As for Yu Xiaogang.
Actually, he was not the core target of Bibi Dong's step-by-step descent into madness; at best, he was merely an unhealed scar deep within her heart.
A brainless romantic?!
Compared to the trauma Bibi Dong had endured and her desire to change her own destiny, it was truly not worth mentioning.
It was simply that she lost in the end.
After spending time with her, Huo Yuhao felt that Bibi Dong actually did not need to be whitewashed on purpose. Her destiny was somewhat similar to Jiang Nannan's, as both came from humble backgrounds and were forced to have their bodies violated, ultimately being driven into the very shapes they least wanted to see. It was just that Jiang Nannan did not possess such great power herself, so she would not go as crazy as Bibi Dong.
Now it seemed that their group had truly become the Avengers Alliance.
"Huo Yuhao!"
Just as Huo Yuhao was lost in thought, a resentful, soft snort came from behind. "Why didn't you go to the Spirit Hall Academy today!"
Qiu'er?!
Hearing the familiar voice, Huo Yuhao's tightly furrowed brows instantly smoothed out.
Before Huo Yuhao could even speak, Wang Qiu'er arrived by his side, then proceeded to sit down beside him, saying with a trace of grievance, "What are you looking at? What kind of daze are you in all by yourself here?"
Their eyes met.
The atmosphere suddenly turned ambiguous at this moment.
"Of course I was thinking of you."
Huo Yuhao boldly shifted his body, inching closer and closer to Wang Qiu'er until their arms brushed against each other before he stopped.
He... was he sweet-talking her again?
Wang Qiu'er, who had still been wearing the expression of a petty, aggrieved woman, instantly collapsed in her psychological construction. Facing the increasingly bold Huo Yuhao, her heartbeat grew faster and faster. No, she thought, wasn't I here to call him to account?
Where was the temper she had just worked up?
Why had it vanished!
Wang Qiu'er could not help swallowing a nervous mouthful of saliva, her breath unstable as she trembled and said, "You... get lost... why are you leaning so close?"
Zero resistance.
Wang Qiu'er at this moment had practically zero resistance against Huo Yuhao, who had completely let himself go. Originally, she had come to settle scores, but the atmosphere had collapsed in under a minute.
In the end, Wang Qiu'er could only say resentfully, "How on earth did you end up fighting the Lord today?"
"It was just a spar and test, of course."
The corners of Huo Yuhao's mouth lifted slightly, and he looked with a smile at Wang Qiu'er, whose face was full of worry, as he said, "The Beast God was testing whether I am worthy of their Qiu'er, but fortunately, the result left her very satisfied."
As these words fell, Wang Qiu'er's face instantly turned crimson, her earlobes also turning red with shyness of their own accord.
This guy... when did he learn to talk nonsense with such a straight face?
Did he have to be so smooth?
"You must be worried about the Dual Gods Plan, right?"
Wang Qiu'er parted her red lips slightly and said calmly, "Yuhao, I understand you. You've never wanted me to get involved in your plan; you want to protect me from the bottom of your heart, right..."
She saw right through him after all.
Huo Yuhao's heart stirred, and he thought that Qiu'er always understood him so well.
She was right; Huo Yuhao had never wanted Wang Qiu'er to take part in the plan because he was afraid that if he failed one day, the tragedy of ten thousand years later would repeat itself.
Precisely because he had experienced it once, he lacked the courage to experience it a second time.
Even when Huo Yuhao became a god in the future, throughout the endless years to come, his inner heart would always retain the scar of Wang Qiu'er's sacrifice-a kind of void that could never be filled.
Looking at Qiu'er, who was so close at hand, an inexplicable agitation welled up in Huo Yuhao's heart.
Qiu'er was simply too sensible.
"Huo Yuhao!"
Seeing that Huo Yuhao remained silent, Wang Qiu'er's little temper flared up instantly once more. "Don't forget that the two of us are bound by fate. Don't always think about carrying everything by yourself! I'm not even afraid of dying for you, so do you really think I'm afraid of sharing your pressure? At worst, I'll just die ag-"
Before she could finish, Huo Yuhao reached out and blocked Wang Qiu'er's red lips.
