Chapter 362 This Buddhist child is uncontrollable; the mother is determined to find herself a stepfa
"My benefactor, please accept my bow."
Before his eyes, the slightly immature white-haired boy was indeed Huo Yuhao.
Without the slightest hesitation, the Demon Emperor instantly changed his posture of tightly embracing her, took half a step back, and made as if he was about to kneel down and perform a grand salute.
Upon seeing this, Huo Yuhao's eyelids twitched, and he quickly waved his right hand.
The gentle wind element steadily supported the Demon Emperor's kneeling body, stopping her movements.
He couldn't help but secretly complain to himself.
Why are Lan Fuzi and the Demon Emperor both like this? They always have to kneel and bow. I have to say, they really are mother and daughter.
"Although I know that what you did back then was not to avenge me, I have always remembered your great kindness in killing my enemy for me for thousands of years, and I dare not forget it in the slightest."
Huo Yuhao forcibly stopped him from kneeling in gratitude, and the Demon Emperor did not continue to insist.
With just a glance, his purplish-gold eyes shone brightly, their light even more intense than before, clearly indicating that he was so excited that he could hardly contain himself.
"Now that we have met again in such dire straits, my benefactor has disregarded past grievances and personally rescued me from that madness of dire straits. This kindness has undoubtedly given me a second life."
From now on, I only wish to stay by your side, my benefactor, serving you faithfully, to express my sincere devotion.
The thought of trying to matchmake Lan Fuzi and Huo Yuhao that had been in his mind just now had long been forgotten by the Demon Emperor.
Lan Fuzi is still so young, she can't even take care of herself, she's so clumsy, how could she possibly serve her benefactor well?
The waters here are far too deep; this Buddhist child cannot grasp them.
There's no other way; to repay our benefactor's great kindness, it seems Mom has to step in herself.
Looking at the Demon Emperor, who was even more enthusiastic than before, Huo Yuhao felt a dryness in his throat and swallowed hard.
I have a feeling that things are not only not getting back on track, but are instead hurtling headlong in some stranger direction.
First, Lan Fuzi made a promise to him, then Xiao Bai inexplicably pledged his loyalty, and now even the Demon Emperor has done the same.
What have I done all day?
……
The once dark, stormy sky above the icy sea gradually dissipated and returned to its former state as the source of the Demon Emperor disappeared.
The icy wind howled across the sea, and the world was a vast expanse of white. Only the enormous cocoon of light, interwoven with red and purple, remained suspended in mid-air.
Lan Fuzi stood on the sea, her beautiful eyes fixed on the cocoon of light, her gaze filled with anxiety and anticipation.
I hope to see my mother return safely from there, even if it's just a little bit different.
And in a slightly farther place.
Bai Xiuxiu, drifting aimlessly in the sea, was blowing bubbles and occasionally stealing glances at the light cocoon.
Seeing that his mother also looked serious and tense, staring motionless in that direction, he couldn't help but move closer and mutter in a low voice:
"Mom, look, it's been almost several hours, why is there still no sound from inside?"
And what were they doing inside that huge, opaque cocoon, all alone together, a man and a woman?
At this moment, Bai Xiuxiu's wariness of Huo Yuhao had reached an unprecedented peak.
Previously, he had reluctantly accepted his mother as a "slave," and now he had spent so much time alone with Lan Fuzi's mother in this small, enclosed space.
Following the typical plot of those human storybooks, it's impossible for her little brain, filled with strange knowledge, not to overthink this situation.
Xiao Bai was quite exasperated with her daughter, who had read countless bizarre human picture books every day. She rolled her eyes at her and warned her in a low voice:
"What kind of nonsense are you thinking about all day long? It's one thing to talk nonsense in front of your mother."
"If you dare utter a single word of these things before the Lord later, I'll shut your mouth. Don't blame me for being heartless then; I'll truly make you a child without a mother."
Hearing her mother's merciless words of favoritism, Bai Xiuxiu buried her head in the water in frustration and spit out several large bubbles.
How much time has passed?
His own mother had already started to side with outsiders, and was even willing to abandon him for that other person.
