Douluo: This time we will rewrite our destiny
Chapter 299 Meeting Dai Luoli Again
When Huo Yuhao returned to Lingqi Sect, the place had changed drastically: a banner with slogans was hung in front of the gate, a new soul guide lamp sponsored by Mingde Hall was hung, the old plaque on the gate was removed, but the new one had not been put up yet. Ji Juechen stood in front of the gate holding the new plaque without words, with a righteous aura like a door god, blocking Huo Yuhao's request to write an inscription on the day of the meeting.
“Is it so ceremonial?” Huo Yuhao said jokingly.
"What kind of ceremony can he plan?" Jing Ziyan appeared from behind Ji Juechen. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and held a stack of planning proposals in her hands. "I was the one who made the suggestion. Yuhao - oh, you are the national master after returning. Can I still call you my junior brother?"
Huo Yuhao shouted with a smile: “Senior Sister Jing!”
Ghost Nana was helping to arrange the flower baskets that were delivered to the gate. These flower baskets were sent by various organizations of the Sun and Moon Empire to express their congratulations. Each flower basket contained a greeting card with congratulatory messages written on it.
The largest bouquet came from the royal family of the Sun-Moon Empire. The flower basket was filled with several types of flowers representing the Sun-Moon Empire in a carefully designed arrangement. They were all vying for beauty, with fresh dewdrops on the petals. When placed at the door, the fragrance wafted from ten miles away.
Next came the Gongfeng Hall and Mingde Hall. Meng Hongchen even deliberately drew a cute face on the greeting card and wrote "I wish my brother Yuhao will get better and better in the future." Then came the five soul mentor groups of the Sun and Moon Empire's Protector of the Nation. The leaders of the Imperial Dragon Soul Mentor Group and the Fire Phoenix Soul Mentor Group were newly elected, so their congratulatory messages were a bit polite. The other three were acquaintances, so their messages were much more sincere. Later, there was the Ordinary Alliance and the Aodu Chamber of Commerce...
On the other side was a large bunch of purple flowers that had no aesthetic appeal. The greeting card said "representative of soul beasts", but Ghost Nana looked very scared and didn't dare to get close. Huo Yuhao looked closely and saw that the one standing next to the flowers and admiring his beauty was the human-shaped Evil Emperor.
"Senior, you are here!" He simply saluted the Evil Emperor, then looked at the bouquet of flowers that was too painful to look at.
...Does this flower arrangement have some kind of silencing soul skill effect? Otherwise, why is he a little speechless?
"Hmm," the Evil Emperor nodded, "Does it look good? I've finally adapted to the local customs for once."
“I can see that you tried your best,” Huo Yuhao said, “This thought is the most important!”
Chi Qiu looked at the bouquet of flowers and then at Huo Yuhao, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself. She felt that Huo Yuhao was truly amazing. Even Di Tian couldn't make such an ugly and shocking flower arrangement. Perhaps it was because of Di Tian's aesthetic taste and Brigitte's correction.
After exchanging these pleasantries, Huo Yuhao turned serious and asked the Evil Emperor in a low voice: "Senior, have you found all the volunteers?"
"You can rest assured," the Evil Emperor spread his hands, "My people absolutely believe in my choice. On the contrary, the ones with impure thoughts may be you humans. You must screen them carefully and don't let those with ill intentions sneak in."
In order to ensure that the first batch of people who were open to the public could successfully complete the contract, most of the human volunteers this time were selected from the hands of the Protector of the Nation, and they were all well-trained soldiers who obeyed orders. When selecting people, Liao Mengkai recommended his adjutant of the eighth ring, and he seemed to feel very sorry, saying that he was sealed too early, and a few years later, the ninth ring would be able to enjoy the new results of this time.
"I never thought that we are also old people from the old times," Wang Yiheng joked with a smile, "I used to think I was still young!"
There were a few very special people. The Worship Hall asked Huo Yuhao for two places, one for Ye Guyi and the other for Yin Yun. Ye Guyi had killed many evil spirit masters in the battle with the Holy Spirit Church, and his spirit power had already reached the bottleneck of seven rings, but he had been recuperating these days after the battle and had not yet obtained a spirit ring. Yin Yun had just touched the edge of the Soul Saint, but he was under a lot of psychological pressure. After all, his martial spirit had mutated strangely, like an evil martial spirit, and he was a little concerned about being on stage.
At the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, Bai Tan received a special invitation from Huo Yuhao. Among the things he promised her, in addition to finding her sister, he also healed her damaged spirit. Huo Yuhao had a lot of experience in this after the incident with Xu Tianling, so he was confident.
In addition, there was another person who was even more special. This person was someone Huo Yuhao met on his way back to Sun Moon from Shrek. He had short blond hair, was dressed in the attire of an ascetic, and carried a survival bag for long-distance travel, and lived alone in the suburbs.
