Chapter 44 Huo Yutong's Touch.
These days, does gender-swap mean everyone has to follow suit?
She had a vague feeling that others might also be gender-swapped, and the thought sent chills down her spine.
"Um, is there something you need?"
Deng Mu asked, looking at Tianmeng Ice Silkworm after snapping out of his reverie.
Although he knew Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's purpose, he still had to pretend.
Huo Yutong looked at Tianmeng Ice Silkworm with surprise. It was the first time she had ever seen a talking soul beast; how powerful was it?
She breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, it wasn't here to kill them, or they would both be dead. A talking soul beast was incredibly powerful, far beyond what the two of them could handle.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm hesitated for a moment before saying, "I want to become the soul ring of the girl behind you. Is that alright?"
She vaguely felt that Deng Mu had a powerful backer, and she didn't dare to provoke him, after all, she had no fighting ability whatsoever.
Upon hearing this, Deng Mu looked at Huo Yutong and asked, "Yutong, what do you think?"
Huo Yutong was incredibly surprised to learn that the other party wanted to become her spirit ring, but she quickly calmed down.
After a moment of hesitation, Huo Yutong made up her mind to make the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm her spirit ring; she wanted revenge on those people.
"I agree."
"Okay, I'm going to start now. Don't worry, I'll be gentle, I won't hurt you too much."
"..."
Hearing the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's words, Deng Mu secretly complained.
The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm had turned into a girl, so why were her words so vulgar?
An invisible spiritual wave spread outwards from the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm as it surged into Huo Yuhao's body, its terrifying spiritual power almost instantly covering every corner within a hundred miles in diameter.
Deng Mu yawned; the mental impact of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm hadn't affected him.
The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's mental impact wasn't particularly destructive, but it could render all living beings incapable of thought for a short time.
At this moment, the southern part of the Star Dou Great Forest was eerily quiet.
Just then, the sky, which had been perfectly clear a moment before, suddenly darkened. A thunderous roar resounded high in the sky, and in that instant, the sun's light was completely obscured by darkness.
A tremendous, suffocating pressure descended from the sky.
A gray stream of energy descended from the sky and entered Huo Yutong's head.
"Holding the sun and moon in my hands, plucking stars from the heavens, there is no one like me in this world. I never thought that a remnant of my soul would remain."
A very blurry figure appeared behind Huo Yutong, an aged voice carrying an indescribable majesty.
[Ding! Huo Yutong has obtained Electrolux, beginning sharing...]
[Ding! Congratulations on obtaining Electrolux.]
"Emmm..."
Deng Mu looked at the notification in front of him and felt it was alright; he could revive Electrolux later.
He had a good impression of Electrolux, and also of Long Haochen from the Throne of Divine Seal.
Long Haochen from the Throne of Divine Seal seemed to be the most normal protagonist in those novels, but the Long Haochen in the second part was... well, let's just say he wasn't a good one.
Speaking of which, it seems like there aren't many normal protagonists in the Douluo Universe.
The protagonist, Mad God, was an old rapist; he was too lazy to comment on his behavior, and he didn't really like that kind of protagonist.
As for the Kind-hearted Death God, Deng Mu felt it shouldn't be called the Kind-hearted Death God, but rather the Yellow Death God, because some of the plot points were truly... well, you know.
Meanwhile, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was cursing and swearing, because someone actually tried to steal her away; it was really too much of a bullying of soul beasts.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm became Huo Yutong's soul ring, and the system's voice appeared at the same time.
[Ding! Huo Yutong has obtained a sealed million-year soul ring, beginning to share...]
[Ding! Congratulations on obtaining a sealed million-year soul ring.]
"Hmm, system, add this million-year spirit ring to the Clear Sky Hammer."
Deng Mu looked at the system's prompt, thought for a moment, and added the million-year spirit ring to the Clear Sky Hammer.
He was a little puzzled as to why he hadn't obtained the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm. Although he didn't particularly want the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, he was still curious.
"Hmm?"
Seeing Huo Yutong fall to the ground, Deng Mu quickly caught her and helped her sit under a tree.
According to the plot, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and Huo Yutong were chatting in their spiritual sea.
Thinking of this, Deng Mu sat down beside Huo Yutong, waiting for Huo Yuhao to wake up.
"By the way, system, why didn't I obtain the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm?"
[Reply to host, the system has placed the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm in the spirit ring. If the host needs it, the system can remove the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm from the spirit ring.]
"Never mind, I don't need it."
Deng Mu listened to the system's words, thought for a moment, and refused the system's request to remove the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.
He didn't want his memories to be seen by others, not even his mother.
Glancing at the still unconscious Huo Yutong, Deng Mu thought for a moment, then carried her on his back and headed out of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Reaching a stream, Deng Mu took out a blanket and placed it on the ground, then laid Huo Yutong on it.
"Yutong probably won't wake up for a while, let's catch some fish first."
Looking at the unconscious Huo Yutong, Deng Mu decided to catch some fish. He wanted to try Huo Yutong's grilled fish after she woke up.
Having read so many fanfictions, many of which described Huo Yuhao as an expert at grilling fish, a female version of Huo Yuhao should be quite good.
It couldn't possibly be a culinary disaster, could it?
Two hours later, Huo Yutong slowly woke up.
"Yutong, have a skewer of grilled fish."
"Okay, thank you, Brother Mu."
"It's nothing."
Deng Mu handed the grilled fish to Huo Yutong, waving his hand to indicate it was alright.
Huo Yutong took a bite of the grilled fish and thought it tasted amazing, far better than anything she could make.
Seeing Huo Yutong enjoying her meal, Deng Mu assumed she was hungry and didn't think much of it.
"Mmm, so full."
"Here, have some water."
"Okay, thank you, Brother Mu."
Huo Yutong took the water bottle Deng Mu offered and drank without hesitation.
She now trusted Deng Mu completely. In all her life, this was the first time she'd met someone so caring, and even when she fainted, he had taken good care of her without any ill intentions. The only person who could be so selfless towards her was her mother, but sadly, her mother had passed away.
Deng Mu looked at Huo Yutong and asked, "Yutong, what are your plans for the future?"
Huo Yutong shook her head. "Not yet, I'm a little lost right now."
Right now, she wanted to improve her strength quickly; she had no other thoughts.
Deng Mu thought for a moment and suggested, "Yutong, why don't you join the Tang Sect?"
