People in Doupo: Unparalleled Talents Actually Bring a System

Beside her, Zi Yan was about to speak, but at that moment, she suddenly noticed that the body of the huge creature below was trembling slightly.

Then, the creature slowly opened its eyes. They were a pair of light red eyes with overlapping pupils. This pair of eyes alone was hundreds of times larger than Xiao Ling and Zi Yan's bodies.

In an instant, a terrifying pressure enveloped the two of them. Xiao Ling's face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly took a step forward. The power in his body surged, and he exerted all his strength. It took him a lot of effort to slightly alleviate the uncomfortable feeling of being stuck in a quagmire.

"Can tomb raiders...hold ancient jade?" The deep and majestic voice seemed to come from the depths of endless darkness, revealing an unquestionable sense of oppression.

Xiao Ling subconsciously tightened his grip on Zi Yan's hand, and looked warily at the pair of huge eyes hidden in the darkness. At this moment, the eyes were glowing with coldness and indifference, staring at them intently, without any emotion in them, like a pool of bottomless, cold, dead water, which made people feel cold at a glance.

"No!" Xiao Ling took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to respond loudly.

After hearing this answer, the huge pupils that were originally indifferent and seemed to have no focus gradually began to gather their spirit, as if a beast that had been sleeping for a long time had finally awakened from its slumber.

In an instant, an even stronger aura of danger spread out, and Xiao Ling could clearly feel that the air around him seemed to become sticky. The pressure from the opponent was like towering mountains, pressing heavily on them, making them almost unable to breathe.

An extremely fierce aura suddenly burst out from the pair of eyes that were hundreds of times larger than Xiao Ling's. The aura was like a materialized storm, carrying the momentum to destroy the world, and raged wildly in the surroundings.

The endlessly winding and unbridled dragon body also slowly began to move. Every movement seemed to shake the foundation of the dark void, causing it to begin to tremble violently, as if the void could no longer withstand such a powerful and overbearing force and could collapse and shatter at any time.

Seeing this, how could Zi Yan let Xiao Ling resist such powerful pressure alone? She took a step forward without hesitation, and the blood aura of the Taixu Ancient Dragon in her body was instantly stimulated to the extreme, gushing out of her body like a surging wave.

In an instant, a rich and brilliant purple halo spread around her, and even the dim space around her was illuminated to appear a little brighter.

"Hmph, without the ancient jade, you dare to trespass into the ancient emperor's cave. Hmph, then leave everything to me..." Zhu Kun's tone was full of disappointment. He had been waiting here for who knows how many years, hoping that the person holding the ancient jade would come and open the ancient emperor's cave. In this way, he could escape from this trapped place and look for his precious child who was left outside.

However, the moment these cold words came out, the cold voice suddenly stopped.

Zhu Kun's huge pupils stared blankly at Zi Yan beside Xiao Ling. Looking at her familiar appearance, a wonderful feeling of blood connection arose from the bottom of his originally indifferent heart.

The feeling was like strands of warm currents, gradually melting the coldness and indifference deep in its heart, making it a little dazed for a moment. Its eyes, originally filled with murderous intent, now had a more complex look, with surprise, confusion, and an indescribable sense of closeness.

That is the blood of the same origin. In this vast world, only his only child at that time could possess such a pure and unique blood aura.

"This feeling, this feeling..." Zhu Kun's golden eyes, which were originally filled with monstrous ferocity and supreme majesty, seemed to be touched by a magical force. Almost in an instant, the cold and sharp light gradually softened, making the originally frightening eyes actually have a bit more warmth and kindness.

The heart that had been silent for countless years was like a pool of stagnant water with a huge rock thrown into it, and it suddenly began to beat violently.

Zhu Kun's eyes were fixed on Zi Yan, unwilling to move away for a moment, and he murmured, "My previous perception was correct, you are... my child..."

Although this was just Zhu Kun's mumbling, due to his huge body, the sound echoed in the silent space, and both Xiao Ling and Zi Yan could hear it clearly.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling was greatly relieved. It seemed that Zhu Kun had already completely confirmed Zi Yan's identity, so a lot of trouble could be saved.

Xiao Ling knew very well that if he really had to fight with Zhu Kun, the other party was a peak nine-star Dou Sheng. Based on his own strength, he might not be able to withstand even one move from him.

