Douluo Continent: An Adventure Begins in Wuhun City

As various sects and academies with guaranteed admission qualifications gradually arrived in Wuhun City, merchants also sensed the business opportunities, causing people from all over the world to flock to Wuhun City.

This made the already prosperous city even more prosperous, with the streets packed with people and bustling with activity.

At night, the scene becomes even more dazzling and decadent.

It's getting late.

After a period of time, the surge in soul power gained from absorbing the soul bone was transferred to Chen Yao, who had stabilized and adapted.

He picked up his money bag, put his hands behind his back, hummed a tune, and walked out of the Spirit Hall, looking every bit the landlord.

Back in Wuhun City, he had experienced many sessions of the Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament.

Although this kind of competition has nothing to do with him directly, it has to be said that Chen Yao always ate really well around this time of year.

Those female soul masters, who came from all over the world, were all exceptionally beautiful and charming.

Pure and lovely, aloof and noble, mature and charming, alluring and fiery—each with their own unique temperament, they are dazzling and captivating.

Therefore, Chen Yao would naturally not miss this opportunity.

However, just as he stepped out of the Spirit Hall's gate, a sudden gust of cold wind blew past him.

Chen Yao narrowed his eyes, sensing the overflowing soul power, and immediately confirmed who it was.

"Elder Ghost, why have you blocked my way?"

Chen Yao looked at the figure that appeared in front of him, clad in a black robe, whose true face was not visible, and said calmly.

"Young Yao, the reason Yue Guan and I attacked you that day was at the Pope's behest. Now that we are colleagues, I hope you won't hold it against us. I apologize on your behalf..."

Ghost spoke frankly, cupping his hands in a respectful gesture towards Chen Yao.

Having been in the game for so many days, Gui Mei had already figured out Chen Yao's identity. As Bibi Dong's right-hand man, he could see how much she valued Chen Yao.

In addition, there was the combat power that Chen Yao displayed as a six-ring Soul Emperor that day.

Ghostly figure couldn't even imagine what a terrifyingly powerful figure Chen Yao would become in the future.

Although he didn't know how the disciple he had abandoned years ago had grown to this level in such a short time, as Chen Yao's teacher for a period of time, Ghost knew Chen Yao's vindictive nature well.

So after figuring out Chen Yao's identity, Gui Mei couldn't sleep for days and nights.

Although he had his reasons for everything he had done to Chen Yao, he couldn't be sure whether Chen Yao would hold a grudge against him for abandoning him back then and for the previous pursuit.

So, after much deliberation, he decided to swallow his pride and come to Chen Yao to apologize, hoping that Chen Yao would not hold a grudge against him in the future.

Upon hearing Gui Mei's words, a hint of surprise flashed in Chen Yao's eyes. He was momentarily stunned, not expecting that Gui Mei had come to apologize to him.

Seeing that Chen Yao did not respond, the ghost in front looked worried and felt uneasy.

But the next moment, Chen Yao's soft chuckle pulled the ghost back to reality.

Then Chen Yao walked to the ghost's side and took out a plant from his soul tool.

Judging from its appearance, it is a grade nine purple fungus.

Although it is not among the celestial grade, it has a trace of the aura of the Nine Nether Immortal Lotus, which also has a very considerable effect on ghosts and demons.

After stuffing the ninth-grade purple fungus into the ghost's arms, Chen Yao spoke up.

"Elder Ghost, there's no need to worry about such a small matter. When Chen Yao first entered the Spirit Hall, he was grateful for Elder Ghost's care. Consider this purple fungus as a token of gratitude. If you don't know how to take it, you can ask Elder Moonlight."

With that, Chen Yao waved his hand and turned to leave.

Although the master-disciple relationship between Chen Yao and the ghost had long been severed.

However, Chen Yao knew that it was because he was hopeless back then, so he did not harbor any resentment.

On the contrary, if it weren't for the fact that he often used the name of ghosts when he was a butler on the outskirts, he wouldn't have been able to live such a comfortable life.

Therefore, in the final analysis, Chen Yao can be said to be grateful to the ghosts.

At this moment, the ghost looked at the ninth-grade purple fungus in its hand, then at Chen Yao's departing figure, its expression blank and lost in thought.

······

Once on the street, Chen Yao skillfully avoided the surging crowds and arrived at a tavern with extremely luxurious decorations.

Looking at that familiar and eye-catching sign, Chen Yao's lips curled up, and a look of reminiscence appeared in his eyes.

Without further hesitation, I pushed open the door and stepped inside.

The tavern was rather quiet, perhaps because it was still early.

Chen Yao was not surprised.

