Douluo Continent: Gourmet Prisoner

The violent shaking and strong airflow engulfed everyone, and they were shot out of the right nasal cavity of the Ligaluru mammoth like pebbles being thrown.

The wind howled in their ears, the scenery rushed past them, and the next second, they plunged heavily into a cool body of water.

"Splash—!"

A huge splash erupted, sending waves several meters high into the air.

The Lake of Life in the core area of ​​the Starry Sky Forest gently embraced the group of disheveled intruders.

The group struggled to the surface, soaking wet, their hair clinging to their faces, looking like a bunch of drowned rats.

Only Rainbow Dash, relying on her ability to fly, flapped her wings and hovered in mid-air, looking down at the people in the water with disdain on her little face.

"Hey, your diving postures aren't cool at all." Rainbow Dash shook her head, her rosy red eyes full of disdain. "They're all crooked and awkward, zero points! Zero points!"

"Forget about how cool the pose is!" Shi Yu wiped the water from her face, her voice urgent. "Where's the Gem Flesh? Don't lose it!"

Upon hearing this, everyone tensed up instantly and looked around at the surface of the water.

Shi Yu's heart tightened. Just as he was about to activate his soul power to sense it, he heard Tang Ya point to the shore not far away: "There! Hanging on that crooked tree!"

Following her gaze, everyone saw the gem-like flesh, encased in a blue-silver net, hanging steadily on the branch of an ancient tree on the shore. Golden light shone through the net, gleaming alluringly in the sunlight, completely undamaged.

"It's good that the Gemstone Flesh is alright, it's good that the Gemstone Flesh is alright." Shi Yu breathed a long sigh of relief, his heart finally at ease.

"You bastard, Shi Yu!" Tang Ya was furious at the sight and slapped Shi Yu's arm, splashing water everywhere. "You only care about the Gemstone Flesh! What about us? Don't you care at all?"

Shi Yu calmly dodged her hand, raised an eyebrow and said, "I'm injured but I'm fine. Have you forgotten my Life Rhythm Domain? It can cure congenital diseases. This little bump is probably not as serious as the injuries you suffered during training before."

He had barely finished speaking when a trembling, urgent voice suddenly interrupted: "Wait, little sister, do you mean you can cure congenital diseases?"

Jiang Nannan swam with all her might to the shore, her wet hair plastered to her face, but her eyes shone with an almost desperate glimmer of hope.

She stared intently at Shi Yu, her heart pounding wildly in her chest—her mother's congenital illness had been a huge burden on her heart for many years, and hearing these words now was like grasping at a lifeline.

Upon hearing this, Shi Yu's lips twitched, and he looked speechless: "First of all, I am a boy, not a little girl; secondly, I can indeed cure congenital diseases."

It's no wonder Jiang Nannan mistook him for someone else. After being transformed by the Life Rhythm Apple, Shi Yu's appearance was excessively refined. His eyebrows and eyes carried a natural affinity. When he was dressed, his figure appeared slender and tall, but if he took off his clothes, you could see his golden ratio muscle lines, which were both powerful and not bulky.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry!" Jiang Nannan apologized hastily, her voice still trembling with urgency. She took two steps forward, her gaze fixed intently on Shi Yu. "Can you really cure congenital diseases? You're not lying to me, are you?"

"It really can." Shi Yu nodded, his tone certain.

"That can help..." Jiang Nannan's words were interrupted by a cold voice.

"Shiyu has the ability, but why should I help you?"

Shi Qiu'er shook off the water droplets on her body, her golden vertical pupils holding a hint of scrutiny, and slowly walked to Shi Yu's side.

Her gaze fell on Jiang Nannan, carrying a hint of detachment: "Besides, you should have noticed that something's wrong with us, right? Talking soul beasts are staying with humans in the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, yet not a single ferocious beast or 100,000-year-old soul beast has attacked us."

These words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Jiang Nannan's head.

Her body stiffened abruptly, and the hope on her face vanished instantly, replaced by deep vigilance and despair.

