The development of events to this point was something Huo Yuhao hadn't anticipated when he arrived, but regardless, he had gained a huge advantage. His martial soul and soul rings weren't lost, and he even gained a wife for free.

"Alright, she won't be out for a while. You should absorb these ten-thousand-year Ice Marrows first," Xue Di suddenly reminded him as Huo Yuhao was lost in thought.

Snapping back to reality, Huo Yuhao didn't question her. Soul beasts were the experts in this area, so he immediately grabbed a piece of ten-thousand-year Ice Marrow and began absorbing it.

However, compared to Bing Di and Xue Di, the amount Huo Yuhao absorbed was the least. After absorbing the eighth one, he knew that he had reached his limit.

At that moment, Huo Yuhao's soul power also increased to level forty-six. The energy of the ten-thousand-year Ice Marrow was sealed within his body, to be slowly digested later.

There were a total of forty-five ten-thousand-year Ice Marrows. Xue Di consumed fifteen, Bing Di absorbed eleven, Tianmeng nine, and Huo Yuhao eight, leaving two remaining.

"Xue Di, you should absorb the remaining two," Huo Yuhao said to Xue Di.

Xue Di slightly shook her head. "No need, what I've absorbed is already enough for me to cultivate to nine hundred and ninety thousand years."

"What? This thing is that powerful?" Huo Yuhao was somewhat surprised. Fifteen pieces could raise Xue Di from seven hundred thousand years to nine hundred and ninety thousand years. That was simply unreasonable.

"Haven't you already sensed it? Ten-thousand-year Ice Marrow is good, but it also depends on who uses it. Bing'er and I are both top-tier ice-attribute soul beasts, so we benefit more."

"I see," Huo Yuhao realized.

Tianmeng: "…"

It seemed like she hadn't said anything, so why did she feel looked down upon?

After placing the egg that Bing Di had transformed into within the Purple Chain, the two left the cave dwelling. They didn't take the remaining ten-thousand-year Ice Marrow, mainly because there was no way to preserve it for a long time. Even Xue Di's extreme ice seal was useless. Helpless, Huo Yuhao could only let it continue to grow there, to be taken when needed in the future.

After bidding farewell to Nan Shuishui, Huo Yuhao opened the Gate of Space and returned to the Far North with Xue Di, arriving at Xue Di's palace.

Before leaving, Huo Yuhao took out the egg that Bing Di had transformed into. "Xue Di, tell Bing'er after she comes out not to look for me. I'll come to see her when I have time."

Xue Di slightly raised her eyebrows. He was calling her so affectionately; was he not pretending anymore? "Why is that? And why aren't you taking her with you?"

"There are many Title Douluos within the sect. I'm worried they might be detrimental to Bing'er. I don't have the ability to protect her completely right now."

Huo Yuhao had thought about this issue when Bing Di started transforming. As the saying goes, wealth moves people's hearts. There were also factions within the Body Sect, and it wasn't as united as it seemed on the surface.

With a four hundred thousand-year soul beast right in front of them, who wouldn't be tempted? Huo Yuhao knew his own limitations. His burst of battle power in a short time was only enough to arm wrestle with a level ninety-one Title Douluo.

The main issue was insufficient soul power, making it impossible to wear down the opponent. However, after successfully condensing his soul core, it had increased again. Now, Huo Yuhao wasn't afraid of low-level Title Douluos. Even if he couldn't defeat them, he could easily retreat unscathed.

As for Dai Hao's defeat and escape last time, it was entirely due to Dai Hao's carelessness, and at the time, Dai Hao's attention wasn't on Huo Yuhao, so it could be considered a sneak attack.

Upon hearing this, Xue Di didn't say much. She flipped her hand and threw something out.

Huo Yuhao caught it and saw that it was a bracelet made of twelve stars strung together, with an ice-blue color. The material was unknown, but Huo Yuhao noticed that it was imbued with the power of space and mental power.

Before he could ask, Xue Di explained, "If you encounter danger, crush it, and I can arrive at any time."

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao understood. This was the Douluo version of a pager. The mental imprint inside the ice lump could be seen as a signal transmitter. Once the mental imprint was destroyed, Xue Di could sense it.

And the power of space was equivalent to positioning coordinates, allowing Xue Di to find Huo Yuhao's exact location.

Huo Yuhao had also used similar methods, applying them to Ye Lingling, but Ye Lingling's was a passive measure. Huo Yuhao would only be alerted when Ye Lingling encountered a life-threatening danger.

"Thank you," Huo Yuhao didn't decline and accepted it. After all, this was a Limit Douluo bodyguard; anyone who didn't want it would be stupid.

Wearing the bracelet on his hand, Huo Yuhao felt a strange sensation. Being given a bracelet by a woman was truly…

As he looked at it, Huo Yuhao suddenly revealed a smile, an idea forming in his mind. He stretched out his hands, and the silver halo representing the power of space flickered uncertainly in his palms.

Gradually, the light transformed into strands of silver threads, weaving and interlacing with each other.

Xue Di curiously observed, not understanding what Huo Yuhao was trying to do. In her view, the silver light threads eventually took shape above Huo Yuhao's palm, transforming into a silver-white small ring.

Xue Di was inwardly amazed. To be able to condense the power of space into a physical object, this guy's mastery of the power of space had truly reached an extraordinary level. It was incredible, unimaginable.

Huo Yuhao walked towards Xue Di step by step. The latter didn't speak, quietly watching him.

Under Xue Di's puzzled gaze, Huo Yuhao arrived in front of Xue Di, then gently grabbed her left hand, and then placed the silver ring on the middle finger of Xue Di's left hand.

Seeing this, Xue Di finally realized what was happening. This was clearly a ring. Good fellow, she had been taken advantage of for no reason.

The way rings are worn and their meanings: the thumb signifies power and status. The index finger represents being single, with the expectation of love arriving. The middle finger represents being engaged or in love, meaning declaring ownership.

The ring finger indicates being married or in a passionate relationship. But if it's worn on the little finger, it means being single, a non-marriage advocate.

There are slight differences in wearing rings on the left and right hands, but they are largely the same.

"Xue Di, tell me, do I have a chance to make you fall into the mortal world?" Huo Yuhao whispered, while kneading her smooth and delicate jade hand. He admitted that he coveted Xue Di's body. There was nothing wrong with admitting it; who wasn't a pervert at heart?

Xue Di didn't react much, withdrawing her hand and stroking the large emerald green egg beside her. She coldly said, "Now that Bing'er has separated from you, what do you have to threaten me with? You still dare to be so presumptuous. Tell me, should I beat you to death, or beat you to death, or beat you to death?"

After speaking, Xue Di slowly turned her head to look directly at Huo Yuhao, only to see that the Gate of Space behind the latter had already opened. Just as she turned her head, Huo Yuhao had already plunged into the Gate of Space and fled.

Xue Di was stunned, then smiled. It seemed that this guy had planned it all along. A long-distance Gate of Space couldn't be activated instantly.

Looking at it, a smile suddenly appeared on Xue Di's delicate face. In that instant, a hundred flowers paled, the world dimmed, and even the surrounding ice and snow seemed to melt, making people's souls intoxicated. Unfortunately, such a beautiful scene could not be appreciated by anyone.
