Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 750 Deep Adventure (6K)

"You... you're still not satisfied with just taking the Soul-Slaying Whip?"

Ning Rongrong's voice changed. This Soul-Slaying Whip was a quasi-divine artifact born from Qiankun Wenqing Valley. Without the Soul-Slaying Whip, half of the entire Qiankun Wenqing Valley would be ruined. Ning Rongrong never expected that Huo Yuhao would still try to extort money from her even at this time.

Ning Rongrong's mind raced. Huo Yuhao clearly had no intention of giving her face. If she couldn't offer him appropriate compensation, things would get really serious.

She had visited Qiankun Wenqing Valley quite a few times, but she never expected that she would mess things up so coincidentally. Not only did she run into a student from Shrek Academy, but the student's eyes seemed to have mind-reading abilities. Even though she hadn't said much, the student had already figured out her identity.

No, this absolutely cannot be known to Third Brother. He's been injured and recovering for some reason, and it would be a real problem if he found out that I've ruined the core area of ​​my faith collection.

Countless thoughts raced through Ning Rongrong's mind, but she kept talking.

"Wang Qiu'er, do you have a lover?"

"No," Wang Qiu'er replied crisply.

"So, who have you ever loved?"

Ning Rongrong's questioning speed increased.

What is love?

Wang Qiu'er suddenly asked Ning Rongrong a question.

Silence, silence is the Valley of Love and Destiny tonight.

Does Ning Rongrong truly understand what love is? Perhaps she does.

However, given Ning Rongrong's language skills, it was difficult to define her in a short time, especially since she also had to think about other things, such as her own mess.

"From now on, it is forbidden to ask questions in return at Qiankun Wenqing Valley!"

Ning Rongrong said, somewhat embarrassed and angry, and subconsciously wanted to use the Soul-Slaying Whip to hit Wang Qiu'er a few times, but then she realized that the Soul-Slaying Whip had been snatched away by that boy who looked very intimidating.

Ning Rongrong suddenly felt powerless. How did this kid manage to snatch her Soul-Slaying Whip just now?

"Love, love is, it is."

Ning Rongrong thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a fluent answer. She stammered out phrases like "love," "sacrifice," and "together forever."

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er exchanged a glance and shook their heads almost imperceptibly. This was the true value of Qiankun Wenqing Valley.

The deity in charge of this place doesn't even understand what love is, yet he dares to openly hold this so-called "heartfelt question" session.

They're nothing but a bunch of scoundrels who make fun of ordinary people who accidentally wander into this place. Their disgusting nature is no different from that of the nobles on Douluo Continent.

However, these high and mighty gods created this so-called Valley of Love and Destiny, while the less powerful nobles spent money to find desperate people to be gladiators, throwing them into the arena to watch them fight against soul beasts.

In reality, he's a complete scoundrel.

"I think I understand what you mean by love. Hmm, maybe I've never been in love."

Wang Qiu'er casually interrupted Ning Rongrong, poking her smooth chin with her index finger and said, "If Wang Dong'er doesn't mind, Huo Yuhao might still be worth a little attention. He's given me good food, and it would be even better if he didn't covet my Golden Dragon Spear."

Ning Rongrong was stunned by Wang Qiu'er's extremely direct answer: "You were lured away by a delicious meal?"

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er heard Wang Qiu'er's answer and couldn't help but smile at each other. Wang Qiu'er's mind was still very simple. Huo Yuhao had only given her a fruit to ask for her help, and she had remembered it for many years.

Of course, Wang Qiu'er hadn't forgotten about Huo Yuhao's concern for the Golden Dragon Spear.

"So, Senior Ning, have you decided on a way to compensate me?"

Huo Yuhao's voice rang out relentlessly, sending a chill down Ning Rongrong's spine.

However, she deliberately finished Wang Qiu'er's questioning session first because she had come up with a way to delay the questioning.

"You three, go into the deep adventure first. If you successfully complete the deep adventure, I will naturally give you appropriate compensation."

Ning Rongrong had left unsaid: a deep adventure is one where people could really die. If all three of them perished inside, she wouldn't have to worry about it anymore.

Just as Huo Yuhao was about to try and get something more out of Ning Rongrong, he and the other two were enveloped in a golden light.

Everything around him became blurry, and the twisting sensation felt like it was tearing his body apart. Finally, when Huo Yuhao managed to struggle free from this agony, he found himself sitting on horseback.

The horse galloped so fast it nearly threw him off balance, but he managed to grab the saddle and steady himself.

This is where?

Huo Yuhao looked ahead and found himself surrounded by people, all wearing white armor that looked somewhat familiar. In the darkness of night, everything around him was dim, and he rode his dragon-scaled warhorse at full gallop.

He subconsciously turned his head to look at his side and immediately saw Wang Dong'er and Wang Qiu'er beside him.

They were simply too conspicuous among the horse caravan. The three of them didn't look like they were out fighting; they looked more like they were on a spring outing.

"Yuhao, Sister Qiu'er, where are we?" Wang Dong'er asked in confusion.

Huo Yuhao smiled wryly, "I don't know either! Is this what they call an in-depth assessment?"

Wang Qiu'er's riding posture was quite standard, and she looked heroic and dashing. She even patted Wang Dong'er's thigh lightly.

"Squeeze your thighs tightly against the horse's belly, otherwise you'll bounce off its back while running at the back."

Just then, that calm voice echoed in the minds of all three of them.

[In-depth assessment begins. Assessment question: Rescue. You are currently accompanying Duke White Tiger on his inspection of the military camp. An enemy attack will occur shortly.]

[You all now appear as the White Tiger Duke's personal guards, and you will not be recognized due to your unique appearance or equipment.]

[The assessment requires you to assist Duke White Tiger during the upcoming enemy attack and ensure his safe escape back to the camp. If Duke White Tiger dies, the assessment will be considered a failure, and the penalty will be death.]

[Conditions for Success in the Deep Assessment: The assessment officially begins fifteen minutes after leaving the camp. Protect Duke Dai Hao, the White Tiger, as he returns to the military camp. If Duke Dai Hao dies, the assessment fails, and you will enter a second deep adventure with a significantly increased chance of death.]

"Dai Hao."

Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes slightly. Although he hated this person as much as the Duchess, he still couldn't give him a pleasant look.

The Duchess was a woman who became arrogant and conceited after gaining power. She used her influence in the deep palace to exclude concubines and suppress servants to show off her skills. But could it be that Dai Hao had no connection with her being able to run rampant in the Duke's mansion?
