Chapter 372 This is definitely not a date; don't forget the most basic respect for hierarchy.
Chapter 372 This is definitely not a date; don't forget the most basic respect for hierarchy.
Although the barriers between races meant that Gu Yue was destined to be unable to fully open her heart and confide in Leng Yaozhu.
However, without harming the interests of the soul beasts, Gu Yue was unwilling to hesitate to lend a helping hand in areas where he could.
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's expression shifted slightly, then he nodded gently and said earnestly:
"Don't worry about that. I already had a plan to clean up the Spirit Pagoda, which is now completely rotten. And after that, there will indeed be a new agent to manage the Spirit Pagoda and maintain order."
As your teacher, the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo, in terms of both strength and character, is undoubtedly the best candidate that can be accepted by both humans and you soul beasts.
Hearing the blond boy in front of him nod in agreement, Gu Yue breathed a sigh of relief.
She knew very well that her teacher had been working tirelessly to revive the declining Tianfeng family.
Although fragments of the divine realm are incredibly precious, their practical uses are rather limited for human soul masters.
The Heavenly Forging Metal, which can play a significant role in any cutting-edge soul guidance field and has strategic importance, is obviously superior in terms of practicality and can better solve Leng Yaozhu's urgent problem.
Thinking of this, Gu Yue suddenly remembered another important purpose of her trip.
A slight blush rose to her pretty face, and she gently bit her lower lip, saying with a touch of shyness:
"There's one more thing, which is about the Cupid Festival that Xiaoyan mentioned before. I'd like to formally invite you to attend."
Huo Yuhao frowned slightly, and replied with some confusion:
"Didn't Xiaoyan tell you? I've already accepted her invitation, and everyone will be going together. Of course, I won't miss such a lively event."
After all, Dai Yun'er and Wu Siduo had specifically come over to mention this to her before.
In order not to spoil the girls' fun, Huo Yuhao naturally had no reason to refuse, so he simply agreed to everything.
No, that's not what I meant.
Gu Yue shook her head, as if she had made up her mind, and said seriously:
"What I mean is, after the celebration is over, I'd like to have a private time with you, just the two of us."
As soon as she finished speaking, as if afraid that Huo Yuhao might misunderstand, the black-haired girl quickly added, but the confidence in her voice was clearly lacking:
"But don't overthink it, this is definitely not what humans call a date!"
This is simply a gift I, as the sovereign of the Soul Beasts, prepared to express my gratitude for everything you've done for the Soul Beast race during this time.
After saying this, Gu Yue didn't dare to look at Huo Yuhao's expression at that moment. She got up and left without giving Huo Yuhao a chance to talk to her for a few more minutes.
Watching Gu Yue's slightly flustered departure, Huo Yuhao touched the tip of his nose with a hint of helplessness.
For some reason, he had a vague premonition.
This trip to Qiankun Wenqing Valley may not go as smoothly as expected, and some unexpected things may even happen.
……
After driving for a while longer, the Soul Guide Bus finally pulled into the dedicated parking lot of the town on the outskirts of Qiankun Asking Love Valley and came to a steady stop.
As soon as he got out of the car, Huo Yuhao keenly sensed the unusual nature of the surrounding environment.
Looking around, you can see a peculiar plant growing not only in the square around the parking lot, but also along the streets of the town in the distance.
It was a cedar tree with pinkish-white leaves and a pagoda-shaped crown, which was distributed in various corners in a strange and orderly manner.
Driven by curiosity, Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes, and a dazzling nine-colored halo flashed deep within them.
In an instant, the scene before my eyes changed abruptly.
Countless colorful streams of spiritual energy, imbued with the thoughts of all living beings, are being guided by the cedar trees as nodes, continuously converging into a river and rushing towards the true location of the Valley of Love and Destiny.
"Yuhao, it seems you've also noticed the unusual things about this place."
Gu Yue had already stood solemnly beside Huo Yuhao at some point, her gaze following the flow of those invisible mental forces, and said in a low voice.
Previously, although she knew more information about Qiankun Wenqing Valley than the outside world had, it was only pieced together from scattered fragments obtained from her teacher, Leng Yaozhu.
