Douluo: The Dragon King - I Planted the Divine Tree in Douluo.

Chapter 179 The Self-Destructing Truck, Hyotei

"love me?"

Hyotei, as if they had heard the most absurd joke, raised the corners of their mouths and said with merciless sarcasm, "Tenmu, you dare to say those two words to me?"

"Don't you know what you did to me back then?"

Tianmeng froze, her face turning deathly pale. She hurriedly tried to defend herself, "Bingbing, I love you so much, I acted impulsively..."

Tianmeng was too ashamed to say what came next.

Huo Yuhao and his group weren't the only ones who underwent trials in Qiankun Wenqing Valley back then; he and Bingdi were also unexpectedly drawn into it.

After surviving a near-death experience, he and Hyotei successfully escaped.

Later, Qiankun Wenqing Valley gave him two choices as a reward.

He couldn't resist choosing the former: a lifelong commitment to Hyotei or nothing happening at all.

Hyotei raised his head, his eyes filled with a coldness and hatred that had been suppressed for a long time and was about to overflow. "If it weren't for you forcing me in that way back then..."

"You think I'd be with you?"

Every word Hyotei uttered seemed like he was forcibly tearing open a wound he least wanted to touch.

Xue Di, who had remained silent from the beginning, suddenly stopped breathing upon hearing this; she could hardly believe her ears.

When she first saw Hyotei choose to be with Tenmu, she thought it was Tenmu's persistence that finally moved Hyotei.

Hyotei is now telling her that she's with Tenmu because Tenmu forced her into it.

"Bing'er, why didn't you tell me about this?"

Xue Di spoke in a hoarse voice.

At this moment, Xue Di felt as if her heart was being torn apart. She never expected that Bing Di, whom she had always doted on as a younger sister, would suffer such terrible treatment.

"Tell you?"

Hyotei sneered, "What's the use of telling you? Would you kill Huo Yuhao for me?"

"No, you won't. You'll just remain silent like a dead man."

"I……"

Snow Empress was rendered speechless by Ice Empress's retort, and then, completely flustered, she apologized to Ice Empress, "I'm sorry, Ice Empress, I'm so sorry!"

Hearing Xue Di's voice filled with regret and remorse, she would have forgiven Xue Di in the past.

But now she doesn't want to forgive anymore, nor does she want to accommodate Xue Di anymore.

Hyotei immediately mocked Yuki-tei without any politeness, saying, "Alright, stop with your meaningless apology!"

"Look at how weak you are now, you're nothing like the person I used to know."

"I must have been blind to have admired you back then."

Faced with Hyotei's accusations, Yuki-tei remained silent, bearing the burden in her heart. She owed Hyotei far too much.

Not satisfied with just a round of insults, Hyotei turned their attention back to Tang San.

"And Tang San, you bastard, don't think I don't know you were behind the Qiankun Asking Love Valley incident!"

"You just wait, you'll see how I kill your precious son!"

After finally getting to the bottom of what she had kept inside for years, Ice Emperor felt much better and, regardless of Tang San's reaction, decisively severed her connection with Huo Yuhao.

After Hyotei cut off communication and refused to contact him, Tang San's face was terrifyingly gloomy.

Since he ascended to the realm of gods, no one has threatened him like this for a long time.

Seeing that Tang San was a little angry, Huo Yuhao was startled and quickly stepped in to smooth things over, "Father-in-law, don't be angry. Bingdi only said that because she was angry."

"Wait a moment, Xue Di will help to persuade them."

"Don't you think so, Yukitei!"

As Huo Yuhao spoke, he kept gesturing to Xue Di with his eyes, but Xue Di's response chilled him to the bone.

"Huo Yuhao, from this day forward, our grudges are settled. I owe you nothing!"

After saying that, Xue Di decisively left the group chat.

"..."

Looking at the Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor who had broken ties with him, Huo Yuhao's face showed an indescribable bitterness.

He regretted it. He regretted not telling the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor about it, and he regretted not moving the Ice Emperor's people away.

He had the opportunity to relocate the Ice Emperor's people from the far north ahead of time, but he was afraid that doing so would give Destroyer a handle to use against Tang San, so he chose to give up.

Ignoring the complex emotions on Huo Yuhao's face, Tang San remained silent for a moment before decisively ordering Huo Yuhao, "Yuhao, terminate the contract with the two of them."

"Terminate the contract?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao exclaimed in disbelief, "Father-in-law, if I break the contract between the Ice Empress and the Snow Empress, then they...!"

Seeing Huo Yuhao's hesitant expression, Tang San anxiously tried to persuade him, "Yuhao, I know what you're worried about, but have you forgotten that their true forms are soul beasts?"

"Even if the contract is broken, the two of them can still live for a long time, long enough to last until we come back."

After hearing Tang San's explanation, Huo Yuhao's face showed a hint of interest.

The reason he didn't immediately obey Tang San's order to break the contract between Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor was because he feared that Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor would die of old age on Douluo Continent after losing his power.

If Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor really died on Douluo Continent due to lifespan limitations, Huo Yuhao probably would never forgive himself for the rest of his life.

Seeing that Huo Yuhao was wavering, Tang San immediately pressed his advantage, "Yuhao, please!"

"This is my request as a father."

"For Wu Lin's safety, I have to ask you to limit their power."

After Tang San finished speaking, he made a move to kneel down before Huo Yuhao.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao quickly helped Tang San up. "Father-in-law, I understand. I will terminate my contract with Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor."

Tang San breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Huo Yuhao agreed to terminate his contract with Bingdi and Xuedi.

There was a reason why Tang San was so eager for Huo Yuhao to break his contract with Bingdi and Xuedi.

As Huo Yuhao's soul spirits, Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor not only reached the divine level after following Huo Yuhao to the God Realm, but also, under the nurturing of the divine spiritual energy of the God Realm, stepped into the divine level themselves.

Back then, Huo Yuhao was only a first-level god, but the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor were able to unleash power comparable to a second-level god by leveraging Huo Yuhao's divine position.

Now that Huo Yuhao has stepped into the realm of a half-step God King, even a first-level god would have to temporarily avoid the combined might of the Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor.

The backup plan he left for his father was only equivalent to a full-force attack from a first-level deity.

If the power of the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor is not restricted, their combined strength would be enough to destroy all the backup plans he left on the Douluo Continent.

"What happened?"

"Could it be that Tang San and the others have made contact with Hyotei and the other two?"

Looking at the Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor, who had been motionless since the beginning, Su Mo secretly began to speculate.
