Douluo Continent: Outwitting the Ceiling of Wisdom - Yuhao Faks His Death for Ten Thousand Years

Chapter 108 Huo Yuhao and the Snow Empress

"He's gone. There's no one else here, so I came to keep you company."

Xue Di gripped Huo Yuhao's hand tightly, her cool fingertips gently caressing his palm.

Then, meeting his gaze, which was full of doubt and tenderness, she leaned forward slightly and gently placed a kiss on his lips—soft, cool, and tinged with shyness and longing.

Huo Yuhao was slightly stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting Xue Di to suddenly kiss him.

After realizing what was happening, a doting smile appeared in his eyes, and he stretched out his arm to hug Xue Di tightly.

Immediately, Huo Yuhao responded to her kiss in a very domineering way, carefully savoring her cool, soft lips and tongue, his tenderness tinged with an undeniable possessiveness.

The atmosphere in the room instantly became warm and intimate, free from the noise of the outside world and the pressure of cultivation, filled only with the tender affection between the two.

A moment later, their faces, which had been pressed together, slowly separated. Xue Di's cheeks flushed slightly, her eyes were filled with shyness, and her breathing became a little rapid.

She leaned gently on Huo Yuhao's shoulder, feeling his warm embrace and steady heartbeat, slowly calming the surging shyness in her heart and the blush on her face.

After calming down, Xue Di raised her head, looked at Huo Yuhao's profile, and said softly, "Xiao Hongchen came with you to this era ten thousand years later, far away from everything from the past, and has been silently accompanying and helping you. It's time for him to have his own happiness."

She paused, her tone carrying a hint of admiration: "That girl named Mu Xi has an extraordinary martial spirit, comes from a family of blacksmiths, and has exceptional talent for cultivation."

More importantly, I could tell that her feelings for Xiao Hongchen were genuine. Her personality, seemingly cold on the outside but warm on the inside, reminded me of a part of my past self.

The two of them must have spent a considerable amount of time together, and it's obvious they know each other well and have excellent chemistry. So, Yuhao, do you think they're a good match?

Huo Yuhao gently held Xue Di's slightly cool hand, and after listening to her words, he nodded with great certainty.

"Xue'er is right, that's what I think too."

I just don't know what my brother-in-law is really thinking. Ultimately, matters of the heart are not something outsiders can decide for him.

.

"Yes, these things can't be forced." Xue Di smiled gently and suggested softly, "After he comes back, you can find out what he's thinking, and then we can help him out more."

"Xue'er is so thoughtful." Huo Yuhao's eyes were full of warmth as he teased softly, "If Brother Xiao knew that you, the dignified Lord of the Far North, were so concerned about his life's most important matter, you would be overjoyed."

"We've always been family, Yuhao, what's the big deal?" Xue Di said with a smile, her eyes crinkling.

Huo Yuhao thought to himself: I have to say, even the high and mighty Ice Emperor of the North has the same gossipy thoughts as ordinary women, which is quite adorable.

And so, before Xiao Hongchen returned, Huo Yuhao and Xue Di enjoyed a rare moment of time alone together in the room.

The two chatted softly about everyday matters, their tenderness sometimes like water and sometimes like fire as they nestled together, filling the air, which had become chilly due to the Snow Emperor's appearance, with a faint warmth.

It wasn't until Huo Yuhao's mental detection, which he had been tacitly activating, detected that Xiao Hongchen was slowly walking towards the room that he reluctantly released Xue Di from his arms.

Her body, which had been cold, warmed slightly in his arms, and her skin became soft and warm.

Huo Yuhao softly bid farewell to her avatar in the real world, and Xue Di's figure flickered faintly before returning to his spiritual sea.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door.

Huo Yuhao opened the door and immediately saw Xiao Hongchen with an undisguised smug look on his face, clearly in a very good mood.

"Where have you been, Brother Xiao?"

Xiao Hongchen walked straight into the room, grinned at Huo Yuhao, and said in a relaxed tone, "What else could it be? It's just that the East Sea City Blacksmith Association held a meeting to discuss the arrangements for participating in the forging competition."

"I see." Huo Yuhao nodded knowingly, then casually chuckled, "So, for you, the junior group's forging competition was just a total stomp on easy targets, wasn't it?"

Having spent so much time with Huo Yuhao, Xiao Hongchen and the others had already learned quite a few of Earth's slang terms, and they immediately burst into laughter upon hearing this.

"Of course!" He raised an eyebrow smugly. "My current forging level is only known to Teacher Mu Chen, Teacher Zhen Hua, and Mu Xi."

Even if he only uses the superficial level four blacksmith skill, winning the junior group championship would be a piece of cake.

As a reincarnation of a Super Douluo who was already ten thousand years ago, his Soul Master cultivation has been going smoothly all the way, which makes him feel no particular sense of accomplishment.

However, forging this brand-new skill brings him real satisfaction with every breakthrough.

Upon hearing the name "Mu Xi" naturally uttered by Xiao Hongchen, Huo Yuhao immediately revealed a meaningful smile, which made Xiao Hongchen feel inexplicably uneasy.

"Speaking of your 'senior sister'—Brother Xiao, how's your relationship going now?"

Xiao Hongchen was taken aback at first, then smiled awkwardly, knowing in her heart that Huo Yuhao must have seen through her thoughts.

Facing his closest friend and family member, he didn't bother to hide anything. Scratching his head, he said somewhat embarrassedly, "With her—it's pretty good, hehe."

"Hmm, not bad."

Huo Yuhao deliberately dragged out his words, nodding as he looked at him, his smile impossible to hide.

"Mu Xi is actually a very nice girl. She seems arrogant and unapproachable, but she's a completely different person in front of you."

He paused, then stepped forward and patted Xiao Hongchen on the shoulder, his tone earnest: "Get along well with her. If she needs any help in the future, just tell me. She can also talk to Meng'er and Ye Guyi about her worries. Good luck!"

"————Okay, Yuhao."

Xiao Hongchen's cheeks flushed slightly, and she awkwardly avoided his overly enthusiastic gaze.

"Oh dear, you've lived this long for so long, why are you still so shy when something like this happens? This won't do."

Huo Yuhao walked over to the sofa with a smile and sat down. He patted the empty seat next to him and beckoned with a gossipy look on his face: "Come here and tell me about you and her. I, the Spirit Ice Douluo, am very curious."

Xiao Hongchen's cheeks flushed even redder and her ears burned from Huo Yuhao's teasing. She scratched her head and dawdled to the sofa, sitting down and avoiding his gaze. Her tone was somewhat uneasy: "Yuhao, you're always making fun of me! There's nothing to say. We just forge together at the Blacksmith Association in Donghai City and chat."
