Douluo: The Dragon King - I Planted the Divine Tree in Douluo.

Chapter 359 Brigitte's Mother (Two Chapters Combined)

Brigitte's sudden appearance caused Yali to frown slightly.

She never expected to see this woman, whose temperament was so similar to hers, again in the Spirit Pagoda.

If it weren't for the deep doubt also on Leng Yaozhu's face, she would have even suspected that the woman in front of her, whose temperament was so similar to hers, was a stand-in that Leng Yaozhu had specially found to imitate her appearance.

"Xiao Leng, is she from your Spirit Pagoda?"

Yali turned to look at Leng Yaozhu.

"That's Ran Qing, and the one next to her is Zi Yun. They're both members of the Gu Yue clan!"

"For some reason, the two of them are temporarily staying at the Spirit Pagoda."

Leng Yaozhu subtly introduced Biji and Ziji to Yali.

Of course, Leng Yaozhu didn't tell Ya Li that Bi Ji and Zi Ji were staying at the Spirit Pagoda to help research the ten-thousand-year-old soul spirit.

After listening to Leng Yaozhu's introduction, Yali narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Biji with vigilance and scrutiny.

Her womanly intuition told her that Ranqing would be her number one rival.

As Yali sized up Brigitte, Brigitte was also sizing up Yali.

She and Ziji were just passing by when they heard such shocking news.

Although she didn't know how Ya Li had convinced Su Mo, the thought that Su Mo might call Ya Li "Mom" in the future made Brigitte feel terrible.

She was the one who came first, and she was the one who raised Su Mo.

But even she had never heard Su Mo call her "Mom," so why should Ya Li, the newcomer, have the right to?

The moment their eyes met in mid-air, the surrounding air seemed to drop several degrees.

The two of them stared at each other, neither willing to look away first.

There's no way to look away at this moment; doing so would be tantamount to admitting your guilt, and you'd never be able to hold your head up again when you see the other person.

After a fierce yet silent exchange of glances, Brigitte and Ari walked forward in perfect unison and stopped less than half an inch apart.

Leng Yaozhu watched the two suddenly become tense, though she didn't know why they were arguing.

But seeing that Yali had not gained any real advantage, he immediately started cheering for Brigitte in his heart.

If it weren't for the fear that Ya Li would hold her accountable later, Leng Yaozhu would have loved to cheer for Brigitte right there and then.

At the same time, Leng Yaozhu also made up her mind to spend more time with Biji in the future.

Despite having been in the Spirit Pagoda for many years and being a member of the Guyue clan, Leng Yaozhu and Bi Ji are not actually very close.

There's no way around it, Brigitte's temperament is just too similar to that of Yali, that wicked woman who makes everyone grit their teeth in hatred.

Every time she talked to Brigitte, she always felt like she was talking to Ariel, and she was always unconsciously at a disadvantage in terms of presence.

Compared to Bi Ji, Leng Yaozhu preferred to deal with Zi Ji, who arrived at the Spirit Pagoda later.

Every time Leng Yaozhu saw Zi Ji being bossed around by Bi Ji, she couldn't help but think of herself.

Her situation was similar to that of Zi Ji whenever she was alone with Ya Li in private; she was always the one who got scolded.

In addition, Murasaki's stunning figure always reminded her of her younger sister.

"What are you doing?"

Just as Su Mo was wondering how to stop Bi Ji and Ya Li, Gu Yue suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Upon hearing Gu Yue's voice, Bi Ji reluctantly shifted her gaze.

After giving Su Mo a resentful look, she turned around and left with Zi Ji.

Before Su Mo could even feel relieved that he had escaped another disaster, as he watched Bi Ji and Zi Ji's departing figures, Gu Yue's voice rang out once again.

"Su Mo, come here for a second!"

Upon hearing Gu Yue call him over, Su Mo's smile vanished instantly.

"What's there to be afraid of? The sooner we die, the sooner we're free!"

After some self-hypnosis, Su Mo reluctantly followed.

Instead of being happy that Brigitte had looked away first, Yali felt rather bored.

Su Mo once taught her that the best strategy is to subdue the enemy without fighting, and to win their hearts and minds is the ultimate goal.

So this kind of victory is not what she wants; what she wants is for Brigitte to genuinely admit defeat.

However, as she watched Brigitte's departing figure, Yali's lips curled up slightly.

Having finally encountered such an interesting opponent, she was not about to let him go so easily.

