Chapter 218 Hyotei: It Was All a White Lie
Hearing Di Ruiqiu's confident words, Wang Dong'er nodded in agreement, and then lectured Xiao Xiao beside her:
"Did you hear that? How could eating late-night snacks make you fat? On the contrary, Xiao Xiao, you should eat more. Look at your skinny frame."
Xiao Xiao's lips twitched slightly. Having eaten too much for dinner, she really couldn't eat much of the upcoming late-night snack, and could only helplessly raise her hands in surrender:
"Okay, okay, Dong'er, you're right. I'll keep a close eye on you later. You can eat a hundred skewers by yourself."
"A hundred skewers? That's nothing."
Wang Dong'er puffed out her budding chest, striking a pose of extreme pride.
"I'm in a really good mood tonight. I could eat a hundred skewers, or even another hundred, without any problem!"
The annoying, strange voice in her head finally disappeared completely, which made her extremely happy.
If the circumstances allowed, she would have immediately grabbed Huo Yuhao and spontaneously started a lively dance to celebrate.
Just as Wang Dong'er was still grinning foolishly, a voice that was clearly suppressing laughter rang out, followed by an extremely rich aroma of barbecue sauce.
"Dong'er, are you sure you can really eat two hundred skewers?"
When Wang Dong'er saw Huo Yuhao, Jiang Nannan, and Wu Feng each pushing a small cart as they walked in, and especially noticed the size of the barbecue skewers on the carts, her smug smile instantly froze.
The reason she dared to make such a boast was that she thought it would be the same as before, a whole string of them would be a single bite.
But the barbecue skewers presented before us today can hardly be called "skewers" anymore.
Each skewer has an enormous piece of meat on it.
Especially the huge grilled fish skewers on the cart that Huo Yuhao was pushing himself, which were probably no different in size from the bathtub in their room.
If I were to actually eat two hundred of those skewers, I'd probably be going to see my great-grandmother right away.
Xiao Xiao suppressed a laugh, reached out and patted Wang Dong'er's shoulder, and spoke slowly in a strange tone.
"Dong'er, it's time to see how you perform from now on. A gentleman's word is his bond."
"Go away, you little brat, you're teasing me again, aren't you? I'm no gentleman!"
As she spoke, Wang Dong'er gave a coquettish cry and stretched out her hands to scratch the ticklish spot on Xiao Xiao's waist.
"Take this!"
Amidst cheerful laughter and cheerful chatter, this unique late-night snack officially began.
The next day.
With the official conclusion of the Soul Fighting Tournament, this magnificent ancient city, which had been bustling with activity for over a month due to the event, has gradually returned to its former tranquility.
The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team hurriedly packed all their belongings and embarked on their journey back to the Sun Moon Empire almost on the same day the finals ended.
At that time, Huo Yuhao was still in a coma due to exhaustion of his mental energy. Poor Miss Meng Hongchen could only leave with the academy with a heart full of regret before she was unable to say a proper goodbye to him.
The details of the final awards ceremony were not made public.
Although the whole process was very private, all the necessary procedures were followed, and Xu Jiawei, as always, delivered a passionate and encouraging speech.
By the time Zhang Lexuan personally selected the three soul bones from the Star Luo Royal Treasury as the prize for the competition champion, it was already noon.
The azure sky was crystal clear, and the bright sunlight streamed down from above, bringing not a scorching heat but rather a perfectly warm and gentle feeling.
At the city gate of Xingluo City, the Shrek Academy students, who had changed into their everyday clothes, were saying goodbye to Huo Yuhao one by one with Xu Jiujiu.
Watching Xian Lin'er activate the large flying soul tool, taking everyone into the air until they became a barely perceptible black dot on the horizon, Huo Yuhao turned to look at the silver-haired girl standing beside him and softly said:
"Actually, I can go by myself."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena also tilted her head to look at him, and a strange light flickered in her eyes, which were like those carved from amethyst.
She blinked, then reached out and took Huo Yuhao's hand without saying a word.
"What, are you worried that if I see her, we'll end up fighting?"
Huo Yuhao opened his mouth, stammered for a long time, but found that he didn't know how to answer this extremely dangerous question.
Seeing his conflicted and torn expression, Gu Yuena smiled faintly.
She naturally understood the age-old principle that kings should not meet.
However, the existence of that Snow Empress was so special that even she had to pay more attention to her.
"Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you."
Gu Yuena squeezed his hand and said, "Besides, I really have something to discuss with her when I go to see her. I know what's more important."
In the sea of spirit, Hyotei and Tenmeng exchanged a glance, both seeing an indescribable strangeness in each other's eyes.
What could Gu Yuena possibly have to discuss with Xue Di?
Suddenly, they both felt a strange chill rise up, as if a great disaster was about to befall them.
……
The far north, the core region.
On the desolate, snow-covered plains, biting winds and snow relentlessly swept over everything around them.
The hazy sky and the boundless snow complemented each other, completely obscuring the already weak sunlight.
The world had turned into a chaotic gray-white expanse, and apart from the howling and rolling snow, no other color could be seen.
At this moment, neither the black-haired boy in thin clothes nor the silver-haired girl in a white dress paid any attention to the howling wind around them, which was enough to freeze metal and stone.
Around their bodies, the space seemed to be isolated by an invisible barrier, and neither ice particles the size of an infant's fist nor gales as sharp as blades could penetrate their bodies in the slightest.
After walking for a long time through the wind and snow, Hyotei in the Sea of Spirit suddenly spoke.
"Stop, stop, that's about enough. Now let me release my aura and call upon the Snow Empress."
