Douluo Continent: Reincarnation of Huo Yuhao - Chapter 7: Living Off a Soft Rice? Read Online
"Hey, human, what's your name?"
After much deliberation, the Imperial Beast finally decided to follow her heart. Mainly, she dared not gamble on just how severe the consequences of killing her opponent would be.
At that moment, her extraordinary wisdom suddenly came up with an idea.
Didn't Di Tian say something before: 'Since he can't be used by me, then kill him.'
So let's change our thinking. Since we can't kill this human in front of us, why not just make him work for us?
Very well, if that's the case, then let's do it this way!
Me?
Huo Yuhao shrank back a little, and seeing that the Emperor Beast opposite him did not seem to be capable of fighting, he relaxed a little.
"Otherwise, are there any other people here?"
"Oh, my name is Huo..."
Huo Yuhao was about to say his name when he suddenly realized something was wrong. Why would he tell a soul beast he had just met his real name? Something was very strange! He felt like an invisible force was influencing his thoughts.
(Love Continent: Bingo, that's me!)
"My name is Huo Wangshu."
Huo Yuhao paused for a moment, thinking of Sheren, but then realized that using his benefactor's name seemed a bit inappropriate. So, he decided to use Wangshu instead.
"Huo Wangshu?"
The Imperial Beast repeated its name, feeling something was off. It looked at the white-haired child not far away with its three eyes and tilted its head.
Are you using a pseudonym?
Huo Yuhao: Danger!
"How could that be? How could I dare to deceive you?"
Huo Yuhao lied without blinking; his blue-white eyes revealed no falsehood, only sincerity, as he stared directly at the Imperial Beast.
"I see..."
For some reason, Huo Yuhao felt shy and embarrassed around a soul beast.
Although the other person is indeed quite good-looking...
Wait a minute, what am I even thinking?!
Huo Yuhao shook his head, dismissing some strange feelings and thoughts.
Meanwhile, Tianmeng, in the Sea of Spirit, was lying on a chair, watching the spectacle unfold outside. Suddenly, she wondered if she shouldn't be there. Why did she feel like a light bulb, constantly shining through the darkness?
...
The Crimson King was on his way, but he didn't unleash his full power, lest his aura attract some fearless humans and cause trouble.
Since he sensed that the auspicious beast's aura had stopped running away, he figured it was probably not in any danger.
Did we overdo it in our pursuit of the prey? We've had similar experiences before.
...
"So you mean that in the mixed zone, you felt that the human's luck suddenly increased by half?"
"Then you sensed my presence, so you came to check?"
Huo Yuhao was walking side by side with the Emperor Beast. If others saw this scene, they would probably think they were dreaming.
That's right.
A clear, melodious female voice rang out, making Huo Yuhao feel very uncomfortable, especially after glancing at the other person and then looking down at himself.
The other person resembled those high-ranking nobles from my memory, yet was far cleaner and purer than them, while I...
Why do I feel so ashamed and uncomfortable?
If mental control weren't ineffective against him, he would have liked to give himself a mental orb to stop his wild thoughts.
"Hello, Huo Wangshu."
A clear, melodious female voice rang out from the side. Huo Yuhao was a little taken aback at first, but by the time he realized what was happening, the Imperial Beast had already stopped and was looking at him.
"I knew it, it was a fake name."
"Fine, if you don't want to say it, then so be it. Anyway, I've already remembered you."
Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment, then chose not to speak, simply following the other person while holding the white robe.
The two remained silent for a long time until they reached the outer perimeter, at which point Huo Yuhao finally couldn't help but speak up: "Hey, where are we going?"
"Didn't you come here to obtain a spirit ring?"
The Imperial Beast turned to look at Huo Yuhao, who had been within its perception range the whole time.
How did you know?
As soon as Huo Yuhao asked the question, he saw the look in the other person's eyes, as if they were looking at an idiot.
"Most normal humans choose to come to the Star Dou Great Forest in order to obtain a spirit ring."
"You can't be here for a picnic, can you?"
Hmm... that seems to be true, after all, my initial goal was to obtain the first soul ring of the Spirit Eye Martial Soul.
Now, it's all for the first and second rings of the Moon Martial Soul.
"So, what does this have to do with you?"
Huo Yuhao stood still, simply staring at the other person. The Imperial Beast, upon hearing this, spoke frankly:
"Oh, I'm going to help you."
These words stunned Huo Yuhao. A soul beast that is nearly 100,000 years old, help me obtain a soul ring?
This statement sounds absurd.
I originally thought that apart from the two incidents involving my benefactor and Tianmeng, there was nothing else that could shock me, but now it seems that I have to add another one.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao inexplicably had the illusion that after all the suffering, the world was trying to make up for what it had owed him.
He opened his mouth but didn't speak for a long time; he just started moving again.
"Why would you, a soul beast, choose to help me?"
Huo Yuhao's tone was somewhat sullen, clearly puzzled.
"That's because I plan to bribe you and make you my person."
Huo Yuhao paused for a moment, then resumed his normal pace. His ability to accept things had been greatly enhanced, and he wouldn't be surprised if he were suddenly told that there was another version of himself and another Tianmeng in the world.
and...
He needs any form of increased power as leverage for revenge, and becoming a soul beast... as a stopgap measure, is not out of the question...
But why does something feel off? It's like I'm living off a woman.
Meanwhile, the Red King was still on his way.
Most of the other spirit beasts along the way trembled in fear after sensing the ferocious aura of the Crimson King, which had existed for 300,000 years.
Not far from Huo Yuhao and the Emperor Beast underground in the Star Dou Great Forest, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm was also trembling.
"Wow, wait, why is it that when I finally managed to sense a Soul Master with a spiritual attribute, there's an Imperial Beast following them around?"
"Also, aren't you two getting along a little too peacefully?"
The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm continued to conceal its presence as it lay in its cocoon, but it remembered the human who carried a somewhat familiar aura.
At this moment, Tianmeng in Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea suddenly felt as if someone had glanced at her, a feeling that was very familiar and similar to her own.
"That's strange, I remember all my relatives died from outliving me."
Then he dismissed it as him being overly sensitive and continued watching the man and beast outside.
"Speaking of which, Yuhao, is it possible to persuade the Imperial Beast to join my god-making plan?"
But as soon as he said those words, he pictured the fiery, crazed figures behind Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts.
"Hmm, then let's forget about it."
Outside, Huo Yuhao followed behind the Emperor Beast, listening to its explanation, just like a proud and confident young woman introducing how wonderful and big her home was.
That really is strange.
Looking at the auspicious beast before him, Huo Yuhao opened his mouth and asked:
"To be honest, I don't even know your name."
"Um?"
The imperial auspicious beast turned its head and looked at him with some curiosity.
"My name is Emperor Beast, or you can call me Three-Eyed Golden Lion."
"I mean the name, not the species or identity."
Huo Yuhao stopped and looked at her. She hadn't hidden anything from the beginning, which made him seem hypocritical.
"My name is Huo Yuhao."
"This time it's not a fake name."
Although, strictly speaking, this is still a pseudonym.
