Chapter 168 Our Contract

"Huh?" Chi Qiu was a little stunned by Huo Yuhao's words. She looked at the other party's green eyes with a faint light and didn't realize what he was going to say for a moment.

"How long have we known each other?"

Huo Yuhao scratched his hair and looked a little nervous, but he did not look away, but kept his eyes on Chi Qiu for a long time.With golden-red eyes and long hair as brilliant as autumn leaves, he thought of the autumn day in the Starry Forest that he had seen with his own eyes.

"Four years." Chi Qiu nodded slightly to him, "What's wrong?"

"It's been four years." Huo Yuhao said, "I can still remember the scene when we met on the first day. I thought I was going to lose to the soul beast, but Brother Tianmeng and Yi Lao fell from the sky and were killed by a huge My head was spinning with surprise and confusion, and I only had assumptions about the future, but no better plans. ...After all, I was still young at that time."

"Then I saw you. To be honest, it really scared me at the time, because I thought I would definitely die in your hands. I was still so weak at that time."

"Qiu'er, you know, although I have always had a clear understanding of myself, it was still a little difficult for me to say it myself and admit that I was weak at that time."

"But, everything changed soon... Many things changed from that day. So did Brother Tianmeng, so did Yi Lao, and so did Qiu'er. In the past four years, I have embarked on a path that was once difficult for me. The dreamy road of imagination.”

"However, as a person who has really walked all the way, I know that all of this is my real deal, step by step, and it is definitely not an illusion. Including you, Qiu'er, I can get to where I am now, thanks to you who have always been with me. around."

Chi Qiu blinked slightly in surprise.The sun shone from the window, and the gentle warm color illuminated her cheeks. It was hard to tell if she was blushing for a while.

"Why are you talking about these things all of a sudden?" She smiled, but her tone was slightly trembling, as if she had a premonition, "I thought I had heard enough of these words along the way. You have always said this."

"Because I think it is necessary to formally review our experiences during this period before talking about the following content." Huo Yuhao's tone was very serious, "We exchanged memories during the first attribute introduction. At that time, I remembered that I saw you My memories are almost all of a long life in the forest, day after day, with almost no difference."

"These four years are very short for you. But in the four years since I came to this world, do you feel that... um... the excitement of your memories has changed?"

"Yes, I have."

Chi Qiu answered simply. She caught Huo Yuhao's gaze with a smile, and the two eyes full of emotions met.

"Compulsory courses in human society and so on... I have learned a lot." She said, also recalling the scene when the Golden Dragon King interrogated Wang Dong.

She screamed to the Golden Dragon King that day, saying that it was just these few years that changed her entire life.And the person who makes all the gears of fate turn is the person in front of him.

"Based on what I learned." She took a step forward, her golden hair flying gently in the air, shining brightly in the sunlight. "You want to tell me something important, something that concerns me. Seriously, I'm looking forward to what you're going to say."

Huo Yuhao felt heat rising from the back of his neck to his cheeks. Perhaps it was because the midsummer temperature was too high.He raised the back of his hand to rub his cheek, and then, as if he had made up his mind, he reached out and took Chi Qiu's wrist.

"Can we be together?" He said in the most solemn tone in the past four years, "From now on, we will always be by each other's side."

Chi Qiu raised her wrist that was held tightly by him, and her fair skin seemed to shine like a gem under the golden light.Huo Yuhao thought about the day he first met, the three-eyed golden cat's fur was as dazzling as crystal, and the fiery red color covered his entire sight. From that moment on, his future began to burn.

"Of course." She smiled, "Isn't that what we've always done?"

Huo Yuhao looked at these eyes, and for some reason, his eyes suddenly felt sore.From the day he lost his mother, from the day he left home alone, how he wished someone could stay by his side firmly.These words could never be uttered due to his self-esteem, but he did want to be loved.

"I know, I should have known..." He quickly turned his head and looked away to prevent his emotions from getting out of control at this time, "But before today, I was still struggling with this matter. Wang Dong Brother Xiao and Brother Xiao have urged me several times. Because I am not confident, I...I am still worried that you staying with me are still just for the purpose when we first met."

"However, you agreed so happily today, which makes me feel that I have been dragging on and struggling. I am really sorry for you."

