Douluo Continent: An Adventure Begins in Wuhun City

Seeing this, Tang Yuehua smiled, not suspecting anything further, and turned back to continue drinking.

Meanwhile, the young Soul Masters at the other table looked puzzled when they saw Chen Yao, a stranger, suddenly sit down in the middle of them.

A rather burly man was about to question them, but when the words reached his lips, he was horrified to find that he couldn't make a sound.

Chen Yao smiled, patted the man on the shoulder, and laughed in a voice that only the people at the table could hear.

"Kids, do you mind if I borrow your seats?"

Upon hearing this, the young men and women on the table were enveloped by a strange, chilling soul force, rendering them unable to move. They immediately shook their heads frantically with fear on their faces.

"Okay, then cooperate with me later."

Chen Yao nodded in satisfaction.

A moment later, a commotion suddenly broke out at the table. Chen Yao then stood up and went to Tang Yuehua's table again. Under Tang Yuehua's questioning gaze, Chen Yao helplessly pointed to the table behind him and said with a wry smile.

"I'm sorry, miss, I lost again. I may have to trouble you again."

"What's wrong with you? How did you lose again? Why did they insist that you come here to toast me?"

Perhaps because Chen Yao had left a fairly good impression on Tang Yuehua, Tang Yuehua's vigilance dissipated considerably, and she spoke with a touch of helplessness.

"Maybe they were all in couples, but they saw me alone and felt sorry for me, so they wanted me to make the first move?"

As Chen Yao handed the wine to Tang Yuehua, he pretended to be troubled and said...

"Alone? How could that be? Looking like that, no woman could resist you."

Tang Yuehua took the wine glass and said with some surprise.

"Oh? Really? But you just rejected me!"

Chen Yao blinked and said with an innocent expression.

"Puch!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Yuehua couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh out loud. In that instant, it was a beautiful sight, and Chen Yao couldn't help but lick his slightly dry lips.

Then you will hear Tang Yuehua say something.

"That's my problem. You're very good, but unfortunately, I already have someone I love."

Chen Yao was not surprised to hear this, because a beautiful woman drinking alone outside is most likely heartbroken.

But so what? A goal scored by the goalkeeper is what makes a great goal, especially since the goalkeeper appears to have already been sent off with a red card at this point.

"Really? That's such a shame. But I see you drinking alone here, looking so sad. It seems you're having some problems with him. Meeting is fate, could you tell me about it? Maybe I can help you?"

As he spoke, Chen Yao naturally sat down next to Tang Yuehua.

Having already had contact with him, Tang Yuehua didn't find Chen Yao's approach abrupt; she just looked melancholy and her mind was in turmoil.

At this moment, she had drunk quite a bit of wine, and she didn't feel much resistance to Chen Yao's closeness. A desire to confide in him welled up in her heart.

With a soft sigh, Tang Yuehua spoke.

"I've been in love with him since I was little. Standing by his side always makes me feel at ease, but unfortunately, because of our status and relationship, I don't dare to express my feelings..."

Tang Yuehua said with a bitter expression, raised her cup, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Why wouldn't I dare? Love is a matter between two people, it has nothing to do with anything else..."

Following Tang Yuehua's words, Chen Yao echoed her sentiments, while subtly pouring her another full glass of wine and pushing it in front of her.

"How could I not know? But I know even more clearly that if I confess my feelings, he won't accept them, and neither will his family or mine. He'll avoid me like the plague, and I'm afraid I'll never see him again. So I can only keep all of this hidden in my heart..."

Tang Yuehua became more and more excited as she spoke, her voice filled with obvious bitterness, and then she raised her glass again and drank it all in one gulp.

"This is... a forbidden love? Good heavens, incest!"

Although Tang Yuehua spoke cryptically, Chen Yao, with his rich experience, still guessed something and looked astonished.

"Whatever, who cares?"

But Chen Yao quickly calmed down and poured him another full glass...

······

As the night deepened and all was quiet, in a dimly lit alley outside the tavern, Tang Yuehua clung tightly to Chen Yao, slumped in his arms, her face streaked with tears, sobbing softly.

“I did hint to him, and he’s so smart, he must have understood my feelings, but he pretended not to know and kept his distance from me, leaving me alone to grieve. Chen Yao, tell me, how could he be so heartless?”

At this moment, Chen Yao had one arm around Tang Yuehua's slender and soft waist, and the other hand supporting her firm and perky buttocks, his mind wandering.

Hearing this, he snapped out of his daze, swallowed hard, and then gave a hint.

"Men are all like that. If you cling to them, they'll only get annoyed, but when you leave them, they'll regret it..."

Upon hearing this, Tang Yuehua, who was in his arms, suddenly paused, then abruptly raised her head, her dazed eyes fixed on Chen Yao's face.