She knew that Qiankun Wenqing Valley had undergone significant changes and was no longer simply a place for divine examinations, but rather a special area disguised as a romantic paradise.
However, the sheer scale of the collective thoughts of all living beings continuously converging into the valley was completely beyond her expectations.
Ancient texts record that even at its most prosperous period, Poseidon Island only gathered a few thousand devout Sea Soul Masters. Compared to this, the scale of its psychic power was insignificant.
It is obvious that since Qiankun Wenqing Valley transformed into a romantic paradise that young soul masters from all over the continent flock to, the number of permanent residents and transient residents in this outer town alone is in the hundreds of thousands.
It is obvious that since Qiankun Wenqing Valley transformed into a romantic paradise that young soul masters from all over the continent flock to, the number of permanent residents and transient residents in this outer town alone is in the hundreds of thousands.
In addition, the special core array, which is carefully laid out throughout the town, absorbs and guides the mental energy unconsciously emitted by all living beings.
The total amount of immortal energy that can ultimately be converted will probably far exceed their initial expectations.
Huo Yuhao's solemn expression did not diminish at all, but he could only comfort him by saying, "Whether they are friend or foe is still unknown, but we can only be more vigilant about this."
The concealment of Biji and Ziji was personally arranged by Yali. As long as they do not fully utilize the power of their original bloodline within this valley, they should not be detected by the rules here.
As for you and me, we still need to be extremely vigilant and cautious for the foreseeable future. After the transaction is completed, if we discover anything amiss, we must leave immediately without hesitation.
It's no wonder Huo Yuhao is being so cautious right now.
Having ascended to the realm of gods, he understood the intricacies of the matter better than anyone else, and he also understood the fundamental difference between the Star Luo War God Palace and the Qiankun Asking Love Valley before him.
Even with the blessing of the divine soul, the Star Luo War God Temple's efficiency in absorbing and converting the mental power of the participants in the divine test is probably less than one ten-thousandth of the efficiency of the former central hub of the divine realm; it is more of a superficial utilization.
However, according to Huo Yuhao's rough estimate, the Qiankun Asking Love Valley has probably already reached one percent of its standard.
This only applies to the area surrounding Qiankun Wenqing Valley.
If its core area can maintain the same level of efficiency in converting mental energy into celestial energy, then they may need to reassess the current strength of the God of Love.
The difference between them should not be underestimated.
Just like Gu Yuena, even with the aid of the Life Gold, she spent hundreds of thousands of years in the Douluo Continent to recover from her injuries, but she could only barely recover to the level of a third-level god.
The Golden Dragon King, imprisoned in the forbidden land of the gods, was able to reach the level of a first-level god or even a half-step god-king in just nearly a thousand years of divine time, simply by relying on the immortal spiritual energy overflowing from outside the gods.
Gu Yue naturally understood the implications and nodded slightly in agreement.
Having endured hundreds of thousands of years deep in the Star Dou Great Forest to recover from her injuries, just to wait for an opportunity for revenge or revival, she understands even more what it means to bide one's time and conceal one's abilities.
Moreover, compared to Huo Yuhao, who was simply there to make a transaction, she was going to actually participate in the divine test of Qiankun Wenqing Valley, so she naturally needed to be more cautious than Huo Yuhao.
"Alright, everyone, stop looking around. Line up and follow me to your respective hotels for check-in. After that, you're free to do as you please and enjoy your short break."
From the line ahead came Nanali's deliberately serious shout.
Although Huo Yuhao's body has recovered, he is still under the aftereffects of the backlash from the power of creation. In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Ya Li needs to maintain this special fusion state of martial souls with him to nurture him.
Nanali, who had originally planned to take advantage of this holiday to develop a sweet love story with Huo Yuhao, had to temporarily take on the role of the team leader and become the nominal leader of the team.
After all, we can't expect those two ferocious beasts to do the chores of queuing, registration, and arranging food and lodging, can we?
Fortunately, during the two days that Huo Yuhao was unconscious, she and Zi Ji did quite a bit of work and ate their fill.
Standing at the very front of the line, Nanali was beaming with joy.
