A Real Man
When Huo Yuhao woke up, he smelled a sweet aroma, a scent he often encountered in the White Tiger Duke's Mansion. Those despicable servants would deliberately eat delicious food in front of him and his mother, while they suffered hunger and thirst inside.
This was perhaps the only pleasure those servants had; that's how humans build their happiness on the suffering of others.
Huo Yuhao feared that this was just a beautiful dream. He had not escaped the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, nor did he have a teacher who loved him dearly. After all, Yu Xiaogang was a person from ten thousand years ago in his mother's words. How could he possibly appear ten thousand years later?
However, when Huo Yuhao looked down at his pure blue, shoulder-length hair and his fair, delicate hands, he couldn't tell at all that they were hands that often did odd jobs.
Huo Yuhao finally believed that this was not a dream. He and his mother had finally escaped the demonic White Tiger Duke's Mansion. Now, he gripped the sheets tightly with both hands, and glistening tears dripped onto the white sheets, leaving flower-like watermarks.
Since it wasn't all a hallucination, those despicable fellows from the White Tiger Duke's Mansion! You better wash your necks and wait! I'll repay them a hundredfold, a thousandfold for the pain I inflicted on my mother and me! After Huo Yuhao grows stronger with his teacher, he plans to find that man and demand an explanation: what are he and his mother to him? Insignificant people? If only he had gone home back then, none of this would have happened.
No matter what his mother did, Huo Yuhao would never forgive that heartless man. Every time he saw his mother being bullied by servants, her hands turning white and bleeding from washing the clothes of the lowest servants, he would feel remorse.
His anger grew even stronger. Just as Huo Yuhao was lost in the past, his mother's gentle voice came from outside.
"Is Yuhao awake? It's time to come out and eat! Otherwise, the food your teacher brought back will get cold."
"Okay, Mom! I'm coming down right now!"
Regardless of what happened before, Huo Yuhao now cherishes every moment with his mother because he knows that his mother has been targeted by the God of Sea Tang San, and her soul may be taken hostage. He wonders if his teacher has resolved this after he fell into a coma. However, when Huo Yuhao put on the new clothes prepared by Yu Xiaogang and walked down the stairs, he saw the dining table full of fragrant food, and Huo Yun'er, who had completely recovered her appearance for her age.
Huo Yuhao burst into tears and called out to his mother, rushing into Huo Yun'er's arms. After all, Huo Yuhao hadn't seen his mother like this in a long time. Perhaps due to his eyes and brain Martial Soul, he had an exceptionally strong memory since birth.
Huo Yuhao's memories after the age of one are very clear. When he saw that familiar figure, he could no longer control himself. After all Huo Yun'er was indeed a beauty, having temporarily recovered her original appearance by stimulating her remaining life potential.
Otherwise, Dai Hao wouldn't have been interested in her. Moreover, having inherited Huo Yun'er's genes, Huo Yuhao was also very beautiful after her transformation. If Yu Xiaogang hadn't had a change of heart and not done the same thing as Tang San, it would have been a shame.
Otherwise, Tang San would have a fellow sufferer now. However, Huo Yuhao quickly noticed that his mother's movements were a bit stiff and unnatural, and immediately asked his Sea of Consciousness Teacher Yu Xiaogang, in his mind's eye:
"Teacher! Teacher! What's wrong with my mom? Why is her body so stiff? And wasn't she seriously injured and coughing up blood before?"
"Xiao Yuhao, when you enter the Sea of Consciousness, the illusion left by your teacher will be triggered and will explain to you that your teacher has suffered considerable losses for Xiao Yuhao and needs to fall into a deep sleep."
Yu Xiaogang had long known that Huo Yuhao would notice Huo Yun'er's abnormality as soon as he woke up, after all, the perception of Mental Power Soul Master is very sharp. Just before the main Divine Sense was about to fall asleep, he left a phantom message.
The event would trigger immediately upon Huo Yuhao entering his Sea of Consciousness, with a phantom image of Yu Xiaogang Huo Yuhao before him, smiling as he began to explain.
"Xiao Yuhao, your mother's original soul has been extracted by your teacher and stored in your mother's necklace. A constructed blank soul has taken over your mother's place to bear the divine Divine Sense seal of the God of Sea Tang San."
To give you and your mother a pleasant memory, your teacher specially stimulated the little remaining life potential in your mother's body. That empty shell only has about a year left to live, so cherish it, Xiao Yuhao.
"When your mother's old body completely dies, the God of Sea Tang San's Divine Sense seal will take away the blank soul that your teacher prepared. After that, your teacher will take your mother away to begin her resurrection. Xiao Yuhao, cultivate well, your teacher is watching over you."
After Yu Xiaogang finished speaking, the phantom disappeared. Huo Yuhao clenched his fists, never expecting that his mother only had one year to live. It was all the fault of the God of Sea Tang San!
Why is it that in the Douluo Continent, it was the Holy Sea God of Sea Tang San who defeated the Evil Spirit Hall and saved all the Soul Master on the continent? How could such a radiant and majestic god attack his own mother, who was powerless to even kill a chicken?
Although the teacher replaced his mother's soul, leaving only a fake soul shell for God of Sea Tang San, the thought of his mother having to remotely control her body through a small Soul Tool to take care of him still haunted him.
Huo Yuhao's hatred for God of Sea Tang San, intensified. He felt as if he had been manipulated by God of Sea Tang San like a puppet since birth, Huo Yuhao began to suspect that all his misfortunes were related to God of Sea Tang San.
But none of that matters now. Huo Yuhao just needs to spend the last year with his mother, and then he'll take some time off to wait for her resurrection.
When Huo Yuhao returned to the real world, he hugged Huo Yun'er, fearing that she would disappear at any moment.
"Yuhao, it's alright. Your teacher has already spoken to your mother. Although this body is nearing its end, I'm already very content that it can stay with you for a year. Yuhao, you must listen to your teacher and cultivate diligently to become a great and powerful person, and then revive your mother, okay?"
"Yes... I promise... Mom... I definitely will!"
Huo Yuhao was already sobbing uncontrollably in Huo Yun'er's arms. Perhaps this was a promise he had made with his mother; he didn't dare leave her in this dangerous place. What if her soul were targeted by the God of Sea Tang San again? After all, Teacher Yu Xiaogang had sacrificed too much for him and his mother, leaving behind only his legacy before falling into a deep sleep. He wondered when his teacher would awaken. "What's wrong? Xiao Yuhao, you miss your teacher so much after not seeing him for a while? You're still just a child!"
"Oh no!!! Teacher, didn't you say you were in a deep sleep due to excessive energy expenditure? What's going on?!"
"Silly boy, Yuhao, have you forgotten that this is a Soul Tool robot of your teacher? When your teacher fell into a deep sleep, a wisp of Divine Sense was specially left on this Soul Tool. Otherwise, who would answer your questions about cultivation? Do you Xiao Yuhao think that you can become a master by yourself through cultivation techniques?"
Yu Xiaogang's Explorer No. 2 displayed a helpless expression, which made Huo Yuhao blush instantly. The teacher must have seen what just happened! Ah! How embarrassing!
And so, Huo Yuhao and his mother's first meal after escaping began amidst Huo Yuhao's shame and indignation.
I have tonsil stones, tonsillitis, and a mouth ulcer on my tonsils (￣ c￣). This is so painful, I feel like dying. It hurts even to drink water now.
