Chapter 341 The Ring on the Ring Finger
Two hours later.
Ye Qifeng strode out of Huo Hong's dean's office.
Although his negotiations with Huo Hong were somewhat complicated, they went relatively smoothly and the outcome was quite good because Huo Wu was there to help.
While Ye Qifeng and Huo Hong were talking.
Huo Wu sat quietly to the side, listening to the conversation between the two. She was very sensible, neither offering her opinion nor speaking up for Ye Qifeng.
However, her presence had an unseen influence on Huo Hong and provided assistance to Ye Qifeng.
Huo Hong dotes on his daughter and always thinks of her when considering things.
Therefore, in his negotiations with Ye Qifeng, while seeking benefits for the Soul Master forces represented by Blazing Fire City, he was also considering the happiness and future of his daughter, Huo Wu.
After all, Ye Qifeng is his daughter Huo Wu's sweetheart and the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, holding a prestigious position. If his daughter marries him in the future, she will definitely marry into the Spirit Hall.
If Blazing Fire City can gain access to the Spirit Hall through Ye Qifeng, it will be extremely beneficial for both Blazing Fire City and her daughter, Huo Wu.
However, although Huo Hong was somewhat tempted by Ye Qifeng's proposal to have Blazing Fire City join the Spirit Hall, he ultimately did not agree directly.
After all, the vast Blazing City isn't something he can decide on his own.
Although he is the city lord of Blazing Fire City, the dean of Blazing Fire Academy, the patriarch of the Fire Clan, and the strongest person in the entire Blazing Fire City, he wields great power and possesses formidable strength, enabling him to determine the direction and future of Blazing Fire City.
But it also requires that the people below be convinced and of his will.
Therefore, he needs to discuss with the other administrators of Blazing City, Blazing Academy, and the Fire Clan before he can make a final decision.
In addition, the attitudes of Tianshui City and Shenfeng City must also be considered. After all, the three elemental cities are closely connected, sharing weal and woe, and their fates are intertwined.
If they really want to break away from the Heaven Dou Empire and instead join the Spirit Hall, it would be best if all three elemental cities joined together.
As long as the soul master forces of the three elemental cities—Blazing Fire City, Heavenly Water City, and Divine Wind City—are united, their safety will be better guaranteed, and they will also be able to obtain more benefits from the Spirit Hall.
As for whether the two forces of Tianshui City and Shenfeng City are willing to join forces with Chihuo City to submit to the Spirit Hall, we will have to find out after the three major families of Fire, Water, and Wind sit down together and discuss it.
Therefore, Huo Hong did not directly agree to Ye Qifeng's proposal and request, but he did not refuse either. He only said that he would consider it.
Ye Qifeng didn't care much about this, or rather, it was within his expectations.
He could completely understand Huo Hong's concerns.
The Soul Master forces of Blazing Fire City are considered a powerful force in their own right. Even when facing the Spirit Hall, they have a certain level of confidence. How could they so easily submit or pledge allegiance?
That's unrealistic.
However, Ye Qifeng believed that Huo Hong would make the right decision.
Even if he doesn't make the right choice, Ye Qifeng will find a way to make him make the right choice.
When the Spirit Hall unifies the Douluo Continent in the future, those spirit master forces that do not submit and obey will eventually be wiped out under the general trend, with only one in ten remaining.
If Blazing Fire City does not choose to side with the Spirit Hall, but instead chooses to join the Heaven Dou Empire and stand on the opposite side of the Spirit Hall...
Therefore, under the onslaught of the Spirit Hall, Blazing Fire City will inevitably face destruction and loss of life, and be swept into the dustbin of history.
Ye Qifeng didn't want to see this happen, nor did he want Huo Wu to be heartbroken because of it.
Fortunately, Huo Hong didn't completely rule out the possibility of a definitive answer.
Furthermore, Ye Qifeng was explicitly informed that Blazing Fire City could not join the Spirit Hall alone. If it truly wanted to submit to the Spirit Hall, it would have to do so together with the three elemental cities: Heavenly Water City and Divine Wind City.
This coincided with Ye Qifeng's idea.
He naturally also had his own ideas about the other two elemental cities, Tianshui City and Shenfeng City.
If possible, they should all be brought under the command of the Spirit Hall to strengthen its power.
just
Tianshui City and Shenfeng City are different from Chihuo City.
Ye Qifeng has little connection with these two elemental cities, making it difficult to find a good reason to persuade Tianshui City and Shenfeng City to join the Spirit Hall.
If Huo Hong were to act as a liaison point, connecting the Spirit Hall, Tianshui City, and Shenfeng City, it would be a good option.
Starting with Blazing Fire City, we can leverage the close relationship between the three elemental cities to win over Skywater City and Divine Wind City, which might be easier.
