Chapter 283 Huo Yuhao
One month later, in the far north.
The desolate far north has long been known as a forbidden zone for humans.
This land, covered in ice and snow, seems like the end of the world, utterly desolate. Thick snow blankets the land year-round, and the snowflakes falling from the sky seem endless, sealing away all life.
The wind in the far north is as sharp as a knife; when it blows against your face, you can feel the bone-chilling cold.
Not only is the climate harsh here, but countless high-level soul beasts also live here.
These spirit beasts, some enormous and others incredibly fast, roam freely through the icy wilderness, feeding on each other and maintaining the harsh ecological balance of this land.
Their existence makes it impossible for humans to survive here, let alone explore this unknown territory.
In addition, the far north is plagued by a constant stream of natural disasters.
For example, avalanches, glacial crevasses, and blizzards. These natural disasters, like the scythe of death, mercilessly reap all lives that dare to challenge this land.
During an avalanche, huge chunks of snow pour down from high places, destroying everything in their path.
Glacial crevasses form huge cracks in the ice surface, swallowing up any life that unfortunately falls into them;
The blizzard was like a messenger of doom, sweeping everything away and turning the whole world into chaos.
This is precisely why it has become a pristine land untouched by human activity.
However, at this moment, in the core area of the far north, a human figure was slowly heading towards the innermost region.
His steps were firm, seemingly unafraid of this dangerous place.
Keep in mind that the temperature here has already reached minus 100 degrees Celsius, which is enough to freeze an ordinary human into an icicle.
However, the person in front of him still looked normal, and there was no sign of frostbite at all.
His breath formed white mist in the cold air; his body seemed to have a natural immunity to the cold.
Moreover, if someone were to observe closely, they would notice that this person not only appeared in the heart of the far north, but was also wearing only a thin layer of clothing.
This garment doesn't look special and could never possibly withstand the extreme cold of the far north.
However, the biting wind blew against him, and then, as if it had eyes, it deliberately avoided him—it was simply a spectacle! It was as if nature itself was making way for his arrival; this person was none other than Huo Yuhao.
However, Huo Yuhao appeared unusually dejected at this moment. His eyes were vacant, and he looked exhausted, as if he had lost the motivation and direction in life, and seemed to be questioning the meaning of his existence.
His mental state was completely different from the energetic and passionate man he used to be.
All of this changed on a night a month ago.
Without any prior notice, Huo Yuhao quietly went into seclusion to cultivate, and this seclusion lasted for a full five months.
During those five months, he was completely isolated from the outside world, making no sound and sending no news.
This made Bibi Dong and the others extremely frustrated.
Finally, after Huo Yuhao emerged from seclusion, it happened on the night of the dinner party a month ago.
Bibi Dong, Qiu'er, Rongrong, Zhu Qing, Gu Yuena, Dugu Yan, Hu Liena and others decided to take action.
They decided to make Huo Yuhao pay for his disappearance. So, they took turns getting Huo Yuhao completely drunk.
When Huo Yuhao woke up, he felt dizzy and his memory was hazy. The experience of the past month was like a nightmare.
Huo Yuhao couldn't remember exactly how many times he felt lost and helpless after sobering up.
All he remembered was that when he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Zhu Zhuqing's playful face. In his dazed state, Huo Yuhao saw Zhu Zhuqing lying on top of him, moving around and meowing softly.
Sometimes, Huo Yuhao would find himself tightly wrapped in Hu Liena's tail.
Hu Liena watched with great interest.
Sometimes, just as he regained consciousness and before he could even process his thoughts, this recurring torment left Huo Yuhao feeling utterly exhausted, as if he could never escape this nightmare.
In short, Huo Yuhao's life over the past month can be described as a "hellish experience," with every day and night filled with challenges and torment.
Only after everyone had left satisfied did Huo Yuhao listlessly tidy up the mess on the bed.
Scattered on the sheets were all sorts of items, from pieces of clothing to suspenders and socks, all indicating that a fierce battle had once taken place here.
In addition, Huo Yuhao also had to keep this matter a secret.
It's like a wife who has been bullied by her boss, cleaning up the mess alone before her husband comes home, and then having to force a nonchalant smile when he returns, while only she knows the bitterness in her heart.
Huo Yuhao felt this way at the moment. He had to appear strong in front of the outside world and not let anyone notice his inner vulnerability and exhaustion.
"Yuhao, it's been three days! Why are you still so absent-minded?"
With a helpless expression, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm emerged from Huo Yuhao's sea of consciousness.
It had been observing Huo Yuhao for several days and found that he was still unable to get out of the shadow of that month.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm knew that Huo Yuhao needed time to heal his inner wounds, but it was also worried that this state would last too long and affect Huo Yuhao's daily life and cultivation.
Since experiencing a month in hell, Huo Yuhao has become what he is now.
His eyes had lost their former sparkle, replaced by deep weariness and confusion.
His steps were no longer light, but heavy, as if each step carried a heavy burden.
His smile became forced, no longer as genuine as before.
Huo Yuhao knew he needed to find a way to break free from this state and rediscover his vibrant and hopeful self.
During that long month, even the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm felt an indescribable fear. Although it could not witness the specific events that happened to Huo Yuhao, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm could clearly sense the passage of time.
One month, a full thirty days!
