Chapter 309
An unexpected encounter with Huo Yuhao, the unrequited love of the Heavenly Dream Ice Si
"Master, the fragrance is coming from this side."
Tang Wutong sniffed a few times, then immediately grabbed Lin Mu's hand and walked in the direction of the fragrance.
Seeing the two people walking ahead, Gu Yuena shook her head helplessly and could only quicken her pace to catch up.
Soon, the three of them arrived at a stream.
What came into view was a boy of about eleven or twelve years old, and several simple grills with roasted bluefish stuck on them, the aroma wafting from there.
"It's delicious!"
Looking at the grilled fish, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, Tang Wutong's eyes lit up, and she looked like she was drooling.
Lin Mu already knew about Tang Wutong's foodie nature.
Back in the God Realm, Tang Wutong often came to his place for meals, since his cooking skills were not much worse than the God of Cookery's.
"I never expected that Huo Yuhao would still be born despite my influence," Lin Mu thought to himself.
In just one glance, Lin Mu saw through Huo Yuhao's martial soul and soul power.
Just like in the original work, he has the Spirit Eye Martial Soul and innate level one soul power. From a normal perspective, there is basically no chance of turning the tables.
Unfortunately, he encountered two super-powerful opponents: the million-year-old soul beast Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and the Necromancer Saint God Ilex.
With these two advantages, Huo Yuhao had the capital to turn things around; otherwise, even with the help of elixirs, it would have been difficult for him to achieve great success.
However, both the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress have become his spirits, and the Evil Emperor has also been destroyed by him, so it is no longer possible for Huo Yuhao to follow the original storyline.
That being said, Huo Yuhao has two super advantages, so becoming a god isn't too difficult for him.
Who are you?
Faced with the three people who suddenly appeared, Huo Yuhao's eyes were filled with vigilance, and he gripped the White Tiger Dagger tightly in his hand.
Both Tang Wutong and Gu Yuena possess flawless beauty and tall, graceful figures, making them rare beauties in the world.
Although Huo Yuhao grew up in the prestigious Dai family, he had never seen such a beautiful girl.
However, Huo Yuhao dared not think too much about it.
Since the other party was able to appear here, they must not be an ordinary person, especially since there was a young man with them.
Even though Lin Mu didn't release any aura, just one look from him made Huo Yuhao feel like he was completely seen through.
This person is definitely not simple!
"Young man, we're just passing by and mean you no harm," Lin Mu said calmly.
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao breathed a slight sigh of relief, but he still did not put down the White Tiger Dagger in his hand.
Seeing this, Lin Mu flashed and instantly appeared behind Huo Yuhao, gently patting his shoulder.
"Don't be nervous. If I wanted to hurt you, you wouldn't have a chance to fight back."
Sensing the vast disparity in strength between the two sides, Huo Yuhao smiled bitterly and slowly put down the White Tiger Dagger in his hand.
A moment later, Lin Mu casually picked up a grilled fish and said, "Young brother, how about we make a deal? You treat us to grilled fish, and I'll give you a fortuitous opportunity."
"what?!"
Huo Yuhao was immediately dumbfounded; his grilled fish weren't worth much money.
After a moment, Huo Yuhao shook his head and said seriously, "These grilled fish are nothing, let me treat you to them."
"Hey, are you out of your mind? You're turning down an opportunity that's practically handed to you. This could change your destiny," Tang Wutong said irritably.
Because she spent a lot of time with Lin Mu, Tang Wutong's personality is more direct than in the original novel.
It is worth mentioning that Tang Wutong is already eighteen years old, a few years older than Huo Yuhao.
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao gave an awkward smile.
"I'll take that as your agreement. After we finish eating the grilled fish, I'll help you get your first spirit ring."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Mu tossed the grilled fish in his hand to Tang Wutong. Then, he picked up two more grilled fish, turned around, walked to Gu Yuena's side, and handed one of them to her.
"It tastes good, but it's still not as good as my master's cooking."
Tang Wutong commented to herself.
The usually quiet Gu Yuena nodded slightly. She also preferred Lin Mu's cooking, not just for the taste, but more for the feeling it evoked.
Lin Mu smiled faintly at this, then suddenly looked toward the core area.
Huo Yuhao's first cheat code has arrived.
Besides the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, there is another familiar face: the Beast God Emperor Tian.
Lin Mu flashed and instantly appeared in front of Di Tian.
Upon seeing the extremely familiar figure before him, Di Tian's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately abandoned his pursuit of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.
"Greetings, Your Majesty," Di Tian said respectfully.
Since Gu Yuena fully recovered, Di Tian has fulfilled his duty of protection. Although Gu Yuena did not lead the soul beasts back to their peak, she stayed by Lin Mu's side instead.
However, Gu Yuena also fulfilled her responsibilities, trying her best to ensure that the soul beast race would not perish.
This is not about fulfilling the so-called responsibility of the so-called Lord of Soul Beasts, but more about repaying Di Tian.
After all, the Dragon God has never favored soul beasts, and even set a rule that soul beasts can never become gods.
As one half of the Dragon God, Gu Yuena naturally does not bear this responsibility.
"Let that little bug be, anyway you've almost sucked it dry," Lin Mu said without room for argument.
Lin Mu had no particular thoughts about the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.
Now that all nine of his soul spirits have transformed into gods, and some of them have even reached the level of first-level gods, he has no need for this somewhat useless million-year-old soul beast.
As for Tang Wutong's soul ring, Lin Mu could use divine power to condense it, which would be far more suitable than the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.
Di Tian naturally dared not object to Lin Mu's proposal.
At this moment, Lin Mu suddenly thought of something and said meaningfully, "Di Tian, so many years have passed, do you want to enter the God Realm?"
Upon hearing this, Di Tian's face showed a hint of interest.
His former colleagues and boss had all run away, so how could he not have any thoughts about it?
You should know that those ferocious beasts whose strength was far inferior to his either became gods or divine beasts, and their strength was even greater than his.
"Your Majesty, please allow me some time to consider this," Di Tian said in a deep voice.
Lin Mu shrugged at this and used teleportation to return to the stream. At this time, Huo Yuhao had already fused with the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.
"Little guy, this person's cultivation is unfathomable, quickly stay away from him."
The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm shouted in Huo Yuhao's mental sea.
However, Huo Yuhao did not do as instructed. He knew very well that the other party meant no harm, and that the strange worm in his mind might even be the opportunity the other party had mentioned.
"Wait, why does this person have an icy aura?"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm muttered to itself.
At this moment, Lin Mu snapped his fingers lightly, and the girl-like Hyotei immediately appeared beside him.
"It really is Bingbing."
Upon seeing her beloved whom she hadn't seen in a long time, Tianmeng Bingcan immediately jumped out.
However, the Ice Emperor maintained an extremely indifferent attitude, not even glancing at Tianmeng Ice Silkworm. (End of Chapter)
