The chirping of birds in the early morning, along with the hushed conversations of the Clear Sky Castle people, quietly crept into Huo Yuhao's room.
The faint sound kept amplifying in his ears, so he had to pick up a pillow, cover his ears, and turn over.
You know, he talked so much last night that his throat was practically dry, and I don't even know what time he got home.
All he wanted to do was get some sleep, but the faint sound kept lingering in his ears, making him extremely irritable.
Huo Yuhao vaguely felt an itch on the tip of his nose, and something kept brushing against it, making it even harder for him to fall asleep.
Huo Yuhao reluctantly opened his eyes, a faint glint in them.
Wang Dong'er was playfully playing with a strand of her beautiful hair, repeatedly brushing it against Huo Yuhao's nose.
"Hey, Yuhao, you're awake. The sun's already high in the sky. I'm off to get Soul Ring, so I stopped by to check on you before I left."
"Oh?" Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow, immediately perking up. "Logically speaking, there are very few types of Soul Beast Soul Beast here, so there shouldn't be any that are compatible with you."
"This is a secret of our Clear Sky Sect. Let's talk about it when I get back." Wang Dong'er pointed her finger at Huo Yuhao's forehead.
Huo Yuhao grasped her soft, delicate hand and chuckled, "You're quite mysterious."
Wang Dong'er's eyes darted around, and she suddenly said, "Actually, it's not that I can't tell you, it's just... I have a small request."
"Oh, by the way, this is the chicken soup I made for you."
Wang Dong'er handed the fragrant chicken soup to Huo Yuhao.
"Requirements?" Huo Yuhao asked, puzzled.
"Well, actually, all I need is for you to marry me, then we'll be a family." Wang Dong'er propped her head up with her hand, waiting with great interest for Huo Yuhao's answer.
"Ahem..." Huo Yuhao coughed lightly and picked up a spoon. "My chicken soup is a little salty."
"No way, I tasted it on purpose!" Wang Dong'er asked curiously, taking Huo Yuhao's spoon.
"It's not salty. Oh, by the way, I haven't told you the conditions yet. As long as you marry me, everything in Clear Sky Castle can be considered my dowry," Wang Dong'er said.
Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow, without the slightest hesitation, "I think it's not impossible to discuss it."
Wang Dong'er was dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, with leather armor made from Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast protecting her chest. Her hair was tied in a high ponytail, and her long, straight legs made her look very capable.
Huo Yuhao escorted Wang Dong'er to the entrance of Clear Sky Castle.
Wang Dong'er gave a clear shout, and the magnificent Light Goddess Butterfly behind her unfurled, shimmering with light all around.
" Yuhao, wait for me to come back..." Wang Dong'er said.
"Wait for Dong'er."
Niu Tian's voice came from behind, and Wang Dong'er, who was about to take flight, immediately stopped.
Approaching Niu Tian's side, he asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Uncle?"
Niu Tian still had a smile on his face and pointed behind him.
Wang Qiu'er, dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, stood not far behind Niu Tian, holding a gleaming Golden Dragon Spear in her hand.
"Why is it you?" Wang Dong'er was somewhat surprised, not understanding why Wang Qiu'er was here.
Wang Qiu'er spoke calmly as she walked to Huo Yuhao's side, putting on her Flying Soul Tool as she said, "I happen to need my Sixth Soul Ring. I discussed it with Sect Master Niu yesterday, and he said I could go with you."
"Oh." Wang Dong'er crossed her arms and agreed.
Niu Tian then added, "Wait a bit, Wang Qiu'er and Huo Yuhao will go with you. The Soul Platform of the Clear Sky Sect isn't a secret."
Although Wang Dong'er had some doubts, she didn't ask any further questions and nodded in agreement.
She had originally intended to take Huo Yuhao to see him, but due to the established rules, she couldn't make an exception.
Now that her uncle has said so, taking Wang Qiu'er along isn't a big problem for her.
" Dong'er, be careful."
Once Huo Yuhao and Wang Qiu'er had put on their Flying Soul Tool, Wang Dong'er slowly flapped her wings and flew into the air.
Huo Yuhao and Wang Qiu'er immediately followed and flew to Wang Dong'er's side.
Wang Dong'er moved closer to Huo Yuhao and said with concern, " Yuhao, make sure you stay close to me later, or things will get really serious if you get lost."
" Wang Qiu'er, you too."
Huo Yuhao and Wang Qiu'er both nodded, channeling their Soul Power into the Flying Soul Tool to approach Wang Dong'er.
Huo Yuhao suggested, "In that case, we should still take some precautions."
"Yes, Yuhao is right. I'm still young and I'm not ready to cause anyone's death," Wang Dong'er said, blushing.
Wang Qiu'er turned her head away speechlessly. Huo Yuhao smiled and took out a special rope chain made of rare metal from his Soul Tool Ring, connecting everyone together.
Wang Dong'er simply took out the Flying Soul Tool that Huo Yuhao had given her and put it on.
The next moment, a pair of soul-guided wings shaped like butterfly wings unfurled.
A dazzling flame erupted from behind the Flying Soul Tool, and the three of them transformed into a dazzling meteor as they plunged into the clouds not far away.
After plunging into the clouds, the three completely lost sight of what lay ahead.
Fortunately, Wang Dong'er was very familiar with the area, and there were no obstacles along the way.
Huo Yuhao mentally recorded the direction of travel, and the three of them traveled a distance in almost every direction, sometimes south and sometimes west.
Enveloped in this mist, people even lost their sense of time and space.
I don't know how much time passed, but the surrounding clouds and mist began to thin out.
call!
A gentle breeze blew from afar, and the three of them instantly flew out of the clouds.
Wang Qiu'er's eyes flickered as she stared blankly ahead.
In front of them stood a towering stone pillar, its base obscured by clouds and mist.
Based on the height of Clear Sky Castle, this stone pillar must be at least nearly a thousand meters tall.
Wang Qiu'er asked, "Is this the place to obtain Soul Ring?"
Wang Dong'er curled her lips into a smile, then shook her head mysteriously, saying, "Of course not, it's just an ordinary pillar. Let's go up first, and you'll see."
After saying that, Wang Dong'er turned around and flew towards the top of the towering stone pillar.
Huo Yuhao and Wang Qiu'er immediately followed.
At the same time, a glint flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes as he looked at the stone pillar, its patterns appearing as if they were naturally formed.
There is no trace of artificial carving, and Simulation the patterns on it in one's mind is of no use; it seems to be purely decorative.
Such a stone pillar, if it were merely an ornament, would raise too much suspicion.
Huo Yuhao did not retract his Martial Soul and continued to observe silently.
Before long, the three of them flew to the top and slowly landed on the top of the stone pillar.
In the distance, three identical stone pillars stood quietly, their patterns identical.
What's most astonishing is that each of the four pillars is connected by a black iron chain that is wider and longer than the Martial Soul Avatar the Niu Tian Martial Soul.
Wang Dong'er pointed ahead, where there was an inverted triangular platform at the center of the four iron chains, which was slowly swaying.
That's the Soul Platform!
