Chapter 172: Chapter 170: The Tang Family’s Future Granddaughter-in-Law Is Going to Become a Soul Spirit
Shi Dongsheng nodded, sighing with emotion. "It's definitely suitable. Little Huo, don't worry, I, Shi Dongsheng, will never reveal this to the outside world. I'm honestly eager to witness the realization of your incredibly powerful soul spirit system."
Huo Yuhao looked at Shi Dongsheng's firm gaze, then gave a faint smile. He turned to glance at Meng Hongchen, silently seeking her opinion with his eyes.
He would ensure that the soul spirit contract was completely safe for Meng Hongchen. Otherwise, he would never allow her to be the first to sign such an experimental contract.
Meng Hongchen smiled sweetly and expectantly.
"I trust you. Yuhao, this way, I'll become the first person in the world to have a soul spirit!"
"Don't worry, Senior Meng. I'll make sure you're safe."
Huo Yuhao nodded to her with a gentle smile, then shifted his gaze toward the unconscious, heavily injured Demon Soul Great White Shark.
"Anyway, a soul spirit contract is an equal contract. First things first, we need to wake her up."
As he spoke, Huo Yuhao frowned slightly. The princess of the Demon Soul Great White Shark tribe didn't seem to be merely unconscious due to exhaustion or blood loss. He noticed a strange red glow flickering faintly in her slightly open eyes and furrowed his brows deeply.
Just as he was feeling puzzled, the all-knowing Electrolux within his spiritual sea offered an answer.
'She's been cursed. This looks like a case of spiritual corruption. Some evil being implanted a powerful obedience curse into her mind. After suffering severe injuries, the evil energy inside the curse began leaking out, causing her to fall into a coma. I'm afraid this body is already beyond saving. I can force her awake for now, but her death is only a matter of time. The external wounds can be healed, but that evil energy buried in her body continues to erode her spirit. The only way she can continue to exist in this world… is by forming a soul spirit contract with that little girlfriend of yours.'
After hearing Electrolux's words, Huo Yuhao simply nodded in silence and let him attempt to awaken the consciousness of the Demon Soul Great White Shark princess.
Just what kind of existence could have caused such a fate for a princess protected by a hundred-thousand-year-old Demon Soul Great White Shark elder?
At the same time, faint strands of gray mist began to rise from Huo Yuhao's body. In the deep blue background of the ocean, the mist was almost invisible. It slowly floated out through the protective film of the underwater soul tool, drifting to the shark's forehead, and then instantly burrowed inside.
The moment the mist entered, the Demon Soul Great White Shark suddenly convulsed violently, churning the surrounding seawater and sending ripples spreading in every direction. Her originally half-closed eyes snapped open, revealing a pair of terrifying blood-red eyes.
The sudden outburst startled both Meng Hongchen and Shi Dongsheng.
"What's going on?" they both thought. But upon seeing the calm expression on Huo Yuhao's face as he stared at the shaking shark, they understood. They hadn't done anything—this must be his doing.
The trembling of the shark gradually subsided, and the eerie red in her eyes began to fade. When she finally stopped shaking, her eyes became clear again. She let out a hoarse but crisp sound.
While the Demon Soul Great White Shark was still in a dazed state, not fully conscious, Huo Yuhao quickly undid the iron chains binding her and tossed them aside.
If such a proud princess were to wake up fully and see herself bound in chains and being observed like a caged animal by humans, it could easily leave a terrible impression—and that might affect the soul spirit contract.
Under Electrolux's cleansing force, the Demon Soul Great White Shark's consciousness gradually cleared. When she saw the humans in front of her, she instinctively tried to flee—but her injuries made that impossible.
Though she didn't have the ability to speak like a human, as the princess of her tribe, she possessed special abilities that ordinary soul beasts lacked. As the deep blue mark on her forehead lit up, all three humans heard a weak but clear and pleasant female voice in their minds.
"Humans... what happened here? What did you do?"
She was using spiritual power to communicate with Huo Yuhao and the others. She must have noticed the countless floating corpses of sea soul beasts in the surrounding waters. The horrifying scene filled her with fear and dread.
In truth, many of her memories were missing due to the influence of the evil energy that had taken control of her mind. She had no idea she had even taken part in a sea soul beast raid on humans.
Shi Dongsheng and Meng Hongchen were both surprised that the shark could communicate with them. Huo Yuhao patiently explained everything—what had happened here, the current situation she faced, and the possibility of becoming Meng Hongchen's soul spirit to continue living.
After listening to Huo Yuhao's explanation, the Demon Soul Great White Shark fell silent for a long while. Her once bright eyes dimmed and shimmered with tears. Then, through spiritual transmission, she began to tell them her own story.
'I am the princess of the Demon Soul Great White Shark tribe. I lived happily with my parents. But the Deep Sea Devil Whales—our mortal enemies—often harassed us, disturbing our peaceful life. I remember that our tribe was attacked by a large force led by the Deep Sea Devil Whale King. Then… I lost consciousness. I don't know what happened to my parents. I don't even know how I ended up in these unfamiliar waters. And now, I'm facing death. In such a pitiful state... what other choice do I even have?'
Hearing her heart-wrenching story, the three of them were left in deep silence. Her life had indeed been full of hardship.
But a major attack by the Deep Sea Devil Whales? That definitely wasn't part of the original storyline. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been a granddaughter-in-law of the Tang family who transformed into a human form 20,000 years later.
'Just where did the timeline go off track?'
Huo Yuhao couldn't figure it out.
"I'm sorry, Princess. Your death is inevitable. That strange and evil red force has rooted itself deep in your body, dragging you step by step into the abyss. Your current state of clarity is just a fleeting moment brought on by outside help."
Facing the deeply saddened and confused princess, Huo Yuhao delivered the sentence with cold finality, without a shred of softness.
