Shi Hao Held the Willow Deity in His Arms, Stirring a Trace of Strange Feelings in Her Heart (Please Bookmark)

The moment Shi Hao began comprehending the Original True Interpretation: God Guidance Chapter, the environment around him seemed to fall silent. Like an immovable boulder, he sat quietly at the center of that green world.

The tall, alluring Willow Deity stood before him, her beautiful eyes as deep as the sea as she silently watched him.

The green vegetation around them seemed to cheer for Shi Hao's sudden enlightenment. A gentle breeze swept past, making the green leaves sway softly like a hymn of nature.

Shi Hao's body and mind were completely immersed in the world of the Original True Interpretation. He seemed to see the essence of soul power—a vague and ethereal existence that nonetheless contained endless strength. He felt his soul power rapidly growing like a raging flood. Within mere minutes, his soul power had unexpectedly broken through to level forty, level fifty, level sixty...

However, because he had not obtained any Soul Rings, that soul power was temporarily stored within his body.

A moment later, Shi Hao opened his eyes, a flash of understanding glinting within them. He felt incomparably stronger than before. It was a sensation he had never experienced. He seemed able to perceive everything around him and even sense the flow of every thread of soul power inside his body.

The Willow Deity looked at Shi Hao's face, and a trace of gratification flashed through her eyes.

She extended a long, slender finger and gently tapped Shi Hao's forehead. Her voice was soft yet solemn.

"I have seen through the Pocket World you inhabit. This is a world of martial souls. Yet you have not awakened a powerful martial soul. That is the gap between you and Tang San, the child of destiny. Since that is the case, I shall give you a willow branch and let it become your second martial soul."

As the Willow Deity's words fell, Shi Hao felt an immense, ancient power surge into his body. Faintly, he saw that willow branch.

The willow branch was slender and elegant, pale green in color. Its tip curved slightly, like a sharp sword. Its leaves were delicate and elongated, like fine emerald feathers swaying softly and radiating a sacred aura.

That willow branch had already merged into Shi Hao's body. He could sense the supreme sword intent of the Great Dao contained within it.

It was an aura both fierce and sacred, as though it could pierce through all things and accomplish anything.

Shi Hao's heart was filled with excitement and gratitude. He knew this was the second martial soul bestowed upon him by the Willow Deity.

Looking at the tall, alluring, and sacred Willow Deity before him, he was unable to express his wild joy in words.

The Willow Deity was also gazing at Shi Hao, who was a head shorter than her. Her figure was slender and graceful, gently swaying in the breeze. Her skin was fair as jade, smooth and flawless. Her pale green gown fluttered lightly, revealing an elegant and mysterious temperament.

The Willow Deity's face was even more indescribably beautiful. Her features were delicate and refined, while her clear eyes were as deep as a lake. Her light brows curved upward slightly, giving her an air of majesty without losing her gentleness.

Her lips were rosy and slightly upturned in a faint smile, as though they held endless compassion and wisdom.

Dressed in black, Shi Hao possessed an equally handsome and refined face. His sword-like brows and starry eyes gave him an imposing heroic air. His black hair drifted in the wind like black flames burning, though his figure was somewhat slender rather than tall and imposing.

"Thank you for granting me my second martial soul, Willow Deity..."

Overcome with emotion, Shi Hao suddenly rushed forward and tightly embraced the tall, alluring Willow Deity. His arms wrapped firmly around her slender waist, as if he wanted to meld her into his very life.

The sudden embrace startled the Willow Deity slightly, but she was not angry.

At that moment, a faint smile appeared on her sacred face. Her eyes were filled with warmth, as though she were looking upon her own child.

"I did not expect the Shi Hao of this Pocket World to be even bolder than the one over there. In that case, I shall also pass on to him several Divine Techniques that Shi Hao over there learned. As for whether he can comprehend them, that will depend on his own fortune."

The Willow Deity gently raised her hand. Her fingers were slender, supple, and beautiful as jade as they softly stroked Shi Hao's cheek. The warmth from her fingertips made Shi Hao feel intoxicated.

At this moment, the Willow Deity seemed to sense a strange resonance between herself and this man. Even though only her avatar had descended into this world, she could still feel a peculiar sensation rising in her heart.

What was the reason for this? Naturally, it was the Contract System that had caused the two of them to resonate, though the Willow Deity had not noticed the subtle changes in her heart.

At this moment, Shi Hao's forehead rested against the Willow Deity's chin. He closed his eyes and savored this brief warmth.

He felt that the Willow Deity's embrace was incomparably warm and comfortable, as though all exhaustion and troubles had melted away in that hug.

He could not help but say, "Master... thank you." It was gratitude and reverence from the depths of his heart. Then, his consciousness gradually blurred as he fell into a deep dream.

The Willow Deity looked at the sleeping Shi Hao, her eyes filled with tenderness.

She lowered her head to look down at Shi Hao. Under the green light, his handsome face appeared even more resolute and profound. His black hair lay casually across his fair forehead, adding a touch of carefree charm.

The Willow Deity gently stroked his hair, an inexplicable emotion rising in her heart.

With a flick of her delicate hand, the Willow Deity transformed Shi Hao's black clothes into a dashing white robe. The white robe was light and flowing, as pure and flawless as clouds.

This change transformed Shi Hao's entire bearing, making him even more handsome and otherworldly.

Only after doing all this did the Willow Deity gently release Shi Hao, allowing him to leave her embrace.

The Willow Deity turned and walked toward the boundless void. Her figure looked ethereal and sacred beneath the moonlight. She was about to step into a spatial rift and enter another unknown world.

Yet at that moment, she could not help but turn back for one more look at Shi Hao. That glance was filled with deep complexity and longing, as though she were saying, "I will wait for you, wait for you to come to my world."

She resolutely turned around and vanished into the spatial rift, leaving only the dashing young man in white lying quietly on the ground beneath the moonlight, enjoying the lingering warmth left behind by that comfortable embrace.

At this moment, the entire world seemed to fall silent. Only the faint moonlight shone upon Shi Hao's face, like the protection of a deity.

After an unknown amount of time, when Shi Hao opened his eyes again, he discovered that he had returned to his home in Tiangeng City. In his right hand, a brilliant willow branch filled with emerald light had appeared at some point, tightly clenched between his fingers.

"This... this is the second martial soul bestowed upon me by the Willow Deity?"

Seeing the willow branch that contained the supreme sword intent of the Great Dao, Shi Hao immediately understood. His heart stirred, and he shouted at once.

"In that case, I shall call you: Sword of the Willow Deity..."
