Chapter 120 Gu Yuena Lifts a Stone
The next morning.
The morning mist had not yet completely dissipated, and a few playful rays of morning light pierced through the gaps in the curtains, falling on the two people sleeping in each other's arms.
Huo Yuhao's eyelids trembled slightly a few times before he finally opened them slowly.
What came into view was a delicate, flawless face resting peacefully on his chest, rising and falling gently with his breath. Even in her sleep, her rosy lips curved into a satisfied smile.
As his consciousness gradually returned, Huo Yuhao subconsciously looked around first.
Fortunately, thanks to Gu Yuena's deliberate protection last night, apart from a corner of the bed collapsing, the rest of the room did not suffer any major damage.
After letting out a soft sigh, Huo Yuhao frowned slightly and carefully examined his current physical condition.
The effects of the medicinal wine last night, combined with the energy transferred from Gu Yuena, almost burst his body.
At this moment, however, a warm feeling permeated his body, and golden lines crisscrossed and covered his entire body.
The bones became as dazzling and translucent as golden glass.
On his chest, a strange crystal, about the size of a thumbnail and shaped like a rhombus, was slowly floating and rotating.
With each breath, golden ribbons of light circulate and flow within the body, shimmering with a dazzling golden luster.
This is... a soul core?
In his previous life, when he was a Soul Saint, he successfully condensed his spiritual soul core by relying on the power of the Heavenly Dream's origin.
And most of that enormous energy from last night was probably channeled by Gu Yuena to condense this strange soul core.
His own soul power has increased very little; he has only just reached level thirty-six.
The feeling this soul core gave him was completely different from the ultimate ice soul core that had also condensed in his chest in his previous life. It was as if it had become a brand new source of life for him.
With each breath, the immense power of blood and qi drawn from the Golden Dragon King's divine core would continuously flow into this soul core.
As the soul core rotates, it will produce pure golden liquid, which flows slowly through his body along the golden light bands, nourishing his limbs and bones.
Gu Yuena, who had somehow regained consciousness, gently stroked Huo Yuhao's chest, a satisfied smile playing on her lips.
Her somewhat meaningful voice also reached Huo Yuhao's ears.
"Did you feel it? In your human terms, this could be called a dragon pill, dragon crystal, or even a dragon core. Congratulations, you've successfully taken your first step towards the realm of the superhuman."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's expression stiffened.
"So you're saying I can no longer be considered a true human being?"
Even ordinary Soul Masters only enter the realm of the superhuman after successfully condensing a Soul Core at the Title Douluo level.
He was only at the Soul Venerable realm, yet he had already created a nearly perfect dragon core, which made him seem quite different from ordinary humans.
Gu Yuena's fingers continued to gently trace circles on Huo Yuhao's chest as she whispered:
"You can't say that. Your origin is still human, but your current physical strength has far exceeded the limits that humans can reach. Even your so-called Super Douluo probably can't compare to you in terms of pure physical strength."
After saying that, Gu Yuena blinked, unable to suppress the smile on her lips: "In other words, if you get too excited, I'm afraid no human woman can withstand your current power."
"So this is what you've always really cared about!" Huo Yuhao's lips twitched into a helpless smile upon hearing this.
"What else?"
Gu Yuena patted Huo Yuhao's chest, her usually ethereal and aloof voice rising a few decibels, "You went out for a bit, and this is what happened. If I hadn't arrived in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable."
Huo Yuhao gently stroked Gu Yuena's head, which was slightly puffed up with anger, and did not continue arguing with her.
Given the circumstances, even if Gu Yuena hadn't arrived in time, Hyotei would likely have helped him.
Huo Yuhao channeled his spiritual energy around the dragon core.
The dragon core, which was already spinning slowly, spun even slower, and a strange sense of weakness welled up in his heart.
"Have you considered how much of a burden it would place on my body if I were to condense a soul core right now?"
Although Huo Yuhao's tone contained no hint of blame, it still made Gu Yuena's heart tighten inexplicably.
She could have helped Huo Yuhao temporarily seal away the excessive energy from last night, and then slowly absorb it and transform it into soul power.
However, she still chose to help Huo Yuhao condense the Dragon Core, naturally with her own ulterior motives.
For humans to condense a dragon core, something unique to the dragon race, is indeed a first.
If Huo Yuhao hadn't already possessed an extremely rich Golden Dragon King bloodline as a foundation, he would never have succeeded.