But at this moment, the situation took a turn for the better, and what followed was a touching scene of the father and daughter who had been separated for many years recognizing and reuniting. This was not too beyond his previous expectations. Xiao Ling secretly rejoiced and just hoped that everything would go smoothly in the future.

As a close relative, Zhu Kun had already sensed Zi Yan's blood aura. Now that they were so close, Zi Yan naturally also clearly felt the wonderful feeling of being connected by blood.

In an instant, Zi Yan seemed to be cast under a spell and stood still, her face full of shock and disbelief.

She never imagined that she would meet her long-lost father in such an unexpected place in her life.

In her past memories, there was a blank about her father. Since she was old enough to understand, she had never experienced the feeling of having her father by her side, and she had never even imagined such a scene.

At this moment, her pupils suddenly widened, her eyes were full of disbelief, her mouth was slightly open, as if she wanted to say something, but no sound came out for a moment.

After a storm of inner thoughts, Zi Yan opened her mouth slightly, as if mustering up a lot of strength, and finally said stubbornly:

"I have been without a father and a mother since I was born. I have always been alone and used to being alone. Don't make nonsense. How could I have a father for no reason? You must have made a mistake."

As she spoke, she turned her head to the side, but her slightly red eyes and the corners of her clothes that she unconsciously clenched revealed her inner panic and confusion at the moment.

In fact, she also wanted to have a relative in her heart, but this sudden recognition was too unexpected, making it difficult for her to accept it for a while. She could only use such a hard-talking way to cover up her inner confusion, trying to make herself look like she didn't care that much, but the slightly trembling voice still revealed some of her true emotions.

When Xiao Ling saw Zi Yan's stubborn and forced calm expression, he couldn't help but feel sad.

He knew all the hardships Zi Yan had gone through since she was a child. She had been alone since she could remember, without the love and protection of her parents. Such a lonely life made people feel extremely desolate and lonely just thinking about it.

However, Xiao Ling still naturally pretended to be extremely surprised, as if the news he just heard was too shocking for him and difficult to accept for a while.

Then, he quickly reached out and pulled Zi Yan behind him, and turned his gaze towards Zhu Kun again, his eyes full of vigilance, and said in a hurried tone:

"Sir, who are you? Why did you attack us for no reason? We didn't mean to come here, and we didn't mean to offend you. If we accidentally disturbed your rest, we are willing to apologize. We hope you can show mercy and not make a fuss with us."

Zhu Kun seemed to not take Xiao Ling's words to heart at all. His gaze was like being attracted by a magnet, always firmly fixed on Zi Yan. His eyes were full of love and care, as if he had thousands of words to say.

Then, in the vision of Xiao Ling and Zi Yan, they saw a rich and brilliant purple light flashing on the endlessly winding dragon body that exuded a powerful aura.

Along with the shining purple light, the huge dragon body suddenly shrank. However, within a few breaths, the purple-gold dragon body that originally covered the sky and the sun and meandered endlessly disappeared like a phantom.

Then, a more intense purple light flashed, and when the light gradually dissipated, a middle-aged man in a black dragon robe appeared in front of Xiao Ling and Zi Yan.

This man had a resolute and dignified face, revealing an aura of authority without even being angry, but his eyes were full of tenderness, and anyone could see his concern for Zi Yan at the moment.

Zhu Kun was about to take a step forward, but he saw Zi Yan glaring at him. That pretty face, which was somewhat similar to his own, was now filled with coldness, blocking him out.

This made Zhu Kun a little at a loss for a moment. He raised his feet and then put them down. If he went forward, he was afraid that Zi Yan would be even more disgusted. If he didn't go forward, he was really eager to get close to her. So he just stood there awkwardly, with helplessness and bitterness in his eyes.

Faced with this scene, even though Zhu Kun was one of the most powerful men in the Douqi Continent, he was really troubled at the moment and didn't know what to do for a moment.

If he were asked to have a hearty fight with someone, that would be no problem at all, but he really had no experience in coaxing his daughter.

For a moment, the scene fell into silence. The air seemed to have frozen, leaving only the slightly heavy breathing of the three people.

In such a silent scene, Zi Yan slowly raised her head. She bit her lip, her eyes full of complicated expressions. After hesitating for a long time, she finally asked softly:

"Are you...are you really my father?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Kun hurriedly took a small step forward, his eyes full of excitement and eagerness, and said with an extremely certain tone: "Yes, child, how could I be wrong, you are my precious daughter!"

