People in Doupo: Unparalleled Talents Actually Bring a System

Zi Yan couldn't help but frown slightly, with a look of disappointment on her face. She muttered and complained:

"Humph, I thought I could gain something, but there is nothing here except the cave of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor. Now Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's cave cannot be opened without the ancient jade, and you need the ancient jade to regain your freedom. What kind of rare thing is the ancient jade? Where can you get it?"

Seeing Zi Yan's disappointed look, Zhu Kun felt full of guilt, but he really had no good solution.

After all, if he had a way to get out of this predicament, he wouldn't have been trapped here for thousands of years, unable to escape.

"Since you said that you found this Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Cave in order to find the opportunity to break through to the Dou Emperor level, then according to what you said, does this Tuoshe Cave contain anything related to breaking through to the Dou Emperor level?"

Seeing that the scene was a little quiet for a moment, Xiao Ling quickly took over the conversation.

Zhu Kun stared at Xiao Ling, who seemed to have "kidnapped" his daughter, with unkind eyes. Just as he was about to say something, he was glared at by Zi Yan. He was like an eggplant hit by frost and could only reply angrily:

"Tuoshe Ancient Emperor is the last Dou Emperor in this world. There is indeed a chance for him to become an emperor in this cave."

Although Zhu Kun admitted that he had a chance to become an emperor, he was obviously reserved in his words and did not reveal the complete situation in front of Xiao Ling.

If he and Zi Yan were alone at this moment, Zhu Kun would be willing to tell Zi Yan in detail about this matter without reservation, and tell Zi Yan everything he knew and guessed.

After all, Zhu Kun really didn't trust Xiao Ling. If it wasn't for Zi Yan's sake, based on how close Xiao Ling and Zi Yan were when they first met, Zhu Kun would have been considered kind-hearted if he didn't kill Xiao Ling directly after seeing him.

How could he possibly reveal all the relevant information in Tushe Ancient Emperor's cave without reservation?

As for the opportunity to become an emperor, there is no need to keep it secret. After all, no matter whether Xiao Ling reveals it to the outside world or not, no one can open the cave without the ancient jade.

As long as someone comes here with the Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade one day, Zhu Kun will be able to use it to escape from the predicament, so it is okay to reveal a little in this regard. However, Zhu Kun will not disclose other key secrets so easily.

Zhu Kun's mind was full of calculations, but unfortunately he didn't know that Xiao Ling knew more about the Tushe Ancient Emperor's Cave than he did.

Xiao Ling narrowed his eyes slightly, and the subtle movement was almost imperceptible to others.

Yes, this opportunity to become an emperor is so precious, how could Zhu Kun reveal it easily.

In the original timeline, the other party knew clearly that the opportunity to become an emperor in the cave of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor contained the emperor-grade embryo pill and the origin of the emperor contained in the statue of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor.

It was not until later when Emperor Hun Tian began to refine the continent and the situation became extremely critical that he revealed the secret of the statue of Emperor Tushegu.

After all, the temptation of Emperor Cheng is too great. Anyone faced with such a temptation would probably have some reservations. This is just human nature and there is really nothing to blame.

After Zhu Kun casually explained, he frowned slightly. After all, he couldn't suppress his curiosity and doubts, and took the initiative to ask Xiao Ling: "What is your origin? How did you get so close to my daughter?"

As he spoke, there was a bit of scrutiny in his eyes as he stared at Xiao Ling closely. There was a father's vigilance in his eyes, as if he wanted to see through Xiao Ling inside and out.

Xiao Ling was slightly stunned, then smiled calmly and replied:

"Senior Dragon Emperor, Zi Yan and I have known each other for a long time. In the many experiences along the way, we have supported and helped each other, and unknowingly formed a deep friendship, which is why we are so close. I have no bad intentions, and Zi Yan and I really like each other. I hope that Senior will not misunderstand me."

When saying this, Xiao Ling subconsciously looked at Zi Yan beside him, and his eyes naturally revealed a hint of tenderness from the heart.

When Zi Yan heard this, her pretty face suddenly turned red, and the blush spread quickly like the sunset in the sky. She quickly hid her body behind Xiao Ling like a frightened little rabbit.

