The Tree Realm Descends on Douluo Continent

Chapter 292 The Liar and the Delay

Zhu Zhuqing's good figure is widely acknowledged; there are few women on the mainland who can rival her.

Although Li Xun often gets caught using oil, this was the first time he had experienced it so vividly.

The evening sunlight, like gold, streamed through the window, illuminating the room as if it were coated with a layer of golden chrysanthemums.

Even the messy bed looked elegant, especially with the touch of blood red, which made it appear dignified and solemn.

With a soft, suppressed sob, the room seemed to fall into a brief silence.

"You should be better by now."

A timid voice rang out, seemingly pleading, but it quickly became too slow to speak, leaving only broken, incoherent babbling, as if it were enduring some kind of torture.

"Slow down."

Time passed second by second, until the last ray of sunset burned out, marking the beginning of night.

However, the constitution of a Soul Master is different from that of night and day. Some people only have a brief dawn, while others seem to have inexhaustible vitality.

"Rongrong and Sister Yan should be having dinner now."

As another surge of life energy flowed into her body, Zhu Zhuqing hurriedly left a message, covered herself with the bed sheet, and ran into the bathroom as if fleeing.

"are you hungry?"

Li Xun glanced at the time and, feeling it was still early, got up and followed.

"!! Haven't you had enough of this yet?"

"I'll just rinse it off and leave."

"Yeah, you're a liar."

The large living room was somewhat quiet.

Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan sat facing each other, looking at the food on the table, but neither of them touched their chopsticks.

The soundproofing of this mansion is very poor, as if it was never intended for outsiders to live there when it was built.

Therefore, some sounds can be faintly heard even when sitting downstairs.

Ning Rongrong woke up in the afternoon, and when she heard the noise next door, she immediately knew what had happened.

Although she felt uncomfortable, the die was cast, and there was nothing she could change even if she barged in. Besides, given someone's shameless nature, she might end up getting herself involved.

Ning Rongrong pouted, and could only curse the shameless person in her heart.

"Four hours. They still can't catch up with me."

As the sounds gradually subsided, Ning Rongrong calculated the time and felt a strange sense of relief.

The thought startled even herself, and her face flushed instantly. She quickly banished the idea from her mind.

He frantically picked up his chopsticks to eat, but failed to grip them properly several times.

Dugu Yan glanced at Ning Rongrong and pursed her lips: "Rongrong, does it hurt a lot? Why are you making those noises?"

She knows some basic physiological knowledge, but that's about it.

But now, the consecutive painful groans of the two men were making her feel a little scared.

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong's hand trembled, and her chopsticks instantly fell to the table. Her face flushed crimson, and she looked at Dugu Yan with disbelief: "Huh?"

She hurriedly picked up her chopsticks, didn't answer, and quickly started eating with her head down.

Seeing Ning Rongrong's reaction, Dugu Yan had some guesses. Just as she was about to ask, she saw Li Xun and Zhu Zhuqing slowly walking downstairs.

He swallowed his words in an instant.

"Everyone's here?" Li Xun greeted them with a smile and then sat down.

Perhaps due to the awkwardness, apart from Li Xun occasionally saying a few words, the three women each had their own mixed emotions and just kept their heads down eating.

Li Xun was already prepared for this situation and did not intervene forcefully.

After all, there's still a long time ahead. As the saying goes, time reveals true character, and people will naturally come together again over time.

As for Dugu Yan, Li Xun had already made up his mind.

But seeing her timid appearance now, Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong haven't dealt with it yet, so they'll let it go for a while.

The outermost part of Poseidon Island is a silver sand beach. If there were no missions or restrictions, Li Xun thought it would be a good place for a vacation.

In fact, the four of them had been on Poseidon Island for quite some time, especially the third trial, which lasted for a year and practically trapped them there.

Li Xun looked at the calm sea and instantly unleashed his Killing God Domain. A chilling killing intent that regarded all things as ants enveloped the surrounding coastline in an instant, causing nearby sea spirit beasts to flee for their lives.

Before long, patches of white fins appeared on the surface of the sea, and Little White led dozens of Demon Soul Great White Sharks toward the shore.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Bai saw Li Xun visibly relax and transform into human form to come to the shore.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

"You probably know about our assessment, right? Lead the way."

Li Xun glanced at Xiao Bai, and having just tasted the forbidden fruit, he subconsciously compared her to Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong.

In the end, I still felt that Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were better.

Xiao Bai's expression turned serious, and a sense of unease crept into his heart.

"Are you really prepared? The Demon Orca King is not so easy to deal with. Apart from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, which can deter them to some extent, they have basically no rivals in the ocean. Even our Demon Soul Great White Shark clan can only struggle to hold on."

Xiao Bai immediately explained the information about the demonic killer whales: "This group is extremely bloodthirsty, although I also want to eliminate these creatures that pollute the ocean as soon as possible."

But I urge you to gather your strength for another year, lest my people sacrifice themselves in vain.

Li Xun laughed upon hearing this. What pollution of the ocean, what evil spirit beasts—these were merely excuses to attack their opponents.

Isn't survival instinct the instinct of soul beasts? How come, like Tang San, you say these things occupy the moral high ground?

Li Xun didn't care about such formalities; enemies were enemies, and interests were interests: "Don't worry, what you saw last time wasn't even my full strength."

"I hope you're telling the truth."

"If I die, could you please take care of my people?" Xiaobai sighed.

The task given by the Sea God was not something she could resist, and Li Xun and Ning Rongrong had the Sea God's divine test, so even if they failed, they had a high chance of survival.

"How do we get there?" Li Xun asked Xiao Bai intently.

Xiao Bai had seen countless Sea Soul Masters give him that look, so how could he not know what Li Xun was thinking: "I am the Sea God's mount!"

"The future sea god is also the sea god." Li Xun hugged Ning Rongrong and looked at Xiaobai with a smile.

Xiao Bai stared wide-eyed at the two of them, but quickly gave in when she saw the marks between their brows: "Fine, as long as we can completely destroy those who pollute the ocean, you can do whatever you want."

With the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, the group doesn't need to worry about breathing underwater, and it also provides invisibility.

Little White's race and the Demon Orca are sworn enemies, so it can easily find their gathering places. This place is already 500 meters above the sea surface, and the enormous water pressure is causing the Vast Ocean Universe Shield to tremble.

"Xiao Bai, just keep your balance in a moment." After instructing Xiao Bai, Li Xun summoned his martial soul, and eight soul rings appeared one after another, one yellow, two purple, two black, and three red, to Xiao Bai's puzzled look.

Li Xun's fifth spirit ring lit up, and one after another, azure spears emerged from the seabed, forming a forest of spears in the blink of an eye. The spears grew larger and larger, gleaming under the reflection of the seawater.

Li Xun rarely uses this fifth soul skill, but the current situation is perfect for it to come in handy.
