Wuhun Luo Sanpao? I am the Dragon Emperor!

Chapter 172 A Twist of Fate: Tang Hao and Tang Xiao Encounter Ah Yin
Yu Xiaolie took Shui Qing'er and A Yin on a trip across the mainland, enjoying themselves immensely.

Time flies, and another year has passed.

At this moment, the morning sunlight filters through the gaps in the dense forest leaves, casting dappled light and shadow on the ground covered with pine needles.

It's too early now; the mist that fell in the woods last night hasn't completely dissipated, and the air is still filled with the fresh scent of earth and grass.

Ah Yin was walking barefoot on the soft moss, and Blue Silver Grass was spontaneously growing out from under her feet.

"Xiao Lie, look at this!"

Another clear female voice rang out; it was Shui Qing'er.

She was squatting under an old tree, waving excitedly at Yu Xiaolie.

In her hands, she held a crystal-clear, ice-blue flower, its petals still glistening with morning dew, sparkling in the sunlight.

"Xiao Lie! I've only ever seen this kind of flower in the snowy mountains of Tianshui City. I never expected to find it here."

Yu Xiaolie walked over, and the little dragon followed him eagerly.

This little guy has gained even more weight recently; his round body bounces on the ground like a ball when he runs.

Ultimately, it was the two women who took such good care of it.

It squeaked and rushed to Shui Qing'er's feet, curiously sniffing the flower. But it was so cold that it sneezed, which made Shui Qing'er giggle.

Yu Xiaolie rubbed the dragon cub's head, then squatted down to examine the flower closely.

“Yes, this is an Ice Crystal Orchid, it’s indeed very rare.” He turned to look at Ah Yin and said:

"Ah Yin, you can release your life force. Would you like to try and see if you can cultivate it?"

Upon hearing this, Ah Yin walked over. She glanced at it briefly, and soon, a faint blue light appeared on her fingertips.

She gently touched the petals, and the flower immediately began to grow at a visible speed, quickly blossoming into a small cluster of flowers.

The dragon cub stared wide-eyed, curiously reaching out to touch the crystal flower with its claws. The crystal flower shattered, startling the dragon cub so much that it shook its claws, making the three of them burst into laughter.

"Look over there!"

At this moment, Shui Qing'er suddenly pointed to an open space not far away.

Looking in the direction she was pointing, I saw that the area was full of various wild fruits, including bright red raspberries, blueberries, and wild hawthorns, which looked particularly tempting.

So, the three people and the pig immediately started a picking competition.

Of course, the requirement is that you are not allowed to use soul skills.

Ah Yin's Blue Silver Grass could easily reach the fruits on the high places, giving him a significant lead.

Shui Qing'er and Yu Xiaolie were not to be outdone, and they both began to think of ways to help.

Shui Qing'er possesses the Phoenix Martial Soul and has mastered the skill of flight, so she consistently ranks second in the fruits she picks.

Yu Xiaolie, on the other hand, is different. No matter how he uses the dragon cub or the Asura Demon Sword, he just doesn't feel comfortable using them.

Moreover, if the Asura Demon Sword were used, the vegetation here would probably wither immediately.

But the dragon cub wasn't idle. With Yu Xiaolie's frantic shaking of the branches, it continuously swallowed and spat out the fruits on the ground, precisely sorting them and stuffing them into its belly.

At least on the surface, it picked far fewer pieces than Ah Yin and Shui Qing'er.

The three of them had a great time.

When the final results were announced, it was clear that Agin had won.

But then, the dragon cub shook its head, clearly dissatisfied with the outcome. Then, it opened its mouth wide, and different fruits appeared before the three of them.

Ah Yin and Shui Qing'er gaped, forced to admit that the dragon cub had won in the end.

"Greedy."

Shui Qing'er smiled and handed over the raspberries. The little dragon immediately swallowed them whole with great joy, only to have his face scrunch up from the sourness, which made the three of them burst into laughter.

At noon, Yu Xiaolie found a clear stream to rest by.

Ah Yin wove a hammock out of blue silver grass and lay lazily on it, basking in the sun.

Shui Qing'er took off her shoes and socks, and immersed her jade-like feet in the cool stream water, gently swaying them, letting the clear water flow freely over each of her crystal-clear toes.

Yu Xiaolie leaned against a big tree, and the dragon cub was dozing on his lap, making soft snoring sounds.

Shui Qing'er looked up at the blue sky and said softly, "These days are so nice. There are no sect affairs, no pressure of cultivation, just the three of us." A Yin leaned out of the hammock, her long silver-blue hair hanging down, and chimed in, "Yes, I wish it could stay like this forever."

Yu Xiaolie looked at them, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.

During that year, they traveled all over the continent, from the west to the far east, enjoying the scenery while cultivating their skills.

