The surprise in Xu Jiawei's heart gradually disappeared, replaced by calmness.
He hasn't taken the initiative to pay attention to Dai Hao's son for a long time, but the cause and effect in the dark foreshadows everything.
Xu Jiawei nodded again: "Man Yi, have you heard about the conditions for picking the Acacia Heartbreak Grass?"
Nebula Douluo smiled meaningfully and said, "Your Majesty, I have certainly heard of it."
A bedroom that lasted for a long time.
The princess was sitting on the sickbed, holding a porcelain bowl in her right hand, swallowing the medicine in it. Next to the sickbed, Huo Yuhao replaced the original Nebula Douluo.
She had been in a deep coma for the past few days and had hardly eaten anything. She had been relying on the vitality and treasures provided by the Medical Immortal Douluo to sustain her life. Her stomach had long been empty.
After waking up at this moment, the intense feeling of hunger made Xu Jiujiu unbearable, but he still obeyed the order of Medical Immortal Douluo and took some non-irritating medicines to slowly recuperate.
Although the soup was bitter, it contained plenty of energy. Her throat twitched quickly, and she tried to be graceful, drinking the soup without making any sound, and drank the soup in the bowl in one gulp.
After swallowing the last drop of medicine, he put down the porcelain bowl in his hand after a long time. He took a deep breath and his hunger and thirst were mostly relieved.
Although still thin, her complexion is much better now. However, the fluctuation of her soul power is very weak, and her cultivation level cannot be seen at all. It seems that she is not much different from a soul master.
Wang Xianer took the porcelain bowl and said with relief: "It's really a miracle. I believe it will be fully recovered in a few days."
The title of the continent's number one healing spirit master is truly not in vain.
Xu Jiujiu nodded, feeling that he had regained a lot of strength, and complained with a smile: "Medical Fairy Grandma, this soup is too bitter. I want to eat some normal food."
Wang Xian'er frowned and said angrily, "Good medicine tastes bitter, it will take a long time, don't be willful at this time."
But looking at the thin Xu Jiujiu, she softened her heart and asked, "Jiujiu, what do you want to eat?"
Xu Jiujiu lay on the bed and turned his gaze towards Huo Yuhao: "How about barbecue?"
Although he was talking to Wang Xian'er, it seemed more like he was seeking Huo Yuhao's opinion.
Huo Yuhao smiled softly and replied, “Let’s listen to Senior Medical Immortal. Take the medicine first, and after you recover, you can eat as much barbecue as you want.”
Seeing Huo Yuhao’s refusal, Xu Jiujiu shrugged and said leisurely, “Okay, I’ll listen to the Medical Fairy.”
Her tone had returned to its usual calm and composed state.
Wang Xian'er watched from the side and couldn't help but smile bitterly. This wasn't him following her orders, it was clearly him following Huo Yuhao's orders.
"Medical Fairy Grandma, I have something I want to talk to Yuhao alone, is that okay?" Xu Jiujiu looked at Wang Xianer and asked.
Wang Xian'er smiled to herself: "Then I will go and report to His Majesty on the situation in the past few days. I will leave the space to you."
As she said this, she shook her head slightly and walked out of the room.
Huo Yuhao and Xu Jiujiu were the only ones left in the bedroom.
The smiles on their faces disappeared. No one spoke, and their eyes were not on each other. The room was silent.
Finally, Xu Jiujiu spoke softly: "In fact, it's not a lovesickness grass at all, it's all your fault. Right, Yuhao?"
“Yeah.” Huo Yuhao did not answer, but just responded.
There was silence in the room again.
Xu Jiujiu took a deep breath, looked at Huo Yuhao, and asked seriously, "Who are they?"
Without any cause and effect, it is difficult for outsiders to understand who Xu Jiujiu is talking about.
Before Huo Yuhao could answer, Xu Jiujiu continued, "Actually, I know that I am dead. I can see my body in my soul state."
"Although it was hard to accept at first, I soon felt very calm because death is death and nothing can be done about it."
"I wanted to talk to Grandma Manyi and Grandma Yixian, but I couldn't make any sound, and they couldn't sense my presence either."
"I guess this is what it's like when you die."
Huo Yuhao continued to listen quietly for a long time.
"But soon, I saw you coming. There was a special power in you that made me, in my soul state, involuntarily feel awed."
"I saw you brought me the legendary Acacia Heartbreak Herb, but it didn't work at all. Yes, I'm already dead, how could it be useful?"
"Then you took me to your mother's grave and allowed my soul to return to my body. I don't remember anything after that."
Xu Jiujiu asked, "Is that man called Yin Lao? Yuhao, can you ask him to show up so that I can thank him in person?"
Huo Yuhao did not speak, but another old voice sounded.
"Child, you don't need to thank me, thank Yuhao instead. Without him, there would be no possibility of your resurrection."
Yin Lex's figure appeared in the room, exuding an aura of holiness and majesty.
Xu Jiujiu was subconsciously stunned for a moment, then reluctantly performed the Xingluo palace etiquette on the bed.
"Thank you, Senior."
This is one of the few times that Yin Lex took the initiative to reveal his identity in front of outsiders.
"No, I really didn't do anything. The Medical Immortal and Yu Hao are the ones you should be most grateful to. Without any of their efforts, you would not be able to be resurrected."
Yin Lex shook his head: "But now, there is only one last crucial step left."
"Senior, what is it?"
"You should be able to feel that your soul skills are temporarily unusable. That's because Yu Hao temporarily used his seventh soul ring as a container to receive your soul ring. Now that your body has recovered, it's time for him to return the power. Otherwise, your soul will show signs of collapse sooner or later."
