"Hmm."
In the wilderness of the early morning, inside a large tent, on a large bed, An Zhen slowly opened his eyes. His fingers rubbed his sleepy eyes, and his arm subconsciously reached out to the side, finding it empty, but the bedding retained a faint milky fragrance.
Waking up naturally, feeling comfortable.
Most of the time before, he was refreshing his status, so waking up naturally was rare.
However, where was his body pillow?
An Zhen walked out of the tent and saw a cute blue-haired girl busily standing in front of a pile of cooking utensils on the grass outside, cooking porridge, cutting vegetables, and stir-frying dishes. Her movements were a bit clumsy, but she had the air of a housewife.
"An Zhen Gege!"
Delicately brushing a strand of hair from the corner of her eye, the loli wearing an apron carried the food to a small table, pulled An Zhen to sit down, and placed the soup spoon and chopsticks.
A serving of porridge and four dishes.
The aroma and color were excellent, making it very appetizing just by looking at it.
Virtuous wife and loving mother, Huo Yu Tong.
"Great."
The combination of Spirit Eyes and Huo Yu Tong's cooking skills was perfect.
"It's good as long as An Zhen Gege likes it."
Huo Yu Tong happily watched the boy she loved eat the food she made.
Today, Huo Yu Tong was full of energy. Her happy appearance was like that of a normal eleven or twelve-year-old girl. Yesterday's hatred could no longer trap the girl. Today, Huo Yu Tong would move towards a brighter future.
After the meal, An Zhen used the Virtual World to clean the pots and bowls.
"Alright."
An Zhen packed up the things from the night before.
Now that An Zhen was in a state of disappearance, he definitely couldn't appear in public, so he could only make do with spending the night in the forest in the wild.
"An Zhen Gege, what are we going to do next?"
Huo Yu Tong asked curiously. She didn't even know where she was now.
Her blue, shoulder-length hair was tied into two cute buns. The knee-length dark blue dress had a cute little bow tied around the waist. A sky-blue coat was draped over the girl's body, and a pair of white socks and small feet were wearing a pair of white ankle boots.
Rather than going out for training, the girl's attire at this moment was more like that of a young lady going out for a picnic.
"We're going to carry out the third step of the Yu Tong Nurturing Plan."
The first step was to nourish the body with medicinal cuisine and to initially establish confidence as a quasi-Third Level Soul Guide.
The second step was to avenge her grievances and dispel the pressure and hostility in her heart.
The third step was to improve her aptitude, complete her Second Spirit, and become a true favored daughter of the heavens.
"The third step?"
Huo Yu Tong felt a little shy about this name.
"To complete Yu Tong's Second Spirit."
An Zhen looked at the girl, "Tianmeng Iceworm added a Second Spirit slot with ice attribute for you, which needs to be filled with the soul of an ice-attribute Spirit Beast."
"Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion!"
Tianmeng Iceworm's somewhat anxious soul voice sounded.
"I originally had the confidence to trap her and convince her. Now, with the help of that little gray ball, it's enough to deal with other possible risks!"
"No, no, no, Tianmeng Iceworm."
An Zhen gently shook his head, a meaningful smile on his face, "In my plan, Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion will become my Soul Spirit, helping me break through this level forty bottleneck."
"?"
Tianmeng Iceworm was stunned for a moment.
A somewhat exasperated voice sounded, "You're going to snatch Yu Tong's opportunity!"
"Scumbag!"
"Have you forgotten what you said before!"
An Zhen rejected Tianmeng Iceworm's soul voice, manually muting it.
"Really, the emperor isn't worried, but the eunuch is."
Of course, An Zhen knew that Tianmeng Iceworm was like this because of Ice Empress.
But you're just a licking worm secretly in love with her.
Heh, nonsense.
"Yu Tong."
An Zhen looked at his own girl.
"An Zhen Gege." Huo Yu Tong ignored the various conspiracy theories in her mind. Her bright eyes were full of the boy in front of her, "I believe you."
"Moreover, An Zhen Gege is so powerful. After getting the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, he will definitely become even stronger."
There was no trace of negative emotions such as jealousy or unwillingness in the girl's pure voice. She was sincerely happy for An Zhen.
So good.
An Zhen sighed, having such a girl who wholeheartedly loved him.
"Ice Jade Scorpion, a Spirit Beast with Pole Ice attribute. Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, a ferocious beast approaching four hundred thousand years. Strictly speaking, she is more worthy of being called the Ice Ancestor of Douluo Continent than that Snow Empress."
An Zhen slowly said, "But, Tianmeng Iceworm, this is just your narrow understanding."
Tianmeng Iceworm: ?
"Regardless of whether you have lived for a million years or not, the existence of Douluo Continent has been around for who knows how many millions of years."
"Tianmeng Iceworm, this World is bigger than you think."
An Zhen lifted the mute on the soul voice.
"What do you mean?"
"The meaning is that I want to get a more powerful Spirit for my wife."
"Heh heh, can you get Snow Empress?"
Snow Empress…
An Zhen imagined what Huo Yu Tong would look like with the Ice Sky Snow Woman Spirit.
She would definitely be very cute.
Ice and snow little princess?
"If Yu Tong wants it, I can really get it in half a year."
Tianmeng Iceworm: ?
"Aren't you afraid of hurting your tongue by talking big!"
Tianmeng Iceworm had heard of the Snow Empress's reputation. Such an existence, even if it fell in a heavenly tribulation, would never be willing to bow its head to a human.
"Heh, that's because you don't know what the Snow Empress is like now."
