SWNOVELXO Chapter 91: Chapter 98: Revive! My Beloved!
After many verifications, and even with Bi Ji taking action, they finally came to a conclusion that was difficult for everyone to accept—
That is, Huo Yuhao's second martial soul, the Immortal Spirit Wood, had the ability to suppress soul beasts.
It was not out of bloodline, but the immortal spirit qi and natural aura attached to the martial soul suppressed the life origin power of soul beasts on an energy level.
By the same token, this second martial soul of Huo Yuhao's also had a suppressive effect on beast martial soul soul masters.
And Huo Yuhao's third martial soul was still in the process of evolving after integrating the Ice Empress's origin. The attached divine weapon, the Rakshasa Scythe, had also been sent back to the furnace for reforging and was temporarily unusable.
After venting all the excess origin soul power, Huo Yuhao finally no longer had the previous feeling of being bloated. The bad news was naturally that the move was a flash in the pan. Before both of Huo Yuhao's martial souls had accumulated up to seven rings, he probably wouldn't be able to use the Armored Sage Buddha.
In this regard, Huo Yuhao was not greedy. A person's strength needed to be cultivated step by step. Now that he had mastered so many cheats, he needed to spend a considerable amount of time to thoroughly understand these abilities.
Right now, he still had one last thing he needed to do.
Huo Yuhao came to Zhongli Yu's side. Her internal and external injuries were extremely severe. Bi Ji and Gu Yuena had joined forces, but had only managed to stop her bleeding and repair her wounds, and then use pure life energy to hang on to her sliver of life, so that she wouldn't die at the first moment.
Huo Yuhao gently pulled the beautiful woman into his arms. Zhongli Yu's pale face had not a trace of blood. Before falling into a deep sleep, the Ten Thousand Demon King had already taught him the method of transferring injuries. This secret method could only be used by a human who had obtained the Immortal Spirit Wood martial soul.
"You take this," Di Tian threw a metal object towards Huo Yuhao. He had also just received confirmation from Xiong Jun that the hundred-thousand-year Golden Tortoise had indeed secretly bitten off a piece of Life Gold from the bottom of the Lake of Life.
Di Tian was a Beast God who kept his promises. He took a small piece from it and gave it to Huo Yuhao. This would be of great help to him in the upcoming grafting of Zhongli Yu's injuries.
"Rest assured. Since my soul beast lineage has promised to help you become a god, we will naturally try every means to protect your life," Gu Yuena assured Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao nodded. He began to channel his soul power according to the circulation route of the secret method, then bent his head down and captured that bit of red cherry.
As the soul power circulated, the ghastly wounds on Zhongli Yu's body's surface gradually healed until they disappeared, replaced by snow-white, smooth skin.
At the same time, identical wounds appeared on the corresponding positions on Huo Yuhao's body's surface. Bi Ji quickly took action, starting to treat Huo Yuhao. Compared to treating Huo Yuhao after all the injuries were transferred, it was undoubtedly much better to start the treatment during the process of the injuries being transferred.
Huo Yuhao switched to his second martial soul. His forehead was covered in fine, cold sweat. He couldn't imagine how much pain Zhongli Yu had endured in that one instant. Just transferring a part of the injuries made him ache so much he almost fainted.
Skin tearing, bones dislocating, muscles ripping, organs rupturing...
"Yuhao, you can't hold on! An injury that would be fatal even for her, a Titled Douluo—even if you transfer while treating, it's not something a mere Soul Ancestor like you can withstand!" Bibi Dong really couldn't watch anymore and couldn't help but scold him.
"Your Majesty, I have said that one day I will make this world feel pain on your behalf. If I have never experienced pain, how can I inflict pain upon the world?"
Huo Yuhao said with a bitter smile, "I think, if it were you lying here now, I would do the same."
Listening to Huo Yuhao's serious words, Bibi Dong's eyes couldn't help but turn red. She roared with all her might, "Huo Yuhao! You absolutely must not die!"
On the other side, Bi Ji, who was responsible for the treatment, was also moved by Huo Yuhao's persistence. She increased the intensity of her treatment, even at the cost of consuming a trace of her own origin.
How could Gu Yuena not see that the kind-hearted Bi Ji was consuming her origin for the treatment? She sighed softly, waved the silver staff in her hand, and drew majestic life energy for Bi Ji to supplement her lost origin force.
Huo Yuhao only felt a shattering pain all over his body. He gritted his teeth against the pain and released a reassuring emotion to the few existences in his spiritual sea.
"How about we think of something happy?"
Huo Yuhao's eyes gradually lost focus. Even so, he continuously comforted the few in his spiritual sea. "For example..."
"Revive! My—be—lov—ed—"
Huo Yuhao shouted out with his own spiritual power in an exaggerated tone, which immediately made Bibi Dong, who could share his memories, laugh through her tears.
Gu Yuena and the Beast God Di Tian had no idea what the meaning of Huo Yuhao's strange shout was. They were just so embarrassed they could have dug the entire Star Dou Great Forest out with their feet...

It's unknown how long it took, but Zhongli Yu finally woke up slowly. Her first reaction was that she was already dead and in the underworld, and would never be able to see her grandfather, her home in the Holy Ghost Cult, or the youth she loved most again.