"Chen Yao...you're right. I've been too good to him, and that's why he thinks I'm dispensable. I don't want to do this anymore. I want him to regret it!"

Without waiting for a reply, Tang Yuehua cupped Chen Yao's face and kissed him deeply.

Feeling the soft, tender flesh deftly slip into his mouth, Chen Yao's eyes widened, and he seemed to lose control.

And so, the two, inseparable, stumbled and staggered towards the dimly lit inn nearby...

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 97 Dawn broke, and I collapsed.

It was late at night.

Inside the room, a noble musician is performing with great enthusiasm on stage.

At this moment, she and her passionate, rough-moving dance partner were surprisingly in perfect sync, together displaying a beautiful and difficult dance.

As the atmosphere on stage grew increasingly heated, the musician's eyes widened, and a striking blush appeared on his exquisite yet noble face.

Finally, after the two performed with great enthusiasm, even the bright white moon in the night sky seemed to be moved.

······

The next day, Chen Yao stretched lazily, feeling the ease and joy of letting go of the burdens accumulated over the years, and couldn't help but smile.

He then glanced at the person beside him whose head was only half visible.

Her beautiful hair was disheveled and scattered on the bed, because she was too exhausted to clean it up before falling into a deep sleep.

Seeing this, Chen Yao couldn't help but shake his head. He had been suppressing his emotions for too long, which led to him going a bit too far last night.

As he pondered, Chen Yao slowly rose, dressed neatly, intending to retire gracefully as he always had, keeping his achievements and fame hidden.

"Well···"

However, at that moment, Tang Yuehua on the bed suddenly groaned softly, and then woke up.

She opened her eyes and stared blankly at the pristine white ceiling, her expression slightly dazed.

But the next moment, the aching pain that felt like being run over by a carriage all over her body brought Tang Yuehua back to her senses, her face filled with horror.

With trembling hands, she pulled back the covers, and what she saw was a shocking and horrifying scene that nearly made her faint.

"what!"

The next moment, a piercing scream rang out in the room, like a sharp sword that almost pierced a hole in the ceiling.

"Alright, that's too noisy, stop yelling."

Chen Yao picked at his ear and said impatiently.

As soon as she finished speaking, the screams stopped abruptly. Tang Yuehua turned her head sharply and looked at Chen Yao, who was already standing in the entrance hall. Her eyes were bloodshot and filled with angry killing intent.

"It was you! You did it! You...!"

As she spoke, Tang Yuehua tried to rush towards Chen Yao, but as soon as she stood up, she felt her body go limp and she lost her balance, falling heavily to the ground with a thud.

"Uh... Ah!"

Tang Yuehua screamed as she tried to get up, but the excruciating pain and weakness made it impossible for her to succeed.

In an instant, Tang Yuehua's heart sank to the bottom, feeling utterly desolate. She couldn't imagine what kind of inhuman torture and abuse she had endured last night to become so wretched.

Seeing Tang Yuehua's troublesome state, Chen Yao initially thought of leaving, but then he remembered the incredibly beautiful warmth and tenderness he had experienced the previous night.

In the end, he couldn't bear it, so he shook his head, went forward, carried her to the bed, and used the blankets to cover her delicate body covered with glaring red marks.

Then, facing Tang Yuehua's murderous gaze, Chen Yao sighed softly and shrugged.

"Take a good look back at what happened yesterday. I didn't force you."

Tang Yuehua was stunned upon hearing this. She hadn't had time to think about it when she woke up and faced such a huge shock.

But at this moment, with Chen Yao's reminder, the various fragments of what happened last night immediately surfaced clearly in his mind.

Especially after recalling the scene of her taking the initiative to hug Chen Yao and kiss him wildly, refusing to let go no matter what, Tang Yuehua was stunned, her heart bleeding and almost breaking apart.

My mind was a complete mess, and it took me several attempts to organize my thoughts before I could finally stammer out a sentence.

"You...you...you lied to me, otherwise why would I have done such a thing!"

Chen Yao was stunned for a moment upon hearing this.

"Big sister, please, what did I lie to you about? Is this your first day traveling...?"

At this point, Chen Yao paused, glanced at the dried blood plum blossoms on the bed, and his lips twitched slightly.

Then he spoke seriously.

"Even if this is your first time out, you're still an adult. These things are consensual, so don't try to pin everything on me. If you keep making trouble, I'm not going to play along."

"Am I being unreasonable?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Yuehua's face froze, her eyes filled with disbelief.

But seeing Chen Yao turn around as if to leave, he became anxious and shouted.

"Wait! You can't leave!"

Chen Yao paused, suppressing his impatience, and turned around to look back.

"Why?"

Hearing Chen Yao's somewhat indifferent tone, Tang Yuehua almost laughed out of anger, gritting her teeth as she spoke.
