Future Me and Former Me (4)

Huo Yuhao asked a question that was somewhat presumptuous but not difficult to answer.

That's how he sees it.

Electrolux saw it the same way.

To Sky Dream Ice Worm, and to any normal person in the world, their understanding of this statement remains exactly the same.

It's impolite, but simple.

However, for Dai Yuhao, the God of Emotion from the Dou Three Star System, this was not a matter of being presumptuous, impolite, or simple. Instead, it was like a pair of tweezers that pinched the scar on his heart and then forcibly tore off the scab!

So much so that he was unusually speechless!

He maintained that silence that Huo Yuhao noticed was somewhat unusual!

It took a full four or five minutes!

It can be said for a long time!

However, it is ultimately an old story.

The God of Emotion Dai Yuhao, struggled to close his wounds.

Gather your thoughts.

She let out a long breath, as if expelling all the pressure along with the breath. "I've had two... no, maybe four relationships... If you want to hear about them, I'll tell you as someone who's been through it... Although I can't guarantee you won't follow in my footsteps, I hope you'll be spared the pain."

"Tonight will be long."

It's only 6:30 now.

"If the story you want to tell is not longer than five and a half hours, I think I would be very interested to hear it."

Huo Yuhao glanced at the clock on the wall.

They did not conceal their actions.

This is also a subtle hint to Dai Yuhao.

Tell him not to go on and on.

However, the wording was subtle in the response.

"To make a long story short, ten minutes will be enough."

"I still remember Shrek's school rules."

"We close at 12 o'clock."

"Don't worry, it won't keep you from going back to your dorm to rest."

The God of Emotion, Dai Yuhao, chuckled, but small talk was enough to ease the tension; business was more important. "My first relationship was quite complicated. Maybe I was just too young back then; I didn't even realize she was a girl until the Poseidon's Fate Blind Date Event ... Actually, you know her too... Yes, you already know her now, so don't look so shocked. From the moment you entered the academy, you two were bound together..."

"Wang Dong... ugh, now, it's more accurate to call her Wang Dong'er."

"You mean her, right?"

"Do you... do you even have any bottom line?"

Even rabbits know not to eat the grass near their burrows!

"Don't you feel embarrassed?"

Huo Yuhao's eyes widened.

He couldn't help but rebuke angrily.

These words completely baffled Dai Yuhao, the God of Emotion: "No... how can you be so sure I'm talking about her?"

"Just tell me, isn't that right!" Huo Yuhao could guess who his Dou Three self was referring to, naturally having his own preconceived notions. However, there was no need to tell others about these preconceived notions. Ignoring his Dou Three self's rhetorical question, which seemed like an explanation but was actually a cover-up, he sneered, "It's obvious you haven't studied properly. The Light Goddess Butterfly Martial Soul has never appeared in a male... Yes, you can certainly say that just because something hasn't happened before doesn't mean it won't happen now, or that it won't happen in the future. But from my social circle, among the people I can contact, she is the only one who is a girl disguised as a boy... And, the key point is, you just said that you recognized her, not that you knew her, let alone saw her. This means that you already knew her, you just didn't recognize her!"

"If I didn't know you knew the answer..."

"Now, we're working backward from the answer to deduce the process."

"I'm afraid even I will be easily won over by your well-reasoned argument."

Sky Dream Ice Worm seized the opportunity to complain.

Soon after, another large bump appeared on his head.

He glared angrily at Electrolux, who had beaten him.

Then, she silently withdrew her intention to attack, and ran to the side with a wronged expression, using her mental energy to condense a tree branch and draw circles.

Seeing this, Electrolux did not make any further moves.

He simply listened silently.

Of course, listening in was just a side effect.

Its main function is to oversee Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Space.

To prevent Huo Yuhao from being tricked by the person opposite him who claimed to be from the Dou Three Star System, namely Dai Yuhao, the God of Emotion.

His body was decaying.

The power has been lost.

But even if only a wisp of a soul remains.

He can also guarantee the safety of his disciples.

Because defense and offense are two different things.

As for Sky Dream Ice Worm's blunt truth, to be honest, it was a bit of a mood killer.

He didn't care about these trivial details.

