Chapter 471.1. Your Heart is Too Soft


    Huo Yuhao removed his Imitation and revealed his actual appearance. He nodded lightly and said, Im fine. And you?


    Ju Zi gave him a slight smile and said, Youve seen it  I have been leading the great army into battle. Its not good for me, but its not bad either.


    Huo Yuhao stared at her as she stared back at him, and they went quiet in that instant.


    Ju Zis eyes were very passionate, but Huo Yuhaos were full ofment. A long time had gone by, but he could still remember vividly even now when he brought Ju Zi deep into their of soul beasts and risked their lives.


    Yuhao, are you really the person who destroyed our aerial surveince soul tools? Ju Zi suddenly asked.


    Huo Yuhao nodded in response.


    Ju Zi heaved a sigh and turned around. She gazed in the direction of where her Fire Phoenix Legion and army were camped as she said bitterly, I never thought that those words that I said back then woulde true. The thing I really didnt want to happen finally did. We have finally met again on the battlefield after all.


    Huo Yuhao said, Youre just a girl  why do you have to throw yourself into this war!? You havent you married Xu Tianran? He actually allows you to show yourself outside?


    Ju Zi said inly, He is a person who is very sensitive to danger, and he doesnt even trust the people closest to him  I am the exception, because I saved his life when he was in the most difficult of times. Therefore, he has always trusted me. Our marriage was just a ceremonial process so that he can allow me to do more. You can say that I am his wife, but its more urate to say that I am his most trusted subject. Military power has always been most important in his eyes, so he inserted me into the army. You may not believe me, but when he was severely injured all those years ago, not only were his legs crippled, but hes also infertile. I havent been staying together with him till today.


    Huo Yuhao was astonished when he heard her words. He was an emperor, but he was infertile? If this secret was known to the public, it would probably shake Xu Tianrans throne to its very core.


    Ju Zi chuckled and said, Im telling you all this, and it seems like your status in my mind has surpassed his. But I believe you wont say this to anyone, right?


    Huo Yuhao said, Since you trust me, what else can I say? Im not such a bad person.


    Ju Zi turned around and stared at him again. Im sorry, Yuhao. Even though I am unwilling to meet you under such circumstances, I am very happy to see you alive. Dont fight against me, okay? You will not be my match on the battlefield. Your heart is too soft, and that is especially so for those beside you. Your heart has always been too soft.


    Huo Yuhao frowned as his eyes gradually grew cold. That was because he could see that Ju Zisrge eyes were flickering with decisive emotions.


    Ju Zi, I can take you away if youre willing. I can take you away from the Sun Moon Empire, and you can start an entirely new life. You have personally been through the cruelty of war, so why do you have to bring war to even more people?


    Ju Zis expression changed, and her voice suddenly became shrill. Thats easy for you to say. The Star Luo Empires army killed my father back then and ruined my family, so why dont you say that to their generals andmanders? They destroyed me and everything I had, and I want revenge. I told you a long time ago that the reason why Im still alive in this world is for revenge. Anybody who will help me exact my revenge will be doing me a favor. Xu Tianran is my benefactor, and you  are not!


    Huo Yuhao felt the resentment that was rippling from Ju Zi, and he fell silent.


    They returned to their quiet interaction from before.


    The resentment on Ju Zis face gradually disappeared after a moment, and a faint smile surfaced. Why are we talking about all that after not seeing each other for so long? I dont want such bliss thats so hard toe by disappear like that. Walk away, Yuhao. We have be two parallel lines that are destined to never converge. You have your path, and I have mine. Unless you kill me now, you cant stop me. Nobody can stop me from moving forward, and one day, I will lead the Sun Moon Empires great army to tten the Douluo Continents three empires and conquer the world. There will no longer be conflict on the continent when that happens, and I will rule over this country properly, so that there will be eternal peace.


    Her eyes were full of passion as she spoke.


    Huo Yuhao felt his heart tremble when he heard her words.Rule this country properly  her?


    Ju Zi smiled and stared at the shock in Huo Yuhaos eyes For some reason, I can never hide the words that are deep in my heart whenever Im with you. Perhaps its because you are the only man Ive ever liked in the world. Seems like my choice was right; you have be so powerful now. Youre not yet a Titled Douluo, and yet even though I dont know how youve done it, I can feel that you are far more threatening than typical Titled Douluo to me. Yuhao, if youre willing  if youre willing to help me, when I have conquered the entire continent in the future, I am willing to be the woman behind you. Alright? When that happens, I trust that you will have reached the pinnacle of the human world.


