Chapter 151 Mingming has found someone she likes for the first time
Huo Yuhao could only mumble, "That's not a good idea."
But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw the other person's brows furrow even more, and the pain on his face was no longer the superficial performance he had shown before.
Upon closer inspection, a dark bluish-purple color appeared on the once fair and smooth skin of her ankle, making it look particularly horrifying.
Huo Yuhao's eyelids twitched suddenly.
This girl is really ruthless to herself.
As for Huo Yuhao, he naturally noticed that Meng Hongchen's ankle was perfectly fine.
As a result, in the instant she took off her dance shoes, she activated the toxins in her body, causing her to injure her ankle.
This situation is no longer a question of whether he wants to get involved or not.
Meng Hongchen seemed unable to bear it any longer, letting out a suppressed cry of pain. Her hands instinctively clenched tightly in front of her chest, and her watery eyes stared straight at Huo Yuhao.
"I think you're a gentle person, Yuhao, so you definitely wouldn't have any ill intentions towards me, right?"
Seeing Meng Hongchen's pitiful appearance, Huo Yuhao suddenly felt cold sweat begin to seep out from his forehead.
Especially within his mental detection range, he couldn't detect Xiao Hongchen's figure at all.
This is really not right.
Given Xiao Hongchen's overprotective attitude towards his sister, how could he possibly feel comfortable letting himself and his sister be alone together?
Meng Hongchen felt the pain in her ankle was almost unbearable, but the thought that Xiao Hongchen wouldn't suddenly jump out and disturb her good time made the smile in her eyes grow even stronger.
After all, her sister Jiujiu had just promised to find the person in charge of the banquet and arrest Xiao Hongchen, who had been hiding in the bushes nearby and spying on her, as a peeping tom.
For the sake of my own future happiness, I have no choice but to let my older brother suffer for now.
After a moment, Huo Yuhao finally nodded.
"In that case, I'll begin."
Now that Meng Hongchen has gone this far, Huo Yuhao naturally won't dwell on it any longer.
The cold poison of Zhu Qingbing Toad is just as fierce as that of the Jade Phosphorous Snake. When cultivated to a high level, if it is not properly controlled, it will also backfire on its master, causing the cold poison to attack the heart and lead to death.
Even though Meng Hongchen had cultivated to the point where she could control the cold poison at will, Huo Yuhao still didn't want her to suffer any irreparable harm because of him.
Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, squatted down, and gently grasped Meng Hongchen's injured bare foot.
When the other person's palm truly touched the flesh of the sole, the warm sensation surged through Meng Hongchen's heart like an electric current.
When it actually happened, she realized that some things seem simple in theory, but are actually very difficult in practice.
With just a gentle grip from Huo Yuhao, she felt all the strength drain from her body, and her body went limp uncontrollably.
If she hadn't instinctively been supporting herself on the chair with her hands, she probably would have collapsed to the ground long ago.
Huo Yuhao could clearly hear the increasingly rapid, even somewhat disordered, breathing of the girl in front of him.
You can feel the coolness and delicacy of the delicate hand grasping yours, and those pearl-like toes curl and stretch uncontrollably, as if resisting or teasing you.
Meng Hongchen half-closed her eyes, and the voice that came out of her throat was also a bit soft and charming.
"Hurry up, my ankle feels like it's hurting again..."
"……Um."
Huo Yuhao responded softly.
Now that he had made up his mind to do it, he naturally stopped being hesitant.
Now that things have come to this, the sooner it ends, the better for both of them.
With his other free hand, Huo Yuhao gently stroked and pressed the ankle that had turned bruised, and his blue-gold eyes turned completely gold at this moment.
To break free from Meng Hongchen's cold poison, one cannot simply use ice-attribute soul power to forcibly suppress it, as she thought.
The toxins of the Zhu Qing Ice Toad are produced by the alternation of ice and fire.
If the ice poison is suppressed by the power of extreme cold, then the fire poison hidden inside it is very likely to counterattack and erupt the moment the balance is lost.
Even for Meng Hongchen, the controller of Zhu Qingbing Toad Martial Soul, a slight mishap could result in severe injury.
