Huo Yuhao's Little Wish

Bright Half-Plane

Huo Yuhao lay on the beach of the Bright Sea, basking in its radiant light, while Seven-Color ran and crawled around beside him on bare feet, trying to catch his attention.

Bathed in that sacred radiance, Huo Yuhao felt as though even his soul had been purified.

He had been in this world for over a year and had never celebrated a birthday, but he was already past eleven.

In the original story, only now had he met Brother Sky Dream and Elder Yi, encountered Xiao Ya and Bei Bei-the two benefactors who changed his life-gained the opportunity to study at Shrek Academy, and gotten to know Wang Dong, the girl who disguised herself as a boy, understood nothing, yet loved him desperately.

Yet in this life, at this very moment, he was already invincible?

From now on, Tang San's threat would no longer hang over his head. If Tang San dared provoke him, he would make sure Tang San came and never returned.

It truly left him sighing with emotion!

In the original story, he had lived his whole life under other people's arrangements, from birth to burial. Even his marriage had been arranged; he had never had the right to choose anything.

But now, he had both the right and the strength to pursue happiness of his own.

He had the right to choose the life he wanted to live.

Once he had avenged "Huo Yuhao" and cleared away the resentment and negative emotions in his heart, he would resurrect his mother.

Once the dust had settled, perhaps he would continue traveling the continent, building his strength and broadening his horizons. Perhaps he would discuss the true essence of magic with Electrolux, or perhaps he would wipe out the Holy Spirit Cult, that notorious headquarters of Evil Soul Masters.

When he grew up and reached a suitable age, he would find a suitable girl to marry, with his mother Huo Yun'er and Electrolux witnessing their wedding, and start a family. As for children, he would have ten. He would have his sons and daughters call Electrolux their great-grandfather and let Huo Yun'er enjoy the happiness of family life.

As for the location, Luoyun Village would do. That kind, simple village made him feel comfortable.

Although he had only lived there for a little over two months, Huo Yuhao had already grown fond of it. Over those two months, Old Zhang the blacksmith, Granny Xia the vegetable seller, the warmhearted village chief... all had won his affection.

Becoming Luoyun Village's chief someday seemed pretty good, too. That was a fine idea. He would outlive the village chief, then run for the position and become the village's local tyrant.

Right, there was also the little mute, that extraordinary Child of Destiny. With him handling everything on the continent, Huo Yuhao could enjoy some peace and leisure.

Huo Yuhao had been an ordinary person in his previous life, and after transmigrating, he only wanted to live an ordinary person's life.

Just thinking about all of it made Huo Yuhao feel blissfully happy.

As he thought, he fell into a deep sleep for the first time. The smile at the corners of his mouth showed that he was having a beautiful dream.

Unfortunately, eight or nine things out of ten in life failed to go as one wished. He was destined to walk a lonely path of invincibility.

Meanwhile, in another corner of the Star Dou Great Forest, Zhang Lexuan had finished absorbing her Soul Ring.

It had taken her several days to barely manage to absorb this hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring. Moreover, although her Soul Power had risen to rank eighty-two afterward, her body had suffered considerable damage. Even after taking plenty of Shrek Academy's miraculous medicines, she remained pale, without a trace of color in her face.

"Lexuan, there's no time to lose. Let's hurry back to the academy and have Elder Zhuang treat you. Delaying too long will seriously affect your future."

Naturally, Xuan Zi meant Elder Zhuang, the Super Douluo at Shrek Academy whose Martial Soul was the Tree of Life.

But faced with Xuan Zi's concern, Zhang Lexuan only shook her head stubbornly.

"Xuan Zi, I need to go somewhere to check on something. If I don't, I'll never have peace of mind for the rest of my life."

Xuan Zi grew anxious, but this was the first time he had seen such an expression on Zhang Lexuan's face, and the first time the sensible, well-behaved girl had pleaded with him. His heart softened.

"Lexuan, I'll go with you. In your current condition, I can't rest easy."

"Xuan Zi, I'm only going to look around an ordinary little village. Although I'm badly injured, I still have the strength of a Soul Douluo. Ordinary people can't do anything to me, so don't worry about my safety!"

Zhang Lexuan rejected Xuan Zi's offer to accompany her because, deep down, she instinctively did not want Huo Yuhao and Xuan Zi to meet.

After Zhang Lexuan refused repeatedly, Xuan Zi could only nod his agreement. Watching her figure gradually recede, he let out a deep sigh and decided to escort the other students out of the Star Dou Great Forest first, then follow her.

"Ah, what a mess this is!"

Star Luo Empire, Starlight Auction House.

Dressed in a long golden gown with openwork gold detailing, Xu Jiujiu was examining a medicinal herb brimming with vitality. A maid stood before her, reporting something.

"So Zero has completely taken control of the Evil Dragon Cult? Oh, no, publicly it should be the Holy Dragon Cult."

Xu Jiujiu did not raise her head, almost as though she were talking to herself.

"Yes, Your Highness. Just yesterday, she gained complete control of the Holy Dragon Cult and became its new leader."

Mentioning Zero seemed to bring a slight change to Xu Jiujiu's mood.

