In an open space in front of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang symbol, Huo Yuhao was busily flipping a grilled fish, his movements practiced and focused.
Ahead of him, Dugu Bo lay relaxed on a nearby chair, enjoying this rare moment of peace.
His eyes were half-closed, occasionally glancing at Huo Yuhao with a hint of admiration and satisfaction.
Dugu Yan, her cheeks flushed, stood beside Huo Yuhao, her eyes shy, also secretly observing his every move.
Her gaze mirrored Dugu Bo's; the two were indeed grandfather and granddaughter.
At their feet, a makeshift pile of trash already held at least a dozen fish bones, each one thoroughly gnawed clean—enough to make even a dog grumble and walk away.
Just an hour earlier…after Dugu Bo's anger, Huo Yuhao, to protect himself, had been forced to humiliatingly offer to grill fish for Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan.
From that moment on, Huo Yuhao transformed into a relentless fish-grilling machine.
His hands moved with lightning speed, his grilling technique so fluid it was almost dizzying, as if he were wielding a phantom.
He kept grilling, while Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, like gluttons, ate non-stop, leaving Huo Yuhao nearly exhausted.
After another hour of tireless effort, Huo Yuhao finally fed the two gluttons.
Watching Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan recline contentedly in their chairs, Huo Yuhao almost collapsed to the ground.
He inwardly sighed, thinking how utterly unrestrained these two were; he had nearly broken down.
However, despite this, seeing Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan's satisfied expressions brought a sense of satisfaction to Huo Yuhao.
After all, for a chef, diners engrossed in their meals is the greatest recognition of their culinary skills.
"I'm telling you, Yuhao, you're not getting any younger.
In our day, seven-year-olds were almost married.
I'm getting a little anxious that you're still single.
I'll take charge and arrange a marriage for you and Yanyan," Dugu Bo said earnestly, a hint of elder's concern in his eyes.
Hearing Dugu Bo's words, Dugu Yan blushed and lowered her head, feeling both shy and expectant.
Huo Yuhao sneered, "Heh, I think you just want me to cook for you every day."
Huo Yuhao's tone was teasing.
Hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Dugu Bo flew into a rage, "What are you saying?
How can you slander someone's innocence out of thin air?
I, Dugu Bo, have lived an upright life; how could I have such thoughts?"
Huo Yuhao chuckled: I don't believe you for a second.
You old rascal, you're practically plotting against me.
However, Huo Yuhao didn't expose the old man further, saving him face by leaving things unsaid for future encounters.
He then stood up and walked towards the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
Having just enhanced his spiritual power with the Autumn Water Dew, Huo Yuhao now planned to use the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well's Ice and Fire Chain Golden Body to forge an indestructible physique.
Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan immediately followed closely behind, their eyes filled with curiosity.
They were curious about Huo Yuhao's upcoming cultivation, but also worried about his safety.
"Senior, if anything happens later, please take Yan Yan and leave immediately," Huo Yuhao said earnestly to Dugu Bo before entering the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, his eyes revealing a hint of seriousness.
"What, kid, is there still danger?"
Dugu Bo frowned.
Although he had confidence in Huo Yuhao's abilities, he had personally witnessed the power of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and naturally understood the risks involved.
Huo Yuhao nodded slightly, a hint of gravity flickering in his eyes.
He stepped into the mysterious and unpredictable Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire once more.
Compared to his memories from his previous life, this time, deep within the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, Huo Yuhao clearly sensed two powerful divine auras.
These two auras were completely different: one was like a frozen wasteland, piercing and penetrating; the other was like the blazing sun, seemingly capable of burning the entire sky.
Even more astonishing was the presence of a dense aura of dragon king power within these two auras.
Huo Yuhao already had a vague answer in his heart. Within this Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, there must be the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King.
It was the power of these two dragon kings that created this unique environment.
Huo Yuhao couldn't help but wonder, could this be the place where the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings perished?
If so, then were the remains of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings slumbering beneath this land?
Huo Yuhao's original plan was to use the magical spring water of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to forge and strengthen his body, but now, a bolder idea surged in his mind.
Why not try to directly absorb the energy of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings?
If he succeeded, his strength would reach an unprecedented height.
Once this thought took root in Huo Yuhao's mind, it spread like wildfire.
He began to imagine how powerful he would become if he could truly fuse the power of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings.
How resilient his body would become? How his soul would be elevated?
After all, these were two beings close to God-Kings.
Huo Yuhao's thoughts surged like a raging river, unable to stop.
Moreover, Huo Yuhao estimated that the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings might still have soul bones remaining.
Huo Yuhao's breathing gradually became rapid.
However, as Huo Yuhao stood before the unfathomable spring, his heart was filled with turmoil.
With his current strength, obtaining the power of the Ice and Fire Dragon King within was utterly delusional.
Moreover, what worried him even more was that he still carried the aura of the God of Emotions.
If the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings retained their consciousness, they might very well annihilate him without mercy.
Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao involuntarily turned his gaze to the scale of Gu Yuena worn on his chest, a glimmer of hope rising within him.
Perhaps he could seek Gu Yuena's help.
And, to be honest, after not seeing her for several months, Huo Yuhao had indeed missed her.
So, Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and carefully channeled his spiritual energy into the silver scale.
Almost instantly, a spatial vortex suddenly formed in the air, emitting a terrifying energy fluctuation.
Not long after the spatial vortex appeared, a delicate, pinkish-white foot slowly emerged from it, followed by an ivory-white, flawless calf, smooth and delicate thighs, and a slender waist that could be encircled with one hand.
As the towering breasts and alluring face gradually came into view, Huo Yuhao's heart began to race.
The newcomer was none other than the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena.
