âYu-Yuhao⦠youâre finally awake.â Wang Dongâer couldnât hide her agitation anymore. Even though had she told herself countless times not to cry when Yuhao woke up, she still couldnât control herself now that he was actually awake!
She leapt onto Huo Yuhao and started wailing. She was worried and heartbroken at the same time. At this moment, her tears flowed uncontrollably.
Huo Yuhao opened his eyes once again. He was still very, very tired. His injuries were too serious. Even though his external wounds had recovered, the conflicting origin energy and soul power in his body, as well as the Blazing Sunspring water, greatly influenced his condition.
Wang Dongâer cried for fifteen minutes, and her tears drenched the front of Huo Yuhaoâs shirt. She only stopped after that.
When she lifted her head to look at Huo Yuhao again, she discovered that he had already shut his eyes, and she panicked. She quickly wiped her tears away and called, âYuhao, Yuhao, are you okay?â
Huo Yuhao struggled to open his eyes and forced a slight smile for her. âIâm fine. You must stay true to your words!â After a few minutes of rest, he felt slightly better.
Wang Dongâer was stunned for a moment. âWhat do you mean?â
Huo Yuhao smiled and said, âYou said that you were willing to do anything as long as I woke up. You even promised to sleep with me. Itâll be like that forever. You must keep your word.â
Wang Dongâer broke into a laugh and said, âYou are in this state, but you still remember these things.â
Huo Yuhao also laughed. âIt concerns my happiness. Iâm going to sleep a while more.â As he spoke, he shut his eyes again.
Wang Dongâer quickly lay down beside him. She caressed his chest lightly, and used her light-type soul power to absorb the tears from his shirt.
When Huo Yuhao opened his eyes again, it was already the next morning. He was also much better now. Wang Dongâer was waiting on him as usual. When she washed his body, she started to feel embarrassed again.
After all, it was a different matter when he was awake!
She lowered her head and didnât dare to look at him. She rubbed his body gently.
âIs the temperature fine?â Wang Dongâer asked.
Huo Yuhao smiled and said, âItâs good.â
âOkay.â
âDongâer.â
âYes?â
âDo you like my butt so much? Youâve cleaned it six times.â
âWhat?â
Wang Dongâerâs face turned red, and she quickly put the towel away before covering him with the blanket.
âDongâer.â Seeing Wang Dongâerâs embarrassed look, Huo Yuhao couldnât help but call her.
âYes?â Wang Dongâer lowered her head, and her face turned even redder.
Huo Yuhao said, âI want to take my medicine. Iâm a little hungry.â
âOkay.â Wang Dongâer rushed to get the medicine bottle. She placed a pill into her mouth. However, she saw Huo Yuhaoâs burning eyes when she lifted her head to look at him.
Huo Yuhao was smiling as he looked at her. His eyes were filled with a comforted look.
When he saw that Wang Dongâer was like a young lady cleaning up the room and waiting on him, he was touched. This was the perfect life in his heart! A family and a wife that loved him. He might even have a few children in the future.
As for his wife, one was enough. He couldnât be like the White Tiger Duke. If not for the White Tiger Duke, his mother wouldnât have suffered.
âIf you still donât feed me, youâll swallow everything.â Huo Yuhao was amused as he looked at Wang Dongâer.
Wang Dongâer shut her eyes, and her face turned red. She moved her lips towards Huo Yuhaoâs mouth and transferred the medicinal fluid. However, the tip of her tongue was sensitive. When she touched Huo Yuhaoâs tongue, she was evidently trying to avoid it.
Huo Yuhao sucked with his mouth, and his tongue wrapped around Wang Dongâerâs. Wang Dongâerâs eyes widened.
âHoo hoo!â
Huo Yuhao didnât stop sucking. He was sucking gently.
Wang Dongâer rushed to shut her eyes again. She didnât dare to struggle, as she was afraid of hurting him.
They only stopped kissing after their breathing got a little fast.
