyes, pretend to be very shy, and immediately urge him to put on his clothes.
But Ruoruo's appearance was undisguised, revealing a cool and aloof demeanor that seemed intent on studying her.
As expected, Sister Ruoruo was the most dangerous to me, and her danger was even more so insidious.
Often, by the time you realize it, you may already be bound into various positions by the golden rope.
As expected of the top controller in the inner courtyard, he is terrifyingly powerful.
Huo Yuhao scratched his head somewhat awkwardly and said in a low voice, "Um, Sister Ruoruo, I'm going to take a shower first. If there's anything else, we can talk about it later?"
Hearing the emotional fluctuations in Huo Yuhao's words, Han Ruoruo's eyes also became unfocused, as if she belatedly realized that she had been staring at him for a little too long.
She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and said casually, "You don't need to worry about me. I don't have anything particularly important to do. Go take a shower first. I'll tidy up your room for you; it's been almost a month since anyone lived there, and it's probably covered in dust."
Huo Yuhao's body involuntarily stiffened.
Whether it was the key Han Ruoruo had just taken out, or the fact that she had just returned to the academy and the other party just happened to run into her.
Although he didn't want to doubt anything, so many coincidences coming together must mean something was wrong.
……
Looking at the newly renovated living room, and the cup of tea on the coffee table, steaming with wisps of smoke.
Huo Yuhao had to admit that Wu Ming had once told him that whoever married Sister Ruoruo would truly be blessed with good fortune.
"Junior, wait a moment, have some tea first, lunch will be ready soon."
Han Ruoruo seemed to hear Huo Yuhao coming out of the bathroom, and her voice hurriedly came from the kitchen.
"Sister Ruoruo, may I come in and help you?"
Upon hearing Han Ruoruo's voice, Huo Yuhao also asked in the direction of the kitchen.
"What are you doing in here? Taking a shower at this hour? I bet you're going to meet someone this afternoon. It wouldn't look good if you smelled of cooking oil on you."
Han Ruoruo walked out of the kitchen carrying bowls and chopsticks, a gentle smile on her face.
"Besides, as your senior, how could I let you, my junior, get tired? That would be too much of a burden."
Before long, Huo Yuhao finished the lunch prepared by Han Ruoruo herself, a meal filled with her senior's heartfelt care.
However, he found it difficult to cope with Han Ruoruo's constant staring during the meal.
Huo Yuhao took a sip of his post-meal tea, then took out an exquisite jade box from his storage soul tool and handed it to Han Ruoruo.
"Sister Ruoruo, I was planning to come find you this afternoon. Since you're here now, I can hand this over to you personally."
"Is it a local specialty from your hometown?"
Han Ruoruo accepted it with a smile, not paying much attention to it.
After each holiday, Wu Ming would always bring her back a lot of strange local specialties.
As she spoke, she casually opened the jade box.
A rich aura of primordial energy emanated from the jade box.
Inside the jade box were several pure white leaves, with a faint shimmering light flowing across them.
Han Ruoruo almost instinctively closed the jade box again and handed it back to Huo Yuhao.
"Junior, this is too valuable, I can't accept it."
Although she didn't know exactly what kind of rare treasure it was, just smelling its aroma made her feel her soul power subtly stirred, which showed just how precious it was.
She was unworthy to accept such a valuable gift.
Han Ruoruo always believed that her relationship with her junior was completely innocent.
Even about the last incident, she always felt that it was just a performance to save Wu Ming and shouldn't be taken seriously.
Han Ruoruo sometimes even regrets that she was so willing to risk everything for Wu Ming. She should have just let that heartless girl stay in bed for the rest of her life.
After all, it was only Wu Ming who would occasionally nag her about random things, which only annoyed her.
In the days that followed, the two of them tacitly avoided mentioning that incident during their time together.
