The Unrivaled Tang Sect Volume 26, Chapter 260.1

Mutual Feelings, Love at First Sight, Love at Second Sight, Destined in Three Lives, Eternal Love!

Huo Yuhao couldn't forget about everything that had happened that day, and how beautiful she was. She's the Clear Sky Sect's little princess, but she still chose me without any regrets or complaints...

He could never forget the nights that he had shared with her, every night when they stayed together beneath the same roof, the same window, and every night when they cultivated together…

Huo Yuhao was absolutely certain that w.a.n.g Dong'er would give everything she had for him, too. He could feel the love she had for him, she had become a lot gentler than before, and her love for him drove this personality change. Everything fell into his eyes.

He could clearly remember that w.a.n.g Dong'er had shyly told him when she gave him the pouch that her first uncle had told her she could only give the pouch to him when she was completely sure that he was the one. This meant she was giving her entire life to him.

“Dong'er…” Tears trickled down Huo Yuhao's cheeks. His eyes were full of the memories he had of her.

I miss you so much, Dong'er.

w.a.n.g Qiu'er looked identical to w.a.n.g Dong'er, and she was standing right next to him. However, he felt as if Dong'er was so far away from him, as if she were on the other side of the world. He really wanted to take her into his embrace at this moment.

w.a.n.g Qiu'er was stunned as she watched Huo Yuhao's tears roll down his face. This wasn't the first time she had seen him cry, but for some reason, she felt her heart grow cold this time. It's obvious that his tears aren't flowing for me… is he thinking about her?

Is she really that good? But we look exactly the same! Why? Why is this happening?

Huo Yuhao suppressed his emotions and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes as he softly pulled away w.a.n.g Qiu'er's arm that was holding on to his own.

“You're right, my chances of survival aren't great.” Huo Yuhao began to speak, his expression once again calm and composed.

w.a.n.g Qiu'er was delighted. She was about to say something before Huo Yuhao turned towards the Delicate Silk Immortal and said, “You You, will I be able to leave this place in peace if I decide not to try?”

You You said, “Yes. As long as you don't touch anything else in this place, and you're not afraid of the intense poisons outside, then you can leave as and when you want to.” There was no question that she had a lot of self-confidence in her speech. It was still hard to say exactly how many hidden dangers there were inside this valley. At the very least, You You was confident enough that she wasn't afraid of Huo Yuhao bringing outsiders into the place. Perhaps there were more hundred-thousand year plant-type soul beasts in this place then everywhere else on the Continent combined.

Huo Yuhao nodded and told her, “Thank you.”

He turned around and stared at w.a.n.g Qiu'er. w.a.n.g Qiu'er returned his gaze with a complicated expression in her eyes and said, “Let's go.”

“Alright.” Huo Yuhao nodded his head gently, but his eyes were still welling up with tears.

w.a.n.g Qiu'er took the initiative to grab his hand. Even though the Delicate Silk Immortal had said she wouldn't stop them from leaving, there were still many other dangers in this place, and it was still a lot safer for them to maintain their martial soul fusion.

However, just when w.a.n.g Qiu'er began to infuse her soul power into Huo Yuhao, she realized that her soul power didn't connect with his.

“You…” w.a.n.g Qiu'er glanced at him in surprise. Huo Yuhao's wrist suddenly flipped around at this moment, and he used the Tang Sect's Arresting Technique to accurately pinch w.a.n.g Qiu'er's carpal vein as he injected soul power into her. w.a.n.g Qiu'er immediately felt as if half her body had become extremely numb.

Huo Yuhao then raised his right palm and sliced down onto her neck. w.a.n.g Qiu'er's pretty eyes were fixed on Huo Yuhao with a look of incredulity, but her body still crumpled downwards like a rag doll. Not in her wildest dreams did she expect Huo Yuhao to attack her!

Huo Yuhao pulled gently and supported her waist with his right hand as he carefully placed her flat on the ground.

Huo Yuhao was very apologetic as he said, “I'm sorry, Qiu'er. I know you won't let me make this choice if I don't do this to you. Yes, you're right; it's very likely that I will fail this test. However, if I don't even have the courage to try it, I will be letting Dong'er down.”

His expression became extremely relaxed when he uttered the last few words. Huo Yuhao gazed into the horizon and said, “We are bound to do crazy things from time to time in our lives. Dong'er, my only hope is that I can see you again.”

“Whew… you're such an idiot!” Skydream's voice rang out in Huo Yuhao's mind.

Huo Yuhao was momentarily stunned, and he frowned faintly as he replied, “Are you going to stop me too, brother Skydream? I…”

Skydream said plainly, “That's enough, you don't have to say anything more. Just do it. Why would I stop you? If the Ice Empress were the one that was injured, I wouldn't cower away, either! Furthermore, you're underestimating how strong your body is. Don't forget that your body has absorbed Life Gold before, and you possess Ultimate Ice as well. You went through so much suffering when you fused with the Ice Empress back then, and the circ.u.mstances were so difficult, but you did it anyway. Your willpower is far superior to that of the average person, and I don't believe you will die just from eating some herb.”

