Chapter 33 Inspiration
"Wait, you're planning to go see this child directly?" Xue Di asked, somewhat puzzled.
"No, I'm just helping out. This little guy has quite a lot of talent." Ye Nanxiao quietly walked behind Huo Yuhao and used his soul power to slightly stimulate Huo Yuhao's body.
Huo Yuhao felt a sudden dizziness and took a while to come back to his senses, but Ye Nanxiao had already left.
"How is that woman's physical condition?" Although Xue Di was not human, she had spent a lot of time with Ye Nanxiao, and her perception of humans had changed a lot. Ye Nanxiao checked Huo Yuhao's physical condition and then stimulated the tiny soul power in Huo Yuhao's body, causing the soul power in Huo Yuhao's body to slowly increase.
As for Huo Yun, Ye Nanxiao could only apologize to Huo Yuhao in his heart. Huo Yun had overdrawn her life force, and Ye Nanxiao could only say that her maternal love was great that she was still alive.
"You plan to take that child as your apprentice?" Having lived with Ye Nanxiao for so long, Xue Di didn't believe that Ye Nanxiao was simply coming to visit, especially since it was a child she had never met before.
"Let's go back first, I'll think about it some more." Ye Nanxiao smoothed his furrowed brows, forcibly suppressing a trace of irritation in his heart. Take Huo Yuhao as a disciple? Don't be ridiculous, Ye Nanxiao didn't think he had any ability to compare with Elder Mu.
But his plan requires Huo Yuhao.
Back at his temporary lodging, Ye Nanxiao took out a pen and started sketching on a piece of paper, creating a small draft of a ring-shaped soul tool.
Xue Di materialized her body and sat down next to Ye Nanxiao, watching him sketch. She could sense Ye Nanxiao's current agitation, but knowing his personality, Xue Di did not choose to comfort him.
"You didn't know this child before, did you?" Xue Di thought for a moment and voiced her doubts.
"He is the chosen one, favored by fate." Ye Nanxiao stopped drawing the draft, rubbed his temples with his left hand, closed his eyes and remained silent for a moment before giving a very mysterious answer.
Upon hearing Ye Nanxiao's answer, Xue Di remained silent for a moment before asking, "And what about you?"
Ye Nanxiao put down his pen, turned to look at Xue Di, and said with an extremely serious expression, "I may or may not have it, but I believe that child today can reach that level. He is worth nurturing, and if he succeeds, he will be a great help to us in the future."
After thinking for a moment, Ye Nanxiao hesitated, then lowered his head to continue drawing the soul tool blueprints. After a while, he finally spoke, "When the time comes, you should go and follow him."
The restlessness in his heart prevented Ye Nanxiao from calming down and thinking; his mind was like a jumbled mess.
Xue Di's face instantly darkened, like a storm that had suddenly descended.
He raised his hand and slapped the blueprints out of Ye Nanxiao's hand. He then forcefully pinched Ye Nanxiao's chin with his right hand, forcing Ye Nanxiao to come closer and look at him directly.
The Snow Emperor's expression was serious as she said, word by word, "Don't even think about abandoning me. If you can't reach that level, then so be it."
Ye Nanxiao did not resist, but quietly looked at Xue Di. Xue Di also stared straight at him. Having lived together for so long, the two were already familiar with each other and used to each other's company.
Looking at the serious-looking Xue Di, Ye Nanxiao's annoyance had long since vanished.
"Alright, I was wrong, don't be angry." Ye Nanxiao pried Xue Di's hand off his, gently rubbed it, and continued drawing the soul tool.
Xue Di was also very quiet, resting her head on Ye Nanxiao's shoulder and watching him draw the draft.
Ye Nanxiao was conceiving a trigger-based attack soul tool. He had previously extorted a lot of rare metals from Qian Duoduo, but he couldn't use the blood forging method anymore, since it wasn't living metal and wasn't worth such a large expenditure.
Huo Yuhao will travel to the Star Dou Great Forest alone. Whether he will encounter Tang Ya and Bei Bei is another matter, as the timeline has changed. Huo Yuhao's safety must be guaranteed, since one of his high-level combatants is now throwing a tantrum at him.
Ye Nanxiao understood that the impact of his own actions would grow larger and larger in the future, so Huo Yuhao was Ye Nanxiao's last insurance policy and a bargaining chip that could be won over.
A small ice blade popped out from Ye Nanxiao's right index finger. He took out a piece of star silver from his storage ring, examined it briefly, and began to carve it.
