Inside Huo Yuhao's villa, warm-colored Soul Guidance Lamp shone into the living room, illuminating the unique faces of the five girls.
Huo Yuhao stood before them, his expression gentle yet tinged with apology:
"I'm sorry, tonight's events may have caused you trouble."
He paused, his gaze sweeping over each face, his voice low and sincere:
"But my choice truly came from the heart."
"In your eyes... am I very greedy?"
Jiang Nannan was the first to step forward, gently wrapping her arms around his waist and burying her face in his chest. Her voice was muffled, yet filled with undisguised joy:
" Yuhao, thank you for still thinking of me... That's enough."
Ning Tian chuckled softly, elegantly crossing his legs as he sat on the sofa, a sly glint in his eyes:
"So what? Which emperor or duke didn't have three wives and four concubines? Besides—"
Someone as outstanding as you deserves to be admired by more people.
Ling Luochеn stood by the window with her arms crossed, her long, icy-blue hair fluttering slightly in the night breeze. Her tone remained cool, but now held a hint of seriousness:
"Since you've made this choice, don't let it down; take full responsibility."
Ma Xiaotao hooked her arm around Huo Yuhao's neck, her red hair shining like fire:
"That's for the best! No one has to be sad, and no one has to back out!"
Xiao Xiao sat on the armrest of the sofa, swinging her legs, and added with a smile:
"Brother Huo is indeed the gentlest!"
Huo Yuhao looked at them, a hint of relief appearing in his eyes.
--At this point, the five women officially became members of his "girlfriend group".
(Although their status was not as high as Di Qiu'er's, being acknowledged by Huo Yuhao was already a great happiness for them.)
When Di Qiu'er and Gu Yuena pushed open the door and entered, the atmosphere in the living room changed abruptly.
The blonde girl glanced around, a slight smile playing on her lips, exuding an invisible aura.
"It seems... you all get along well?"
The women fell silent instantly.
Although they were already familiar with each other, they were still somewhat reserved in front of this "official wife." After a brief self-introduction, the group tactfully took their leave.
After everyone left, Di Qiu'er suddenly lost her aura and snuggled into Huo Yuhao's arms like a cat.
" Yuhao ~" she tilted her head up, feigning grievance, "Am I that scary?"
Huo Yuhao chuckled, his fingertips Entanglement her golden hair:
"We're just not familiar with each other yet."
"From now on... we'll have plenty of time to spend together."
Di Qiu'er leaned on Huo Yuhao's shoulder, her fingertips unconsciously twirling a strand of his hair, and suddenly asked softly:
" Yuhao... when is Sister Snow Empress coming?"
Her voice carried a hint of curiosity, and a subtle, almost imperceptible, nervousness.
I haven't officially met her yet.
Huo Yuhao looked down at her, his golden eyes reflecting the moonlight, gentle and deep. He reached out and stroked her soft golden hair, whispering:
"After a few days, I'll take you to the Far North to see her, okay?"
Di Qiu'er's eyes lit up, and she smiled like a child who had received candy, snuggling closer to him.
Okay~
--
A gentle night breeze carries a faint floral fragrance.
Huo Yuhao gazed into the distance, his thoughts seemingly drifting to that snow-covered wasteland.
( Xue'er... we'll see each other again soon.)
Di Qiu'er, nestled in his arms, seemed to sense his longing and gently took his hand in hers.
"I will get along well with Sister Snow Empress."
Her promise was light, yet incredibly firm.
The next day, Huo Yuhao pushed open the villa door and was greeted by a gentle breeze carrying the fragrance of grass and trees.
He turned to look at Di Qiu'er and Gu Yuena beside him and said gently, "On this trip to the Star Dou Great Forest, we can conveniently visit Senior Di Tian along the way."
Qiu'er took his arm and nodded with a smile, "Hmm~ Let's also ask if there are any suitable Soul Beast, so we don't have to go through the trouble of searching."
Gu Yuena stood to the side with her arms crossed, her silver hair gleaming coldly in the morning light, and said calmly, "If there aren't any suitable ones, just hunt them down."