Huo Yuhao said, “What if it's poison?”

Skydream grunted and said, “It'll be perfect if it's poison. Do you know the Delicate Silk Immortal's ident.i.ty? She's so high up in the hierarchy that she can be considered above the other immortal-level herbs. I think most of the other plant-type soul beasts within the valley will listen to her command. I am also a soul beast, and I can feel that she doesn't harbor any hostility against you. What's more important is that the Delicate Silk Immortal possesses formidable resistance against poison. The reason why there aren't any other plants growing around her is because she is the natural counter to all toxins. With her beside you, all you have to do is breathe vigorously even if you've been poisoned. It would be quite hard to die from it even if you wanted to.”

Huo Yuhao's eyes grew a little slack. “Why didn't you tell me that earlier? If I could have explained to that to her, then I wouldn't have had to knock her unconscious. When she wakes up, I…”

Skydream's tone was a little arrogant as he said, “I just woke up.”

“Alright, you win.”

He had been so sure he was going to die, but that negative thought was immediately converted into absolute confidence after he listened to Skydream's consolations. Yes! How can an herb kill me? I don't believe that.

Huo Yuhao's thoughts stopped here as he stepped before the Delicate Silk Immortal. He lowered his voice and said, “Please give me that herb. I am willing to undergo this a.s.sessment.”

“Hehe! That's great! You're so courageous. Let me think, what should I give you?” The Delicate Silk Immortal was clearly quite ecstatic, and her enormous pink blossom was tossing from side to side.

Huo Yuhao immediately became despondent. What's happening? Has she not decided upon the herb way before this? Why is she making an impromptu decision? This Delicate Silk Immortal is so eccentric…!

The Delicate Silk Immortal seemed to detect the changes in his emotions. She spoke with a scolding voice, “Don't worry. I've been alive for far too long, so it's normal that my memory isn't fantastic. Let me take a look at you.”

A purple beam of light floated out from her stamen as she spoke and landed on Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao maintained his vigilance, but the Delicate Silk Immortal's ability arrived with no warning, and he couldn't detect anything with his Spiritual Detection, either. This meant the Delicate Silk Immortal was stronger than he was in every possible way, and if he wanted to stop it, he could only meet force with force, because he had no chance of avoiding it.

Fortunately, the purple beam didn't contain any hostility at all. The Delicate Silk Immortal withdrew it after a while and muttered to herself, “So, that's the case. Let me give you this.”

Another purple beam shot out from her stamen as she spoke. This purple beam fired into the distance, and reached one hundred meters across the valley before it landed in a patch of vegetation.

The purple beam paused momentarily before it was withdrawn. Huo Yuhao had powerful eyes, and he could instantly tell that there was a single plant at the other end of it now.

This herb was entirely una.s.suming, and its entire body was bluish-green. What was strange was that the plant had three snowy-white leaves in the center, and there were several drops of water in the middle of these leaves, as if they were the remnants of the morning's dew.

Huo Yuhao knew nothing about this herb. He had no idea what it was, and the herb was quickly brought before him under the Delicate Silk Immortal's guidance.

It was impossible for Huo Yuhao not to be nervous. This herb could be mortally dangerous to him, after all! Huo Yuhao's eyes focused as he stared at the herb. “You You, how should I consume it?”

The Delicate Silk Immortal answered, “First, let me ask you a question. You've come to the Icefire Yin Yang Well today, and no matter who told you about it, you must have a reason for being here. What are you doing here?”

Huo Yuhao lowered his voice and said, “I'm here in search of a magical herb, called the Yearning Heartbroken Gra.s.s. I need it to save someone's life.”

The Delicate Silk Immortal said, “Yes, that must be it. I knew n.o.body would attempt to go through all those poison clouds for no reason at all. Lift your head and open your mouth.”

Huo Yuhao took a deep breath. It was impossible for him not to be hesitant about something that concerned his life or death. However, the thought that Dong'er could collapse in front of him and there would be nothing he could do about it flashed across his mind, and whatever hesitation he had before vanished into thin air. He gradually raised his head and opened his mouth, his eyes even more determined now.

The Delicate Silk Immortal controlled the herb and slowly brought it before Huo Yuhao. She tilted the plant, and the transparent dewdrop-like water droplets on its leaves immediately flowed into Huo Yuhao's mouth.

Huo Yuhao felt a sweet taste flow down his throat, and a crisp aroma that refreshed his heart and mind immediately filled every corner of his body.

Is this poisonous? Why does it taste so good? Huo Yuhao was still thinking to himself when he realized to his surprise that the herb was rapidly wilting away after the dewdrop-like liquid flowed into his mouth. The plant became a pile of dust in no time, and all it left behind were a few seed-like pods.

Purple light flashed, and these tiny seeds flew far away into the distance. n.o.body knew what the Delicate Silk Immortal had in mind for them.

There's no reaction at all? Huo Yuhao immediately channeled and circulated his soul power after ingesting those droplets as he protected his internal organs.
