Douluo Continent, Reborn: Yuhao and the Silver Dragon Keep Their Appointment

Huo Yuhao turned around and found that Na'er's eyes were terrifyingly purple, even emitting specks of purple light, and a strange smile appeared on her lips, making her look like a monster with her silver hair.

The surrounding atmosphere was unusually cold, the air almost seemed to be melting, and the person looked terrifying. But the next instant, just as Huo Yuhao turned around, Na'er instantly returned to her original obedient self, only with a hint of grievance, and the surrounding atmosphere gradually calmed down.

The fat man had unknowingly fallen to the ground, his back completely soaked, and large beads of sweat clung to his forehead. The girl next to Huo Yuhao had fainted, and even the iron bars of the cage showed signs of slowly crumbling. Everyone around was too frightened to breathe.

The already eerie atmosphere inside the iron cage became even more terrifying; almost everyone dared not breathe, and even taking a deep breath was a luxury. Huo Yuhao, however, did not sense any change. The aura that Na'er had just released perfectly avoided him; he only felt that the air seemed to have gotten a little colder.

The fat man was already sitting on the ground, and the girl beside him had fainted. He frowned slightly and waved for Na'er to come over. Seeing that he hadn't noticed anything wrong, Na'er smiled slightly, then quickly walked to him, gently leaned on his shoulder, and slowly closed her eyes, seemingly enjoying it. She asked in a childish voice, "Brother, what's wrong?"

Huo Yuhao didn't notice her unusual behavior. He gently stroked her long, silvery-white hair, his tone filled with concern: "Na'er, are you alright? Do you know what just happened?"

Then Huo Yuhao looked at the others, who were also scratching their heads. The fat man stood up in a disheveled state, asking in confusion, "That was terrifying! I felt like I was trapped in an icy sea, freezing cold, I got goosebumps, and it felt like I was choking on seawater."

He then wiped the sweat from his brow, looked at Na'er, and seeing her delicate face and sweet smile, asked, "Big brother, is this your sister? Why did she call you 'brother' just now?"

Huo Yuhao nodded, then looked at the girl who had fainted and sighed helplessly, "It seems we're in a bit of trouble now..."

At this moment, Na'er leaned gently on his shoulder, her eyes filled with indescribable joy. "Brother cares about me first! That girl really stole his affection from me." She knew why this was happening; perhaps it was because of the extremely awkward emotions Gu Yuena had contorted in despair, which had given her a kind of illness. This feeling of fear of loss would drive her to the brink of collapse, to the point that even with amnesia, her thoughts had become that as long as she erased everything that could distract her brother, she could possess him entirely.

Suddenly, someone exclaimed, "Brother, look! These iron pillars seem to have signs of damage!"

Huo Yuhao gently helped Na'er to her feet, then stood up and walked over. Sure enough, what that person had said was true; the surface of these iron fences showed signs of cracking. Huo Yuhao gently grasped each iron post, and with a slight pull, the posts emitted a dull thud, the cracks widened, and the posts bent slightly.

He then exerted force again, and a faint color appeared on his palm, quickly disappearing without a trace. With a snap, the iron pillar broke. The two iron pillars bent to both sides, but the opening was still not big enough. Then Huo Yuhao grasped the two unbent iron pillars again and exerted force, and those two iron pillars bent as well. Taking three steps at a time, the opening slowly widened.

A soft cheer came from behind, and the fat man even waved his hand. Only Na'er's eyes were unusually empty. She looked at the seven-colored object in Huo Yuhao's hand, and something terrible seemed to flash in her eyes. A tear even rolled down her cheek.

In a short while, Huo Yuhao tore the hole open completely and waved his hand. The fat man was the first to walk over and try to crawl into the hole, but because of his large size, half of his body got stuck.

The fat man said somewhat awkwardly, "Um... could you kick me, big brother?"

Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow, kicked the fat man in the butt, sending him flying. The fat man yelled, then stood up, clutching his backside, patting his chest and saying, "I'll go check the wind first!" He then ran outside, his butt sticking out.

The remaining people also crawled into the cave entrance. Inside the iron cell, only the unconscious girl, Na'er, and Huo Yuhao remained. Huo Yuhao saw this and tried to pick up the unconscious girl, but as soon as he bent down, he saw Na'er stop him.

Her fingers were faintly white, even bearing traces of her nails. Her face was slightly pale, yet a strange smile played on her lips. Her voice was coquettish, completely different from her usual soft and limp tone. She gently tucked Huo Yuhao's arm into her bosom and whispered, "Brother, don't hold her anymore, let me do it."

Seeing her unusual behavior, Huo Yuhao pulled his hand away, his voice urgent: "Na'er, stop it, she's unconscious, I can't abandon her."

Na'er wasn't angry when he broke free. However, the girl had somehow woken up, but her eyes had changed. Her once bright eyes had turned gray, and the emptiness in them no longer held the fear or shyness of before. Her face was completely expressionless. The girl slowly walked towards the cave entrance, crawled through, and didn't say a word the entire time. Even her movements as she crawled out were stiff.

Huo Yuhao frowned, but before he could speak, Na'er grabbed his wrist, buried her face in his chest, listened to his slightly rapid heartbeat, and said softly, "Brother, you promised Na'er yesterday. If you lie to me again, I can't guarantee what I might do."

Huo Yuhao frowned upon hearing this, a strange image flashing through his mind. Why could that girl stand up despite being so badly injured? And something seemed very wrong with her… Why did those iron pillars suddenly become erect, and it seemed like they had just formed? How did Na'er become like this…?

Before he could think any further, he heard the fat man's soft shout: "Big brother, hurry up! There seems to be some noise outside!"

Huo Yuhao waved his hand to the outside, dispelling his doubts. He then patted Na'er's head and said seriously, "Na'er, let's go out first. You should be more nervous. Why aren't you scared? And what did you mean by what you just said?"

Na'er hesitated for a moment, then obediently crawled into the hole. Being small, she quickly slipped out and looked behind her; Huo Yuhao had also nimbly crawled out as well. Na'er then replied, "With brother here, Na'er isn't afraid."

Na'er didn't answer Huo Yuhao's other questions, but just smiled gently, turning back into the sensible and adorable girl next door.

In the blink of an eye, the group had reached the place where the sunlight was coming from, a locked iron gate. Huo Yuhao took the lead and quietly walked up, peeking through the crack in the door at the scene outside. It wasn't some desolate wilderness, but a lush forest.

With his keen eyesight, he quickly spotted several flashy-looking young people approaching from afar, followed by several men in black. Huo Yuhao's brow furrowed slightly as he raced through the air. Finally, he kicked the iron gate and rammed it with all his might…
