Douluo Continent: Dark Demon God Biao, inheriting the position of an evil god

Chapter 62 Four Years
Four years have passed in the blink of an eye.

White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

Two shirtless teenagers were fighting hand-to-hand in the courtyard.

One of the boys, with blond hair and a strong physique, was Dai Huabin.

The other boy had neat black hair, a well-proportioned and agile figure, and his brows had lost their childishness, showing more composure and sharpness. He was Dai Yuntian.

After a long time.

Dai Huabin was panting heavily, his clothes soaked with sweat, his whole body aching from the beating. Finally, he could only helplessly wave his hand, slump to the ground, and say with a wry smile:
"I'm not fighting anymore, Third Brother! You're a monster! I must have been crazy to spar with you; it was just asking for trouble!"

It was obvious that the black-haired boy still had the upper hand. His breathing was steady, his complexion was normal, and he didn't even sweat much. He seemed to be in complete control.

Dai Yuntian chuckled and said, "Second Brother's strength is already very strong. At least there are few people your age who can rival you."

This is true.

In this life, he has his "monster" younger brother, Dai Yuntian, as a role model and sparring partner.

Dai Huabin cultivated with exceptional diligence, and his strength far surpassed that of his contemporaries in the original story. He had already broken through level 30 and become a level 33 Soul Master.

However, compared to Dai Yuntian, who was even more "inhuman," they still seemed insignificant.

Dai Huabin took the towel handed to him by the maid, wiped his face haphazardly, and sighed: "Sigh, forget it, being with you is almost destroying my confidence. I am a Soul Venerable, but in your hands I am like a punching bag."

Dai Yuntian smiled but didn't reply.

Some gaps cannot be easily bridged by hard work alone.

Just then, Zhu Yun'er's joyful voice came from outside the courtyard: "Yun'er, come out quickly and see who's here?"

Upon hearing this, Dai Huabin got up and left.

"Second brother, aren't you going to come and take a look?"

"forget it."

Dai Huabin shook his head. He probably already guessed who it was, and he couldn't be bothered to be a third wheel.

Dai Yuntian shook his head helplessly, straightened his clothes, and walked out of the courtyard.

I had just reached the doorway and hadn't even seen who it was when I arrived.

A petite figure, carrying a fragrant breeze, suddenly rushed into his arms like a swallow returning to its nest, her slender arms tightly encircling his waist.

"Brother Yuntian!"

The girl's clear voice was filled with barely suppressed joy.

Dai Yuntian looked down.

The girl in his arms had bright eyes and white teeth, and skin as white as snow. Who else could she be but Zhu Lu?

Four years have passed, and the timid little girl has blossomed into a graceful and beautiful young woman.

But those big eyes that looked at him were still filled with unreserved trust and affection.

What pleased him most was that the meal he had treated Zhu Lu to before hadn't been wasted; the baby had grown in the right places.

Dai Yuntian smiled naturally: "Lulu, what brings you here all of a sudden?"

Zhu Lu blushed slightly, somewhat embarrassed, and let go of his hand, answering honestly:

“My father sent me here. He said I’m old enough to go to school with you, Brother Yuntian, so that we can look after each other.”

As she spoke, her voice grew softer and softer, and her cheeks turned even redder.

She was clearly well aware of her father's intentions in making this "arrangement".

Upon hearing this, Dai Yuntian understood and smiled gently: "In that case, let's go together. Let's go to school together tomorrow."

Zhu Lu nodded vigorously: "Mm."

……

The next day.

A richly decorated carriage, pulled by four magnificent celestial horses, was already parked outside the mansion gate.

Dai Yuntian walked to the side of the carriage, lifted the curtain, and was surprised to see Long Xiaoyao sitting inside with his eyes closed, resting.

He was taken aback for a moment: "Elder Long? You're going to Shrek Academy too?"

He remembered that Long Xiaoyao had mentioned before that he would return to the Sun Moon Empire to handle some personal matters after returning from Xingluo, and he didn't expect to be traveling with him. Long Xiaoyao didn't even lift his eyelids, and snorted lightly through his nose: "Hmph, it's just on the way. The main thing is that I'm afraid that if some old guy dies quietly one day, there won't even be anyone to collect his body. I'll keep an eye on him so that he won't be left to rot in the wilderness."

Dai Yun was taken aback at first, then understood.

