Chapter 203 Tang San Breaks Through! The Plan to Tame Huo Yuhao Fails!
The life force of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes intertwined with Bai Xuanzi's divine kingly pressure in the air, while the plucked Acacia Heartbreak Red flower emitted a soft halo.
Bai Xuanzi's question was not only to inquire about Wang Dong'er's insights, but also to drive a nail into the heart of the chosen one's partner, a nail driven into the heart of resistance against divine manipulation.
Meanwhile, in the underworld, the Soul Masters who witnessed Bai Xuanzi's actions through the celestial canopy were once again engulfed in intense discussion.
Why would Bai Xuanzi ask such a question at this time?
A young Soul Master from the underworld scratched his head, somewhat puzzled.
"We've obtained the miraculous herb and cured the illness, so why don't we just leave?"
"You're still too young."
A seasoned old Soul Master next to him shook his head, his eyes revealing a shrewdness that seemed to see through the whole situation.
"Bai Xuanzi is eliminating the root of the problem. You heard Bai Tangsan's confession in the God Realm just now. He wants to train Huo Yuhao's servility and harvest his fortune."
"And Wang Dong'er, as Tang San's bloodline connection in the lower realm, is his most useful tool."
"If Wang Dong'er doesn't fully awaken, these so-called 'trials' and 'tests' will continue to come. Bai Xuanzi is trying to cut off Tang San's means of harming Bai Yuhao from the very source of his thoughts."
This explanation quickly spread throughout the underworld, sparking much discussion among the Soul Masters.
Those in the know understand that Bai Xuanzi's actions were intended to clear obstacles for Bai Yuhao's future.
If Wang Dong'er continues to blindly trust the so-called "sixth sense" and "ancestors of the sect," Bai Yuhao will sooner or later be completely destroyed by this conspiracy disguised as love and trials.
[In the scene depicting the sky.]
Wang Dong'er stood before Bai Xuanzi, looking down at the Acacia Heartbreak Red in her hand, then turning to look at Bai Huoyuhao, who was gazing at her gently.
Although she hasn't yet discovered Bai Tangsan's true nature, Wang Dong'er has indeed gained many insights from this trip to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
"Insight...?" Wang Dong'er murmured to herself, her eyes gradually clearing from confusion, finally settling into an unprecedented firmness.
She took a deep breath and bowed deeply to Bai Xuanzi. Her voice, though not loud, carried clearly throughout the valley: "Elder Xuan, I understand. Through this trip to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, I not only saw Yuhao's feelings for me, but also realized my past ignorance and foolishness."
Wang Dong'er raised her head, gripped Huo Yuhao's hand tightly, and said in an extremely resolute tone, "I used to trust those so-called 'arrangements by elders' and 'blood intuition' too much. I almost caused Yuhao to lose his mind because of these illusory things."
"From this day forward, I, Wang Dong'er, will have my own opinions. No matter what my family or the ancestors of my sect say, no matter what kind of 'test' they give me, I will never do anything to test Yuhao's mind again."
"I believe in him more than anything."
Bai Huoyuhao gripped Wang Dong'er's hand tightly, their eyes meeting in the air—a resonance of humanity, completely free from the shadow of divine authority.
Bai Xuanzi watched this scene with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.
Wang Dong'er's statement means that Tang San's most important pawn in the lower realm has voluntarily jumped off the chessboard.
In the underworld, this scene triggered equally huge chain reactions.
"That's the right thing to do. For Huo Yuhao in the White World, this is absolutely a great thing. As long as Wang Dong'er doesn't cooperate, Tang San's dark storyline won't be able to continue." The Soul Masters in the Black World were extremely satisfied with this.
Meanwhile, within Shrek Academy in the dark world, Black King Dong'er gazed at her own heroic and self-aware reflection in the sky, a fire igniting within her. She turned to Black Huo Yuhao, who sat in a wheelchair, and made a weighty promise.
"Yuhao, I may have woken up to the truth a little late in my daydreams, but I understand it completely now."
Black King Dong'er's eyes were filled with regret and determination.
"I trust you completely. From now on, no matter what instructions the sect gives me, no matter what divine revelation the ancestors send down, I will never allow such torment to happen to you again."
"If you want to go through the trials, I'll go with you instead of sitting on top of you watching you suffer. I will never let you be anyone's puppet again."
As Huo Yuhao felt the warmth of Wang Dong'er's palm, the bone-chilling cold he had felt from watching the sky finally dissipated somewhat.
Although it happened in the open, it did have a very positive impact on him...
In the realm of gods within the dark world.
Tang San sat on the throne in the Sea God Temple, his face extremely pale.
He stared intently at the sky, his originally blue and gold divine attire now appearing exceptionally cold and sinister.
"It's all this damned sky curtain..." Tang San's fingers left deep dents on the armrest of the throne.
His current situation is extremely awkward.
Not only did his persona in the God Realm crack due to Bai Tangsan's confession, but his plans in the lower realm also collapsed.
Wang Dong'er's oath effectively severed his control over Huo Yuhao.
His original plan was to leave an indelible mark of awe in Huo Yuhao's soul through continuous "extreme tests," thereby taming him into a tool for harvesting the fortune of different planes.
But now, with Wang Dong'er's defection, this method of taming a frog slowly has completely failed.
No matter how many plans he made, it was useless to subdue Huo Yuhao, because there was always a damned Sky Screen exposing him here.
Under these circumstances, even if Wang Dong'er hadn't already defected, Tang San would still be helpless in this matter.
And at this moment.
[In the scene depicted on the celestial backdrop.]
Looking at the gradually calming Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, Bai Huoyuhao respectfully asked Bai Xuanzi, "Teacher, now that everything is done, when shall we return to the academy? I want Dong'er to fully absorb the immortal herb as soon as possible."
Wang Dong'er also looked at Elder Xuan with curiosity. She felt that although the spiritual energy here was abundant, the cold and calculating aura had not yet dissipated, and she did not want to stay a moment longer.
Bai Xuanzi stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky, which had regained its seven-colored clouds, a mysterious smile playing on his lips.
"Leave? Of course I'll leave. But before I go, there's one last important thing I haven't done."
Bai Xuanzi's voice echoed through the Grand Canyon, causing Youyou and the other immortal herbs, who had already prepared to take their positions, to tense up again.