Ye Nanxiao didn't intend to give Huo Yuhao a very powerful soul tool. A fledgling eagle needs to fall before it can soar, so he only made a simple level three soul tool ring. Star silver has a strong affinity for soul power. Not to mention its extremely high density, it can release more than twice the original soul power. This is the best material for making energy gathering arrays. A one-kilogram piece of it would be worth at least 100,000 gold soul coins.
Blow away the metal shavings produced by the carving, and engrave a small "霄" character on the inside of the ring; the soul tool is now complete.
"Is it finished?" Xue Di's cold voice came.
Ye Nanxiao noticed the small hand lurking around his waist, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and realized he had forgotten that Xue Di was still being difficult. He quickly took Xue Di's small hand and said with a smile, "Xue'er, why don't we go for another stroll? There's still plenty of delicious food to eat."
"Alright, but I don't want to walk anymore, I'm a little tired." The Snow Empress pretended to rub her snow-white thighs and waved them in front of Ye Nanxiao.
This is a clear indication that Master Ye is working hard as a masseur today. Look, Master Ye's eyes are full of tears of happiness.
Ye Nanxiao felt that it was best to avoid getting involved with women in the future, especially the arrogant type.
Ye Nanxiao gritted his teeth and said, "Then I'll go and pack up all the good food on the whole street." He felt a pang of regret for his pocket money for a second.
The Snow Emperor said regretfully, "What should I do, Xiao'er, if I want to see the scenery outside?" She looked at Ye Nanxiao with a playful expression.
"Alright, Xue'er, stop playing around. I was wrong." Ye Nanxiao put his hands together and raised them above his head.
"Okay, don't say that again." Xue Di stretched out her hands and said, "Carry me on your back."
Ye Nanxiao suddenly felt that it would be better to activate his bloodline sooner rather than later, so that he could become a big fox and avoid suffering.

At midday, the bright sunlight shone on the crystal-clear glazed tiles, bathing the entire Duke's mansion in a dazzling golden light, which could be faintly seen even from the top of Xingluo City.
The back door on the north side of the Duke's mansion opened silently, and a small, thin figure quietly slipped out.
Xiao Ye No. 1, who had been responsible for monitoring the Duke's mansion from a distance, put down his binoculars and immediately followed.
Huo Yuhao wanted to go out and see if there were any wild fruits or something to eat.
There are several forests near the Duke's mansion, and Huo Yuhao often goes to the surrounding groves to see if there are any wild fruits or vegetables.
"My mother's health is getting worse and worse, I must be strong!" Young Huo Yuhao had already experienced the hardships of life at a young age.
Huo Yuhao's mother raised him with great difficulty, and when he was six years old, he awakened his martial soul in the mansion.
However, Huo Yuhao did not inherit the martial soul of the White Tiger lineage. Instead, he had a rare mutation, his original martial soul being the Spirit Eye. Although it possessed a rare spiritual attribute, Huo Yuhao's innate soul power was only level one.
He put in several times more effort than his peers, swallowing all his sweat and tears. However, Huo Yuhao's talent for cultivation was indeed poor, and spirit beasts with spiritual attributes were rare. Madam White Tiger believed that Huo Yuhao would never amount to anything in his life, and only gave him a basic method for cultivating soul power out of respect for Dai Hao.
After Huo Yuhao left, Ye Nanxiao sneaked into the backyard of the Duke's mansion again and arrived at the woodshed where Huo Yuhao and his mother lived. Just as he was about to push open the door, he hesitated. How could he tell Huo Yun? He was originally a stranger, and suddenly he wanted to teach Huo Yuhao? "Your son has extraordinary talent."
"Come in." A weak voice came from inside the door. Ye Nanxiao subconsciously checked and suppressed his aura, then looked around warily.
Confirming there was no possibility of exposure, Ye Nanxiao pushed open the door and went inside. Huo Yun was leaning against the wooden bed, her eyes were very clear, and she looked at Ye Nanxiao without surprise.
"Could it be? Perhaps my analysis is correct. As Dai Hao's personal maid, how could she not have any extraordinary abilities?" Ye Nanxiao stepped closer and introduced herself generously, "My name is Ye Nanxiao, I am a Soul Master from Shrek Academy."
"I know, you came yesterday." Huo Yun smiled. As Dai Hao's personal maid, Huo Yun had a very special perception ability since childhood and had made many contributions to Dai Hao.
"You mean no harm, I can sense your feelings. Can you tell me why you came here?" Huo Yun asked.
"Your son possesses a talent rarely seen in the world." Ye Nanxiao chose to keep the story short.
Huo Yun couldn't figure out why Ye Nanxiao would help her son. After all, under the suppression of Madam Baihu, Dai Hao had gradually forgotten Huo Yuhao's existence.
