Chapter 269 Dark Bell: We'll get our marriage certificate this afternoon and have the wedding tomorrow.
Not far from there, you'll find an open-air restaurant near the coastline.
On one of the seats under a parasol sat a black-haired girl who looked to be about ten years old.
The girl had black twin ponytails that fell to her shoulders, with delicate bows tied in her hair.
She wore an elaborate Gothic dress with layers of lace skirts and a pair of equally black knee-high leather boots.
The sliver of fair, delicate skin that peeked out from between her boots and skirt shimmered brilliantly in the seaside sunshine, drawing all eyes.
The girl clearly noticed the arrival of the dark-eyed man, but she didn't get up. Instead, she raised her hand and leisurely took a sip of her milk tea.
I was just about to start by revealing a few of Dark Blood Eyes' shortcomings, as is my usual practice.
Her gaze, however, instantly bypassed the former and locked onto the white-haired boy behind him.
Without the slightest hesitation, the languid look on Dark Bell's face vanished instantly.
She took a few steps forward, gracefully bypassing the dark, blood-red eyes, and stood steadily in front of Huo Yuhao.
Those beautiful big eyes blinked, looking him up and down without any attempt to hide it, as if admiring a rare treasure, and even her breathing became a little rapid.
"Oh dear, Dark Blood Eyes, what earth-shattering thing happened to you on your trip to the Star Luo Continent? Did you also manage to cure your misogyny? Even your tastes have changed."
The sound of the dark bell was exceptionally clear, carrying a unique charm characteristic of a young girl.
"I was wondering why you asked me to come out. Turns out, it was just to show off that you found such a handsome young man?"
As she spoke, her tone rose several decibels, her envy, jealousy, and resentment almost overflowing.
Dark Blood Eyes was not wearing a gray robe; he was simply dressed in casual clothes.
Her short, bluish-purple hair, coupled with her expressionless face that resembled that of an exquisite doll, made her appear unusually aloof.
Dark Blood Eyes did not respond verbally to Dark Bell's provocative question.
She simply shifted her nearly 1.8-meter-tall frame slightly to the side, once again completely blocking Dark Bell's petite figure from Huo Yuhao's view.
"Hey, you old woman, you're blocking my view. Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're tall!"
Dark Bell immediately began to complain, reaching out to grab Dark Blood Eyes' arms and trying to pull her away, but found that the other party did not budge.
Reluctantly, she poked her head out from in front of her, raised an eyebrow at Huo Yuhao, and gave him a wicked smile, looking exactly like a wicked older sister about to abduct an ignorant boy.
"Little brother, I don't see that you've been marked with the Blood Servant mark by that old woman, Dark Blood Eyes. How about it? Why don't you consider coming with me?"
Seeing Huo Yuhao's slightly furrowed brows, Dark Bell's heart skipped a beat, and the sound she uttered was alluringly sweet.
"Little brother, since you've been following this old woman, Dark Blood Eyes, you must know her true identity, right?"
She's going to stay in the Holy Spirit Cult forever. What good will come of you following her? Why not come with me? I guarantee you'll not only keep your life, but you'll also be able to live openly and honestly in this world.”
Seeing that the boy in front of her didn't seem to react much, Dark Bell had no choice but to use her trump card.
"Besides, I'm not like her, a clueless old woman. If you just nod, we'll get our marriage certificate this afternoon and have the wedding tomorrow. After that, whatever you want, I'll do for you, okay?"
The moment she said those words, Dark Bell felt herself burst into flames.
She's going all in!
She has been single since birth for almost 28 years, but she has never met a boy who so perfectly matches her aesthetic.
Clean and aloof, with an extraordinary and refined aura, she was like a celestial being who had accidentally descended to the mortal world under the bright moonlight; to look at her for even a moment would feel like a desecration.
But she just wanted to defile him!
If I let him go today, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat or sleep properly in the future.
I would wake up in the middle of the night from a nightmare and feel so regretful that I would slap myself hard several times.
