Chapter 344 Be a good child, and you'll be loved; only the crying child gets candy.
Wu Siduo's already flushed face turned even redder, as if it had been burned.
She could only lower her head and respond in a barely audible voice.
"Siduo understands. But just like Yun'er always said, there must be punishment for doing wrong."
If Sido does things well and behaves obediently, will she also receive a small reward?
Looking into Wu Siduo's heterochromatic eyes, which held a mixture of caution and hope, Huo Yuhao rubbed Dai Yun'er's smooth cheeks a few more times before reluctantly letting go.
He then nodded slightly, as if in agreement.
"However, before thinking about all that future stuff, the most important thing right now is to get yourself in order."
Huo Yuhao glanced meaningfully at Wu Siduo's obviously unnatural posture.
"If you don't have any extra clothes in your storage soul tool, Yun'er can go to the girls' dormitory now and get you a set. Once everything is sorted out, we'll address your martial soul issue."
Wu Siduo's ears, which had just cooled down a bit, started to burn again. She lowered her head slightly and obediently responded.
"Um."
As for Dai Yun'er, who had finally regained her freedom from the clutches of evil, she was grimacing and rubbing her cheeks.
Seeing that the important matter seemed to have been settled, her azure eyes lit up, and she decisively reached out and pushed Huo Yuhao towards the bathroom exit, her face once again displaying that mischievous smile that seemed to thrive on chaos:
"Alright, alright, since we can talk about those heavy topics later, this is our girls' time now."
At this point, she suddenly leaned close to Huo Yuhao's ear, lowered her voice, and spoke in an unusually ambiguous tone:
"Of course, if you really want to stay and observe and provide guidance, Yuhao, I have no objection."
"By the way, I'll let you in on a little secret: the style of underwear Yun'er is wearing today was specially chosen for you, Yuhao—it's the really daring kind! Want to see?"
Huo Yuhao's lips twitched involuntarily. Without saying a word, he turned around and strode towards the living room.
But after walking only a few steps, he seemed worried again and spoke up to give some instructions:
"Siduo, remember this: never let Yun'er lead you astray. As for those strange and fallacious arguments she just fed you, just listen to them and don't take them to heart."
Being an obedient and sensible child will make you more likable.
Only after the white-haired boy's figure completely disappeared around the corner, and after confirming that he could no longer hear any noise from this side.
Dai Yun'er's frivolous smile vanished slightly, but she quickly replaced it with an even more mischievous expression.
She grabbed Wu Siduo's hand, scurried back into the bathroom, closed the door behind her, crossed her arms, and let out a soft moan:
"Hmph, I'm telling you, Wu Siduo, I just did you such a big favor, shouldn't you show me some appreciation?"
After finally calming down her turbulent emotions, Wu Siduo looked unusually serious: "Yun'er, I am really grateful to you for reminding me about what just happened."
I've made up my mind. Even if we're condemned by everyone in the future, I will never back down. I will stand firmly by Yuhao's and your side.
"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey! Shut up!"
Dai Yun'er waved her hands repeatedly as if she had heard something unlucky, looking at Wu Siduo with a look of disgust at her serious expression, as if she were ready to be executed at any moment.
"What are you saying? That's so unlucky, and you're being condemned by everyone. I'm the legitimate princess of the Star Luo Empire! Who has the audacity to gossip about me and Yuhao behind our backs? Are they tired of living?"
Then, with a look of disappointment and frustration, he said:
"I'm not here to hear those polite words. I want to ask you, you're not really planning to listen to that blockhead and become a good kid from now on, are you?"
He leaned closer and spoke earnestly and patiently:
"Let me remind you, these days, only the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Look at that girl named Di Rachel, and look at that charismatic Gu Yuena, their kids are all grown up already."
We started way too late, by more than a thousand years. If we don't take the initiative now, we might not even get a taste of the good stuff!
As if she understood the hidden meaning in Dai Yun'er's words, Wu Siduo showed a little surprise.
"Wait a minute, were you serious about drugging me earlier?"