During these thirty days, apart from Qian Renxue, Bai Chenxiang, and Shui Bing'er, who were not in the Spirit Hall, the other women, including Bibi Dong, Gu Yuena, Qiu'er, Hu Liena, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Dugu Yan, took turns to fight one after another.
Although Huo Yuhao possessed a body as powerful as a dragon, the long-term fatigue and torment were too much for even his strong physique to bear.
Huo Yuhao glanced weakly at Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and said in a feeble voice, "Hey, Tianmeng-ge, why are they so shallow? They're always obsessed with physical pleasure. Can't they pursue something more spiritual?"
His eyes revealed a hint of helplessness and exhaustion, as if telling the story of what he had experienced over the past month.
During this time, Huo Yuhao's every breath seemed heavy, and every movement seemed slow.
His eyes no longer held their former sharpness; instead, they were filled with deep weariness and confusion.
He used to be so full of vigor, but now he seems to have lost all his strength, leaving only an empty shell.
I feel completely drained!
The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm revealed a deep sense of sympathy. Its small eyes sparkled with concern for Huo Yuhao, as if it could feel the pain and pressure he had endured over the past month.
Huo Yuhao's experience over the past month can indeed be described as "unbearable".
He suffered immense mental and physical torment. His body was pushed to its limits, and the excessive strain made it almost impossible for him to continue.
If it weren't for the life-giving power constantly provided by Gu Yuena's Life Gold, Huo Yuhao would probably have collapsed from exhaustion long ago.
Huo Yuhao rushed to the far north this time, not only to refine the Heaven-Seizing Yuan Pill, but more importantly, to rest for a few days.
Although he might be bullied by Xue Di, Huo Yuhao could still distinguish between being bullied by one person and being bullied by seven people.
As Huo Yuhao gradually approached the core area of the far north, the Ice Emperor and Little White within his body began to stir.
They both emerged from Huo Yuhao's mental sea, breathing in the fresh air of the far north.
"call..
""
"Finally home! It feels so good to be home!"
Xiao Bai couldn't help but sigh.
Just then, a dazzling icy blue light suddenly pierced the silent air, like a bolt of lightning in winter, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
Immediately afterwards, a woman dressed in a snow-white robe appeared as if she had stepped out of a snowy wonderland and gracefully descended before the crowd.
Her appearance was like an ice lotus blooming in winter, beautiful and mysterious.
Huo Yuhao, Bingdi, Tianmeng Bingcan, and Xiaobai all opened their eyes wide in surprise and disbelief.
Huo Yuhao's heart raced. He could hardly believe his eyes. That familiar figure had undergone astonishing changes in just a few months.
The beauty of the Snow Empress before them seemed to surpass the imagination of mortals. Her already flawless skin appeared even whiter and more translucent under the icy blue light, as if it could reflect all the light around her.
Her figure is as if it has been meticulously sculpted by nature, with every curve perfectly proportioned and flawless.
However, what is most hard to ignore is the increasingly noble and otherworldly aura that Xue Di exudes.
At this moment, she seemed like a deity in a snowy world, exuding an irresistible charm in every gesture.
Huo Yuhao stood there, completely stunned.
His mental state was already somewhat dazed, and facing the incomparably beautiful Snow Empress before him, his thinking seemed to become even more sluggish.
His gaze was fixed on her, as if drawn by an invisible force.
"Yuhao, how come you've become like a goose after only a few days?"
,
Xue Di's voice was like a spring breeze brushing across a glacier, gentle yet with a touch of playfulness.
She smiled gently, a smile as warm and bright as a flower blooming in spring.
Xue Di gracefully approached Huo Yuhao and pulled him into her arms. Huo Yuhao felt the warmth of Xue Di's embrace, and his unease and tension instantly vanished.
He felt an unprecedented sense of security, coupled with the fatigue he had accumulated over the past month, and Huo Yuhao involuntarily closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep in Xue Di's arms. Bing Di, Tian Meng Bing Can, and Xiao Bai shook their heads helplessly at the scene before them.
Yuhao's condition was truly pitiful; his exhausted appearance evoked sympathy.
Fortunately, they finally returned to this far north, allowing him to temporarily put down all his burdens and get some rest.
However, the Snow Empress keenly noticed Huo Yuhao's unusual condition. Her deep eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of worry and displeasure: "Tianmeng, Bing'er, Xiaobai, you three explain to me what happened? Why is Yuhao so weak?"
Faced with Xue Di's questioning, the three soul beasts exchanged glances. They knew they could no longer hide the truth, so they stammered out the whole story.
Upon hearing this, Xue Di's expression turned extremely stern. She couldn't help but angrily rebuke, "Outrageous! This is simply too much!"
It turns out that Huo Yuhao had been tormented by several ill-intentioned individuals over the past few months, who seemed to have no regard for his physical condition or ability to endure it.
Especially the lady herself, she actually joined in the foolishness with a bunch of young girls.
Although Huo Yuhao possesses a powerful body, he is still a being of flesh and blood and has not yet truly transformed into a divine body.
If he continues to recklessly deplete his physical and mental energy, it may eventually cause irreversible damage to his body.
Xue Di looked at Huo Yuhao helplessly again. She knew that this little guy was too indulgent towards others, even at the cost of his own health. However, now that she knew the truth, she could not sit idly by and let those people continue to make trouble.
Fortunately, Xue Di managed to finish her tasks during this period.
She decided that when Huo Yuhao left the far north, she would leave with him.
She wanted to stay by Yuhao's side and protect him!