Looking at the undisguised, burning gaze in the eyes of the pretty young girl in front of him, which seemed to want to devour him whole, Huo Yuhao's reaction was unexpected by Dark Bell.
On the way here, he had already maintained the Martial Soul Fusion state with Dai Yun'er, and now a slightly playful smile appeared on his lips.
What you're saying does sound very tempting. However, I'd like to present it in a different way.
"Another form?"
Before Dark Bell could even ponder the deeper meaning of those words, a strange chill crept into her heart.
In an instant, all other colors and sounds in the world faded away, and all that remained before his eyes seemed to be the white-haired boy's hand slowly reaching out to him.
The next second, everything went black, and she completely lost consciousness.
……
"ah--"
After an unknown amount of time, when her consciousness returned, Dark Bell suddenly sat up from the soft bed, instinctively hugging her chest with both hands, and let out a shrill scream.
She just couldn't understand it, even though she herself possessed the spiritual power level of the Spirit Realm.
Moreover, unlike Dark Blood Eyes, whose spiritual power was forcibly enhanced by the Blood Sea Soul Refining Secret Technique, she could barely be considered a powerful figure in the entire Douluo Continent.
As a result, he was so easily swayed by beauty that he suffered such a huge setback, without even the slightest power to resist.
She looked around in a panic and found herself in an unfamiliar luxury hotel room.
Without time to think further, Dark Bell immediately began frantically checking her body, fearing that something might have illegally invaded her body while she was unconscious.
Just then, the door to the room was pushed open, and the face of the man with dark, blood-red eyes, which didn't show much expression, appeared in the doorway.
Looking at the chaotic, dark bell on the bed, she let out an undisguised cold laugh.
"Stop making those ridiculous gestures. Do you really think your master would be interested in your pitifully thin figure? Don't flatter yourself."
These insulting words caused Dark Bell to freeze instantly.
But then, feeling the new restrictions in her spiritual sea, Dark Bell's face paled instantly.
He abruptly looked up, glaring at the dark, blood-red eyes that entered, and burst into a tirade:
"You bastard, it's one thing to be controlled by others, but you even have to drag me down with you. Dark Blood Eyes, you deserve to die!"
She truly never expected that Dark Blood Eyes, this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, as a high-ranking member of the Holy Spirit Cult, could be so two-faced and become someone else's mole.
Faced with Dark Bell's angry curses, Dark Blood Eyes merely snorted coldly and looked down at her.
"Save your energy and stop talking nonsense. Get yourself together and come with me to pay our respects to our master."
As he continued, a rare hint of pleasure appeared on the perpetually icy face of Dark Blood Eyes.
He leaned down, brought his ear close to Dark Bell's, and chuckled maliciously, "What? Weren't you just now really into pretty boys like Master?"
She even wished she could marry him right then and there. Now the opportunity has come; to become your master's dog is the greatest honor you could ever have.”
Yes, that seems to make sense.
The moment the thought crossed her mind, Dark Bell shook her head violently, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, banishing the terrible idea from her mind.
wrong!
Can what I'm thinking be the same as what's happening now?
Damn it, it must be that restriction in my mental sea that's affecting my judgment!
Even though I have some knowledge of the Way of the Soul, why can't I understand the structure of this restriction at all?
Could it be that the opponent's martial soul is really that special?
At this moment, Dark Bell felt both fear and resentment.
In the end, she could only reluctantly get out of bed with a sad face, and with an extremely uneasy heart, follow the dark, blood-eyed man out of the room.
Upon entering the living room of the suite, the sight that greeted her made her pause slightly.
The white-haired boy who had single-handedly created her current tragic situation was sitting calmly at the dining table, elegantly holding a cup of tea and slowly sipping it.
Beside him sat a blonde girl he had never seen before.
The girl was lying on a table piled high with food, a roasted chicken leg in her left hand and a piece of cream cake in her right, her cheeks bulging, engaged in a battle with no opponent.
