Douluo Continent: Ning Rongrong? Even a dog wouldn't chase her.

The poison array before him was essentially useless against him.

"Okay, then we'll wait for you here."

Gu Rong and the other man naturally had no objections, as they did not possess the same abilities as Gu Yi.

Gu Yi nodded and disappeared from their sight in the blink of an eye.

After several flashes, he finally returned to this place—the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.

"Hmm? How should I put it?"

"Why does it look even better?"

Gu Yi looked around but didn't see Xiao Wu, and even Dugu Bo was nowhere to be found.

But whether it was his imagination or not, he felt that the ice-red Yin-Yang Eyes seemed to have been groomed, making them look even more beautiful and pleasing to the eye.

"Little dance!"

Seeing that Xiao Wu was nowhere to be seen nearby, Gu Yi began to call out loudly.

At the same time, he began to wander around the vicinity of the Yin-Yang Well, trying to find Xiao Wu's figure.

But just as he staggered to the foot of the mountain on the other side, he discovered that there was actually a wooden house there.

The wooden house was built by the water, next to a clear lake. Although the house looked a bit simple, it was still quite nice.

Dugu Bo definitely won't build a house here; that would be too much trouble. He can rest at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

So who built this wooden house? The answer is already quite obvious.

"It seems that Xiao Wu is there."

As he spoke, a smile appeared on Gu Yi's face. He used his soul skill again, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived at the lakeside.

But then, the scene before him left him completely bewildered.

Before him stood a slender, graceful young woman with fair, alabaster-like skin, bathing in the lake.

The sudden appearance of Gu Yi startled her, and for a moment, both of them froze on the spot.

Their eyes met, and both of their minds went blank.

"Gu Yi?"

Chapter 99 Favorability Improvement

"Ok!"

At the same time, the two turned around. Gu Yi was so embarrassed that he couldn't stand it, while Xiao Wu's face turned bright red with embarrassment.

Neither of them had ever imagined that their first meeting after their separation would be like this.

"Well... well, I really didn't mean to. I couldn't find you up there, so I came down."

"You continue, I'll step aside, I'll wait for you upstairs."

Gu Yi broke the deadlock first, stammering awkwardly as he hurriedly explained.

After saying that, he left quickly without waiting for Xiao Wu's response.

In the lake, Xiao Wu held her hands to her chest, not daring to move. She pricked up her ears, listening carefully to the sounds around her.

Only after everything had completely quieted down did she tentatively turn around and look at the spot where Gu Yi had been standing.

She only breathed a sigh of relief after she was absolutely certain that Gu Yi had left.

But what had just happened was clearly still in her mind; the blush on her pretty face hadn't faded, but instead turned even redder.

'Oh dear! How could this happen?'

How am I supposed to see Zhu Qing after this? How am I supposed to see Gu Yi?

At this moment, Xiao Wu was both shy and annoyed. She felt a mess in her heart, but she did not feel disgusted.

"Never mind, I'd better get dressed first and listen to what Gu Yi wants to see me about."

After much deliberation, Xiao Wu decided to go up and meet Gu Yi first.

Let's see what he suddenly wanted to do by coming back to find me.

She quickly got dressed, wearing the same outfit as before.

Having stayed in Sunset Forest for so long, she had no chance to go out and buy new clothes.

She could only alternate between her spare clothes and the outfit she was wearing.

After she had tidied herself up, she took a deep breath, as if trying to calm her emotions.

But the moment she did that, the image from before reappeared vividly in her mind.

"No, no! Phew! Xiao Wu, you can do it."

Xiao Wu patted her cheeks, encouraging herself once again.

Immediately, she climbed up the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well with great ease and immediately spotted Gu Yi, who was facing away from where she had just been.

Judging from his back, Gu Yi seemed quite calm at the moment, not at all as flustered as he had been just now.

"Gu Yi!"

"Why did you suddenly come back? Is there something you need?"

Seeing that Gu Yi was completely unaware of her presence, Xiao Wu immediately spoke up to remind him.

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yi was startled. He turned his head stiffly, clearly still somewhat embarrassed.

"Cough cough!"

"Nothing much, it's just that there's been no progress on what I promised you before."

"Since I was able to come back recently, I thought I'd let you see your aunt again."

"This will help you alleviate your longing for your aunt."

Gu Yi coughed lightly twice, then slowly explained.

"That's it, I understand."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu felt a little down, but she didn't react much.

She only replied softly, and then made no further move.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room seemed a little awkward.

"Ahem! Well then, let me take you into my domain first."

“During this time, you can talk freely with your aunt inside.”

Gu Yi naturally sensed the atmosphere and immediately prepared to break the awkward situation.

"and many more!"

“I’m not in a hurry right now. Can you tell me where you’ve been and what you’ve been doing all this time?”

Just as Gu Yi was about to make a move, Xiao Wu interrupted him.

She's been staying here all these days, with no one to chat with, no one to play with, and no one to joke around with.

There are only those soul beasts and the immortal herbs here.

She had been incredibly bored lately, and all she could do each day was bully spirit beasts and cultivate.

She missed her mother very much, but now, she wanted to know even more what Gu Yi had been through these past few days.

She had almost forgotten about the outside world and was very curious.

"Uh, of course, let me start from when we arrived at the Spirit Hall."

"That day, we were attacked by two guards..."

Faced with Xiao Wu's request, Gu Yi naturally did not refuse and immediately began to tell Xiao Wu about what he had been doing all year.

He told her everything in great detail, and Xiao Wu listened very carefully and attentively.

She even began to dream about it. She stared blankly at Gu Yi's face, and her mind even imagined herself in his shoes.

Her figure overlapped with Zhu Zhuqing's, and eventually, she even completely replaced Zhu Zhuqing's figure.

In her fantasy, she went to the Spirit Hall with Gu Yi, and she went to conduct practical training with Gu Yi.

She immersed herself in all the fun, interesting, and even heartwarming scenes, enjoying and becoming completely absorbed in them.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have gained 60% favorability with Xiao Wu. You are rewarded with 1 Ancient Spirit Beast Inner Core, 1 Divine Soul Ring, and 1 Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone."

"This soul bone is taken from the right leg bone of a 100,000-year-old one-horned Tyrannosaurus Rex. Soul bone skill: [Dragon Tail Sweep: After locking onto the target, a kick is unleashed, summoning different powerful dragon souls depending on the soul power. The dragon souls will lock onto the target and will always hit.]"

Gu Yi was speaking when the sudden system notification startled him.

There were so many unexpected things happening today!

The last resurrection material was gathered so easily?

Can telling Xiaowu a story instantly increase her favorability by 20%?

Gu Yi was a little puzzled. When did the favorability rating increase so quickly?

But little did Gu Yi know that it was time that helped him. In the long period of loneliness and boredom, Xiao Wu's heart had become extremely empty.

Gu Yi's appearance today is just the right thing to fill the void in Xiao Wu's heart.

"What's wrong? Why did you stop talking?"

Xiao Wu was still engrossed in the story Gu Yi was telling, but he suddenly stopped, which made her a little anxious.

"Xiao Wu, we'll talk about these things later. Now, come with me into the domain space."

Now that he has finally gathered all the materials needed to revive Xiao Wu's mother, he doesn't want to delay any longer.

Fortunately, he currently possesses two experience cards for Title Douluo, and he can use one of them to help Xiao Wu's mother be resurrected.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Xiao Wu was a little confused. Wasn't she explaining things very well just now? What's going on now?