Who else could be the "old guy" that Long Xiaoyao was talking about besides Mu En?

He smiled slightly, without revealing the truth: "I see. With Elder Long traveling with us, the journey will be much safer."

At this moment, Dai Yuntian noticed that only Zhu Lu was standing next to his mother, Zhu Yun'er, but Dai Huabin was nowhere to be seen. He asked in confusion:
"Mother, where's Second Brother? Isn't he going to the academy with us?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yun'er couldn't help but laugh and scold, "You silly child, you're still thinking about your second brother? He packed his things and left yesterday."

As she spoke, Zhu Yun'er revealed a teasing and mischievous smile, her gaze sweeping back and forth between Dai Yuntian and Zhu Lu, whose cheeks were slightly flushed beside her.

She then lowered her voice, leaned closer to Dai Yuntian, and advised him in a tone of someone sharing "valuable experience":
"Yun'er, let me tell you, once you get to the academy, you two absolutely cannot live together!"

"The dorms at Shrek Academy have very thin walls; they're not soundproof at all!"

"Wouldn't it be bad if this caused a commotion? Even if... cough, even if you really want to live together, you'll have to wait until the holidays and find a place outside the academy yourself, understand?"

As soon as these words came out.

Zhu Lu, standing next to Dai Yuntian, blushed instantly and instinctively shrank behind him, wishing she could disappear into the ground.

Even Dai Yuntian blushed deeply at his mother's overly blunt admonition, coughing awkwardly, "Mom, what... what are you talking about?!"

Is this something that can be said in broad daylight?

Seeing her son and future daughter-in-law both blushing with embarrassment, Zhu Yun'er finally smiled contentedly and waved her hand, saying:
"Alright, alright, Mom won't say anymore, let's get in the car."

Dai Yuntian and Zhu Lu felt as if they had been granted a pardon and quickly climbed into the second carriage one after the other.

Zhu Yun'er carefully instructed the coachman on safety precautions on the road before stepping back a few paces to watch the carriage go.

With a gentle flick of the reins, the soul beast let out a low growl and set off, and the two luxurious carriages slowly started moving, driving away from the White Tiger Duke's mansion.

Target—Shrek Academy.

The carriage was traveling smoothly on the official road leading to Shrek Academy.

Inside the carriage, Dai Yuntian was resting with his eyes closed, while Zhu Lu quietly watched the scenery outside the window.

Suddenly, her soul power fluctuated unstablely, and her aura surged.

"Ok?"

Dai Yuntian immediately opened his eyes, and Long Xiaoyao also turned his gaze towards him.

Zhu Lu's face showed a hint of surprise and a little panic: "Brother Yuntian, I...I think I'm about to break through!"

She had been stuck at level 29 for some time, but unexpectedly, she suddenly broke through during this journey.

Dai Yuntian sensed the active soul power within her body and confirmed that it was indeed a sign of breaking through to level 30.

He made a quick decision and instructed the coachman, "Change the route. We won't go to Shrek City. Instead, we'll go to the Starry Sky Forest."

The driver obeyed and immediately turned the horse around.

After the arrangements are made.

Dai Yuntian looked at Zhu Lu, who was diligently guiding her soul power in preparation for breaking through her bottleneck, and couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.

The Zhu family of Xingluo has truly spared no expense!
You could even say they went all in.

The Zhu family has a history of over ten thousand years, and their most precious possessions are two top-grade inherited soul bones.

A left leg bone of extremely high quality from a Netherworld Ghost Leopard with 85,000 years of cultivation.

The other piece is the right leg bone of a Netherworld Spirit Cat, which is 95,000 years old and almost 100,000 years old, and can be called the clan's treasure!

According to family tradition, such a treasure is usually only bestowed upon the next head of the family, meaning that women are generally not eligible to inherit it.

However, the Zhu family devoted almost everything to Zhu Lu, nurturing her without regard to cost.

Not only did she receive far more resources than her peers, but these two top-grade soul bones, which could be considered the lifeblood of the family, were bestowed upon her when she was still just a Great Soul Master.

The profound meaning behind this is self-evident!

It was precisely because of these two top-grade soul bones that Zhu Lu's cultivation speed was able to far exceed that of the original work, allowing her to reach the threshold of level 30 a year ahead of schedule.

Otherwise, given her original talent, it would have been impossible for her to achieve such rapid progress.

P.S.: Next up is to snatch Electrolux!