If Xiao Ling talked about this in front of other people, given Zi Yan's carefree personality, she would not only not feel shy, but would probably even show off proudly.

But now Xiao Ling actually talked about all this in front of his biological father, which made Zi Yan feel almost embarrassed to death.

When Zhu Kun saw Zi Yan's shy look, he felt extremely upset. But when he saw Xiao Ling's eyes full of affection and not fake when he looked at his daughter, and then looked at his precious daughter's reaction, he understood in his heart that these two people truly loved each other.

Although I was still a little unhappy in my heart, I felt it was not appropriate to say anything more for the moment. After all, my daughter had grown up and had her own thoughts, and as a father, it was not easy for her to interfere forcefully. However, I still felt like there was a stone blocking my heart and I didn't feel comfortable.

During this time, Zi Yan came back to her senses from her initial shyness, and immediately began to tell Zhu Kun about her experiences with Xiao Ling.

They first met at Canaan College when they were young and ignorant. Then they grew up together and their feelings gradually deepened during this time together.

After that, they set out on the journey to Zhongzhou together. After that, he returned to the Ancient Dragon Clan, and Xiao Ling also made a name for himself...

Zi Yan spoke briefly and to the point. Although she did not describe too many details, she still allowed Zhu Kun to roughly understand the difficulties they had gone through along the way and the friendship they had maintained.

Zhu Kun listened to Zi Yan's story quietly, and his expression gradually softened unconsciously.

As Zi Yan recounted her past experiences, the resistance he had felt towards Xiao Ling gradually faded away.

While asking Zi Yan in detail just now, Zhu Kun already knew that Xiao Ling usually took great care of Zi Yan.

Although he was not happy in his heart that his precious daughter was "kidnapped" by another man, looking at Zi Yan's unconcealed joy when she mentioned Xiao Ling, even though he was reluctant, he also understood that feelings cannot be forced, and finally he could only accept this fact helplessly.

Chapter 552 Farewell

"What? Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit?" When Zhu Kun heard Zi Yan mention the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, his eyes widened immediately, his face full of disbelief, and he asked anxiously, "Are you serious about what you said? You are not lying, and you are not mistaken about the situation, right?"

It was rare to see such a shocked expression on the face of a strong man like Zhu Kun. It was not difficult to see how great the impact of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit on Zhu Kun was.

You know, the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit has an extraordinary special meaning to the Taixu Ancient Dragon and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix. In view of this, it is normal for Zhu Kun to be so shocked.

Zhu Kun is very powerful now. In this vast Douqi Continent, there are very few things that can be called rare treasures and can cause such a strong reaction in him.

The Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit is just one of the few treasures that can arouse such a huge reaction in him.

"Senior, this is absolutely true. The Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit has been taken back to the Ancient Dragon Clan by Elder Zhuli of East Dragon Island. Apart from us, the three elders of Ancient Dragon Island know about this. I think no one else knows the situation of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the safety issues in this regard."

Seeing this, Xiao Ling opened his mouth to explain at the right time.

Zhu Kun nodded slightly, his face full of satisfaction. After hearing what Xiao Ling said, he said solemnly: "The matter of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit is really very important. It is related to the rise and fall of our ancient dragon clan. No matter how cautious we are, it is not too much. This kind of treasure is of extraordinary significance to our ancient dragon clan. Even for the current emperor, it has a role that cannot be ignored."

However, Zhu Kun suddenly remembered something crucial, frowned, and asked with a puzzled and strange tone, "But, after hearing what you said, what is the situation of Ancient Dragon Island? What is the situation of East Dragon Island? According to common sense, the number of elders on Ancient Dragon Island should not be so small. Even though I am trapped here and have not returned to the clan for a long time, I remember that there are definitely more than just three elders of the Ancient Dragon Clan, right?"

Seeing Zhu Kun asking this question, Xiao Ling and Zi Yan looked at each other, with a hint of helplessness and complexity in each other's eyes.

After a moment, Zi Yan coughed lightly, took a step forward, and roughly explained the current situation of the Ancient Dragon Clan to Zhu Kun.