But if it interferes with his disciple's thinking.

That would be rather inappropriate.

After all, the Sky Dream Ice Worm was merely a million-year-old Soul Beast had grown up through consuming food. He hadn't reached that level and didn't understand the abilities of a powerful being. From the beginning until now, his junior disciple had performed exceptionally well. Although this excellence hadn't yet surprised or impressed him, even from his perspective, it was flawless. Calling it excellent wouldn't be an exaggeration. Therefore, under such intense concentration, any off-topic remark could disrupt his junior disciple's train of thought. And once his train of thought was interrupted, there was no guarantee that some secrets wouldn't be leaked. Although he definitely prioritized Huo Yuhao's safety over Ye Qingcang's intelligence secrets between Ye Qingcang and Huo Yuhao —in other words, if Huo Yuhao were in Goddess of Life danger, he, as the teacher, wouldn't mind betraying Ye Qingcang's information to save his junior disciple's Goddess of Life —since his junior disciple was willing to keep the secret and hadn't asked for his help, all he could do was not hold him back and, incidentally, keep the Sky Dream Ice Worm under control.

Therefore, not every strong person can read minds.

This can also be called capturing the mind and seizing thoughts.

However, what determines this is how strong the willpower of the person in the relatively weaker position is, and whether they can withstand the pressure.

Just like the Silver Dragon King in Dou Three, who could easily capture the chaotic mental thoughts of Di Tian in Dou Three, it is difficult to keep privacy and secrets even without speaking when there is a huge difference in strength.

Of course.

This principle certainly applies to the present situation.

However, the current situation falls under the third possibility.

That means the will of the person in the dominant position has wavered.

That's right.

Dai Yuhao, the God of Emotion, was indeed shaken.

Perhaps it should be called astonishment.

Because he genuinely hadn't expected that Dou Two would guess Wang Dong'er's identity based on just these reasons, and even righteously rebuke him, saying things like "a rabbit doesn't eat the grass near its burrow"—a statement that sounded ridiculous no matter how you looked at it. He couldn't help but laugh and retort, "So, your intentions weren't so good either. You clearly knew she was a girl, yet you shamelessly lived in the same dormitory as her. Can you honestly say it was unintentional?"

"How I am is none of your business."

"Also, don't ruin her reputation."

"For men like you and me, scandals don't have much of an impact, but for Wang Dong'er, scandals can be a huge problem."

"Besides that, there's one more point that I think is worth mentioning."

History is history!

"Reality is reality!"

"When you try to interfere with reality, history changes!"

"She and I are very good friends."

"Although that guy has always been a bit arrogant."

"He looks like he deserves a beating."

"Maybe I can end up with her in the future."

"Perhaps we won't end up together in the future."

"But for me, at least in this era, at this critical juncture, I don't want my desires to affect my friendship with her... not only because I don't want to repeat history, but also because true friends are rare, and I don't want to scheme against her!"

Huo Yuhao's answer was resolute.

This startled Dai Yuhao, the God of Emotion.

But before he could even open his mouth to refute what Dou Two himself had said.

Then, this Dou Two self continued what he hadn't finished saying, saying in one breath, "And I also roughly guessed who your father-in-law is... the Poseidon Tang San... Am I right?"

Quiet!

In the private room, for a moment, you could hear a pin drop!

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Dai Yuhao, the God of Emotion, sat up straight.

The first time was when I was in Dou Two.

He had to confront the fact that, in his own memory, he should know nothing, but in reality, he seemed to know everything.

The second hand of the clock is ticking away.

The pressure, like that of the deep sea, filled every inch of space.

Because a dish had just been served.

Cooking also takes time.

Therefore, at this moment, time is stretched almost infinitely, and the so-called breaking point seems to be something that is far, far away.

However, even under such pressure!

Huo Yuhao's back remained ramrod straight!

Sweat dripped from his forehead.

It settled between his brows.

Hidden by layers of eyebrows

This temporarily eliminates the risk of the substance slipping into the eye.

Even so, the cold touch did not distract Huo Yuhao!

His gaze met directly into that of Dai Yuhao God of Emotion!

In mid-air, neither gave an inch!

