Chapter 229 Fire Dance Throws Himself into My Arms
Fire Dance was blown back to the edge of the arena by the powerful energy shockwave. Her body was extremely weak at the moment, but her strong will drove her to immediately turn over with difficulty and then crawl forward without regard for anything else.
Her heart was filled with regret, and she kept blaming herself: Why did she have to be so stubborn? Why was she so willful? Why couldn't she just admit defeat?
Can Yu Tianyun, who has already consumed most of his soul power, really withstand such a powerful energy fluctuation?
Huo Wu felt a wave of fear wash over her, and she was extremely annoyed by her previous willful behavior.
If he had admitted defeat sooner, none of this would have happened, and Yu Tianyun wouldn't have faced such danger.
Now that she has calmed down, she fully understands that Yu Tianyun has actually been giving in to her all along.
Yu Tianyun clearly had the ability to eliminate her from the beginning, but he didn't.
Although Yu Tianyun spoke arrogantly, his actions were actually quite subtle, consistently holding back. Even at the very last moment, he had a real opportunity to use Huo Wushuang to blackmail her and easily win, but he chose to give it up.
Huo Wu knew that Yu Tianyun must have done this out of consideration for her and the reputation of the entire Blazing Fire Academy.
She gritted her teeth and dragged her exhausted body forward with difficulty. Her heart was filled with anxiety and worry; at that moment, she no longer cared about her weakness and disheveled state.
If something really happens to Yu Tianyun, she will never forgive herself.
Huo Wu secretly vowed in her heart that if Yu Tianyun could be safe and sound, she would never be so willful and headstrong again.
Just then, she vaguely felt the blinding white light in front of her suddenly dim, and then a pair of warm and strong hands grasped her slender arms and gently helped her up.
Huo Wu's body suddenly began to tremble violently and uncontrollably. She choked back tears, trying to say something, but due to her overwhelming emotions, her throat felt as if something was blocking it, and she couldn't utter a single word.
As time went by, the energy fluctuations gradually subsided, and the intense white light that filled the entire Great Soul Arena gradually dissipated.
Huo Wu couldn't wait to open her eyes, but the lingering white light was still very dazzling, so she could only squint and try to see the shadow in front of her.
Finally, the white light completely dissipated, and she could finally see everything clearly.
Standing before her was Yu Tianyun, but he was no longer as impeccably dressed as before; instead, he appeared somewhat disheveled.
His shirt was completely torn, with only some frayed rags hanging down at the waist, revealing his well-defined, full muscles. His hair was no longer the same as before, but had turned back to its original black color and was slightly messy. Even his pants were not spared, with a large hole in his left knee.
However, his eyes still revealed that familiar determination and confidence, as if none of these difficulties could defeat him.
Seeing Yu Tianyun standing unharmed in front of her, Huo Wu became even more excited. Suddenly, like a swallow darting into its mother's arms, she threw herself into Yu Tianyun's embrace and hugged him tightly.
Huo Wu's tears flowed like a burst dam, instantly soaking Yu Tianyun's chest.
"I'm sorry, Yu Tianyun, it's all my fault. I was too willful and almost hurt you," Huo Wu said, sobbing uncontrollably. Every word was filled with deep guilt and self-reproach. Her voice trembled violently, almost breaking, which made people feel sorry for her.
Yu Tianyun was slightly taken aback. Feeling the soft and delicate touch of the two mounds in his arms, his body stiffened slightly, and he didn't know what to do with his hands for a moment.
"What's going on? Wasn't she so arrogant just now? Why is she throwing herself at me now? What should I do?" Yu Tianyun was completely bewildered and couldn't understand the situation at all.
The fragrant scent of the young girl wafted into his nostrils, its unique aroma seemingly possessing an invisible magic. Coupled with the astonishing sensation of her ramming into him, even the seasoned Yu Tianyun couldn't help but feel a surge of desire, his body slightly hardening as a sign of respect.
"Calm down! Calm down! Grandpa and the others are watching, and there are so many spectators here. Besides, I'm a gentleman! I absolutely cannot do anything immoral."
Yu Tianyun silently warned himself, then bit his tongue hard, and Da Tou instantly regained control of his body.