According to what you said before, Yuhao was able to beat down even the Guardian Douluo of your Star Luo Empire.
"For someone of this caliber, what medicine in this world could possibly work on him?"
"Hehe, you don't need to worry about that. Ordinary medicine might not work, but that doesn't mean some special methods won't."
Dai Yun'er smiled mysteriously and lowered her voice, saying, "We can just ask Vice Dean Nanali about this later. I'll let you in on a little secret: Vice Dean Nanali's true identity is actually..."
Now that Wu Siduo is considered a comrade-in-arms in the same trench, Dai Yun'er has no intention of hiding anything anymore.
After explaining the vice dean's true identity in a few words, she nodded firmly:
"...So, we'll definitely find a solution by talking to her. Those evil spirit masters have plenty of unorthodox methods."
As for what comes next, let's proceed according to plan, divide the tasks, and make sure Yuhao doesn't escape our grasp easily. Understand?
Looking at Dai Yun'er, who was talking about her plan while reaching out and making two grasping motions in the air as if to show that she wanted "all of them".
After pondering in silence for a moment, Wu Siduo finally nodded thoughtfully in agreement.
A few minutes later.
Huo Yuhao, who had also changed into a smart black outfit, was sitting on the sofa in the living room with his eyes closed, resting.
Suddenly, a series of deliberately light but slightly hurried footsteps came from behind.
Before he could react, a pair of delicate hands reached out from behind and covered his eyes.
A slightly cold, high-pitched voice rang in my ear: "My dear Yuhao, guess whether I'm the adorable Yun'er or your good girl Siduo right now? There's a special reward if you guess right~"
"Yun'er, you're not a child anymore, why are you still playing such childish games?"
Huo Yuhao didn't even pull down the small hand that was blocking his view; he just sighed helplessly and spoke directly.
"There's still a little free time before evening classes start, so I'll take this opportunity to resolve the issue with Siduo's martial soul to avoid leaving any hidden dangers."
Dai Yun'er pouted in dissatisfaction and released her hand from her eyes.
The little head peeked over, resting its chin on Huo Yuhao's shoulder, gently rubbing against his neck like a clingy kitten, and said with a hint of petulance:
"How did you guess so quickly? Tell me, did you secretly use mental detection?"
"When I came over just now, I deliberately imitated Sido's light footsteps, how could you possibly tell?"
Huo Yuhao pursed his lips helplessly, then patted Dai Yun'er's head, who was still clinging to his shoulder, and said irritably:
"Do you really think that someone as aloof as Siduo would be as bored as you, playing such a childish guessing game? Just use your brain and you'll know it's you."
Of course, there is an even deeper reason, which is one that absolutely cannot be spoken of.
If Wu Siduo had really done that prank, he would have felt more than just the warmth of two little hands.
The difference in touch the moment they were pressed together, and the weight that far exceeded that of girls their age, was enough for him to tell them apart.
However, if this were said to Dai Yun'er's face, this easily angered little cat would probably bite her on the spot to maintain her dignity.
Having finally finished tidying up, Wu Siduo overheard the conversation between the two and couldn't help but show a hint of doubt on her face. She asked softly:
"So, is there really something seriously wrong with my martial spirit? But apart from that accident just now, I feel like I'm still in great shape."
As she spoke, her face flushed slightly again.
It seemed as if I was reliving that light, floating feeling from just now, as if my feet were off the ground and I was being carried on a cloud.
The slender figure hidden beneath the long black dress And then, her body began to tremble and weaken slightly without her noticing.
Huo Yuhao thought for a moment before replying, "The issue isn't about good or bad, but about that delicate balance."
Rather, it's more accurate to say that Siduo's possession of a self-fusion martial soul skill inherently implies a very high degree of compatibility between her Netherworld Cat and White Tiger martial souls.
You all probably know about another type of twin martial soul, called the symbiotic type, right? Xie Xie in our class has this type of martial soul.
After reaching a cultivation bottleneck, he must simultaneously add spirit rings to both of his martial souls in order to break through the bottleneck and continue to improve his cultivation.