Anyway, there shouldn't be any problems in Blazing City. With him handling things personally, there's nothing to worry about.
By the way, he also has an ice-attribute immortal herb, the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass, which he can use to win over Shui Bing'er, the top genius of Tianshui Academy in Tianshui City.
Shui Bing'er's martial soul is the top-tier ice-attribute beast martial soul, the Ice Phoenix. Her talent and aptitude are no less than Huo Wu's, and may even be stronger.
Such a genius is indeed worth the Spirit Hall's efforts to win him over.
Could it be that we should start with Shui Bing'er, like Huo Wu did, to win over Tianshui City?
Ye Qifeng thought about it and decided to forget about it.
The reason he initially tried to win over Blazing City by starting with Huo Wu was because an accident created a connection between him and Huo Wu, so he naturally chose to do it this way.
Shui Bing'er from Tianshui Academy in Tianshui City had nothing to do with him.
Although in my memory, this girl was also very admirable, with a calm, steady, rational, and kind nature.
But Ye Qifeng was not familiar with her, had never met her, and did not know whether she was really like that in real life.
Although Ye Qifeng's plan also included giving the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass to Shui Bing'er so that she would pledge allegiance to the Spirit Hall and serve its purposes.
However, since Tianshui City has not yet been brought under the command of the Spirit Hall, this matter can only be put on hold for now and will be discussed later.
As for the efforts to win over the two elemental cities, Tianshui City and Shenfeng City.
Just hand it over to Teacher Bibi Dong.
With the teacher's wisdom and methods, it shouldn't be difficult to subdue the soul master forces of Tianshui City and Shenfeng City.
According to the original course of fate.
The three elemental cities of Blazing Fire City, Skywater City, and Divine Wind City were not successfully subdued by the Spirit Hall, and were therefore subjected to strong suppression by the Spirit Hall. They had no choice but to merge with Thunder Academy, which belonged to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, to form the Four Elemental Academy.
Ultimately, under the intimidation of Bone Douluo Gu Rong and Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, it was swallowed up by Shrek Academy, leaving not a trace.
Originally, the Spirit Hall failed to subdue Blazing Fire City, Heavenly Water City, and Divine Wind City, presumably because the Spirit Hall did not take them seriously and did not value them.
Now, due to the influence of Night Seven Wind, their destinies have taken a completely different turn.
With Ye Qifeng pushing things from behind, the three elemental cities of Blazing Fire City, Heavenly Water City, and Divine Wind City will eventually be subdued by the Spirit Hall.
Watching Ye Qifeng's figure disappear through the doorway, Huo Hong's gaze was incredibly complex, his eyes glazed over, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.
He glanced at his daughter, Huo Wu, his eyes filled with affection, a sense of relief welling up within him. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly:
"My daughter has such good taste! She actually took a liking to Ye Qifeng and even managed to win him over. She's amazing! She truly is my daughter!"
"Father, your daughter is leaving now."
At that moment, Huo Wu's clear and melodious voice rang out in the office.
Huo Hong was slightly taken aback, then suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but grin secretly, feeling a sudden resentment towards a certain handsome and dashing brat.
He finally nodded helplessly and waved gently at Huo Wu:
"Okay, go ahead."
Then, Huo Wu stood up straight from her chair, took long strides, walked out of the dean's office, and quickly chased after Ye Qifeng's figure.
After Huo Wu left.
Huo Hong turned his head and glanced at his son, Huo Wushuang, who was still standing to the side. For some reason, he suddenly felt a surge of anger.
"Let's go, get back to cultivating!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Wushuang was completely dumbfounded.
He didn't do anything wrong, so why does he have to endure another beating?
Could it be that his father was unhappy and was deliberately taking it out on him?
Huo Wushuang wanted to argue back.
But upon seeing his father Huo Hong's obviously irritable face, he shrank back, too intimidated to resist, and could only weakly say:
"Yes, Father!"
Soon after.
On a battle arena at Blazing Fire Academy.
Accompanied by the resounding thuds of sandbags being struck, melodious wails and cries of pain suddenly echoed throughout the entire academy.
Sensing that Huo Wu was chasing after them from behind.
Ye Qifeng stopped and waited for her.
Soon, Huo Wu caught up with Ye Qifeng, quickly came to his side, took his arm, and hugged him affectionately.
She seemed to have run too fast; her breathing was rapid, and a fine layer of sweat appeared on her smooth forehead.
Seeing this, Ye Qifeng reached out and wiped her face, asking as he did so:
"Huo Wu, I just suggested to City Lord Huo Hong that Blazing Fire City should be brought under the banner of the Spirit Hall. Will you blame me?"
Huo Wu's eyes flickered slightly as she pondered.