The side of his face was gently touched by a gentle hand.This hand can hold the Golden Dragon Spear and use its powerful brute force to crush all enemies in front of them, becoming the most powerful and feared main attacker in the team. However, this hand is gently placed on them with comforting strength at this moment. Huo Yuhao's side face looked like he was protecting his own treasure.

"Don't say such things." Chiqiu said softly, "There is nothing wrong with me. We are connected in spirit. I understand you, so I have been waiting for you. Maybe it did make you worried at first... Later, every time you feel uneasy When I was young, I tried my best to make you trust me, can you now?"

"Yes, of course." Huo Yuhao put his palm on the back of the hand covering his cheek. He also took a step forward, shortening the distance between the two to just a breath.

"Obviously I was the one who decided to confess...how did it end up like this." Huo Yuhao lowered his head slightly, "Instead, I asked you to comfort me. I feel like I messed up."

"No." Chi Qiu raised his head and made the two people's foreheads touch. The eyes of fate were almost instinctively triggered at the same time. They opened their eyes and looked at each other through fate.

"Do you feel that I am more familiar with human emotions than you now?" She smiled and rubbed her fingers through Huo Yuhao's black temples, leaving a slightly itchy touch.

Huo Yuhao also laughed: "Well, Qiu'er, full marks."

He lowered his head further and rubbed the tip of his nose lightly, just a few feet away.He could feel the warm air exhaled when the other person breathed.The light shines through their silhouettes, so warm.

He closed his eyes, sighed deeply, and sighed again before squeezing Chiqiu's hand, raising it in front of him, and pressing a gentle kiss to the back of the hand.

Chi Qiu obviously didn't expect such a development. She looked at the back of her hand and was slightly stunned.Huo Yuhao had already covered his face and turned away.

"Is this our contract?" She smiled and shook her hand.

"Yes." Huo Yuhao's voice came from his palm, sounding muffled, "We have to be by each other's side from now on."

After saying that, he turned around to face Chi Qiu again, then reached out and carefully held her back.With Chiqiu's acquiescence, he slowly hugged the other person into his arms.

"I never break a contract."

She said, her voice as gentle as the morning breeze in autumn.

...Seeing Huo Yuhao blushing slightly and holding Chi Qiu's hand as he walked out of the door, Xiao Hongchen shrugged and looked at Wang Dong: "It's done. What do you say?"

"Damn it, I thought he would wait until he came back from the Eye of Ice and Fire and continue to say things like, 'I will confess my feelings after this matter is dealt with.'" Wang Dong seemed to be gritting his teeth.

"Isn't that a third-rate romantic plot in street stall literature? The kind that goes back to your hometown to get married after this battle, and then never comes back." Xiao Hongchen gave Wang Dong a look that made her realize, "As far as I know, Yuhao has read some articles like that, so he won’t say such unlucky words."

"I didn't expect that the eldest son of the Hongchen family would also watch street stall romance, huh?"

Xiao Hongchen dropped the topic as if he was evading: "Okay, you lost the bet anyway, give me your elixir quickly."

Wang Dong gritted his teeth: "I shouldn't have bet with you on when he would confess his love... So how did you guess that he would confess his love before going to the Ice and Fire Eyes?"

"Because I reminded him again when you didn't know." Xiao Hongchen said, "You've been fooled." "So I guess he would have said this earlier."

Wang Dong shouted: "This is a shame!"

Huo Yuhao's voice sounded gloomily behind the two people who were arguing: "What is the bet? Do you want me to hear it?"

Seeing Huo Yuhao, Xiao Hongchen and Wang Dong jumped to both sides like two frightened cats seeing a cucumber.

"Are you here making a bet with me?" Huo Yuhao glanced around with a condemning look. Xiao Hongchen hummed and looked away. Wang Dong hid behind Meng Hongchen, pretending that he was just a pink and blue decorative bonsai. .

Huo Yuhao spread his hands: "Let me see what you bet on?"

"...some elixirs." Wang Dong spoke reluctantly, "You know - I have been working on the core magic circle of the alchemy furnace during the exam recently. Didn't I pass the fifth-level design test just a while ago? I have the teacher’s badge.”

