This is the third day since Leng Yaozhu arrived in the world ten thousand years ago.

Just yesterday, she used her absolute strength to help Huo Yuhao "escape" from the Shrek Academy.

According to Huo Yuhao's prior calculations, Leng Yaozhu would only have a total of five days to safely move around in the outside world.

Five days later, she must return to the Undead Plane and cannot stay in the outside world any longer, otherwise she may miss the next opportunity to travel through time and be trapped in this world from ten thousand years ago.

Three days have passed, and she only has two days left.

So early on the fourth day, Leng Yaozhu and Huo Yuhao set off directly for Star Luo City.

Although Huo Yuhao's Two-Word Battle Armor grants him the ability to fly, his flight speed is naturally much slower than that of Leng Yaozhu, the Sky Phoenix Douluo.

To save the already limited time, Leng Yaozhu carried Huo Yuhao on the plane the entire way.

The phantom of the Fire Phoenix swept across the sky at a great height, so fast that pedestrians on the ground could only see a faint streak of red light passing across the horizon, thinking it was their imagination.

In just a few hours, the two had traversed a journey that would take ordinary people many days to complete, and arrived at Star Luo City, the capital of the Star Luo Empire.

Walking on the wide and bustling streets of Star Luo City, Leng Yaozhu and beautiful appearance and extraordinary temperament once again became the focus of everyone's attention, attracting the attention of passersby.

However, Leng Yaozhu was already used to these gazes. She continued walking forward without caring, her beautiful eyes taking in everything around her with great interest.

"I've been to the Star Luo Continent ten thousand years later many times," Leng Yaozhu said as she walked. "That new Star Luo City has many similarities to this place. It seems that the descendants of the Star Luo Empire have never forgotten the glory of ten thousand years ago."

As she spoke, she suddenly turned to look at Huo Yuhao beside her, a meaningful smile appearing on her lips.

"Speaking of which, the royal family of the Star Luo Empire ten thousand years later is a descendant of White Tiger Duke."

"In that respect, he's practically your relative."

"If it were based on seniority, you might even be able to snag the title of an ancestor."

Huo Yuhao was slightly taken aback, then smiled helplessly, thinking to himself that Aunt Leng's thinking was really unconventional.

He then asked, "Are they descendants of Dai Yueheng or Dai Huabin?"

Leng Yaozhu shook her head. "There's no specific description in historical records, but the Star Luo Imperial Family should have relevant records. If you're interested, you can go and see for yourself sometime."

Huo Yuhao kept those words in mind, and a sense of curiosity did indeed rise within him.

Although he no longer felt any fatherly affection for White Tiger Duke, he wouldn't mind seeing what his descendants would be like ten thousand years from now.

He nodded, his tone calm but not perfunctory. "If there's a chance, it's definitely worth going to see."

After traversing the bustling streets of Star Luo City, Huo Yuhao did not take Leng Yaozhu to the Starlight Auction House today. Instead, he headed towards the east side of the Imperial Palace.

The two crossed the last bustling street corner, gradually leaving the surrounding noise behind, and the scenery in front of them became more open.

This place was originally a prince's mansion, with carved beams and painted rafters, pavilions and towers, and was once a prominent place in Star Luo City.

But now, that once magnificent palace has been completely razed to the ground, the ruins have been cleared away, and in its place is a bustling construction site.

Hundreds of craftsmen and laborers were busy on this open space. Some were measuring, some were moving stones, and some were mixing mortar. The shouts, hammering, and the muffled sounds of stones colliding were all mixed together.

Deep trenches have been dug in the ground, and huge bluestone slabs are neatly stacked in them, crisscrossing and outlining the prototype of a magnificent building.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is laying the foundation, and judging from the scale and depth of the foundation, it is no ordinary building to be constructed.

Huo Yuhao's gaze slowly swept across the crowd, and soon locked onto a figure.

It was a tall, slender young man standing alone on a simple platform on the side of the construction site, looking down at the operation of the entire site under the blazing sun. This man was Gongyang Mo.

As Huo Yuhao walked towards him, Gongyang Mo quickly noticed him as well.

A hint of surprise flashed across Gongyang Mo's face, and then he leaped down from the high platform and strode forward to greet him.