    Youre only twenty years old and yet you already possess such power. Furthermore, youre not like me, because Ive used a lot of medicines and drugs to raise my strength. My senses are very strong, and I can feel the aura of a very powerful individual of our generation from you. You will definitely be a Transcendent Douluo, perhaps even an Ultimate Douluo. Stand by my side, will you? If that happens, I will be filled with hope, and even more fighting spirit. I will definitely attain my goal in an even shorter period of time.


    Huo Yuhao slowly but determinedly shook his head as he gazed into the burning passion in her eyes. Ju Zi, youre right. We are two lines that can no longer converge, and you have your, resolutions while I have my own motivations. Yes, an empire that can conquer the entire continent will bring peace in the future. But have you considered how many lives have to be given in this war to reach this goal of peace?


    Ju Zi said coldly, Sess is paid with lives, and the future has to be built on rivers of blood.


    Huo Yuhao grunted coldly and said, Ju Zi, I didnt expect you to be so cold-blooded. How are you any different from an evil soul master? Even though I dont know what youre going to do in the future, you should know that the Sun Moon Empire is ying with fire by cooperating with the Holy Ghost Church. The Holy Ghost Church has so many evil soul masters, and they are extremely formidable. Their two Ultimate Douluo are the most powerful human beings in the world. Do you really believe that you can control them? In the future, even if the Sun Moon Empire can conquer the whole continent, will these evil soul masters remain silent? Im afraid they will have the same goals as you when that happens.


    Ju Ziughed, and herughter was brimming with confidence. I dont need you to worry about those things. As long as youre willing to be together with me, and help me, I will slowly let you understand my n. The Holy Ghost Church is very powerful, but even the strongest of men have weaknesses. Furthermore, they are a sect. What I control is an empires strength. Do you really believe that individual strength can fight against an entire empire? Be the man behind me, Yuhao. Please? Consider me begging you.


    Ju Zi suddenly became very weak as her words stopped there. Two rows of tears slid down her cheeks as the transparent teardrops swiftly turned into ice and dropped to the ground before they shattered into pieces.


    Huo Yuhao stared at her. There was uncertainty in her eyes, and there was fear  but there was more hope.


    He knew that this was perhaps thest time their destinies would intersect. But could he really do that?


    Huo Yuhao took a step forward as he shook his head lightly. He brought Ju Zi into his embrace and said, Im sorry, Ju Zi, but I cant. You have your resolutions, and I have mine. Even though I am not willing to admit it, perhaps we can only be enemies. After today, I will risk everything to stop the Sun Moon Empires invasion. I wish for peace in the continent, and I will work to that end till the day I die.


    Ju Zi let him hug her. She raised her arms and wrapped them around his sturdy back. She didnt attempt to convince him anymore, and just allowed her tears to flow like waterfalls, and her teardrops turned into ice on her beautiful face.


    The two of them were just hugging each other, and Ju Zi raised her head after a moment as she gently pushed Huo Yuhao away.


    You are the person I am least willing to have as an enemy, Yuhao. Do you know that? Ju Zi said agonizingly.


    Huo Yuhao raised his head into the sky and said, You and me both.


    Ju Zi nodded gently and said, Alright, since youve made your choice, then we can only be enemies after today. Yuhao, have you ever liked me?


    Huo Yuhao trembled before he gently nodded.


    Ju Zi smiled and walked next to him. She ced her arm around his neck as she pressed her lips close to his ear. I guess I have not liked you for nothing. Thank you, and even if youre lying to me, Im still very happy.


    Huo Yuhao heaved a sigh and said, Why would I lie to you? You were the first woman that walked into my heart, but there are just too many hurdles and barriers between us  too many. Ju Zi, you


    Ju Zi suddenly raised her hand and pressed it against his lips. She didnt let him continue. Since we have our own resolutions, then from today onwards, can we stop attempting to convince each other? We will both work hard on our own paths. Perhaps, several years or even decadester, when one of us has achieved our goal, everything will be different. Dont you think so?


    Huo Yuhao gently nodded. He knew that any attempt to convince her would be futile.
