Chapter 253.3. Yearning Heartbroken Grass


    Wang Qiuer could clearly see his frustrated and worried look. A thought crossed her mind as she stomped her right foot on the ground, and her body bolted forward.


    Wang Qiuer was unrivaled amongst others of the same level in terms of explosiveness over short distances. Huo Yuhaos flying-type soul tool still had an eleration process, and he was only just speeding up before Wang Qiuer arrived behind him and grabbed his shoulder.


    Dont mess around, Wang Qiuer. I really have something important to do! Huo Yuhao eximed angrily.


    Wang Qiuer was equally furious. Im messing around? Stop finding excuses for yourself. You took advantage of me yesterday. Youre going to let it go just like that?


    Huo Yuhao had to drop back to the ground because of her forceful pressure. He shook his body vigorously and broke free from Wang Qiuers grip.


    Wang Qiuer, I really have something very urgent to attend to. Ive already said that you can do anything you want to me when I return. Is that not enough? Huo Yuhaos voice was solemn and intense.


    Wang Qiuer was momentarily stunned. This was the first time she had seen Huo Yuhao like this, and she asked doubtfully, Even the color of your face has changed. Whats up?


    Huo Yuhaos expression was truly discolored. His face was pale and tinged with green  his expression was as dark as it could get.


    Huo Yuhao shook his head and said, This has nothing to do with you. Theres a ce that I have to go to, and I have to go right now. I cant dy for another second. Thats it. He turned around and prepared to leave as he spoke.


    Wang Qiuer blocked his path in a sh. You cant leave unless you exin it to me.


    Huo Yuhao clenched his fists, and his next words were squeezed out from between gritted teeth. My patience has its limits, Wang Qiuer. Dont think theres nothing I can do against you.


    Wang Qiuer grunted coldly and said, You have the confidence to defeat me? Come, try it!


    Huo Yuhao was momentarily stunned. He knew that he couldnt fight Wang Qiuer right now, as he had to retain his strength to search for that medicine to help Donger. He took a deep breath and suppressed the wrath in his heart, and he tried his best to make his voice gentler. He lowered his voice and said, Alright, Ill exin. A friend of mine is severely injured, and I need to find an herb to save her life  to save her life, do you understand? I must find this herb, and her life might be in danger for every second that I waste, and if Im toote... So, I beg you  please step aside and let me go, right now!


    He was close to shouting when he got to thest two words.


    Wang Qiuer was slightly taken aback when she listened to his exnation. She frowned and said, Will it be dangerous?


    Huo Yuhao said decisively, I have to go even if I have to venture into the depths of Hell. Ive already exined it to you, so please dont stop me any longer. Otherwise, I will no longer treat you as a friend. He began to move once more as he spoke.


    Huo Yuhao! Wang Qiuer blocked him yet again with a sh.


    Huo Yuhao was truly infuriated this time, and he immediately unleashed his Spirit Eyes, while his Eye of Destiny appeared at almost the same time. He knew that he would have to use his Eye of Destiny to defeat Wang Qiuer.


    Dont misunderstand me. Im not trying to stop you from saving her  let me go with you. You will have a greater chance with one more person tagging along. Give me one of those flying things. Wang Qiuer exined.


    Huo Yuhao was almost about to fire off his Spiritual Shock, but he paused as he stared at Wang Qiuers eyes, which were full of sincerity. He didnt think too much about it, and said, Alright then. He took out a reserve flying-type soul tool and passed it to Wang Qiuer as he spoke.


    Wang Qiuer took the soul tool, then she asked a little embarrassingly, This how do I wear this?


    Huo Yuhao was rendered speechless. This girl doesnt know a thing about soul tools! He was far too worried, but he couldnt afford to piss off this girl before him. He had taken advantage of her yesterday, and that gave him a guilty conscience. Furthermore, he wasnt entirely confident of defeating Wang Qiuer if they actually fought.


    He felt a little helpless as he stepped forward and helped Wang Qiuer put the flying-type soul tool on as he briefed her on how to use it. With that, he soared into the sky and infused as much soul power into his own flying-type soul tool as he could before he raced towards the east as fast as he could.


    Huo Yuhao felt a lot better once he was surging through the air. He wasnt that concerned about Wang Qiuer not being able to catch up  it would actually be better if she couldnt, as that would save him a lot of trouble. Even if she could, she would be of great help with her abilities. The only thing in his mind was to reach his destination as quickly as possible, and he couldnt be bothered with anything else.


    This was Wang Qiuers first time interacting with soul tools. However, one had to admit that she was very adaptable  she was a little unstable when she first took off, but she quickly mastered the flying-type soul tools controls. Huo Yuhao had already be a small ck dot on the horizon at this point.


    Wang Qiuer was a Soul Emperor after all, and she was a lot stronger than Huo Yuhao in terms of cultivation. She figured out the important parts before she began to speed up as much as she could, and she determined Huo Yuhaos direction of flight as she swiftly pursued him.


