Chapter 471.2. Your Heart is Too Soft


    Ju Zi cupped his face in her hands as she stared into his eyes from as near as they could be. She stroked his face tenderly as she felt the warmthing from his cheeks, and her eyes were covered with moisture once more.


    I cant bear to leave you, do you know that? She said gently.


    Huo Yuhaos body shook, but he couldnt say anything at all.


    He did like Ju Zi before, but his heart now truly belonged only to Donger. Furthermore, even if Donger hadnt appeared, he couldnt go against his principles for Ju Zi. However, his heart was truly aching so, so much in this moment.


    I want to kiss you  may I? Consider it a farewell kiss. Ju Zi said softly.


    Huo Yuhao was momentarily stunned. Ju Zi stepped forward against his body without waiting for his response as her ice-cold but moist lips pressed tightly against his.


    Her lips were soft and fragrant. Huo Yuhao was a normal man, and especially because of the atmosphere they were in, he really couldnt push her away.


    Subtle intoxication coursed over his body, and Huo Yuhao suddenly felt as if his entire being was immersed in this feeling. Even his spirit began to feel a little lost in the next moment.


    Eh? Huo Yuhao grunted softly, and his eyes suddenly widened, because he could clearly feel that something wasnt right.


    Ju Zi was still kissing him, and she smiled gently.


    Her lips parted as she said, Dont try to struggle. This Infinite Intoxication has no antidote. Its not poisonous; it will only make you sleep for a little while. I love you, Yuhao, really. I love you. You will be the only man that I will ever love in this life.


    Huo Yuhaos body gradually slid into her arms along with her soft and fine words.


    TheInfinite Intoxicationwas too strong. Huo Yuhaos spiritual sea was almost instantly cut off by that strange drug, and he couldnt evenmunicate with his four formidable Spirits. His consciousness slowly left him, and only a bitter smile remained on the corner of his mouth.


    Ju Zi is right  my heart is just too soft.


    Ju Zi ced him carefully onto the ground as she sat quietly beside him. She raised one of his arms and rested against it as she curled herself up against his chest.


    Snow and ice was everywhere around them, but the Extreme Norths low temperature didnt affect the burning passion in her heart at all.


    She had been waiting for this day for far too long. The feeling of curling up in his arms was wonderful.


    Waves of warmth emanated from Ju Zi and spread over both of their bodies to fight against the severe cold around them. She was just lying there, silent and enchanted, enjoying this rare blissful moment.


    Fifteen minutes passed as shey there motionless, and there was only happiness on her face.


    She slowly sat up from Huo Yuhaos embrace after fifteen minutes, and the warmth, tenderness, and bliss on her face was gradually substituted by iciness.


    She gradually stood up as she stared at Huo Yuhao beside her. She muttered, I did say that your heart was too soft, especially towards people you like. But why do I just like that about you? I can feel that you will be an enormous threat to my future ns, and I should kill you at this time. Killing you can resolve the only remaining soft emotions in my heart, and I can eliminate a great threat at the same time.


    Ju Zi flipped her wrist as she spoke, and a spike that was yellowish all over appeared in her grip.


    Murderousness flickered in her eyes, butsted but a moment before she smiled.


    He wont kill me, so how can I kill him? His heart is soft, and mine is cold, but my heart melts only when I am with him! Youre so foolish. No matter what, I will not hurt you. Do you know that? As long as youre alive, I will not go insane. That bit of tenderness in my heart is what I treasure the most. Not only will I not hurt you  if somebody else hurts you, I will kill that person no matter who he or she is.


    She tapped the tip of her foot gently against Huo Yuhaos waist as she spoke, and flipped Huo Yuhao onto his side.


    She squatted down beside him and stared at him seriously. After few moments, she raised the yellow spike and thrust it ferociously towards Huo Yuhaos waist.


    Cold wind billowed.


    The sky was already bright when Huo Yuhao came to from his ckout.


    Daytime in the Extreme North was a lot shorterpared to the inner maind. The sky was alreadypletely bright at this point, but it still looked very dim.


    Huo Yuhao swiftly sat up and nced down at himself subconsciously. He didnt feel anything different.


    He looked around him, and everything was just snow and ice; Ju Zi was long gone. However, the soul tools that Huo Yuhao had detected that generated heat were ced in a circle around him. These were the things that had been giving him warmth before.


    Even though he possessed Ultimate Ice and wasnt afraid of the cold, he couldnt help but feel a wave of warmth flow through his body when he saw those soul tools that generated heat.


    Haih, Ju Zi!


    Huo Yuhao stood up and gazed in the direction of the Sun Moon Empires great army. He shook his head exasperatedly, but his gaze quickly turned to one of determination.