He did not want to hear the word "die" ever again.
This girl's temper was still as direct and fiery as ever.
Their eyes met.
The atmosphere suddenly turned ambiguous once again at this moment.
Wang Qiu'er's heartbeat grew faster and faster, and she instantly snapped back to reality, having a lingering sense that that guy was about to take advantage of the opportunity to make a move.
Thinking of this, Wang Qiu'er could not help swallowing a mouthful of saliva, and hurriedly changed the subject. "Th-That... Yuhao! Look at the moonlight tonight, isn't it beautiful?"
Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up, and then he leaned close to Wang Qiu'er once again, looking at her with an intoxicated gaze as he said, "Mmm~ It's really beautiful~"
Wang Qiu'er was stunned for a moment, her pretty face flushing instantly, the red spreading all the way to her ears.
What was beautiful?
Was the moonlight beautiful or was she beautiful? Why was he leaning in so close again?
With just a single action from Huo Yuhao, Wang Qiu'er was sent fluttering like a trembling flower. After all, she had never enjoyed Huo Yuhao's tenderness before, and this really proved a bit too much for her to handle.
W-Was Huo... Huo Yuhao flirting with her again? Wang Qiu'er had zero experience when it came to matters of the heart, yet deep down, she did not seem to reject this feeling at all; instead, there were even some other emotions mixed in.
At this thought, Wang Qiu'er's heartbeat accelerated even more, and her face grew even redder.
"This moonlight really is very beautiful!" Huo Yuhao could not help laughing.
Wang Qiu'er was slightly startled, so nervous that she began digging her fingernails into her thigh.
After a long while.
Confirming that Huo Yuhao had no further actions in store, Wang Qiu'er let out a secret sigh of relief. Actually, she had already mentally prepared herself to be bullied.
"Yuhao, I'm serious. In the future, let me carry whatever happens together with you."
Wang Qiu'er spoke up once more. "Rest assured, I won't hold you back. I plan to make a breakthrough to the Titled Douluo realm within five years; that way, when the two of us use our Martial Soul Fusion Skill again, it will be completely different. You should know that if something happens to you, it's impossible for me to survive alone..."
Before she finished speaking, Huo Yuhao reached out and pinched her little mouth once again. Then he said with a completely serious expression, "Qiu'er, I understand everything..."
Wang Qiu'er stared blankly at Huo Yuhao, her original iciness melting completely at that moment.
Facing Huo Yuhao's gentleness.
Wang Qiu'er's gaze flickered evasively. She also knew that Huo Yuhao was about to enter secluded cultivation, and in truth, she still had a bellyful of words she wanted to pour out to him.
It was just that she did not want to put too much pressure on him either.
When the words reached her lips, she once again did not know how to voice them.
Lowering her head in a rare display not seen once in ten thousand years, Wang Qiu'er twisted her fingers together and suddenly asked, "Yuhao, has Dong'er ever kissed you of her own accord?"
"Ah?"
The corners of Huo Yuhao's eyes twitched wildly twice, thinking to himself why Qiu'er was bringing up Dong'er again.
A question like this! Fatal!
Though come to think of it, back then Tang San that fellow had watched them so closely; the only time they had kissed was to seal their relationship at the Sea God's Fate blind date event, and other than that, there truly had never been another time.
As for Wang Dong'er kissing him of her own accord, it probably happened when she fed him medicine while he was heavily wounded, but at that time he had been completely unconscious, so that didn't really count, right?
"Rest assured, I don't mean anything else by it."
Wang Qiu'er also saw Huo Yuhao's awkwardness and couldn't help smiling. "You said it yourself, no matter what happens in the future after ten thousand years, for these ten thousand years you belong to me!"
"Yours?" Huo Yuhao was overjoyed.
"Not yet!"
Wang Qiu'er only then realized she had let slip a secret. Immediately, her pretty face turned as red as a ripe, glowing red apple. "Aiya! This is such a mess!"
At last.
Wang Qiu'er grabbed Huo Yuhao by the collar and suddenly yanked him forward. "Get over here!"
Huo Yuhao: "What are you... Mm..."
Before you continue