    There wasnt much cover in the sky, and Huo Yuhao had no intention of concealing his movements. Wang Qiuer flew through the air for a while before she gradually closed the distance.


    This soul tool is quite interesting  it can actually fly through the air at such rapid speed. Interesting, interesting. Wang Qiuers expression was filled with curiosity, and she continuously felt the transformations in her flying-type soul tool as she sped through the air.


    Huo Yuhao was flying in front, but he didnt have to turn back to look. He activated Spiritual Detection and immediately sensed Wang Qiuer, who had already caught up with him.


    Youre quite adaptable, huh? Follow me, then.


    He didnt bother with Wang Qiuer anymore as he began to study the map.


    The map clearly marked out the geographical rtionship between Shrek Academy and his destination. The destination was within the Heavenly Soul Empire, and he had to travel east from Shrek Academy all the way to the Heavenly Soul Empires Heaven Dou City, and then he would have to continue northeast. There was a ce there where soul beasts resided, called the Setting Sun Forest.


    The Setting Sun Forest paled inparison to the Great Star Dou Forest, and it was inferior both in reputation and in surface area. However, this was still a forest inhabited by soul beasts. His final destination was located right within this Setting Sun Forest.


    Huo Yuhao didnt seem like he had to rest at all. He used a Milk Bottle to replenish his soul power, while he channeled as much as he could. Wang Qiuer behind him had voluminous soul power, and she relied on her impressive cultivation to finally catch up to Huo Yuhao after two hours.


    Hey, dont you have to rest? Wang Qiuer snapped. They were flying at such breakneck speed that speech was extremely difficult, and they had to release soul power to protect their faces before they could speak.


    Huo Yuhao nced at her and handed her a Milk Bottle. You can gradually channel soul power inside, and soul power will bounce back to you. You just have to absorb that, and you can replenish your soul power.


    Wang Qiuer had no experience with flying-type soul tools, but neither was she averse to using them. She took the Milk Bottle and attempted to use it in the way Huo Yuhao had described, and she suddenly felt a clean and pure energy flow into her body, and her soul power was swiftly restored.


    This this can restore soul power? Your soul tool research has reached this level? Wang Qiuer asked with a look of astonishment.


    Huo Yuhao wasnt in the mood to exin anything else, so he snapped, Even if youve never tasted pork, Im sure youve at least seen a pig before. Do you not know about Milk Bottles?


    Wang Qiuer grunted coldly and said, All I can see is a pig flying in the sky.


    Huo Yuhao extended two fingers and said, Two pigs.


    You! Youre the pig! Wang Qiuers face flushed red.


    Huo Yuhao stopped talking because he had to conserve energy and focus on flying; Shrek Academy was quite far away from Heaven Dou City. They continued flying for another two hours, but then began to feel a little fatigued, even though they had Milk Bottles to replenish their soul power.


    Wang Qiuer realized that he was ignoring her and shot him a re. She grunted coldly and said, Who is it exactly that youre trying to save?


    Huo Yuhao didnt respond.


    Hey, Im talking to you! Wang Qiuer nudged him.


    They were flying rapidly through the air, and Huo Yuhao was startled and almost lost his bnce. He red at her and said, Just do it if you want to kill me. Can you stop spouting nonsense? Im getting frustrated!


    You Wang Qiuer was just about to erupt, but she held herself back for some reason. She grunted again, but said nothing more.


    ------


    The sky was already bright at this moment. It was a new day, and two very important people were suddenly missing from Shrek Academys inner courtyard.


    Yuhao? I havent seen him. Didnt you send him backst night? Bei Bei stared in confusion at the frustrated Wang Donger before him.


    Wang Donger had woken up early in the morning, and gone to Huo Yuhaos room to see how he was recovering, while she also hoped to listen to his exnation about what had happened the previous day.


    But to her surprise, Huo Yuhaos room was empty when she arrived. His bed was messy, while he himself was nowhere to be seen.


    Hes not in his room, eldest senior brother. Ive already searched around the inner courtyard, hes nowhere to be seen. Wang Donger was worried. She was sad, but she was more concerned with Huo Yuhaos safety. Huo Yuhao had disappeared without a trace, and he didnt leave a note or anything behind  how could she not be worried?


    Xu Sanshi saidzily, Perhaps Huo Yuhao feels like theres no way he can ount to you for what happened yesterday, and so he ran away. Could he have eloped with Wang Qiuer? Hehe.


    Wang Donger was infuriated. If you spout any more nonsense, third senior brother, our friendship is over.


    Bei Bei red at Xu Sanshi and said, Stop making things worse. Little junior brother should have said something to Donger even if hes out on official business. He has left without a trace, and thats quite problematic. Dont worry, Donger. How about this: Ill look for Elder Xuan, and Ill ask him if hes assigned Yuhao anything, and then well search carefully inside the academy for him. Its still very early in the morning, so he cant have gotten far.
