Douluo Continent: An Adventure Begins in Wuhun City

Upon hearing Tang Yuehua's words, Chen Yao's eyes immediately darted around, a deep smile flashing in his eyes.

I was in a rush and didn't manage to get involved with that couple, which is a bit of a regret.

Unexpectedly, he was now given a chance to make up for his regrets, and he even had a child, which added to his score. In addition, with Tang Yuehua's request, Chen Yao felt that if he didn't take action and save that woman, he would be worse than an animal.

As he pondered, Chen Yao's soul power surged forth.

"Yuehua, I think you're right. I'll go save them right now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yao's figure disappeared.

The next moment, it appeared above the head of the bird-beast soaring high in the sky.

"Gah!"

The bird was clearly caught off guard by the human who suddenly appeared above it, and its eyes showed surprise.

Before it could react, a jet-black tentacle pierced through its enormous head.

The bird or beast felt a sharp pain on its head, its vision went black, and then it lost its breath and fell from the sky.

This bird-beast was only about 5 years old, far weaker than the giant bat they had encountered in Hell Road. Facing Chen Yao, whose soul rings had all been restored, it naturally had no chance to resist.

Chen Yao landed slowly and came to the corpse of the soul beast. Six soul rings rose up behind him, and the third soul ring began to shine. Then, a terrifying suction force surged out.

Subsequently, the carcass of the bird-beast, along with the black spirit ring that had already risen on its body, began to decompose, turning into black particles of light, which then all disappeared into the third spirit ring.

At the same time, Chen Yao felt the changes in his third soul skill and immediately clicked his tongue.

"Too weak, but better than nothing."

He slowly shook his head, then turned around and looked at the mother and child behind him.

The woman had already sensed the commotion, and although she was somewhat surprised to see someone come to her aid, she still stopped in her tracks.

It wasn't that she was unsuspecting; it was simply that with her current physical strength, even if she wanted to run, she couldn't run for much longer. So she could only hope to help them. She was truly a kind passerby, not someone with ulterior motives.

When Chen Yao walked up to her, the woman was clearly taken aback.

As a woman of high rank and power, her observational skills were naturally astonishing. Even after many years apart, she could still sense a hint of familiarity from Chen Yao's features.

"It seems you still remember me somewhat. Let me give you a hint: in Tiandou City, outside those luxury boutiques, you were with your man back then."

Chen Yao smiled as he looked at the woman's stunned expression.

The woman was taken aback upon hearing this. After a moment of thought, she exclaimed in surprise.

"It was you?!"

She never imagined that she would encounter the man she had only met once years ago in such a desperate situation.

As for why this person would lend a helping hand, the woman understood from Chen Yao's unrestrained, burning gaze that kept sweeping over her sensitive areas.

However, the woman did not resist this, because her daughter had been saved because of it, and she herself had already suffered irreparable injuries from the attack of the soul beast. Time was running out, and she probably wouldn't be able to give Chen Yao what he wanted, nor would she betray her husband.

"Why did you bring a child into the forest and get attacked by a soul beast?"

Although Chen Yao had ill intentions, he was still somewhat wary, worried that he might have fallen for a honey trap. Although he wasn't afraid, he didn't like the feeling of being tricked.

Upon hearing this, the woman forced a smile and weakly said...

"My husband recently broke through to level 70. Since an elder from the sect was leading the team, I thought there wouldn't be any accidents, so I took our daughter out for some fresh air. But unexpectedly, we encountered a strange riot of soul beasts in the forest."

In the chaos, I was separated from my husband and daughter, and we even encountered that soul beast. If it weren't for my benefactor, my daughter and I would probably have died in its jaws. Bai Jie thanks you, my benefactor!

As she spoke, the woman knelt on the ground and began to kowtow.

"There's no need for such a grand gesture."

Just kidding, Chen Yao didn't want to be her benefactor. He was about to help the woman up when he suddenly felt her body go limp. Looking down, he saw that the woman had already collapsed weakly into his arms.

Just as Chen Yao was completely bewildered, the woman used her last bit of strength to place the still-unconscious child in her arms into Chen Yao's hands. Then, a smile appeared on her pale, bloodless face.

"My benefactor, I am dying. I have no way to repay your great kindness, but I dare to ask you for one more favor: to take care of my daughter for a while. My husband should be searching for me in the forest right now; he will find me soon. He will then give you a satisfactory reward."

After saying that, Bai Jie's gaze lost focus under Chen Yao's blank stare, and her hands fell limply to her sides.

"Huh, he's dead already?"

Chen Yao finally came to his senses. Looking at the woman in his arms who was completely lifeless, his lips twitched wildly, and all he wanted to do was curse.

"Mommy, Mommy!"

The delicate child still in Chen Yao's arms was unaware of what had happened, but seeing her mother's eyes closed and motionless, she panicked, tears welled up in her eyes, and she began to cry helplessly.

But at this moment, her mother, who used to dote on her in every way, could no longer give her any response.