Thinking of this, Ya Li turned to Leng Yao Zhu: "Xiao Leng, arrange a room for me. I'm going to stay at the Spirit Pagoda for a while."

Upon hearing that Ya Li was going to stay at the Spirit Pagoda, Leng Yaozhu immediately became alert. "What are you planning to do?"

Yali was extremely unhappy about her decision to stay at the Spirit Pagoda.

Putting aside the fact that seeing Ya Li every day would completely ruin her good mood, there's also the fact that if Ya Li really stayed at the Spirit Pagoda, how would she continue her pilgrimage with Brigitte?

Ya Li sensed the resistance in Leng Yaozhu's tone and immediately moved closer to her.

After scrutinizing Leng Yaozhu from head to toe, he said with a suspicious look, "Little Leng, you wouldn't be thinking of betraying me and going to join that Ran Qing, would you?"

With her true intentions exposed, Leng Yaozhu's face showed a barely perceptible hint of panic. "What nonsense are you talking about!"

However, the subtle changes on Leng Yaozhu's face could not escape Ya Li's sharp eyes.

She originally just wanted to scare Leng Yaozhu, but she didn't expect that Leng Yaozhu would actually be rebellious.

"You damn simp, you actually have a rebellious streak!"

After mentally criticizing Leng Yaozhu, Ya Li put her hand on Leng Yaozhu's shoulder, her face trembling with tears, and said, "Little Leng, we're not number one, okay?"

How could you abandon me and go find someone else?

"Get lost! Who's best friends with a wicked woman like you!"

Leng Yaozhu was internally ranting about Ya Li, but due to Ya Li's tyranny, she only dared to mutter her complaints in her mind.

"You already said we're both number one, why would I go looking for someone else?"

Despite her conscience, Leng Yaozhu forced a smile at Ya Li.

"cut!"

Looking at Leng Yaozhu's fake smile, Yali curled her lips in disgust.

However, Ya Li stopped teasing Leng Yaozhu and chose to stop while she was ahead.

"Shrek can't go back, where are you going next?"

Seeing Ya Li's serious expression, Leng Yaozhu sighed and then couldn't help but show concern for Ya Li.

Don't be fooled by how she seems to hate Ya-li so much that she wants to hang her up and whip her.

But she has to admit that Yali is one of the few friends she has in this world.

If it weren't for Ya Li, that infuriating person, she wouldn't know how she would have survived in Leng Yu Lai's absence.

But now that Yali and Shrek have fallen out, she will most likely leave Shrek City in the future.

As the deputy tower master of the Spirit Pagoda, she naturally cannot leave the Spirit Pagoda at will.

So after this parting, it's very likely that the two of them will never see each other again.

Thinking of this, Leng Yaozhu suddenly felt an emptiness in her heart, as if something was missing.

Ya Li noticed the melancholy on Leng Yaozhu's face and said with a mischievous grin, "What's wrong? You can't bear to part with me?"

"Get out!"

Looking at Ya Li's smug expression, Leng Yaozhu's carefully cultivated emotions vanished without a trace.

And then he began to regret his earlier thought.

She shouldn't have cared about that wicked woman, Yali.

That wicked woman, she'd better get as far away from you as possible.

"Okay, okay, I'm just kidding!"

Seeing Leng Yaozhu's exasperated expression, Ya Li patted Leng Yaozhu's shoulder and said meaningfully, "Maybe we'll see each other every day from now on!"

Still furious, Leng Yaozhu didn't think much of it and said with a look of disgust, "I'd rather die than have to see you every day!"

"I hope you'll still be so stubborn then!"

Ya Li glanced at Leng Yaozhu and said indifferently.

She knows Leng Yaozhu all too well.

Once she finds out where her younger sister Leng Yulai is, she'll immediately come running over to her.

With a loud bang, the heavy metal door slammed shut.

"Little Momo, don't you think you owe me an explanation?"

Before Gu Yue could speak, Bi Ji's emotionless and chilling voice rang out.

Su Mo looked at Bi Ji's gloomy face and knew that Bi Ji was really angry this time.

Faced with the furious Bi Ji, even Gu Yue didn't dare to utter a sound.

"What's wrong with Brigitte?"

Gu Yue looked at Zi Ji with curiosity.

In her memory, Brigitte, like her master, was always the epitome of gentleness and elegance.

Zi Ji immediately leaned down and whispered the whole story in Gu Yue's ear.

"Serves you right!"

After listening to Zi Ji's story, Gu Yue looked at Su Mo with a hint of schadenfreude.

