Chapter 34 Popsicles

One year later.

In a deserted open space outside Tiandou City, two figures stood opposite each other, and next to Huo Yuhao, there were more than a dozen large pits that still emitted amazing heat.

Looking at Huo Yuhao, who was standing unsteadily, Gu Yuena stretched out her pink little tongue and licked the ice stick in her hand that was constantly emitting cold air. Feeling the sweetness and coldness spreading from the tip of her tongue, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly and asked softly.

"Do you want to continue?"

Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, and the golden vertical eye on his forehead had become a little uncertain. He slowly raised the White Tiger Dagger in his hand and slowly closed his eyes.

"For the last time."

Gu Yuena did not speak again. She gently waved the silver-emitting magic staff in her hand, and a huge fireball with a diameter of half a meter appeared out of thin air and rushed towards Huo Yuhao at a rapid speed.

With the help of mental detection, even with his eyes closed, Huo Yuhao could still observe the fireball in detail, but at this moment, another picture appeared in his mind.

Both the orange-red fireball and the entire world became gray. As Huo Yuhao's mental power was consumed crazily, bright cracks finally appeared on the fireball.

In an instant, Huo Yuhao moved. He took two steps in an instant and stabbed the White Tiger Dagger towards the fireball without any protection, as if he didn't care about the damage the fireball would cause him.

A strange scene happened. The fireball, which was emitting terrifying high temperature a second ago, suddenly collapsed after being immersed in the White Tiger Dagger, as if it had never existed. Even the scorching heat wave that was enough to distort the air disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Seeing this scene, Huo Yuhao showed joy on his face. After countless attempts, he finally succeeded.

The tingling sensation that came over him made his eyes black, so he simply lay on the ground with his legs spread out, looking at the sky and gasping for breath.

As the footsteps kept approaching, the white skirt broke into Huo Yuhao's sight, with a faint fragrance like orchid.

"Incredible ability."

An ethereal voice sounded, and Gu Yuena lifted her skirt slightly, squatted down, and showed half of her white calves exposed under her long skirt, which were slender and straight.

Looking at Huo Yuhao, who looked like a salted fish, she couldn't help but stretch out her white fingers to poke his cheek.

Listening to Gu Yuena's evaluation, Huo Yuhao pulled the corners of his mouth, unable to hide the joy in his heart.

"After all, it was exchanged for death once, how could it not be powerful. It was not easy, but finally succeeded."

With the help of Gu Yuena, his proficiency in the fate of death has been rapidly improved in the past year. As early as several months ago, Huo Yuhao discovered that the fate of death can not only act on living beings, but also on various energies, which means that he can completely use this ability to break the attack coming towards him.

But because it takes a while to concentrate on seeing the cracks, it is difficult to use it directly in the ever-changing battle, so in the days to come, he has been training to shorten this time as much as possible.

Just now, he was finally able to use this skill in a high-speed battle.

Gu Yuena pursed her lips, looked up at the setting sun, and said softly, "It's almost dinner time. Didn't we say we have to go to the clinic later?"

"Oh, right."

Huo Yuhao, who almost forgot that he had business to do, finally reacted, but feeling the soreness in his limbs, his throat rolled and an awkward smile appeared on his face.

"Ahem, maybe we have to wait a little longer."

Gu Yuena didn't say anything, but handed the popsicle in her hand to Huo Yuhao, "Do you want to eat it?"

"Hmm?"

Huo Yuhao was stunned when he saw the popsicle with some crystals on it. Before he could react, the popsicle had been stuffed into his mouth.

"You look thirsty."

With an inexplicable fragrance, the cool sweetness spread in his mouth. Huo Yuhao subconsciously took a sip and indeed felt that his physical condition had eased a lot.

"Ahem, thank you."

At this point, let's just eat the popsicle first

"No need to thank me, you bought it."

One hour later.

The two came to the clinic again. It had been three years since Huo Yuhao first came to Tiandou City. Because Huo Yun'er and himself had improved significantly, the frequency of buying medicine had also decreased again and again.

When he entered the clinic, the middle-aged man who had received him before came to greet him. He first glanced at Gu Yuena, then looked at Huo Yuhao with an ambiguous expression, and the hand hidden in his sleeve secretly gave him a thumbs up.

Good boy! It's never the same every time you come!

"See you again, little brother."

Huo Yuhao's eyelids twitched, pretending not to see the other party's actions, and handed the note with the name of the required medicinal materials to the middle-aged man.

"This is the medicinal material I want to buy this time."

Different from the previous treatment of hidden diseases, this time the medicinal materials are mainly for health preservation. The middle-aged man took the note and simply scanned it. He couldn't help but look up at Huo Yuhao, and he had a deeper understanding of the medical knowledge of this young man.

He nodded, "The medicinal material store has them. I'll get them for you."

Just as Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena were staring at each other while waiting, there was a sudden movement at the door of the clinic.

Huo Yuhao subconsciously looked back and saw a panicked girl walking in quickly. After looking around, she stopped an apprentice of the clinic and said anxiously.

"Hello, where is my mother now?"

The girl was dressed simply, with delicate features, eyebrows like distant mountains, eyes full of spring water, and deep black-purple hair like waves. Although she didn't look old, she was already very tall, especially her beautiful legs, which were slender even through her trousers.

The apprentice was stunned for a moment when he saw the girl, and then seemed to remember her identity. He turned around and led the way, "You are Jiang Nannan, right? Please follow me."

"Do you know her?"

Gu Yuena's voice sounded in his ears, and Huo Yuhao nodded gently, "I know her, but she may not know me."

His eyes followed Jiang Nannan's back all the way, and his voice was a little puzzled.

"But why is she here?"

"The girl's mother has some heart problems."

Huo Yuhao looked over and saw the middle-aged man who had just picked up the medicine was walking towards him with a few bags of medicinal materials, but his eyes fell on Jiang Nannan's leaving back, and he sighed softly.

"Her mother was suddenly sent to us by her a year ago. The situation is very complicated. Many doctors in our clinic have seen her, but they all said they were helpless and could only try to alleviate the symptoms."

Speaking of this, the man paused and looked at Huo Yuhao.

"I see that you have some knowledge of medical theory. Are you interested in helping?"