"Teacher Yu said, I have achieved this level, why don't I try to turn the design drawings into reality? I asked Xiao Hongchen to help assemble the shell, and then tried it with some materials that I brought along when I came down from Haotian Sect last time. After a while, the result was pretty good.”

"Xiao Hongchen said that he had contributed a lot and wanted some reward, so I gave him part of the finished product, but then something happened to happen with you, Yuhao... so he came to me to make a bet and took the remaining part as a bet."

At this point, Wang Dong shouted in a very disapproving tone: "I think this is completely an anti-gambling textbook. Damn it, he set a trap for me!"

Huo Yuhao smiled happily: "Are your combined mental ages older than mine?"

"Humph, why not? This is obviously my unilateral use of a trap to crush her." Xiao Hongchen let out a deliberate cold snort at the side, which made Meng Hongchen smile, while Wang Dong looked even more angry.

"Yu Hao, you have to seek justice for me." Wang Dong changed the topic, "I originally planned to share it with everyone, but now he has designed a bet to take away my elixir, and he must want to keep it for himself, Yu Hao, Can you bear this?"

Xiao Hongchen let out a louder snort: "If you really had this intention, you wouldn't agree to my bet with these things!"

Huo Yuhao looked at the two of them and smiled helplessly. Chi Qiu beside him also seemed to enjoy seeing such a scene.

"Ahem." Huo Yuhao clenched his fist and cleared his throat, with a serious look on his face, "The Hongchen Hall Master said that students from the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy are strictly prohibited from gambling. Now you two have been arrested by me! The chips will be confiscated!"

"Who do you think you are?" Chi Qiu couldn't help but smile.

"Of course, I am the judge." After Huo Yuhao said this, he really didn't hold back and burst into laughter that he tried hard to suppress.

"Look, look." Xiao Hongchen also turned around and smiled, and the atmosphere was very relaxed for a moment, "Every cut of Yuhao is black. But the bet can indeed be void, just as you said, Wang Dong, get these finished products Let’s share it with everyone.”

"of course."

Wang Dong touched her storage belt, and several small bottles appeared in her hands.

"Because it is a finished product made from a level five alchemy furnace, it is suitable for people from Soul Sect to Soul Emperor. Coincidentally, everyone is basically at this level of cultivation now. This thing is used to warm and nourish the meridians and consolidate soul power. I don’t dare to do anything with more extreme effects, my level is limited.”

"Sometimes basic things are also important." Huo Yuhao nodded, "This will save us a lot of gold soul coins."

"And the side effects are very low." Wang Dong blinked and seemed to smile at Hongchen intentionally or unintentionally. Huo Yuhao understood what she meant, "After all, it was the thing that allowed me to get No. 1 in the design exam."

She handed the small bottles to everyone, and they all accepted them and thanked her.Huo Yuhao also took out a long soul guide from Ming Yuhuan: "I also have something to give everyone. This is the defensive soul guide I brought. According to Sister Meng's information, the miasma in Sunset Forest is very heavy. Basic defensive soul tools will definitely not work, so it’s better to bring more.”

"I have also prepared defensive soul tools." Xiao Hongchen shook his wrist, and a piece of metallic liquid dripped down and poured into a piece of soul guidance device on the ground. "Please use it if necessary."

"Generally, poisons are afraid of ice and fire. I have also prepared related offensive soul guides." Meng Hongchen took out some soul guides that looked like gun barrels. "The ammunition they fire has these two properties."

Everyone crouched down and picked out what they needed from the soul tools and equipment on the ground. Huo Yuhao looked at this scene and nodded lightly: "Now we just need to wait for Hongchen Hall Master and her to arrive before we can set off."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present felt a chill.In the distance, Yin Shuang was walking leisurely, and his long ice-white hair seemed to be covered with frost and snow, which was very conspicuous.

Even though she was wearing the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy uniform that fit her perfectly, it was still difficult for the uninformed people present to associate her temperament with that of other students.

"Yinshuang." Huo Yuhao waved his hand, "I've been waiting for you for a long time. Is this your first time taking action with us?"

"indeed."

Yinshuang only stood quietly next to the crowd, and her aura was different from that of everyone present.Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen didn't know her true identity, so they only regarded this as the oppression of the only Soul Saint present.