She was very disappointed that Su Mo had completely defused her previous trial of Su Mo and failed to teach Su Mo a lesson.

But this time, she wanted to see how Su Mo would run away.

"Sister Brigitte, that's all nonsense from Yali!"

"She's my sister, how could I call her 'Mom'!"

"???"

As soon as Su Mo said this, it immediately attracted the attention of Gu Yue and Zi Ji.

They had considered that Su Mo would be able to appease Bi Ji, after all, Su Mo was very good at coaxing girls.

But I never expected Su Mo to resolve it in this way.

Ya Li is Su Mo's younger sister—what an obscure and perverse statement!

However, Brigitte was completely oblivious to this; all she could think about was, "Great! Little Momo's first time is still intact!"

"Little Momo, I knew you wouldn't call someone else's mom."

Brigitte stroked Su Mo's head with a look of doting affection, her eyes filled with tenderness.

"So, Xiao Momo————"

As she spoke, Biji looked at Su Mo with hopeful eyes.

Facing Brigitte's hopeful gaze, Su Mo closed his eyes and said reluctantly, "Mother Brigitte!"

Upon hearing "Mama Brigitte," Brigitte was overjoyed and embraced Su Mo tightly.

Gu Yue and Zi Ji exchanged a glance, both speechless.

Brigitte gave this away for free!

While Brigitte's bust size wasn't as exaggerated as Murasaki's, it was still quite impressive.

Soon, Su Mo's face turned bright red from holding it in.

Gasping for breath, Su Mo quickly patted Bi Ji's shoulder. "Okay, Sister Bi Ji, let go of me, I can't breathe!"

"oh oh!"

Biji then quickly released Su Mo.

Looking at Su Mo, whose face was flushed, Bi Ji's face showed a hint of apology.

Just as Biji was about to apologize to Su Mo, before she could even open her mouth, Gu Yue pushed her aside.

"Su Mo, you said Ya Li is your sister, what exactly is going on?"

Brigitte looked on with curiosity upon hearing this.

Faced with the three people's curious gazes, Su Mo honestly explained how he had planned the whole thing.

"This works?"

After hearing Su Mo's story, Gu Yue and the others looked at Su Mo as if he were a monster.

In the past, it was the soul beasts that were assimilated by human society and became beast traitors.

Even this group of people almost lost themselves after witnessing the prosperity of the human world.

If their belief in reviving the soul beast race had not been firm enough, they might have followed in the footsteps of the auspicious beasts and others.

But when it came to Su Mo, the situation was reversed.

Su Mo not only failed to be assimilated, but instead assimilated humanity, turning into a traitor!

The surprised looks from Gu Yue and the others left Su Mo speechless. He said with a look of disdain, "What kind of looks are those?"

Reminded by Su Mo, Gu Yue realized her lapse in composure and coughed awkwardly twice.

"It's nothing!"

"I'm just curious, how did you do that?"

Su Mo looked at Gu Yue as if she were an idiot, and said irritably, "Have you forgotten that I'm from another time?"

Gu Yue thought Su Mo was showing off his transmigrator identity, and immediately muttered something under her breath.

"I actually came from the realm of gods!"

Although she was revered as the ruler of all soul beasts by Di Tian and others, strictly speaking, she cannot be considered a native creature of the Douluo Continent.

She was born in the realm of gods and then fled to the Douluo Continent.

Su Mo was completely numb, and then explained with utter exhaustion, "What I want to say is that before I came to Douluo Continent, I already had my own outlook on life, values, and worldview."

"Soul beasts are prone to becoming beast rapists when they go to the human world, mainly because they lack a well-developed moral compass."

"After they take human form, they are completely ignorant about everything in this world, and this is when they are most easily influenced by the outside world."

"Furthermore, living in groups is an instinct for intelligent beings, so it is very easy for someone to betray others when alone in human society."

"Do you understand what I mean now?"

"Um!"

Gu Yue nodded. "Are you trying to say that we soul beasts are all illiterate and have never been to school?"

"You overestimate yourself!"

Su Mo rolled her eyes at Gu Yue speechlessly. "What I want to say is that to prevent soul beasts from rebelling, we need to establish a sense of belonging and our own civilization."

Brigitte hesitated before asking, "But can we really build our own civilization?"

The law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, is an underlying logic ingrained in the very bones of every member of the Soul Clan.

Changing this logic is easier said than done.

Why build a new civilization from scratch?

"Isn't human civilization already right before our eyes?"

"Wouldn't it be enough to simply modify the rules and regulations to reflect those of civilized human society?"