He had his own way of survival. At night, he would set up a tent on the spot, light a bonfire, and practice silently in front of the bonfire, enjoying it. When walking in the forest, if a soul beast attacked, he would activate his martial spirit to fight calmly. At that time, his golden hair turned white, and only the ends of his hair were bright red. He looked to be about level 59, still a threshold from soul emperor, so when facing the soul beasts that attacked, he never killed them, but only drove them away.
This person is Dai Luoli.
Huo Yuhao was somewhat interested in him, so he stopped for a moment and landed next to his temporary camp. He did not hide his presence, and as soon as he landed, Dai Luoli turned around abruptly, assuming an extremely alert posture: "Who?!"
“Hello.” Huo Yuhao waved at him. “First meeting? That’s true for you, but not for me.”
"You-you are..."
Hearing Huo Yuhao's voice, Dai Luoli suddenly reacted. He would never forget that day when a mysterious voice guided his life path and told him that "the opportunity to leave will come today". That day, the Duchess and Dai Huabin died at home, and Dai Yaoheng's meridians were injured, and his cultivation never improved. The Dai family's generation was cut off.
Although the White Tiger Duke's Mansion still has a position supported by Dai Hao, everyone can see that if Dai Hao falls, the entire family will no longer have a fulcrum. Until the next generation of Dai Yaoheng is born, it will be difficult for the White Tiger Duke's Mansion to turn around. Who would be willing to marry Dai Yaoheng, who has a disabled meridian? Anyway, the Zhu family is unwilling.
One night after that, Dai Hao called him and his mother in, with Dai Yaoheng's numb eyes, and wanted to make him the heir of the Dai family and his mother his legal wife. At that moment, he wavered. The opportunity to become the young master of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion was right in front of him, and the opportunity for his mother to get a legitimate status was right in front of him. He almost forgot the guidance of the mysterious voice... However, he calmed down and told Dai Hao that he wanted to reconsider.
He thought that Dai Hao would scold him like a white tiger, blaming him for not knowing how to judge the situation, not knowing the good intentions of adults and the hardships of the family, just like every time when he was a child. However, he shrank his neck, but did not wait for Dai Hao to explode. The heroic man praised by everyone in his memory, with a tired face, told him to go back and think about it carefully.
His mother followed him silently, never saying what she wanted or didn't want. Dai Luoli sat in his study, the oil lamp burned all night, he looked at the swaying light on the desk, next to him was his mother's equally sleepless shadow. He didn't sleep, and his mother didn't sleep either, but until midnight, his mother didn't say a word.
For some reason, Dai Luoli thought of the day when the Duchess died. People in the mansion said that the Duchess was very protective of her son, and she was still by Dai Huabin's side before she died. Dai Luoli knew that she was very protective of her son. She was so protective of her son that she insulted him and his mother countless times, saying that he was a disabled person and was not worthy of staying in the Dai family and living in the same mansion with them. His mother gave birth to such a disabled person, and she was not worthy of staying here either - oh, it was the other way around, it was because she was not worthy that she gave birth to a disabled person. The Duchess always said this.
He thought of Dai Hao's expression, and how he indulged the Duchess who said such things again and again. How did they meet when they were young? They were also a perfect match in the army? Did they fall in love at first sight on the road, and also go through the sweet stage of lovers? If he didn't love her deeply, how could he protect her like this?
Dai Luoli is still young, and her fantasy about marriage and love is in line with the romantic fantasy that fills a young person's mind. He didn't expect that there might be no love in this marriage, but only marriage alliance and means of struggle. Dai Hao indulged her arrogance only because her family was the Zhu family.
But at least Dai Luoli recognized one fact, that is, Dai Hao did not love his mother. He did not love her in the past, does not love her now, and will not love her in the future. Now he wants her to be his legal wife only because she gave birth to him, and he, a disabled person, has become the only hope of this generation in the Duke's Mansion.
At dawn, he felt a wave of nausea in his stomach, and suddenly heaved while holding onto the table. A pair of warm but rough hands rested on his shoulders and gently patted his back. It was his mother.
He thought, he was not the fruit of love between Dai Hao and his mother. His mother loved him, but what was his mindset in having sex with his mother? Was it just to vent his desire? Being born in such a union made him sick. However, his mother's love for him was real. He didn't want to be Dai Hao's heir, nor did he want to be the third young master of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion. He just wanted to be his mother's child.
"Mom," he said, "can we just not agree to his request?"
The hands grasped his shoulders nervously. However, the mother's voice said, "Okay." "Mom, will you listen to me in everything?"
"Of course," the woman's voice was gentle but a little timid, "Luo Li, my son, you are all I have."
"Is Dai Hao gone?"
The woman was silent.
"Is it okay without him?"
Dai Luoli lowered his head, he wanted to vomit again. However, he hadn't eaten anything all night, and all he vomited was sour water.
The woman finally said, "Okay."
