Douluo: Dragon King Huo Yuhao Lives Ten Thousand Years Later

Chapter 97 Farewell
At night, Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena also stayed temporarily in the hotel where Xue Di was staying.

In the room where Gu Yuena was, she sat on the bed, recalling her experiences today.

The first meeting with Xue Di, becoming her apprentice... and finally stopping at what Huo Yuhao said.

"When you understand, we'll talk again."

Want to talk again?
"Dududu-"

The sound of the soul communicator interrupted Gu Yuena's thoughts. She took out the soul communicator and saw the number on it, her expression froze.

No wonder I always felt like I had forgotten something. It turned out to be about Teacher Leng. She should have arrived in Donghai City, right?

Gu Yuena quickly answered the call, and a projection appeared in mid-air.

The advanced soul guide communicator has a video call function, but she doesn't usually use it.

In the projection, Leng Yaozhu's face and the background behind her gradually became clear. In the picture, she was sitting on the edge of the bed, her long, white legs crossed, a gentle smile on her face.

But when she saw Gu Yuena, her eyes changed slightly, and she began to observe Gu Yuena's surroundings vaguely.

This is... in a hotel?

"Na'er... are you at the hotel?" Leng Yaozhu didn't question why her leaky little jacket had forgotten her. Instead, she asked, "Where's Huo Yuhao?"

"Yuhao is in the next room."

Leng Yaozhu heard this and stared at Gu Yuena quietly for a moment before asking, "Na'er, tell me the truth, what are you thinking?"

Gu Yuena was stunned and fell silent.

……

In the next room, Huo Yuhao held the Ice God Pearl in his hand, thinking about what he had gained today.

The Ice God Pearl can enhance the ultimate ice, and it also contains the power of ice laws, which is beneficial for shaping the divine position.

Including the Body Sect, by now, the basic resources for the sublimation of both martial spirits have been found...

"She's leaving too."

Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, not feeling very excited. He stood up and walked out of the room, coming to the pavilion behind the hotel.

The moonlight was like water, sprinkling around the pavilion and covering the earth with silver light.

Inside the pavilion, the Snow Queen sat upright on a stone bench, her white dress whiter than snow, blending seamlessly into the surrounding scenery. Her features were picturesque, yet tinged with a certain coldness and aloofness.

But when she saw Huo Yuhao coming over, the coldness in her eyes disappeared, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. "Can't sleep either? Come and sit for a while."

Xue Di stretched out her hand and pointed to the place next to her.

Huo Yuhao nodded, walked over and sat down beside her, looking at the bright moon in the sky together.

Wisps of elegant fragrance float in the air, bringing peace of mind.

Neither of them spoke for a moment, but just sat together in silence. After a while, Huo Yuhao finally said, "Are you leaving?"

Xue Di nodded slightly, "Well, I've met you and given you what I should give you. I plan to go back to the Far North to help you pave the way."

If she stayed a little longer, she was worried that she would be reluctant to leave.

"...There's no need to be like this. Just have some faith in me." Huo Yuhao smiled helplessly.

Xue Di turned her gaze from the lonely moon in the sky to Huo Yuhao and said softly, "I have much more confidence in you than in myself."

"I can still help you now, but when we become gods, I may not be able to keep up with you, just like ten thousand years ago... So let me protect you for a while now."

"..."

Huo Yuhao let out a breath, "Stay a little longer tomorrow. I've learned some new dishes in recent years, and I'd like to make them for you. Let's catch up."

"Okay." Xue Di smiled and nodded.

Afterwards, the two chatted for a long time, talking about the days when Xue Di taught Huo Yuhao in the Far North, the experience of going to Mingdu together to "strike a blow", Xue Di's guidance to Su Tong, and being called "Master's Wife" by the latter... The experiences that Huo Yuhao knew and the stories that he didn't know gradually came out of Xue Di's mouth. Some of them made him smile knowingly, while some made him feel a little embarrassed.

