Douluo Continent: Reborn Yuhao, their eyes are strange

Chapter 104 Gu Yuena's Knowledge Explosion

Chapter 104 Gu Yuena's Knowledge Explosion

As night deepened, the infirmary in the inner courtyard of Poseidon Island became exceptionally quiet, with a faint, not unpleasant, herbal scent permeating the air.

Several soul-guiding lamps, placed in recesses in the wall, were emitting a soft glow.

On the hospital bed, Wu Ming lay quietly, her face rosy and her breathing steady, looking as if she were fast asleep.

Huo Yuhao gently pushed open the door to the infirmary and immediately saw Han Ruoruo standing guard by the bedside.

Han Ruoruo was wearing an elegant white dress, her smooth hair slightly messy.

Her usually gentle face bore an undeniable weariness, clearly due to not having had a proper rest for many days.

Seeing Huo Yuhao enter, a complex emotion flashed across Han Ruoruo's eyes, and she said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Junior brother, you've come to see Ming'er."

Huo Yuhao walked to the bedside, his gaze shifting from Wu Ming's face to Han Ruoruo, his voice low.

"Senior Han Ruoruo, how is Senior Wu Ming doing?"

Looking at Wu Ming, who was fast asleep on the hospital bed, Huo Yuhao felt a pang of worry.

Like Ye Liu and Li Yongyue, after receiving help from Bi Ji and follow-up treatment from Elder Zhuang, they have both woken up and regained consciousness.

Wu Ming, however, remained in a deep coma, showing no signs of waking up.

Han Ruoruo rubbed her temples wearily, her voice filled with a deep sense of helplessness.

"Elder Zhuang has already examined her carefully. Ming'er was interfered with by external forces while absorbing the spirit ring. Although she managed to absorb the spirit ring successfully thanks to that spirit bone, she then forcibly used her Martial Soul True Body, which severely damaged her spiritual sea."

At this point, Han Ruoruo's voice was already visibly choked with emotion.

She tried hard to control her emotions, but her eyes still couldn't help but redden.

"Old Zhuang said that this situation is very difficult. If she cannot be given a strong enough external stimulus to generate a strong will to live in her soul, Ming'er may remain in a coma for the rest of her life."

As Huo Yuhao listened, his heart grew heavier.

He was all too aware of the severity of the damage to his spiritual sea.

For ordinary Soul Masters, the Sea of ​​Spirit and the Origin of Soul are almost one.

When the sea of ​​the spirit is damaged, it is equivalent to the very essence of the soul being injured.

The severity of this injury is second only to the situation in his previous life when he burned his spiritual sea.

Like in her previous life, Tang Ya's spiritual sea was affected by evil poison.

Before I found the Blue Silver Emperor after I helped her detoxify, Tang Ya was in a dazed state for a period of time, like a walking corpse.

Huo Yuhao stepped forward, intending to carefully examine Wu Ming's condition and see if he could, with his current abilities, attempt to repair Wu Ming's damaged spiritual sea.

However, he wasn't entirely confident about this, given that damage to the spiritual sea was no small matter.

If that really doesn't work, we'll probably have to wait until Professor Electrolux wakes up before we can figure out how to heal Wu Ming's mental sea.

Everyone has their own area of ​​expertise, and Huo Yuhao was well aware that his attainments in mental strength and soul were completely inferior to those of his teacher, Electrolux.

In his previous life, he cultivated for less than thirty years at most, and eventually became a god by inheriting a divine position. How could he possibly compare to Professor Electrox, who had spent half his life playing with the undead?

However, just as Huo Yuhao was about to reach out to check on Wu Ming's condition, Han Ruoruo grabbed him.

She looked at Huo Yuhao with teary eyes, and said in a sobbing voice:

"My senior sister once told me that Ming'er was willing to risk her life for you, her junior, which shows how important you are to her."

So after much thought, I'm afraid only a sufficiently strong stimulus from you can successfully awaken Ming'er."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao felt somewhat confused and didn't understand what Han Ruoruo was trying to say for a moment.

"Senior Han Ruoruo, what do you mean...?"

Han Ruoruo took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind.

Her fair fingers brushed across the storage soul tool at her waist, and in the next moment, several books with flashy covers and somewhat suggestive titles appeared in her hand.

Huo Yuhao's heart tightened suddenly, and his eyelids twitched uncontrollably.

His eyes inadvertently glanced at the covers and titles of those storybooks.

Those names alone are enough to conjure up countless beautiful images in one's mind.

Moreover, without exception, every single one of them is a type of book that involves various intricate and complex emotional relationships.

