Only one set is acceptable?
That sounds rather ominous!
As Zhuge Lan narrated, Huo Yuhao's expression also turned peculiar.
It really was only one set.
He looked at Beibei with a hint of "pity," making the latter feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Yuhao, stop looking at me like that!"
"What's actually going on?"
"Just tell me directly, I can definitely handle it!"
Now, everyone's interest was piqued, especially that little girl Xiao Xiao, who took a few steps closer to Huo Yuhao, securing the best spot for watching the drama.
Ahem!
Huo Yuhao gave a tactical cough, sounding troubled—
"There are methods, and quite a few of them."
"I'll tell you all of them,and you can choose for yourself."
"The first one: mine or Wang Dong's blood has the effect of countering all poisons. Sister Lexuan's blood would be even more effective. If Sister Xiaoya drinks a sufficient amount before condensing the Ultimate Poison, it can expel the toxins. However, condensing the Ultimate Poison would then be impossible, and her soul power would also be diminished."
Before the words even fully landed, Beibei and Tang Ya shook their heads in unison.
Completely unacceptable!
Wasn't the reason Tang Ya ended up like this precisely to become stronger?
To weaken her now would be utterly pointless.
"Tell us the next one, Little Yuhao. Skip any that would reduce strength." Tang Ya said firmly, "I am definitely going to condense this Ultimate Poison. I've truly had enough of living without strength!"
Beibei sighed and nodded in agreement.
"Right, Yuhao, are there any other methods besides that one?"
"Yes, Brother Beibei, there are." Huo Yuhao pursed his lips, "You can store the toxins in the soul bone of the Snow Swan Kiss. Normal daily contact won't have much effect, but for... deeper exchanges... you might need to tough it out a bit, and it would significantly reduce the... duration."
Beibei: Σ(っQД)っ
Tang Ya: (.ω.)
Deeper exchanges! Tough it out! Reduced duration!
Separately, these phrases weren't a big deal, but combined together, they were so blush-inducing!
Xiao Xiao and the others understood instantly, all turning "pitying" looks towards Beibei.
A mighty Assault System soul master, forced to become a "quick man".
How tragic!
Just then, someone, completely disregarding the atmosphere, delved deeper into the topic.
"Yuhao, will this affect future offspring?" Mu En asked with concern.
"Ancestor!" Beibei said exasperatedly, "That's far in the future! Why are you in such a hurry?"
"This old man only has just over nine years left to live. How much longer do you want to drag it out?" Mu En glared, "Before, you said Xiao Ya had strong self-esteem, to wait a bit longer, wait a bit longer. Surely now is the time, right?"
Beibei looked awkwardly at Tang Ya.
The latter buried her head, her face completely red, but she didn't refute it.
This made Beibei's heart leap with joy, and he shot Mu En a "nice assist" look.
Then he gazed fervently at Huo Yuhao, as if asking, "Well?"
"Um... it's hard to say." Huo Yuhao said cautiously—
"Brother Beibei, you will condense Ultimate Light in the future, and Sister Xiaoya will have Ultimate Poison. These two are like fire and water; once they meet within a body, the reaction will be intense."
"It's basically impossible to have offspring."
Beibei and Tang Ya's faces fell.
"It's alright, Xiaoya!" Beibei comforted her,
"What does it matter if we don't have children? We can adopt one."
Tang Ya remained silent, her head bowed as she weighed something.
"Ahem... It's not like I said it can't be solved," Huo Yuhao said slowly.
Beibei and Tang Ya instantly looked up, their eyes fixed fiercely on Huo Yuhao.
Who told you to pause for breath like that!
"Hehe, it's actually quite simple." Huo Yuhao said with a sidelong smile—
"Ultimate Light and Ultimate Poison cannot coexist. But as long as life is conceived before both of you condense your respective ultimate attributes, then the impact isn't significant."
"Moreover, after Sister Xiaoya condenses the Ultimate Poison later, it might even benefit the little one."
"However, before the little one is born, Brother Beibei, you'll have to hold back. Especially after you condense Ultimate Light, you mustn't get too close to Sister Xiaoya."
Having such private matters laid out on the table, Tang Ya's face instantly turned crimson.
Beibei took the opportunity to pull her close, shooting Huo Yuhao a grateful look.
Good brother!
You must sit at the main table at our wedding banquet!
But Huo Yuhao seemed to misunderstand something, giving Beibei a "leave it to me" look.
"This Ice Fire Two Eyes Yin Yang Well has miraculous effects for nurturing life. It's best for plant types, and slightly less so for humans."
"Luckily, Brother Beibei, you have the Indestructible Diamond Body, and Sister Xiaoya's Ultimate Poison has just started to condense. We can strike while the iron is hot and give it a try."
"Teacher, why don't we head to the Extreme North first, and leave Brother Beibei and Sister Xiaoya here to... put in some effort?"
Tang Ya buried her head even deeper.
Beibei also blushed under the teasing from Xu Sanshi and the others.
"Haha! Good!" Mu En laughed heartily, "Everyone, come with this old man first! The Extreme North will definitely amaze you all!"
With a wave of his hand.
Soul power enveloped everyone, transforming into a soaring dragon that shot straight up into the clouds.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to add—
"If it's too fast, just increase the frequency! Only then can pregnancy be ensured. Don't worry about the gestation period; the Golden Tree can accelerate childbirth!"
Now even Beibei couldn't take it, steam practically rising from his head.
Tang Ya, however, seeing that everyone had left, though her face was still red, boldly raised her hand and lifted Beibei's chin.
"What, now that everyone's gone, you get shy?"
"Do I need to teach you what comes next?"
Beibei, a pure and untainted Assault System soul master, could he stand this kind of "taunt"?
He immediately scooped Tang Ya up into his arms, waved his hand to set down the Mu En brand reclining chair, and began his exploration into the mysteries of life.
The two of them acted as if no one else was around.
They completely forgot that this wasn't an "uninhabited area."
The unselected Qiluo Tulip watched the live broadcast, its small head stuffed full of new knowledge.
Its yearning to go to the human world grew even stronger!
"I must study this knowledge well, so I can teach it all to my future host someday!"
__
Extreme North, Core Region.
In just over half a month, a massive palace a thousand meters high had already been erected. It appeared as if carved whole from a single piece, seamless and naturally formed.
At the pinnacle of the Ice God Palace stood an even more majestic ice sculpture.
Its form bore a ninety percent resemblance to Huo Yuhao, but the facial features lacked detail.
A god is formless, residing in the heart.
Leaving ample room for imagination within one's mind.
The Titan Snow Demon and Ice Jade Scorpion clans guarded the perimeter of the Ice God Palace, their sharp eyes fixed on the soul beasts coming to pay homage.
Any beast that failed to restrain its wild nature was executed on the spot.
They maintained order in the procession, directing the soul beasts to line up and worship the ice sculpture bearing a ninety percent resemblance to Huo Yuhao.
Zhang Lexuan and the others were utterly astonished!
Were these soul beasts?!
Or were the soul beasts of the Extreme North different from others, inherently more civilized?
Whoosh—
A cyan afterimage streaked over. Song Yunzhi hovered before the group, nodding slightly to Mu En.
"You've arrived just in time. Otherwise, I would have had to go back and find you."
