Volume 33, Chapter 440.3: Huo Yuhaos Feelings (1/2)
However, he was surprised that Huo Yuhao’s opinion was in complete contrast to his. Huo Yuhao wanted to find a day where the visibility was high to carry out his surveillance. His reason was very simple; he was able to conceal himself in the air with his Imitation, and couldn’t be detected by the naked eye. When the weather was good, his enemies would be able to see everything in the sky when they lifted their heads. It was easier for them to be careless.
They planned the mission for an entire morning. It was lunchtime before they agreed that they were done.
------
As he walked out of the tent, Huo Yuhao lifted his head to look at the sky. The sky was completely clear, and there weren’t any clouds. The clear sky was like a huge sapphire. The blinding sunlight filled the world with the aura of light.
The weather was very good.
A slight smile appeared at the edge of Huo Yuhao’s lips. He turned around and walked towards his tent. After he returned, he regrouped his thoughts there for a moment before leaving for lunch.
---
Tang Wutong walked out from her tent behind Huo Yuhao. She managed to get a look at his side profile as he peered into the sky.
When sunlight fell on his slightly pale face, the slight smile on his face left Tang Wutong a little weirded out. Why is there this sense of desperation that I can feel from his smile? Don’t tell me that he’s suicidal?
---
After returning his own tent, Huo Yuhao washed his face to refresh himself. Tang Wutong didn’t see it wrong. His mental state was a little weird.
Ever since he had discovered that Tang Wutong’s soul power couldn’t fuse with his, he had felt very mournful. The Douluo Continent is so huge. If Dong’er has already forgotten me, how will I be able to find her? Tang Wutong’s not Dong’er. So where is she? Don’t tell me that Dong’er’s already…
Due to these confusing and complicated thoughts, he felt a little empty. He had been through too many things over the past year.
Ever since he had gone to the Setting Sun Forest to find the Yearning Heartbroken Grass for Wang Dong’er, he had never completely spent time with her. After that, Wang Qiu’er sacrificed herself, and Wang Dong’er fell into a coma. He entered a mental state of near-desolation after that.
If not for the fact that he was extremely mentally resilient, he would have broken down already.
He had numbed himself by keeping himself busy. From the beast wave to the establishment of the Spirit Pagoda to his recognition of Dai Luoli, he tried to stop himself from thinking about Wang Dong’er and Wang Qiu’er. He had gotten through each day because of that.
However, Tang Wutong’s appearance changed everything. Her appearance had rekindled his hope. However, this hope was extinguished one last time, and he was greatly devastated once again. The impact on him was hard to imagine.
His exterior calm was actually a reflection of his deep inner depression.
It was the scariest when one lost all hope. It was highly likely that Huo Yuhao’s current mental state was the reason why he was adamant on surveying the Death God.
During the meeting today, there was one point that he had never mentioned. The Death God was the strongest soul tool that the Sun Moon Empire had. At the same time, it was controlled by the strongest soul engineer in the Sun Moon Empire, the Death God Douluo! No one knew how great the Death God Douluo’s abilities were. Few people knew what he looked like. Under such a situation, Huo Yuhao was at great risk trying to carry out this reconnaissance mission. However, he didn’t really care anymore. He even thought that it might be a form of relief if he died on this mission.
Dai Luoli knew his true identity. If he died, Dai Luoli would surely tell the White Tiger Duke his true identity. When that happened, would Dai Hao be heartbroken? If he was, it would be sort of a revenge for Dai Hao. He had sent his own son to the battlefield of no return. It was actually frustrating to think about that.
As for Wang Dong’er, even if she was still alive, she had already forgotten him. Perhaps his death would be good for her. Her family didn’t tell her anything about him, even though she had regained consciousness. This must mean that they were unhappy with him. Perhaps his death would signal a new beginning for her.
When someone was resigned to fate, many of their thoughts would deviate from the norm. Huo Yuhao was exactly like that right now. Regarding the mission, he was already prepared for the worst.
Lunch was very peaceful. No one could tell the difference. Huo Yuhao was even chatting and laughing with his fellow comrades.
After lunch, Xu Sanshi asked Huo Yuhao, “Yuhao, are you going to go tonight?”
Huo Yuhao nodded and said, “It’s better to go early. At least the matter will be settled sooner.”
Xu Sanshi furrowed his brow and said, “What do you mean by settled? That sounds bad. Yuhao, you must be careful. We’ll coordinate with you from the sky and ground today. Don’t engage in any fights, no matter what you find. Come back immediately after scanning the area once.”
“Alright.” Huo Yuhao acknowledged his words readily.
Tang Wutong kept on glancing at him from the side. For some reason, she felt very tense no matter what Huo Yuhao said. She had never experienced such a feeling before. This feeling became even more acute when she looked at his expression when he smiled.
Surely there isn’t something wrong with him, right? Why am I so concerned about his safety? Just because we’re in the same boat?
Tang Wutong didn’t understand why he was in such a state either. However, she had a premonition that tonight’s mission wouldn’t proceed that smoothly. Perhaps he might really meet with danger!
