Chapter 8: The Lan Sisters
"Brother Huo..."
The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm muttered to himself a few times, suddenly feeling somewhat confused.
He was originally the lowest-level ice worm in the Extreme North, living a life where he was either being eaten by natural predators or on the run from being eaten.
As for which predators? All of them were predators!
The ice worm tribe seemed born to be food in the Extreme North; any Soul Beast could take a few bites.
He, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, was one of them, until one day while fleeing from pursuit, he accidentally fell into a Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave and ate ten-thousand-year profound ice marrow until he was stuffed.
He ate until full, slept until rested, and kept eating until he had eight hundred thousand years of cultivation, thinking he could roam the Extreme North invincibly once he emerged.
Who knew that as soon as he surfaced, he was chased by an Ice Jade Empress Scorpion.
That Ice Jade Empress Scorpion was the Ice Empress, though at that time, the Ice Empress only had two hundred thousand years of cultivation.
The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm tragically discovered that he couldn't defeat the Ice Empress at all, though escaping with his life wasn't a problem.
Thus, chased for nearly two hundred thousand years, he found himself seemingly falling for the Ice Empress. After pursuing her madly for tens of thousands of years to no avail, he resolutely embarked on a journey, drifting across the sea to the continent.
From then on, his tragic fate began.
In the Extreme North, he could use Spiritual simulation to mimic the auras of the Ice Empress, even the Snow Empress, scaring off all Soul Beasts.
The loyalty of Soul Beasts in the Extreme North to the two empresses of ice and snow was unmatched by any other Soul Beast gathering place on the continent.
This trick worked every time.
But in other places, those Soul Beasts didn't buy it.
He, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, couldn't even defeat a slightly powerful ten-thousand-year Soul Beast.
Once caught by a hundred-thousand-year Beast King who wanted to slowly eat him, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm hardened his heart and directly released his pure Origin, attracting all the Beast Kings of the Star Dou Great Forest.
From then on, he was imprisoned in the Core Zone of the Star Dou Great Forest, surrounded by a group of Beast Kings absorbing his power.
Every day, they would cut a wound on his body, and his pure Origin power would flow with his blood, licked and devoured by those Beast Kings.
For a full ten thousand years.
During this time, he became a million-year Soul Beast.
But the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm also discovered that he probably couldn't survive the million-year Lightning Tribulation.
After several attempts, he found the method of the Wisdom Soul Ring. By the time he escaped the Core Zone of Star Dou, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's power was mostly drained, leaving only his vast and pure Origin.
Thus, he offered himself to Huo Yuhao.
A promise like Huo Yuhao's brought a feeling he had never experienced before.
From the moment he gained consciousness, the one he saw most was the Ice Empress, always while being chased.
It was the thought of the Ice Empress that allowed the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm to endure those ten thousand years of living death.
Now, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was horrified to discover that he might not love Bingbing as much as he thought!
Ignoring the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm lost in thought, Huo Yuhao entered a state of Cultivation.
If he remembered correctly, Ma Xiaotao, the Evil Fire Phoenix, attacked him and Wang Dong by the Sea God Lake on the second day of school.
Speaking of which, he saw Wang Dong in the morning, running on the field as if his life depended on it.
Hmm, Wang Dong is still in Zhou Yi's class.
As for why he could recognize him.
What a joke, with that handsome androgynous look in male clothing, only a fool wouldn't recognize him.
By the way, which guy is Wang Dong sharing a dorm with?
...Wang Dong was in a bad mood, scolded by the old hag Zhou Yi early in the morning for throwing his roommate out of the dorm yesterday.
Then he had to run ten extra laps.
It wasn't his fault!
Who doesn't love cleanliness? Not only did he not love cleanliness, but he also picked his feet in bed! After picking, he'd even smell it!
Unable to bear it, he threw the guy out.
Enough said, time for class.
What!
More running laps? Is there nothing else besides running laps?
(ー_ー)!!
Huo Yuhao's afternoon was a Soul Master theory class.
"Huo Yuhao, are you also a control system Soul Master?"
In the afternoon, Ning Tian and Wu Feng didn't come to find him. Instead, Huo Yuhao was accompanied by two cute girls with blue long hair.
They were the twin sisters, Lan Luoluo and Lan Susu.
It must be said, Mu Jin guessed correctly. Huo Yuhao inherited his mother Huo Yuner's outstanding looks, and his originally malnourished body became strong after the second mutation of his Spirit Eyes.
Now, Huo Yuhao had rosy lips and white teeth, fair skin, and eyes as dazzling as a starry sea. Soul Masters with weaker Spiritual Power than his could easily become mesmerized.
"Yes, my Martial Soul and Martial Soul Abilities have both control and support effects, so choosing the control system suits me well."
Huo Yuhao's tone was very gentle.
Bearing hatred doesn't mean hanging it on your lips all day. A dog that bites doesn't bark; revenge is about action.
Is complaining all day for others to see? So others can comfort you with kind words?
When allowed, Huo Yuhao would try to express his friendliness.
Make as many friends as possible, and as few enemies as possible.
Of course, if someone comes close asking for a beating, that's another matter—he'd have to break their spine.
"Both Luoluo and I have Martial Soul Abilities with control effects, so we're control system Soul Masters."
Lan Susu said with a giggle.
Unlike Lan Susu, although they were twins with the same Martial Soul, Martial Soul Abilities, looks, and even figures, their personalities differed.
Lan Susu was the younger sister, more lively and talkative.
Lan Luoluo was the older sister, more shy and easily embarrassed, but not the socially anxious type.
"I'll tell you a secret: Luoluo and I have hair as our Martial Soul, our own hair."
As Lan Susu spoke, she sent a strand of blue long hair into Huo Yuhao's hand.
Hmm, indeed soft, smooth, and with a fresh fragrance, but you could feel that this strand of hair was tougher than many ropes.
Those who possess a Body Martial Soul have very distinctive features in their body parts.
For example, Huo Yuhao: his Spirit Eyes are his Martial Soul, giving him extremely sharp vision and incredibly beautiful eyes.
Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo were the same; their hair was beautiful, with few girls able to match them.
"Susu! You, you took my hair!"
"Oh, do twins need to distinguish so clearly?"
Lan Susu picked up Lan Luoluo's hair and stroked it, making Lan Luoluo's pretty face blush.
"The texture is indeed very good, very beautiful. I'll tell you too: my Martial Soul is my eyes."
Huo Yuhao said with a smile.
"Really!"
"I'm not lying."
Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo stared at Huo Yuhao's face from left and right, carefully examining his eyes.
"Susu, Huo Yuhao's eyes are really beautiful."
"Yeah, this is the first time I've seen a Martial Soul of the same type as ours."
A brilliant golden light shone in his eyes, with faint golden Qi flowing out, appearing mysterious and noble.
"Wow!"
(✧∇✧)!
Lan Susu plopped down into her sister's arms.
"Luoluo! So... mmm!"
Lan Susu was about to say something when Lan Luoluo covered her mouth, but her face red to the ears reminded Huo Yuhao of a Steam-Powered Girl.
