Chapter 61 Father-in-law Di Tian?!
Chapter 62 Father-in-law Di Tian?!
With a complex mix of emotions, Huo Yuhao followed Gu Yue to her door.
Gu Yuejing pushed open the door and entered. Huo Yuhao hesitated for a moment, then followed him in.
Passing through the simple entryway, the living room comes into view.
Almost immediately, Huo Yuhao's gaze fell on the figure on the sofa.
He was an exceptionally tall middle-aged man with a resolute face, hard features, and an imposing aura between his brows. He was clearly the kind of extremely serious and unsmiling father figure.
Just as Huo Yuhao was sizing up Di Tian, Di Tian's gaze naturally fell on him as well.
At first, Di Tian only glanced at it casually.
However, after his gaze lingered for two more seconds, the nonchalance on his face vanished abruptly, and his expression became extremely serious.
Although the boy in front of him was still young, his facial features and calm demeanor began to slowly overlap with the indelible figure deep in his memory!
What shocked Di Tian even more was the faint aura emanating from Huo Yuhao.
It wasn't a fluctuation of soul power, but a more primal feeling, closer to the spiritual and destiny level—
The more he perceived it, the more familiar it felt, and a stirring from the depths of his soul began to surge uncontrollably.
next second.
Di Tian suddenly stood up from the sofa!
The movement was so forceful that the sofa beneath him let out a muffled thud as if it could no longer bear the weight.
His eyes flashed like lightning, fixed intently on Huo Yuhao. In those eyes, which had concealed their golden light, it seemed as if a raging storm was churning within them.
His fists were clenched tightly at his sides, his knuckles turning white. The powerful aura that he had been holding back almost perfectly was like a flood that had burst its banks, and it could no longer be controlled. It erupted with a roar!
"Buzz!!!"
An invisible pressure, like a tangible mountain, instantly filled the entire room, making the air seem to solidify and distort.
Huo Yuhao felt his breath catch in his throat. His spiritual power at the Spirit Sea Realm seemed so weak and powerless in the face of this pressure!
He felt as if he had suddenly found himself in the middle of a raging ocean, a small boat in a storm that could capsize at any moment, and even his thoughts became sluggish.
"cough."
Just as this suffocating pressure reached its peak, a soft cough was clearly heard from Gu Yue's mouth.
The sound wasn't loud, but it was like a clear spring, instantly extinguishing the volcano that was about to spiral out of control.
Di Tian suddenly loosened his clenched fists, and the violent aura emanating from his body receded rapidly like a tide, completely subsiding as if the heart-stopping scene from just moments ago had never happened.
However, a fine layer of cold sweat had already seeped from his forehead.
Only now did he truly understand the profound meaning behind his master's earlier words, "Don't lose your composure."
He was more than just out of control—he was completely flustered!
Di Tian slowly turned his head, his gaze carrying a hint of undisguised resentment, and glanced at Gu Yue, who stood calmly beside him.
My Lord, you should at least have given me a heads-up!
The person who brought this—this young man—is more than just "similar".
This is clearly the appearance of Huo Yuhao, the Spirit Ice Douluo, when he was young!
Although Di Tian's aura was only revealed for a moment, it stirred up huge waves in Huo Yuhao's heart.
This completely confirmed his previous guess: Gu Yue's father was definitely a powerhouse at least at the Super Douluo level!
However, despite the terrifying aura he had just witnessed, Huo Yuhao was not particularly worried about his own safety.
He seemed to have heard that when a father-in-law first meets his future son-in-law, he always gives him a "baptism of fire".
Clearly, in Huo Yuhao's mind, the reason for that burst of power just now was this!
Huo Yuhao pondered to himself, and the more he thought about it, the more sense it made.
After all, he hadn't done anything.
Thinking of this, the tension in his heart dissipated somewhat, and he even felt a sense of calm, as if he had just expected it.
Once the other party had completely calmed down, he immediately stepped forward and respectfully bowed, saying, "Hello, Uncle Gu."