When she first followed the group into the core area, she had doubts about their identities—how could humans who could be so close to the Emperor Beast be ordinary people? But she was so overwhelmed by the news that Shi Yu could cure congenital diseases that she forgot she was in a den of wolves.

Jiang Nannan subconsciously took a step back, her wary gaze sweeping over everyone present before finally landing on Tang Ya. Her voice trembled slightly as she asked, "Xiao Ya, what... what's going on?"

Seeing this, Tang Ya became playful, a sly smile flashing in her eyes. She deliberately put on a serious face and said, "As you can see, I'm in cahoots with them, Nan Nan. Do you have anything else to say?"

Now, Jiang Nannan was completely desperate.

She closed her eyes, and her mind flashed back to her mother's haggard face, the hardships she had endured over the years to pay for medical expenses, and the temptation of the mysterious group with the Xuanwu Divine Pill.

When she opened her eyes again, her gaze was filled with determination. She straightened her back and said to Tang Ya, "I have nothing more to say, Xiao Ya. Please do it quickly."

She thought that since she knew these people's secrets, she was doomed to die, so she simply stopped struggling.

Seeing her resolute and fearless demeanor, Shi Yu suddenly felt that the scene was quite dramatic and couldn't help but say, "What a pair of star-crossed lovers."

However, no sooner had he uttered those words than Rainbow Dash, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, suddenly bristled and shouted something that caught everyone off guard:

"Go eat manure with your ill-fated lover!"

This sudden remark stunned everyone present.

Shi Yu was completely bewildered and turned to look at Rainbow Dash: "Hey? Rainbow Dash, why did you say something like that?"

Rainbow Dash scratched her head, looking completely bewildered. "I don't know! When I heard what you said, I felt like countless thoughts were rushing into my brain, trying to force that sentence into me, and like countless hands were trying to pry my mouth open so I would say it!"

The conversation between the man and the horse made Tang Ya, who was trying to maintain a serious demeanor, unable to hold back any longer. She burst out laughing, laughing so hard that she almost cried.

"Alright, alright, Nan Nan, I was just kidding!" Tang Ya wiped away her tears of laughter, walked over to Jiang Nan Nan, and patted her shoulder. "We won't do anything to you."

Jiang Nannan: "?"

She stared blankly at Tang Ya, completely bewildered.

Tang Ya then explained the whole story to Jiang Nannan in detail—the origins of Shi Yu's connection with the soul beast clan of the Star Dou Great Forest, the purpose of everyone's exploration for ingredients, and the formation of the team.

After hearing Tang Ya's explanation, Jiang Nannan suddenly realized what was going on. The wariness and despair on her face gradually faded, replaced by disbelief.

"So, Xiaoya, you want me to join you?" Jiang Nannan asked hesitantly.

"Yes!" Tang Ya nodded, smiling brightly. "Nannan, your talent is also quite good, and I know you very well. If you join us, Xiao Shiyu will help cure your mother's illness. How about it, are you willing to join?"

"I'll join." Jiang Nannan nodded in agreement almost without hesitation.

Tang Ya had prepared a whole host of persuasive words, but upon hearing those three words, she froze: "Don't be so quick to refuse... Huh? You agreed?"

"Yes, I agree." Jiang Nannan nodded emphatically, her eyes resolute. "I'm willing to do anything to cure my mother's illness."

"This shouldn't be happening!" Tang Ya muttered in frustration. "According to the storybook, shouldn't you have refused me several times, and then only reluctantly agreed after I begged repeatedly?"

Jiang Nannan looked at her like this, her lips twitched, and she had only one thought in her mind—she wished she didn't know Tang Ya.

"Sister Xiaoya, have you been secretly reading Qiu'er's storybooks?"

"Shi Yu, don't wrong me!" Shi Qiu'er immediately retorted, her face flushed. She was angered by Shi Yu's exposure of her shortcomings. "My storybook was burned by the Crimson King long ago!"

Watching the noisy crowd, the Gem Flesh on the shore still shimmered with golden light, the surface of the Lake of Life sparkled, and the sunlight shone warmly on everyone. After a thrilling adventure, new companions had joined MYGO.
