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

I should go now. He should be safe here. Where should I go? Back to his spiritual sea? But I might no longer be his spirit… From now on, I might never be able to be with him again… The outside world has changed so much. I… I really want to go and see it. Goodbye, Yuhao, I'm leaving.

The Snow Empress's desolate voice slowly rang out as she gently touched Huo Yuhao's brow. "I want to be with you too, but I know you probably only want to be an ordinary person, and... you also... you're no longer a god. I need to find a way... I'll come back to find you..."

Pieces of white light drifted away, Huo Yuhao's pillow disappeared, and she transformed into a stream of light that floated out of the window. The eggshell melted away as well, and there was no trace of Xue Di in the entire room, only a faint chill remained.

Huo Yuhao felt the pillow in his hand disappear. He opened his eyes groggily and heard Na'er crying outside the door.

"Wang Dong?" Huo Yuhao asked instinctively, then shook his head violently. "No, it's Na'er... my memories... what happened to me?"

Huo Yuhao shook his head, suppressing the dull emptiness. He got out of bed and opened the door that Na'er had been knocking on almost until it was broken.

As soon as the door opened, they met Na'er's teary purple eyes.

"Brother!" Na'er saw Huo Yuhao come out and threw herself into his arms, choking back tears as she said, "Are you alright? Does your head still hurt? You scared me to death by ignoring me just now."

Huo Yuhao was momentarily dazed: "Na'er, what's wrong? I just accidentally fell asleep. Don't cry, or you'll turn into a little kitten."

Su Yuewan interrupted impatiently, "Alright, alright, Na'er, your brother is really fine, you see..."

Before she could finish speaking, Na'er's soft, sweet voice came from in Huo Yuhao's arms. She gently snuggled up to him, extremely clingy and affectionate: "Brother, you smell so good, just like a girl... You said you were going to take a bath, but you're not taking one now. Are you trying to keep this scent?"

Huo Yuhao shuddered and quickly pushed Na'er out of his arms. He gripped her shoulders, feeling her delicate body trembling slightly. Na'er was crying, but she... was smiling. What was wrong with her?

Su Yuewan looked at Na'er's state with a puzzled expression. Why did Na'er seem a little off... Oh well, Na'er is so young and usually so cute, I must be overthinking it. She wisely kept quiet, turned around and went back to her room, quickly closing the door behind her.

Na'er bit her lip: "Brother, please don't lie to Na'er, okay? Tell me, what were you doing in the room just now?"

Huo Yuhao thought for a moment, then instead of replying to Na'er, he asked in return, "Na'er, do you know where my roommate Wang Dong went? And Xiao Xiao, Senior Brother Bei Bei, Teacher Xiao Ya, or maybe Teacher Zhou Yi?"

Na'er's body went limp, and she collapsed onto Huo Yuhao. She asked incredulously, "Brother... have you regained your memories? Will you leave me again?"

"Leave?" Huo Yuhao read the word over and over again.

"Na'er..." he said in a hoarse voice, "You're my only family now. I don't know why I have so many memories, but my intuition tells me there's a will in my head that tells me to live a peaceful life. I won't leave you, okay? Let's pinky swear."

"Okay!" Na'er replied happily, as if she had received the right answer. "Then I have a request that you have to grant me."

"What are your requirements?" Huo Yuhao looked at Na'er's happy little face.

"Your Dong'er is Na'er, you've got it wrong, you know?"

Huo Yuhao scratched his head: "What Dong'er? Isn't my roommate named Wang Dong?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his head started to throb again.

It seems my brother hasn't fully absorbed his memories yet. Na'er watched as Huo Yuhao's brow furrowed slightly before returning to normal. She silently thought to herself, "Sister Gu Yue, I'm sorry… This time, I want to be a little selfish. My brother only has me now. I will take good care of him. You go to the Spirit Pagoda first."

"Na'er?" Huo Yuhao looked at her, a blush rising on his cheeks. "Can you sleep in my room tonight... I feel so empty inside."

Na'er stood there stunned, her eyes slightly dazed, and the corners of her mouth slightly upturned. She had been worried that Huo Yuhao would have to sleep separately from her in the three rooms, but now that he had actually offered to let her stay, all her previous worries vanished.

"Brother, go take a shower quickly. I'll warm the bed for you. Will you stay with me tonight?"

"Okay, Na'er, I'm going to take a shower first." Huo Yuhao agreed, went back to his room to get his clothes, and went to the bathroom to shower.

Ten minutes later, Huo Yuhao, wearing the white clothes Aunt Su had prepared for him, pushed open the door. Inside, Na'er rolled around in bed, saying, "Brother, come and keep me company."

Huo Yuhao walked over helplessly and lay down on the bed. Na'er then hugged a pillow and pressed herself against him.

Ugh, Huo Yuhao was suffocating under Na'er's weight. He instinctively raised his hand to push her away, but accidentally caused them both to roll over. The situation instantly reversed, and he found himself firmly pinning Na'er down beneath him.

"Brother...you..."

Huo Yuhao looked at Na'er, his eyes filled with a hint of panic, and a blush quickly spread across his cheeks. His gaze flickered, and he felt the soft, elastic touch on his hand, his body instantly stiffening. Before he could react, Na'er gently raised her head, kissed his cheek, wrapped her arms around his neck, and buried her entire body in her embrace.

"Brother... is the best. Sleep, don't move... let me hold you for a while."

Huo Yuhao felt the warmth of Na'er's body, which made him tremble slightly.

"I'm sorry... Na'er..."

Silent all night.

The warm sunlight from the east, carrying the faint glow emanating from the ancient golden tree, streamed through the window. Huo Yuhao opened his eyes; his pupils, unlike before, had returned to their heterochromatic color.

This isn't my Shrek Academy. His face paled slightly. His teacher was the Pavilion Master, and Na'er's master was also the Pavilion Master. The Golden Tree was still there, only much larger. The scent of milk slowly enveloped his nose. Na'er was still in the same position as last night, her long eyelashes draped over her eyelids, still fast asleep.

Huo Yuhao exerted tremendous effort to transform himself from a human-shaped body pillow into a real one. He walked to the window, looking at Seagod Island in the distance. What happened to my sister in the end...? Where did Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, and Senior Brother go?

He knew deep down that he might have time-traveled or been reborn, and that a long time had passed in this new timeline. "Brother Tianmeng...where have you gone again..."

Just as Huo Yuhao was lost in thought, someone suddenly hugged his waist, and a soft, sweet voice sounded in his ear: "Brother, you're bad, you didn't wake me up..."

Huo Yuhao turned around, a fleeting look of melancholy on his face: "Let's go, Na'er. Perhaps the Pavilion Master and Elder Cai are waiting for us outside."