At this point, Huo Yuhao calmly pressed down on Dai Yun'er's restless little hand that was trying to sneak into his collar.
He then gestured for Wu Siduo to find a seat next to him before slowly beginning to explain:
"As for Yun'er and Yuan En, who are typical twin martial souls, the attributes, characteristics and even forms of the two martial souls are completely opposite and do not interfere with each other."
Although spirits exist nowadays, theoretically, as long as a spirit master's spiritual power is strong enough, they can form a spirit contract with their second spirit in advance.
However, one can still choose to follow the traditional methods, waiting until their cultivation is advanced before considering the soul ring for their second martial soul. Siduo, you originally followed that path too.
Huo Yuhao paused, looking directly into Wu Siduo's heterochromatic eyes, his tone becoming more serious.
Huo Yuhao paused, looking directly into Wu Siduo's heterochromatic eyes, his tone becoming more serious.
"But your situation is a bit special. The connection between your two martial souls is too close."
Or rather, in my view, only when you simultaneously activate and enter that state of possession by the Netherworld White Tiger will the true nature of the power within you be revealed.
Upon hearing this, Wu Siduo frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
"But even if I try my best to control it, I have no way to keep my martial spirit in that ambiguous state just now."
"As long as I try to mobilize the power of two martial souls at the same time, the two soul energies will instantly attract each other like magnets, directly forcing me into the release phase of the Netherworld White Tiger's martial soul fusion skill, and I simply can't stop."
Wu Siduo knew perfectly well what was going on.
Just now, if Huo Yuhao hadn't used his vast spiritual power to suppress the changes in her soul power and guide that delicate balance, she would have been saved.
How could she possibly maintain the possession of her martial soul while also causing such strange new changes in her body?
At that moment, all her attention was focused on the person who was so close to her, and she was busy suppressing the restlessness in her blood.
He didn't have time to form a deep impression of the mysterious changes his martial soul displayed in that instant.
Huo Yuhao noticed her confusion and slowly shared his thoughts:
"Therefore, the most urgent task is to add a fourth soul ring to your White Tiger Martial Soul to break the current imbalance and achieve a certain degree of balance in the number of soul rings between your two Martial Souls."
Next, I will personally perform a special soul contract ritual for you, one that I have modified. With the active cooperation of the soul beast, and with me taking full responsibility for suppressing any excess energy surges, you will be able to achieve your goals.
"With your current fairly good mental strength, successfully signing a contract with a suitable soul spirit with my assistance shouldn't be too much of a problem."
"A soul beast? A special soul contract?"
Almost simultaneously, countless big question marks popped into the minds of Wu Siduo and Dai Yun'er.
Without intending to waste time explaining in detail, Huo Yuhao simply said in a deep voice:
"Now you just need to relax and not resist my mental pull. I will take you directly to another small world."
As he spoke, a low, obscure incantation rang out from Huo Yuhao's mouth.
The next instant, a gray-gold six-pointed star magic circle appeared out of thin air beneath the three of them and began to flash continuously.
The three figures vanished from the room in an instant.
Within the undead demiplane.
Dai Yun'er looked up at the light and shadow of the ancient tree of life that almost blocked out the sky, her mouth slightly agape in surprise, unable to close it for a long time.
Especially when she was bathed in the vibrant life force emanating from the emerald green lake in front of her, the wondrous feeling that her soul power would slowly increase with just one breath was truly awe-inspiring.
"Yuhao, what kind of fairyland is this? It's too exaggerated!"
Dai Yun'er couldn't help but reach out and poke Huo Yuhao, her eyes gleaming with curiosity: "Or did you really secretly take over the God Realm and turn it into your own backyard?"
"The matter is a bit complicated to explain, and it can't be explained in a short time."
Huo Yuhao simply replied:
"Just remember, no matter what you see from now on, don't run around. Stay obediently by my side. As for the matter of Siduo's soul, someone will take care of it for us."
As he spoke, an indescribable dragon's might suddenly burst forth from Huo Yuhao, rapidly spreading outwards.
