Help

"You can't leave yet."

Hearing Xu Xiao's words, Huo Yun'er's delicate body tensed.

Huo Yun'er's mind was already in complete turmoil. A lone man and woman were sharing a room so late at night—she felt that this was inappropriate.

"Is there anything else, Young Master? If not, I intend to go back and rest." There was a hint of firmness in Huo Yun'er's weak voice, as if she were making it clear that she was not that kind of woman.

"If helping you obtain Soul Power doesn't count as something important, then go ahead and leave."

Xu Xiao spoke teasingly.

He had no improper thoughts. He simply felt that since Yu Hao had inherited his mother's martial soul, his mother must possess the Spirit Eye Martial Soul as well. If she cultivated, she could be of help to him in the future.

Huo Yun'er, who had already opened the door and was about to leave, suddenly froze.

"I... I can cultivate too?" Huo Yun'er's heart rose and fell wildly, beating at a frantic pace.

Xu Xiao stepped forward and closed the door for her, then led Huo Yun'er to sit on the long bench. Her mind was in chaos, and she could only let Xu Xiao help her sit down like a wooden puppet.

"That's right. Your martial soul is the Spirit Eye. Although you were not born with Innate Soul Power, I still have a way to solve that."

Helping someone without Innate Soul Power begin cultivating Soul Power was not as simple as it had been in the original work.

In the original work, one either had to cultivate the Mysterious Heaven Skill or consume rare medicinal herbs such as the Ten Thousand Year Ginseng King to obtain Soul Power.

However, those born without Innate Soul Power had been affected by the laws of Douluo Star. Without divine assistance, even if they luckily cultivated to become a Title Douluo...

They would still be unable to reach the God-tier in the end. The influence of the laws within their bodies would remain!

Xu Xiao's method was simple. Back when he had been bored, he had browsed the exchange treasury within the Tower of Myriad Laws. There was a pill that could resolve this problem perfectly, and it could even allow the user to immediately possess Level 1 Innate Soul Power!

"Nirvana Pill."

It contained a trace of the Law of Fire and could help an ordinary person born without Innate Soul Power undergo Nirvana cleansing to the greatest extent, burning away the residual influence of planar laws.

The moment he took out the pill, the temperature inside the thatched hut rose sharply. Xu Xiao swiftly used Extreme Fire to protect the hut and Huo Yun'er.

Then Xu Xiao took out another pill.

"Heart Protection Pill."

A pill meant to be used with the Nirvana Pill. Even an ordinary person without Soul Power would not have their life endangered by the Nirvana Pill's Law of Fire after taking it.

"Have you made up your mind? Will you embark on the path of a Soul Master, or remain an ordinary mother who can only watch Yu Hao drift farther and farther away from you?"

Xu Xiao saw Huo Yun'er's hesitation and continued, "Yu Hao has the potential to become a god in the future. On this continent, his lifespan will be limitless, but with the God Realm gone, he cannot change your lifespan."

Huo Yun'er did not look at the pills. She merely listened attentively.

"The martial soul you possess determines that you are no ordinary person. If you become a Soul Master in the future, perhaps you can keep up with Yu Hao's footsteps..."

"But I'm already thirty. I've missed the best age for cultivation. Young Master, don't waste the pills on me. Save them for Yu Hao." Huo Yun'er spoke rationally.

"This pill can help one undergo Nirvana and rebuild their foundation. After taking it, your body's vitality will reach its peak. Age will no longer be a problem."

Xu Xiao spoke eloquently. "As for Yu Hao, you need not worry. He is my only disciple. There are plenty of pills. Now, tell me your decision!"

Thinking of every moment she had shared with Yu Hao in the Duke's Mansion, Huo Yun'er nodded heavily.

I need to change this woman's weak temperament. The thought flashed through Xu Xiao's mind. He first had Huo Yun'er take the Heart Protection Pill, then gave her the Nirvana Pill after it took effect.

After seeing Huo Yun'er sit cross-legged on the long bench, Xu Xiao also passed the Crimson Wheel Meditation Technique on to her.

Inside the thatched hut, under Xu Xiao's control, the Sun Martial Soul was displayed for Huo Yun'er to meditate upon. Meditating while undergoing Nirvana would produce better results.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Huo Yun'er suddenly burst into flames. Her clothes and hair were instantly burned away.

Yet she did not feel the slightest pain. Instead, her closed eyes revealed an expression of extreme enjoyment.

"Mm... ah... mmh..." Huo Yun'er's moans rang out as the flames within her body continuously burned away impurities accumulated over many years and rebuilt her meridians.

Unlike others, the Nirvana Pill Xu Xiao had given her would not cause pain. Instead, it brought an intensely pleasurable sensation of complete physical and mental relaxation.

Not caring whether Snow Empress and the others might misunderstand, Xu Xiao felt it was necessary to remain here and assist Huo Yun'er with his martial soul. Even though she was completely naked now, her still-charming body was fully displayed before him.

After silently reciting several times that he was her child's master and could not entertain improper thoughts, Xu Xiao closed his eyes.

Outside in the courtyard, Huo Yuhao did not immediately return to his room. Instead, he studied the meditation diagram Xu Xiao had given him and began cultivating.

When he heard what sounded like Huo Yun'er's moans beside his ear, Yu Hao merely assumed it was a test from his master, because the sound was coming from his master's room.

Yu Hao felt that his teacher treated him so well that he surely would not do anything improper. Besides, his teacher had so many beautiful women around him—how could he possibly be interested in his mother, a woman who had already borne a child?

Holding firm to his heart and directly blocking out the pleasant sound, Yu Hao began cultivating seriously.

Sizzle!

The Law of Fire burned away the final trace of planar law within Huo Yun'er's body. From then on, she was qualified to embark upon the path of godhood as well!

There was no legendary foul smell from cleansing the meridians and marrow inside the thatched hut. Those things had long since been incinerated by the Law of Fire. Instead, a fresh fragrance drifted from Huo Yun'er's body.

Her newly grown hair was even softer and more beautiful. When her lovely eyes gently opened, it was as though every beautiful star in the universe could be seen within them.

Before Huo Yun'er could rejoice, she felt that something was missing from her body. She discovered that she was naked—and Xu Xiao was still there...

"Young... Young Master, do you have any spare clothes?"

Without opening his eyes, Xu Xiao sent over an extra blue long dress he had bought for Snow Empress from his Storage Ring.

Neither of them spoke. Within the thatched hut, only the sound of Huo Yun'er getting dressed was especially clear in the quiet night...

The next day

Xu Xiao came before Yu Hao, who was still cultivating the meditation technique. "You've cultivated the meditation technique for an entire night. Now let your master take a look at your martial soul."

Seeing that his master wanted to inspect the results of his cultivation, Yu Hao said happily, "Master, after cultivating the meditation technique last night, I felt that my martial soul received nourishment like never before!"

"You, don't get so excited. This is only the beginning. Your Innate Soul Power has now risen to Level 2. Once it reaches Innate Full Soul Power, you won't need to cultivate this meditation technique so often anymore."

Xu Xiao smiled at the child. Tang San, that idiot, had treated people like slaves. What a waste of talent.

God Realm

Several days had already passed. Tang San searched like a madman for every trace of the Douluo Continent's existence.

Yet he could never find it. The ominous feeling in his heart grew heavier and heavier. Who exactly took away the Douluo Plane under this God King's surveillance!

Sea God's Power raged and vented mercilessly, only calming down again after a while. "This news can no longer be suppressed. I can only convene the God Realm Committee!"