Thinking of this, tears couldn't help but well up in her beautiful eyes. She raised her hand towards the sky and made a virtual grasping motion, as if wanting to grab something.
The snowflakes dancing in the sky floated down onto her face. The icy feeling made her instantly sober up. Her heart couldn't help but turn cold, and she immediately sat up.
In front of her were two women and one man. Especially that man, who was staring at her with a look of extreme disgust.
"Where is this?" Just as Zhongli Yu was about to ask, she unexpectedly touched something with her arm. She hurriedly turned her head to look.
Then her eyes widened in shock.
On the ice surface around her were patches of dark red bloodstains, as if caused by the gushing blood from a ruptured body. She had been lying in this pool of blood just now, yet there was not a single bloodstain on her body.
A body was lying silently beside her. Zhongli Yu was all too familiar with this physique, with which she had once been frank and open with each other. It was just that, from his body, Zhongli Yu could not feel a single trace of life.
Zhongli Yu couldn't believe everything before her. She tremblingly stretched out her hands and turned the body over. What she saw was that familiar face, and those eyes that had lost their focus.
"He transferred your injuries to himself. There probably isn't much aura left now. Whether he can live or not is up to fate," Gu Yuena walked up to her and placed a pendant on Huo Yuhao's chest. It was an oval-shaped silver scale.
"If he can recover to normal after he survives, you give this thing to him."
After speaking, a silver light flashed from Gu Yuena's body, and she disappeared in front of Zhongli Yu and the other, along with Di Tian and the other two beasts.
After a long while, Zhongli Yu finally tremblingly brushed away Huo Yuhao's bangs. Seeing Huo Yuhao's appearance as if he couldn't die in peace, she finally couldn't help but let out a heart-wrenching, miserable scream.
She was an evil soul master. She clearly loved to see others die in her hands like this. The pervasive crimson red was like a red carpet laid out for her, and she was the queen who walked among the resentful spirits.
But, when the subject was changed to Huo Yuhao, why did her heart hurt so much, as if it were being torn apart inch by inch?
Having just recovered, she couldn't even muster a trace of soul power, let alone heal him.
"Holy Son, why—"
Tears couldn't stop flowing from Zhongli Yu's beautiful eyes. She grabbed Huo Yuhao's hand and gently placed it on her own cheek, letting the bloodstains dye her skin.
She suddenly laughed, lay down straight beside Huo Yuhao, and rolled and frolicked in the pool of blood, letting her favorite snow-white dress be dyed red by the bloodstains.
It wasn't until her dress had completely turned red that she gently sat up, held Huo Yuhao's face with her blood-stained hands, her eyes obsessed.
"Darling, look, this will be my wedding dress. Isn't it beautiful, so tragically beautiful?"
Zhongli Yu stared at Huo Yuhao's face. Her previously smiling expression suddenly turned into a pitiful look. "Why aren't you talking? Isn't Yu'er beautiful?"
As she spoke, she gently slit her wrist with her sharp fingernails. For a moment, blood flowed like a spring. But she took out two cups from her storage soul tool to catch it, and only then did she seal the wound on her wrist.
Zhongli Yu lifted one of Huo Yuhao's arms and linked it with her own arm on the same side. "Darling, after drinking this cup of cross-cupped wine, Yu'er will live and die with you, never to be separated—"
Zhongli Yu was the first to drink this cup of "wine." But in his current state, Huo Yuhao was clearly unable to drink. She unhurriedly held the other cup in her mouth and passed it to him.
Zhongli Yu's injuries had just recovered, and her face was also pale. The cross-cupped blood dyed her cherry lips a layer of crimson red, looking incredibly strange.
"From this moment on, Yu'er is your wife."
"Ahhh—what a shy-making title..." Zhongli Yu pathologically pulled Huo Yuhao into her arms. "I so want to wait until you recover, to hear you call my name... kiss me... hug me..."
Zhongli Yu finally completely released her true nature, infatuated and crazy. She lifted Huo Yuhao's unconscious body and danced with all her might on this snowy peak, letting the biting cold wind blow on their two bodies.
Zhongli Yu was, after all, a half-step Titled Douluo-level expert. In less than a moment, she had recovered a little soul power. She used this small amount of soul power to build an ice house on the top of the snowy peak. After setting up a soul tool cold-proof shield, she stripped off all of her and Huo Yuhao's clothes.
"Husband, on our wedding night, you must cherish Yu'er..."
As she spoke, tears once again welled up in Zhongli Yu's beautiful eyes. She placed Huo Yuhao flat on the temporarily made bed, and she followed, pressing herself against him and quickly pulling up the blanket.
"You have to get better quickly... If you die, Yu'er will go and kill soul beasts for revenge. For every day you are gone from this world, Yu'er will kill one soul beast. For every year you are gone from this world, Yu'er will kill three hundred and sixty-five soul beasts..."
In Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, Bibi Dong, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, and Electrolux all watched this scene dumbfounded. A chill ran from the top of their heads to their tailbones.
"Is this the 'yandere' Yuhao mentioned?" the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's mouth twitched non-stop as it asked, trembling.