The bone-chilling, icy soul power I had expected did not appear.
The soul power that Huo Yuhao transmitted through his fingertips was exceptionally gentle, like a hot spring in winter.
His fingers gently pressed and stroked that skin, and the subtle, feather-like itching sensation made Meng Hongchen even more dizzy.
She had to bite her lower lip tightly to suppress the soft moan that was about to escape her lips.
But beads of sweat appeared on her exposed, snow-white skin, and even her burgundy dress seemed to be soaked through by the heat.
She looked as if she had just been pulled out of warm water, exuding a sweet and slightly tempting aura.
Meng Hongchen was so overwhelmed by this incredibly gentle soul power that she felt her very bones were being softened by the warmth, leaving her completely powerless.
Without a doubt, the compatibility between her and Huo Yuhao's soul power was exceptionally high.
But it's still a little short.
It seems that one crucial point is still missing.
We shouldn't stop here.
A thin layer of mist began to well up in Meng Hongchen's eyes; she found it hard to accept this outcome.
Even though it was the first time she had ever liked someone, and even though she had already gone to such lengths, why couldn't she feel the power of the Martial Soul Fusion Technique?
After Huo Yuhao carefully used his mental power to remove the remaining toxins from Meng Hongchen's ankle, the previously terrifying bruise had disappeared. The skin on her ankle had returned to its original snow-white color, radiating a lustrous glow.
"Miss Meng, I..."
Huo Yuhao withdrew his hand, about to say something, but before he could speak, what came into view was a pretty face covered with tears, quietly sobbing.
"This shouldn't have happened. Why did it happen?"
Meng Hongchen bit her lower lip and murmured to herself in a voice trembling with tears.
"In that case, wouldn't I have lost...?"
Just as Huo Yuhao was at a loss because of this unexpected turn of events, Meng Hongchen seemed to have grasped at the last straw and suddenly raised her head.
"This must be a test from fate for us, yes, it must be."
Completely disregarding the fact that she hadn't put her dance shoes back on, she stood barefoot on the ground and grabbed Huo Yuhao's hand.
"So let's elope! Once we have kids, my grandpa definitely won't object to us being together."
"Wait, Miss Meng, what exactly are you trying to do?"
Huo Yuhao's mind was also a complete mess.
Regardless of what Meng Hongchen just said about things not being the way they should be, or her outrageous statement about eloping, he completely couldn't understand the girl's thoughts.
Even if there are absurd examples like the other person falling in love at first sight in a past life, isn't this going a bit too far?
"Don't you have any special feelings for me?" Meng Hongchen looked intently at Huo Yuhao, her tone extremely serious. "The moment I first saw you, I felt that you were extremely important to me, as if we were destined for each other. I even felt that we should have a Martial Soul Fusion Technique."
"A Martial Soul Fusion Skill?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao suddenly understood.
So all that trouble she went through was for this?
Three purple spirit rings began to rise from beneath Huo Yuhao's feet, and the second spirit ring flickered slightly.
Imperceptible to the naked eye, golden threads symbolizing fate and entanglement silently wrapped around Meng Hongchen's body.
In an instant, Meng Hongchen's originally icy blue eyes turned blood red, and her wine-red hair quickly faded, turning snow-white in the blink of an eye.
Feeling the soul power between the two completely merged into one, with no distinction between them, Meng Hongchen's eyes clearly revealed a deep sense of astonishment.
She had already prepared herself for the fact that they wouldn't have a spirit fusion skill.
Even without the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, she had already decided in her heart that Huo Yuhao was the right person.
The only troublesome thing is the pressure from her grandfather, which is why she blurted out that she wanted to elope in a moment of desperation.
But now?
"Your previous feeling was probably just because my martial soul is rather special." Huo Yuhao hesitated for a moment before finally explaining with some mixed feelings:
"To be precise, I can actually create a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with most people. It's just that the degree of compatibility will vary due to the different origins of the Martial Souls."
The thread of destiny.
This is Huo Yuhao's second soul ring, another special soul skill he carries under the influence of the Eye of Destiny, which originates from the same source as Mirror Flower Water Moon.
