Douluo Dalu 2: Unrivaled Tang Sect

Chapter 529.2. Dad, Hug Me!

Ju Zi mumbled, I regret it. Yes, I regret it. Only in that moment when I lost my child did I realize that revenge isnt the first priority in my heart. When a person truly falls in love with another, that person can forget about his or her revenge. If I could make that choice again, I would have made a different one. Im sorry, Yuhao, its my fault.

Huo Yuhao was stunned. His heart ached agonizingly as he listened to Ju Zis words, but they both knew that there was nothing in the world that could reverse their regrets.

Huo Yuhao patted Ju Zis back gently before he struggled out from her embrace. He heaved a faint sigh, but said nothing more as he turned to walk out. He had already decided, but he was also looking back because of Ju Zis words. Her words made him feel a little uncomfortable, but

Daddy, hug! That babyish call stopped him once more.

Huo Yuhao turned around, and glanced warmly at little Yunhan in Ju Zis arms. Be good, Yunhan. You have to listen to your mother.

Little Yunhan opened his arms. Daddy, hug

Ju Zis voice was trembling. You should hug him one more time.

Huo Yuhao hesitated, but finally walked back in front of Ju Zi and took little Yunhan into his arms. For some reason, this little babys cries seemed to touch something in his heart.

Huo Yuhao hugged little Yunhan, and the baby naturally planted his tender cheeks on Huo Yuhaos shoulder. That appearance was exceptionally cute.

Huo Yuhao patted his back softly, and his eyes became increasingly warm and gentle.

Ju Zi began to cry even more uncontrollably when she saw that. She truly hoped that time would just freeze in this moment, that this moment would never change!

But the child was finally returned to her arms, and she didnt even know how Huo Yuhao and Tang Wutong left.

Little Yunhan fell asleep in her arms. He was sleeping very soundly; this little fellow had always been very adaptable.

Ju Zis lips trembled as she repeated the same sentence to herself. He is actually your

Huo Yuhao and Tang Wutong snuck out of the Sun Moon Empires royal place. If Xu Tianran found out that somebody could enter and exit his royal palace at a whim like this place was uninhabited, who knew what he would think?

Of course, that was also because Huo Yuhao and Tang Wutong came in just for a spin, and they werent executing any actual plans. Certain especially sensitive and powerful soul masters could discover them as soon as they could sense hostility and murderousness. Huo Yuhao and Tang Wutong maintained their cool from the beginning to the end, and that was one of the most important reasons why they could enter and leave so peacefully.

I didnt expect you to like that child so much. Tang Wutong whispered softly.

Huo Yuhao turned around as he gently caressed her long hair.

Youre jealous?

Tang Wutong shook her head and said, No, Im not. Since shes missed her chance, then that chance will not come back again, not unless time begins to flow backwards. Otherwise, you can only be mine.

Huo Yuhao laughed. Even though Tang Wutong said she wasnt jealous, was she really not?

Tang Wutongs next statement expressed her mentality.

I will definitely bear a son for us in the future, Tang Wutong said resolutely.

Huo Yuhao chuckled. That needs to happen. But I will love our child all the same whether we have a son or a daughter, and I will love them like I love you.

Tang Wutong pouted obstinately. You have to love me the most!

Huo Yuhao guffawed. Why are you competing with our child?

They left Radiant City and flew into the air once more. They went back and forth between Radiant City and the Ming Dou Mountain Range within two days. Only they could bear such a burden with their Class 9 flying-type soul tools.

Tang Wutongs face gradually became solemn as they raced through the sky. Yuhao, how do we account for this matter when we return? I think they might complain to the academy. If they accuse you of collaborating with the enemy

Huo Yuhao shook his head. They wont, theyre not so foolish. I was using Spiritual Detection over the main peak when we left, and I stopped only when we left its range. They had no intention to chase us, and this means we wont run into much trouble.

These Titled Douluo all have their own statuses and identities. Do you think they were very willing to capture little Yunhan? The truth is, no one there felt comfortable in their hearts, including the White Tiger Duke. What we have done simply helped them make that decision. Besides, what good will accusing me of treason to the academy be for them? We have already displayed sufficient strength. Furthermore, the academy has always protected their incumbents, and the Titled Douluo know that too. The war is about to start up again, while the Douluo Continents three native empires are hoping that well help them fight against the Sun Moon Empire. If I were them, pretending this matter never happened is the best outcome.

Tang Wutong stared at Huo Yuhao with slightly dazed eyes. You have already thought about all this long ago?