When Wang Dongâer sat straight, her nose was already panting. She looked at Huo Yuhao shyly. âYou are so naughty. Your tongue can move. This means you can swallow your medicine on your own. You can consume it yourself next time.â
Huo Yuhao chortled, âThatâs not right. You agreed to feed me like this. You canât go back on your word.â
Wang Dongâer snorted, âIâll help you clean your body.â
After helping Huo Yuhao change his clothes, Wang Dongâer helped to massage his muscles.
As she rubbed his muscles, Wang Dongâer asked, âYuhao, where did you find out about my internal injury?â
Huo Yuhao was a little annoyed. âQiuâer is such a blabbermouth! She shouldnât have told you. Dongâer, Iâll follow you back to the Clear Sky Sect when my injury heals. I donât know if the Yearning Heartbroken Grass can work on your injury. Itâs better to let Uncle Niu Tian and Tai Tan look after it.â
Wang Dongâer was doubtful as she looked at Huo Yuhao, âWhatâs going on? Who told you about my internal injury?â
Huo Yuhao shook his head and smiled. âDonât ask me. Iâve already plucked the Yearning Heartbroken Grass. Isnât everything fine now?â
âFine?â Wang Dongâer was confused. Her tears were about to flow again as she looked at Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao panicked. âDongâer, donât cry. Donât worry, Iâll get well. I must get well for you! In fact, I wasnât seriously injured this time, rightâ¦â His mind wasnât very clear, as he just woken up. He had to watch his words even if he wanted to weave a lie.
Wang Dongâer bit her lower lip. âStop talking. I know everything. Wang Qiuâer told me everything. In fact, I know even if you donât tell me. Was it the pouch?â
Huo Yuhao didnât make a sound.
Wang Dongâerâs lips twisted slightly, and she clenched her fist. âEldest uncle! Second uncle! The two of youâ¦â
Huo Yuhao felt something wrong with the atmosphere, and hurriedly said, âDongâer, donât be mistaken! The two of them are doing this for your own good. Not anyone can pluck the Yearning Heartbroken Grass. Only I can do so. Itâs only right that I went! Itâs fine as long as you are okay.â
âAlright.â Wang Dongâer relaxed and didnât say anything else. She smiled and said, âThey are my uncles. Why would I blame them? Alright, you should talk less since you just woke up. Go ahead and rest. I still havenât informed everyone that youâre awake.â
Huo Yuhao said, âOh. Then you should go and tell eldest senior. They are busy with their cultivation, so donât ask them to come over. I canât do anything anyway since I just woke up. Let me recover first.â
âAlright. Thatâs also my intention. Itâs better not to let anyone disturb you. Lie down first. Iâll go and wash your clothes.â
âOkay. Itâs been tough on you, Dongâer.â
Wang Dongâer shook her head, âItâs what I should be doing. Shut your eyes and rest.â
As she spoke, she took the basin filled with Huo Yuhaoâs dirty clothes and went to the bathroom.
She closed the bathroom door and couldnât control her emotions anymore. She clenched her fists tightly, and her face turned red from her anger and pain.
âEldest uncle, second uncle, why did the two of you do such a thing to Yuhao!? Wasnât the test at Clear Sky Peak enough?â
Wang Dongâer was intelligent. Even though Huo Yuhao didnât say anything, she could guess that it was because of the pouch. Even if Huo Yuhao had needed to pluck the Yearning Heartbroken Grass, her uncles should have followed him, given their cultivations. After hearing Wang Qiuâerâs recounting of events, she knew that the Setting Sun Forest was very dangerous. Before even seeing the Yearning Heartbroken Grass, Huo Yuhao had already met with danger several times!
Huo Yuhao wasnât stupid. Wang Dongâer knew that he would have known that it was a test. However, this test had been too difficult. What would she have done if Huo Yuhao didnât make it out alive?