Huo Yun remained silent for a moment, then stared directly at Ye Nanxiao and asked, "May I know your reason?"
Ye Nanxiao remained silent for a moment, then met Huo Yun's gaze without backing down, and said in a deep voice, "Or perhaps it was fate."
"Oh, I see. Then I'll leave Yuhao in your care. I don't have much time left." Huo Yun wanted to get up to thank Ye Nanxiao, but her body had already collapsed. Ye Nanxiao quickly transferred his soul power to Huo Yun and helped her lie down again.
"I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do for your health at the moment," Ye Nanxiao apologized.
"It's alright, child. I know my own situation. That's great. Shrek Academy is a wonderful place." Huo Yun smiled happily. Over the years, if it weren't for Huo Yuhao, Huo Yun would have had no reason to live.
Looking at Huo Yun's smile, Ye Nanxiao felt a tightness in his chest, his expression constantly changing, his fists clenched tightly.
"I can try my luck if Huo Yun is alive," Ye Nanxiao thought to himself.
Ye Nanxiao finally decided to take a gamble and said, "However, I can maintain your life for now, but not here."
Ye Nanxiao did not continue speaking. To maintain Huo Yun's body, one must gently nourish it with soul power every day, but this is not a fundamental cure.
"Should we leave Yuhao?" Huo Yun slowly closed her eyes, remained silent for a while, and then continued, "But Yuhao is still too young."
Ye Nanxiao lowered his head, avoiding Huo Yun's eyes, and said, "As things stand, I'm keeping an eye on Yuhao's condition. Please trust me."
Huo Yun looked at Ye Nanxiao as if trying to see through him.
Noticing Huo Yun's gaze, Ye Nanxiao hesitated for a moment before looking up to meet her eyes. Under Huo Yun's gaze, Ye Nanxiao felt that his plans had been seen through, but he believed that Huo Yun would not refuse.
After a long pause, Huo Yun smiled and said, "Thank you very much."
"It is I who thank you."
Ye Nanxiao enveloped Huo Yun's body with his soul power, and with the flying soul tool "given" by Qian Duoduo, he took off into the air and flew into the distance with the help of the soul tool. At the same time, he used his mental power to create a memory of Huo Yun's death from illness for several servants nearby.
"It will be interesting to see each other again after so long," Ye Nanxiao said with a hint of sarcasm.
Huo Yuhao encountered Ye Nanxiao's clone in the woods. Seeing Little Ye No. 1 lying on the ground with a note on his back that read "Starving to death," Huo Yuhao picked up a fruit and threw it at him.
"Young man, you have a kind heart!" Little Ye No. 1 stood up instantly, caught the fruit that Huo Yuhao threw to him, and swallowed it in one gulp.
At first, Huo Yuhao remained highly vigilant, but under Ye Nanxiao's strong "approachability," Huo Yuhao finally agreed to communicate with Ye Nanxiao.
"You said you're from Shrek Academy? The number one academy on the continent?" Huo Yuhao asked with envy on his face.
Shrek Academy is the number one academy on the entire continent. All of Dai Hao's other sons want to go there. Dai Huabin, who usually bullies Huo Yuhao, will also be going to Shrek next year. Huo Yuhao, who is also Dai Hao's son, is in a bit of a sorry state.
Ye Nanxiao patted Huo Yuhao's head, ruffled his hair, and said, "Little Yuhao, do you want to become a Soul Master? I can help you."
"But why are you helping me?" Huo Yuhao couldn't believe he had stumbled upon such a good thing.
"Perhaps it's fate that we're together, after all, I ate some wild fruit from you." Ye Nanxiao tricked Huo Yuhao into giving him some wild fruit in order to get close to him.
"Thank you," Huo Yuhao said sincerely, his eyes slightly red.
"Alright, starting today, I'm your brother. This ring is for you as a gift." Ye Nanxiao looked at Huo Yuhao with some apology. After all, when he returned home, he found that his mother was missing. Coupled with the deliberately fabricated lie, could Huo Yuhao hold on?
Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Huo Yuhao carefully put the ring on his right hand, pulled down his sleeve to cover it, and felt a pang of pain in Ye Nanxiao's heart at Huo Yuhao's little gesture.
"Sit cross-legged, I will guide you in your cultivation."
"Okay." Huo Yuhao quickly sat down, and Ye Nanxiao used his own soul power to soothe Huo Yuhao's body. Huo Yun had suffered a lot when she was pregnant with Huo Yuhao, and Huo Yuhao's body was not very good, with many meridians blocked.