But looking at the Snow Empress's peaceful smile, Huo Yuhao's heart also calmed down. He smiled slightly and mentioned some interesting things that the Snow Empress didn't know, which made the Snow Empress laugh softly.

Just like that, time passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye, it was three o'clock in the morning. Xue Di glanced at the sky and said softly, "By the way, it will take time to make the alloy of the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal. How about giving me a gift now?"

"Just tell me."

Xue Di opened her red lips slightly, "Name."

There are some things that she always cares about.

Huo Yuhao looked up and met the clear eyes of the Snow Empress. A sudden inspiration came to him. After a moment of hesitation, he said softly:

"...Xue'er?"

Huo Yuhao's tone was gentle, just a little bit stiff.

After these two words fell, Xue Di was silent for a moment, then stood up and said, "It's too abrupt, let's not call you that for now. It's getting late, I'm going back to my room to rest, you should get some rest too."

After saying that, Xue Di turned and left, her steps calm and graceful, but she couldn't hide the blush on her face.

It's obvious that she can remain calm if Bing'er calls her, so why does it feel completely different when Yuhao calls her that?
It's heart-wrenching...

Huo Yuhao sat in the pavilion and watched Xue Di leave until her figure disappeared, then he looked up at the night sky.

This was the first time he had seen Xue Di like this...

……

The next afternoon, the setting sun shone onto the tarmac of the Soul Guidance Airport, and a hint of parting melancholy hung in the air. Huo Yuhao and Xue Di stood by the French windows of the terminal, silently watching the Soul Guidance planes take off and land outside.

There were only the two of them here. Dark Phoenix Douluo seemed to have something to deal with and did not plan to return to the Far North with Snow Empress immediately. Gu Yuena, like before, left time for them.

"Be careful! If she doesn't know what's good for her, leave her to me." Huo Yuhao warned through voice transmission, "Don't indulge them!"

Xue Di wanted to pave the way for him, so the first thing he had to do was naturally to eliminate all other voices in the Far North.

The mermaid clan is based in the Far North Ice Sea. The Sea Princess among them is also at the Extreme Douluo level and is also the overlord of the Far North. In the sea, the former Snow Emperor may not be her opponent.

But that was just at the beginning.

"I see."

Xue Di smiled slightly, walked closer to Huo Yuhao, and leaned over to straighten his collar which was messed up by the wind at the airport.

"The road ahead is long. Don't just rush along. Remember to take care of yourself."

Huo Yuhao paused and spoke softly, "Well, you too, don't overwork yourself. See you later, this time... it won't be too long!"

Having said that, Huo Yuhao covered the area with his spiritual realm, stretched out his finger, and while Xue Di was leaning over, tapped her white forehead. A spatial mark landed on Xue Di's brow and slowly disappeared.

"My current grasp of spatial power is incomplete. Fortunately, my mental strength is improving at a good rate, but this is all I can do. At least I can know your safety."

Xue Di did not stop him and let Huo Yuhao do it. Then she touched the area between her eyebrows and seemed to have realized something.

This is a mark condensed by Yuhao's mental power with the help of his own understanding of the power of space. With Yuhao's current strength, he needs to rely on the Snow Emperor Order she left for the other party to reversely detect her condition.

But as Huo Yuhao's cultivation level recovered, he could do what she did.

"You haven't yet reached your peak, and you're worried about me."

Despite thinking so, the look in Snow Empress's eyes softened. After a moment's deliberation, she extended her spiritual power, causing the Snow Empress Token on Huo Yuhao's forehead to appear. She then used her spiritual power to leave another item behind. "I didn't want to do this originally, but now I think I'd better leave it here. It will save you from worrying about me."

Huo Yuhao was stunned. He sensed what the Snow Empress had left behind and was at a loss whether to laugh or cry for a moment.

So is this still a farewell?
Xue Di was by his side in a completely different form...