In the end, it was Dai Yuhao, the God of Emotion, who was first moved by compassion. Looking at this stubborn version of himself he hadn't seen for many years, a version that only existed in his memory, he was momentarily dazed, subconsciously averting his gaze, and smiled faintly, "It seems that you now know a lot of things you shouldn't know at this time... In that case, I was too hasty, because judging from you now, you don't need my guidance or experience... But on the other hand, this is also a good thing for me. No matter what the future holds, at least I know you will follow my old path again... As for the remaining three relationships, do you still want to hear from me?"

"Of course I'll listen. If you're still willing to talk..." Huo Yuhao also took a step back, no longer pressing his gaze against his Dou Three Star System self. He gestured to the dishes on the table and said with measured composure, "The purpose of experience is to help people avoid detours. Perhaps the answer I ultimately arrive at isn't correct, but at least I won't choose an answer that's obviously wrong. Although saying this might be a bit harsh and make you uncomfortable, your failure can indeed help me eliminate some wrong options."

"You really aren't being polite..."

Dai Yuhao, the God of Emotion, coughed twice, digesting the information slightly.

As Huo Yuhao said.

Those words really hit home.

That pierced his heart.

It wasn't too painful, really.

But if you say nothing's wrong, you're just faking it.

It's like having a fishbone stuck in your throat, unable to go up or down.

However, we need to find something to eat to quench our thirst.

So they gradually swallowed it.

So, it's okay if you get stuck on this topic. As long as the next topic is big enough, you can naturally choke on the hurtful feeling of this topic. "My second relationship was with a girl named Ju Zi. She was my senior when I was an exchange student at the Sun Moon Empire Royal Soul Engineer Academy. She was also the first girl who made my heart flutter, and moreover... the mother of my first child."

"Cough cough cough!"

This time, it was Huo Yuhao's turn to cough.

Honestly.

He had imagined a thousand potential partners, including Ning Tian, Lan Susu sisters, Wu Feng, Nanmen Yun'er, Zhu Lu, Xi Xi, and others.

I never thought of Ju Zi.

Of course, I didn't think about anyone else either.

For example, Jiang Nannan, Wang Dong'er, and Zhang Lexuan, etc.

In short, she's a girl connected to Ye Qingcang.

It's not that he's afraid of Ye Qingcang.

It's not that he has any sense of humility.

It's simply because their relationship is limited to the normal friendship stage.

Like Jiang Nannan.

To him, she was like an older sister.

Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya, in particular, have a good relationship.

She's my best friend.

Even from Teacher Xiao Ya's perspective.

From Bei Bei's perspective.

The generational order doesn't match up either.

He's not some teddy bear who gets lustful at first sight.

Therefore, he never imagined that he could get involved with Sister Ju Zi.

He wasn't quite sure before.

But after the Second Division match...

He followed Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er.

I had met this Sister Ju Zi when I went to join in the fun and congratulate Ye Qingcang.

At first glance, it was just average.

At most, his appearance is what he likes.

At the time, he didn't know much either.

All I know is that this beautiful-looking woman is Brother Ye's right-hand woman.

She is no less important than Sister Wei.

So, everyone just calls her "sister".

But as soon as he stepped outside, he saw Xu Tianran, the current emperor of the Sun Moon Empire, standing respectfully outside the door, asking Sister Ju Zi if he could go in to see Brother Ye. He instantly realized what kind of person this gentle sister in the private room was.

Xu Tianran is just a puppet.

She was a puppet in the hands of his "Ju Zi Sister".

This is no longer a question of whether he wants to or not, but whether he deserves it. After all, Brother Ye once said something very interesting to him, "An awl placed in a bag will naturally show its tip." It means that truly talented people, those who reach the level of being outstanding, even if they blend into the crowd and seem mediocre at the beginning, will eventually be noticed by the world.

So, he's really curious now.

What exactly are Dou Three's abilities?

How could such a strong, capable woman like him possibly take a liking to him?

Even having children for oneself?

Or perhaps Brother Ye's starting point was too high, and Sister Ju Zi wasn't actually that strong. She was simply promoted to her current position by Brother Ye, and there were some inside stories he might not know, which led him to misjudge her and think that Sister Ju Zi was a very capable person.