Upon seeing this, Chen Yao also felt a sudden headache coming on.

This time, he tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice instead.

They placed the woman's body on the ground.

He then grabbed the girl by the collar, pulled her close, and stood far away. Looking at her pitiful, tear-streaked face, Chen Yao's expression flashed with disgust before he put on a fierce look and said in a harsh voice.

"Child, stop crying. Your mother is dead. If you keep crying, I'll send you to see her!"

However, upon hearing Chen Yao's fierce words, the child in his arms became even more out of control and burst into tears.

"Ah Yao, what's going on?"

Just as Chen Yao was having a headache, Tang Yuehua and the others finally arrived. They stared blankly at the little girl in Chen Yao's arms and the corpse on the ground, and asked in confusion.

"That woman hasn't even repaid her debt of gratitude yet, and she just left a girl behind and died. I've really lost out this time. Ah Yin, come quickly and see if you can bring this woman back to life?"

Chen Yao grabbed the girl's collar and said with a frustrated expression.

Ah Yin was taken aback upon hearing this, then looked at the lifeless woman on the ground and said speechlessly.

"Hey, if this woman were just seriously injured and dying, I might have some way to deal with her, but now she's completely dead. How can I revive her? I'm the successor of the God of Life, not the God of Life himself!"

Chen Yao was immediately driven to a frenzy upon hearing this.

"Why didn't you come sooner? She's only just died!"

However, Ah Yin explained aloud upon hearing this.

"Given her injuries, she was only clinging to life because she was worried about her daughter. It was a last gasp before death. Even if I had arrived sooner, it wouldn't have helped."

"So what do we do now? Who among you can take care of the child?"

Chen Yao was speechless for a moment. He pulled the little girl away and asked with a look of disgust.

However, at this moment, the three women who had previously been accommodating to Chen Yao all looked at him with amusement and laughed.

"None of us have ever taken care of children before. This is trouble you've brought upon yourself. You'd better deal with it yourself!"

Chapter 139 Ning Fengzhi Comes Searching

"Huh? What is this?"

Just as Chen Yao was at a loss with the crying child in his hands, Tang Yuehua, who was standing to the side, seemed to have discovered something on the woman. She stepped forward, lifted her outer garment, and then saw an exquisite token hanging at her waist.

Chen Yao, who was contemplating whether to simply abandon the child there, looked in the direction of the voice and his gaze was immediately drawn to the token in Tang Yuehua's hand.

"This is... a token from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School? No wonder she said her husband would give me a satisfactory reward; she must be a high-ranking and powerful person within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

Chen Yao grabbed the child, walked forward, and raised an eyebrow slightly as he looked at the person without a token.

A thoughtful look flashed in his eyes, and then he dismissed the idea of ​​abandoning the child.

He still had a section of the root of the Qiluo Tulip in his storage soul tool. Even though the medicinal power was almost gone, it was still irresistible to the people of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

When the time comes, I will take out this root and then use this child to demand an exorbitant amount in return for the favor. Even if the people of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School are unwilling, they will probably have no choice but to grit their teeth and swallow their anger.

Thinking about it, Chen Yao's lips curled up slightly. He looked at the little girl in his hands, and there was no longer any disgust in his eyes. Instead, a sharp glint appeared on his face, and he forced a warm smile and asked.

"Little one, how old are you? Can you talk yet?"

"Mom."

However, Chen Yao's smile, which he thought was friendly, appeared sinister and terrifying to the little girl. Fear gripped her heart, and she sobbed uncontrollably, tears welling in her eyes as if about to burst forth.

"If you cry again, forget about your mom, I'll make sure you never see your dad again!"

As if Chen Yao's intimidation had worked, the little girl's body stiffened instantly, and she forced herself to stop crying, looking at Chen Yao timidly.

"Do not cry?"

Chen Yao raised an eyebrow and asked a question.

The little girl nodded fearfully.

"What's your name?"

"Wowo's name is Ning Rongrong."

Although the little girl spoke in a childish voice and her pronunciation was inaccurate, Chen Yao still recognized the name she was saying. He was slightly taken aback upon hearing it, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face.

He never expected that this little girl was actually the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!

With Ning Rongrong in his hands, he was absolutely confident that he could take a big chunk of flesh from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!

"Very good, Ning Rongrong, I just saved your life. I'm your savior, you know that?"

"Benefactor?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong nodded, whether she understood the meaning or was intimidated by Chen Yao's frightening appearance, and stammered out her reply.

But after saying that, as if she had thought of something, a look of hesitation flashed across Xiao Rongrong's face. Finally, she mustered up her courage, tugged at Chen Yao's clothes, and spoke up.

"My benefactor, my mother is asleep. Could you please wake her up and tell her that Rongrong wants to go home?"

Looking at Ning Rongrong's expectant gaze, Chen Yao couldn't help but feel a slight pang in his heart. He sighed and shook his head.

"I'm sorry, your mother has passed away."