If things go on for a while, and that big bad guy really does...
If a few more half-sisters suddenly appear out of nowhere to compete for my favor, wouldn't my status in this family plummet to rock bottom, turning me into nothing more than a stray dog on the street?
Before Bai Xiuxiu could come up with any brilliant way to save her position in the family...
The cocoon of light, suspended in mid-air, began to tremble violently.
With a crisp cracking sound, the cocoon of light exploded, turning into thousands of dazzling points of light that dissipated into the void.
Two figures slowly emerged from the shower of light.
Lan Fuzi's tense nerves finally relaxed, and an undisguised joy appeared on her face.
Just as he was about to step forward to greet his mother, he suddenly stopped in his tracks and froze on the spot.
Where did that white-haired boy standing next to his mother, with his handsome face that was almost too much, come from?
Could this be the adult's true form?
Lan Fuzi's gaze lingered on Huo Yuhao for a moment before turning to her mother.
This sight made her heart skip a beat.
At this moment, the Demon Emperor was still wearing a dark purple dress, exuding unparalleled elegance.
But compared to her previous suffocating and potentially destructive tyranny, she now exudes a gentle and tender aura.
The feeling was like a long-parched desert finally receiving a refreshing rain, nourishing and... .
But why was there such overflowing tenderness in the mother's eyes when she looked at the boy beside her?
The charm in her eyes was so captivating, it was as if she were a young girl experiencing a second spring in her life looking at her lover, rather than an elder who had just overcome her inner demons!
An extremely ominous thought suddenly surfaced in Lan Fuzi's mind.
She hadn't forgotten that not long ago, Little White had sacrificed herself, whole and intact, to protect the Great White Shark clan.
Most importantly, the official had already agreed at that time.
Now look at your mother's affectionate expression.
Could it be that the true form of that person is such a handsome young man, and therefore, like a boy his age, he is attracted to older, more mature women, or even... !
Thinking of this, Lan Fuzi's cheeks puffed up like a pufferfish in a huff.
She asked him to help bring her gentle mother back, not for him to secretly become her father in that small, enclosed space.
I was the one who met the adult first, and I was the one who was saved by the adult first.
Why does it feel like I'm the outsider now?
Bai Xiuxiu was no less shocked than Lan Fuzi at this moment.
In her vivid imagination, that terrifying humanoid dragon would one day use a whip to cruelly torture her mother.
Reality, however, gave her a harsh slap in the face.
The true form of that humanoid dragon was actually a peerless, handsome white-haired youth who was so striking that one couldn't take their eyes off him.
Just from a glimpse from afar, Bai Xiuxiu felt her heart race uncontrollably.
"It's all over, it's all over..."
Bai Xiuxiu covered her slightly flushed cheeks with her fish fins, and her thoughts took a complete 180-degree turn in an instant.
Suddenly, I felt like my mother was getting a great deal by being "slave" to such a handsome young man.
Just as the two girls were lost in their own thoughts and wild ideas, each with their own ideas, they were pondering something different.
The Demon Emperor looked at his daughter, who was standing there blankly, not coming over for a long time.
The spring-like light in her eyes immediately faded, her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and she beckoned to Lan Fuzi, her tone carrying a hint of maternal authority:
"Buddha's disciple, what are you standing there daydreaming about? Come and greet your benefactor!"
At this point, the Demon Emperor paused, his gaze sweeping over Huo Yuhao, who looked somewhat helpless beside him, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.
"Hmm, let me think. It's disrespectful to call him by his name directly, but calling him 'benefactor' seems too distant. How about this, you can call him Uncle Huo from now on?"
"Uncle Huo?"
Upon hearing this, Lan Fuzi was struck dumb, and her voice became distorted.
She originally thought that her mother called the white-haired boy her benefactor because he had gotten rid of the evil thoughts in her mother.
But who exactly is this "Uncle Huo"?
This is clearly an attempt to force a generational gap between oneself and the other party; anyone with a brain can understand the implication.
My mother is determined to find me a stepfather.
"...Wait, his surname is Huo?"
