She was Huo Lingâer!
Scarlet multicolored light surged, the Fire Mulberry Trees everywhere. The temperature was extremely high, fiery mists pervading the air.
That young lady was extremely plain and simple, rough clothes covering her body, skin snow-white. She had already revealed her real appearance, eyes carrying watery mist, eyelashes long, gently trembling.
Huo Lingâerâs figure was slender, a head taller than normal girls. She had an extremely perfect figure, curves rising and falling, skin sparkling like ivory.
When she recovered her appearance, her entire body possessed spiritual essence. Her heart trembled, walking over one step at a time, looking at the youth before her.
âAre you still well?â Shi Hao asked. He walked over to meet her. Being able to see Huo Lingâer here gave his mind a wave of warmth that slowly spread.
Someone came looking for Huo Lingâer, wishing to treat her with harm, but in the end, she still continued to defend this place, picking mulberry leaves and waiting for his return. This made Shi Haoâs emotions rise and fall. He wanted to say something, opening his mouth, yet not knowing what to talk about.
âIâm fine, just that after leaving the original place, I was scared that you wouldnât find me after returning.â She said quietly.
âItâs too dangerous here. How can you stay here alone? They already burned that thatched cottage and small courtyard down.â Shi Hao walked forward, looking at her.
âThose two small trees are still there, making it through, so not everything was burned away.â Huo Linger laughed, her beautiful eyes watery, but her smile was extremely brilliant.
âDonât continue taking risks like this anymore.â Shi Hao said.
âI was scared that when you returned, you might think that I was no longer in this world, so I stayed here. I wonât stay here anymore.â Huo Lingâer said quietly.
Shi Hao felt moved inside, feeling a wave of warmth. He reached out his hand, helping her wipe away the sweat covering her sparkling white face. This place was extremely hot, yet she picked mulberry leaves the entire day.
The reunion was extremely ordinary without great sadness or great joy, only a type of warmth, as well as a type of true exchange of emotions, both of them worried for each other.
âWhat did you experience in Immortal Ancient? Was it dangerous? I never thought you would come back so quickly.â Huo Lingâer said.
During these past few years, she really was worried, because she understood what kind of place that was, what kind of opponents Shi Hao had to face.
One had to bear in mind that since the past to present, it was unknown just how many heroesâ bones were buried there. Now that this battle had erupted again, kings from past and present clashed, so it would definitely be incredibly miserable.
In her opinion, even though Shi Hao was strong in the lower realm, there was no way he could move unhindered through Immortal Ancient.
âDonâtâ worry, I even came back, meaning that those enemies are all defeated. Thereâs not much danger.â Shi Hao laughed, not talking about topics that were too serious.
âI donât believe it. Immortal Ancient is so large, so many opponents, you definitely went through many hardships. However, no matter what, it is good that you returned alive.â Huo Lingâer said.
She didnât know what Shi Hao experienced, but she could guess that he definitely encountered many powerful opponents. She didnât even think about whether or not he could really obtain the number one under the sky title, always praying during these past few years, hoping for him to return alive.
Today, she finally saw him return safe and sound, able to let all of her worries go.
âGo, Iâll invite you to eat Immortal Ancient specialties. Thereâs many delicacies to enjoy!â Shi Hao laughed, pulling Huo Lingâerâs hand as he walked. He found a peaceful place with a brook, the flowing water releasing pleasant sounds.
Huo Lingâer immediately smiled, as if she returned to the lower realm in the Hundred Shattered Mountains. This fella always dared to eat anything since the past.
âThis is... pure-blooded Green Flood Dragon?â Huo Lingâer was shocked, and then her expression quickly changed, saying, âItâs a heavenly deity?â
She was immediately stupefied, feeling a great pressure that made her heart pound. Even though that Flood Dragon had died, there was still a type of terrifying aura pervading the air.
Heavenly deities were beings high above all others! When normal deities faced them, they would feel an enormous pressure.
âDonât worry, already killed it a long time ago. Let me refine its vicious energy, and then weâll turn it into a delicious dish soon.â Shi Hao said. When he carried the Flood Dragon, it was like cleaning a snake, directly skinning it and cleaning it by the brook.
