Chapter 228: Let’s Call It Seer
“Pa~ Pa~ Pa”
“Hey, wake up.”
On the beach near the Ice Sea in the Extreme North, Huo Yuhao casually patted the white belly of the Hungry Shark in front of him, and the crisp sound echoed around the beach.
“Splash~”
Ice-cold seawater accompanied by the sound of tides washed away the bloodstains on the white little shark’s body.
When Huo Yuhao fished her out from the Demon Emperor’s hands and threw her onto the Ice Sea beach, he had used Spiritual Detection to check her condition.
It was not a big problem, just the spine broken into eight sections, the heart shrunken due to immense pressure, the liver burst open, intracranial hemorrhage in the brain, and the right fin completely missing.
At that time, Huo Yuhao looked at the missing right fin and felt it was quite a pity; it would have been better to cut it off back then to make soup.
These mere fatal injuries were child’s play in front of Huo Yuhao’s Reverse Cursed Technique; he healed her completely in ten minutes and regrew the fin as well.
The bone-chilling tides sucked at the heat in Bai Xiuxiu’s body like vampires, and the cold gradually awakened her dormant will.
Her lifeless eyes gradually regained their luster, as the deep blue sky and the bright light of the Extreme North reflected into Bai Xiuxiu’s eyes.
“Did I… survive…”
The coldness of the Ice Sea seawater and the sensation of rough sand grains rubbing against her skin flooded into the Sea of Consciousness all at once.
She instinctively twisted her body, gritted her teeth, preparing to accept the pain from all over her body—these pains could remind her not to forget those painful memories.
Unfortunately, aside from the friction of the rough sand, there was no extra sensation anywhere on her body.
It was as if those memories were just a dream, a terrifying hallucinatory dream caused by eating a ton of Drunken Fish Mint.
In fact, nothing had happened in the Arctic Ocean; the Demon Soul Great White Shark Clan was still happily roaming in the water, and her mother was still waiting for her to come back for dinner.
As she thought about it, tears welled up in Bai Xiuxiu’s eyes. The Shark Pearl belonging to her mother inside her body constantly told her that those were not illusions, but hellish reality!
She now had nothing left.
At that moment, Huo Yuhao’s big face filled Bai Xiuxiu’s entire field of vision.
“Yo, you’re awake.”
“Why are you shedding little pearls?”
“Cheer up; for treating you, I used quite a few Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.”
“The value of those Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures combined could buy your life.”
“Your life is mine now; you need to work for me to redeem yourself, got it?”
Huo Yuhao lied without any guilt, luring the ignorant girl—well, perhaps a girl.
Bai Xiuxiu’s tears kept flowing uncontrollably, her originally pleasant female voice now hoarse.
“Good person?”
“I have nothing left.”
“All my family is dead.”
“Mother, she…”
Huo Yuhao sat on the beach beside her; wet sand stuck to his Black Trench Coat. He patted her fish belly—this thing had a particularly good texture.
“Nothing left?”
“Aren’t you still alive?”
“Being alive means you don’t have nothing left.”
“Being alive means possibility, means there’s still a chance for everything in the future.”
“Only death means truly having nothing left.”
“Stepping back, your mom probably wouldn’t want to see you like this, so cowardly.”
“A fish should act like a fish.”
“Live well, and when you become strong in the future, you can seek revenge.”
“Don’t tell me you want to go die right now; your life is mine now.”
Huo Yuhao didn’t want his future guide to have any suicidal thoughts, though he could understand the mentality of this Hungry Shark.
After all, among the few present—Hungry Shark, Huo Yuhao, Snow Empress, Water Dragon King, Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, Ilex, even Golden Tortoise—the seven existences couldn’t muster a complete set of biological parents.
On the path to becoming strong, one always loses something; it’s an unavoidable price.
Bai Xiuxiu held back her tears, slapped Huo Yuhao’s hand off her belly with her fin, her voice still slightly choked.
“Mm, thank you.”
“What do you want me to do?”
Huo Yuhao looked at the endless Ice Sea and said:
“I want to see what’s on the other side of the sea.”
“Haha, wrong script.”
“I want to go to other continents; do you know the way?”
Bai Xiuxiu sniffled a few times and said to Huo Yuhao:
“I know.”
“My clan and I have been there before.”
Huo Yuhao looked down at her and said:
“That’s good.”
“Lead my fleet there, and that will count as redeeming yourself.”
Bai Xiuxiu nodded lightly, though it was unclear exactly how a shark managed such a motion.
“Mm.”
The beach fell into quiet silence, and soon Bai Xiuxiu took the initiative to speak:
“Good person.”
“After redeeming myself, can I continue following you?”
Huo Yuhao looked at this great white shark. Her words were not beyond his expectations. A child who had lost everything, forced to be exposed in the law-of-the-jungle ocean—especially with enemies in the sea—would naturally instinctively seek reliance.
“Of course, do as you like.”
Bai Xiuxiu gratefully looked at Huo Yuhao and gently rubbed his leg with her shark head.
“Thank you!”
“By the way, can you tell me how I got to the Ice Sea?”
Huo Yuhao replied softly:
“You know the answer in your heart.”
“I won’t say more.”
Hearing Huo Yuhao’s words, Bai Xiuxiu silently recited in her heart the title of that majestic figure she saw before passing out.
“Omniscient and omnipotent, The Above All Things, Spirit Master.”
“Thank you for your mercy! You are truly a kind god.”
Bai Xiuxiu looked back at Huo Yuhao and said:
“Can you send me back to the sea?”
“I want to break through to Hundred Thousand Year.”
“That way I can help you better.”
Huo Yuhao slightly sensed her cultivation; it was rising at a visible speed—probably due to what her mother left behind.
