In Douluo Continent, I am the mastermind behind the scenes.

Chapter 197. Your girlfriend is a male soul in a female body!

Looking at Gu Yuhan's slightly dejected figure, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but clench his fists. He vowed that even if he had to give up his dignity as a God King, he would cure his little Yuhan's illness.

In both his past and present lives, besides his mother Huo Yun'er, Wang Dong'er, and Wang Qiu'er, Gu Yuhan was the fourth woman to give him warmth. How could he possibly sit idly by and watch his beloved die?

With this in mind, Huo Yuhao knocked on... Zhu Ningyun's door.

With the two sisters recognizing each other, Zhu Ningyun's departure from the Haiwang family is a foregone conclusion. Rather than letting them benefit outside forces, Huo Yuhao would rather keep these two beauties in Shrek City, in... the Tang Sect!

dong dong dong...

"Here it comes, here it comes."

A pale pink figure opened the door. It was Zhu Ningyun, holding a lunchbox. The smile on her face froze the moment she saw the six members of the Tang Clan.

"You've come to see me...is there something you need?"

Zhu Ningyun put down the lunchbox in her hand and resumed her usual solemn and dignified demeanor.

"I..." Huo Yuhao swallowed hard and said cautiously, "Aunt Ningyun, we came to ask you about Yuhan's condition. As you saw, Aunt Ziying's behavior today makes it hard for me to trust her. We have no choice but to seek help from the kind and beautiful Aunt Ningyun to learn more about Yuhan's health so we can make some plans for the future."

After suffering so many beatings, our great King Huo has finally improved, learning to consider the feelings of others and know how to praise them.

Although Zhu Ningyun disliked Huo Yuhao, and even more so the five members of the Tang Clan who followed him, this play... had to go on. She could only suppress her discomfort and bring the six members of the Tang Clan into the room.

"The drinks on the coffee table are all bought for my sister. You can help yourselves if you want some. She has loved drinking fruit juice since she was little. In order to make sure that my sister and I could drink fruit juice, our mother would go to the village chief's house to help out whenever she had time."

"The village chief was a bald, strong man. He was a bit ugly, but he was a very kind person. Whenever my mother went to work, she would take my sister and me with her. Before leaving, she would secretly give each of us an apple so we could make juice for ourselves when we got home."

"My sister and I drank fruit juice, while my father drank it and my mother ate the tasteless pulp. Life was tough back then, but being together as a family made it feel less bitter. Instead, we lived with hope in our hearts."

"Decades later, my sister and I have both become revered with titles and have been able to recognize each other again, but our previous lives can never be returned to."

Hearing this, Tang Ya frowned and asked thoughtfully, "Um... Aunt Ningyun, if you yearn for family life so much, why don't you find a man and have a few more children?"

Zhu Ningyun chuckled softly, "That's different. What I crave isn't the joy of family life, but the companionship of those who have passed away. Once... my sister and I each have our own families, the bond between us sisters will fade, and that's not the ending I want to see."

"Hmph, rules are made by people. Only the weak abide by the rules; the strong only make them. My sister and I are living a perfectly good life together. Why should we fawn over men?"

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore, let's get down to business."

Zhu Ningyun picked up her teacup, took a sip of the black tea, looked in Huo Yuhao's direction, and slowly said, "As you all saw, in the banquet hall, neither I, nor Ziying, nor Long Xiaoyao told the truth in front of so many people. Perhaps... you won't like the truth."

Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, quickly stood up, cupped his hands in a gesture of respect towards Zhu Ningyun, and said, "I would be eternally grateful if Aunt Ningyun could enlighten me!"

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Zhu Ningyun silently put down her teacup and said with a solemn expression, "Gu Yuhan has two souls within her body, one male and one female."

"What?!" Huo Yuhao exclaimed angrily, "So, there's some old man, whose age is unknown, fighting with Yuhan for her body?"

"Quite the opposite," Zhu Ningyun said calmly. "Your Yuhan is that old man. Gu Yuhan's original soul is awakening for some reason."

ah????????

Upon hearing this, the six members of the Tang Clan were shocked. They finally understood why Zhu Ningyun, Zi Ying, and Long Xiaoyao had remained silent. The truth was indeed hard to accept.

Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth and said, "Aunt Ningyun, is there any way... to destroy Gu Yuhan's original soul? I don't care what her soul looks like, I just want the Yuhan that belongs to me."

Having learned from Wang Dong's example, Huo Yuhao wasn't too rigid about gender; he just wanted someone who would bring him warmth.

How much kindness could the man who single-handedly caused the Mingdu explosion possess?

"Your demands are too high. Even Haotian Douluo and Blue Silver Emperor might not dare to agree to them."

Zhu Ningyu said calmly, "You, Huo Yuhao, also heard it. Ziying is loyal to Gu Yuhan's body. No matter which soul in that body is destroyed, it will arouse Ziying's hostility. This is not a matter of money."

It's a very real question that the six members of the Tang Sect can't possibly not understand. The Zhu Ningyun and Zhu Ningyu sisters have already reached the pinnacle of this world. How could they possibly offend a Soul Master of the same level just because of some gold and silver?

"Then...is there no way to prepare another body to separate the two souls?"

Just then, Beibei raised his little hand and proposed a compromise, a solution that... would be acceptable to most people.

Zhu Ningyun pondered, "Theoretically, it's feasible, but the problem is... Gu Yuhan's original soul couldn't be the one that was separated. Would Huo Yuhao's Yuhan sister... no, I mean Yuhan sister, be willing to give up this hard-won body?"

The six members of the Tang Clan exchanged glances, their expressions not looking too good. Possessing that body was equivalent to controlling a large empire and three powerful Limit Douluo experts.

Give up? How could I possibly give up?

Once abandoned, it's hard to say what the true owner of that body might do to the Tang Sect.

I thought the Tang Clan could continue to develop peacefully, but now... sigh! What's going on?

How did this cute and innocent young girl turn into an old man of unknown age?
