A moment later, Huo Yuhao slowly opened his eyes in the outside world.
His Soul Power had already surpassed level ten. Now, after signing a Soul Spirit Contract with the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and absorbing the Soul Ring, his Soul Power had directly reached level fifteen.
Moreover, because he had gained a second martial soul, his skin had become even fairer and more delicate than before, faintly carrying a soft, lustrous glow.
Of course, what mattered even more was his first Soul Ring.
With a thought, a purple Soul Ring suddenly appeared beside Huo Yuhao, flickering with a faint light.
Spiritual Detection activated instantly, encompassing everything within a three-hundred-meter radius centered on him.
Spiritual Detection itself was a skill enhanced by both Soul Power and spiritual power.
His current spiritual power was already nearly equal to that of a spiritual-attribute Soul Grandmaster, while his physical constitution was comparable to that of a beast martial soul Soul Elder. This meant that the limit of what Huo Yuhao could currently withstand with his first Soul Ring was close to three thousand years.
So although he was still only a one-ringed Soul Master, with all these advantages combined, the effect of this soul skill was already close to what it had been when he had possessed around three rings in his previous life.
And as Huo Yuhao's physical constitution continued to improve, the color of his Soul Ring would keep changing as well.
Furthermore, because he had signed a Soul Spirit Contract with the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, she could provide him with a second Soul Ring later on.
By then, both his first and second Soul Rings would eventually reach the million-year level.
Unfortunately, if Tian Meng's energy had not already been almost completely absorbed, then Tian Meng probably could have covered all the Soul Rings for his Spirit Eye martial soul.
As the Soul Ring flickered faintly, a petite girl dressed in oversized white one-piece pajamas suddenly appeared out of thin air in midair. Then, her body fell straight downward.
Huo Yuhao stretched out his arms, steadily catching her and holding her in his embrace.
Looking at the somewhat dazed blonde girl in his arms, he said,
"Tian Meng, how do you feel?"
Tian Meng blinked her brown eyes, each ringed with a circle of gold. Suddenly, she grinned, revealing two adorable little fangs.
Without the slightest hesitation, she reached out and touched Huo Yuhao's cheek, then rubbed it with a delighted expression.
"It's actually real, and there's basically no difference from my original self."
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm exclaimed, her fingers continuously poking Huo Yuhao's face. "This is incredible! Is this the power of a Soul Spirit Contract?!"
Earlier, while they had been in the spiritual space, Huo Yuhao had already explained the functions of a Soul Spirit Contract to the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm in detail. Naturally, Tian Meng had been somewhat doubtful.
Compared to that incomparably miraculous Soul Spirit Contract, the so-called "intelligent Soul Ring" she had previously come up with was simply garbage.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Huo Yuhao also briefly introduced Electrolux to the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, explaining that the Soul Spirit Contract had actually originated from his teacher, Electrolux.
This also made the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm restrain herself considerably. At the very least, she gave up the idea of having Huo Yuhao drive that gray ball of air out of his spiritual space.
Now that her spiritual power had evolved into divine consciousness, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, as a Soul Spirit, was not much different from a physical being.
She even carried an exceptionally pure, delicate fragrance that suddenly snapped Huo Yuhao awake.
Realizing that he was still holding Tian Meng, he prepared to put her down.
But in the next instant, Tian Meng's eyes suddenly brightened. She tightly hooked her arms around Huo Yuhao's neck, pressed her cheek against his, and took a deep breath. Her voice was filled with intoxication and satisfaction:
(Please remember Book-Chasing App, 101 Reading Network, , a super convenient website with the fastest chapter updates.)
"Yuhao, you smell so good..."
"Tian Meng, what are you doing?"
A flush rose to Huo Yuhao's face as he tried to pull the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm away from himself.
But Tian Meng refused to let up. Instead, she buried her face in the hollow of Huo Yuhao's neck again and greedily breathed in his scent.
Inside the tent at that moment.
"Alright, Tian Meng, stop messing around."
Huo Yuhao finally could not help reaching out and gently grasping Tian Meng's little hand as it wandered over his abdominal muscles, stopping her increasingly bold behavior.
Yet Tian Meng still wore a foolish grin as she stroked Huo Yuhao's abs, muttering to herself,
"Yuhao, your muscles are so firm."
During her previous exchanges with Huo Yuhao in the spiritual space, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had already felt Huo Yuhao's trust in her. It could even be said that he doted on her.
This gradually caused the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's true nature to emerge. At the very least, she was no longer as afraid of Huo Yuhao as before.
When she had personally witnessed the Mandala Snake dissipating earlier, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had truly felt the presence of death.
She clearly realized that before Huo Yuhao, she was probably as fragile as a little bug. But this escape from death, followed by such incredible good fortune, had brought about a subtle change in the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's mentality amid that shock and delight.
Seeing that the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was still giggling foolishly, Huo Yuhao could only condense a cold chunk of ice between his fingers using Soul Power. Then, when Tian Meng was not paying attention, he slid the ice down the back of her neck and into her pajamas.
"Ah! I'm freezing!"
Startled by the sudden chill, Tian Meng shuddered all over and let out a scream. She sprang away from Huo Yuhao, wildly clawing at her back with both hands as she tried to pull out the chunk of ice that had left her shivering.
Although the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was currently in a divine-consciousness state, nearly all of her original power remained in Huo Yuhao's spiritual space.
It could be said that aside from being able to unleash a single spiritual attack close to that of a Limit Douluo, this divine consciousness was not much different from an ordinary person in other respects.
Once Tian Meng finally fumbled the ice out of her pajamas, she fiercely glared at Huo Yuhao. Then, huffing angrily, she wrapped herself in the blanket and curled into the shape of a caterpillar.
Turning her head to the other side with her back toward Huo Yuhao, she was clearly angered by his prank and had no intention of paying attention to him.
Huo Yuhao looked at the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's sulky appearance, an helpless expression appearing on his face.
Still, it seemed that he really had done something wrong.
It was just that in his previous life, he and the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had always addressed each other as brothers. Now that she had suddenly become a petite girl, he truly found it difficult to correct his habitual behavior.
Huo Yuhao could only walk over to the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, gently gather the caterpillar-wrapped Tian Meng into his arms, and coax her softly,
"Alright, Tian Meng, I know I was wrong. Tomorrow, I'll grill a few more fish for you to eat, okay?"
After Tian Meng had appeared in physical form earlier, she had naturally been incredibly curious about everything.
Compared to what she had originally imagined, after becoming an intelligent Soul Ring, she would have had to remain in the host's spiritual space in the form of a spiritual body most of the time.
How could she possibly have been like this now, practically no different from a human?
And after tasting the fish Huo Yuhao had grilled beforehand, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had nearly bitten off her own tongue, crying out that she had never eaten anything so delicious.
Hearing Huo Yuhao's apology and promise, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's eyes immediately lit up. Yet she still pouted and said with an aggrieved look,
"Not enough. You think a few grilled fish are enough to fob me off? It won't be that easy."
"Hm? Then what else do you want?"
Huo Yuhao asked in confusion.
Tian Meng raised her head, looked into Huo Yuhao's eyes, and said seriously,
"Yuhao, if you want me to forgive you, then at the very least, tonight, I want to hold you while we sleep. That's the only way you can show your sincerity."