    Im sorry, Ju Zi. You have your targets, but I have to stop you. I cannot let you achieve your goal. If we meet again on the battlefield, perhaps that is our destiny.


    Yuhao, she is right. Your heart is too soft. If she wanted to do something bad to you, you would have died a hundred times over. A shadow flickered as the Snow Empress glimmered soundlessly beside him.


    He snapped around at the Snow Empress, and saw her displeased look.


    Huo Yuhaos four Spirits were powerful, but their existence depended on Huo Yuhao, after all. During the previous night, after Huo Yuhaos spiritual sea was blocked off by that sinister Infinite Intoxication, his four Spirits couldnt channel his strength no matter how worried they were. They couldnt evene out because his spiritual sea was shut off.


    Im sorry, Snow Empress, Huo Yuhao forced augh as he spoke.


    The Snow Empress said inly, You dont have to apologize to me. Your softheartedness has led you to your current dire situation. That woman is dangerous. If you can, killing her is the best choice.


    Huo Yuhaoughed bitterly and said, I cant do it. Ju Zi has saved my life before. I


    The Snow Empress waved him off and didnt let him continue. If you cant do it, then dont interact with her so closely anymore. What do you intend to do next?


    Huo Yuhao answered, I will continue investigating what this army is here to do. They havee so far into the Extreme North, and it cant be that theyre here to deal with me. They must have some other objective. I will discover their objective, and then I will stop them.


    The Snow Empress thought for a moment, then said, Thats not difficult. This is my home, and its also the Ice Empress home.


    Huo Yuhaos eyes glowed as he heard her words. What do you mean, Snow Empress.


    The Snow Empress said, You should wait until you find out what they want. Otherwise, we cant do anything against them.


    Alright, Huo Yuhao acknowledged.


    Even though he was softhearted toward Ju Zi, he was never unclear about the bigger picture. He wouldnt give up on his own goal just because Ju Zi was themander of the Sun Moon Empires army.


    Huo Yuhao ate some dry rations and readjusted himself to make sure that his body was alright before he travelled in the direction of where the Sun Moon Empires army was camped.


    He had confidence. Even if the army was gone, he could still track them using any traces they had left behind with his abilities.


    However, the Sun Moon Empires army was still there, and they were still camped where they were the previous night. Furthermore, the soul engineers and soldiers were starting to get busy. They were still building based on the foundations of the trap they had set for Huo Yuhao the previous day, but he didnt know what they were doing.


    Huo Yuhaos eyes closed into slits as he watched them hustle around, and he began to think. It seemed like this ce was their destination. But what could they be doing in a ce like this?


    He had learned his lesson, and he wouldnt go in to investigate anymore. Furthermore, even if he did, he had to be especially careful. He wasnt interested in causing damage right now, as finding out the Sun Moon Empires objective was more important.


    Huo Yuhao observed quietly in the snow and ice, and a day passed just like that.


    There were a lot of soul engineers participating in thebor, while their machines worked very quickly. They took but one day to finish the base of their constructions over five hundred square meters. A certainrge machine attracted Huo Yuhaos attention.


    There was a drill-like thing beneath this enormous machine. This drill was more than five meters in diameter, and it was constructed by hoistingponents into ce. This machine was veryrge, and the metal pirs from before formed the foundations for its construction. Some stabilizing mechanisms were built with those metal pirs as the skeleton.


    What are they trying to do, exactly?


    Huo Yuhao was very suspicious.Are they trying to drill into the ground? But what can be beneath the ground?


    An idea came to Huo Yuhao as he contemted.Underground? What can be underground? There can only be one answer  resources!


    Can it be that there are some resources in the Extreme North that the Sun Moon Empire needs? Or


    Huo Yuhao did not continue observing from where he was, but ran further away and soared into the sky.


    He had been following the Sun Moon Empires army over these days, but he had always been doing everything from the ground. His field of view would be a lot wider if he flew into the sky, and perhaps he could discover something then.


    The chilly air was sharper, and the temperature even lower. However, those conditions didnt affect Huo Yuhao. He didnt have to use the Snowy Dance of Ultimate Ice; he only needed the Domain of Perpetual Ice to form ayer of protection around him, and that was sufficient.


    Huo Yuhao gazed down as he flew high into the sky, and he quickly discovered some problems.


    There were some barracks established twenty-five kilometers from where the Sun Moon Empires army was camped. That area should be within the Dou Ling Empires territory. The Heavenly Soul Empires territory was in the other direction, and there seemed to be some old structures about ten kilometers out. The Sun Moon Empire was currently camped between those two areas.