Then, he quickly withdrew his somewhat unruly hands, gently patted Huo Wu's back, and said awkwardly, "Um... Huo Wu, look, I'm perfectly fine. Besides, this is a competition, even if something unexpected happens, it's normal, you don't need to blame yourself."
Huo Wu shook her head repeatedly in his arms, her hair swaying gently with her movements. "No, no, if you hadn't always been so accommodating to me, things wouldn't have turned out this way. Why are you so good to me?"
Huo Wu was a little puzzled. Logically speaking, Yu Tianyun had no reason to do this. However, being clever and quick-witted since childhood, she quickly came up with two very reasonable reasons.
Either Yu Tianyun was lusting after her body, or Yu Tianyun was a kind-hearted person who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and Huo Wu naturally hoped it was the first reason.
She looked at Yu Tianyun expectantly, hoping to hear the answer she wanted to hear.
Yu Tianyun was stunned again, completely bewildered. Why was she being treated so well?
He felt that Huo Wu had misunderstood him. In fact, he simply wanted to hide his strength. If he didn't hide his strength, he only needed to release a trace of his aura to press everyone from Blazing Fire Academy to the ground and make them unable to move.
Of course, while concealing his strength, he also really didn't want to hurt the people of Blazing Fire Academy. After all, they had no grudges against each other, so why should they have to fight to the death?
However, Yu Tianyun wouldn't so bluntly reveal his true thoughts. With his experience, he immediately understood the delicate state Huo Wu was in.
He nodded slightly, a warm smile appearing on his face, and said in a magnetic voice close to Huo Wu's ear, "If I were to hurt Huo Wu, wouldn't the audience drown me in their spit?"
Although Yu Tianyun gave this answer in a slightly joking tone, the obvious subtext was exactly what Huo Wu was hoping for.
Then, Yu Tianyun added seriously, "Moreover, we are both Soul Masters. In a competition, we must pursue victory while also respecting our opponents. I can sense your desire for victory, so I don't want you to have any regrets!"
Huo Wu listened to his words and found them very reasonable. She couldn't help but raise her head, her big, watery eyes filled with gratitude and admiration.
She said earnestly, "Yu Tianyun, I will definitely work harder in my cultivation from now on and I won't be so willful anymore. I also want to be like you and become a Soul Master with both strength and a broad mind."
Yu Tianyun nodded. "Okay, I believe you. Let's work hard together then."
But what he really wanted to say was that you are quite capable and have a very broad mind; any more than that would be incongruous.
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Wu buried her head in his chest again, her fair and jade-like hands roaming over his broad and firm chest, as if checking his injuries.
Although Yu Tianyun said he was not injured, Huo Wu clearly did not believe him. She was very confident in her ultimate move and knew its terrifying power. She was afraid that Yu Tianyun was just pretending to be calm and did not want to worry her.
She was half right. Yu Tianyun was indeed enduring, but not the pain. Instead, he was enduring the madness of his little brother, fearing that it might lose control and rebel.
Fortunately, Yu Tianyun's rationality prevailed. He hardened his heart and used the powerful control of his Qi and Blood Soul Core to drain most of the Qi and Blood from his little brother, leaving him only able to roar helplessly to the sky before finally lowering his head in despair.
Seeing Huo Wu still clinging tightly to him without any sign of loosening her grip, Yu Tianyun felt it would be inappropriate not to respond.
So, he slowly stretched out his arms and hugged Huo Wu tightly...
"I only hugged her, it should be fine. My father-in-law is so magnanimous, he will definitely understand me. Besides, it was the girl who took the initiative. I was just trying to comfort Huo Wu who was feeling down." Yu Tianyun muttered to himself as he held Huo Wu's soft body tightly.
In the VIP section, Ning Fengzhi's face turned green, and he was so angry that he almost overturned the table.
It's one thing for Yu Tianyun to be a little unrestrained in private, but to actually hug and kiss a girl he'd only known for less than five minutes in public like this—where would he put his old face?
Especially now that the fact that Yu Tianyun and Ning Rongrong are engaged is almost common knowledge, his unbridled behavior is practically tantamount to committing adultery.