Before the rooster crowed for the third time, Dai Luoli quietly left home with his mother. He had thought that this was a disrespectful act and that he would never be able to do it in his lifetime; but after he really did it, he found that it was easier and simpler than he had imagined. The White Tiger Duke's Mansion, the place that had once trapped him in self-proof, was suddenly left behind by him.
It turns out that as long as you make up your mind, taking this step is so simple.
He didn't know that many years ago, when his brother Huo Yuhao left the Duke's Mansion alone with the White Tiger Dagger in his hand, he also had similar feelings. However, they were different after all, because he brought his mother with him.
After that, he has been traveling around and training himself. His mother changed her appearance in the Xingluo border and opened a small shop to sell some handmade gadgets. Although the food and clothing expenses are not as good as those in the Duke's Mansion, his mother is in the mood to dress herself up and smiles more often. He constantly trains himself in dangerous forests and suburbs, recalling the guidance of the mysterious voice, constantly correcting his own training methods, and his realm is also advancing by leaps and bounds. At the same time, he has his own understanding of the ecology of humans and soul beasts.
He suddenly found that without the harsh and critical eyes of the Duke's Mansion and the deliberate suppressive words of the Duchess, no one said he was disabled anymore, and he never felt that he was disabled. The awakening of the blood tiger martial spirit was just a natural result. His state of mind was peaceful, and the breakthrough became peaceful. It was during his stay in the forest, he sparred with a tiger soul beast friend every day, and suddenly he got enlightenment in the battle.
At this moment, he heard a familiar voice, and his eyes were filled with shock. After all he had been through, he still couldn't forget the voice that guided him that day. It was him - he changed his life.
"Hello." Huo Yuhao greeted him gently again.
"——Master!" Dai Luoli called out, and immediately fell in front of Huo Yuhao, ready to kowtow to him. Huo Yuhao was obviously frightened, and he quickly helped Dai Luoli up, even saying that there was no need to kowtow like this.
“The protagonist suddenly encounters a hermit who gives him advice… that’s just a joke.” Huo Yuhao reluctantly brushed away the grass leaves under his knees and suddenly blinked, “You don’t really believe it, do you?”
"I..." Dai Luoli blushed a little.
Huo Yuhao suddenly felt very guilty. Should he not burst his fantasy? However, he wanted to clarify their other identities. Since Dai Luoli had drawn a clear line between himself and the Duke's Mansion, it was understandable to say it out loud.
As expected, Dai Luoli started to argue: "If it wasn't for that kind of plot, I can't explain why you helped me that day! Could it be that you just happened to pass by? Is it such a coincidence?"
"It's not such a coincidence," Huo Yuhao said, "I did come to you on purpose."
"why?"
"Because I am indeed your brother by blood."
They sat down to talk. Huo Yuhao started with the story of their mother and son. Dai Luoli opened his mouth wide and didn't close it until the end. He couldn't believe that he had such a brother in a similar situation. He had never met him, but they had walked a similar journey.
“Wait a minute,” he finally recovered from the shock of the story, “Huo Yun’er? Huo Yuhao?! Are you the new Imperial Master of the Sun Moon Empire?!”
Although he spent most of his time traveling, he still listened to some of the news. His mother would also talk about current affairs with the neighbors. Everything that had happened in the Sun-Moon Empire recently was a big change. Since he lived on the border of the Xing Luo Empire, he couldn't avoid eating melons.
“You probably don’t like this part.” Huo Yuhao shrugged. “After I came to Sun Moon, I went through some things. I became a family member with Hong Chen and his sister, and later helped His Royal Highness the Regent. So even though I am your brother by blood, due to your identity as a Xing Luo Empire citizen, you can call me brother however you like.”
"Brother, you are really my brother." Dai Luoli pulled his sleeve, "This matter doesn't affect you being my brother. I have been alone for these years... these years... and it's been lonely."
"Is your mother okay?"
"It's fine!" Dai Luoli patted his chest proudly, "They all know that she has a son who will soon become a Soul Emperor. No one around dares to mess with her! I even bought her a soul guide for self-defense."
In the civilian world, a Soul Emperor is already an amazing level of cultivation. A three-ring Soul Master can walk sideways in ordinary civilian areas.
Huo Yuhao stroked his chin in thought. After a moment's thought, he said, "I have an opportunity that can make you a stronger Soul Emperor. Do you want to come?"
"Brother, you're not going to trick me into going to the Sun Moon Empire to do hard labor, are you?"
“What are you talking about!” Huo Yuhao patted him. “I don’t look like that kind of person! To be honest, I really want to help you, as long as you don’t stab your brother in the back in the future.”
"There's nothing we can do if we run into them in a war."
“If a real war breaks out, will you be able to meet me?” Huo Yuhao smiled speechlessly. Dai Luoli was so innocent that it was scary. “I’m talking about my background. I have to find a chance to tell Dai Hao about this personally… For this surprise, I can’t spoil the story for him.” (End of this chapter)