He bent down slightly, trying to make his eyes level with Zi Yan, his eyes full of kindness, and continued: "With your current cultivation level, you should be able to sense the blood aura of your father. This feeling of blood connection cannot be faked."

As Zhu Kun slowly approached, Zi Yan subconsciously pulled Xiao Ling back a few steps. Her eyes still showed a bit of vigilance and alienation. It was obvious that she had not yet completely dealt with the complex and tangled emotions in her heart.

She lowered her head slightly, not knowing how to face this man who suddenly appeared in front of her and claimed to be her father.

Zhu Kun looked at Zi Yan like this, his eyes full of pity, but he did not dare to step forward rashly. He just looked at Zi Yan's pretty face lovingly, his eyes full of tenderness and nostalgia, and could not help but said softly:

"Child, you look so much like your mother. Seeing you is like seeing her back then."

"You're still mentioning my mother here. I've been alone since I was born. My family only includes Xiao Ling, Sister Medusa, and the people from Ancient Dragon Island. I don't have a father or a mother!"

Hearing Zhu Kun mentioning something about her mother again, Zi Yan's emotions, which had been suppressed with great difficulty, were instantly stirred up again. She couldn't help but raise her voice and spoke in a delicate voice, her words full of grievance and stubbornness.

As she spoke, tears began to fall uncontrollably from the corners of her eyes, like beads that had broken off the string, sliding down her pink cheeks.

She raised her hand to wipe away her tears, but she wouldn't stop crying. It was as if she wanted to vent out all the loneliness and grievances she had endured all these years.

She turned her head away, not wanting Zhu Kun to see her so vulnerable, but her slightly trembling shoulders revealed her inner sadness at the moment.

Xiao Ling felt so distressed watching from the side that he patted Zi Yan's shoulder gently. He wanted to comfort her but didn't know where to start. He could only stand beside her silently and give her silent support.

Although this did allow the father and daughter to reunite, for both of them, such a sudden result really requires some time to slowly buffer before they can truly accept each other from the bottom of their hearts.

Especially Zi Yan, who had suffered from loneliness since childhood and was used to life without the support of her parents, it was not easy for her to completely accept this father who appeared out of nowhere.

However, Xiao Ling was very confident that the outcome would be good. After all, blood is thicker than water, and the bond of kinship that comes from deep in the bloodline cannot be severed.

Chapter 551 Conversation with Zhu Kun

"It's all my fault, all my fault! I shouldn't have thought about coveting the ancient emperor's cave. It's all because of that bastard Tushe Ancient Emperor. He deliberately set up a trap to plot against me, which caused me to be trapped here for so long!" Zhu Kun said bitterly with a face full of regret.

Seeing tears falling from Zi Yan's eyes, Zhu Kun panicked and hurriedly stepped forward and said anxiously:

"Child, don't cry, don't cry, it's all your fault. From now on, no matter what you ask me to do, I will listen to you. If you don't believe me, I can swear on oath!"

But who would have thought that Zi Yan just sniffed her pretty nose lightly, dodged the hands extended by Zhu Kun, walked straight to Xiao Ling, took Xiao Ling's arm, and didn't even look at Zhu Kun. She looked so distant, as if the person in front of her had nothing to do with her.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Kun felt like being struck by lightning. He stood there in a daze. Then, his eyes turned towards Xiao Ling with a hint of ferocity, as if he was blaming Xiao Ling for snatching Zi Yan away.

"It seems that His Majesty the old Dragon Emperor is a little hostile to me. Humph, if I hadn't brought Zi Yan here, you two father and daughter would never have the chance to meet now." Seeing Zhu Kun's unfriendly look, Xiao Ling couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart.

But on second thought, he could understand Zhu Kun's feelings at the moment. If his daughter was closer to another man than to himself, he would probably feel bad too.

After a brief thought, Xiao Ling raised his hand and gently touched Zi Yan's soft purple hair under Zhu Kun's still unfriendly gaze, and said softly: "I think Zi Yan should have made a decision in her heart about this matter. Senior, let her make the choice according to her inner thoughts. However, no matter what, I will stand by her side and support her."

"Yeah!" Zi Yan nodded vigorously, and her eyes gently turned to Zhu Kun, whose face was full of bitterness. Her eyes had quietly changed a little. After all, the person in front of her was her biological father, and the fact that they were connected by blood could not be faked in any way.

