Huo Yuhao Meets Er Ming
Wang Dong'er let out a long breath; the Soul Power within her body had just completed one cycle of circulation.
She adjusted her posture, preparing to close her eyes and continue her cultivation.
However, at that moment, a voice suddenly entered her mind.
"Dong'er, I'm here."
Wang Dong'er paused, and her eyelashes, which were about to close, trembled slightly.
She recognized the voice all too well; it was her Second Uncle's.
However, the other party rarely left the Clear Sky Sect, spending most of his time in the sect and detached from worldly affairs. The fact that he had actually brought the Spirit Pagoda today surprised her and made her feel a little uneasy.
She immediately stood up, and without thinking any further, quickly walked out of the Cultivation Room and headed towards the first floor of the Spirit Pagoda.
Meanwhile, in the top-floor office, Huo Yuhao abruptly stopped flipping through the files.
His fingertips hovered in mid-air, his gaze slightly narrowed.
With his current Divine Power, he can perceive all the fluctuations in energy inside and outside the Spirit Pagoda.
Just a moment ago, a powerful Divine Power swept past the tower like a night breeze, and he naturally noticed it immediately.
He quickly tracked the direction of the Divine Power and locked onto the target. When he saw the person's face clearly at the entrance of the Spirit Pagoda on the first floor, he was instantly stunned.
He was familiar with that face; in fact, he had seen it just recently.
However, it's not in this world ten thousand years ago, but in the world ten thousand years from now.
The burly man standing at the entrance of the Spirit Pagoda's first floor right now—wasn't he the Quasi-God who attacked him in Shrek City?
Huo Yuhao's heart skipped a beat, and his expression gradually darkened.
He sat at his desk, the pen in his hand now resting on the surface, his Divine Power locked on the imposing figure beneath the Spirit Pagoda.
He saw Wang Dong'er walk quickly down to the first floor and meet the burly man.
The other person's previously tense face softened with a kind smile the moment they saw Wang Dong'er, revealing a gentleness that only appears when facing someone close to them.
The relationship between the two is clearly unusual.
Huo Yuhao had previously guessed that the other party might be a reclusive expert left behind by the Clear Sky Sect, but at this moment, that idea was already fading in his mind.
If he were merely a descendant of the Clear Sky Sect, how could he have existed ten thousand years ago?
The other party couldn't possibly possess the ability to travel through ten thousand years of time like I do, so there's only one truth left.
This person is someone who has lived for ten thousand years, from ten thousand years ago to ten thousand years into the future.
Even Quasi-God level experts have a lifespan of no more than three hundred years.
Apart from Soul Beast, only God can possess such a long Life God.
Thinking about this, Huo Yuhao had a vague guess, which gradually became clearer as his thoughts progressed.
After being reminded by Elder Jin, he always regarded Tang San as a potential future enemy, and therefore paid special attention to the Sea God's related experiences.
Before Tang San became a god, he received Sacrifice from two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Later, after Tang San achieved God Position, he used his Divine Power to re-condense the souls of the two Soul Beast and bestowed upon them new bodies, which not only greatly increased their strength but also granted them immortality.
This matter has spread widely across the mainland, and even Soul Beast like Tian Meng and Ice Empress know about it.
If the burly man appearing on the first floor of the Spirit Pagoda at this moment is one of the two resurrected Soul Beast, then everything makes sense.
At the entrance of the lobby on the first floor of the Spirit Pagoda, the staff member who had just asked the question was now standing still, his gaze secretly falling on Wang Dong'er and the burly man.
He had just heard Wang Dong'er call out "Second Uncle," and he secretly thought to himself that he had not misjudged her.
His respectful smile deepened, and he quietly took half a step back, already planning in his mind to find an opportunity to make a good impression on the Tower Master's "father-in-law".
Wang Dong'er's face was filled with undisguised surprise, her pinkish-blue eyes sparkling as she looked up at Er Ming and asked, "Second Uncle, what brings you here?"
Er Ming looked down at her, his resolute face still bearing a hint of sternness, but his tone revealed an undisguised doting and reproach. "You little brat, you never even go back to see us, so I had no choice but to come see you myself."
Upon hearing this, Wang Dong'er's smile faded slightly, and she lowered her eyes, a hint of guilt flashing in them.
She hadn't been back to the Clear Sky Sect for a long time, and now that Er Ming had said it to her face, she couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
However, she quickly raised her head again, stepped forward, and took Er Ming's arm, swaying it slightly. Her voice was soft and coquettish. "I know that Big Uncle and Second Uncle won't be angry with me, right?"
Her large, pinkish-blue eyes looked innocently at Er Ming, as if she was certain that he couldn't do anything about her appearance.
Er Ming's stern face remained unchanged for a moment before those eyes, but eventually softened.
He raised his hand and gently tapped Wang Dong'er's head, his tone carrying a helpless indulgence. "I really can't do anything with you."
Wang Dong'er chuckled, as if she had returned to the carefree little girl she used to be at the Clear Sky Sect. She took Er Ming's arm and pulled him toward the elevator.
"Since Second Uncle has finally come out, let him explore Star Luo City properly and spend a few more days with me."
As the two approached the elevator, Wang Dong'er was about to press the up button when Er Ming 'Wang Dong'er voice rang out beside her, causing her outstretched hand to freeze in mid-air.
"This time I came not only to see you..." He lowered his head slightly, his gaze falling on Wang Dong'er's face, "But more importantly, to see that kid Huo Yuhao."
"Look... Yuhao?!"
Wang Dong'er stopped in her tracks, turned to look at Er Ming, her eyes filled with surprise.
Her voice unconsciously rose a moment ago. She had thought that her Second Uncle had only come to Star Luo City to see her, but she hadn't expected that Huo Yuhao was also on his mind.
Upon hearing this, Er Ming gave a soft snort, his tone carrying the self-righteous dissatisfaction of an elder towards a younger generation. "Hmph, that brat has tricked our precious little princess away. As her father, shouldn't I at least go and see him for myself?"
He said it aloud, and he did indeed have such thoughts in his heart.
But what truly made him decide to make this trip himself was the divine decree issued by Tang San.
After being targeted by the God of Destruction, Tang San dared not easily contact the lower realm through the God Realm Hub, fearing that the other party would find a handle against him.
However, Da Ming and Er Ming are from the Clear Sky Sect and have the divine imprint left by Tang San on their bodies, which allows them to bypass the God Realm Hub and communicate directly.
Tang San had already noticed the abnormality in Huo Yuhao; the thread of fate was slipping out of his control, and he needed someone to personally confirm what was going on.
Then Er Ming arrived.
A hint of panic flashed deep in Wang Dong'er's eyes. Huo Yuhao had previously explicitly refused to return to the Clear Sky Sect with her, and she felt at the time that there might be some reason she didn't know.
Now that her Second Uncle had come directly to her door, there was no way to avoid this meeting. A sense of unease rose in her heart, and she feared that this meeting would not be as harmonious as she had hoped.
"Ding-dong."
A crisp notification sound rang out, and the elevator doors slowly slid open to both sides, revealing Huo Yuhao's figure between the silver-gray metal door frames.
His gaze first fell on Wang Dong'er, then naturally shifted to the burly man beside her. His eyes lingered for a moment, a perfectly timed hint of doubt flashing across them.
He looked at Wang Dong'er and asked in a normal tone, "Dong'er, who is this?"
