Preparing to Obtain His Second Martial Soul (Please Keep Reading) (1 / 2)

Fully dressed, Ling Luochеn regained her noble, icy bearing, though she now carried a little more womanly charm. Her strength had recovered, and her injuries had mostly healed. She could just barely muster her soul power to withstand the extreme cold.

With the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's capture successful, part of his shed skin returned to Huo Yuhao, immediately warming him up as well.

"Ling Luochеn, let's go!"

"All right!"

Although Ling Luochеn did not know what Huo Yuhao had come to do, anything involving the core region of the Far North had to be a grand undertaking.

Despite Huo Yuhao's low strength, Ling Luochеn always felt that he was mysterious, and that weighed heavily on her mind.

Before, she might have let it go, but after their intimate exchange, their relationship had reached an entirely different level. Ling Luochеn wanted to learn more about Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao felt the same way, but this clearly was not the time to chat. The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm could not keep the Ice Empress trapped for long, so he had to settle this quickly.

Racing across the snow with Ling Luochеn, he spent a full twelve hours-half a day-running from the core region to the outskirts.

There was no real danger here anymore, so Huo Yuhao could finally relax. "I have to go, but don't worry. I'm not the sort of man who shirks his responsibilities. I'll come find you at Shrek."

"What?"

Hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Ling Luochеn froze. She had run all the way here with him, and they were about to leave the Far North. When he said he had to go, did he mean he was not leaving with her?

Ling Luochеn blinked her beautiful eyes, her expression growing even colder. "You don't want to leave with me?"

Looking at her exquisite face, Huo Yuhao smiled and took her hand.

Although Ling Luochеn resisted a little, she did not reject him. Seeing that, Huo Yuhao pushed his luck, gently pulling her into his arms before kissing her red lips under her startled gaze.

"Don't worry. I won't run away. I'll take responsibility for you. There's something I have to do now. If I don't, I'll regret it for the rest of my life."

"Is it that important?"

Ling Luochеn did not resist Huo Yuhao. Women were like that: once a man had possessed them, everything became terribly passive.

"Yes, it's very important."

"Is it dangerous?"

Ling Luochеn continued asking.

"Of course there's danger, but I have confidence in myself."

"Then that's fine. Huo Yuhao, don't die. And one more thing: if you want to kiss me next time, you'll have to beat me first."

Huo Yuhao's eyes immediately lit up at her words, because they were both an expression of her concern for him and a promise between them.

He hurriedly seized the chance to kiss her again. "Don't worry. The next time we meet, I'll kiss you fair and square."

With that, Huo Yuhao vanished in an instant.

Seeing this, Ling Luochеn froze again. There was no sign of Huo Yuhao anywhere she could see. Moreover, her woman's sixth sense told her that he had already disappeared from the Far North.

It seemed Huo Yuhao was anything but ordinary. He actually had a skill that let him teleport freely from one region to another. And after doing that with him, her cultivation had shot up five levels, which she also found utterly baffling.

She was certain that intimacy between a man and a woman could not increase cultivation, so the explanation still lay with Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao had many secrets, but she would have to wait until their next meeting to learn about them.

At the same time, Ling Luochеn suddenly realized something. Since Huo Yuhao could leave whenever he wanted, he had spent all this time staying with her through her suffering.

Although Huo Yuhao had reaped tremendous benefits, Ling Luochеn was still deeply moved. It seemed she had already begun to accept him.

Still, she did not yet know what sort of person Huo Yuhao truly was. They had known each other for too short a time, and she could not draw conclusions about certain things too soon.

Besides, this was not the time to think about such things. Three days had already passed since she encountered the blizzard. She had to find her younger brother, Ling Xiao.

Somewhere at sea on the Douluo Continent.

Huo Yuhao abruptly appeared in the Six-Winged Blood Angel's body, only to be stunned by the sight before him.

Where had this phantom body flown over the past month? This was the sea, wasn't it?

This was just ridiculous.

Huo Yuhao had sent the Six-Winged Angel phantom body to Shrek Academy and the Glazed Divine Fire Eyes phantom body to the Heaven Dou Empire. As for the Six-Winged Blood Angel, he had simply let him fly wherever he pleased.

After all, his Blood Angel phantom body possessed a martial soul of the utmost evil. On the Douluo Continent, evil soul masters were hunted by everyone, so he most likely could not join any normal faction.

As for factions belonging to evil soul masters, Huo Yuhao had never heard of any. After all, with Shrek Academy overseeing the continent, there were basically no evil soul masters committing atrocities anymore.

Shrek Academy had done an excellent job in that regard.

It was just as outstanding as Spirit Hall, and he was very satisfied.

In any case, with a righteous organization like Shrek Academy around, his Six-Winged Blood Angel phantom body probably would not find a faction to join. He could only be a lone wanderer.

But how could Huo Yuhao have known that Shrek Academy was gold and jade on the outside, rotten cotton within? Their oversight of the continent amounted to nothing. Not only did the evil soul masters have a powerful organization, they even had two Limit Douluos.

Huo Yuhao was falling apart inside. He had told the Blood Angel phantom body to fly wherever he pleased, and he had actually flown out to sea. He was speechless.

Yet he could not choose either of the other two. After all, the Six-Winged Angel and Glazed Divine Fire Eyes phantom bodies were both in human cities now. The Six-Winged Angel phantom body was in Shrek City, waiting for admissions to begin in a month.

Meanwhile, the Glazed Divine Fire Eyes phantom body was currently hauling bricks in Heaven Dou City in the Heaven Dou Empire.

Only the Six-Winged Blood Angel phantom body was suitable for teleporting to. Although he was out at sea, at least it was quiet.

No one would disturb him.

Actually, Huo Yuhao had originally intended to settle this in the Far North. But even though Ling Luochеn had already become his woman, the fewer people who knew about something like this, the better.

Ever since the bloody lesson he had learned from Bibi Dong, Huo Yuhao had grown increasingly cautious. He swore that before doing anything, he would lay his plans before making his move.

Still, after working so hard for so long, it was finally time to enjoy the fruits of his labor. He would soon obtain his second martial soul, along with the soul ring and soul bone of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, 390,000 Years.

Huo Yuhao drew the Six-Winged Blood Angel phantom body into his martial soul space, then summoned an enormous pair of Six-Winged Blood Angel wings behind him.

They helped him take to the air and hover above the sea.

Under the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's control, a golden speck of light flew out of his spiritual sea of consciousness.

The moment it appeared, the speck expanded into a golden cage, with the Ice Empress's figure plainly visible inside.