After the initial shock, Lan Fuzi suddenly noticed the key surname, and a flash of inspiration struck her.
It turns out that the adult's true identity is Huo Yuhao, the legendary god who became a god ten thousand years ago and killed the sea god Tang San.
No wonder my mother has become like this, as if she's starting to want to find me a stepfather.
Upon hearing the conversation between the Demon Emperor and Lan Fuzi, Xiao Bai's heart skipped a beat.
No wonder the Lord was able to release the Sea God's authority so easily before; it turns out that was the reason.
Knowing this, the last bit of worry that Xiaobai had was completely gone.
Seeing his daughter still standing there in shock, the Demon Emperor ignored her and focused on how to gradually help the silly girl accept reality.
Then, he slightly raised his eyes, his gaze instantly turning cold, and warned Xiaobai:
"I can spare you and your people for now, out of respect for my benefactor. But you'd better remember the oath you just swore."
From this day forward, your sinful body, which once served as an accomplice of the sea god, will belong solely to your benefactor, both in body and soul.
If I ever find out that you dare to harbor even the slightest disloyalty, or fail to serve me properly, I will slaughter you and those demonic great white sharks without mercy!
Upon hearing the Demon Emperor's extremely oppressive warning, Xiao Bai showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, he nodded repeatedly, his lips even curving upwards in a barely suppressed smile.
"Yes, yes, don't worry. Xiaobai will keep it in mind and will serve the Lord wholeheartedly in the future, without the slightest disloyalty."
Are you kidding me!
When she had previously risked everything and made up her mind to serve the humanoid dragon wholeheartedly, she was actually still apprehensive, worried that her old bones might not be able to withstand the terrifying impact of the dragon.
But now, the so-called humanoid dragon's true form is actually such a handsome and otherworldly young man.
For her, this was hardly a punishment; it was an incredible stroke of luck, like an old cow eating young grass. No matter how she looked at it, she had made a huge profit.
Even if nothing substantial happened in the end, just being able to stay by the side of such a delightful child every day made Xiaobai feel like she could be tens of thousands of years younger, and rediscover the feeling of her teenage years.
No matter how you look at it, this master in front of her is much more pleasing to the eye than her own silly daughter.
Listening to the Demon Emperor's well-organized arrangements, Huo Yuhao felt a chill run down his spine, as if the course of events had far exceeded his control.
Fortunately, at this moment, a violent fluctuation suddenly occurred in the surrounding void.
A pitch-black spatial rift suddenly tore open, and Di Tian's tall figure stepped out from it.
As soon as they appeared, they saw this strange scene, especially Huo Yuhao's face, which looked both embarrassed and helpless, as if he were being roasted over a fire.
Di Tian immediately had some guesses in his mind, and quickly stepped forward, respectfully bowing to Huo Yuhao and saying, "Your Excellency, I have failed in my duties."
Previously, Princess Hai and I joined forces to hunt down Long Yeyue, but that old guy was indeed quite capable. Even at the cost of burning his own life essence, he managed to make her escape back to Douluo Continent.
This would likely introduce many unforeseen circumstances into our upcoming plans.
Even though Gu Yuena had told him that she could call Huo Yuhao "Mother" in the future.
But after all, he and Huo Yuhao were old friends who had known each other for a long time, and Huo Yuhao's bloodline truly deserved the title of "Lord".
At this critical juncture where the soul beast race faces life and death, Di Tian had no time to ridicule Huo Yuhao's private affairs.
Seeing that Di Tian had brought up serious matters and helped him out of the predicament, Huo Yuhao immediately breathed a sigh of relief and nodded slightly in response:
"It's alright. Reaching the Limit Douluo level is inherently difficult. Moreover, that Light and Dark Douluo broke through at the last minute, and with the aid of the four-word battle armor, it will be no easy task to keep her here. You don't need to blame yourself too much."
At this point, Huo Yuhao frowned again, feeling extremely troubled by Chen Xinjie's loss of fighting spirit and attempt to commit suicide.
With one dead and the other escaping, the situation has indeed become quite complicated.
It seems I need to find a way to contact Professor Yi and see if he has a better solution to this situation.