"Hmm." Di Tian responded with a low hum from his nose. He pointed to the sofa opposite him and said, "Come and sit down."
"Thank you, Uncle Gu."
Huo Yuhao followed her instructions and sat down on the sofa to the side with Gu Yue.
His posture was very "standard," occupying only the front half of the sofa, with his back straight and his hands neatly placed on his knees, looking serious and well-behaved.
At this moment, Di Tian's gaze towards Huo Yuhao was filled with an indescribable mix of emotions.
The root of this complexity lies in the fact that his "feelings" for Huo Yuhao are too special and too contradictory.
His initial encounter with Huo Yuhao began with the imperial mythical beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
Di Tian genuinely cared for and nurtured the auspicious beast as if it were his daughter. However, after the auspicious beast transformed into human form, its heart was set on Huo Yuhao.
Based solely on this historical connection, it wouldn't be entirely unreasonable for Huo Yuhao to call Di Tian "father-in-law."
However, the auspicious beast later chose to sacrifice itself for Huo Yuhao, which made Di Tian hate Huo Yuhao even more.
He even went so far as to launch a beast tide against Shrek Academy, nearly causing the destruction of the continent's number one academy.
Later, Huo Yuhao's research on the Soul Spirit System was born.
In order for the soul beast race to find a chance to breathe and continue under human oppression, Di Tian chose to compromise and even began to assist in promoting soul spirits.
At that time, he probably held a mixture of admiration and complex expectations for Huo Yuhao.
Later, Huo Yuhao became a Title Douluo, but for some reason his personality changed drastically. He went from being gentle and humble to being unpredictable and even domineering.
Di Tian was severely injured by "Little Huo's Flying Dagger" and for the first time felt a trace of fear from the human he once regarded as a junior!
It was this complex mix of emotions—stretching for millennia and interwoven with the pain of kinship, hatred of ethnicity, schemes for cooperation, and fear of power—that caused him to lose his composure in such a way.
Therefore, seeing this boy who looked almost exactly like Lingbing Douluo in his youth, even this seasoned master of soul beasts couldn't help but lose his composure.
Di Tian's eyes flickered slightly, as if he was carefully considering his words.
After a moment, he finally spoke again: "I heard Yue'er mention you. Who else is in your family?"
Huo Yuhao thought to himself, "Just as I expected."
This process was exactly the same as the "meeting the parents" process he had heard about, and they immediately started questioning his family background.
His expression remained unchanged, and his tone was calm with a just-right hint of melancholy as he replied, "I am an orphan. I have never known who my parents are since I was a child. My teacher raised me—"
He wasn't entirely lying about that statement.
In this world ten thousand years later, he indeed had no blood relatives left, and his two teachers, Leng Yaozhu and Han Tianyi, were his closest elders.
For the next half hour, the atmosphere in the living room remained in a subtle question-and-answer mode.
Di Tian's questions were not particularly difficult, but they covered a wide range of aspects, including his upbringing, lineage, and future plans. They were detailed and comprehensive.
Huo Yuhao answered every question with a respectful attitude and sincere words, but he cleverly omitted the secret of his own time travel.
When this conversation, which could be described as an "interrogation," finally came to an end, Huo Yuhao appeared calm on the surface, but his back was already quietly soaked with cold sweat.
Finally, Gu Yue got up and saw Huo Yuhao to the door.
Seeing Huo Yuhao's relieved yet slightly apprehensive expression as he turned around, a hint of mischievousness flashed across her eyes.
Huo Yuhao had always maintained a calm and composed demeanor in Class Zero, and Gu Yue never expected him to be so nervous.
Huo Yuhao only truly breathed a sigh of relief the moment he stepped out of the room and into the corridor, feeling that it had taken even more mental and physical effort than fighting several battles in the Hall of Heroes.
He raised his hand to wipe away non-existent cold sweat from his forehead, with only one thought in his mind.
Meeting the parents—it's absolutely terrifying!
