Douluo: Crossing the Yuhao Star Palace Master

Chapter 75 Another Possibility

Huo Yuhao and Zhu Lu were standing in front and behind each other, keeping a distance of about half a meter.

When they reached the depths of the woods and could no longer see Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, they both stopped at the same time.

Huo Yuhao turned and looked at Zhu Lu, saying unhappily, "If you have any questions, you can ask them now, right? I can guarantee that there won't be anyone else around besides you and me."

His spiritual detection has been on since he came here. If someone can still avoid his sight and spy on him, Huo Yuhao can jump into the lake and turn it on again.

Zhu Lu lowered her head and was silent for a while. Then she pleaded, "Can you help me remove the seal right now? I can exchange it for something."

Huo Yuhao was stunned. Why did this sound like he was some bad guy who deceived the girl and took advantage of her?
Seeing that Huo Yuhao did not react, Zhu Lu gritted her teeth and reluctantly took out a bag of gold soul coins from her black jade soul guide bracelet and handed it to Huo Yuhao with both hands.

"Here's all my living expenses for this semester. If you think it's not enough, can I pay you in installments?"

Huo Yuhao was completely stunned.
"Zhu Lu, I'm not a devil! You're acting like I'm bullying you! If anyone sees this, I'll be in trouble even if I jump into Poseidon Lake. Take back your living expenses right now!"

"Huh?" Zhu Lu was stunned. She looked up and saw Huo Yuhao, who looked a little angry. She unconsciously took two steps back and obediently took the gold soul coin back.

Seeing Zhu Lu back to normal, Huo Yuhao said helplessly, "It's not that I don't want to help you break the seal, but I can't do it now. By the time I'm able to help you break the seal, the validity period will have expired. That's why I asked someone to tell you all, just focus on your training. After a month, your martial spirits will be able to function normally."

Zhu Lu still looked a little unconvinced. After enduring for a while, she asked again, "Is it really impossible to break the seal now? Is there any other way?"

Huo Yuhao sighed, rubbed his head, and explained with great effort, "My second martial soul is of the ultimate ice attribute. That ability is essentially the power of ultimate ice that freezes your martial soul. Unless you can find someone whose attainments in ultimate ice surpass my second martial soul, otherwise..."

"I want to know why the seal can't be lifted now?" Zhu Lu continued her question with a somewhat ugly expression, as if she didn't understand what Huo Yuhao said.

I don't know if it was because of soft-heartedness, or because Qian Duoduo had asked him to comfort Zhu Lu.
Huo Yuhao was silent for a moment, then finally revealed the truth. "I used my spirit essence to unleash that ability. I have to wait until I can recover my spirit essence before I can help you remove the seal. But by the time I recover, the seal will have expired. Do you understand what I mean?"

Zhu Lu nodded unwillingly. If she continued to pester him, her martial soul would not be able to be unsealed in advance. Instead of wasting time on meaningless things, it would be better for her to return to the dormitory and continue to cultivate her soul power.

Seeing Zhu Lu's distraught look, Huo Yuhao vaguely remembered what he had heard from those gossipy servants about the Duchess.

The current Duke of the Netherworld is the younger brother of the Duchess of White Tiger, and the entire Duke of the Netherworld's Mansion is basically under the control of their lineage.

The Duke of Netherworld only has three sons and no daughters.
From this conclusion, it is obvious that Zhu Lu should be from a collateral family.

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao asked tentatively, "Are you from a side branch?"

Zhu Lu shuddered upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, as if she had heard something terrifying. "If one day you have nowhere else to go, you can come find me after you've thought it through. However, I'm not looking for a mere vase; you need to prove your worth to me."

The cold and blunt words like a knife fell into Zhu Lu's ears, but it not only did not make Zhu Lu's face uglier, but instead added a touch of brilliance to her eyes.

She knew that Huo Yuhao's promise gave her an extra way out.

Zhu Lu bowed slightly to Huo Yuhao and left the forest with a relaxed pace.
When Wang Dong was thinking about how to explain it to Xiao Xiao, another group of people came over.

Lan Susu, Lan Luoluo, Ning Tian, ​​Wu Feng and Nanmen Yuner.

Xiao Xiao saw the two Lan sisters coming over and walked over happily, "Good afternoon, have you just finished your meal?"

The two sisters nodded, and Ning Tian and the other two also nodded.

Xiao Xiao glanced at Ning Tian and the other two, then turned back to look at the two sisters and asked curiously, "How did you get together?"

Ning Tian shrugged and smiled faintly, "We're looking for someone. Susu and Luoluo just happened to have the same idea, so we all came here together. So, what's up? Didn't you see Huo Yuhao? After the awards ceremony and the class division, this guy disappeared without a trace. He's a real jerk!"

Xiao Xiao's eyes twitched. She didn't know if it was because Ning Tian's words were too sharp, or if it was something else, but she couldn't help but feel a little angry. She had met the inner courtyard senior yesterday, her two twin sisters, and now Ning Tian was in front of her. Wu Feng and Nanmen Yuner were also hard to say.
Why are there so many people having ambiguous relationships with Huo Yuhao?
Thinking of this, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed. She sighed inwardly, then said to Ning Tian with a smile, "We just had lunch at noon, but he asked someone to leave for a while before you came. If it's convenient for everyone, please sit down and wait together."

The benches in the pavilion had very long railings. Xiaoxiao and the Lan sisters sat together, Ning Tian and his two companions sat together, and Wang Dong sat alone. There was still plenty of space for people to sit down and rest.

Wang Dong was alone and in a daze. She didn't want to join in the conversation on either side.

If her regret for dressing up as a man was only superficial before, now she was filled with deep-seated and heart-wrenching anger. However, there was always a voice in her head, nagging that this was her own decision.
Just like the voice that had previously urged him to join the Tang Sect, it was simply indoctrination without any reason.

But why must she follow the instructions of this voice?

why?
Wang Dong'er! You're a girl! You're not a boy! You should live in the girls' dormitory! You should pursue your love as a girl!
But why?
Why did the presence of that voice make me lose my conscious will?

Am I a slave to this voice?

Whose voice is this?

Who is going to control my own life?