However, even she, who inherited the wisdom of the Dragon God, was not entirely clear about the specific effects of the Dragon Pill after its successful condensation.
But overall, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, right?
Gu Yuena subconsciously shrank further into Huo Yuhao's arms, hesitated for a moment, and then asked somewhat nervously, "Yuhao, are you angry?"
Huo Yuhao pinched Gu Yuena's delicate nose, leaned close to her ear, and whispered a few words to her.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena's face immediately fell.
Does this mean I've shot myself in the foot?
Besides allowing Huo Yuhao's physical body to instantly break through to a non-human level, the dragon core also kept his bloodline in a state of restlessness and expansion, requiring constant release.
Given her current physical condition, she simply cannot continue to satisfy Huo Yuhao.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so badly defeated by Huo Yuhao last night, and the Dragon God power that has been sublimating within her body is almost overflowing.
Dragons, compared to other creatures, possess desires far exceeding those of ordinary beings.
However, they all possess extraordinary wisdom and are not beasts driven solely by their own desires. In most cases, they can resolve or temporarily suppress these desires through other appropriate means.
However, humans are creatures that have strong desires 24 hours a day.
The combination of these two results in an effect that is far greater than the sum of its parts.
That's why Huo Yuhao immediately suppressed the Dragon Core's operating effect after realizing something was wrong. Otherwise, he probably would have overloaded it soon.
Gu Yuena buried her face completely in Huo Yuhao's chest, pressed down on the floor under the bed, and then said in a muffled voice, "I'm completely out of it now. You should go find that little fire dragon down there."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a dull thud came from under the bed.
After a long while, Wu Feng cautiously crawled out from under the bed.
At this moment, she was only wearing close-fitting underwear, and her face was covered with two large dark circles.
When she saw that a corner of her bed had collapsed, the bed beneath the two people was in complete disarray, and there was a striking stain of blood on the sheets.
Wu Feng involuntarily shivered, a look of fear on his face.
She subconsciously took a few steps back and stammered, "Um, good morning, the sun is really nice today. I'll be going now, you guys continue, I won't disturb you any longer."
Wu Feng was incredibly grateful that Gu Yuena's timely appearance last night had saved her life.
With such terrifying destructive power, if she were to actually take to the field, she probably wouldn't even see the sun rise today.
Before Wu Feng could take a few more steps, a flash of silver light appeared, and her figure appeared on the bed.
Gu Yuena looked at Wu Feng, who seemed a little frightened, and gently poked her brow with her finger.
Looking at the faint golden patterns that appeared, a playful smile curled at the corner of his lips: "Do you think you can escape?"
……
Inside Ning Tian's boudoir.
Wu Feng sipped his tea, trying to calm his still-unsettled mind.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, she couldn't help but cough violently a few times, and her pretty face flushed red.
"Fengmei, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing this, Ning Tian frowned slightly and spoke with a hint of concern.
She paused, then asked casually, "Was last night alright?"
Ning Tian didn't really care much about the arrangements Ning Siyuan and Wu Xi made in private, or rather, she had already anticipated that something like this would happen.
Compared to other female members of the sect who mostly have loveless arranged marriages, it's already very good that Wu Feng is able to be with Huo Yuhao, whom she has feelings for.
However, the methods adopted by those two elders were a bit too direct, but they were probably worried that Huo Yuhao would be lured away by women from other forces.
This kind of thing is not uncommon.
As for Ning Tian herself, she could only silently comfort herself, thinking that Huo Yuhao had gone out ahead of time to accumulate experience and practice his skills.
Anyway, Huo Yuhao is surrounded by an abundance of outstanding women. If she really gets jealous so easily, she'll probably drown in a vat of vinegar.
Wu Feng finally managed to swallow the tea in his mouth, and thinking about what he had drunk that morning, he said with lingering fear, "Young Master, they are not human. Just one night, and my bed collapsed..."
"Them?" Ning Tian was taken aback upon hearing this.
As Wu Feng recounted his story in fits and starts, tinged with shame and indignation, Ning Tian's expression became incredibly complex, and his gaze towards Wu Feng was tinged with pity.
"...And Gu Yuena, she's even worse. When she left, she even took all my bed sheets with her, saying she wanted to keep them as souvenirs."
As Wu Feng spoke, she became more and more aggrieved, and in the end, her little face completely fell down.
Ning Tian remained silent for a moment before asking softly, "Does Grandma Wu know about this?"
"My grandmother doesn't know yet, so I came to discuss this with you, young master, as soon as possible."
