Elder Yi's Heart Yearns for Home Like an Arrow, Huo Yuhao Goes Mad: If I'd Known This Would Happen, I Should Have Killed Them Long Ago! Kill, Kill, Kill!!!

"Why am I so weak!!!"

Why!

Huo Yuhao's eyes were bloodshot!

Black mist flowed within his pupils.

Having already been robbed of two great opportunities, his fortune had been severely damaged, leading to an unstable state of mind.

Coupled with the fact that he had finally received care he had never felt before, he now believed he couldn't withstand the medicinal power.

Deep down, he had actually begun to doubt the Sect Master who had been so sincere and devoted to him!!

How could I be so filthy!!

How could I have such thoughts!

All of this, in the final analysis, stemmed from the insufficiency of his own strength.

"Pfft--!"

Huo Yuhao spat out blood three feet high.

The blood splattered into the air and fell to the ground, the blood of the Child of Fortune nourishing the Blue Silver Grass below.

After spitting out this mouthful of blood, Huo Yuhao felt a sense of relief in his heart!

He had never felt so clear-headed before.

He calmed his mind and sensed the changes within himself.

He discovered that the speed at which he refined soul power had actually increased by at least half!

Inside Xu Qing's spiritual sea.

"Little friend, you are calmer than I imagined."

An aged voice resonated throughout this bright spiritual sea, and immediately after, an old man slowly appeared.

He wore a gray robe covered in intricate, mysterious patterns; when Xu Qing looked at them, his head swelled and his eyes grew dizzy.

He had no choice but to look away and fix his gaze on the man's face.

With white hair, a white beard, and golden eyes, that wrinkled face looked at first glance like someone with a story to tell.

"My name is Electrolux."

"I am but a wisp of remnant consciousness, drawn here by the spatial fluctuations caused by that great region, allowing me to enter this world from the cracks."

"My form is like drifting smoke, liable to dissipate at any moment, were it not for this carving knife of yours, crafted entirely from Life Gold."

"I would have been dead and gone, old man that I am."

Electrolux was somewhat different from what Xu Qing had imagined...

He didn't seem that serious.

"Now that I am residing in this carving knife, it is a matter of time and fate..."

He clasped his hands behind his back, looked up at the sky of the spiritual sea, and gazed at the core radiating light and heat, declaring magnanimously:

"Nourished by the life energy, this wisp of my remnant consciousness has been able to continue and stabilize, no longer in danger of perishing."

"Xu Qing, I ask that you allow this old man to reside here for the time being."

Having said this, Electrolux bowed slightly, very politely.

"Elder Yi, I shall address you as such from now on."

Xu Qing hurriedly stepped aside and then bowed deeply in return.

Don't be fooled by his usually cavalier demeanor; he might seem to disregard the respect due to a teacher in front of Du Busi, but that was merely the special way they interacted with each other.

After all, they were good buddies who had grown up together, and a good master!

They were bros! Why bother with etiquette? It was all superfluous.

But on formal occasions, he still knew how to conduct himself.

For instance, right now—the soul spirit method he had dreamed of, the encyclopedia, inviting gods to possess him, summoning skeletons to farm gold...

And so on and so forth, all of these things were with Elder Yi!

Moreover, such a righteous and good teacher was hard to come by!

Had he not heard of the former Child of Light?

"Hehehe... there is no need to be so formal."

Electrolux stroked his white beard and slowly descended, coming to stand before Xu Qing.

"You and that green-haired old man, your master, seem to have a deep bond."

This child is polite!

I, this old fellow, have met a good person.

"Alright, I've taken up enough of your time. Your master must be getting anxious, and this old man needs to settle down and recuperate..."

"As for that carving knife, I will only consume a negligible amount of its life energy, you needn't..."

Before he could finish, Electrolux's words were interrupted by Xu Qing's actions.

He extended his right hand toward Elder Yi, saying nonchalantly:

"Tsk, Elder Yi, why are you standing on ceremony with me?"

"I'll be counting on you to look after me in the future, so take that Life Carving Knife thing, it's yours!"

Anyway, Elder Yi wouldn't absorb it all, and besides, there was another piece inside that giant turtle's belly.

To Electrolux, Xu Qing's indifferent attitude...

Was exactly like looking at his former self when he was still the Child of Light.

So simple, so kind...

For a moment, he stood rooted to the spot, lost in reminiscence, unable to pull himself away as a sorrowful atmosphere enveloped him.

But he quickly returned to normal.

He stepped forward.

Slap—!

Xu Qing met him with a palm strike, executing the kind of high-five that only brothers with perfect chemistry could pull off.

Black Flash!!

"Xu Qing?"

"Disciple?"

"Treasure..."

"Tsk..."

Xu Qing opened one eye and gave Du Busi a massive eye-roll.

"I was just a bit tired and accidentally fell asleep, no need to make such a fuss."

"Your temperament still needs tempering, little Poison."

"Hey!?"

Du Busi rewarded Xu Qing with a flick to the forehead, then didn't linger, tucking him under his arm and speeding away.

They soon rendezvoused with Huo Yuhao.

They happened to catch Huo Yuhao straightening his body, looking up at the sky with clenched fists and a ferocious expression.

The master and disciple pair also happened to overhear his muttering.

"Mother, I will become stronger."

"I will have my revenge..."

"Kill them all, kill them all, kill them all!!!!"

"..."

Damn, another one going dark?

What's going on today?

Xu Qing exerted a little force, breaking free from the loving embrace, and scanned his surroundings, realizing what was happening.

A backlash of destiny?

If a Child of Destiny has the opportunities that should have belonged to him snatched away, can he still be called a Child of Destiny?

When a person's destiny is stripped away layer by layer and flows to others, what becomes of them?

Destiny is something ethereal, yet vital.

Once it begins to wane, the invisible power that secretly protected him ceases to exist.

He had been ostracized and tortured since he was a child, and helpless, he had watched his mother die of illness before his eyes.

Just thinking about that feeling was enough to push Xu Qing into his second stage of darkness.

But this wasn't him.

He was merely a bystander.

"Senior brother... you've arrived... I'm sorr..."

Slap.

Du Busi's broad palm landed on Huo Yuhao's head, ruthlessly ruffling it.

He didn't stop until he had turned it into a bird's nest.

That scalding temperature brought Huo Yuhao a sense of complete security, along with a level of care he had never felt from anyone else.

"Tsk, this is getting uncomfortable. I hate it when men cry."

Xu Qing remained expressionless, his words dripping with honeyed venom.

This old geezer was truly hot-tempered, yet he treated every child of the Body Sect exactly like this.

"Your senior brother is right. In our sect, we are all incredibly robust, manly men!"

"Huo Yuhao, if you dare to shed another tear, you'll get a taste of this fist of mine, which is as big as a sand pot."

Du Busi shook his calloused palm, wrapped it in soul power, and wiped the tears from the sobbing Huo Yuhao's face.

"I... I..."

This child, who had been so incredibly starved for affection, had his heart completely conquered by the Body Sect!!!

From the inside out, he was entirely filled by the Body Sect.
