"By the way, do you know how awful this Little Ball is, Yuhao?" Sister Tianmeng's expression darkened, her tone full of murderous intent, as if she wanted to hack that Little Ball into a thousand pieces.

"He took advantage of you and the Auspicious Beast merging, and slipped into your Sea of Consciousness through your third eye without even saying a word!"

"You should know, I entered your Sea of Consciousness first. This place is basically my bedroom."

"This Little Ball, whose gender we don't even know, barged into a girl's bedroom! What a lecher, a pervert, a shameless creep!"

After cursing him three times in a row, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's face brightened as though a spring breeze had passed over it.

"Luckily, I'm powerful. By borrowing my Million Years of Spiritual Power, I managed to suppress him for the time being."

"How was that, Yuhao? Wasn't I amazing?" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's eyes were alight with anticipation, clearly longing for him to praise her for being so impressive.

Yuhao knew perfectly well that if Sky Dream Ice Silkworm could suppress Electrolux, it would be about as plausible as the East Country's soccer team beating their opponents with help from a Supernatural Person.

But faced with those eager eyes, Yuhao went against his conscience. "You really are amazing, Sister Tianmeng."

Having gotten the response she wanted, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm put her hands on her hips. "Hmph! I really am the strongest!"

The smug look on Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's face suddenly fell. "Sigh, I can suppress him, but I can't deal with him."

"I can only put up with sharing a room with this Gray Ball who barged into a girl's bedroom."

"Hahaha! I hold the sun and moon in my hands and pluck the stars from the sky. There is no one like me in all the world." A deep, aged voice rang out.

"I never thought this old man would still have a wisp of Remnant Soul left in the world!"

"You big bug, I wasn't some pervert who barged into a girl's bedroom!"

"I was drawn in by the intersecting Power of Destiny."

"A... a big bug?" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm bristled. "You coward, too afraid to own up to what you did!"

"I'm as beautiful as a Celestial Maiden, and you actually called me a big bug? Watch it, or I'll take you out!"

That seemed to amuse Electrolux. "Hahaha! Take me out?"

"Though I'm only a wisp of Remnant Soul, I'm still beyond the likes of you, big bug."

"You look down on me? Fair enough. I don't have the slightest ability to fight." Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was in despair. She crouched in the corner and traced circles on the floor.

"I don't mean to look down on you," Electrolux said. "I'm merely stating a fact."

"I never thought I'd have a wisp of Remnant Soul left in this world, much less meet two such interesting youngsters."

"You're Yuhao, right? The Power of Destiny within you will greatly help stabilize and restore my Remnant Soul."

"I'll be staying with you from now on. Don't worry, I won't take up space for nothing."

"The Power of Destiny in your body is so pure and vast. After staying here for about a day, I've already remembered quite a few things."

"But as things stand, my Remnant Soul is still far too weak. I need to rest."

"I'll wake up in a year. When that happens, I..."

Before he could finish, Electrolux fell silent.

"Little Ball, I hope you never wake up!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm made a face at Electrolux.

"All right, Yuhao. I'm going to have a nice beauty sleep too."

"If there's anything you can't handle or don't understand, just wake me up anytime!"

The world spun, and Yuhao returned to the familiar room.

"Yuhao!"

A familiar, gentle voice called out. Yuhao closed the Eye of Destiny on his forehead.

"Hahaha! Yuhao, my good son, have you missed your father?"

A blond man with a strong build and handsome features scooped Yuhao up, ignoring the speechless look on his face.

The newcomer was Yuhao's Cheap Old Dad, Dai Hao. Behind him stood Huo Yun'er, whose face was pure and beautiful, and Uncle Mo, who was as meticulous as ever.

"Put me down first." Yuhao's face held a maturity and composure beyond his years.

Dai Hao pressed his face against Yuhao's soft, pale cheek.

"What's there to be embarrassed about? A father and son are just bonding."

Dai Hao had mistaken his behavior for embarrassment, so Yuhao came up with an excuse.

"You haven't shaved all your stubble, and it hurts when you rub it against me. Also, why are you back?"

Dai Hao put Yuhao down. "The White Tiger Duke's Mansion has two Kirin Children."

"And with the fighting over in Sun Moon no longer so intense, of course your father came back to see the two Kirin Children of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion."

"You've seen us. You can leave now." Yuhao wanted to continue comprehending his Eye of Destiny.

Dai Hao patted Yuhao's head. "It's not a good thing to grow up too quickly!"

"Your father came here today not only to see you, Yuhao. Uncle Mo told me that you nearly ran into danger when you went to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain a Soul Ring."

"Can you tell me what exactly happened?"

Yuhao made up a story without changing his expression. "You're asking what happened back then?"

"I'm not entirely sure. I remember waking up and finding several unconscious Soul Beasts in front of me, including a hundred-year-old Spirit Soul Beast."

"I dragged Uncle Mo and the Soul Beasts to a safe place, then absorbed that Soul Beast's Soul Ring."

"After that, I was afraid we'd run into the same situation as before, so I quickly dragged Uncle Mo out of the Star Dou Forest."

Uncle Mo's face showed a flicker of understanding. "So that's why Young Master Yuhao slept so deeply."

"I was supposed to protect you when we went to the Star Dou Great Forest. I never expected you to end up protecting me instead. I'm ashamed!"

Yuhao comforted him. "It's all right, Uncle Mo. You've looked after me for so many years. This was nothing!"

Huo Yun'er agreed. "That's right, Uncle Mo. The best outcome is that you both came back safely."

Dai Hao nodded. "By the way, Yuhao, could you show me the Soul Skill you obtained?"

"No problem." It was only one Soul Skill. As long as Yuhao kept his other three Soul Skills hidden, he'd be fine.

One of the four Soul Skills Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had granted him, Spirit Simulation, activated!

A yellow Soul Ring, its aura fluctuating around the five-hundred-year mark, appeared beneath Yuhao's feet.

One of the four Soul Skills of the First Soul Ring, Spirit Detection Sharing, activated.

Images of everything in the room appeared in the minds of Yuhao, Huo Yun'er, and the other two.

This was Yuhao's first time using this ability. It was incredible—he could see every corner of the room clearly!

"A scouting-type Soul Skill! It's powerful. What's it called?" Dai Hao asked.

"Spirit Detection Sharing," Yuhao replied.

Dai Hao gave him a thumbs-up. "If you could use this Soul Skill on the battlefield, it would be a Dimensional Strike against the enemy."

"Yuhao, when you grow up, would you be interested in joining the army with your dad?"

Huo Yun'er linked her arm with Dai Hao's. "Let him choose his own path in the future!"

"As long as he doesn't go astray, we parents should support our child's own wishes."

"Hao, don't forget what we're supposed to tell Yuhao today."

"Oh, right! Look at me, forgetting things. Yuhao, in three days..."
