Chapter 81 Huo Yuhao: It's Over
"But can you really guarantee that the trajectory of the Spirit Empire will develop in the direction you want?" Dugu Bo couldn't help but ask, his voice carrying a hint of worry and uncertainty.
"It's simple, I'll just become emperor." Huo Yuhao smiled faintly, then got up and walked towards his room.
Dugu Bo stared blankly at Huo Yuhao's retreating figure, Huo Yuhao's words still echoing in his ears. "If it weren't for me becoming emperor..."
A slight wavering appeared in Dugu Bo's heart. If Huo Yuhao were to truly become the emperor of the Spirit Empire, it seemed... quite a good idea...
Moreover, if Huo Yuhao really unified the continent and became the emperor of the Spirit Empire, and Yan Yan married Huo Yuhao, wouldn't he become...? Dugu Bo's thoughts began to drift away...
After clarifying his thoughts, Dugu Bo's eyes immediately flashed with a sharp light.
He must help Huo Yuhao become the emperor of the Spirit Empire and unify the continent. As for the Heaven Dou Empire, Dugu Bo said he was not familiar with it.
Early the next morning, Huo Yuhao returned to Wuhun City with Gu Yuena and... Dugu Yan beside him.
After making up his mind last night, Dugu Bo decided to take Dugu Yan directly to the Spirit Hall. However, he still had some things to pack, so he decided to send Dugu Yan over first.
After all, Huo Yuhao was surrounded by far too many girls, and Dugu Bo believed that a boy as outstanding as Huo Yuhao would only attract more and more girls in the future. Therefore, he naturally wanted to think ahead for his granddaughter and make sure she stayed close to Huo Yuhao as early as possible—yes, to secure her place in the group.
As for Prince Xuexing, Dugu Bo could only guarantee that he would save his life in the future to repay the life-saving grace from back then. He knew in his heart that his decision might change the fate of many people, but he believed that it was for his own greater benefit and a longer-term future.
"Senior Dugu, we'll take our leave now." Huo Yuhao bowed respectfully to Dugu Bo and then turned around.
Behind him, wings of ice and fire instantly unfolded, radiating a dazzling light.
Huo Yuhao gently waved his hand, wrapping his arms around the waists of Gu Yuena and Dugu Yan respectively.
Then, Huo Yuhao soared into the sky, transforming into a streak of light and disappearing into the horizon.
The scene on the ground changed rapidly. Looking at the mountains and rivers rushing past below, Huo Yuhao's heart was filled with endless emotions.
He had been away from Spirit City for more than half a year. During these six months, Huo Yuhao had been racing against time every day, constantly cultivating, exploring, and facing various challenges. Now, seeing the familiar outline of Spirit City, Huo Yuhao finally felt much more relaxed. It felt so good to be home!
As soon as Huo Yuhao entered the territory of Wuhun City, Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong immediately sensed his presence.
The two arrived at the square outside the Papal Palace and looked up at the sky. With their keen eyesight, they immediately spotted Huo Yuhao, his dazzling ice and fire wings, and the two girls he was holding.
"Teacher, Grandpa Qian, I'm back!" Huo Yuhao's voice was filled with excitement and joy. After landing, he immediately walked towards Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu.
Seeing Huo Yuhao walking towards her, Bibi Dong could no longer hold back and immediately rushed over to hug Huo Yuhao tightly in her arms.
Without hesitation, she grabbed Huo Yuhao's ear with her right hand, her eyes glistening with tears, her voice trembling and choked with sobs: "You brat, you've been gone for half a year, do you know how much I missed you?"
Seeing Bibi Dong crying her heart out, Huo Yuhao felt a pang of heartache and guilt. It was all Tang San's fault! If it weren't for Tang San's threats, he wouldn't have been in such a rush, causing him to be away from home for over half a year and making Bibi Dong so heartbroken. Huo Yuhao silently made a mental note of his grudge against Tang San, deciding to find a chance to properly "repay" him later.
Huo Yuhao gently patted Bibi Dong's back and said in an apologetic tone, "Alright, teacher, I know I was wrong. I promise I won't leave for so long next time."