The three were about to set off-
Huo Yuhao!
A sharp female voice suddenly rang out.
Huo Yuhao paused, looked up, and saw two figures blocking his path.
Han Ruoruo wore a simple white dress, gentle and dignified; Wu Ming, on the other hand, had fiery red hair and a fierce fighting spirit.
Huo Yuhao wondered: Why have these two suddenly come knocking on my door?
"Senior Han, Senior Wu," Huo Yuhao nodded slightly, his tone calm, "Why aren't you having breakfast this early in the morning? What brings you here to see me?"
Wu Ming stepped forward, his Soul Power surging. "Enough nonsense! Huo Yuhao, I challenge you!"
Huo Yuhao: "...?"
( Di Qiu'er tilted her head, while Gu Yuena raised an eyebrow, revealing a hint of interest.)
Han Ruoruo sighed softly and smiled gently, "Junior Brother Huo, you really stole the show last night."
She lightly twirled a strand of hair between her fingers, her tone slightly teasing. "How many girls in the academy are now obsessed with you? Because of your antics, the Sea God's Fate event was canceled—nobody's interested in blind dates anymore."
Wu Ming snorted coldly, "We'll just have to go back to the dorm early!"
Huo Yuhao thought to himself: These two seem to be having a teacher-student relationship with Teacher Wang Yan and getting along well with Senior Chu Qingtian. How did they suddenly end up here with me?
Han Ruoruo gently brushed a strand of hair that had fallen beside her ear, her voice as soft as a clear spring, yet every word was clear:
"The strength my junior displayed last night was really... a bit of a blow to me, his senior."
She took a step forward, and a ring of golden light quietly bloomed beneath her feet—a sign that her Golden Ring Martial Soul was about to unleash its power.
I have come here today for no one.
"I just wanted to see what I was really capable of, so it's not because of the Sea God's Fate thing. I came specifically for you, junior."
"It'll allow me to test just how big the gap is between me and the 'Number One Person Below Soul Douluo '."
Wu Ming could no longer contain herself; her red hair moved without wind, and crimson flames rose around her. The high temperature distorted the air, even evaporating the morning dew on the stone path into hissing white vapor.
"Enough nonsense!" She raised her palm, and a ball of golden flame erupted. " Huo Yuhao, I've heard that you can not only use Ultimate Ice, but also control Ultimate Fire? Fight me, I want to see which of our flames is superior."
Huo Yuhao shook his head helplessly. "If Senior Sister Wu wants to spar with her on fire control, why doesn't she just go to Sister Xiaotao? Both of them are Soul Saint, and they can compete with me, a Soul Emperor— "
He deliberately dragged out his words, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes. "Aren't you afraid of being branded as a bully even if you win?"
Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, his gaze darkening.
"Two senior sisters... are you really going to fight?"
Han Ruoruo said softly, "It's just a friendly exchange."
Wu Ming's flames faltered for a moment, then he laughed in extreme anger:
"Who was it last night who declared in front of the entire hospital, 'I'm invincible below Soul Douluo!'?"
Han Ruoruo covered her lips and chuckled softly:
"Junior Yuhao, you said that yourself~"
In that case, please proceed.
Afterwards, the group went to the Soul Fighting Arena, and after defeating the two opponents in a few moves, Huo Yuhao and the others decided to continue their journey.
P. S.: One reader has suggested adding her to their harem, such as Ye Xishui, Han Ruoruo, Wu Ming, Xian Lin'er, and Cai Mei'er.
In my current opinion, Ye Xishui is acceptable, Han Ruoruo is also acceptable, Wu Ming is still under consideration, and for the remaining two, including Wu Ming, we still need to see everyone's opinion. If everyone thinks it's acceptable to acquire them, and most people say it's acceptable, then I will acquire them immediately.
So, right now, the characters I can write about, Han Ruoruo and Ye Xishui, are those that allow me to reasonably continue the storyline. As for these characters, let's see what everyone thinks.
