Douluo Continent: From Seven Treasure Glazed Tile to Crescent Moon's Solemnity

Chapter 217 My Beloved

"Moon, you've finished absorbing the soul ring!" Shui Bing'er, the older sister, was the first to notice the awakened Shui Yue'er, but when she noticed the strange look Shui Yue'er was giving her and Ning Feiliu, her pretty face instantly turned red.

"Perfect timing, I'm going to grill the rest of the meat..." Ning Feiliu said with a light laugh.

"Ah... this brother... how should I address you..." Shui Yue'er became shy in front of Ning Feiliu and said coyly.

Like Shui Bing'er and the others, Shui Yue'er quickly became close to Ning Feiliu.

After enjoying a delicious skewer of barbecue, Shui Yue'er once again talked to her companions about her absorption of her third soul ring.

Ning Feiliu listened from the side, a smile on his handsome face.

This made Shuiyue'er, who was standing to the side, swoon over him once again.

Looking at Ning Feiliu's handsome yet gentle face, she suddenly asked, "Brother Feiliu, do you have someone you like now?"

She stared intently at Ning Feiliu, as if she had mustered up all her courage to ask the question.

This surprised everyone present, including Ning Feiliu.

Ning Feiliu never expected Shui Yue'er to be so direct.

On the first meeting, he dared to ask the other person directly if they had a crush on someone.

"Moon, stop fooling around!" Shui Bing'er, as the older sister, stood up with her pretty face flushed and scolded.

However, she was also very curious about Ning Feiliu's next answer.

Does Ning Feiliu have someone she likes right now? If so... what kind of girl would she be?

But what if... there isn't one?

Really not?

Apart from Jiang tide, the other girls from Tianshui Academy were all looking forward to Ning Feiliu's answer.

Ning Feiliu paused for a moment, then suddenly smiled softly and said, "It's nothing... Well, I already have someone I like."

"You already have someone you like...?" Shui Bing'er was a little lost in thought, but she quickly smiled and pretended not to care, saying, "Then she must be a very outstanding and beautiful girl."

Shen Liuyu, Qiu Ruoshui, and other girls also seemed somewhat disappointed, but they tried their best to hide their disappointment.

Only Shuiyue'er made no attempt to hide her disappointment after hearing Ning Feiliu say that she had someone she liked.

Then she pressed on, asking, "So, Fei Liu, what kind of person is your sweetheart?"

"What kind of person is she? Probably someone who is very nice and beautiful." Ning Feiliu thought about Dugu Yan's good points and said with a gentle smile.

Dugu Yan is very beautiful, but to say she's the most beautiful woman on the mainland would be an exaggeration.

Even compared to Shui Bing'er in front of her, Dugu Yan could only be considered an evenly matched opponent.

Therefore, Dugu Yan was just an "ordinary" stunningly beautiful girl.

Her personality... she's not exactly a gentle girl, she's always very outgoing and sometimes gets angry.

But he's inherently a good person.

The key point is that she was the first person Ning Feiliu met besides Ning Mingrui after she came into this world, her first friend and first man.

The human heart has only so much space, so the order in which things come into contact is very important.

So... even if Ning Feiliu hasn't officially established a relationship with Dugu Yan yet, and hasn't actually said those cheesy things...

But she is Ning Feiliu's beloved.

Ning Feiliu was also the person she loved.

Ning Feiliu didn't want to hide anything and directly admitted it with a smile.

However, his description of Dugu Yan only made Shui Bing'er and the others even more curious.

"Probably?" Yu Hairou asked with some curiosity.

"She must be very beautiful... She must be very beautiful, beautiful enough that you, Fei Liu, would fall for her." Shen Liuyu said with a smile.

"Yes, she's the most beautiful in my eyes," Ning Feiliu said again with a smile.

"Is she very powerful?" Shui Yue'er asked again, still somewhat unwilling to give up. "To be worthy of Fei Liu, she must be a very powerful Soul Master, right?"

Shui Bing'er frowned again and snapped at her younger sister, Shui Yue'er, "Stop fooling around, Yue'er!"

"Yes." Ning Feili nodded again with a smile, answering directly, "Actually, I already told you about her earlier..."

"You mentioned her?" Shui Bing'er and the others were all taken aback.

Then they quickly recalled their conversation with Ning Feiliu.

The only person of the opposite sex that Ning Feiliu mentioned was...

"That Miss Dugu, who is also from the Heavenly Generation?" Xuewu was the first to speak.

"Hmm... but to be honest, this 'Generation of Heaven' is a bit of an exaggeration." Ning Feiliu said with a wry smile, "It's really too much of a compliment, and the title is really awkward."