Before he finished speaking, a slender, emerald-green figure eagerly separated from Huo Yuhao's body and floated in mid-air in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, Hyotei's scorpion tail was swaying back and forth uneasily, and her golden eyes were full of anxiety.
On the way here, she and Tianmeng discussed things carefully for a long time before they suddenly realized that they were actually the ones in the most dangerous situation right now!
She has lost count of how many times she has secretly eaten.
You know, she was Xue Di's best and closest sister, and she had once had some different thoughts about Xue Di.
But the result?
After going out, not only did his own train derail, but it even derailed onto the tracks of the Snow Emperor's train, and he rode back and forth countless times without getting tired.
To avoid Gu Yuena making false accusations later, Hyotei felt it was essential to take the initiative and salvage his image.
As Hyotei's emerald green scorpion tail swayed gently, a dazzling light shone forth.
The originally gray sky suddenly began to ripple with visible waves.
Before long, the entire sky was dyed the same emerald green, and it continued to stretch rapidly toward the true core of the far north.
Not long after, upon sensing the unique aura released by Hyotei, Yuki-tei's usually cold voice, tinged with urgency, rang in Hyotei's mind.
"Bing'er, is that you? Yuhao is here too? Where are you now? I'll come find you right away."
Although they had only been separated for a little over a year, for Xue Di, every day here felt like an eternity, with no real difference.
After deciding not to use the 100,000-year-old snow lotus to seal her own origin and rebuild her human form, the Snow Empress naturally felt a little envious of the Ice Empress, who was able to leave with Huo Yuhao at an early age.
If Huo Yuhao hadn't been unable to withstand her immense power at the time, she would have already planned to leave with him.
Fortunately, Huo Yuhao is back now.
This also means that the other party is already able to withstand her nearly 700,000 years of cultivation.
Over the course of more than a year, she had gradually handed over all matters concerning the far north to the Titan Snow Demon King.
It's easy to imagine that Xue Di had already made all the preparations and was just waiting to leave the far north with Huo Yuhao.
Sensing the almost overflowing anxiety and anticipation in Xue Di's words, Bing Di's inner unease grew even more intense.
But if she were given a chance to do it all over again, she would do the same thing.
She would even thoroughly kick Huo Yuhao before Gu Yuena arrived.
It's better than letting his precious first time fall into the hands of that evil dragon, Gu Yuena.
After hesitating for a while, Hyotei finally managed to organize his thoughts.
"Snow Empress, don't be anxious. I must tell you something first: the Lord of Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest is also beside Yu Hao right now."
"?"
Far away in the Ice and Snow Palace, the Snow Emperor suddenly had many questions pop into his head.
Lord of Soul Beasts?
Why did she end up with Yuhao?
According to the memories she inherited, shouldn't there have been absolutely no interaction between them?
Suddenly, an extremely ominous premonition quietly emerged in Xue Di's heart.
As if to verify her guess, Bingdi kept it brief and quickly recounted to her everything that had happened around Huo Yuhao in the past year.
They were like beautiful women, always surrounding him and inseparable from him.
Then, we see how Gu Yuena, this evil dragon, ravaged Huo Yuhao.
Hearing about all sorts of outrageous things, even Xue Di's originally cold and beautiful face couldn't help but turn gloomy.
As for Hyotei's act of secretly eating, she cleverly transformed it into a last resort of self-sacrifice.
The situation had become extremely critical.
In order to save Huo Yuhao, who was affected by the Golden Dragon King's divine core, she had no choice but to sacrifice herself to suppress the negative emotions that were rising within Huo Yuhao.
It was truly exceptionally hard work.
Hyotei said that at the time she felt she almost wouldn't see the sun rise the next day.
But for their shared Yuhao, all these sacrifices are worthwhile.
After a long silence, Xue Di's voice revealed no change in emotion.
"Bing'er, I understand. You've really had a tough time lately."
"It's not hard work, it's all what I should do."
Hyotei's usually aloof and beautiful face grew increasingly guilty.
But for the sake of their future happiness, these are nothing more than well-intentioned lies.
I believe that in the future, Xue Di will be able to understand me.
In just a few minutes, the Snow Emperor, the ruler of the far north, swept past amidst the swirling snow and ice.
A stunningly beautiful figure, imbued with the essence of heaven and earth, appeared out of thin air before everyone.
As always, her long, snow-white hair cascaded down to her ankles, and her icy blue eyes shone brightly.
The string of ice crystal necklaces hanging from her snow-white neck still reflected a captivating glimmer of light, even in the dim light of the world.
She has a tall and slender figure with perfect golden proportions and a waist that is so thin it could be encircled by a single hand.
Beneath the white long dress, the exposed lower leg was straight and slender, like the finest mutton fat jade, gleaming with a lustrous sheen.
And those bare toes, every inch of them crystal clear, dazzlingly captivating, like the purest snow lotus, untouched by any dust.
Xue Di's icy blue eyes swept directly over the silver-haired girl who was being intimate with Huo Yuhao.
When Gu Yuena saw Xue Di floating in mid-air, her amethyst-like eyes instantly became deep and profound.
As Xue Di's figure slowly descended, she took a step without the slightest hesitation and directly stepped into the space that Gu Yue Na had specially isolated.
The space, which had been kept out of all the wind and snow from the outside world, was unusually warm.
As the Snow Emperor entered, a chill, completely different from the wind and snow outside, suddenly rose in the space.
In just a few steps, Xue Di stood in front of Huo Yuhao.
Her movements were natural and fluid; with exceptional skill, she reached out and pulled Huo Yuhao from Gu Yuena's side into her arms.
That soft and cool touch instantly enveloped Huo Yuhao, and the unique, pure, and crisp icy scent of the Snow Emperor lingered around his nose.