Calculating the time, Snow Empress should have tried and failed to use Yin and Yang to complement her Soul Core, and her origin was damaged.
"What?"
Tianmeng Iceworm suddenly felt that this guy seemed to be telling the truth.
After all, this guy was too mysterious. Whether it was her past, her plan, the Shrek's affairs, or even the past of that little gray ball that didn't belong to this World, he knew all of these.
Could it be that Snow Empress really encountered some change?
"Guess~"
"I'll guess your grandpa!"
Tianmeng Iceworm: Riddle men should die!
An Zhen: It's so fun to be a riddle man!
"Then what do you plan to make Yu Tong's Second Spirit?"
Regarding the Ice Empress matter, Tianmeng Iceworm was very unwilling, but she wasn't a child. In any case, the current situation was no longer under her control, and even Huo Yu Tong valued An Zhen's opinion more.
Love?
Becoming a god?
Tianmeng Iceworm felt that her own life was more important.
Years of slumber, being hunted down by natural enemies, crossing the ocean, being caught and absorbed by that group of bastards in Star Dou Great Forest, breaking through a million years and escaping, everything had become a desperate gamble.
What's more, those little gray balls were really powerful.
Tianmeng Iceworm gave up.
"Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion is an alternative."
"As for the first choice."
A brilliant smile appeared on An Zhen's face.
"An existence no weaker than the Ice God!"
Huo Yu Tong:!
An Zhen Gege…
Tears of emotion flickered in the girl's eyes.
Tianmeng Iceworm:!!!!!!
"You're crazy!"
The million-year-old Tianmeng Iceworm still had some vision.
"Are you planning to force that little gray ball?"
Tianmeng Iceworm couldn't figure out why this guy had the confidence to convince a god-level existence to become Huo Yu Tong's Spirit.
Force it?
That little gray ball was indeed a divine sense.
But wasn't this behavior too risky?
Yu Tong couldn't withstand such a torment.
"Tianmeng Iceworm, compared to Ice Empress, you care more about your own life, right."
"..."
Tianmeng Iceworm didn't answer.
"The strong have their own dignity."
"But, there are always some things in this World that are more important to them than their own dignity and their own lives."
An Zhen's face was full of composure as if he had everything under control. From that bright and sunny smile, Tianmeng Iceworm felt great terror.
Knowing everything about you.
This was the most terrifying enemy.
When a creature lives in this World, it will always be connected to one thing, one person. As long as there are emotions, there will be weaknesses, which may even be things that they are more unwilling to accept than their own death.
For example, that White Tiger Duke's wife, who finally kowtowed and humiliated herself to repent.
Was she sincerely regretful?
No.
She did it for her son, abandoning her dignity for her son.
It's a pity, I forgot to tell her that her youngest son had been crippled, and the rest of his life would be worse than death.
Holding the girl in his arms, An Zhen preferred hugging Huo Yu Tong like this than standing with Huo Yu Tong. The girl wasn't heavy, and she was soft and fragrant. An Zhen buried his head in Huo Yu Tong's neck, and some strands of hair with the girl's fragrance lingered in his nose.
"Teacher, please find the rich Ice and Fire energy in this forest."
In the Virtual World.
Huo Yu Tong, An Zhen, and Tianmeng Iceworm, the two people and one worm sat together.
A golden figure tried to pounce over, but the golden chains directly bound it. Tortoise shell binding, the large pajamas could not hide the fleshy plumpness at this moment, and Huo Yu Tong was amazed by the huge arrogance.
An over-nourished meat worm.
It looked very appetizing.
"Hey, hey, hey, you have to tell us where we are now!"
Tianmeng Iceworm shouted.
"Sunset Forest."
Being able to open up Undead Demiplane, Electrolux's attainments in the power of space were not low, not to mention the power he had now that was only one step away from becoming a god. What others needed days to travel was simple for Electrolux.
"?"
Tianmeng Iceworm was puzzled.
I don't know if it was puzzled as to why the destination was here, or if it was puzzled that An Zhen actually answered her question this time.
An Zhen stood up, directly reaching out and fondling the soft cheeks of the golden-haired otaku, sighing, "Really good."
"Hmm?"
Tianmeng Iceworm's face changed, and she warned with a serious face, "Don't think about it, my heart only has Bingbing."
Seeming to notice her current situation, Tianmeng Iceworm added, "Even if you get my body, you won't get my heart."
"I'm not horny enough to have feelings for a big meat worm."
An Zhen let go, "I'm just curious, that person didn't directly eat you."
Or perhaps Silver Dragon King wanted to raise Tianmeng Iceworm to a million years before eating it?
"What?"
Eat her?
"You really were sent by that group of bastards from Star Dou Great Forest?!"
"If their master is willing to be my maid, I might join their camp." An Zhen said with a smile that was not a smile. With Silver Dragon King's personality, this was impossible.
"Ew~"
The golden-haired otaku's face showed a look of contempt, "Let Di Tian be your maid…"
"Pa!"
An Zhen's hand heavily landed on that round, upturned buttocks, causing it to tremble.
"I'm talking about Di Tian's master!"
"Di Tian's master?"
Tianmeng Iceworm was puzzled, "Wait, what do you mean, is there a beast above Di Tian?"
An Zhen ignored Tianmeng Iceworm, because the action had already begun.
Poisonous miasma, Biphosphorus Seven Absolutes Flower…
All kinds of poisonous substances that were fatal to others were not even toys in front of Electrolux.
"Yu Tong."
An Zhen released Huo Yu Tong's consciousness.
"We've arrived."
"Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."