Although they encountered dangers from attacks by soul beasts along the way, they mostly enjoyed peaceful moments like today.

But suddenly, Ah Yin's expression turned serious. She sat up abruptly from the hammock, and with a flash of blue light, the Blue Silver Grass rapidly spread outwards from her.

"There's the aura of a soul beast!"

As the Blue Silver Grass ventured further and further afield, the information it gathered was rapidly transmitted back. Ah Yin frowned and said:
"It's a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast! Moreover, it also possesses two very strong soul master auras!"

Just as she finished speaking, the bushes in front of her began to shake violently.

Before long, a huge cave spider king fled in panic, with many wounds on its body and purple blood dripping continuously.

It's easy to see that this ten-thousand-year-old soul beast was seriously injured. When it saw Yu Xiaolie and the other two, it didn't even have the intention to attack, and simply bypassed them to continue its escape.

Just as the Cave Spider King burrowed into the opposite woods, two figures emerged from behind.

They were two burly young men, both dressed in dark gray close-fitting clothes, and holding similarly shaped black giant hammers in their hands. They were none other than the number one weapon spirit in the world: the Clear Sky Hammer!
The young man running in front had a resolute face and an imposing aura between his brows, while the one behind him looked younger, but his eyes were sharper and his whole body was filled with a domineering aura.

Yu Xiaolie recognized the newcomers as none other than the Haotian Twins!
Tang Xiao and Tang Hao.

They were clearly taken aback when they saw the three people by the stream.

Their gazes lingered on Ah Yin and Shui Qing'er for a moment. Ah Yin's elegant and gentle beauty, and Shui Qing'er's ethereal charm stirred their hearts, and they were so captivated by their gazes that they became somewhat lost in thought.

But when Tang Hao's gaze fell on Yu Xiaolie, he froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.

Tang Xiao noticed Tang Hao's change and then asked in a low voice, "You two know each other?"

Tang Hao spoke hoarsely, his tone suggesting he wanted to devour Yu Xiaolie, gritting his teeth as he said, "It's more than just knowing him, it's like we've met our sworn enemies! Brother, he is Yu Xiaolie!"

Since Tang Hao was injured by Yu Xiaolie at the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's grand ceremony, he returned to the sect and recuperated for a full year. Yu Xiaolie also became a deep-seated problem for Tang Hao.

Everyone in the Soul Master world is saying that the number one young talent among the seven major sects of Douluo Continent is Yu Xiaolie of the Blue Lightning Sect.

The Haotian Twins ranked second, and were completely outmatched.

Therefore, in order to prevent the Haotian Twins from falling behind the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Tang Yue asked the two brothers to travel for ten years.

In the past few years, Tang Hao has been thinking about revenge all the time. He has been cultivating more and more diligently, all for the sake of wiping away his shame one day.

Now, nine years have passed, and his strength has improved by leaps and bounds, far surpassing the level he reached at the Blue Lightning Sect Grand Ceremony.

As luck would have it, he ran into Yu Xiaolie again at this very moment. Wasn't this fate giving him a chance to vent his anger?

Immediately, the Ten Thousand Year Cave Demon Spider King stopped chasing, and the two of them stood still, looking at Yu Xiaolie with hostility.

Yu Xiaolie slowly stood up, and A Yin and Shui Qing'er immediately came to his side, looking at the Haotian Twins opposite him with some wariness.

Tang Xiao sized Yu Xiaolie up and down, his eyes turning vicious, and said coldly:
"You're the one who hurt my brother Hao?"

As he spoke, Tang Xiao raised the Haotian Hammer and pointed it at Yu Xiaolie, saying:

"Yu Xiaolie, what goes around comes around. Today we have to fight! The loser will be a lackey for life! And will have to go back to the sect and announce the defeat to the world! Do you dare?!"

Tang Xiao and Tang Hao seemed to have finally seized the opportunity to restore their prestige and couldn't wait.

Yu Xiaolie remained calm and said indifferently, "It doesn't matter."

I will not offend others unless they offend me; if they do offend me, I will eliminate them completely! This has always been Yu Xiaolie's attitude.

Since you, Haotian Twins, have taken the initiative to provoke us, then bring it on!
Tang Xiao sneered, his gaze sweeping over Ah Yin and Shui Qing'er, and said, "Don't say we're bullying the few with the many of us. If you need women's help, you can send them on stage."

"unnecessary."

Yu Xiaolie said calmly, while giving Ah Yin and Shui Qing'er a wink.

A-Yin understood and pulled Shui-Qing-Er back to a safe distance. Both of them had absolute confidence in Yu Xiao-Lie.

Even if a titled Douluo came, he might not be able to gain any advantage over him.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the forest was tense and ready to fight.