Huo Yuhao watched him approach, his gaze falling on the fine beads of sweat on Gongyang Mo's forehead and his cheeks, which were slightly flushed from the sun.

He couldn't help but chuckle, his tone tinged with concern and helplessness. "You're not an architecture student, you don't need to stay here every day. Standing under this blazing sun for half a day, why bother?"

Gongyang Mo raised his hand and hastily wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, but firmly shook his head.

"The first Spirit Pagoda must be built. I don't know anything about architecture, but as long as I stand here, no one will dare to cut corners or cheat on the materials."

Huo Yuhao himself was someone who expected gratitude in return for kindness, and wasn't Gongyang Mo the same?

He would always remember that it was Huo Yuhao who helped him stand up again.

It's not just his legs, it's his entire life.

When everyone treated him as a worthless cripple, it was Huo Yuhao who gave him a chance.

It was Huo Yuhao who invited him to join the Spirit Pagoda, inviting him to become a member of this "promising" and great cause.

Gongyang Mo had no way to repay these kindnesses.

So all he could do was lay bare his heart and pour all his energy into the Spirit Pagoda that was rising from the ground.

He would watch with his own eyes as each foundation stone was placed and each beam was erected, ensuring that the first Spirit Pagoda could be built perfectly.

Huo Yuhao didn't say anything more after hearing this, but silently raised his opinion of Gongyang Mo a few points higher.

He is a person who always distinguishes between gratitude and resentment. If someone treats him with sincerity, he will remember it and repay them a hundredfold in the future.

Gongyang Mo's sincerity and diligence were seen and remembered.

In that instant, a thought quietly took root in his heart.

In the future, we must find a suitable Immortal Herb for Gongyang Mo to help him break free from the shackles of his martial spirit.

Gongyang Mo's martial soul is the Rainbow Dragon, and in terms of support capabilities, it is comparable to the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda number one support martial soul in the world.

But like the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda, the Rainbow Dragon also has a fatal limitation: it can only cultivate to the level of Soul Saint at most in its lifetime.

The gate leading to the Titled Douluo realm was firmly welded shut from the moment they awakened their martial souls.

This is almost an ironclad rule recognized by the Soul Master World, which no one has been able to break for thousands of years, but Huo Yuhao just doesn't believe in this evil.

His Spirit Pagoda is just starting out, and it's precisely the time when he needs talented people.

If Gongyang Mo can break through this constraint, it will not only be a great thing for Gongyang Mo himself, but also of great significance to the future of the Spirit Pagoda.

Gongyang Mo was naturally unaware that Huo Yuhao was already plotting how to "defy fate" for him.

His gaze had already fallen on Leng Yaozhu beside Huo Yuhao, but he looked away after just one glance, secretly marveling at how outstanding the woman's appearance and temperament were.

He didn't dare to look at her too closely and asked, "Yuhao, who is this?"

Huo Yuhao immediately introduced, "This is my teacher, Leng Yaozhu."

Upon hearing this, a clear look of surprise flashed in Gongyang Mo's eyes.

He had never heard Huo Yuhao mention such a teacher before, and he instinctively wanted to greet him, but the words caught in his throat.

He opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to call him.

Huo Yuhao noticed his embarrassment and chuckled as he stepped in to defuse the situation, saying, "Senior, you can just call me Tower Master. My teacher and I have already discussed it, and once the Spirit Pagoda is completed, my teacher will be the honorary Spirit Pagoda Tower Master."

Upon hearing this, Gongyang Mo was startled, and his gaze towards Leng Yaozhu became even more respectful. He quickly and solemnly greeted her, "Tower Master!"

Leng Yaozhu nodded slightly, a faint smile appearing on her elegant and noble face as a response.

After getting acquainted, Huo Yuhao glanced around at the busy construction site, then turned to Gongyang Mo and said, "Senior, there should be people from the Star Luo Imperial Family on this construction site, right? Could you please arrange a meeting with Princess Jiujiu tonight?"

Gongyang Mo nodded, without asking any unnecessary questions, "Okay, I'll have someone inform them right away."

After saying that, he turned and left, his steps crisp and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.

Watching his departing figure, Leng Yaozhu's beautiful eyes flashed with approval, and she rarely praised him, saying, "He's a good helper."

Huo Yuhao's lips curled up slightly. "Gongyang is indeed very serious about his work."