After a moment, she shook her head, her long, wine-red hair swaying in waves. She parted her red lips and uttered two words:
"No, it's not my fault."
Ye Qifeng was taken aback at first, then smiled slightly, without asking her why, and suddenly said:
"Fire Dancer, hold out your hand, I have something good for you."
Huo Wu's eyes lit up, and without thinking, she immediately stretched out her right hand.
Ye Qifeng glanced at her hands; her palms were as white as jade, and her fingers were as long and slender as green onions.
Huo Wu's martial soul is the Fire Shadow, which is based on herself. It is a beast martial soul, and she is naturally strong. In addition, due to years of training, her figure is also quite fit.
However, she did not use weapons, so her small hands remained as soft and delicate as tofu.
Then, Ye Qifeng placed a silver-white ring in her palm and introduced it in a gentle tone:
"This is a storage soul guide ring, with a storage space of approximately one cubic meter."
"Inside the ring, I placed a Holy Son Token, which symbolizes the Holy Son status of the Spirit Hall. With it, you can move freely anywhere within the Spirit Hall, even in Spirit City."
After a pause, Ye Qifeng continued:
"In addition, I also placed two top-grade spiritual herbs inside the ring. These were specially prepared for you to absorb the fourth ten-thousand-year soul ring and can be used to resist the soul shock of the ten-thousand-year soul ring."
"Of these two top-grade herbs, one can enhance mental power, and the other can protect it. Just refine and absorb them before hunting for the soul ring."
"I have processed the herbs using a special method. The impurities have been removed, leaving only pure medicinal power. It is easy to refine and absorb, and its effects can last for up to a month. During this period, you just need to hunt down and absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring as soon as possible."
"Okay, you can put the ring away or just wear it on your hand, it's fine either way."
Hearing Ye Qifeng's gentle words, Huo Wu was deeply moved, but she didn't say anything to express her gratitude.
Instead, she held the ring up to Ye Qifeng, her beautiful eyes fixed on him, and softly said:
"Help me put it on."
"good!"
Ye Qifeng was slightly taken aback, then nodded.
She then took the silver-white storage soul guide ring from her right palm.
Huo Wu immediately withdrew her right hand and extended her left hand.
Ye Qifeng smiled slightly, took her soft and delicate hand, and was about to put the ring on her left index finger.
Suddenly, Huo Wu withdrew her hand, pulling her index finger back while revealing her ring finger:
"Wear it here."
Ye Qifeng looked up at her in surprise:
"Fire Dance, this is just an ordinary storage soul guide ring, nothing special, and it's not the only one I've given it to. I've given it to several other people as well."
"It's okay."
Huo Wu interrupted Ye Qifeng, biting her rosy lower lip and staring intently at him.
"Do you know what it means to wear a ring on your ring finger?"
Ye Qifeng asked again.
Huo Wu's face flushed instantly, but her eyes remained firm, and she nodded slightly.
"Yes, I know."
"Did you know you were going to wear it here?" Ye Qifeng looked at her and suggested, "How about we move it to another spot?"
"No need!" Huo Wu shook her head slightly, her tone still firm: "I'll wear it here."
Seeing Huo Wu's determined little face, Ye Qifeng stopped talking and his expression became serious, with more tenderness in his eyes.
He put this ring on Huo Wu's finger.
The moment the silver ring slipped onto Huo Wu's ring finger, the slightly wide silver band immediately contracted automatically, fitting snugly against her finger.
Huo Wu immediately smiled radiantly, like a blooming rose—splendid, dazzling, and fiery.
Ye Qifeng quietly watched the smile bloom on her face, feeling her heartfelt joy and happiness, and secretly vowed that he would never let this girl down.
Perhaps we should subdue Tianshui City as soon as possible, so that we can give the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass to Shui Bing'er to consume.
The Fiery Apricot and the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass are mutually destructive yet also mutually supportive.
Taking both of these divine herbs together will grant the user the ability to refine their body through ice and fire, making them impervious to water and fire. Taking them separately will also produce some miraculous effects.
Huo Wu has now taken the Fiery Apricot Dew.
If Shui Bing'er also takes the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass, she can cultivate with Huo Wu, which will speed up their cultivation. It might even have a miraculous effect. Even if they combine their martial souls to form a fusion skill, it shouldn't be difficult.
only……
Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er don't seem to get along very well.
After all, Shui Bing'er has an ice attribute constitution, while Huo Wu has a fire attribute constitution.
The two are one ice and one fire, and ice and fire are incompatible. If they meet, I wonder if they will fight?
However, given the connection between the Fiery Apricot and the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass, there shouldn't be anything to worry about.
Ye Qifeng was pondering something silently, his hand on his chin, unaware that two red lips had already approached him.
Night Seven Wind was caught off guard
