Douluo: Martial Soul White Tiger, I am the White Emperor of Heaven

Chapter 648 Reunion with Dai Mubai

As Zhu Zhuqing walked out, the morning light slanted in through the window, casting a soft golden glow on her.

The black clothes clung to her slender and well-proportioned figure, her half-dry hair was loosely tied back, and a few strands of wet hair clung to her fair neck.

Her face was still a little flushed, but much better than when she first woke up, and her eyes had regained their usual clarity.

Dai Chengfeng's gaze lingered on her for a moment. "Are you feeling better?"

"much better."

Zhu Zhuqing tilted her head slightly and smoothed her hair. "Taking a bath really does make me feel much better."

Dai Chengfeng nodded, turned around and tidied the bed, then looked at the bright sunshine outside the window.

The city of Wuhun was awakening in the early morning, with faint sounds of bustling activity coming from the streets, and the towering Wuhun Hall in the distance shimmering with golden light in the sunlight.

"Shall we go to the training room now?"

Zhu Zhuqing shook her head and unexpectedly said, "Today... I want to go out for a walk."

Dai Chengfeng turned around and looked at her with some surprise: "Get out?"

"Zhuqing, you should rest now..."

"I know."

Zhu Zhuqing gently bit her lower lip, "I want to..."

"We've never really explored Wuhun City together."

Dai Chengfeng looked at Zhu Zhuqing's rare soft expression. Her usually cold and sharp eyes were now filled with a hint of expectation and a touch of shyness.

Dai Chengfeng's heart softened slightly.

He suddenly realized that ever since he met Zhu Zhuqing, their relationship seemed to always revolve around cultivation, battles, and missions.

Even during their time in the Star Luo Empire, they never had the kind of time that ordinary couples spend together.

Are you sure your body can handle it?

Dai Chengfeng's tone softened as he walked up to her and reached out to smooth a strand of wet hair from her cheek.

"Ah."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded, her gaze firm. "We're just taking a stroll, we won't go far. We'll come back if we get tired."

Seeing her serious expression, Dai Chengfeng finally gave in.

"it is good."

He finally said, a gentle smile playing on his lips, "Then let's go for a stroll."

"But you have to promise me that if you feel unwell, you'll tell me immediately."

"I promise."

A gleam of joy flashed in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, and that fleeting expression stirred Dai Chengfeng's heart.

"Wait while I change my clothes."

As he spoke, he walked to the wardrobe and took out a simple dark gray casual outfit.

Zhu Zhuqing watched him go into the bathroom to change his clothes, while she went to the dressing table, picked up a comb, and tidied her hair.

"What are you thinking about?"

Dai Chengfeng's voice came from behind him; he had already changed his clothes and came out.

He wore simple dark gray trousers with a white shirt and a matching jacket, which accentuated his tall and elegant figure.

Unlike his imposing presence when dressed as a prince, this attire made him look more like an ordinary young nobleman, though the innate air of authority between his brows was still undeniable.

"nothing."

Zhu Zhuqing put down the comb, stood up, and asked, "Can we go now?"

Dai Chengfeng nodded and naturally took her hand: "Let's go."

Zhu Zhuqing's fingers twitched slightly, but she didn't pull them away, letting him lead her out of the room.

The morning in Wuhun City was bustling with activity.

As one of the most magnificent cities on the Douluo Continent, this place is a gathering place for Soul Masters, merchants, and travelers from all over the world. Shops line both sides of the street, and various signs gleam in the morning light.

The air was filled with the aroma of food, the fragrance of flowers, and the noise of the crowd.

Dai Chengfeng held Zhu Zhuqing's hand, and the two walked side by side on the bustling street.

Where would you like to start your shopping trip?

Dai Chengfeng turned his head to ask Zhu Zhuqing, while carefully watching her steps.

He noticed that she was still slightly uncoordinated when she walked, but he didn't point it out. He simply adjusted his pace to make it easier for her to walk.

Zhu Zhuqing looked around, her gaze drawn to a delicate arched bridge in the distance:

"Let's go take a look over there; the river water under the bridge looks very clear."

That was the Tianshui River that ran through Wuhun City. The river water shimmered in the sunlight, and several small boats floated leisurely on the surface.

The two sides of the bridge are bustling commercial districts with a wide variety of shops.

"it is good."

Dai Chengfeng took her hand and walked towards the arched bridge.

I passed a flower shop along the way. The owner was a kind old woman who was arranging newly arrived flowers at the door.

Flowers of various colors bloomed in the morning light, emitting a sweet fragrance. Zhu Zhuqing's gaze was drawn to a cluster of pale purple irises, and she unconsciously slowed her pace.

Dai Chengfeng noticed her gaze and stopped in his tracks: "You like it?"

"They're beautiful," Zhu Zhuqing said softly, her gaze still lingering on the flowers.

"Grandpa, how much is this bouquet of flowers?"

Dai Chengfeng had already reached the front of the shop and took out his money pouch from his pocket.

"Five copper soul coins, young man."

The old woman smiled and said, her gaze shifting between Dai Chengfeng and Zhu Zhuqing, "Is this for this beautiful young lady? You have excellent taste; these irises are perfect for a girl with a refined and elegant temperament."

Dai Chengfeng paid for the bouquet of irises, took the carefully wrapped bouquet, and handed it to Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing was slightly taken aback, then took the bouquet; the pale purple petals trembled gently in her hand.

She lowered her head and took a light sniff; the fragrance of the flowers was delicate and not overpowering, just like the feeling she gave off.

"Thank you," she said softly, her ears turning slightly red.

"You're welcome." Dai Chengfeng smiled and took her hand again. "Let's go."

The two continued walking, Zhu Zhuqing holding a bouquet of flowers in one hand and being led by Dai Chengfeng with the other, a strange warmth welling up in her heart.

For her, such ordinary moments were a luxury.

In the Zhu family, her life consisted only of cultivation and competition; after meeting Dai Chengfeng, although she had more to rely on, they still fought side by side most of the time.

For her, it was an unprecedented experience to simply walk hand in hand in the sunshine, without having to think about anything, feeling the hustle and bustle of the city and the atmosphere of life.

The two walked across the arched bridge, where the river water was crystal clear and fish could be seen swimming.

Several children were playing by the river, their laughter ringing out...

Before we knew it, the sun was high in the sky, and the streets were getting more and more crowded.

"Ahead lies the famous Soul Master Market of Wuhun City," Dai Chengfeng pointed to a wide square ahead, bustling with people and lined with stalls. "There you'll find all sorts of Soul Master supplies, from Soul Guidance Devices to Potions, from Soul Beast Materials to Martial Arts Manuals—everything you could want."

"Want to take a look?"

Zhu Zhuqing nodded.

As a Soul Master, I am naturally interested in this kind of place.

However, just as the two were walking toward the square, a familiar figure suddenly came into view.

At the entrance to the square, two young men were standing there talking.

One of them, with long blonde hair, a tall stature, and an arrogant demeanor, was none other than Dai Mubai.

Standing next to him was Oscar, with his neat short hair and his usual gentle smile.