What do you mean by "the generation of the gods"? It would be better to just praise him directly.

It feels extremely awkward to praise him with such a title.

However, Shui Bing'er and the others did not think so. Ning Feiliu, a fifteen-year-old Soul King, was simply unprecedented and unparalleled.

Dugu Yan is no less impressive. At the age of fourteen, she is already close to the level of a Soul King. If it weren't for Ning Fei's outstanding talent, she would undoubtedly be the number one young Soul Master of our time.

As for Yu Tianheng... it can only be said that the name Yu Tianheng was spread through misinformation. Ning Feiliu did not say much about Yu Tianheng's situation, only that he came from the Blue Lightning Overlord Sect.

The key is Dugu Yan. As soon as Ning Feiliu said that his sweetheart was Dugu Yan, a genius Soul Master who broke through to the Soul Master realm at the age of fourteen.

Shui Bing'er and the other girls naturally felt ashamed and inferior.

Even the most outstanding among them, Shui Bing'er, is only at level 35 in soul power at the age of fifteen, still far from being a Soul Master.

Then let alone the Soul King realm.

In terms of talent, Shui Bing'er and the original Dugu Yan were actually quite similar.

However, with Ning Feiliu's help, Dugu Yan not only swallowed an eight-petaled immortal orchid, but also used the Moon Essence Breathing Technique to improve her cultivation while circulating the method to condense the poison core.

His cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds, far faster than that of ordinary people.

This made Shui Bing'er and the others realize that the gap between them was not just a little bit, and they didn't even have the thought of catching up. Their romantic feelings also faded a lot.

Shui Bing'er forced herself to cheer up, smiled slightly, and said, "This is no flattery. Fei Liu, your talent and that Miss Dugu's talent are truly unparalleled. I have never heard of anyone else possessing such talent. Aren't you like a genius from the highest heavens?"

"Yes, even if we go back three sessions of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Tournament, I have never seen a young Soul Master who could break through to the Soul King realm before the age of 20." Jiang Xi, the instructor of Tianshui Academy, also sighed at this moment, "Let alone a young Soul Master like Fei Liu who broke through to the Soul King realm at the age of fifteen."

Actually, let alone those who broke through to Soul King before the age of 20, even the three members of the Spirit Hall known as the Golden Generation, Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan, were not included.

Apart from Hu Liena, who broke through to the Soul King realm at the age of 19, the rest of Xie Yue and Yan were all older than Hu Liena, and their ages were definitely over 20.

Therefore, Ning Feiliu and Dugu Yan's talents can only be compared to those of the Shrek Seven Devils, who also consumed immortal herbs.

Even the Shrek Seven Devils, apart from Tang San, are not as good as Ning Feiliu and Dugu Yan.

After all, Xiao Wu and the others didn't receive the same cultivation techniques as Ning Feiliu, who taught Dugu Yan the Moon Essence Breathing Technique, or the Mysterious Heaven Skill, which their beloved third brother taught them.

Even Xiao Wu did not receive any instruction from Tang San.

Perhaps Tang San felt that the Xuan Tian Gong, as the supreme skill of the Tang Clan, should not be easily passed on to outsiders.

Then he casually passed it on to Jixiang, a nominal disciple he had met on the Seagod Island trip.

In any case, Tang San's actions make it hard not to think that he doesn't want his companions to learn the Mysterious Heaven Skill and surpass him.

This would allow him to be surpassed by his companions. After all, Tang San's innate full soul power clearly indicated from the beginning that it was not something he was born with, but rather something he obtained through cultivating the Xuan Tian Gong.

If Tang San had been born with full soul power, he should have felt that he had reached a "bottleneck" when he first started cultivating.

Instead of discovering that they have reached the "bottleneck" of level 10 soul power after cultivating for a long time.

It's likely that Tang San was injured during the battle between Tang Hao and Qian Xunji when he was a child, and his congenital deficiencies prevented him from being a genius.

Then he used the Mysterious Heaven Technique to cultivate himself into a genius.

Therefore, he certainly wouldn't pass on the Xuan Tian Gong to anyone else.

Although this is selfish, there's nothing wrong with it.

Ning Feiliu's actions were actually too generous, which is just his personality.

He is incredibly generous to those close to him, which makes him the opposite of Tang San.

He despises people like Tang San the most.

Ning Feiliu said nothing more in response to Jiang tide's praise.

Sometimes, there's really no need to be overly modest when it comes to what you say.