Wu Feng lowered his eyes, and his voice weakened.
If her grandmother found out that her attempt to steal a chicken had backfired, who knows what she would do next.
"What can I do? You'd better just tell Grandma Wu the truth. Besides, Grandma Wu schemed against Yuhao first; it's already a good thing Yuhao isn't seeking revenge," Ning Tian said somewhat irritably. "And were the things Gu Yuena said to you before she left true?"
Upon hearing Ning Tian mention this matter, Wu Feng's expression became somewhat agitated, and he even subconsciously gestured with his hands:
"Young Master, my bed collapsed, how could it be fake? For us power-attack type Soul Masters, if we don't have the physical qualities of a Soul Saint, it's best not to go all the way with Yuhao, it could really lead to someone's death."
At this point, Wu Feng said somewhat awkwardly, "For someone like you, Young Master, you'd probably need to reach the Title Douluo level, and it would be best to fuse with a high-quality torso bone soul bone, otherwise..."
Wu Feng didn't say what he was going to say, but the meaning was obvious.
Upon hearing this, Ning Tian's expression turned even more unpleasant.
Did the support-type Soul Master eat your rice?
The elegant blonde heiress looked at her best friend, who was still somewhat dazed, and helped her to her feet.
"Feng Mei, come with me."
"Oh, where to?"
Wu Feng was a little confused and asked with a blank look.
Ning Tian said irritably, "Yuhao's family."
Since she couldn't hand over her complete self to Huo Yuhao in the short term...
So, as a second-best option, it would be to first improve Huo Yuhao's mother's favorability and spend as much time as possible by Huo Yuhao's side.
At the very least, we can't let Gu Yuena, a woman with an extremely strong possessive desire, keep monopolizing Huo Yuhao.
Gu Yuena could even remotely sense what happened last night; this woman is terrifying.
Perhaps after school starts, it's time to go and discuss a solution with Sister Tao and the others?
Ning Tian thought to himself.
……
Huo Yuhao's home.
Jiang Nannan, who was getting up early to prepare breakfast, saw Gu Yuena coming out of Huo Yuhao's room as soon as she reached the stairwell.
She instinctively wanted to greet her, but then realized what she was saying: "Gu Yuena, what are you doing coming out of Yuhao's room?"
They had speculated last night that Huo Yuhao must have stayed overnight at the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Tang Ya even joked and encouraged her to sneak into Yuhao's bed at night, saying that as long as she got up early the next morning, she wouldn't be discovered.
Jiang Nannan admitted that she was indeed tempted for a second, but then felt that doing so would be too shameless.
The sisters joked around for a bit, and then the matter was dropped.
As a result, this person in front of me quietly slept in Yuhao's room?
Seemingly unaware of Jiang Nannan's strange and complicated gaze, Gu Yuena simply yawned lazily. "Little rabbit, are you making breakfast today? Remember to put some qi-tonifying and blood-nourishing ingredients in Yuhao's breakfast."
After saying that, he ignored Jiang Nannan's strange expression and walked straight down to the bathroom.
Jiang Nannan suddenly caught a whiff of the strong, unique scent of Huo Yuhao emanating from Gu Yuena.
Looking at the other person's obviously unnatural walking posture, and recalling her cryptic remark earlier.
Jiang Nannan felt a sudden pang of sadness.
I was the one who first met Yuhao, so why has it turned out like this?
Jiang Nannan walked with somewhat heavy steps toward Huo Yuhao's room.
The door to the room was not locked; it could be opened with a gentle push.
Looking up, the boy on the bed, who originally had an otherworldly and detached air, now seemed to have been forcibly pulled down from the mortal world and tainted with the mundane aspects of human life.
It's like a piece of Xuan paper that should have been pure white, but has now been haphazardly smeared with heavy colors that don't belong to it—how glaring, how heartbreaking.
Seeing Huo Yuhao's still somewhat weak expression, Jiang Nannan didn't say anything and quietly left.
He must have been severely abused by that woman, Gu Yuena, last night.
Therefore, how could I possibly disturb his rest?
Jiang Nannan walked down to the kitchen. She remembered that yesterday Aunt Huo seemed to have gone to Aunt Li's house not far away to ask for some nourishing recipe, and even specially picked up some medicinal herbs.
She was not like that woman who only knew how to take and destroy Yuhao's body.
Huo Yuhao, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, suddenly felt a sense of unease.
Tonight, I'm here to help Sister Nan Nan absorb the immortal herb, right?
