"Yes."

Huo Yuhao sat on the bed and straightened his back, inhaling air into his lungs. He closed his eyes and prepared himself to absorb two red spirit rings from the system. Chains of Heaven manifested themselves in the bedroom, hovering around him like a snake.

[Processing...]

[Transferring Space Worm and Monster-Sealing Sakura Tree Spirit Rings to Chains of Heaven]

"Do it." Huo Yuhao whispered to Evo.

[10%]

A crimson spirit ring with two golden marks appeared out of nowhere and floated above Huo Yuhao's head. It gradually moved to the Chain of Heaven and released faint white light.

"This is how it feels, huh?" Huo Yuhao could feel foreign energy invade the Chains of Heaven's position in his chest, merging into it. Warm vibrancy like flowing water spread over his nerve and meridian, accustoming them to Spirit Skills from Space Worm.

[50%]

Huo Yuhao could feel a weird sensation in the air and grasp their locations. It's like extra material or maybe existing things from the beginning.

[69%]

Another crimson spirit ring with two golden marks appeared out of thin air and moved to the Chain of Heavens. A faint scent of cherry blossoms invaded Huo Yuhao's nostrils. His entire body became heavy like extra weights suddenly were added to his shoulders.

Huo Yuhao waited for two hours and sighed in relief because the added weight had disappeared from his shoulders. He opened his eyes and saw the progression bar.

[100%]

[Congratulation, Host]

"Open my status." Huo Yuhao said while stretching his neck a little.

Huo Yuhao noticed two more additional tabs on the Chain of Heaven section. He clicked on it, checking the newly acquired abilities.

[1st Spirit Ring]

The morning started with Huo Yun'er stuffing her nosebleed with cotton. She went to the inn's kitchen and asked the owner for permission to cook there, which was allowed instantly.

Huo Yuhao stabbed a piece of meat with his fork and ate it while staring at the Northern Sea City from the window. The scenery is still beautiful, even on the second day.

"Good morning." Qianye Ying'er greeted him with a smile. She carried a plate with a standard egg and bacon breakfast and sat on the chair beside Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao nodded and replied, "Morning. How was your sleep last night?"

"Better than yesterday. I still have a horrible nightmare about it, but nothing that I can't handle on my own." The young lady giggled.

A heart-wrenching trauma couldn't get healed instantly. Huo Yuhao knew that very well because he couldn't accept his adopted mother's death in his previous life.

"It's okay to cry when you want to. No one would stop you from doing it as long as I'm on your side." Huo Yuhao unknowingly spouted a cheesy line. The mood became awkward, and he started to devour his breakfast like no tomorrow.

Qianye Ying'er looked down at her plate with an overwhelmed feeling in her young heart. She blushed when remembering Huo Yuhao's gentle look a second ago, coughing a few times to calm herself. A noble young lady has to stay composed all the time.

"Ehem, Thank you." She replied gently.

Huo Yun'er entered the room and brought over a trolley with several dishes, placing them on the table for Huo Yuhao. "Here, eat more, Hao'er." She said while taking a seat on another side of her son.

"Eat more, so you can have more energy today." She glared at Qianye Ying'er for a moment and smiled at Huo Yuhao.

Qianye Ying'er swayed her little head away because of her last conversation with Huo Yun'er. The adult woman was marking her territory around Huo Yuhao.

'What a woman.' The young lady thought while sighing to herself.

Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao could only watch in defeat because their intention was clear to him. He ate his breakfast, enjoying every dish silently.

...

...

"Hmm, any of you wanted to follow me today?" Huo Yuhao asked while wearing his hooded cloak. He also wore the White Goblin Mask to cover his face.

Huo Yun'er smiled and responded, "Unfortunately, I have to meditate to recover my spiritual energy."

"I'll search for some relevant information with the servants. It might help our journey later." Qianye Ying'er replied naturally.

Huo Yuhao shrugged and went out, whistling casually on the quiet road. After a few minutes of talking with locals, he arrived at the fisherman docks.

He searched for the oldest fisherman in the docks and saw a middle-aged guy punching a shark. "What a badass guy." He couldn't help but comment amusingly.

"Sir, can I have your attention for a moment?"

"Go away, kid. This place isn't for you," The middle-aged man slammed the shark down. "You're too young to handle the sea."

Huo Yuhao looked down at the poor shark and realized it was a 100 hundred years old oceanic spirit beast. He quickly was convinced this middle-aged guy was a boss around here because the Southern Sea City's citizens didn't have cultivation like him.

"Spirit Master." Huo Yuhao said, which made the middle-aged man frown for a moment. "I saw three spirit rings when you punched that poor shark."

"And?" He chuckled back at him. "Knowing I was a Spirit Master is nothing to me."

Huo Yuhao smirked and added, "Too bad. You are poisoned by something, right?"

"Tense muscles and black circles around your eyes. A healthy Spirit Master shouldn't have such conditions with enough rest unless you got poison inside your body."

"H-How did you..."

"Brat, how did you know I was poisoned?!"

"That wasn't important. Let's have a simple trade, old man." Huo Yuhao leaned on the wooden pole near him. "I'll save your life, and you have to become my subordinate."
