Chapter 378 The So-called Destiny (Part 1)

Dragon Valley Secret Realm

With the joint help of the Mountain Dragon King and Huo Yuhao, Qiu'er's eighth soul ring gradually condensed and took shape, presenting a gorgeous rose gold color. Against the backdrop of many black ten thousand year soul rings, it emitted a brilliant light.

Destiny Soul Ring

The Qi, Blood and Soul Ring that belongs only to Qiu'er.

Qiu'er was still consolidating her eighth soul ring at this time, with her eyes closed and regulating her breathing.

Huo Yuhao showed a faint smile on his face.

He immediately clasped his fists and bowed towards the skeleton of the Mountain Dragon King.

"Thank you for your blessing, senior."

If it weren't for the help from the Mountain Dragon King, Qiu'er's current bloodline strength would be far from being able to condense a qi, blood, and soul ring.

The Mountain Dragon King looked at Huo Yuhao with mixed emotions.

He possesses the status of a God King, but lacks the corresponding cultivation.

What kind of monster did the Silver Dragon King bring?

Although He had many questions in His heart, He could not speak.

In response to Huo Yuhao's gratitude, He simply responded indifferently.

The spiritual fire in the eye sockets of the Mountain Dragon King extinguished, and the remaining soul fell into a temporary sleep.

The valley was once again peaceful.

Huo Yuhao looked at the silent valley and then at Qiu'er who was practicing with her eyes closed in the valley. A faint smile appeared on his face.

Just at this moment, Qiu'er opened her eyes from her practice and a hint of surprise flashed across her face.

When she saw Yuhao's doting smile, she couldn't help feeling a little warm in her heart.

Huo Yuhao stretched out his hand towards her and lowered his head with a smile.

Qiu'er held his hand and stood up from the ground.

"My eighth soul ring seems to have become a little special." Qiu'er looked up at the shining eighth soul ring above her, its rose gold color was gorgeous and attractive.

Huo Yuhao raised his finger and tapped lightly between her eyebrows.

"Ah~" Qiu'er covered her forehead in pain.

A crack appeared between Huo Yuhao's eyebrows, revealing his Eye of Destiny, which was glowing with a mysterious glow.

Qiu'er blinked her eyes that looked like red glass, a little surprised, and with that little expression, it seemed as if she was asking "How come you have three eyes too?"

“Destiny Soul Ring, have you noticed any changes?” Huo Yuhao asked with a smile.

"He has two special soul skills, but they are both spiritual." Qiu'er said seriously.

"One is called 'Destiny's Sorrow', which can make all non-soul defenses of the enemy ineffective."

"The other one is called 'Soul Deprivation', which can make all mental defenses ineffective." Qiu'er looked as if she was recalling and repeating something.

"These are exactly the same as the two soul skills I gave you back then." Qiu'er said with a smile.

Huo Yuhao, who was originally smiling, froze when he heard these words.

Qiu'er's heart tightened, realizing that she had said the wrong thing, and she quickly reached out and grabbed his sleeve.

"Okay, I was just teasing you. Who told you to always..." Qiu'er wanted to explain something, but she didn't know how to defend herself.

Huo Yuhao held her in his arms, very tightly.

Although she was almost unable to breathe, her heart gradually calmed down.

"I'm sorry, okay? I won't mention it again." Qiu'er said softly.

"It was my fault that I failed to protect her. Those memories are more like a burden to you. I was too selfish." Huo Yuhao's eyes were slightly red, his voice was a little choked, and his body couldn't help but tremble.

He had failed her after all.

The girl who held the dragon spear and led them to fight their way through the bloody battlefield.

Qiu'er is Qiu'er, and she is her.

The past cannot be undone, and everything goes back to the time before it happened. He seemed to have changed everything, and he seemed to have a perfect life, but in the end he was unable to save himself from the defeat.

He was not reconciled.

In an era that does not belong to him, he cannot bear the loneliness and enters Qiu'er's world ahead of time, bringing her advanced memories.

What on earth have I done!

Deep down, does she hope Qiu'er can become someone like her?

Or, who do you want her to be?

What can your interference change?

He is just a madman who is left behind in the old times and can't stand the loneliness.

It seems that you are in control of your destiny, but in fact you are being played by fate.

“Qiu’er, remember, you are you. You are not her, and you don’t need to become her.” Huo Yuhao’s voice was trembling.

"I will protect you, just ignore those things, okay?"

"Yeah." Qiu'er nodded softly.

She carefully kept everything hidden deep in her heart.

She found that Yuhao's mental state was extremely bad, and any extra words she said at this moment might be the last straw that broke the camel's back.

She had seen that the death of "her" had dealt him a heavy blow.

He has always kept "her" in his heart.

The way he is nice to me and his feelings for me also come from "her".

Although that "she" is my future self.

But in her heart, it always felt a little weird.

She would rather regard that "her" as her sister, and she is just the one who inherited "her" appearance, life experience, background and the person she loves.

Am I a "thief"?

But, she really liked him a little.

He rushed in with tears on his face, like a child.

At that time, she just thought that this person was so weird.

In later contacts, he always said some inexplicable things.

Obviously, he mistook himself for someone else.

Until she saw those fragments of memory.

The scene was so real that it didn't seem fake.

But...she had never experienced or been exposed to anything.

What is heart palpitations? What is pain?

Why did “she” offer sacrifice?

Why could “she” still laugh at the end?

She saw a lot, but she didn't understand and couldn't empathize.

She realized that this person thought of her as "her".

Although, she is indeed the three-eyed golden lion, the emperor's auspicious beast, she is also protected by the Red King and knows Di Tian and Sister Biji.

But she is who she is.

With subsequent contacts, she found that she gradually began to understand what it meant to love someone.

She also began to feel those memories.

I think I'm kind of falling in love with him.

"Qiu'er, we...I will always protect you."

"I will protect you." Huo Yuhao murmured repeatedly.

"Yeah." Qiu'er replied softly.

After that day, Huo Yuhao fell ill for unknown reasons.

High fever, convulsions, delirium

His mental state is somewhat abnormal and his behavior is disordered.

Qiu'er takes care of him personally and guards him all the time.

Huo Yuhao was in a daze, half asleep and half awake, holding Qiu'er's hand and muttering to himself.