After hearing Zi Yan's explanation, Zhu Kun suddenly became furious, his face flushed red, his eyes full of anger, and he cursed:

"Those damned things, they were only blessed with some royal blood by this emperor, yet they dared to be so arrogant! Not only did they attempt to split Ancient Dragon Island, but now that I have been trapped and left, they dared to proclaim themselves kings, and even dreamed of seizing the Dragon Emperor's orthodoxy. This is simply treason! Do you really think that when I am gone, there will be no one in the Ancient Dragon Clan who can control them? Humph, when I am free, I will definitely deal with this bunch of scoundrels and let them know what is the crime of disobedience and what is the dignity of my Ancient Dragon Clan that cannot be violated!"

Zhu Kun was so angry that he was shaking all over, and the rage in his heart seemed to burn him up.

In an instant, an extremely powerful aura burst out from his body uncontrollably, sweeping towards the surroundings like a surging wave.

The surrounding space seemed to be grasped tightly by an invisible giant hand in an instant, completely stagnating, and time seemed to slow down at this moment.

One can clearly feel how powerful the power contained in that breath is.

However, Zhu Kun's eyes inadvertently swept over Xiao Ling and Zi Yan, especially when he saw Zi Yan, although the anger in his heart was not completely extinguished, he still took his daughter into consideration and did not vent his emotions directly because of being too angry.

So, Zhu Kun gritted his teeth and forced himself to suppress the surging breath. The power that was originally spreading wildly began to converge slowly, and the stagnant space around him gradually returned to normal. However, there was still a trace of oppression caused by his rage in the air.

Seeing this, Zi Yan couldn't help but curl her lips slightly and complained in a low voice:

"You make it sound easy, but without the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, you are still trapped here and can't get out. Now, I can only say a few harsh words here to vent my anger. If you don't have the time to get angry, you might as well think about how to get the ancient jade and leave this place as soon as possible."

After hearing Zi Yan's words, Zhu Kun's face was full of helplessness. He sighed and said slowly:

"My child, I am trapped here and have no way to go out to collect the ancient emperor jade of Natusha. I can only be trapped in this world and worry about it. I am really helpless."

After a short pause, Zhu Kun's eyes softened and he looked at Zi Yan, saying expectantly:

"But child, if you can completely devour, absorb, and refine the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, your strength will surely be greatly improved. In addition, you will learn the fighting skills of the ancient dragon royal family that your father taught you. With this foundation, you will be able to easily suppress those rebellious people who are plotting rebellion, and let them know that the orthodox majesty of our ancient dragon clan cannot be violated."

Zi Yan raised her chin slightly, her eyes showing determination and resoluteness, and said in a resounding voice:

"You don't need to tell me about these things. I will handle them myself. As the next Dragon King of the Ancient Dragon Clan, it is my unshirkable responsibility to protect the stability of the Ancient Dragon Clan and quell the rebellion within the clan."

Seeing Zi Yan like this, Zhu Kun smiled with satisfaction, his eyes full of love and approval. He slowly said:

"My child, it seems that you have really grown up and become so responsible. Seeing you like this now, your father is really relieved. I am very relieved that the Ancient Dragon Clan can be handed over to you. I believe that under your leadership, our Ancient Dragon Clan will be able to regain its former glory. Those villains who attempt to destroy the stability of our clan will definitely be dealt with by you one by one."

"Although I have many regrets about being trapped here, as long as I think of you taking on the responsibility of protecting the ancient dragon clan, I feel that everything is worth it."

Being praised so generously by Zhu Kun, Zi Yan's originally fair face couldn't help but blush slightly, making her look charming and beautiful.

She looked away shyly, neither responding nor looking at Zhu Kun. However, the slightly raised corners of her mouth revealed the joy and pride in her heart at the moment.

Seeing Zi Yan being so shy, Zhu Kun just smiled with relief and didn't take it too seriously. Then he straightened his expression, stretched out his finger and gently touched his chest.

In an instant, a drop of blood emitting a mysterious purple-gold light slowly jumped out of his body and steadily appeared on his palm.

At the same time, Zhu Kun's burly figure shook slightly, but fortunately he quickly returned to his normal posture and did not show any discomfort.