During those two and a half months of seasickness, Dai Yun'er could neither eat nor sleep.
In addition, it was, after all, just a cargo ship primarily for transporting goods, not a luxury cruise ship, so the variety and freshness of the ingredients in the ship's kitchen were ultimately limited.
This also meant that Dai Yun'er, who had never experienced much hardship, almost starved to death on the cargo ship.
Now that she could finally eat proper food, even though it didn't taste as good as Huo Yuhao's cooking, Dai Yun'er, who had been starving for more than two months, was overwhelmed with happiness, and her eyes sparkled with satisfaction.
"Cough cough cough..."
Dai Yun'er, who was waging a fierce battle with her food, choked because she ate too fast. Her face turned bright red and she coughed violently.
Seeing this, Huo Yuhao, who was sitting next to her, skillfully patted her back gently and handed her a glass of warm water to her lips.
"Eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you."
Seeing this heartwarming scene before him, Dark Bell felt extremely confused.
In her original assumption, this seemingly handsome white-haired boy was just an old monster who had lived for countless years in disguise.
After all, someone who can knock themselves unconscious without anyone noticing must possess unfathomable strength.
Previously, she had even speculated that the other party was using some kind of evil martial soul power to secretly contract beautiful girls like her and build their own harem.
Those dark, blood-red eyes that always wore a sour expression may have already become the sheath of the other's sword.
But what she saw now seemed to be completely different from what she had imagined.
Seeing the boy's gentle and considerate actions and the happy expression on the blonde girl's face, a ridiculous thought even popped into Dark Bell's mind.
Perhaps he is actually a good person?
The moment the thought arose, it was immediately extinguished by the Dark Bell.
It must be that damned mental constraint in my head affecting my judgment, making me develop feelings for him that I shouldn't have.
How could a good person use such a domineering way to control others?
Just as Dark Bell was lost in thought, Dark Blood Eyes, who had emerged first, stepped forward and bowed respectfully, saying:
"Master, Dark Bell has awakened. Is there anything else you wish to instruct us on?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao continued to gently pat Dai Yun'er's back with one hand to help her catch her breath, while his other hand casually made a gesture in mid-air.
A cloud of gray energy flowed and gathered silently, and in an instant, a sheepskin scroll exuding an eerie aura appeared out of thin air and slowly floated in front of the Dark Bell.
"Don't worry, I'm not some kind of demon."
Huo Yuhao's voice was calm, and his gaze never left Dai Yun'er, but his words made Dark Bell freeze.
"According to Dark Blood Eyes, because of your special status, although you are one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Holy Spirit Cult, you have not actually been tainted by much evil. Strictly speaking, you cannot be considered an evil soul master."
This contract is merely a foundation to ensure my trust in you; all you need to do is stick it on your forehead.
At this point, Huo Yuhao finally turned his head, his cold eyes falling on the dark bell.
"Of course, you can choose not to sign. In that case, I'll have to find another way that you might not like."
Looking at the handsome face in front of her that showed little emotion, Dark Bell's body trembled slightly uncontrollably.
She simply couldn't understand how a mouth at 37 degrees Celsius could utter such cold and piercing words.
And you still say you're not a demon?
The evil aura emanating from this guy is so intense it's almost impossible to conceal.
Especially the scroll in her hand, which exuded an ominous aura and was covered with strange characters that she couldn't understand at all.
It gave her a strong premonition that once she signed this contract, she would probably be completely ruined for the rest of her life.
Was she, a stunningly beautiful young woman in the prime of her life, destined to become the other party's sword sheath without even knowing why?
In her dazed state, Dark Bell even experienced hallucinations.
It seemed as if a huge, eerie, blood-red eye could be seen slowly opening behind the white-haired boy, with countless twisted tentacles extending from around the eye and waving wildly.
That scene was obviously very improper.
"I'll sign! I'll sign!"
Startled by the terrifying illusion, even the sound of the dark bells trembled with tears.