The threads of destiny constructed from spiritual power have an effect similar to the judgment brought about by the Eye of Destiny, possessing the dual effects of "predestination" and "judgment".
On the surface, the Martial Soul Fusion Skill appears to be a fusion of two martial souls whose original auras are similar and can complement each other. But at a deeper level, it is actually a convergence and intertwining of their destinies.
This is why most people who can create a Martial Soul Fusion Skill are siblings, or even spouses.
That's why Tang San in his previous life could influence Wang Dong'er through his divine sense, enabling her to achieve multiple 100% martial soul fusions with extremely absurd effects on him.
The predetermined effect of this thread of destiny is the convergence of fate.
Once touched by these invisible threads, the positive effect is that one receives the enhancement of Huo Yuhao's other soul skills, and the soul power of both parties can naturally merge with each other.
The effect of the ruling was exactly the opposite.
Hearing Huo Yuhao's explanation, Meng Hongchen was somewhat taken aback.
So, it's not that I'm special?
Instead, the other party is like a plug-and-play soul tool module; anyone can touch it as long as the conditions are met.
No wonder the female students at Shrek Academy treated him like a treasure.
But if it were me, wouldn't I lock him in a dark room, brand him with my own mark, and let him enjoy it all by himself?
Looking at the girl's ever-changing expression, Huo Yuhao asked with some suspicion, "Are you thinking something rude? Achieving the level of being able to perform a Martial Soul Fusion Technique isn't as simple as you think."
Huo Yuhao himself was also a little confused as to why Meng Hongchen felt a strange flutter in her heart when they first met.
Is this what they call the effect of falling in love at first sight?
Upon hearing the second half of Huo Yuhao's sentence, Meng Hongchen's eyes lit up instantly.
"Does that mean I'm still special to you?"
After a brief hesitation, Huo Yuhao nodded slightly.
Aside from Zhu Lu's special bloodline, Huo Yuhao speculated that Meng Hongchen's ability to easily meet the conditions for a martial soul fusion skill might be related to the original attributes of her martial soul.
Although his second martial soul is still primarily the Ice Dragon King martial soul, the Fire Dragon King's dragon soul continues to influence him.
Not to mention the Golden Dragon King bloodline that flows within him at all times, a bloodline of extreme yang and strength.
A martial soul with both ice and fire originating from the same source is extremely rare. For example, in his previous life, after he drank the scorching Yang Spring, the scorching aura constantly clashed with his own extreme ice.
If it weren't for the fact that the Golden Dragon King's bloodline is playing a harmonizing role, he probably would have already exploded and died under the influence of the Ice and Fire Dragon Souls.
Upon receiving Huo Yuhao's affirmative reply, Meng Hongchen couldn't help but smile.
The small hands that were originally just holding each other's palms have inadvertently turned into interlocking fingers.
"Then, let's get to know each other again."
She looked at Huo Yuhao with a bright smile.
"I am Meng Hongchen from the Hongchen family of the Sun Moon Empire, and I am now working towards becoming your partner."
This sudden, direct attack made Huo Yuhao's expression stiffen.
He hesitated for a moment before tentatively asking, "We've only just met; isn't it a bit too fast to say this?"
Looking at the somewhat bewildered and innocent young man before her, Meng Hongchen's lips curved upwards even further.
She blinked her blood-red eyes, leaned forward slightly, and moved closer to Huo Yuhao.
"Life is short, so I think I should love you for a longer time than you love me."
On the other side of the terrace, Yan'er, dressed in a fiery red strapless dress, stretched lazily and complained somewhat helplessly.
"Now I understand why the captain didn't come and just gave the spots to the two of us. This banquet was so boring, it was like it wasn't prepared for us at all."
She turned her head, only to find that the blonde girl beside her did not respond for a long time, but instead stared straight away.
"Mengdi, what are you looking at?" Yan'er asked curiously.
Following Yu Mengdi's gaze, she could vaguely see the figures of a man and a woman through the gaps in a dense thicket of trees not far away.
Because of the distance and angle, the two people looked extremely intimate.
