Douluo Continent: We agreed on a simulation, but they've come to life?

I had initially thought he was a kind and gentle old man with white hair, but now...

A handsome, somewhat otherworldly face appeared in her field of vision. Ning Tianzhen swore she wasn't a lovesick fool. She had always despised lovesick fools. Those women who were shallow all day long and judged right and wrong based on appearance shouldn't be in the same species as her.

She has always loved power and trade, and longed to be like a man.

But at this moment... she seemed to have fallen for him.

That face is just too authoritative.

"Are you alright, young lady?" Lu Cheng raised an eyebrow.

"No, it's nothing..." Ning Tian finally realized what was happening, shyly wriggling away from Lu Cheng's embrace and pursing her lips.

Her father had almost arranged a marriage with Lu Cheng of Shrek Academy; all that was missing was the marriage contract. Since that was the case, she was now Lu Cheng's woman…

"Puff~"

"Ouch!!!"

Just as the atmosphere became ambiguous, a fiery red figure suddenly fell from the sky beside him. With a thud, Wu Feng crashed into the lush net woven from tree branches, causing birds to scatter and leaves to fall in a flurry.

When she looked at the two people on the tree branch with a resentful expression, she felt even more uncomfortable.

Lu Cheng is one thing, but now another very strong competitor has emerged.

This guy even kicked his own butt, sending himself flying.

She rubbed her bottom; it still ached slightly…

"I have something to attend to, young master!"

"Shut up, I'm already being kind by saving you." Ning Tian glared at him with her beautiful eyes, afraid of offending this mysterious young man.

"Your name is... Wu Feng?" Lu Cheng looked down at the girl in red with great interest. She had fair skin and a pretty face, but unfortunately, she was overshadowed by Ning Tian, ​​a top-tier beauty.

“Indeed, I remain true to my name and surname, Wu Feng!” the girl in red said proudly.

"Just as rumored." A smile appeared on Lu Cheng's face.

"What?" Wu Feng was overjoyed and excited. Even such a powerful person had heard of her name?

"Silly...憨憨的，看对让好让打得好让打得好" Lu Cheng laughed.

Wu Feng: "..."

Ning Tian's gaze suddenly froze, her red lips parted slightly, and she turned to look at Lu Cheng's handsome face...

Chapter 77 marks the start of the main storyline, with Tang Ya left alone.

"The little thing is quite interesting."

Lu Cheng pressed down on Wu Feng's head with one hand and held the roasted meat in the other, taking a leisurely bite. The latter bared its teeth and claws; it was clearly a majestic fire dragon, but at this moment it was like a little dog, its eyes almost spitting fire as it stared intently at Lu Cheng.

Beside the camp, many servants were collecting the corpses of their companions and the corpse of the dead Earth-Drilling Spirit Armor. The latter's flesh could nourish spiritual energy, enhance soul power, and also nourish the physical body, so it naturally could not be wasted.

As for the Earth-Drilling Armor King, he led his remaining clansmen and fled in a desperate attempt to escape.

However, it also lost a broken tail and a blind eye.

"Thank you for your help, young friend..." Elder Ling stood to the side, his eyes filled with sincerity.

"The Nine Treasures Glazed Tile School?" Lu Cheng asked with great interest.

"Exactly!" Elder Ling smiled.

"Then it seems I made the right choice in helping you." Lu Cheng smiled.

He has already captured the fifth soul ring, which is an 80,000-year-old peak Netherworld King Serpent, and it is also attached with a layer of Netherworld Fire characteristics. Its soul skill is "Netherworld Arrow". The arrow carries Netherworld Fire. Once burned, it will touch the soul and burn the soul. The injury is extremely difficult to heal.

His own Sunfire is already the ancestor of all fires, a truly top-tier flame. This is his trump card and a symbol of his strength. However, having more auxiliary flames is also good, such as the Light Flame attached to the Golden Earth Dragon King Soul Bone, or the Netherworld Flame attached to this Soul Ring.

These flames will not interfere with the Sunfire, nor will they merge with it, since if they did merge, they would only be devoured by the latter.

As for not absorbing a 100,000-year soul ring, it's because although the fourth soul ring is 100,000 years old, it was Jiao Jiao's own sacrifice, and she compressed most of her cultivation. Even so, she was on the verge of death. If she were to absorb a hunted soul beast, the soul shock would be unbearable. The soul shock of a 100,000-year soul beast could shatter her current small body.

"..."

Beside the campfire.

After a night of running, they finally arrived at a safe area and took a break. Some of them were assigned to guard the area while others rested, taking turns on duty.

Wu Feng, chin in hand, stood sullenly to the side.

Ling Nan, on the other hand, looked at Lu Cheng with a smile.

