Chapter 412 The waters here are too deep; let Mom handle it.
If you could only read one fantasy novel in your life, it would probably be "Douluo: Rebirth of Yuhao, Their Eyes Are Strange".
After fusing with the Demon Emperor's origin and the Stone of Destruction, Huo Yuhao's soul power cultivation naturally broke through to the level of a Title Douluo.
Looking back on my rebirth, it has only been a little over three years.
Compared to his previous life, where he endured countless hardships and faced numerous life-or-death trials to reach the Title Douluo realm, Huo Yuhao felt a pang of emotion as he achieved it so easily now.
However, upon closer reflection, all of this is actually quite normal.
The help he has received along the way is equivalent to throwing an ordinary person with no foundation directly into the realm of gods.
Under the slow transformation by the divine energy of the divine realm, even ordinary people can be reborn and eventually become priests with divine power.
The Stone of Destruction originates from the deepest source of the universe. According to the God of Destruction, it is even powerful enough to enable weak races that are compatible with its attributes to rise to prominence after absorbing it.
Not to mention that this origin of the universe is a core power that only certain god-kings can condense.
On the other side, the Demon Emperor dragged Lan Fuzi along for a distance before stopping.
Lan Fuzi looked at her mother and always felt that there was something inexplicably awkward about her mother's walking posture.
But she didn't think much of it, and simply asked in a low voice, "Mom, why do you suddenly look so much younger?"
Faced with his daughter's probing gaze, the Demon Emperor, who had finally managed to calm down from the intense aftermath of the fight, suddenly became unsteady in his eyes again, not daring to look directly into his daughter's eyes, and even his ears turned a suspicious red.
She couldn't very well tell her daughter openly that she initially only wanted to help her benefactor alleviate the negative emotions caused by the destruction of his divine status, but ended up having no other choice...
It wasn't entirely out of necessity; in short, it was a natural progression to do those embarrassing things that made people blush.
Because of his extraordinary physique, this work lasted for three days and three nights in a daze.
Until Huo Yuhao completed the condensation of his authority, with the help of the feedback essence, her cultivation also broke through to the god level in one fell swoop.
After finally triggering the tribulation of becoming a god, the two were forced to forcibly stop their shameless entanglement.
Later, when a soul contract was formed in the undead demiplane, the transformation of the soul itself was the process of the birth of a completely new life form.
During the process of re-condensing his soul and bloodline, the Demon Emperor also harbored a bit of selfishness, deliberately taking advantage of this extremely rare opportunity to directly transform his form back into the most vibrant girl's appearance.
The formation of a simple soul contract naturally does not require an hour.
If it weren't for the fact that her reconstructed, immature body was simply too vulnerable to attack, and to avoid causing Lan Fuzi, who was waiting outside, excessive worry.
It seems likely that the two of them will engage in another exhilarating three-day, three-night battle in the undead demiplane.
Thinking of this, the Demon Emperor still felt his legs tremble slightly, and could only cough awkwardly, forcing a calm reply:
"The function of the Soul Contract is to deeply refine the bloodline of the Soul Beast and one's own soul, and then re-condense them. So it's normal that you feel your mother looks younger."
Lan Fuzi tilted her head slightly, her brows furrowing.
But she didn't really understand the soul system, and how could a mother bear to deceive her own daughter?
Thinking about it this way, although she still felt a little strange, Lan Fuzi didn't intend to dwell on the matter any longer. Instead, with a complex expression, she asked hesitantly:
"Mom, what have you been doing with Uncle Huo these past few days...?"
At this point, Lan Fuzi bit her lower lip hard, her tone becoming unusually conflicted and contradictory.
There was a glimmer of hope for a certain possibility, mixed with a touch of trepidation at facing reality. Finally, I steeled myself and asked bluntly:
"Mom, just tell me directly, did you actually turn Uncle Huo into my Dad Huo?"
Hearing such blunt words, the Demon Emperor couldn't help but roll his eyes at his daughter.
