Douluo V: Taking advantage of Xiao Wu's naivety, I tricked her into becoming my wife.

But Gu Yuena clearly didn't intend to discuss it further; she raised her hand, and the lake water receded.

"Di Tian, ​​the auspicious beast has come from afar. Please entertain it for me."

"I need to rest, so I won't keep you company."

As soon as she finished speaking, her figure disappeared into the lake.

Huo Wu touched her nose; she felt like she had just been on the verge of death.

Ye Hua shrugged. "That's just her personality. You'll get used to it."

Seeing Gu Yuena leave, Di Tian felt bitter.

On one side is the lord he must obey, and on the other side is the auspicious beast symbolizing the prosperity of soul beasts. He is caught in the middle, and neither side is right!

Left with no other option, he stepped forward and said, "Ye Hua, what is it that you need to tell me?"

"Although the lord is angry with you, I believe she will not make things difficult for you."

"My business isn't urgent," Ye Hua smiled. "You should meet with your old friends first!"

Di Tian was bewildered. "Huh? I don't remember anyone visiting."

Ye Hua smiled without saying a word, and reached out to touch his brow.

Two illusory soul figures floated out from his soul ring.

As soon as the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm landed, it stretched lazily and took a deep breath with a look of utter bliss.

Ah—the feeling of freedom!

"The air of the Star Dou Great Forest!"

"There's no fishy smell from the bottom of the lifeless lake!"

"Comfortable!"

Xue Di followed closely behind, her short, icy blue hair covering her earlobes, and a faint chill swirling around her.

She surveyed her surroundings and nodded slightly to Emperor Tian.

Di Tian gasped, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Snow Emperor? What are you doing here—"

"It's just a failed tribulation."

Xue Di spoke with a touch of self-deprecating humor.

"I can't survive that calamity, so I might as well sacrifice myself to him and become his spirit. That's better than being reduced to ashes."

"Besides, the Qilin are our own people, at least they haven't benefited humans!"

Di Tian remained silent for a long time, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

“There are already too few powerful soul beasts in the world.”

"Today, another one has left us."

Upon hearing this, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's eyes suddenly gleamed.

"Since you said 'again,' then would I be considered a powerful and ferocious beast?"

"I've been around for at least a million years, so I should count, right?"

Di Tian looked disdainful, as if he were looking at moldy bread.

"You're my dessert."

"What?!"

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm immediately bristled.

He sprang up like a spring and pounced on Di Tian!

"Di Tian, ​​you've gone too far in bullying insects!"

"I haven't settled the score with you for locking me at the bottom of the lake and extracting my soul power back then!"

"I absolutely have to—"

Snapped.

Di Tian didn't even use his oppressive aura; he simply lifted it up with a wave of his hand.

Tianmeng Bingcan fell face down into the mud with a thud, leaving only her two legs kicking unwillingly.

"...I'll fight you to the death!"

"Ugh—ugh—"

Xue Di shook her head. "That's just how he is. Ignore him."

Di Tian's eyes were complicated. "It seems that your new system research has already shown initial results."

"Even non-spiritual soul beasts can become... uh, soul spirits!"

"This is all thanks to Brother Tianmeng!" Ye Hua squatted down and pulled Tianmeng Ice Silkworm out of the mud pit.

He casually brushed the broken leaves off the puppet, then turned to Di Tian, ​​his tone becoming serious.

"Di Tian, ​​I have come here to ask you to find a suitable 40,000-year-old soul spirit for her!"

"It would be best if she could absorb it here, since the life force can help stabilize her condition!"

Ye Hua points to the fire dance.

Di Tian glanced at her and said, "She has a good foundation. She can withstand a 40,000-year soul ring."

He raised his hand, closed his eyes for a moment, and dark golden soul power condensed at his fingertips, disappearing into the dense forest.

Moments later, a low tremor came from the southeast, and the bushes parted to the sides.

A colossal beast covered in crimson scales and treading on fire slowly approached!

Earth Flame Beast!

Its size is comparable to a truck, and the ground trembles when its four hooves touch the ground!

But when it got closer, it didn't adopt an aggressive stance; it simply lay down quietly.

“Lord Qilin,” its voice was old and hoarse, “the Beast God said you were looking for me.”

Ye Hua stepped forward, squatted down to look it in the eye, and spoke gently.

"Your lifespan is nearing its end; you know that yourself."

“I’m willing to give you a choice: to entrust your soul to a soul ring, retain your intelligence, and continue living with her.”

The Earth Flame Beast slowly raised its head, looked at Huo Wu, then at Ye Hua, a thoughtful look flashing in its eyes.

"To put it bluntly, it's a sacrifice, isn't it?" it uttered a long, low murmur.

“Not entirely,” Ye Hua admitted. “You can retain your intelligence and still see this world.”

"However, if she fails to become a god, you will also die in a few decades."

"Become a god? Decades?" The Earth Flame Beast shook its head. "The former is too far away, the latter should be enough."

"I'm going to die next year, so living a few decades longer is a bonus no matter what!"

Ye Hua nodded and looked at Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, "Begin."

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had already climbed up from the ground, brushed off the grass clippings from its robe, and looked refreshed.

He concentrated his spiritual power, which, like pale golden threads, probed into the brow of the Earth Flame Beast.

Guide its soul and soul power to slowly flow into Huo Wu's body.

Huo Wu sat cross-legged by the lake, ripples spreading across the water, a sense of vitality washing over her.

Her eyes were closed, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, but her expression remained calm.

Di Tian stood a few steps away, watching the whole thing.

What happened next left him speechless!

Chapter 259 What if I abducted both Violet and Jade...

The Earth Flame Beast's body gradually became transparent.

The crimson scales shattered into fine fragments like glass in the morning light, fluttering into the soul ring.

The moment the last crimson light entered the soul ring, Huo Wu's soul power surged dramatically!

She slowly opened her eyes and exhaled, "Level 61! Thank you, Teacher Ye!"

"It's alright," Ye Hua said, sensing her presence. "How do you feel?"

"Great, much better than I expected!" Huo Wu exclaimed.

"There was no resentment or rejection; it was as natural as water merging into the sea."

Di Tian frowned after hearing Huo Wu's words.

Seeing Di Tian's reaction, Huo Wu quickly released the Earth Flame Beast.
