Golden hair, golden eyes, an oval face, exquisite features, and without any movement, she exuded an intangible heroic spirit.
“Long time no see!” The person walked forward and took the initiative to greet him.
“Why are you here?”
Huo Yuhao asked with a complicated expression. This golden-haired woman was none other than Wang Qiu'er. Speaking of which, it had been almost a year since the two had separated after the Star Luo Empire Soul Master Competition.
Moreover, after seeing her again, Huo Yuhao noticed that Wang Qiu'er was wearing the uniform of the Body Sect Academy.
“Can't I be here?”
Huo Yuhao was silent. He didn't know how to talk to Wang Qiu'er, or what identity to use to talk to her.
“Qiu'er, aren’t you going to introduce me?” At this moment, a light and melodious voice came.
Hearing the voice, Huo Yuhao noticed that there was another woman beside Wang Qiu'er. The woman had long silver hair that was draped behind her, reaching her waist. Not only was her hair smooth, but it also had a texture like silver crystal. She possessed a beauty that was beyond words, and all descriptions were insufficient to capture her stunning appearance. Her fair skin was slightly pale.
She had long, curled eyelashes, and her purple, crystal-like eyes were clear and transparent. A silver dress tightly wrapped around her graceful figure, making her appear so noble and untainted.
Huo Yuhao's heart skipped a beat, not because he was amazed by the woman's appearance, but because this image reminded him of someone—no, a dragon, the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena.
Huo Yuhao sensed her aura and found that this woman only had the cultivation of a Great Soul Master, but Huo Yuhao was even more suspicious. Some people were like that; no matter how they tried to hide, they couldn't conceal their brilliance.
Huo Yuhao had a strong feeling that this woman shouldn't be as ordinary and unremarkable as she appeared.
Moreover, this woman wasn't wearing a school uniform, which meant she was likely not a student. Mixing with Wang Qiu'er and with such an image, how could Huo Yuhao not overthink?
“Sister Na, you already saw it, why do you still need me to say it? He is Huo Yuhao from the Body Sect.”
The always strong Wang Qiu'er was rarely well-behaved in front of this woman, even with a hint of coquetry.
“You little girl.”
The silver-haired woman smiled and turned her attention to Huo Yuhao, revealing an interested expression. “Hello, let me introduce myself. My name is Gu Yuena, and I am Qiu'er's cousin.”
Huo Yuhao's expression stiffened uncontrollably. It really was Gu Yuena! Shouldn't this guy be recuperating in the Star Dou Great Forest? Why did she run out now?
Huo Yuhao felt that the world was becoming more and more chaotic, and he couldn't understand it anymore.
“Hello, my name is Huo Yuhao. It's a pleasure to meet you.” Huo Yuhao replied, trying to make his tone more calm and normal.
Huo Yuhao's slightly unnatural performance was completely seen by Gu Yuena. She didn't suspect anything. She had seen this kind of reaction too many times in men these days—a bunch of trash who only thought with their lower bodies. But a trace of disgust still flashed in her eyes.
“You guys chat, I have something to do, so I'll leave first.”
Huo Yuhao smiled slightly, and after saying that, he turned around and quickly left with Song Ming.
Wang Qiu'er opened her mouth, but didn't say anything.
Gu Yuena narrowed her eyes, looking at Huo Yuhao's departing back thoughtfully.
“Qiu'er, tell me more about this human's information in detail?” Gu Yuena said.
“Sister Na, are you going to take action?” A hint of panic flashed in Wang Qiu'er's eyes.
Gu Yuena shook her head gently and said, “Not yet. I can't see through that Godly Ranking, but I can tell that it doesn't like our Soul Beast race. It's best to wait until it disappears before taking action. This human has too much potential, and we must eliminate him by then.”
“Sister Na, aren't you exaggerating too much? He's just a Soul King. Even if his strength can barely reach Titled Douluo, he shouldn't be a threat to your plan, right?”
Wang Qiu'er pretended to be relaxed, but she was already cursing in her heart, *You stinky man, why did you have to flaunt in front of Sister Na? Now it's over, I can't save you either.*
“What if he becomes a Super Douluo? You're right, he's not a threat to us for the time being, but his potential is too great. Who knows what level he will grow to in a few decades.
Moreover, he has a very interesting little thing on him, similar to a Soul Core. Even Di Tian is inferior to the power of space within it. Tell me, should I pay attention to such a person?”
Gu Yuena said slowly, actually seeing through Huo Yuhao's secrets.
Wang Qiu'er was silent, a look of worry flashing in her eyes. She knew that Gu Yuena's attention was definitely not a good thing for Huo Yuhao, and might even be a catastrophe.
But it seemed like there was nothing she could do. She didn't dare to plead for mercy, and didn't even dare to expose her special feelings for Huo Yuhao, because doing so would only backfire.
“Song Ming, how long has Wang Qiu'er been at the academy?”
On the other side, Huo Yuhao asked seemingly casually, but he was slightly worried in his heart. Gu Yuena's emergence was not a good sign.
In the original plot, this guy's initial goal was to exterminate the human race. Later, she integrated into human society and was influenced by the people around her and Tang Wulin, and there was also the common enemy of the Abyss Plane at that time.
When the hidden strength of the human side exploded after repelling the Abyss Plane, Gu Yuena fell into a disadvantage, and that's when she made a compromise.
“Reporting to Young Master, Miss Wang Qiu'er was among the first batch of students to enroll.” Song Ming replied.
The first batch, that's almost six months. But before he could think too much, Song Ming continued, “Young Master, do you know Miss Wang Qiu'er's identity?”
Huo Yuhao glanced at him, thinking, *How could I not know? I've read the plot, and you're still acting mysterious with me.*
“Stop talking nonsense, hurry up.”
Song Ming smiled embarrassedly, then said seriously, “No detailed information about Miss Wang Qiu'er has been found, but that girl beside her seems to have some connection with the newly rising Donglin Empire's royal family.”
“What? You said she's connected to the Donglin royal family?” Huo Yuhao's expression suddenly changed drastically, as if struck by lightning.
Song Ming didn't understand why his young master would suddenly have such a big reaction. What was wrong with the Donglin Empire? It was currently the weakest of the five major countries on the continent, and even other countries didn't recognize Donglin's claim to be an empire.
“Young Master, that's the information we have. Is there a problem?” Song Ming scratched his head.
Huo Yuhao's heart was beating violently, and he had a scalp-numbing feeling. Soul beasts had infiltrated the human world and even controlled a country, developing soul tools. What were they trying to do?
Involuntarily, Huo Yuhao thought of the past, when he first met Wang Qiu'er. She was indifferent to everyone, but she insisted on clinging to him, from Shrek Academy to the Soul Master Competition, and now. The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became.
He felt that this might not be a coincidence, but a carefully planned scheme, a huge conspiracy. Once this idea appeared, it couldn't be dispelled and became uncontrollable.
Then, did Wang Qiu'er approach him with some kind of purpose?
Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of reluctance flashing in his eyes, but more of determination. For the sake of his life, it seemed that he had to do something.