"Although she had our help, and some of the Holy Dragon Cult's core members were already dead, for a mere Soul Ancestor to subjugate a group of Soul Emperors and Soul Saints still takes extraordinary talent."

Xu Jiujiu was referring to Zero, who had awakened the Evil Dragon Martial Soul. Several months earlier, Zero had taken the IOU and token Huo Yuhao had given her to Star Luo City, visiting the Starlight Auction House to redeem the Spirit-Devouring Blood Blade and Gold Soul Coins. Xu Jiujiu had thought Huo Yuhao had arrived, but after hurrying over, she discovered that the visitor was not Huo Yuhao, but a White-Haired Witch several times more beautiful than herself.

She had been furious at the time.

But clever as she was, she had not only given Zero everything, but also warmly entertained her.

Following Huo Yuhao's arrangements, Zero had also told Xu Jiujiu about the Evil Dragon Gate and sought her cooperation.

As it turned out, Xu Jiujiu really was intelligent. Rather than getting angry, she had generously agreed.

Huo Yuhao had calculated all of this. He had wagered that Xu Jiujiu would not easily give up on a genius like him, and that she would help Zero.

He had been even more confident in betting that Xu Jiujiu would not allow an Evil Soul Master sect to run rampant within the Star Luo Empire.

Zero's results had been gratifying. With her Evil Dragon Martial Soul, some of Evil Dragon's tokens, and Xu Jiujiu's assistance, she had ultimately taken complete control of this Evil Soul Master branch that had swaggered across the Star Luo Empire.

As for what gave Huo Yuhao the confidence to arrange this, his reasons were more than sufficient: Evil Dragon's superior was Tiger Scorpion Douluo Zhang Peng.

No matter how bad things became, Zero's life would not be in danger.

And Zhang Peng was also one of Huo Yuhao's targets.

"So there's still no news of him?" Xu Jiujiu suddenly stopped what she was doing and asked.

"Your Highness, the boy you mentioned has not come to the Star Luo Empire at all over these past few months. Our people have kept watch day and night, and our spies in the Holy Dragon Cult haven't sent back any useful information either."

"Huo Yuhao, oh, Huo Yuhao, just who are you? What is Zero to you? How strong are you now? Have you already forgotten me?"

Xu Jiujiu had far too many questions to ask Huo Yuhao. Moreover, she missed him terribly. That boy, so much younger than her, had captured her heart with a single unintentional flirtation.

She felt as though she were ill, because whenever she thought of Huo Yuhao, her whole body grew hot, her face flushed, and her heart raced.

At the same time, she had developed an intense jealousy toward Zero!

Luoyun Village, on the Star Luo Empire's border.

The village streets were unusually empty and quiet. Apart from the unsightly corpses of a few large yellow dogs that had died brutally, they were surprisingly tidy.

Yet despite the blazing sun, the entire village was bitterly cold, and its stench reached the heavens, making it almost impossible to breathe.

Over a week had passed since Luoyun Village had been massacred, but because it lay on the empire's most remote border, no one had discovered it. Except, of course, for certain perverts-certain filthy rats born to deal with the dead, with extraordinarily keen noses!

"Ah, what an intoxicating scent. I've only just entered the Star Luo Empire, and already I'm welcomed with such a delicacy. What bliss!"

At the village entrance, a hunched, bald old man reeking of corpses lay on the ground with an enraptured expression, greedily sniffing the corpse stench that had settled there. At the same time, he stared at the empty street before him, greed filling his eyes.

His pitch-black eyes clearly saw the souls of the undead wandering the streets. Moreover, the energy of these souls was astonishingly pure. He nearly fainted from happiness.

He immediately released his pitch-black Martial Soul, a Long-Tongued Female Corpse. Her hair hung in wild disarray, and numerous little human-head-shaped lumps bulged from her head, all produced by the souls she had absorbed.

Of the six Soul Rings beneath his feet-one yellow, three purple, and two black-the fourth, black Soul Ring flashed. The Long-Tongued Female Corpse opened her mouth as wide as it would go and greedily sucked in the souls in the air. The tremendous suction tore the village houses to pieces.

But in the next instant, the Long-Tongued Female Corpse beside the hunched old man suddenly shattered, letting out a piercing scream before disappearing completely.

Caught off guard, the Evil Soul Master wanted to flee, but suddenly found himself unable to move. The instantaneous destruction of his Martial Soul had severely wounded his soul, and he felt a terrifying, suffocating pressure bearing down on him like a tidal wave.

Not only could he not move, he could not even breathe.

The Evil Soul Master stared ahead in terror and discovered a black-haired figure in black robes who had suddenly appeared before him. With narrowed eyes, the figure regarded him as though looking at a dead thing.

Then he heard a voice devoid of emotion, utterly flat, yet chilling to the soul.

"Does seeing dead people make you that happy?"

Thank you all for your monthly tickets, tips, investments, recommendation votes, and bookmarks. Thank you so much for your support.

A new author with a new book, on my knees begging for everything-please keep reading.

There will only be one update this morning for now; I'll post again tonight. Mainly, there was a conflict in the setting, so I scrapped it and started over. It's a lot of work.

I got carried away writing and killed Xuan Zi, but when I read it myself, I realized that would turn the protagonist into a villain, so I made major revisions.
