Douluo Continent: The Evil-Eyed Dragon God, Many Women, Many Blessings

Chapter 397 Help
Huo Yuhao looked at Liya. Her face was pale and her brows were furrowed. She seemed to be suffering some kind of torment even in her sleep. Compared with her sister, her life force was much weaker.

Looking at her frail little daughter, tears flowed uncontrollably from the eyes of the sea princess and her daughter, turning into golden and silver pearls that floated in the seawater, emitting a faint light.

Princess Hai turned around and said to Huo Yuhao with a sorrowful expression, "Young man from Shrek Academy, she is my youngest daughter. Please see if there is any way you can help her."

Huo Yuhao nodded slightly and strode over to the Cold Jade Bed.

The real world unfolded, like a vast mental net enveloping the mermaid princess.

Having studied necromancy under Elder Yi for so long, Huo Yuhao's mastery of soul magic was already quite high. Therefore, after observing for only a short while, he identified the mermaid princess's problem and frowned slightly.

"Her Highness's condition is not optimistic, and I'm afraid I don't have the ability to cure her."

Upon hearing this, Princess Hai and her daughter's expressions changed simultaneously, their grief deepening.

Although they had anticipated this outcome, they still held onto a sliver of hope, but to their surprise, it still turned out the same way in the end.

Because they are also skilled in mental abilities, they had already conducted various examinations on the little princess and naturally knew where her problem lay.

Huo Yuhao said, "It seems that Her Highness's soul has been severely damaged. According to my investigation, her soul is incomplete. It seems that a part of it was forcibly removed, which has damaged her spiritual origin and caused her spiritual sea and life force to be constantly lost."

"Although a treasure like the Jade Bed can slow down the rate of her loss, if the problem with her soul cannot be completely resolved, over time, even if Her Highness's spiritual strength is strong enough, the final result will probably still be the same."

Huo Yuhao sighed. Judging from the chaos and fear in the mermaid princess's spiritual essence, it was likely that her soul power had been forcibly extracted by some evil soul master, which was the same as in the original story.

However, the extent of her soul damage does not seem to be as severe as in the original story; at least she can hold on for a long time.

The sea princess, suppressing her grief, asked, "Is there really no way at all?"

Huo Yuhao thought for a moment and said, "Senior Princess Hai, could you tell me how this princess became like this?"

The Sea Princess said painfully, "A few days ago, my youngest daughter got angry with me over a small matter and secretly ran off to play in the human world by herself, where she encountered that evil spirit master."

"That evil psychic deceived my youngest daughter with sweet words, imprisoned her, tortured her soul with evil means, and even tried to forcibly extract her soul. Fortunately, that despicable evil psychic did not know that the royal family of our Sea Princess clan has telepathy and can communicate with each other over long distances."

“My youngest daughter sent me a message on the very day she was imprisoned. I immediately led my people to rescue her, but unfortunately, I was too late. By the time we arrived, the evil spirit master had already begun extracting her soul. When he discovered us, he immediately stopped the soul-extraction ritual and escaped in a bizarre way.”

"But after I rescued my daughter, she fell into a coma. After examination, we discovered that a portion of her soul had been extracted by that despicable evil spirit master. That's why, in a fit of anger, I issued the sea ban."

Huo Yuhao nodded to himself; the sea princess's account and his guesses were basically consistent.

After a moment of silence, Huo Yuhao sighed softly, "Senior Princess Hai, Her Highness's soul is incomplete. If we could find that missing part of her soul, perhaps I could still try to help her. But now, I am truly powerless. However, I can ask my teacher to take a look. He is highly accomplished in the areas of soul and spiritual power, and perhaps he can find a solution." Princess Hai's eyes lit up when she heard there was still a chance.

She could clearly sense Huo Yuhao's cultivation level, and given his age, he was undoubtedly one of the top geniuses in the human world. His teacher, it was easy to imagine, was also a top-tier figure among humans.

He couldn't solve it, but perhaps his teacher could?

"That's wonderful! May I ask where your teacher is? I'd like to go with you and ask him for help," the Sea Princess said quickly.

Huo Yuhao shook his head slightly and said solemnly, "My teacher is not in a very good condition right now due to some accidents. If you are willing, I can ask him to come out now. However, his current form of existence is rather special, so I hope you will not misunderstand. In addition, I hope you can swear that you will not reveal my teacher's existence to anyone, otherwise, it may attract the covetousness of evil soul masters."

The Sea Princess and her daughter looked at each other, puzzled. Her teacher wasn't some rare treasure, so why would an evil spirit master covet him?

Seeing the seriousness and sincerity on Huo Yuhao's face, the Sea Princess nodded decisively and promised, "I promise you, I will never reveal what I saw today to anyone."

Huo Yuhao nodded slightly, and with a gentle wave of his right hand, a gray six-pointed star array was quickly outlined in the air and then imprinted on the ground.

A gray light suddenly rose from the six-pointed star array, and the Sea Princess and her daughter subconsciously took a few steps back, a hint of vigilance flashing in their eyes.

Huo Yuhao didn't mind. He knew it was normal for the Sea Princess and her daughter to be wary of him, a stranger, after what they had gone through. After all, he didn't have Tang San, the Sea God from the original story, to back him up.

He smiled slightly at the Sea Princess and her daughter and said, "I'll go and fetch my teacher. I'll be back in a little while. Please wait a moment."

After saying that, he calmly walked into the gray light, and his figure disappeared instantly.

The sea princess was startled and quickly used her powerful mental energy to scan her surroundings, even the entire underwater city, but found nothing.

The human boy seemed to have vanished completely, as if he had traveled through space, leaving no trace whatsoever.

Lijing asked in surprise, "Mother, could he be lying to us?"

The sea princess was silent for a moment, then gently shook her head: "I don't know either, but he doesn't seem like an evil person to me. When the sea monsters attacked him because of the sea ban, he didn't kill a single one. Now, we can only trust him."

Lijing also fell silent; she knew her mother was right.

Looking at her younger sister, who was sleeping soundly with a furrowed brow on the cold jade bed, a few more glistening silver pearls welled up in her eyes.