Huo Yuhao shook his head. No, but I can still make a rough judgment. Face and dignity is very important for Titled Douluo. Furthermore, the strength that we have displayed is sufficient for them to pay attention to us. They will need reconnaissance skills like mine in the war to come. I think the Dou Ling Empire and the Heavenly Soul Empires Titled Douluo have already left, so lets go back to the Ming Dou Mountain Range for a bit, and we can prove our hypothesis. We can also pass on the news that the Sun Moon Empire has gathered its armies, and consider that making up for our transgressions.

Tang Wutong heaved a sigh. Wont they think that the Sun Moon Empire is gathering their armies because we have returned the crown prince?

Huo Yuhao chuckled and said, Do girls become stupid when they get jealous? Silly girl, why do you ask such silly questions? First, the White Tiger Duke cannot make an erroneous judgment like that with his intelligence. How can the Douluo Continents three native empires not know that Xu Tianran was making sacrifices so that he could restart the invasion? Their attempt to assassinate Xu Tianran was meant to stop this invasion from happening!

Tang Wutong hit him gently and said, Youre the one who has become stupid.

It was dusk when they returned to the Ming Dou Mountain Range.

They had travelled several thousand kilometers back and forth over two days, and they also had to avoid the aerial surveillance soul tools in their way. They were even engaged in battle. Both Huo Yuhao and Tang Wutong were extremely spent, despite their cultivation ranks.

They landed outside the White Tiger Dukes tent. Huo Yuhao used Spiritual Detection and quickly found the Duke, who was still dealing with military matters.

To be safe, Huo Yuhao didnt go to see the White Tiger Duke directly. He used his concrete-immaterial spiritual power to conjure a projection to enter the White Tiger Dukes tent.

The White Tiger Duke was still dealing with military matters that were coming in from everywhere. He had assumed control over the entire Western and Northwestern Field Armies, and could be called the number-one man in the Star Luo Empires military. He had status, reputation, and was widely respected, while he controlled more than half of the Star Luo Empires armies. He was probably the most powerful man beneath the emperor.

The White Tiger Duke seemed to feel something as he suddenly raised his head. He saw a shadow appear not too far from him, though it didnt make any sound at all.

The White Tiger Duke was startled, but he was Commander of the Three Armies, and his heart and mind were very calm. He identified the visitor after his initial astonishment, and heaved a sigh of relief.

Yuhao?

Lord Duke. Huo Yuhao bowed slightly.

The White Tiger Dukes expression immediately turned black. You dare to come back. Are you aware that what you have done means a dozen Titled Douluo have achieved nothing in their mission?

Huo Yuhao said plainly, I am simply doing what I think is right. Duke, did you not think that there was something wrong with the plan? I will tell you the same thing. Kidnapping the crown prince doesnt achieve anything unless Xu Tianran is also dead. I have also proven this point when I was back in Radiant City before this. The Sun Moon Empire has already begun mustering their armies, and they will probably invade very soon.

The White Tiger Duke was momentarily stunned. You returned him?

Huo Yuhao nodded.

The White Tiger Duke sighed and said, So be it. At least Ill feel a little better. The Heavenly Sun Douluo has said that this will be the end of this matter, and we shall pretend that this mission never happened. Therefore, you dont have to worry about anything.

Huo Yuhao smiled faintly and answered, I wasnt worried about much in the first place. But I still have to thank you, and the Heavenly Sun Douluo.

The White Tiger Duke said, You can say that to him yourself when you see him again.

Huo Yuhao continued, The Sun Moon Empires armies have already been assembled. Im afraid they will launch an all-out invasion in half a month to a month. I dont know if their target is the Heavenly Soul Empire, or if theyre going for the Star Luo Empire. Therefore, you have to be more careful.

The White Tiger Duke frowned and said, The Heavenly Soul Empire is on the brink of annihilation, but the truth is, the Star Luo Empire is also faced with a great impending calamity! The Sun Moon Empires invasion means the Heavenly Soul Empire is in danger, but we arent that much better.

Huo Yuhao fell silent. He knew what the White Tiger Duke was talking about.

The Heavenly Soul Empires situation was the worst for the moment, as two-thirds of their territory had been conquered. The Star Luo Empire seemed prepared, and their armies seemed ready. They had a hundred thousand soldiers along the border, and they even had a natural stronghold like the Ming Dou Mountain Range to fortify.

But was all that really the truth?

The Sun Moon Empire had conquered much of the Heavenly Soul Empires territory, and part of that territory was where the Heavenly Soul Empire had bordered the Star Luo Empire. Even though it was a hilly area, the ground was a lot flatter there compared to the Ming Dou Mountain Range.

If the Sun Moon Empire wanted to attack the Star Luo Empire, they would naturally launch an invasion from that side. The Sun Moon Empire could attack both the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Star Luo Empire, and both parties would find it incredibly difficult to defend themselves even if they gave everything they had, no matter which side the Sun Moon Empire chose to attack first.