Ning Fengzhi took a few deep breaths. He wanted to have Sword Douluo teach Yu Tianyun a lesson after the competition, but after thinking about it, he decided against it. After all, it was still uncertain who would teach whom a lesson.
Moreover, he wouldn't let small things cause him to lose big. As the leader of a powerful force, he was very rational, and personal feelings were not important to him at all.
As long as Yu Tianyun remains his son-in-law, he will tolerate any immoral or scandalous behavior he may do.
Of course, all of this depends on the benefits brought by Yu Tianyun's extraordinary talent, powerful strength, and strong background!
If Yu Tianyun didn't have these advantages, Ning Fengzhi would never have tolerated him so much, and he wouldn't have chosen the marriage alliance in the first place.
Chen Xin, who was standing beside him, was also unhappy and wished he could rush back immediately to fight Gu Rong to vent his anger.
His most beloved granddaughter had become someone else's concubine, and to make matters worse, that brat was flirting with other women right in front of him. He was absolutely furious.
But he had no choice. Having witnessed Yu Tianyun's complete annihilation of Tang Hao, he knew that he was no match for him and would not make Yu Tianyun truly fear him.
As for the idea of the grandson repaying the debt, he had considered it, but Yu Yuanzhen was level 98, and he couldn't beat him.
Chen Xin felt helpless, experiencing for the first time the feeling of being willing but powerless.
He secretly vowed that he would work hard to cultivate in the future, to be a strong support for his little princess, and never let her be bullied by Yu Tianyun again.
However, his idea was destined to fail. Putting aside everything else, Yu Tianyun was younger than him and had much more room for improvement. Moreover, more importantly, Ning Rongrong seemed to enjoy being bullied by Yu Tianyun, and with her small frame, she couldn't wait for more sisters to share the burden.
If Chen Xin knew all this, he would probably be very disappointed in Chen Xin!
Dugu Bo shared the same thought as Chen Xin, but the idea only flashed through Dugu Bo's mind for a moment before disappearing.
He knew his own limitations; the gap between him and Yu Tianyun was simply too great. Moreover, he understood that his granddaughter didn't care about such things; as long as she could be by Yu Tianyun's side, she would be content.
Thinking of this, Dugu Bo sighed with relief and silently said to himself, "As long as Yanyan is happy, that's all that matters."
These words, however, carried a hint of bitterness and helplessness.
Of these old men, only Yu Yuanzhen was secretly overjoyed. He had just been wondering what tricks Yu Tianyun would use to woo Huo Wu, but unexpectedly, it had already happened in the blink of an eye.
It happened so fast that he couldn't believe it. He stared wide-eyed for a full minute, stunned.
If it weren't for the presence of several in-laws, Yu Yuanzhen would have burst out laughing, expressing his joy. At this moment, he could only silently praise in his heart, "No one knows a grandson better than his father; he truly is my son, just like me when I was young."
At this moment, the audience members in the stands opened their eyes one after another, and when they saw this scene, they were stunned at first, and then a lively discussion immediately broke out.
Because the light was too strong, these ordinary people or a few low-level soul masters did not see the final result. They only heard a loud noise. But as soon as they opened their eyes, they saw the two people who should have been opponents embracing each other tightly, like lovers. How could they not be surprised and curious?
"Hey, what's going on between Huo Wu and Yu Tianyun? Does anyone know? Their relationship seems complicated!" a spectator couldn't help but mutter.
"Hehe, maybe these two developed feelings for each other during the match," another spectator joked.
However, while some of them were gossiping and making jokes, others felt a pang of jealousy and unease.
"My goddess, how could she have been snatched away by this pretty boy? So what if she's a Soul Emperor! So what if she's good-looking!" a middle-aged man said bitterly, as if he had been cuckolded.
"Hey? Wake up. Being a Soul Emperor is great, being good-looking is great. If you're not capable, don't be sour." A fairy heard this and, although she was also sour, she couldn't help but retort.
"..." The middle-aged man, who looked grief-stricken, had a face as ugly as if he had eaten shit, but he was speechless and didn't know how to retort.
Moreover, there are quite a few people like him, the most serious of whom is Feng Xiaotian, the captain of Shenfeng Academy.