He used to do the same thing, arriving early so that he wouldn't miss any beautiful scenery or opportunities.

After arriving at the front desk and ordering a drink, Chen Yao's gaze casually swept across the bar.

But when his gaze fell upon a corner, Chen Yao's expression froze, and his eyes widened.

In that corner, a woman dressed in a simple dress was drinking alone.

Although the robe was loose, Chen Yao's sharp eyes could still see through it and discern how voluptuous, graceful, and charming the figure hidden beneath was.

Then there was the woman's sideways position facing Chen Yao. Although her hair was hanging down and obscuring her true face, the delicate profile that was vaguely revealed made Chen Yao's eyes light up, and he couldn't help but want to find out more.

"I knew it! The early bird catches the worm!"

With a smile on his lips, Chen Yao downed the wine in his glass in one gulp, then ordered two more glasses before heading towards that corner with his drinks.

······

Tang Yuehua came to the Spirit Hall with her clansmen to participate in the Elite Soul Master Tournament mainly to find out the whereabouts of her two missing brothers.

Unexpectedly, even in the extremely prosperous Wuhun City, there was no trace of Tang Hao and his companion.

Feeling depressed, she came to this tavern to drown her sorrows. However, just as she was pouring wine into her mouth, a gentle and polite voice suddenly came from beside her.

"Miss, may I buy you a drink?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Yuehua frowned. She always encountered these annoying flies whenever she went out, and she felt extremely annoyed. She turned her head away, about to scold them.

However, the moment he turned his head and saw that fair and alluring face, he was stunned, and a look of amazement flashed in his eyes.

What a face that even women would envy...

Looking at the face in front of her, Tang Yuehua murmured to herself.

But he quickly came to his senses.

Undeniably, the person in front of him possessed a breathtaking beauty that would surely make many women drool.

Unfortunately, due to living in the Haotian Sect and the influence of his two older brothers, he was unable to continue his studies.

Tang Yuehua preferred her brother Tang Hao, a man with a tall, muscular build, strong facial features, and an aura of masculinity.

I don't particularly like the person in front of me.

"I apologize."

However, Tang Yuehua no longer felt the anger of being disturbed. She simply smiled faintly, politely declined Chen Yao's offer, and then turned away to focus her attention on her wine glass.

Chen Yao was not surprised to see this.

Although he considers himself good-looking, he is not a gold soul coin after all. Everyone has their own aesthetic sense, and he cannot please everyone.

However, Chen Yao was not discouraged; the more this happened, the more it tested his skills.

Chen Yao tapped the table with two fingers, making a sound that once again drew Tang Yuehua's attention.

She frowned and turned to look at Chen Yao.

Is this person going to pester me relentlessly after failing to strike up a conversation?

Thinking to herself, a hostile glint flashed in Tang Yuehua's eyes.

Although her strength was lacking, the Haotian Sect members who came this time all lived nearby, so as long as she called out, they would notice.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be here alone, drowning her sorrows.

However, just as Tang Yuehua was feeling displeased, she suddenly saw the bitter smile on Chen Yao's face.

He pointed to a table not far from this table, where a group of young people were gathered, and said with a wry smile.

“I lost a bet with my friends, and since they saw you sitting here alone, they wanted me to offer you a toast. If I didn’t succeed, they’d make me drink three big glasses when I got home!”

"I can't hold my liquor very well, and it would be very embarrassing if I got drunk, so miss, could you do me a favor?"

As he spoke, Chen Yao winked sincerely at Tang Yuehua.

Upon hearing this, Tang Yuehua glanced at the table not far away, then at Chen Yao.

She wanted to refuse, but looking into his sincere eyes, she softened and hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

"Okay... just one drink..."

Upon seeing this, a smile flashed in Chen Yao's eyes.

As Chen Shi Chunqiu says, if there are no wingmen, then create wingmen; anything is possible.

"Row!"

As he spoke, Chen Yao pushed the glass of wine in his hand toward Tang Yuehua.

"Wait, I'll drink yours."

Upon seeing this, Tang Yuehua suddenly spoke up.

Although she agreed to Chen Yao's request, she remained vigilant. When traveling, one must be wary of the treacherous nature of people.

"It's impossible."

Chen Yao didn't offer much explanation, and then switched the two glasses of wine.

Seeing that Chen Yao had drunk it all in one gulp, Tang Yuehua finally put aside her doubts and drank the glass of wine in her hand.

Seeing that Tang Yuehua had drunk the wine, Chen Yao didn't say much, but just smiled and nodded at her.

Tang Yuehua's gaze fell upon the table he had previously pointed to, which was filled with young male and female soul masters.
