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

The small boat came to a stop on the lake shore. Huo Yuhao was still staring blankly at his reflection in the water. He didn't sense anything amiss around him; he just felt happy at this moment, and simply gazing at the lake was a pleasure.

"Brother, did you remember something?"

Na'er's voice came from beside him. Huo Yuhao turned his head but didn't reply. He simply left the ship silently and followed Teacher Shen Yi inside.

When Na'er saw that Huo Yuhao had actually abandoned her, her eyes immediately reddened.

"elder brother……"

She felt a mix of emotions, but she could only forcefully suppress the tears welling up in her eyes. Then she quickly caught up with Huo Yuhao and moved closer to him. Huo Yuhao stiffened slightly, but did not resist. Instead, he took her hand and followed Shen Yi and Su Yuewan forward.

Unlike the technologically advanced outer courtyard, Shrek Academy's inner courtyard exudes an ancient charm that seems to stretch endlessly. The entire Poseidon Island is like an untouched primeval forest, with buildings appearing to have grown out of the ground. In this environment, the entire Poseidon Lake is enveloped in a rich life force, which grows stronger the further one goes in.

Shen Yi led them to a wooden house. The house was simple and unadorned, but the wood had clear carvings that emitted a faint golden light. The most eye-catching feature was the towering tree not far from the house, whose grain was even more magnificent than the house itself, and from which the life energy of the entire Seagod Island was continuously released.

Shen Yi led Huo Yuhao and the other two into the house. The house was not large, with only three rooms and a bathroom. The furniture inside was made of wood with grain patterns, clean and simple, and the whole house exuded a faint wood fragrance.

Shen Yi sighed softly. She had worked so hard for so long, yet she hadn't been qualified to live in this house. The only time she had ever been here, she had brought several little children with her. Her tone softened: "You all rest well, I'll head back now."

After Shen Yi left, Su Yuewan began to look around. She smiled, her eyes crinkling, "This place is so comfortable. Although it's a bit simple, I feel like even taking a breath here can prolong my life."

She chose a wooden cabin as her bedroom and even carved the letters "SYW" on the door. She picked up the soul-guided storage device Aunt Su had given her, her face showing a hint of sadness: "I haven't seen Mom in so long, I miss home a little..."

She quickly composed herself, took out many pretty dresses from her memory, went into the room, and locked the door.

The next second, her body went limp and she collapsed in front of the wooden door, panting slightly.

"How could this happen... Why were all my thoughts going back to the past? It's like I've been affected by something. I miss my mom, my brother... and my dad so much..."

Huo Yuhao watched Su Yuewan enter the room. The sunset was beautiful, almost gone, and darkness was gradually falling. He felt a lightness in his hand and turned to look.

Na'er released his hand, her face and eyes red.

"Brother, I'm going to change my clothes. You tore them. And—"

The blush on her face vanished instantly, leaving her pale. Her eyes remained slightly red, but a glint of purple light flashed in them.

"Brother, who is this Dong'er you're talking about? Don't you only have Na'er?"

Upon hearing Na'er's words, Huo Yuhao felt as if something had pierced his mind.

"I...I don't know. I'm so tired, Na'er. I'm going to take a shower. My head is throbbing."

Seeing that he wasn't acting, Na'er's coldness slowly softened: "Brother, if you're not feeling well, just tell Na'er, and I'll give you a massage and you'll feel better. My technique is very good!"

Huo Yuhao nodded and went into another room. He took out some clothes and necessities from the ice-blue soul-guided storage device that Aunt Su had given him. He first made a mattress on the wooden bed and lay down on it.

He first looked at the golden ancient tree outside the window, and for some reason, he uttered these four words.

"I think I'm remembering something. My name is Huo Yuhao, and I really only have one family left. My mother is dead, my father is my enemy, and I only have my younger sister. But this place seems different from my fragmented memories..."

"I seem to remember having a roommate named Wang Dong; maybe I should ask him. And Xiao Xiao, she's also a good friend of mine. What about Senior Brother and Teacher Xiao Ya? Wait, I remember, didn't I already join Shrek Academy?"

He muttered to himself, the confusion in his eyes unfathomable.

As night deepened, the branches and leaves of the ancient golden tree swayed gently in the wind, bathing the wooden house in a soft golden light.

"Sect Master, I don't understand. Why make them live there? There are plenty of places to stay in the academy. Why make them live next to the ancient tree? The inner academy students will object."

The speaker was dressed in a white robe and held a cane; it was none other than Old Cai.

Yun Ming looked down at the small wooden house, without replying to her.

"The sun has set, get some rest. You'll understand when the sun rises again."

Old Cai paused slightly upon hearing Yun Ming's words: "But, Huo Yuhao..."

"My mind is made up, and I trust my judgment." Before Elder Cai could finish speaking, Yun Ming interrupted him, "Also, don't let anyone know what happened today."

Old Cai dared not say more, and could only nod in agreement before disappearing from the spot.

"Brother Ming."

A gentle, soothing voice came from behind him. Yun Ming's serious expression instantly softened. He was enveloped in the soft, fragrant embrace of her, and a head of dark green hair drifted down to his nose. The delicate scent of magnolia made him relax completely.

"Yali, what's wrong with you today?"

Yali's beautiful cheeks puffed out slightly, and her eyes curved into a smile: "I just missed you. Also, I heard you took on a disciple, a little girl, who's quite cute. I heard her brother hasn't been feeling well all day."

Yun Ming's face immediately stiffened. He coughed and said, "Well, I was only trying to help her. I was wrong. I won't be so impulsive again."

Seeing his reaction, Yali scoffed, "Come on, it's always like this. I want to meet that boy with the same name as Ancestor Lingbing tomorrow. I have a feeling something's off about him."

Yun Ming sighed softly, "Indeed. I sensed that the Golden Ancient Tree seemed to like him, but also harbored a sense of dissatisfaction..."

Huo Yuhao had been lying in bed for a long time, his breathing even, but his face was still pale and his brows were slightly furrowed. He was asleep, with his clothes, which he had prepared for a bath, lying next to him, along with a few small pieces of eggshell that shimmered with a pale blue luster.

He was hugging a large, snow-white cushion, which emitted a faint cool aura. Huo Yuhao buried his head in the cushion and gently rubbed it. The cushion had a picture of a girl in a plain white dress on it, with strands of white hair falling on Huo Yuhao's face, making him feel ticklish and at ease.

The pillow reached out its slender hand and gently stroked Huo Yuhao's head, a rare gentle smile appearing on its face, its eyes filled with unwavering doting affection.

Looking at Huo Yuhao's sleeping face so close to hers, she couldn't resist leaning in, her nose gently touching his. In the end, she turned away, her face slightly flushed, and sighed softly.

She ultimately didn't dare.

However, she was curious as to why her body, like before, had hatched from an egg and was still in its adult form. Most importantly, she discovered that she seemed to be able to leave Huo Yuhao on her own, transforming from a soul spirit back into the Ice and Snow Maiden she had been formed from the primordial energy of heaven and earth. Moreover, she sensed that her strength level had reached the upper limit of the Douluo Continent.

She couldn't understand why she was the only one who woke up, while Tianmeng, Bingdi, and the others remained silent.

Just as Xue Di was pondering the reason, there was a gentle knock on the door, and a soft, tearful voice sounded from outside.

"Brother, are you asleep? Are you alright? You said you were going to take a shower, why haven't you come out yet? Yuewan and I are both finished showering. Please don't lock the door next time, okay? Open the door quickly, or I'll barge in! Na'er is so scared!"