Her initial plan was indeed to suppress her own feelings, wholeheartedly pave the way for Lan Fuzi, and try every means to create opportunities for her silly girl to get close to him.
Those embarrassing things that were hard to talk about were initially just actions she had to take to repay her benefactor for saving her life and to help Huo Yuhao suppress the negative emotions that were on the verge of spiraling out of control due to absorbing destructive energy.
While it's undeniable that she genuinely wanted to personally experience that so-called ultimate delicacy.
But her original intention was that after having tasted it to her heart's content, she would put aside her desires and wholeheartedly consider her daughter's lifelong happiness, and bring the two of them together.
But after she experienced it firsthand, she realized just how unrealistic her previous ideas were.
Lan Fuzi has been pampered and protected by her since she was a child, and she has never experienced any hardship.
In this situation, how could their own daughter possibly meet her benefactor's needs?
Therefore, in order to prevent her Buddhist disciple from suffering, she, as the mother, still had to grit her teeth and continue to endure this suffering in place of her daughter!
Thinking of this, the Demon Emperor forced a serious expression onto his face and said earnestly:
"Buddha's child, tell me honestly, have you been spending too much time with that bad-behaved little shark behind your mother's back lately? Otherwise, why would such outrageous ideas keep popping into your little head?"
It seems that Mom still has to confiscate all those forbidden books that you secretly took from that little shark!
"I don't want you to be led astray by those messy things. If it really comes to that, I'll be so heartbroken."
Upon hearing this, Lan Fuzi's beautiful eyes widened instantly.
This was the first time in her life she had seen her own mother, who could lie so blatantly without batting an eye. Her lips twitched violently a few times.
Anyone with eyes can clearly see how her mother used to practically throw herself at Huo Yuhao.
Now, things have gotten even worse. They've turned around and are blaming me for overthinking and having misinterpreted things.
My own mother was the one who went astray!
Seeing Lan Fuzi's expression suddenly turn somewhat indignant, the Demon Emperor felt a little uneasy and quickly tried to make amends, saying, "Don't think nonsense. Mother and benefactor have been doing serious matters concerning life and death inside."
To help his mother break through the bottleneck to godhood, his benefactor spared no effort and expended an immeasurable amount of energy.
If your benefactor were to discover that you harbor such thoughts about his relationship with your mother, how would he view you in the future?
At this point, the Demon Emperor paused deliberately, observing Lan Fuzi's reaction.
Seeing that the anger in the little girl's eyes had subsided slightly, she quickly added, "Let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. I have been working hard to think about and plan for your future."
"Can't your mother see that you, my little girl, have already developed feelings for your benefactor?"
Hearing her mother suddenly change the subject and bring it directly to her, Lan Fuzi's face, which had been somewhat angry, instantly turned bright red with embarrassment.
She hurriedly covered her burning cheeks, and mumbled in a low voice, "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? Did I make it that obvious? Did even Yuhao figure out what I was thinking?"
"I'm not sure if my benefactor noticed. But my mother had already made it clear to him directly that she wanted to entrust you to his care."
And when my benefactor heard this, he clearly replied that he had always greatly admired me.
The Demon Emperor continued to half-truthfully deceive her, her earnestness almost making even herself believe it.
At this moment, Lan Fuzi felt as if steam was about to rise from the top of her head. She could not control her shyness and her body seemed to emit a buzzing sound similar to that of a whale exhaling water. She was obviously extremely embarrassed.
She never imagined that she had actually wronged her mother; it turned out that her mother was secretly paving the way for her lifelong happiness.
What made her heart flutter even more was that Huo Yuhao actually said he admired her.
So, does that mean I really have a very high chance of getting together with Yuhao?
The Demon Emperor looked at his silly girl, who had been completely charmed by his words and was now utterly bewildered, and couldn't help but smile slightly.
Then, as if she had thought of something, she let out a long sigh and said with a hint of sadness, "The reason why Mom acted so intimately with our benefactor in front of you was partly out of gratitude."