At this moment, Han Ruoruo now wears a pair of exquisite non-prescription glasses on the bridge of her nose.

Behind the glasses, her originally gentle eyes shone with an inexplicable brilliance, and her entire demeanor underwent a subtle change that was difficult to describe.

Huo Yuhao suddenly realized that the senior sister Han Ruoruo in front of him seemed to have become somewhat unfamiliar to him.

Han Ruoruo placed the storybooks on the bedside table, her eyes lowered, making it impossible to discern her true expression.

"Junior, I think if you're willing to act out some of the scenes with me, it would really have a huge impact on Ming'er. That way, she might wake up."

"Junior, in the inner courtyard, Ming'er is truly my only close friend. This is the only method I can think of. I'm willing to try anything, as long as there's a glimmer of hope."

If it weren't for the fact that there was really no other way, Han Ruoruo would never want to expose her private and somewhat embarrassing fetish in front of Huo Yuhao, especially in front of Wu Ming's sickbed.

Regardless of how Huo Yuhao would view her in the future, she decided to give it a try.

In her view, this might really be the only way to stimulate Wu Ming enough to awaken her.

The emotional entanglements and impact of those storybooks stirred her soul even when she read them in private.

Moreover, Wu Ming already had a great fondness for Huo Yuhao, and the role she was going to play was that of an older sister who would steal Huo Yuhao's heart.

Huo Yuhao opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found his throat was dry, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.

refuse?

Listening to Han Ruoruo's hopeful and pleading words, and looking at Wu Ming lying unconscious on the hospital bed, he simply couldn't bring himself to say the words of refusal.

But will this method really work?

And this is just too much...

Seeing that Huo Yuhao did not respond for a long time, Han Ruoruo kept her head down, her voice filled with disappointment and pleading.

"Junior, is it not allowed?"

Looking at Han Ruoruo, the usually gentle and kind senior who was now willing to risk everything for her friend, Huo Yuhao was filled with mixed emotions.

He nodded somewhat stiffly.

Perhaps Han Ruoruo's method really works, who knows?

The thought flashed through Huo Yuhao's mind, but he hesitated before asking, "Senior, what if Senior Wu Ming remembers what happened after she wakes up?"

"Don't worry, junior. If Ming'er really wakes up because of this, she probably won't care about such a small thing."

Is it really a small matter if it can stimulate a person to forcibly awaken their will to survive?

Huo Yuhao was filled with deep doubt.

……

Zhang Lexuan felt very irritable and even fell into deep self-destructive behavior.

It wasn't just because of the various things that had happened in the Star Dou Great Forest, but more so because of the strange relationship between Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena's behavior was too abnormal.

Aside from showing extra concern for Huo Yuhao's affairs, she seemed indifferent to everything else, even lacking some of the most basic common sense knowledge.

At least by evening, Huo Yuhao clarified Gu Yuena's claim that she was Huo Yuhao's fiancée.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that Gu Yuena simply couldn't find the right words to accurately describe the relationship between her and Huo Yuhao.

This made Zhang Lexuan feel inexplicably relieved.

However, Gu Yuena still exhibited a very inexplicable possessive behavior towards Huo Yuhao.

Gu Yuena sometimes appeared surprisingly magnanimous about the intimate behavior that Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen showed towards Huo Yuhao, as if she didn't care at all, but at other times she was very calculating, and her possessiveness was almost overflowing.

Zhang Lexuan had no doubt that if Huo Yuhao hadn't intervened in time, Gu Yuena would have already started fighting with Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen without them even noticing.

What exhausted Zhang Lexuan the most was that she couldn't beat Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena, on the other hand, always believed that there was nothing wrong with her behavior, taking it all for granted.

Zhang Lexuan's final conclusion was that Huo Yuhao held a very special place in Gu Yuena's heart.

She was even so special that she was willing to allow Huo Yuhao to interact with other women when she was in a good mood.

However, her tolerance was always tinged with arrogance, so much so that she believed Huo Yuhao belonged only to her, and that everyone else was just a temporary pastime for Huo Yuhao.

How could the junior brother possibly find true happiness in the hands of such an unreasonable, almost domineering and arrogant woman?

As the senior disciple of the inner courtyard, I have the responsibility and obligation to help my junior brother escape his suffering.

This was the conclusion she reached after friendly discussions with Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen.

To defeat the dragon guarding the treasure, Zhang Lexuan must find a mentor who can guide her through life's challenges.

The natural choice is Han Ruoruo, who has extensive reading experience and can be considered a master of emotional theory.