Such a commotion naturally attracted the attention of Zi Yan and Xiao Ling. They both cast puzzled glances at him at the same time, their eyes full of curiosity, wondering what Zhu Kun's intention was.

Zhu Kun looked at the two people's puzzled eyes and did not keep them in suspense. He explained seriously:

"This drop of blood was condensed for my father. It not only contains some of my father's will, but also carries some of the skills and combat techniques passed down by the Dragon Emperor of the Ancient Dragon Clan. You will be able to gain insights from it in the future."

"Also, when you absorb the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, the energy contained within it is extremely enormous, and it will undoubtedly be quite strenuous for you to absorb. However, as long as you absorb this blood, it will be able to provide you with a certain amount of assistance, allowing you to absorb the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit more smoothly, and there will be basically no unexpected situations."

As Zhu Kun spoke, he gently held up the drop of purple-gold blood in his palm, his eyes full of concern and expectations for Zi Yan, and slowly extended his hand in Zi Yan's direction.

When Zi Yan saw this scene, she first took a close look at the drop of blood. The blood emitted a mysterious and soft light in Zhu Kun's palm, as if there was endless power hidden in it.

Although Zhu Kun said it lightly and demonstrated the previous actions very smoothly, Zi Yan was very sensitive and how could she not notice something unusual.

She could clearly sense that Zhu Kun's act of refining blood must have consumed a lot of his energy, and it was definitely not as relaxed as he appeared to be.

Then, she took another deep look at Zhu Kun's kind face, feeling a little moved, and her eyes became slightly red.

She nodded gently, then reached out her hands and took out a warm jade bottle from the ring. She carefully put the drop of blood into the bottle and then carefully put the jade bottle away, fearing that something might be lost.

Zi Yan looked at Zhu Kun seriously and said firmly, "Don't worry. I will make good use of this gift. Although there are many disputes within the clan now, I will definitely use my own strength to settle these disputes of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan. Moreover, I will definitely try my best to collect the Natusha Ancient Emperor Jade and rescue you from here."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Kun's face immediately lit up with joy. His brows, which had been furrowed due to hearing about the dire situation of the Ancient Dragon Clan, were now completely relaxed, with an expression of relief and joy on his face.

He knew in his heart that Zi Yan had now completely accepted him as a father and knew how to consider him in every way. Such a caring look made him, as a father, feel warm in his heart. He felt that all the hardships and helplessness he had experienced before became less important at this moment.

Afterwards, after talking to each other for a while, Zi Yan felt more shy and uncomfortable, and she felt embarrassed to stay here any longer.

After all, this father who suddenly appeared in front of her was both familiar and unfamiliar to her. For a moment, she was still a little at a loss when facing Zhu Kun.

So, Zi Yan blushed, reached out and grabbed the corner of Xiao Ling's clothes, tugged it gently, indicating that she wanted to take him away from here.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling could naturally understand Zi Yan's thoughts. He hurriedly stepped forward, with a polite and decent smile on his face, and said:

"Senior, to be honest, we have many other things to deal with, so we can only say goodbye today. Don't worry, if I have time in the future, I will bring Zi Yan to visit you again."

Zhu Kun has lived for so many years, and his eyesight is very sharp. How could he not see Zi Yan's thoughts and situation at this moment?

Although he was somewhat reluctant to see his daughter leave, he had no intention of stopping her. He just turned his gaze and fell on Xiao Ling.

A fierce look flashed across those eyes instantly, and they stared at Xiao Ling fiercely, and spoke with a full warning:

"Xiao Ling, listen to me, you have to take good care of Zi Yan from now on. Don't let her suffer any injustice. If she has any mishap or is wronged, humph, even if you have ten lives, it will not be enough to live. You must remember this firmly!"

When Xiao Ling heard Zhu Kun's warning words, he immediately smiled and nodded, and said quickly: "Senior, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Zi Yan and will not let her suffer any grievances. I will do my best to protect her, you can rest assured."

After saying that, Xiao Ling did not dare to delay any longer. He gently took Zi Yan's hand, and the two of them turned into two streams of light and flew straight out of this space.

Being warned so sternly by a strong man like Zhu Kun was the first time that Xiao Ling had encountered such a situation, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of pressure in his heart.
