Douluo Dalu: Immortal Dragon Clan

Chapter 172 The Sky Curtain is Formed: My Name is Fang Yuan
By the stream, Huo Yuhao was grilling fish for his younger sister when he suddenly heard a voice in his mind: "Someone is approaching from behind!"

Huo Yuhao immediately drew his White Tiger Dagger and turned around warily. He saw three figures walking towards him and his sister. When he realized that these three were not from the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, he breathed a sigh of relief, but still asked cautiously, "Who are you?"

Huo Yutong, who was rubbing her leg, also looked at the three of them warily.

The young man at the head of the group looked at the wary brother and sister in front of him and introduced himself: "Hello, my name is Fang Yuan. Behind me are two senior members of the family, Mo Yan and Jin Tianming. We were a bit hungry from our journey and came here because we smelled barbecue. We didn't expect you to be grilling fish. We'd like to buy your grilled fish, how about it?"

"That's it!"

Huo Yuhao believed him and hurriedly said, "No need to buy, I'll treat you to a meal!"

"No, the elders in the family said that you have to pay for what you take from others."

Unlike Tang Ya in the original story, Tian Mucheng did not sit down to eat immediately. Instead, he took out a bag of money and handed it to Huo Yuhao.

Upon seeing the money pouch Fang Yuan offered, Huo Yuhao quickly refused, saying, "This is too much."

"It's nothing, just a small amount of money."

Tian Mucheng didn't care at all, stuffed the money into Huo Yuhao's hand, and then looked at Huo Yutong, who was hiding behind Huo Yuhao, and asked curiously, "Is she your sister?"

Huo Yuhao was still in a daze when he heard Fang Yuan's question. He quickly introduced himself and his sister who was hiding behind him: "Brother Fang Yuan, my name is Huo Yuhao, and this is my sister Huo Yutong."

"I see!" Tian Mucheng smiled and extended his hand. "Hello, Miss Huo Yutong!"

Huo Yutong looked at the handsome man extending his hand in front of her, and timidly extended her own fair hand, replying softly, "Y-you...hello!"

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao was somewhat surprised. He didn't expect his usually timid sister to reach out and shake hands with someone. At this moment, he felt a little complicated, but he didn't show any dissatisfaction.

But he seemed not to hear the voice that kept echoing in his mind, the voice shouting "Impossible!" and questioning why three unplanned people had appeared!

Tianmu immediately withdrew his hand. He felt a terrifying mental pressure from Huo Yutong. Was it the White Tiger, a mental martial soul?
The martial souls of Huo Yuhao and his sister had already been reported to their subordinates. When he learned that Huo Yutong had awakened the Three-Eyed White Tiger, he guessed that this martial soul should have a spiritual attribute.

Strangely enough, even though both women awakened the White Tiger Martial Soul and underwent a positive mutation, this White Tiger Duchess managed to conceal it all this time, which is truly remarkable.

If the Duchess of White Tiger were to cheat on the Duke of White Tiger one day, he probably wouldn't even know it!

After receiving the money, Huo Yuhao immediately started grilling fish for the three of them.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Tian Mucheng asked, "Brother Huo, what brings you to the Star Dou Forest?"

"Brother Fang Yuan, I plan to take my sister and myself to hunt for the first spirit ring."

Facing the generous Fang Yuan, Huo Yuhao was caught off guard and truthfully revealed the purpose of his and his sister's visit to the Star Dou Great Forest.

"What a coincidence!" Tian Mucheng looked surprised. "I was just about to hunt down the first soul ring. Where are your guards?" After saying that, he pretended to look around for his guards.

"Um," Huo Yutong replied softly upon seeing this, "my brother and I are orphans, and we have no guards with us."

"what???"

Tian Mucheng feigned shock as he looked at Huo Yuhao and his sister: "You two dared to venture into the Star Dou Great Forest alone? Aren't you afraid of dying here?"

"Brother Fang Yuan, we are well aware of the danger, but we really have no other choice." Huo Yuhao handed the grilled fish to the three of them and explained, while also sharing his own experience with them.

Hearing these memories again, Huo Yutong lowered her head and silently ate her fish, tears streaming down her face.

"I see."

Tian Mucheng pretended to be deep in thought, and after a moment said, "How about this, you guys team up with me later, and I'll have the two seniors behind me assist us in hunting soul beasts."

"Really?" Huo Yutong looked up in surprise. She knew that the Star Dou Great Forest was full of dangers. If Brother Fang Yuan and the two seniors behind him could help her, she and her brother would definitely be able to obtain their first soul ring.

Jin Tianming and Mo Yan nodded in agreement.

"Um... I'm sorry, Brother Fang Yuan, my sister and I will handle the hunting of spirit rings ourselves."

Huo Yuhao, who had intended to agree along with his sister, found himself being urged by a voice in his mind to drive the other party away and refuse the offer. Despite not understanding why, he chose to follow the voice based on his years of intuition.

"Why, brother!" Before Tian Mucheng could even voice his question, Huo Yutong anxiously pressed him for an answer. She couldn't understand her brother's thought process at all; he always made some inexplicable decisions.

Seeing the confusion and doubt in his sister's eyes, Huo Yuhao was about to make up an excuse when another voice reached everyone's ears, and everyone looked in the direction of the voice.

A man and a woman came into view; they were none other than the famous Shrek Academy students, Bei Bei and Tang Ya.

"The grilled fish smells so good!"

Tang Ya's eyes lit up when she saw the grilled fish in everyone's hands. She quickly walked up to Huo Yuhao, who was grilling fish, and asked, "Little brother, do you sell this grilled fish?"

Huo Yuhao glanced at the few remaining grilled fish on the fire. These were originally meant for his sister. Just as he was about to refuse, the voice in his mind rang out again, telling him not to refuse.

"Let me treat you, young lady and big brother."

"Great!"

Tang Ya sat down with delight, while Bei Bei behind her sighed and rubbed his forehead. He was about to sit down with Tang Ya when he suddenly saw a familiar figure. His pupils widened instantly, as if he had seen something terrifying.

"Senior Mo Yan???"

When Beibei's voice rang out, Tang Ya, who had been staring at the grilled fish, also looked over and saw Mo Yan sitting behind a boy with long, straight black hair. She exclaimed in surprise, "Senior Mo Yan!"

Senior Sister Mo Yan is now recognized as a "lazy beauty" in the Inner Academy. It is said that several male students in the Inner Academy have confessed their feelings to her, but they were all intimidated by her strength and dared not speak again. It is likely that after Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan graduates, Senior Sister Mo Yan will become the next senior sister of the Inner Academy.

Tang Ya sometimes fantasizes that after entering the inner courtyard, she can make great strides like Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan or Senior Sister Mo Yan.

Tian Mucheng ignored Tang Ya and Bei Bei, and stared intently at Huo Yuhao. Just now, Huo Yuhao clearly wanted to refuse, but suddenly changed his mind. It seems that the voice must have come from "that guy". But when exactly did "that guy" intervene?

Could it be that some of my actions triggered a butterfly effect-like chain reaction?

　This isn't acting; I just suddenly thought of using this name to trick Tang San.

　　Finally, thank you to all the handsome men and beautiful women for the gifts and votes.
