Douluo Dalu: Immortal Dragon Clan

Inside Mo Yan's dormitory, a faint aura of fire element floated in the air.

Bai Yu and Hei stepped into the room. After looking around, Bai Yu sighed with undisguised envy, "Looks like you're doing quite well at Shrek Academy. This bed is actually made of the hide of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast." Before she finished speaking, she casually lay down on Mo Yan's bed, as if this were her own territory, completely disregarding the attitude of the bed's owner.

Mo Yan, who had just closed the door, saw Bai Yu's overly familiar behavior and his eyes instantly turned sharp as an eagle, with dangerous flames rising around him: "You'd better get up right now, or I won't be polite."

Bai Yu watched as Mo Yan condensed vibrant fire elements in his right hand, then nimbly sprang up from the bed, pouting and complaining, "It's just lying down for a bit, why are you being so fierce?"

"Then let me try hitting you?" Mo Yan raised an eyebrow, the flames around him growing even more intense.

"Then forget it." Bai Yu quickly shook her head. She knew that she was no match for Mo Yan at the moment, and there was no need to make things difficult for herself.

After a brief silence, Bai Yu changed the subject: "The commotion on Shrek Street just now was just for fun, and also to test the academy's reaction."

At this moment, Hei entered the room and sat in the corner, his expression solemn, without saying a word.

Bai Yu couldn't help but ask, "Brother, what are you thinking about?"

Mo Yan also cast a curious glance at her: "What's wrong? Did you discover something again?" She muttered to herself, hoping that nothing went wrong, otherwise it would be difficult to explain to A-Cheng.

Lost in thought, Hei was pulled back to reality by the two voices. He frowned and said in a serious tone, "Is it really appropriate for us to exclude Raize from the plan like this?"

“Today’s events involved only the three of us, leaving Raize out. The more I think about it, the more I feel uneasy. We’re all partners acting together, and it’s not right to discuss the plan without including him,” Black continued.

Bai Yu waved his hand dismissively: "Brother, Lei Ze is weak and indecisive. Bringing him along might just cause trouble, and besides..."

She lowered her voice, "That young master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Tian, ​​is much more shrewd than Lei Ze. The way she looked at us just now clearly showed that she had discovered something."

“At the time, I paid attention to everyone’s reactions. Wu Feng was just a reckless brute, nothing to fear; Lei Ze was timid and cowardly, so there was no need to take him seriously. But Ning Tian was different. The way she stroked her chin and looked us over, I think she probably guessed our target,” Bai Yu analyzed.

Hei, however, remained calm: "It doesn't matter if she sees through me. She has already taken the pill given to her by that master. Once she betrays him, she will explode and die."

That lord was meticulous in his actions; aside from those completely refined by the dragon soul, he had backup plans for everyone else.

"In that case, there's no need to worry." Mo Yan crossed his arms and said firmly, "It would be best if Lei Ze could help, but if he can't, he shouldn't be a hindrance."

"So, that's it for today?" Bai Yu lazily lay down on Dugu Luo's bed. The two beds were very different in style. As soon as she sank into the soft bedding, the fresh scent of grass and trees wafted over her, as if she were in a forest where the morning dew had not yet evaporated. Her tense nerves relaxed instantly, and drowsiness washed over her like a tide.

Mo Yan leaned to one side, his gaze fixed on Hei, who was frowning and deep in thought.

She rubbed her throbbing temples, secretly glad that she had such an external brain, so why bother figuring it out herself?

His long, slender fingers rested against the bridge of his nose, and complex thoughts swirled in his deep eyes.

The legacy of Mu En, the legendary Dragon Pill—these thoughts swirled in his mind as he weighed the pros and cons, each possibility hooking at his heart like a hook.

After a long silence, he finally broke it: "Do you think there's any way I can get that Dragon Pill if I become Mu En's disciple?"

"What?!" Bai Yu sat up abruptly in bed, his eyes wide with shock.

"What?" Mo Yan was equally incredulous, his voice rising involuntarily.

The two women turned to look at Hei, their eyes filled with astonishment and disbelief, as if questioning whether he was talking nonsense. Choosing to join a sect for a single dragon pill was, in their eyes, an utterly insane decision.

Bai Yu's face was resolute, and his tone was firm: "Even if I die, I will never become Mu En's disciple!"

Hei met two pairs of shocked eyes and patiently explained, "Bai Yu, that dragon pill is too important to us."

Mo Yan reacted extremely quickly, instantly grasping the key point: "Martial Soul Fusion Technique? I heard that guy mention that your fusion technique is extremely unstable and requires Dragon Pills to balance it?"

Hei nodded: "That's right. Right now, Moon's greatest value to us is that Dragon Pill."

"Why don't we just find that silver dragon?" Bai Yu muttered softly.

Upon hearing this, Mo Yan's lips curled into a mocking smile: "Why don't you give it a try? Let's see if the Silver Dragon King will grant you that favor."

Her expression turned serious, and she added, "In the Star Dou Great Forest, dragon-type soul beasts are already rare, and those with dragon cores are even rarer."

Aside from Di Tian and Zi Ji, it would be difficult to find a third one.

Moreover, even if they went to the Silver Dragon King for help, he would probably only listen to A-Cheng; others wouldn't even have a chance to get close.

"Brother, are you so sure he'll leave the Dragon Pill to you? Doesn't he have a great-grandson?" Bai Yu leaned against the headboard, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the corner of the blanket, a hint of doubt rising in his eyebrows.

“I’m afraid it’s unlikely that he’ll be a great-grandson.” Mo Yan lowered his eyes and turned the jade bracelet on his wrist. Suddenly, he raised his hand and pointed out the window, a meaningful smile flashing in his eyes. “You can see for yourselves.”

Bai Yu and Hei exchanged a glance upon hearing this, then curiously got out of bed and went to the window side by side.

The corners of their mouths twitched uncontrollably at the same time. On the shore of Poseidon Lake in the twilight, two figures were entangled together.

The boy in white was none other than Bei Bei, a familiar Shrek Academy student, while the woman in pink was none other than Tang Ya, the sect leader of the Tang Clan.

At this moment, she was clutching Beibei's clothes, their noses almost touching, their ambiguous atmosphere a mix of arguing and intimacy.

"How about we kidnap Tang Ya sometime and use her to blackmail Bei Bei into exchanging her for the Dragon Pill?" Bai Yu bit his lower lip, his eyes gleaming with calculation. "That would be a quick and easy way to save time and effort."

Hei and Mo Yan locked eyes, a hint of surprise flashing across their gazes simultaneously.

This seemingly crazy plan turned out to be more feasible than their painstakingly devised strategy of finding an apprentice.

"Isn't this a bit inappropriate?" Hei rubbed his chin, his tone hesitant.

"It's alright, brother, I'll handle this." Bai Yu casually tied his long hair up, his eyes filled with a fierce, eager spirit.

"Then it's up to you, little sister." Hei patted her shoulder, his tone as casual as if they were discussing what to have for dinner.

Bai Yu suddenly stopped moving, staring at Hei in disbelief: "Brother, you're such a hypocrite!"

Hei raised an eyebrow and chuckled, a sly glint in his eyes: "Isn't hypocrisy also a form of kindness?"

A brief silence fell, broken only by the sounds of laughter coming from outside the window.
