Huo Yuhao had already broken through the East Sea Dragon Palace, so moving freely in this Ice Sea would be no problem at all; it was incredibly easy for him.
The merman wearing the crown before him said, "Human, you say you are a friend of the Sea God, are you a deity?"
Huo Yuhao calmly said to the Sea Princess, "Yes, beautiful mermaid, I am the God of Emotion. I want to tell you that a war will break out among humans soon. At that time, a group of humans— Evil Soul Master, bad people—will come to deceive you, harm you, and turn you into vengeful spirits."
"I was originally a deity, but for certain reasons, I remained in the mortal realm. Because of my prophecy, your sister, Li Ya, would be harmed. Li Ya became my companion in the prophecy, so I don't want to see my companion get hurt."
That's why I came here.
Then, the Sea Princess wearing a crown asked, "Are you truly a god?"
Huo Yuhao unleashed his Power of Emotion, revealing his divinity, which caused many Sea Soul Beast to kneel down upon seeing him.
The Sea Princess believed her now, and she bowed gracefully. "This is truly important news, Your Excellency. Thank you for coming for Li Ya. I will take you to see my mother now."
When they met the mother of this Sea Princess, who was also the mother of Li Ya and this older sister.
Li Ya's sister also told her what Huo Yuhao had said.
The Queen listened intently, her expression gradually growing solemn. She looked at Huo Yuhao, her voice trembling slightly. "Your Excellency, is what you say true? Soon a group of Evil humans, Evil Soul Master, will arrive. They will harm the Sea Soul Beast, they will harm Li Ya."
Huo Yuhao calmly replied, "Yes, actually, Sea Princess Queen, everything I said is true. As for me, my relationship with Li Ya is a strange fate. Once I see Li Ya, she can explain the reason to you. But I cannot answer you about the specifics."
"Queen of the Sea Princess, I can tell you that besides Li Ya, who is my partner, there are two other Soul Beast that you must know."
The Sea Princess Queen, who is also Li Ya's mother, said, "Oh? Your noble deity, who else do you have companions?"
Huo Yuhao looked at her calmly and said, "My partners are two of the three rulers of the Far North, the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress. Now they are not only my partners, but also my lovers."
Not only the Sea Princess Queen, but even her sister Li Ya was astonished. "What did you say? The Ice Empress and Snow Empress, two of the three rulers of the Far North, are your lovers? Two Soul Beast? They've become your lovers?"
Huo Yuhao said calmly, "Yes, I don't care whether they are Soul Beast or not. They love me, and I love them too. I don't think there's anything wrong with that."
The Sea Princess Queen clearly held Huo Yuhao in high esteem, and then said, "Honorable deity, did you come here merely to warn us that humans are about to attack us, or is it about Li Ya?"
Huo Yuhao said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I came here to ask Li Ya if she wants to leave the Ice Sea with me and become my partner."
Li Ya had actually been hiding to the side from the beginning, listening to Huo Yuhao's speech.
Now she stood beside Huo Yuhao and asked Huo Yuhao, "Are you really a god?"
Huo Yuhao smiled slightly, his voice gentle, "Of course, Li Ya, I will give you the right to choose, because these are rights you should inherently possess. I will give you the memories that originally belonged to you, and then I will give you the choice."
"Or, if you don't want it, I won't force you. I will protect your Mermaid Clan. Even if the Sea God is no longer your deity, I, Huo Yuhao, the God of Emotion, will forever protect this ocean of yours."
Li Ya looked at Huo Yuhao and said, "Memory? What memory? I want to know, I want to know why?"
Huo Yuhao smiled, gently tapping the golden light in his hand, and in an extremely gentle way, he handed over all of Li Ya's memories from her past life to the moment when the last few Soul Spirit preserved Huo Yuhao's last moments of life to Li Ya.
Images flashed through Li Ya's mind, until finally, seeing Huo Yuhao's tearful face, her life came to a halt.
When Li Ya opened her eyes again, all she saw was Huo Yuhao's gentle smile.
" Li Ya, do you remember me?"
He asked softly, his tone overlapping with countless past lives.
Li Ya bit her lip, tears welling in her eyes, and without caring about anyone's gaze in front of everyone, she threw herself into Huo Yuhao's arms.
"Of course, Yuhao, I thought I would never see you again in this lifetime."
Her cries reached everyone's ears.
"You're not dead, that's wonderful!"
Huo Yuhao gently hugged her back, "Of course, I, Huo Yuhao, would never die so easily."
Li Ya looked up at him, her eyes blurry with tears. "But you were so badly injured, your heart pierced by the Sea God Trident of the Sea God. Our power can only keep you alive for a short while."
How did you come back to life?
Huo Yuhao said, "That's a long story. I'll tell you about it later."
Everyone was beyond astonished. "What? He was pierced through the heart by Sea God 'Sea God Trident? Sea God killed him?"
He lowered his voice, reminding us with a hint of sarcasm, "There are still so many people watching."
Li Ya then came to her senses and realized her actions in a moment of emotional outburst, and immediately let go of his hand, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
After Li Ya explained the whole thing to her sister and her mother, they finally understood.
The Sea Princess Queen said with a solemn expression, "I never expected that the human who inherited the Sea God would do such a thing. Does this Sea God intend to treat the entire Douluo Continent as his backyard?"
She turned to Huo Yuhao and said, " God of Emotion, thank you so much for taking care of Li Ya all this time."
Huo Yuhao shook his head and said, "That's all from my past life. I'm sorry I lied to you, but I had no choice but to do it."
Li Ya's sister softly chimed in, "It's alright. With the Sea God in his current state, it would be difficult for you to even say you want to be his friend."
Huo Yuhao's eyes flashed with murderous intent as he said, "Yes, I wish I could kill him."
Li Ya gazed at Huo Yuhao and asked with concern, " Yuhao, have you recovered to your peak strength? Are you lacking Soul Spirit? I'll offer one as a sacrifice."
Huo Yuhao gently shook his head, his gaze tender. "No need, Li Ya. I want to give you your own choice, whether that choice is to stay with me or not."
A Sisi unease flashed in Li Ya's eyes as she said, "You... don't you want me anymore?"