This scene left Huo Lingâer stupefied. That was a heavenly deity! This fella was preparing it in such a daring manner, going to stew it.
âWhat exactly did you experience in Immortal Ancient?â Huo Lingâer sat by the brook, her voice trembling.
âApart from cultivation, it was just fighting and killing, it really was dry and dull.â Shi Hao explained in a simple manner, not wishing to hide anything.
âDid you kill many opponents? I remember Immortal Palace Inheritor, Ning Chuan, and many exceptional figures all wanted to treat you unfavorably.â Huo Lingâer said.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThose people, some were defeated, some killed, and some eaten by me.â Shi Hao said, his smile extremely brilliant. âI already said that I was unstoppable in Immortal Ancient, ultimately winning, rising up above everyone else. No one was my opponent.â
âYou... are number one under the sky?!â Huo Lingâer was greatly shocked.
Back then, Shi Hao truly was valiant in the lower realm, but after he arrived in the higher realms, everything became different. With so many races and talents, even the most powerful geniuses might be drowned out.
How could she have predicted that he would be so powerful, unexpectedly dominating Immortal Ancient, becoming unmatched in the struggle against the most powerful?!
Shi Hao told her many things in detail, from when he added the three thousand dao flames to his body, to the bloody battles with ancient freaks, and then to the hunt of heavenly deities, his relationship with sect masters, as well as crossing heavenly tribulation and others.
Huo Lingâer was extremely fascinated as she listened, at the edge of her seat, from time to time feeling worry, other times feeling happy, sometimes frowning, emotions rising and falling.
When she finally heard of his success in the Holy Sacrifice Realm, killing heavenly deities, Huo Lingâer was greatly shaken, her beautiful eyes widening, revealing astonishing brilliance.
She was truly moved. How old was Shi Hao? He was just over twenty, yet he already slaughtered the higher realmsâ heavenly deities. What kind of might was this?
Needless to say, he was definitely going to overlook the world under the sky, dominate the three thousand provinces, becoming one of the higher realmsâ most powerful individuals!
However, soon after, she released a light sigh, her eyes growing dim. How could she catch up to Shi Haoâs footsteps?
Even though Huo Lingâer was unordinary, the Vermilion Bird bloodline within her revived, that was still a brilliance from the lower realm that wouldnât illuminate the higher realmsâ three thousand provinces.
Moreover, even if the true Vermilion Bird was reborn, it would likely only be at the same level as this youth right? His natural talents were so extraordinary, definitely comparable to the Heavenly Phoenix, Kun Peng, and othersâ heirs.
Forget about everything else, just her cultivation alone was currently much inferior to Shi Haoâs.
When she thought of the past, and then the distant future, Huo Lingâer already felt a bit emotional. She felt like she was getting further and further away from Shi Hao, the gap in cultivation growing larger and larger, becoming like a heavenly moat.
âYou can even kill Heavenly Deities, meanwhile me...â Huo Lingâer hung her head, her eyes carrying tears, sparkling and flickering. She felt like the day would come when Shi Hao would ascend into the ninth heaven, while she would try to run with everything she had, yet unable to catch up.
What will it be like in the future?
She felt incredibly dejected. She waited so long, now finally seeing Shi Haoâs peaceful return. It was originally supposed to be a happy and joyous event, but after the happiness just now, she now felt so dejected.
âWhat are you thinking about? The two of us both came from the lower realm, weâve already made it this far. Do you think I would care about how your cultivation is?â Shi Hao said, grabbing her delicate hands.
âYou are like a young Kun Peng, sooner or later spreading your wings into the skies into the boundless cosmos, while I am like a delicate and weak Fire Mulberry Flower, unable to leave the surface of the earth.â Huo Lingâer said while shedding tears.
She knew that with Shi Haoâs talents, this type of ferocious advancing speed, how could this world hold him back? He was definitely going to leave into the distance, head into an even larger great world.
âI can bring you with me into the nine heavens!â Shi Hao said, looking into her eyes.