“Of course.”
“But are you sure?”
“Hundred Thousand Year Heavenly Tribulation is not simple.”
Bai Xiuxiu said seriously to Huo Yuhao:
“I can do it!”
“I can achieve it!”
“I want to transform into human form!”
Huo Yuhao stroked her head, looking at the sea, and said:
“Decided?”
“Giving up your long life for extremely strong cultivation talent.”
This time, Bai Xiuxiu shook off Huo Yuhao’s hand and said solemnly:
“Decided!”
“I want revenge!”
“If I keep my Soul Beast body, I’ll never be able to take revenge!”
“Transforming into human form gives me a sliver of hope!”
“Anyway, Mother and the others are gone; a long lifespan has no meaning anymore.”
Huo Yuhao used Telekinesis to throw Bai Xiuxiu back into the sea, stood up, and said loudly:
“Remember to get familiar with your fin first.”
“I just regrew it for you; it might feel unfamiliar.”
Bai Xiuxiu extended a white fin in the sea to indicate she understood.
Huo Yuhao patted the sand off his clothes and walked toward a large canyon behind the beach.
“Teacher, you’re back.”
“Is everything settled?”
Huo Yuhao nodded to the busy Su Tong and said:
“Mm.”
“Handled.”
“The guide issue is also resolved.”
“Is everything ready?”
Su Tong opened the Magic Net, pulled up a picture of a large open area, and said:
“All prepared.”
“The personnel and large shipbuilding equipment needed for the Shipyard are all ready; we can teleport anytime.”
“Many of these people were once shipwrights from the Sun Moon Empire, proficient in various ship Soul Tools and Diving Soul Tools.”
“After training by enthusiastic researchers, they quickly understood the usage methods of the new equipment.”
“The Sun Moon Empire doesn’t value these shipwrights much; after seeing the generous treatment from Enthusiasm, they brought one along, then two, and came here.”
“Loyalty is not a concern either; Enthusiasm Members in the Sun Moon Empire have already screened them.”
“Those confirmed as spies were all sent to the Maid Coffee Shop.”
Huo Yuhao looked at the many workers standing ready in the picture and said:
“Good, I’ll open the passage now.”
“Where are A Xue and A Shui?”
Su Tong said to Huo Yuhao:
“The two sisters went to gather Extreme North Soul Beasts to help with construction.”
Huo Yuhao lightly tapped his finger in the air, and Colored ripples suddenly appeared in this giant canyon.
Dazzling Colored lights were fantastical and gorgeous.
Then, through the [Dream] Authority, he contacted Adam to bring everyone over.
Adam, who had received the news early, also opened Colored ripples at the Shipyard location; the Colored ripples engulfed the entire open area, pulling people and equipment entirely into the Dream Space.
Adam brought the Shipyard leader, whose face still held a shocked expression, before Huo Yuhao and said:
“They’re all in the Dream Space.”
Huo Yuhao looked at the Shipyard leader and said:
“Adam should have told you the specific details and confidentiality matters.”
“Starting today, you are responsible for the Extreme North Shipyard and the construction of Enthusiasm’s first ocean-going Soul Tool warship.”
“Whatever resources you need, just tell Adam on the Magic Net; resources are not an issue.”
“You must complete the construction as quickly as possible!”
The leader immediately saluted Huo Yuhao and said respectfully:
“Yes!”
“With complete facilities and abundant resources, we are confident in completing the research and construction of this ocean-going warship within three months.”
“Leader, would you name Enthusiasm’s first ocean-going warship?”
Huo Yuhao thought for a moment and said:
“A name?”
“The Flying Henan People?”
“Hahaha, forget it, just call it Seer!”
“Seer?”
“Yes!”
The leader chewed on this strange name, committing it to memory firmly; the leader’s naming must have profound meaning!
At that moment, Snow Empress and Water Dragon King also arrived with a large number of Extreme North Soul Beasts.
Leading them was the Titan Snow Demon clan. Huo Yuhao looked at Titan Snow Demon King and said:
“A Tai.”
“Assist him in moving all the Shipyard equipment out, then build the Extreme North Shipyard by the Ice Sea.”
Titan Snow Demon King nodded and looked toward the Shipyard leader beside him.
This leader’s legs were trembling; though he was a Soul Saint, facing the hundred-meter-class Titan Snow Demon King without kneeling on the spot already showed strong mental resilience.
Huo Yuhao patted his shoulder and said:
“Young man, don’t be scared.”
“Small scene.”
“Lead these Soul Beasts to move out the equipment; they will obey your commands.”
Titan Snow Demon King’s deep voice also reached the leader’s ears:
“Human, let’s go.”
“Time is tight, task is heavy!”
“Don’t waste the Emperor’s time.”
After saluting Huo Yuhao once more, the Shipyard leader called these terrifying Soul Beasts toward the Dream Space.
He could already imagine the shocked expressions his old buddies would have.
He thought he had overestimated Enthusiasm’s power as much as possible, but unexpectedly, the great leader could even command Extreme North Soul Beasts! This time, he had come to the right place!
Enthusiasm not only paid generously and promptly, but also provided abundant resources and new shipbuilding equipment; even their families had been brought to Xilu City to live, with Enthusiasm providing free houses.
Children could attend school for free in Xilu City to receive education.
No wonder when living in the Sun Moon Empire before, many said Xilu City was the true civilized world; he had scoffed at it back then, but now experiencing it personally, he realized they had been quite conservative.
While these Soul Beasts went in to move the equipment, Adam walked up to Huo Yuhao and said:
“Father, some things have happened recently that you need to know about.”
“Two new guests have arrived on the Continent.”