Bibi Dong glared fiercely at Huo Yuhao with her beautiful eyes: "You want a next time, you little rascal? If you dare to do it again, I'll teach you a lesson."
Bibi Dong gently rubbed Huo Yuhao's cheek with her finger, her voice muffled, carrying a hint of threat and affection: "If there's a next time, I'll tie you up in my room and make sure you can't go anywhere."
Huo Yuhao gently grasped Bibi Dong's small hand, and with his other hand, he gently patted Bibi Dong's back. Feeling the warmth of Huo Yuhao's palm, Bibi Dong's emotions gradually calmed down, her tears stopped, and her breathing became even.
"Teacher, no, I will always stay with you, no matter what happens, I will always be with you."
Qian Daoliu stood there, looking somewhat embarrassed. He cautiously began, "Ahem, well, now that Yuhao is back, let him rest for a while. After all, the child has grown up, and it's too much to cuddle and hug like when he was little..." His voice trailed off, as if he himself felt the reason was a bit far-fetched.
Bibi Dong glared fiercely at Qian Daoliu without any mercy, making no attempt to hide her dissatisfaction: "It's none of your business. My Yuhao is back, and I can do whatever I want. You seem to have a lot to worry about all day long."
Qian Daoliu's expression turned somewhat ugly; he hadn't expected Bibi Dong to contradict him so directly. Seeing this, Huo Yuhao felt a surge of complex emotions. He wanted to say something to ease the tension, but before he could speak, Bibi Dong grabbed his head and pulled him tightly into her arms.
Huo Yuhao felt a little suffocated, but he didn't struggle because he could feel Bibi Dong's body trembling slightly. Seeing Huo Yuhao and Bibi Dong's intimate behavior, Qian Daoliu silently retreated into the Hall of Worship, his back view carrying a hint of loneliness.
Perhaps only Qian Daoliu could understand his current feelings. His heart was filled with contradictions. Although he missed Huo Yuhao very much and felt extremely guilty towards Bibi Dong, seeing Huo Yuhao and Bibi Dong so close together made Qian Daoliu feel very uncomfortable.
It's a tangled mess, impossible to unravel...
Bibi Dong completely ignored Qian Daoliu's departure, pressing Huo Yuhao's head against her chest for a full ten minutes, until Huo Yuhao was almost suffocating, before finally putting him down. Huo Yuhao's cheeks were red from the prolonged pressure.
However, Bibi Dong's cheeks were even rosier at this moment. She didn't expect that in just half a year, this kid had really grown up a lot. Perhaps in a few years, Yuhao's figure would be almost like that of an adult.
As Bibi Dong pondered this, she shifted her gaze to Dugu Yan, a hint of jealousy in her eyes: "Yuhao, who is this little girl? Aren't you going to introduce her to the teacher?"
However, before Huo Yuhao could speak, Dugu Yan stepped forward and said, "Your Holiness, my name is Dugu Yan, and I am the granddaughter of Dugu Bo. I have come here to join the Spirit Hall with Yuhao. In addition to me, my grandfather will also be joining the Spirit Hall."
Dugu Yan met Bibi Dong's gaze without fear. Although the woman in front of her addressed Huo Yuhao as his master and disciple, Dugu Yan was no fool and immediately saw through the subtle feelings between Bibi Dong and Huo Yuhao.
Bibi Dong narrowed her eyes slightly; she could naturally sense the jealousy in the little girl's eyes.
Hehe, it seems that Yuhao is really lucky with women. Every time he comes back, he brings such a big surprise. Last time it was Gu Yuena, and this time it's Dugu Yan. If he goes out a few more times, what will happen?
Sensing the murderous aura permeating the air, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but shrink to the side, trembling. He looked at Gu Yuena for help, but Gu Yuena didn't seem to mind making things worse despite the tense situation.
Before Huo Yuhao could react, Gu Yuena walked over, gently cupped Huo Yuhao's face, and kissed him without hesitation in front of Bibi Dong and Dugu Yan's shocked gazes. You should know that Gu Yuena was extremely domineering. Just now, Bibi Dong had touched Yuhao in front of her, completely disregarding her. Now, she naturally wanted to take revenge.