More than anything, it's because my mother has been so lonely all these years, and she's unconsciously come to see her benefactor as a child who needs her love and care.
At this point, the Demon Emperor glanced at Lan Fuzi again.
Strictly speaking, her saying such things wasn't entirely deceiving Lan Fuzi.
After all, she and Huo Yuhao had already played this kind of role-playing countless times before, just to add some fun.
Yup!
Perhaps the special feelings her mother showed towards Huo Yuhao were not the romantic love she had previously imagined, but simply a way of expressing affection for her family.
As if to verify Lan Fuzi's conjecture, the Demon Emperor pressed on while the iron was hot, saying, "So, Fuzi."
My mother has now become the spirit of my benefactor. Being able to stay by his side for so long is the greatest blessing for me, and I am completely content.
But in order to see you find your own happiness, Mom will still try to create some alone time for you and your benefactor whenever possible. After all, there's an old saying in the human world: a son-in-law is like half a son.
"If you, my son, can truly be with your benefactor in the future, I, your mother, will be truly happy for you both."
Upon hearing this, Lan Fuzi became even more excited and hugged the Demon Emperor tightly, choking back tears as she said:
"Mom, you really are the best to me. It's my fault, I shouldn't have doubted your intentions so easily."
The Demon Emperor, who was being held tightly, gently stroked Lan Fuzi's back, but a sly smile once again appeared on his lips.
Her claim that she wanted to create opportunities for Lan Fuzi was nothing more than a lie to keep this silly girl in check.
My dear son, don't blame your mother for being heartless. After all, on the road to happiness, everyone relies on their own abilities, and there's no such thing as first come, first served. It's really not that your mother intentionally wanted to steal your sweetheart.
Besides, how could you possibly endure that kind of hardship?
The waters here are too deep; let Mom handle it.
Although Huo Yuhao hadn't heard what the mother and daughter were saying, his eyes twitched slightly at the sight of their affectionate interaction. He then broke the somewhat eerie, warm atmosphere by saying:
"Let's leave Devil Island first. The commotion we caused here was too great, and the energy storm has already dissipated. Perhaps the Northern Navy Legion received some orders from their superiors, because I've already spotted quite a few military soul-guided aircraft within my mental detection range."
Although there is the backing of Chen Xinjie, the Federal Deputy Speaker, there is no need to worry about anything.
However, Huo Yuhao does not want to deal with other legions of the military at present, so as to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.
Upon hearing this, the Demon Emperor decisively released his daughter, his expression instantly becoming solemn.
"My benefactor, after we leave, what should we do with Devil Island? Are we just going to let those guys from the Northern Navy Legion land on the island and investigate at will?"
If you feel it's inconvenient for your benefactor to come forward, then I can do it for you. I guarantee I'll scare those humans away.
In the Demon Emperor's view, this Devil Island was clearly the private property left to Huo Yuhao by the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life.
Although Huo Yuhao had absorbed the Stone of Destruction and completed the condensation of its authority, the ancient tree of life growing in the center of the valley still existed.
Now that the destructive energy is no longer interfering, Devil Island will probably soon transform into a treasure land full of rich life energy thanks to the nourishment from the ancient tree of life.
Under such circumstances, how could the Demon Emperor possibly allow other unrelated humans to freely explore, or even possibly seize it for themselves?
Huo Yuhao shook his head after hearing this and said gently, "There's no need to make such a fuss to drive them away."
When the God of Destruction left this place earlier, he must have anticipated the commotion that might follow, and therefore reinforced the barrier surrounding Devil Island.
With the current reconnaissance capabilities of the Northern Navy, they won't be able to detect anything.
At this point, Huo Yuhao's mental energy swept over the lush ancient tree in the valley again, his tone carrying a hint of solemnity.
"The Goddess of Life also told me that if anything happens to the golden ancient tree on Seagod Island, this place will temporarily take its place and become the new life core of the entire Douluo plane."
However, both of them were bound by their agreement with the God of Asura and could not reveal much to me, nor could they explain the so-called accident clearly.