Behind Huo Yuhao, the seven soul rings of the Demon Eye martial spirit all lit up. One platinum, six black, and the last black soul ring was dotted with countless stars.
The seventh starry night-colored soul ring suddenly flashed, and amid the low chanting of Huo Yuhao and Yin Laix, it transformed into several different soul powers and flowed into Xu Jiujiu's body.
He closed his eyes for a long time, his body trembled, and he felt an instinctive sense of comfort, as if his empty heart and soul were comforted and filled.
The magnificent star crown that had been passed down from generation to generation in the Xu family appeared on her head, and the six soul rings that originally belonged to her were also moving rhythmically behind her.
A surge of power surged through my body, and Xu Jiujiu felt much better.
Xu Jiujiu looked at Huo Yuhao with complicated eyes, not knowing how to express his emotions. After a long while, thousands of words finally turned into a few words: "Thank you, Yuhao."
Huo Yuhao said calmly: "Actually, for me, I didn't pay anything."
Xu Jiujiu chuckled and muttered, "You've done such a great thing, but you have to say you don't care."
She raised her hand and took the White Tiger Dagger from beside the pillow. After a pause, she said, "If I remember correctly, I once heard you mention that this should be called the White Tiger Dagger. It was given to your mother by the Duke of White Tiger, right?"
After stroking the blade for a long time, he suddenly felt his heartbeat speed up unconsciously.
This was the token of love that Duke White Tiger once gave to Huo Yuner. Now Huo Yuhao has handed it over to himself. Doesn’t that mean... ?
Huo Yuhao nodded and admitted: “Yes.”
When mentioning Huo Yun'er, his expression became somewhat melancholy.
Xu Jiujiu stroked the White Tiger Dagger again, and suddenly he was stunned. He discovered the secret of the White Tiger Dagger and exclaimed: "This is actually... a soul guide! And the level is not low."
"Yes, a level five soul guide."
Huo Yuhao suddenly sneered: "It's incredible to say the least. My mother obviously has no soul power and cannot use it at all. At first I even suspected that Dai Hao gave her such a dagger for some ulterior motive."
Xu Jiujiu was puzzled and asked: "What is the purpose?"
Huo Yuhao shook his head and did not answer the question, burying the answer in his heart.
What special purpose could there be in giving a dagger as a gift to a weak woman?
A similar situation might occur in the imperial palace, where the emperor would send someone to present a concubine with a three-foot white silk or a cup of poisoned wine, meaning that she had to behave herself.
"This is one of the few gifts Dai Hao gave her before. Maybe in Dai Hao's eyes, it is nothing and he will forget about it after giving it to her. But in her eyes, it is a treasure."
The topic suddenly turned to the love history between Huo Yun'er and Dai Hao, and the originally heavy atmosphere suddenly became cheerful.
Women are often very passionate about emotional matters.
Xu Jiujiu smiled and said, "A gift from someone you love deeply should be cherished."
As she said this, her hand holding the scabbard tightened unconsciously.
Huo Yuhao said in a cold voice: "But she cherishes this relationship so much, but the other party has never taken it seriously and has ignored it for several years."
"He didn't actually give anything, but the other person who was giving was always suffering."
Xu Jiujiu naturally knew that he was taking this opportunity to blame Duke Baihu.
She said softly, "But Duke Baihu has to guard the border, so he is too busy to do anything else. Yuhao, you should understand that he is also trying to protect our motherland. Besides, didn't he try his best to make amends to you and your mother later?"
Huo Yuhao said calmly: "So I will forgive him for now. I have a natural respect for the military, and he is still someone my mother loves deeply."
"I just don't understand their relationship. She kept repeating his name until she died."
Feelings?
He stared at Huo Yuhao silently for a long time.
The topic of their conversation always revolved around the relationship between Huo Yun'er and Duke Baihu, but they both knew that they were trying to evade the question and were using their relationship to hint at each other's intentions.
Perhaps both of them have discovered their feelings, but neither dares to face or look directly at each other and reveal their true feelings to the other.
Xu Jiujiu whispered: "Yuhao, do you remember the first time we met?"
Huo Yuhao nodded lightly.
"At that time, you took the Duke's Mansion token and ran to the outside of the palace to file a complaint, which really surprised the entire royal family. At that time, did you have the help of this old Yin?"
Huo Yuhao denied it, “No, I met Master Yin only after I obtained my first spirit ring. I stole the Duke’s Mansion token.”
He paused and said, "Actually, I should be the one to say thank you. Without your help, I would never have been able to find Dai Hao and clear my mother's name."
Xu Jiujiu asked: "Aren't you afraid that if you make a big fuss, the Duke of White Tiger will lose face and send someone to get rid of you?"
Huo Yuhao said calmly: "So you think I should endure the humiliation and wait until my mother dies of overwork and I become a Titled Douluo before I can raise an army to question Dai Hao?"
"To some extent, a six-year-old child is more powerful than a sixty-year-old Title Douluo, and has a greater chance of success. At that time, I couldn't wait to become a Title Douluo."
"Yuhao, do you know why I helped you in the first place?" Xu Jiujiu was silent for a while, then slowly said, "Because I think you are very similar to me, and your mother is also very similar to my mother."
Huo Yuhao frowned. This was the first time he heard Xu Jiujiu talk about his mother.
Xu Jiujiu continued, his eyes deep: "My mother also loves my father, but my father does not love her. Theirs is just a very normal political marriage."
"My father had many concubines, including the most powerful queen. Before I was born, he rarely visited my mother. After I was born, he mainly asked about my situation."
She sighed deeply, her eyes filled with sadness.
"But even so, my mother still loved him deeply. Even if he was not the Xingluo Emperor who was above everyone else, she was willing to stay with him forever, even if he did not love her. But she died of illness not long before she met you."
