Volume 45, Chapter 621.3: Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing (1/2)
Huo Yuhao’s surroundings gradually became illusory, but everything around him was a vast forest from beginning to end, like there was no end at all. Huo Yuhao was confident that he would have traversed even the Great Star Dou Forest at his current maximum speed, but this forest he was in seemed endless. He released his divine sense, but all he could feel were endless trees and vegetation.
Huo Yuhao stopped only when he couldn’t feel the murderousness from behind him anymore. He dropped to the ground, and when he turned around, he was still stuck in the vast forest, but his father-in-law’s terrifying aura was no longer there.
Huo Yuhao’s life was temporarily safe, but he could only laugh bitterly at his predicament. He had such a powerful and overbearing father-in-law, so how could he search for Tang Wutong? Furthermore, his father-in-law was the God Realm’s Enforcer, while he had just entered the God Realm. He was still unfamiliar with everything around him, and there was hardly anything he could do.
What should I do next? He was in a completely unfamiliar place. Furthermore, he could be in danger at any moment. Huo Yuhao had gone through so much trouble to become a God, but even now, he felt a thread of helplessness.
Huo Yuhao laughed bitterly as he walked forward. No matter what, he had to leave this forest before anything else. He didn’t dare to fly above it, because that would expose him too easily. There seemed to be some mystical force within this forest, and not even his divine sense could reach places further away.
Huo Yuhao didn’t know how long he had walked when the area before him emptied and grew spacious as a small lake appeared in front of him.
Huo Yuhao was momentarily stunned when he saw this lake, because he realized to his surprise that this lake was too similar to the Great Star Dou Forest’s Lake of Life!
Wait!
Huo Yuhao’s eyes flowed with astonishment, because he suddenly realized that there was a small courtyard by the lakeside. There were three wooden houses inside the courtyard, and they weren’t very large. However, they were intricate and exquisite, and their location by the lakeside in a forest seemed especially scenic and poetic.
There were houses, and that meant there were people. Huo Yuhao hurriedly stepped towards those wooden houses. Even though he didn’t know which God stayed here, asking someone about the God Realm was better than trying to figure things out on his own. That was especially so because he had offended the Enforcer.
Huo Yuhao raised his voice and asked as he came to the courtyard, “Hello, is anyone here?”
Huo Yuhao asked three times before the door to the wooden house in the middle opened, and someone walked out.
This man had golden hair and a burly, muscular frame. He had mundane and unassuming facial features, and he looked a little more than thirty. An indescribably old and ancient aura emanated from this man as he stood there, and he was like a towering and majestic mountain that would intimidate any onlooker.
For some reason, Huo Yuhao seemed to find this person a little familiar. He felt like he had just seen the White Tiger Duke. Huo Yuhao’s eyes were incredibly sharp, and he focused and realized to his surprise that this golden-haired man also had two pupils in each of his eyes.
“Come in.” The golden-haired man’s voice was deep and thick, but it carried a tinge of clanging sounds.
The courtyard door opened as Huo Yuhao stepped in subconsciously. However, his eyes were fixated on the golden-haired man’s face from the beginning to the end, and he seemed to guess something in his heart, but he couldn’t really confirm his theory.
“He’s here?” Another voice could be heard in this moment. This voice was a little cold, but extremely touching and melodious. There was also tenderness mixed with the voice’s coldness.
Another person stepped out from the wooden hut. Flowing black hair draped behind her, and her simple black dress brought out her beauty and elegance. She seemed like she was around twenty-eight or twenty-nine, and her body was very mature, while her features were gorgeous. Coldness radiated from her beautiful eyes, but her eyes were very gentle as she trained them on Huo Yuhao. They even had a tinge of benevolence.
“You must be Yuhao.” The black-haired lady smiled as she spoke.
Huo Yuhao nodded, but his eyes seemed a little lost.
The lady turned and glanced at the golden-haired man as she giggled, “He must be stronger than you are. He’s a Tier One God.”
“He’s still my descendant, ” the golden-haired youth said proudly.
Huo Yuhao’s eyes froze as he immediately confirmed his speculation. “You… who are you?”
The golden-haired youth stared at him with passionate, sparkling eyes. “My name is Dai Mubai, and this my wife, Zhu Zhuqing.”
Dai Mubai? Zhu Zhuqing?
Even though Huo Yuhao already had his own speculations, he could still feel his blood stirring in his veins when he heard their names.