She took a deep breath and looked at herself in the mirror. She muttered to herself, âFrom today onward, Iâm no longer the young mistress of the Clear Sky Sect. Iâm Huo Yuhaoâs wife. Iâll repay Huo Yuhao for everything that heâs done for me with my life.â
After she finished speaking, her facial expression started to calm down. However, she still looked a little cold, âEldest uncle, second uncle, Iâll deal with the two of you when I return.â

Two manly guys who were drinking shuddered at the same moment. They even almost spilled their wineâ¦

Huo Yuhao was feeling very calm now. Although his body was very weak, he was very happy now. He was also feeling very calm.
He was very satisfied to be alive and able to see Wang Dongâer again. He was also satisfied to pass her the Yearning Heartbroken Grass. At least he was still alive!
I will get well. Huo Yuhao shut his eyes, and a figure slowly appeared in his mind. It was someone who cut a sad figure.
Qiuâer! How did she save me? I clearly felt that I was going to die then.
His doubts and the ravishing figure caused him to open his eyes. He sighed. Huo Yuhao knew that he owed Wang Qiuâer another favor. Without her, he couldnât have survived. Itâs just that he didnât know what method she had used to save him.
She saved his life, and it wasnât the first time! Qiuâer, how am I supposed to return this favor?
Huo Yuhao took in a deep breath and felt an intense pain coming from his chest. To prevent Wang Dongâer from worrying, he stopped himself from shouting.
He relaxed his body, and his pain slowly lessened. Huo Yuhao focused and inspected his own body.
When he did, he was stunned. He couldnât help but laugh bitterly. Is this really my body?
His body wasnât even in a bad condition. It was messy.
His passageways were messed up. They were like wool that had formed knots again after being unfurled. The tips couldnât be found at all.
He didnât use his soul power to resist the Blazing Sunspring water. His throat, windpipe and even internal organs were scorched. With the help of a weird force, his burnt organs had recovered. However, the recovery process became very messy because he didnât guide it. His organs were stuck together, and his passageways were jumbled up. Different energies were also present in these passageways. There was the heat from the Blazing Sunspring water, his own soul power and the origin energy that the Snow Empress had brought in. It was messy!
On the surface, he seemed fine. However, he had only staved off death. The mystical force had protected his important organs so that the various energies within him wouldnât conflict. Otherwise, he would have died many times over.
This was terrible. Even though Huo Yuhaoâs state of mind was still stable, he could only laugh bitterly to himself now.
It was precisely because his condition was so messy that Elder Zhuang didnât dare to treat him. With his current condition, the various forms of energies, the mystical force protecting him and the life aura brought about his Lifeâs Gold achieved a delicate balance. This ensured his survival. If he tried to do anything, he might endanger himself. Treatment might instead put his life at risk.
Elder Zhuang had already communicated with Elder Xuan in secret. Unless a miracle happened, Huo Yuhao would be disabled. Even if he could survive, it would be difficult for him to stand up again. As long as this delicate balance was maintained, his life would only end when the mystical force disappeared.
Only Elder Zhuang and Elder Xuan knew about this. Elder Xuan couldnât bear to tell the rest of Shrekâs Seven Monsters. Moreover, Elder Xuan didnât believe Huo Yuhao would collapse just like this. Huo Yuhao was always one to create miracles!
What should he do? After laughing bitterly to himself, Huo Yuhao thought of something. Just like Elder Xuan believed, he wasnât one to bow down to fate.
Huo Yuhao could also sense the balance in his body. In fact, he was even clearer than Elder Zhuang about his own bodyâs condition. He had the Ice Empress, the Snow Empress and the Skydream Icewormâs strength inside his body, and the origin energy of Ultimate Ice compressed into his soul bones. There was also the portion of energy sucked away by the Snow Lady. He would be doomed if everything blew apart.
After pondering for a moment, Huo Yuhao straightened out his thoughts. First, he told himself not to panic. He couldnât rush to succeed.
