Then Xue Ke asked Huo Yuhao teasingly, "How long do you think you slept?"
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao had initially wanted to say that he had slept for ten years or so. After all, judging from the scenes of events on the Douluo Continent that Xue Ke had shown him earlier, the battle of the two gods had long since ended, and the seven gods had ascended.