At only fourteen or fifteen years old, he already possesses such formidable strength; he's practically a super promising talent. However, recalling the information from Young Master Ning Cong's reply from Shrek Academy, this person…

It's probably Lu Cheng.

Fire attribute, spirit bow, insanely handsome appearance (Ning Cong's words in the letter), it all matches up...

The other party even came specifically to rescue the person.

Gee tut.

But at this moment, his young master's face was flushed with embarrassment, his fair ears were completely red, and he shrank back like an ostrich. He couldn't help but speak up.

"May I ask your surname, young friend?"

"No need for formalities, my surname is Lu and my given name is Cheng," Lu Cheng said with a smile.

There's nothing to hide.

When school starts, everything will be in place.

"..."

Ning Tian's body stiffened, and his earlobes turned red involuntarily. The one who saved him was the guy he had been thinking about day and night but had never seen.

At this moment, all her longings for her beloved were projected onto Lu Cheng.

"Oh, Miss, why is your face red?" Wu Feng asked with a silly grin.

Ning Tian: (dish)

……

The Duke's residence.

As dusk fell, the magnificent brick and tile structure was gradually bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun. From a secluded side door, a slender young man carrying a backpack stepped out. He let out a long sigh of relief, as if stepping out of this door meant the beginning of his new life.

The boy turned back and glanced at the mansion again.

He knelt down and kowtowed three times.

His eyes were filled with determination: "Mother, from now on I will change my surname to Huo, Huo Yuhao. Don't worry, I will definitely avenge this!"

He glanced longingly at the mansion, then resolutely headed towards the Starry Sky Forest ahead.

……

The outer perimeter of the Starry Sky Forest.

Three figures moved about beneath the lush ancient trees.

It was the height of summer, and the weather was scorching hot. Being in a large forest, Ning Tian soon became drenched in sweat, his face flushed. His delicate little leather shoes were damp with sweat, and his socks were also sweaty, making a pattering sound, which made him quite uncomfortable.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and followed in Lu Cheng's footsteps.

As a powerful offensive Soul Master, Wu Feng naturally had much better physical abilities. She tried to help Ning Tian several times, but was refused each time. She knew it was because of the incredibly handsome guy in front of her, but she was so overwhelmed that she could only grunt and groan on the side.

They originally planned to go directly to Shrek Academy for freshman registration.

Ning Tian waved, signaling the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School to go back first. They would return to the academy with Senior Lu Cheng. Elder Ling naturally agreed with a smile, thinking it was a perfect time to cultivate their relationship.

"Tired?" Lu Cheng stopped and glanced at Ning Tian with a smile.

She didn't have the spoiled air of a young lady.

"I'm not tired," Ning Tian said softly.

"Where are you taking us, you idiot? This isn't the direction of Shrek Academy, is it?" Wu Feng grumbled.

"Stay put and behave, or I'll feed you to the soul beasts." Lu Cheng glanced at him indifferently.

"..."

The latter immediately shrank back and hid behind Ning Tian.

I also touched my still slightly sore buttocks.

Although she often grumbled, Wu Feng didn't dare to breathe on the other person if they were serious; she knew how to read between the lines.

"Come on, I'll carry you." Lu Cheng hesitated for a moment, then beckoned to Ning Tian.

"Hmm? Hmm..." Ning Tian bit her red lips lightly, her arms wrapped around Lu Cheng's neck, feeling the strong masculine scent beneath her, her memory drifting back to the scene where Lu Cheng had saved her earlier...

Safe and reliable.

At this moment, Lu Cheng activated his Blood Eyes.

Searching for Tang Ya and Bei Bei in the vicinity, they were the first to encounter Huo Yuhao in the original novel, and to him, they were no less useful than the "treasure-hunting rats".

"what……"

Just as Lu Cheng was searching, his eyes suddenly froze for a moment.

The treasure-hunting mouse has been found, but why is there only one?

He looked at Tang Ya alone in his perception with some surprise, his eyes flickering.

"Where's Beibei? Where did Beibei go?"

This is for Tang Ya to capture her third spirit ring. With Tang Ya's mediocre skills, even encountering a 500-year-old Mandragora Snake would be a life-or-death situation. In the original story, it was only thanks to Bei Bei's Soul Master strength that she was able to hunt down a 1000-year-old Mandragora Snake, but now...

Lu Cheng shook his head.

Never mind, he doesn't care whether Beibei is there or not. Perhaps it's his presence that makes the butterfly flap its wings, but a treasure-hunting mouse should be able to find it too.

Just keep up.

P.S.: It will be available for purchase by Friday at the latest, or Thursday. I will update it in bulk then, with at least 8,000 words a day.