"Alright, we've rested enough. Let's check the time... we should be able to travel a little further." Jiang Xi stood up and said, "If we can't leave the Star Dou Great Forest tonight, then we'll have to set up camp here for the night."

"Fei Liu, do you mind?" She looked at Ning Fei Liu again, smiled slightly, and said.

Jiang tide didn't think Ning Feiliu was living in the middle of nowhere with these girls.

As I said before, Ning Feiliu's temperament and looks are destined to make girls feel very at ease with him.

Even if we take a step back and say that he suddenly became savage, he might have been driven by animalistic instincts.

But Jiang tide felt that Shui Bing'er and the others would be happy to agree.

"Then I'll keep watch for everyone," Ning Feiliu said with a light laugh.

"How could we possibly accept this..." the girls said shyly, chattering away.

But soon enough, they set off together.

Sure enough, because they were waiting for Shui Yue'er to absorb the soul ring, and because they had chatted with Ning Feiliu and rested for a while, it soon got dark after they had traveled for some time.

Traveling through the jungle at night is a very dangerous thing. Not only might you encounter groups of spirit beasts in the wild, but you might also lose your way.

In addition, in the Douluo Continent era, major cities generally impose curfews at night.

In other words, most businesses in the city ceased operations, with only a small portion of the red-light district remaining open.

Entry and exit from outside the city are prohibited.

Of course, if you have a city lord's token or are a well-known figure in the area, you can definitely pass through without any obstacles.

Although Shui Bing'er and the others are students of the famous Tianshui Academy in Tianshui City, it is clear that their status is not enough to give them such a great reputation.

So they would be turned away when they went back at night.

Then it's better to stay put and rest for the night.

Before it got completely dark, Ning Feiliu helped them set up camp, and then they each returned to their own tents and began to "rest" instead of sleeping by cultivating their soul power.

Ning Feiliu stood guard for them, sitting in front of the crackling campfire, without cultivating.

Looking at the thin moonlight in the sky, he decided not to cultivate tonight.

It's always better to stay focused.

He also happened to be practicing some other things.

"Hiss—" Just then, a long, emerald-green animal appeared from under Ning Feiliu's sleeve.

It is indeed a nine-section jadeite miniature.

Ning Feiliu usually keeps it wrapped around his right hand for emergencies.

Xiao Jiu herself has strong defense and is not afraid of being killed by the aftershocks of attacks aimed at Ning Feiliu in battle.

"Xiao Jiu, here's some late-night snack for you," Ning Feiliu said with a slight smile.

During the day, he didn't let Xiao Jiu reveal himself for fear of scaring Shui Bing'er and the others.

Now it's okay for Xiao Jiu to eat some food.

He took out a bloody chunk of raw meat and fed it to Xiao Jiu along with some herbs.

Xiao Jiu is very perceptive and ate with great relish.

However, as a mythical beast, the triggered quest related to the Vastaya Shari is: "[Obtain the essence blood of ten different mythical beasts to discover the secret of Vastaya Shari evolution.]"

But it's not finished yet.

Ning Feiliu never expected that even with the combined abilities of Poison Douluo Dugu Bo and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, they still hadn't collected the essence blood of ten different exotic beasts.

It's simply because exotic beasts are really too difficult to find.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has an illustrated guide to the existence of strange beasts, but according to the records, most of these beasts have become extinct.

After all, there doesn't seem to be any concept of protecting rare animals in this world. Only the Spirit Hall has slightly controlled the hunting behavior of spirit masters who can enter the Spirit Hunting Forest in order to prevent the large-scale hunting of spirit beasts.

However, the Spirit Hall only slightly protects the spirit beasts, since spirit beasts are the key to a spirit master's spirit rings and advancement. If spirit beasts become extinct, a spirit master will not be able to advance to a higher realm.

But the mythical beasts are not.

Therefore, no one paid any attention to protecting the strange beasts.

Moreover, mythical beasts are rare to begin with. In the original work, the only mythical beasts that appeared were the Nine-Section Jade, the Dark Gold Bat, the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent, and the Blood Red Bat, represented by the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King that parasitized Tang Chen.

They are extremely rare.

They were all concentrated in the Killing City.

It is clear that only the unique, isolated environment of the Killing City could protect those strange beasts.

Therefore, Ning Feiliu has only collected the essence blood of eight kinds of exotic beasts at present, and there are still two more...

He probably really has to go through the City of Slaughter to enter the Path to Hell, and face the Dark Gold Bats and the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpents, before he can collect the last two kinds of beast blood essence...

And just then...

"Fei Liu." A gentle voice came from behind him.
