Yuhao: This Is Too Hard

Seven days later, in the Star Dou Great Forest.

The sun had only just lazily risen not long ago, casting its light upon crystal-clear dewdrops and refracting rainbow-colored radiance.

In the distance, two sets of footsteps lightly trod through the grass, producing soft rustling sounds. Soon after, two figures gradually became clearer within the Early Morning mist.

The two figures were one tall and one small, yet both possessed breathtaking beauty. The smaller figure on the left had ice-blue Long Hair, smooth and delicate skin, and large blue eyes that seemed able to speak, tugging at one's heartstrings.

The tall Female on the right could be described as devastatingly beautiful. Her pinkish-purple Long Hair rested casually over her shoulders, and through the Strands of Hair, one could faintly see her exquisite collarbones.

A light purple long dress gently wrapped around her body, fully displaying her curvaceous figure. Yet what stood out most was her temperament—nobility and charm blended with A trace of languidness, enough to intoxicate anyone with a single glance.

These two were Bibi Dong and Huo Yuhao. After seven days, Bibi Dong had brought Huo Yuhao here to obtain a Soul Ring.

"Yuhao, do you have any thoughts regarding your choice for the First Soul Ring?"

"Teacher, since I'm obtaining a Soul Ring for my Spirit Eyes first, it should naturally be a spiritual-attribute Soul Beast."

"Oh, all right. Then we'll find you a spiritual-attribute Soul Beast."

Bibi Dong casually replied while gently rubbing Huo Yuhao's ice-blue Long Hair with her fingertips.

Little Yuhao's hair was cool to the touch and as smooth as Ice Silkworm silk. It really felt wonderful to stroke.

Huo Yuhao watched helplessly as Bibi Dong freely played with his hair, his eyes full of resignation. He had already grown accustomed to Bibi Dong's little antics.

Ever since six years ago, Bibi Dong had treated him like a body pillow. She could hardly fall asleep without holding him every night.

Bibi Dong slept comfortably, but Huo Yuhao suffered for it. Since he was still young, Bibi Dong had no reservations at all, wearing only a thin layer of gauze every night.

The greatest difference between that gauze garment and wearing nothing at all was... that it was even more seductive.

Of course, during those six years, Huo Yuhao had tried reasoning with Bibi Dong. He said things like how he had already grown up and could no longer sleep with her, and so on...

However, Bibi Dong always agreed readily during the day, only to unilaterally tear up the agreement every night, sneaking into Huo Yuhao's room and tightly hugging him in her arms.

For some reason, whenever Bibi Dong slept while holding Huo Yuhao, she always slept exceptionally peacefully.

Naturally, Huo Yuhao had questioned Bibi Dong about her behavior. She had clearly agreed during the day, so why did she break her promise at night? She couldn't bully him like this.

Facing Huo Yuhao's questioning, Bibi Dong answered with complete confidence: "I'm your Teacher. I'm only worried you'll be scared sleeping alone at night, and so on... I'm already here. Are you trying to chase me away? Sob... Yuhao..."

After she successfully stayed, things gradually started to go more and more wrong.

At first, it was: "Yuhao, I'm only holding you while I sleep. Do you have to be so nervous? Relax..."

"I'm only touching your hair. Your hair smells so nice, Yuhao..."

"I'm only kissing your cheek. I'll sleep after the kiss, I swear. This time, I'll definitely sleep..."

"Yuhao, how about taking off your pajamas? Sleeping in pajamas is so uncomfortable. I'm only going to hold you while I sleep. I'll go to sleep right away, be good..."

From initial resistance to helplessness, Huo Yuhao eventually accepted Fate's arrangements.

When Hu Liena arrived, Huo Yuhao thought his nightmare had ended. Yet later on, the number of people secretly entering his room every day went from one to two.

Even now, Huo Yuhao could not forget the shock in Hu Liena's and Bibi Dong's eyes when they stared at each other in his room.

The past was too painful to revisit. Huo Yuhao only hoped to grow up quickly, so Bibi Dong would no longer use his young age as an excuse to sneak into his room.

Just as Huo Yuhao's thoughts wandered, a slender jade hand lightly pinched his ear. Then Bibi Dong's voice rang out. "Yuhao, what are you thinking about? Don't tell me you're speaking ill of your Teacher?"

"H-how could that be? Teacher is so kind and so beautiful. How could I possibly speak ill of Teacher?"

Huo Yuhao hurriedly waved his hands and blinked his large eyes, looking so innocent that anyone would pity him.

"Is that so? Was I mistaken? Hmph, I don't care. I'm angry anyway, so you figure it out."

"Then... Teacher, what will it take for you not to be angry?"

Huo Yuhao cautiously asked.

"Let me kiss you for an entire night after we get back."

Bibi Dong spoke to Huo Yuhao with a perfectly matter-of-fact expression, though the faint blush appearing on her cheeks revealed that her heart was far from calm.

Looking at the unreasonable Bibi Dong beside him, Huo Yuhao was utterly stunned. No, seriously, are you not even pretending anymore? You used to at least come up with a whole pile of excuses. Why are you being so direct now? That's just rude.

Seeing Huo Yuhao's stunned expression, Bibi Dong was immediately displeased. "What? You're unwilling? Or do you think that now that you've grown up, you dislike your Teacher?"

As she spoke, Bibi Dong pretended to wipe at the corners of her eyes, occasionally sneaking a glance at Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao...

With no other choice, Huo Yuhao could only humiliate himself by signing this unequal treaty, allowing Bibi Dong to do as she pleased at night. Only then did a smile return to Bibi Dong's face.

However, while Huo Yuhao and Bibi Dong searched for a Soul Beast, beside the Lake of Life at the center of the Star Dou Great Forest, a golden Soul Beast resembling a lion raised her head in confusion and looked into the distance.

This Soul Beast was exceptionally strange. At the center of her forehead was a pair of golden vertical pupils, radiating faint Power of Destiny.

The imperial Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion!

"Strange, what is going on? Why do I sense such a familiar aura from that direction?"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion muttered to herself. Yet before she could figure it out, a black vortex suddenly appeared behind her.

The surrounding space was instantly affected, and a wild-looking man with black hair and black robes stepped out of the vortex. He was Di Tian, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King and leader of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts.

"Auspicious Beast, what happened?"

Hearing Di Tian's voice, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion immediately turned around. Then, somewhat bewildered, she said, "Di Tian, I sensed an aura like mine in the distance—Power of Destiny like mine?"