Zi Yan bit her lip slightly, as if a thousand emotions were surging in her heart. She had imagined countless times what it would be like to have her father by her side, but when this day really came, she didn't know how to face it. At this moment, looking at Zhu Kun's anxious and cautious appearance, the originally hardened resistance in her heart began to slowly loosen.

“Um… I…” Zi Yan opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but swallowed the words back. After all, she was still not used to communicating with Zhu Kun so intimately. However, there was a little more entanglement and hesitation in the look when she looked at Zhu Kun, and it was no longer as cold and distant as before.

Seeing this, Zhu Kun's eyes flashed with surprise. He quickly struck while the iron was hot and said in a soft voice, "Son, I know that you have been wronged over the years. It is my fault. I will make it up to you in the future. Just give me a chance, okay?"

As he spoke, Zhu Kun's eyes were full of earnestness. His usual majestic appearance was long gone. At this moment, he was just a father who longed for his daughter's forgiveness.

Zi Yan was silent for a while, her hands unconsciously clenched the corners of her clothes. She took a deep breath and whispered, "Then...then tell me first, what happened back then, why haven't I seen you since I was born..."

Zhu Kun sighed slightly, a look of reminiscence appeared on his face, and he slowly said:

"Back then, the situation was really complicated. My father's cultivation level was stuck at the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm, and he couldn't make any progress. That's why I left the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan to look for an opportunity to break through to the Dou Emperor. But after I found the cave of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor, I was trapped here after being tricked by the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor. I was completely cut off from the outside world and had no way to find you and your mother."

"I have felt guilty all these years. I always thought that if I could see you again, I would make it up to you..."

Zi Yan listened quietly, her eyes slightly red again. Although she didn't say anything, her expression showed that she had already begun to slowly accept this father who suddenly appeared in her heart.

Zi Yan rolled her eyes, then pointed at Zhu Kun and said crisply, "Since you keep saying that you are my father, now that I, your daughter, have come to you, you must give me some benefits, right? After all, you are the previous Dragon Emperor of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, and a Nine-Star Fighting Saint at the peak level. You must have a lot of good things in your hands."

When Zhu Kun heard Zi Yan's words, the smile on his face froze, and his expression became quite bitter. He sighed helplessly and explained:

"My child, I have been trapped here for so many years. I have used up all the things I brought with me. Now I really have nothing left. It's not that I don't want to give it to you, but I am really short of money and can't give you anything good."

As he spoke, Zhu Kun looked at Zi Yan with eyes full of guilt, his heart full of helplessness and self-blame. As a father, he couldn't even give his daughter the benefits she asked for, which made him feel really uncomfortable.

When Zi Yan heard this, her expectant face instantly fell, and she muttered:

"Humph, I knew it wouldn't be that easy. It sounds good, but it turns out there's nothing. Then it doesn't matter whether I have you as my father or not..."

When Zhu Kun saw Zi Yan's disappointed look, he became anxious and said quickly:

"Child, don't be disappointed. I still have a lot of good things to give you. I have a few fighting skills passed down by the Dragon King of our Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan. Those fighting skills are extremely precious. Except for the Dragon King, no one else in the clan has the opportunity to get in touch with them. I can teach them all to you. Some of them are high-level fighting skills of the heavenly rank. They are top-notch in this Douqi Continent and should be of great help to your future cultivation."

As Zhu Kun spoke, he looked at Zi Yan eagerly, hoping to make his daughter happier.

Zi Yan's eyes lit up slightly after hearing this. In fact, she had not originally thought of gaining any benefits from Zhu Kun, but she was quite looking forward to the opportunity to learn this heavenly advanced fighting skill.

"If you say so, then you can teach me all these fighting skills when you have time later."

Changing the subject, Zi Yan frowned again and asked with a little concern: "By the way, you have been trapped here for so long, how can we get you out? We can't let you be trapped here forever."

"This Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's cave and the restriction that trapped my father are bound together. Only when Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's cave is opened, the restriction that trapped me will dissipate and fade away."

Zhu Kun explained helplessly, his words full of resentment towards Tushegudi.

"Back then, my father relied on his own strong martial arts to forcibly break the restriction, but he was ambushed by that old bastard and was trapped here. So for all these years, my father has been waiting here for the person holding the ancient jade to come."
