His voice was almost squeezed out from between his teeth, and demonic energy surged around him:
"What's so great about that Huo Yuhao that you're all so infatuated with him?"
"I just don't believe he could have that much charm."
"I challenge him, with you as the stake."
Although A Bao appears angry, it's a calm kind of anger; he's not yelling or screaming, nor is he going crazy trying to Destruction anything.
Yue Ye raised an eyebrow slightly, a half-smile playing on her lips, "I... am the bet?"
A Bao snorted coldly, "That's right, as long as he can defeat me and make me submit willingly, hmph."
His voice was low and his tone was calm.
The Yue Ye exuded a sinister aura. Perhaps this was an opportunity. In her heart, whether Huo Yuhao won or lost, she would choose him. Regardless of victory or defeat, her choice was already predetermined. Liking someone is never decided by order, first come, first served. And she could absolutely believe, more than anyone else in the world, that Huo Yuhao would not lose, absolutely not.
She smiled gently, her tone soft.
"Alright, then go ahead and take the challenge. I'll back your bet, but if you lose, you have to leave. Please let go completely, A Bao. Agree to him and your sister, and also grant me and him my wish."
These words were like a sharp blade, piercing A Bao's heart. His pupils contracted sharply, a tearing pain surged in his chest, and his fingers trembled uncontrollably. " Huo Yuhao "
He practically spat out the name between his teeth, his voice low and almost hoarse.
After a long silence, he suddenly looked up, his eyes burning with a cold fighting spirit, and said, word by word:
"Okay, it's a deal."
At this moment, Huo Yuhao was in his room, sitting in a seat with a teacup in his hand, and next to him was Leng Xiao.
Huo Yuhao turned his head slightly, his gaze falling on her unique purple eyes, his tone gentle yet tinged with inquiry:
"Miss Leng, do all members of your Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon Clan possess such beautiful purple eyes?"
Upon hearing this, Leng Xiao unconsciously smiled and said softly, "Because we are Demon Clan, Brother Huo. Do Dragon Clan also exist in your world?"
Huo Yuhao's eyes flickered for a moment, but he decided not to reveal the Silver Dragon King's condition. "Yes, she does. Among my wives, my girlfriends, she is a descendant of the Dragon Clan race."
Leng Xiao was slightly taken aback, curiosity appearing in her eyes. "Yes, really? What kind of person is Brother Huo's wife?"
Huo Yuhao was silent for a moment, then said softly, "She was a stubborn girl. She was prouder than anyone else, yet she was willing to give everything for me. She even gave her life for me, just to protect me. We went through so much to finally be together, but then she died."
His tone was calm, yet it sent a shiver down Leng Xiao's spine.
Leng Xiao looked clearly incredulous. "Brother Huo, you're saying she's dead?"
Huo Yuhao raised his eyes, the feigned pain in them perfectly timed. "Yes, but after everything, I resurrected her. She died for me, and even seeing a sliver of hope, I still want her to stay by my side forever."
Leng Xiao stared at him blankly, a bittersweet feeling welling up inside her. She whispered, "Brother Huo, you really are a devoted lover."
Huo Yuhao shook his head, a bitter smile tugging at the corner of his lips, "I'm not actually the kind of person you're describing. My life has been like that of a puppet being manipulated. I haven't discovered what emotions are, what feelings are, or what love is."
But after experiencing something truly unforgettable, I came to understand that kind of heart-wrenching pain.
Leng Xiao gazed at his resolute profile, a sudden pang of pain shooting through her heart. "His skills must have come from countless hardships."
She couldn't help but ask softly:
"Brother Huo, your path to godhood must have been incredibly difficult."
Huo Yuhao gazed at the gently rippling tea in his cup, his voice low and resonant. "To my shame, I was born of humble origins and harbored hatred in my heart. Only hatred could sustain me on my path. Fortunately, I met my teacher, and his appearance brought a turning point to my life."
At this point, Huo Yuhao's voice trembled slightly. "He accompanied me all the way, like a father. However, during one of our trials, someone sabotaged my teacher's life, leading to his death. So, my hatred grew, and my obsession deepened. I swore an oath to resurrect him, and that's how I've come this far."
"When I was young, I had no path to take, but with the help of my teachers and friends, I was able to get to where I am today," a warm light flashed in his eyes.
Leng Xiao slowly said, "So that's how it is. Brother Huo is truly a man of great loyalty and righteousness."
Huo Yuhao gently shook his head. "Miss Leng, you flatter me."
Huo Yuhao's words were all things he wanted to convey, and Leng Xiao understood what kind of person Huo Yuhao was.
Leng Xiao suddenly looked up, her purple eyes flashing with determination. "Brother Huo, if one day you encounter danger, I will definitely risk my life to save you."
Huo Yuhao truly didn't expect Leng Xiao to say such a thing.
He was taken aback; this sudden confession startled Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao sighed softly, "Miss Leng, don't worry, I won't give you that chance. How could I possibly deserve you risking your life to save me?"
"It's worth it!" Leng Xiao interrupted him, crystal tears rolling down her cheeks. "No one in this world is more worthy of Xiao'er doing this than Brother Huo. Because, because I love Brother Huo the most!"
Her voice trembled slightly, yet every word was firm and resolute. Tears dripped onto the tea table, splashing up tiny droplets.
Just then, A Bao heard the sounds coming from Huo Yuhao's room. It was Leng Xiao crying. " Huo Yuhao, as expected, you're no good. Whether it was for Yue Ye or now for Leng Xiao, I'm going to challenge you."
He barged in, and before he could even introduce himself, a Ultimate Ice aura instantly enveloped him.
"Court death".
The sound came from inside the room; it was Huo Yuhao's voice booming. Huo Yuhao had actually sensed his presence long ago, but he didn't know why he had come here.
But to just barge in like that, isn't that incredibly disrespectful?
In that instant, he used the Ultimate Ice to completely freeze A Bao.
In an instant, the entire room was enveloped in extreme cold. Crystalline frost spread rapidly across the walls and floor as if it were alive, turning everything a frosty white. And in Huo Yuhao's eyes, there was indeed a shining icy blue light.
Leng Xiao then recognized the figure Ice Seal and exclaimed, "Brother Huo, this is my brother, A Bao!"
P. S.: In the next A Bao, I think it'll be more accurate to instantly defeat Po. Even the Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu couldn't beat Huo Yuhao, so defeating A Bao shouldn't be a problem.