Even when she stood in the crowd, her height was about the same as Xu Xiaoyan next to her, and she didn't have the slightest sense of adult authority.
But when he walked, he was full of vigor and power, and his swaying gait clearly showed that he was extremely happy.
The square was bustling with people, and this handsome man and beautiful woman naturally attracted a lot of attention.
Xu Lizhi, who was resting on a bench at the edge of the square, immediately spotted a familiar group of figures in the crowd.
He stood up instinctively, somewhat excited, wanting to go forward and say hello.
But as soon as he took a step forward, a look of obvious confusion appeared on his face. He turned to look beside him and asked:
"Xie Xie, look, why is Vice Dean Nanali leading them in a completely different direction? That direction seems to be in a completely different area from the hotel where we checked in."
Xie Xie, who was engrossed in struggling with the snacks he had just bought, replied vaguely, "Oh, you probably don't know much about this."
Upon hearing this, Xu Lizhi's face turned pale instantly.
He naturally understood the hidden meaning in Xie Xie's words.
After all, he had mustered up his courage and pondered this for countless days and nights, wanting to take this opportunity to invite Ye Xinglan to participate in the Cupid's Celebration.
But why did things turn out this way?
Thinking about all the things and subtle changes that had happened to Ye Xinglan since the start of the semester, Xu Lizhi felt a strange sense of unease.
No, that can't be right.
Xu Lizhi shook his head frantically in his mind, trying to comfort himself.
Seeing that Xu Lizhi was standing there without responding, Xie Xie finally swallowed the food in his mouth, looked up and added, "But don't overthink it, Xiao Yan has already told me everything."
She said she was actually just pretending to follow along so she could sneak in and get some of the benefits of the Cupid's Festival for free.
Even if Teacher Lingbing is incredibly talented, it's impossible for him to be in relationships with so many girls at the same time, right? That would be far too exaggerated. Even if his body could handle it, it wouldn't have a good impact.
Hearing Xie Xie's explanation, Xu Lizhi breathed a long sigh of relief, as if a huge burden had been lifted from his body, and the fat on his face jiggled loosely.
No wonder when I saw Ye Xinglan from afar, I felt that her expression was a bit off, and she didn't seem very happy.
It seems that all the girls had an idea to participate, and Ye Xinglan was probably too embarrassed to refuse due to the group atmosphere, so she had no choice but to go along.
It's definitely not what I was just imagining.
After all, when Ye Xinglan was in the inner courtyard, she only had eyes for swordsmanship. She did nothing but cultivate. How could she be distracted by other messy things?
Seeing Xu Lizhi's expression change repeatedly, Xie Xie, without a care in the world, reached out and wrapped his arm around his neck, saying casually:
"Alright, stop looking. If girls can enjoy a festival of love, we guys can't be left behind."
This Cupid's Town isn't just for couples to enjoy life. I heard there are lots of other delicious food stalls in that direction. Let's hurry over to the next stall and grab them all!
Before Xu Lizhi could take another look, Xie Xie pulled him along, half-pushing him, and led him in another direction.
Meanwhile, the group following Nanali passed through several streets decorated with colorful ribbons and arrived at a building in the center of the town that had an elegant and grand appearance, resembling a hotel.
Upon entering, a pretty young receptionist in uniform was clearly already informed.
She immediately strode forward, walked straight to Huo Yuhao's side, bowed respectfully, and said in a gentle voice:
"Mr. Lingbing, Her Highness the Holy Maiden has been waiting for you for quite some time. If it is convenient for you now, please follow me."
Huo Yuhao nodded slightly, gave Nanali a few more brief instructions, and then followed the receptionist girl through the lobby, disappearing around the corner.
Watching Huo Yuhao's departing figure, Zi Ji leaned close to Gu Yue and asked telepathically, "My lord, should I follow him to secretly ensure the Lord's safety?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yue's eyes flashed with a thoughtful expression, then she gave a soft chuckle, her tone tinged with coldness:
"Ziji, don't think I didn't notice what you did in the carriage earlier. But since the Golden Dragon King didn't object at the time, I don't want to pursue your responsibility too much in this matter."
But you must always remember your place and not let momentary pleasure cloud your judgment of basic hierarchy.
