While Ice Empress and Skydream Iceworm were quarreling noisily in Huo Yuhao's spiritual world, Huo Yuhao showed a genuine smile and said to Snow Empress,
"With such a powerful Snow Empress by my side now, I feel much more at ease about negotiating with Di Tian in the future."
Hearing his words, a faint blush actually appeared on Snow Empress's cold face.
Being spoken to like this, even Snow Empress felt a little happy and embarrassed.
However, Huo Yuhao, whose mood had become a bit lighthearted, did not notice her expression.
To be honest, at this moment, Huo Yuhao felt like he didn't even want to work hard anymore.
He was joking, of course. With one of the top peak powerhouses of the Douluo Continent by his side at all times, why would he still need to struggle? He could just lie flat and hug Snow Empress's thigh tightly.
But Huo Yuhao shook his head slightly and quickly abandoned that thought.
He would not forget the reason why Snow Empress and the others were willing to follow a small human like him: to become gods, to ascend to the heavens, and to achieve eternal life.
If he didn't strive hard himself, how could he even think about becoming a god?
Thus, even with such a powerful Snow Empress by his side, Huo Yuhao warned himself never to relax, never to overly rely on Snow Empress and slack off in his cultivation.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao had already reached the bottleneck of level forty. Following Snow Empress's advice, he planned to preserve part of the Ten Thousand-Year Ice Marrow and absorb it gradually after each new soul ring was obtained, maximizing the acceleration of his cultivation while avoiding falling into a deep sleep from absorbing too much at once.
"Then, the next step..."
Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes and stared into the distant horizon.
It was time to head to that land.
"I missed you guys so much! Ahhh!"
Meng Hongchen smiled helplessly as she hugged her wailing older brother, Xiao Hongchen.
Standing to the side, Huo Yuhao watched the scene with a warm smile. After arriving in Shrek City, he and Meng Hongchen had secretly contacted Xiao Hongchen and brought him out from Shrek Academy.
As blood siblings, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen naturally had communication soul tools.
When Xiao Hongchen saw the indicator light on his communicator flash, he couldn't believe it at first.
After all, the light meant Meng Hongchen was nearby, around Shrek Academy.
He checked it over and over again before finally stepping outside, only to be found by Huo Yuhao and Meng Hongchen.
To be honest, seeing his good brother Huo Yuhao and his younger sister Meng Hongchen appear before him, Xiao Hongchen was genuinely moved.
Being alone in a foreign land was never easy.
After hugging Meng Hongchen tightly, Xiao Hongchen silently walked up to Huo Yuhao and gave him a fierce bear hug.
Huo Yuhao patted him on the back.
After a moment, Xiao Hongchen let go.
His expression became solemn as he said to Huo Yuhao,
"Yuhao, little sister... thank you both. I never thought you would come all the way to this place just to see me."
Huo Yuhao smiled lightly.
"Senior Xiao, it's what we should do."
Xiao Hongchen then looked around cautiously at the surroundings in Shrek City.
His face turned serious.
"You... you didn't come alone, did you? This place, to be honest, especially for you, Yuhao, isn't safe at all."
After the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament ended a year and a half ago, Huo Yuhao had, without suspense, become the target of public hatred among Shrek Academy and all citizens of the Star Luo Empire.
On the tournament stage, he had shown no mercy, ruthlessly killing the heirs of the White Tiger and Spirit Cat clans. Even though all participants had signed death agreements, public anger could not be avoided.
Huo Yuhao's appearance had long been deeply etched in the minds of Shrek Academy students, especially the inner court disciples.
Xiao Hongchen feared that if any of those powerful inner court students saw Huo Yuhao, they would attack him on the spot out of hatred.
As an exchange student from the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, Xiao Hongchen was protected by strict academy regulations that forbade anyone from harming him. Even so, he often encountered hostile stares, cold shoulders, and even threats from Shrek Academy students.
Not to mention, Huo Yuhao's Ultimate Ice martial soul had already become widely known.
If the elders of Shrek Academy caught him, they would definitely detain him and prevent him from ever returning to the Sun Moon Empire.
But when Xiao Hongchen voiced his concerns, Huo Yuhao only responded with a cold smile.
"No need to worry, Senior Xiao. I have spiritual disguise techniques. Normal people won't notice me at all. Besides, if Senior Sister Meng and I dared to come here alone, it's because we have enough means to protect ourselves against any strong opponents. Otherwise, my teacher would never have permitted us to travel so far alone."
Only then did Xiao Hongchen feel slightly relieved. He smiled, choosing not to ask what those protective methods were.
He trusted Huo Yuhao's character—he wouldn't act without absolute confidence.
"In that case, as your host, let me treat you both to a good time in Shrek City!
Don't underestimate this place. Even though it's not as developed as Mingdu, there's no shortage of good food and fun!"
"Yay! You better not let us down, big brother!"
Meng Hongchen cheered, then naturally walked between Xiao Hongchen and Huo Yuhao and grabbed Huo Yuhao's hand.
This intimate and natural gesture made Xiao Hongchen's eyebrow twitch.
He had mentally prepared himself for this day to come, but actually seeing his beloved little sister already holding hands so naturally with another man still made his heart ache.
Seeing Huo Yuhao raise his eyebrow proudly at him, Xiao Hongchen could only turn his head away, unwilling to look at these two lovebirds.
However, when he thought carefully about it, he realized that Huo Yuhao was indeed the most suitable partner for his little sister.
In this world, perhaps no one could match her better.
Thinking this way, Xiao Hongchen's heart finally felt a bit more at ease.
At that moment, from a distance, the Auspicious Beast came trotting toward them. She had a lollipop in her mouth and a candied hawthorn stick in her hand, looking exactly like a little child.
"Little Rui, come, come! Let me introduce you to your Uncle Xiao!"
The Auspicious Beast ran over with small steps, her face innocent and pure as she greeted Xiao Hongchen.
"Hello, Uncle!"
Then, naturally, she moved to Huo Yuhao's side and, with her free hand, grabbed onto Huo Yuhao's right hand.
Xiao Hongchen froze on the spot.
Uncle?
Uncle!?
His little sister... already had a child?
