After Sky Dream Ice Silkworm finished speaking, Huo Yuhao felt utterly miserable.
"Brother Sky Dream, stop talking." He buried his face in the collar of his padded coat, his voice muffled. "If you keep going, I'll lose what little confidence I have left. The Three Great Heavenly Kings are way beyond me. Can we be a little more realistic? When exactly are we getting my Second Soul Ring? And how are we supposed to awaken my Second Martial Soul?"

The bolder the man, the greater the harvest. I'm telling you, our target this time is the one ranked second among the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Extreme North!"
Huo Yuhao froze for a long while. His mouth twitched before he finally forced out an honest answer. "Brother Sky Dream, don't you think traveling all this way just to deliver ourselves as someone's meal is a little too polite?"

"Cough, cough..." Sky Dream Ice Silkworm choked up, and his voice immediately dropped several notches. "Th-that was different! I'm not who I was back then. Since I dared bring you here, I naturally have a way to deal with that fellow. What good would it do me if you died? Could I still live? With that little body of yours, if we don't give you a strong dose of medicine, what year or month will it be before you can avenge me?"
