Douluo: Subversion Begins with the Arrival of the Traveler

Chapter 76 Traveler

"Brother, you are really here!"

On a high hill outside Tiandou City, Xue Qinghe held a bladeless sword in his hand, with a faint light flickering rapidly on it.

He looked at the young man sitting on a rock not far away with a happy expression.

After the incident at Lan Ba Academy was resolved, all the people from the academy left Tian Dou City and disappeared, and the rest of the people also dispersed.

He did not stop and hurried back to the Prince's Mansion.

Everything in the mansion was normal, but something seemed to be missing.

He came to the courtyard where he had stayed the longest during this period and sat down on a stone bench in a small pavilion nearby.

With one hand supporting his cheek, his eyes wandered around the courtyard.

"Keke, guess who will come out first today, Brother or Paimon?"

"Hmm~ Paimon comes out first."

"Keke, how did you get to know Brother and Paimon?"

"Well, at that time I was..."

Xue Qinghe seemed to see the little girl still chatting with him across the table.

"Qinghe, what are we having for dinner today? Hehe~ I'm so hungry."

"Your Highness..."

"..."

Xue Qinghe came to his senses and found that there was no familiar figure in the empty courtyard.

Whether it's Coco, Brother, or Paimon, they are really gone.

He had thought of many scenarios of saying goodbye to each other, but he had never foreseen the outcome today.

Coco is gone, and my brother and Paimon never came back.

"I haven't even had time to say hello yet..."

Xue Qinghe murmured softly. Although he was prepared, his eyes were still filled with sadness and loneliness.

Buzz~.

The edgeless sword in his arms seemed to have heard his thoughts, and the sword body trembled slightly, emitting a little halo.

"Brother? Is that you... Where are you..."

Xue Qinghe grabbed the hilt of the sword, stood up and looked around.

But apart from the trembling sword, he did not see the figure he had expected to return.

"I'm sorry, I also want to return you to your master, but I don't know where he is..."

Xue Qinghe muttered to himself, as if he had thought of something, and the feeling of loss on his face became even more intense.

Buzz~.

The sword made a clear sound again, and a gentle force caused Xue Qinghe to stagger a few steps.

"Are you going to look for your master?"

As soon as Xue Qinghe finished speaking, he felt a force from the sword, as if it wanted to drag him somewhere.

After a brief moment of distraction, he seemed to understand the meaning of the sword, and then he followed the gentle power.

We walked through the streets and alleys and left Tiandou City.

Until I got here, the figure in my mind overlapped with the young man in front of me again.

"Hmm? Your Highness is here?"

Hearing the voice, Kong turned around and chuckled at Xue Qinghe.

Xue Qinghe was stunned. They had been together for many days.
But suddenly, he felt that the brother in front of him seemed to have a temperament that he had never shown before.

Freedom, uninhibitedness, unrestrainedness, and indifference from the mundane world.

It is like a breeze, which can give people a very comfortable feeling, but will not stop for anyone.

"traveller……"

Xue Qinghe muttered to himself.

It was not until now that he understood the identity that Sora had mentioned when introducing him.

Perhaps only now did he truly get to know this young man.

"Your Highness?"

Xue Qinghe came back to his senses, realizing he had been distracted for a moment. He said apologetically, "I, I'm here to return your sword."

All the words I had thought of when we met again were completely forgotten when I actually saw him.

Despite being nervous, he gave a very straightforward reason.

"Hehe~ This is for you."

Kong chuckled lightly, and the edgeless sword in Xue Qinghe's hand was able to shine with its sharp edge.
This shows that he has a passionate obsession with something in his heart.

Since we will leave eventually no matter what, before that, let's add some sunny colors to the scenery along the way.

"Give it to me?"

"Well, this is a parting gift. I hope it can accompany you until the day your dream comes true."

Kong nodded, he knew what Xue Qinghe's greatest wish was.

He was originally unwilling to intervene, but after a series of things happened to Coco, he gradually changed his mind.

Something seems to be wrong with the world here. Xue Qinghe has a very positive character. If his wish comes true, perhaps a lot of injustice and oppression can be changed.

"...Thank you, brother. I like it very much!"

After receiving Kong's affirmative answer, Xue Qinghe narrowed his eyes slightly and held the sword carefully, as if he was afraid of losing it.

"Brother, where's Paimon? And, Coco..."

There was only one person here, Xue Qinghe thought they might have buried Keke's body.
But she didn't even see Paimon, which made her a little worried.

Brother and Paimon even sleep together, there is no way Paimon will leave Brother.

Now Paimon is not here, will something happen later...

"Ah! The traveler is really annoying. He just sits there and looks at the scenery, and then leaves us two to find firewood..."

Before Sora could reply, Paimon's mumbling complaints could be heard from the lower part of the hill.

Then a small figure gradually appeared in Xue Qinghe's eyes.

"Huh? It's Qinghe, Qinghe!"

Paimon hung in the air with difficulty, holding several pieces of dead wood in his arms.

When he saw Xue Qinghe next to Kong, he waved his little hand in surprise and greeted him.

But when he saw that the wood in his arms was about to fall, he hurriedly pulled his hand back and held it tightly.

"Paimon~... Coco?!"

Seeing Paimeng, Xue Qinghe waved his hand in response, feeling a little relieved.
However, he didn't expect that a jumping figure gradually appeared behind Paimeng's feet in his sight.

Seeing this, he almost dropped his jaw in shock.

"His Royal Highness..."

Seeing an acquaintance, the figure bowed slightly, smiled and called out sweetly.

"You... this, she..."

Xue Qinghe heard the familiar voice in his mind again, his eyes flickering between Coco and Kong, and he became a little incoherent.

"Qinghe, you came at the right time. I didn't even have breakfast this morning.
We worked so hard just now, we’re almost starving...so we’re planning to make something to eat, hehe~"

Paimon threw the firewood on the ground and said with great interest.

She looked at the cute little ones lying on the ground next to Kong, and missed the barbecued rabbit legs she and the travelers had eaten when they first arrived here.

"Suck~"

Just thinking about it, Paimeng swallowed quietly. She was really hungry.

"Paimon, is this really Coco..."

Xue Qinghe stared at Yu Keke, who was standing obediently beside the firewood, and was a little bit unbelieving.

Coco is dead, this is an indisputable fact, but why...

"Your Highness, it's me."

Yu Keke shook her head slightly and spoke crisply to Xue Qinghe.

"Coco...is it really you?!"

Xue Qinghe didn't care about his image, walked to Yu Keke, slowly stretched out his hand and pinched his arm,

He touched her head again and even rubbed her rosy little face.

The latter was so embarrassed that her pretty face turned red, like smudged ink, and her soft earlobes seemed to be about to drip blood.
