As Huo Yuhao's words fell, Xu Tianran's breathing hitched. After his guess was confirmed, what followed was the hope that could allow him to be reborn.
The body could be restored; this was what Xu Tianran had been most eager to hear for so many years.
Previously, because of his physical condition, during the period when the Sun Moon Empire's emperor was seriously ill, when he was vying for the throne with other princes, whenever the others used this matter to attack him, Xu Tianran couldn't find any reason to refute.
It was precisely because of this that when the Holy Spirit Cult people approached him, Xu Tianran had the idea of cooperating with the Holy Spirit Cult, using their power to sweep away all enemies and successfully ascend to the position of the Sun Moon Empire's emperor.
After the Holy Spirit Cult lost its usefulness, he would turn around and destroy this force built by evil soul masters!
However, the Life Essence Gold that Xu Tianzhen had taken out back then not only allowed his father to recover from his serious injuries but also allowed Xu Tianran to see hope in life.
Especially after learning that Xu Tianzhen was likely able to obtain that piece of Life Essence Gold because of Huo Yuhao, the young man who carried great fortune, Xu Tianran developed the idea of establishing a good relationship with Huo Yuhao.
No matter what good things he got, he would have someone send a portion to Huo Yuhao at the first opportunity, occasionally inviting Huo Yuhao to banquets, chatting, and discussing cultivation and soul tool knowledge.
It seemed his efforts hadn't been in vain. To be precise, his efforts had been repaid many times over!
Because in Xu Tianran's eyes, this piece of Life Essence Gold, which could restore his body to its original state, was more important than all the treasures on the entire continent combined!
Xu Tianran, seated in his wheelchair, didn't immediately accept it. Instead, he slightly raised his head, looking at Huo Yuhao and softly asking, "Yuhao, are you sure you want to give me this piece of Life Essence Gold? It could heal my father's serious injuries and help the Great Offering break through the shackles that have plagued him for many years, successfully advancing to a Level 95 Super Douluo. If you kept it for yourself, your already powerful talent would definitely become even more terrifying!"
"This way, you will surely become a true powerhouse in the shortest amount of time! You should be very clear about this, right?"
Hearing this, even Xiao Hongchen's expression changed. He repeatedly signaled Huo Yuhao, wanting him to reconsider.
Compared to Xu Tianran, the Crown Prince, Xiao Hongchen was obviously more concerned about his good friend, Huo Yuhao.
However, Huo Yuhao didn't hesitate at all. He waved his hand and said with a smile, "Your Highness is underestimating me. I don't need this kind of thing to become a powerhouse in the shortest amount of time! This piece of Life Essence Gold should be given to you, who needs it more."
Huo Yuhao knew that Xu Tianran's situation wasn't as good as it seemed.
Even though the Sun Moon Empire's Emperor had confirmed Xu Tianran's status as heir, he couldn't become Emperor until the rumors about his… ahem, functional limitations, were cleared up.
No one wanted a person who was essentially useless in that regard to be the next Emperor of the Sun Moon Empire.
Xu Tianran met Huo Yuhao's gaze, feeling the sincerity in Huo Yuhao's eyes. It moved him deeply. Genuine emotion welled up, and his eyes involuntarily reddened slightly. But the next second, after Xu Tianran blinked, he returned to normal.
Xu Tianran took the Life Essence Gold from Huo Yuhao's hand. He took a deep breath, looked at Huo Yuhao, and said in a low voice, "Yuhao, I won't let you give this up for nothing! I'll never forget what you've done today! And I've told you before, don't call me Crown Prince. I'm a few years older than you, just call me Brother Tianran!"
Huo Yuhao readily agreed, no longer addressing him formally as Crown Prince.
To better absorb the Life Essence Gold, Xu Tianran didn't stay. He made an agreement with Huo Yuhao and Xiao Hongchen; once his body was recovered, he would hold a grand banquet, and they absolutely had to attend. Then, the Titled Douluo pushed his wheelchair and left the laboratory.
After Xu Tianran left, Xiao Hongchen grabbed Huo Yuhao's shoulders and shook him violently.
"I say, do you know what you gave away? That piece of Life Essence Gold back then allowed your teacher to breakthrough to Super Douluo! What you gave this time is exactly the same! Wouldn't it be better to keep it for yourself? Why did you give it to the Crown Prince?"
Huo Yuhao listened to Xiao Hongchen's concerned words and turned around to comfort him.
"Don't worry, Xiao. Didn't I say it? I don't need this thing at all. Using that piece of Life Essence Gold to help Brother Tianran recover will also firmly secure his position as Crown Prince. The Sun Moon Empire will no longer be troubled by issues surrounding the heir."
"This way, everyone will have a common goal: to unite the continent under the Sun Moon Empire! Don't you think that's good?"
Xiao Hongchen released Huo Yuhao's shoulders, pouting slightly. Yuhao is still too kind, after all.
"Good, yes, but something's not right! You actually call him Brother Tianran?"
Huo Yuhao shrugged slightly, speaking casually.
"It's just a title, does it matter what I call him?"
Before Xiao Hongchen could respond, Huo Yuhao continued, "Right, Xiao, I might not have much time to be in the lab with you anymore. I have some ideas I want to test."
Huo Yuhao could clearly see the instant Xiao Hongchen's eyes became filled with resentment upon hearing his words, as if he had just committed some act of betrayal.
Unfortunately, Huo Yuhao didn't have much of a choice. When it came to researching Battle Armor, Gu Yue Na, a god-level powerhouse who had become an eighth-rank Soul Engineer in a very short time, was clearly more suitable than Xiao Hongchen, a sixth-rank Soul Engineer!
While Xiao Hongchen was complaining about Huo Yuhao, on the other side, Gu Yue Na, Xue Di, and Meng Hongchen, were looking at Bai Xiuxiu, Lan Fozi, and Ning Tian, and began their wifely protection actions.
After the classes ended, Gu Yue Na directly approached the three women, saying she had something to discuss with them. Bai Xiuxiu, Lan Fozi, and Ning Tian all agreed without hesitation.
Originally, Wu Feng thought Gu Yue Na had ill intentions. To be precise, Wu Feng thought Gu Yue Na was too beautiful and might pose a threat to herself, and wanted to come along.
But Ning Tian decisively rejected her. Before Wu Feng could say anything else, Gu Yue Na just glanced at her, causing Wu Feng to not dare to resist in the slightest, and she obediently returned to her dormitory.
After a thorough examination, looking at the three women in front of her, Gu Yue Na spoke first.
"Although I'm surprised and not particularly welcoming of your arrival, since you're here, you must follow the rules. The most important rule, of course, is that Huo Yuhao mustn't suspect anything unusual!"
"If the existence of the diary copy is exposed, I guarantee you'll find out the consequences!"
After Gu Yue Na spoke, and before the three women could respond, Xue Di said with a smile.
"What I want to say is, please try not to cause trouble for Brother. Don't, under any circumstances, make Brother feel awkward because of you."
