Huh, Is It Still Too Late to Make Peace?

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's ten golden soul rings immediately began to pulse, swiftly enveloping Huo Yuhao's body. Its own form turned into streams of white radiance that slowly seeped into her. He had already done this once in his previous life, so with experience, he was now completely at ease.

"Damn! One ring already has Soul King-level Spiritual Power? Is that for real? Even if a Spiritual Rhyme Sea Urchin ate until it puked, one ring would at most reach Soul Ancestor level. My Yuhao—no, my Little Huo's Spirit Eye Martial Soul is this absurd? Did I ruin him by raising him before?"

"Never mind that. I need to put a few seals on myself first."

Looking at this incomparably vast Sea of Consciousness, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm grinned so hard its mouth was practically splitting. Even her Spiritual Power was already this formidable. With the boost from his soul ring, wouldn't she directly rival a Soul Emperor?

Woohoo, what a wonderful beginning. Cheer for me, applaud me.

At the same time, the bright sky suddenly darkened. A thunderous boom erupted, and immense pressure descended from the heavens.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm could not help looking up at the sky. To witness this scene once more, it could no longer suppress the bittersweet emotions brewing in its heart.

The next moment, a gray Air Current rapidly fell from the sky, shooting into Huo Yuhao's body like lightning.

An aged voice rang out with indescribable majesty. "With sun and moon in hand, I pluck the stars. There is none like me in this world. I never thought this old man would still manage to preserve a wisp of his remnant soul."

After entering Huo Yuhao's mind, the gray Air Current immediately transformed into a Gray Pearl no larger than a soybean and fell dormant.

Upon hearing the old man's voice, Huo Yuhao's expression immediately turned somewhat strange. If this had been her first time hearing it, she would surely have been deeply shaken, feeling that there truly existed someone so proud and lofty in this world.

But after Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had said the exact same thing earlier, she instead found it inexplicably amusing.

Do all you powerful people like talking this way?

"That is the language of the strong. You should learn it too when you get the chance," Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said righteously, without the slightest embarrassment.

Though it was speaking, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's movements did not slow in the least. The dense white light gradually became more and more solid, while its body turned transparent in the process and rapidly shrank in size. From the moment it began pouring its power into Huo Yuhao's body, there had been no turning back.

But that did not matter. With its experience of living another life, paired with Little Huo's heaven-defying talent and supplemented by its supreme intelligence, it would surely bring the God King an absolute surprise.

"Hehe, I'm running away again! Di Tian, you damned dog-donkey! Give me a dozen or so years to train her up, and I'll come back to beat you up again!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's smug voice gradually faded. The enormous Spiritual Power that had previously covered a radius of a hundred li also contracted at an astonishing speed before finally disappearing.

Just as Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's voice vanished completely, a glimmering white soul ring silently emerged beneath Huo Yuhao, circling her body before slowly fading away.

A faint icy blue color began to emerge beneath Huo Yuhao's skin. After continuing for roughly a dozen seconds, a thin membrane with a pale golden sheen swiftly slipped into her clothes.

Who knew how much time passed. While Huo Yuhao was still somewhat groggy, faint calls echoed by her ears.

The soul ring's enhancement had greatly increased her Spiritual Power, and she immediately woke up. The White Tiger Dagger silently appeared in her hand as her eyes sharpened and she looked over vigilantly.

But when she saw who it was, her expression relaxed, and she even looked a little more adorable. "You-ge, I—"

"Wait, don't tell him about me. We need to keep this secret. Otherwise, if we get captured and researched, we'll be done for," Sky Dream Ice Silkworm hurriedly reminded her. Yet in the next moment, Huo Yuhao recounted everything she had experienced from beginning to end.

Crack—

Within the Sea of Consciousness, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm suddenly felt something break.

Oh, so I cracked. Then it's fine.

At that moment, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm understood something.

Its status and importance in this girl's eyes were absolutely low. What Million Year Soul Beast? It was not worth a single hair.

Or perhaps that boy held an infinitely high place in this girl's heart. She had actually gone to discuss something like this with him at the very first opportunity.

For a moment, it did not know whether it should feel jealous or envious. But when it recalled how Yuhao had once been alone in the Duke's Mansion, lonely and helpless, able to rely only on itself, it felt somewhat relieved to see that she now lived happily and had friends to depend on.

Fine, fine. Since he was the person she trusted most, he should be reliable, right? Otherwise, he could not possibly have rescued Huo Yun'er as well.

"..."

Lin You was dumbfounded as well.

He knew about this matter, so he had to pretend that he did not. That was why he had merely shown ordinary concern. How had this girl spilled everything at once?

However, seeing how seriously the girl recounted her experiences, Lin You's heart suddenly twitched, as though it had been wrapped in warmth.

How could I possibly bear such unconditional trust? How should I respond to your trust? Lin You bitterly smiled to himself.

Now, he could no longer pretend he knew nothing. He could only cough lightly. "You there, Brother Sky Dream?"

"..."

Lin You had a headache, and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was also somewhat embarrassed. One human and one silkworm, separated by the Sea of Consciousness and reality, with Huo Yuhao's body as the boundary, both desperately thought about how they should phrase things.

"Well, Brother is a good person—no, a good bug. Pah, pah, what the hell am I even saying? Anyway, as the unprecedented Intelligence Soul Ring, I bring only benefits and no harm. But I have many enemies, so you absolutely cannot reveal me. Otherwise, this girl is finished. She'll definitely be captured for research. Do you understand what I mean?"

To prevent this master from also being a blabbermouth, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm pleaded and explained desperately, so anxious that its empty head seemed about to start sweating.

"Fine. You may call me Lin You. Judging from your voice, you should be a male white silkworm?"

"Although you entered my sister's Sea of Consciousness as an Intelligence Soul Ring, to be honest, I am very concerned that you may pry into her privacy. I also happen to have a way to deal with you. My parents had ties with the Clear Sky Sect, and they possess a secret technique called Ring Detonation."

"Ring Detonation means exactly what it sounds like: detonating soul rings. If Huo Yuhao ever feels uneasy from being watched, I will immediately go to the Clear Sky Sect. Once you lose the soul ring vessel anchored in her Sea of Consciousness, I need not explain the consequences. I hope you will not see us, an orphaned mother and her children, as easy targets and turn us into puppets of soul beasts. The human race will never be slaves."

Lin You's unhurried voice softly exploded beside Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's ear like thunder!

Immediately afterward, Huo Yuhao gave Lin You a strange glance at his casually invented claim of ties with the Clear Sky Sect, then played along in perfect harmony. "That's right. My Pupil Power is unaffected by your Spiritual Power. It is a unique power that belongs to me alone. I have now planted an Illusion Technique within myself. If you ever forcibly control me, the Illusion Technique will activate. At that time, I will kill myself, and you will perish with me! We siblings are not so easily bullied!"

Watching the two siblings echo each other, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was utterly stunned.

What terrified it even more was that the words "Clear Sky Sect" had actually come from their mouths!

Thanks to boss Qianmeng Ruwei Zichenxing for the five monthly tickets.

Sorry, I really can't figure out what kind of personality a feminized Tian Meng would have, and I'm afraid of making a mess of it, so I wrote him according to his original personality.