After calming her chaotic emotions, Zhang Lexuan prepared to push open the door and go in to visit Wu Ming, who was still unconscious, and Han Ruoruo, who had been taking good care of her.

However, Zhang Lexuan's outstretched hand suddenly stopped in mid-air.

Some inexplicable words were faintly transmitted to her ears through the not-so-thick door.

Are those the voices of Junior Brother and Han Ruoruo?

Zhang Lexuan's heart skipped a beat. She subconsciously held her breath, pressed her ear against the door, and began to listen carefully to the sounds inside.

As the conversation inside became clearer, her pretty face slowly began to flush red.

Ruoruo, she's too bold.

Aren't you best friends?

How could you do such a thing!

Zhang Lexuan felt her head buzzing, unsure whether she should barge in.

Just as Zhang Lexuan hesitated, a fair little hand suddenly patted her shoulder.

This sudden attack almost made Zhang Lexuan scream on the spot.

Fortunately, she usually has a strong mental fortitude, which prevented her from losing her composure.

Zhang Lexuan turned her head stiffly and saw Gu Yuena with a puzzled look on her face. Her heart immediately became uneasy.

If Gu Yuena were to discover what was happening inside, given her intense possessiveness towards Huo Yuhao, wouldn't she be so furious that she wanted to kill Han Ruoruo on the spot for stealing her treasure?

Looking at Zhang Lexuan's tense expression, Gu Yuena asked curiously, "What were you eavesdropping on just now?"

Based on the mark she had left on Huo Yuhao, Gu Yuena was naturally able to sense that Huo Yuhao was in this room.

However, to show respect for Huo Yuhao, she would not casually observe the specific situation around Huo Yuhao unless he was in mortal danger.

"It's nothing."

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Zhang Lexuan's forehead. She tried to lower her voice and said, "I just came to visit Ming'er. You probably don't know Ming'er well, so why did you suddenly come here?"

Zhang Lexuan had already overheard the crucial details, and if Gu Yuena were to barge in now, it could lead to irreversible consequences.

Gu Yuena blinked, nimbly bypassing Zhang Lexuan who was trying to block her, and then followed suit by pressing her ear against the wall.

After listening for only a few seconds, Gu Yuena straightened up.

A silver light flashed from Gu Yuena's fingertip, instantly forming a light shield that enveloped her and Zhang Lexuan.

"Alright, now you can continue listening in peace. The people inside won't hear us talking here."

As Gu Yuena explained casually, she pulled out a small booklet and a pen from somewhere.

She pressed her ear against the door again, eavesdropping every now and then, and then quickly jotted something down in the notebook.

Watching Gu Yuena's series of fluid and seamless actions, Zhang Lexuan suddenly felt that her brain was not quite up to the task.

She couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?"

"Study." Gu Yuena ignored Zhang Lexuan and was writing crooked symbols on the booklet with a serious expression.

"I never fully understood Yuhao's preferences before, but now it seems that this is what he likes. He's clearly so playful in private, yet he still rejected me before. Ha, men."

Zhang Lexuan, who had pressed her ear back against the door, raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

Because that phrase, "Ha, men," was exactly what Han Ruoruo had just said inside.

Is Gu Yuena learning something new and then putting it into practice?

Zhang Lexuan suddenly realized that their previous idea of ​​joining forces to deal with Gu Yuena might have been a bit of an overreaction.

Gu Yuena, is she actually the type with high attack and high defense?

……

Life is like a delicate young girl who, when faced with a fierce and powerful man, seems to be able to do nothing but helplessly shed tears of regret.

On the first night, Wu Ming, who was originally in a coma, moved her fingers.

For the next week, Huo Yuhao had to make time every night to accompany Han Ruoruo in this special performance.

It was during this process that Huo Yuhao gradually realized that Han Ruoruo was indeed very dangerous to him.

Because of Huo Yuhao's simulated soul skill, the sense of immersion was even stronger, which sometimes caused the situation to develop to a certain extent out of control.

In front of Huo Yuhao, Senior Sister Han Ruoruo completely shed her usual gentle and quiet demeanor, immersing herself in endless fantasies and bold endeavors about Huo Yuhao.

Although, at both the beginning and the end, Han Ruoruo, who had returned to her original gentle self, always emphasized repeatedly that everything she did was for her best friend, Wu Ming.

With Han Ruoruo's continuous efforts, Wu Ming's perception of the outside world became more and more obvious, and he was clearly getting better.

What a joy.

As for Huo Yuhao, who was "ravaged" by Han Ruoruo, who cares?
