Douluo: Adventure Begins from Wuhun City

Chapter 138 Meeting an acquaintance by chance
“Of course, and although you relied on the advantage of your martial spirit to dominate the competition in the Slaughter City, now that you are in the outside world, you are still a little soul warrior without even a spirit ring.

Compared to us, your need for spirit rings is more urgent, and your strange martial spirit is probably also very picky about spirit rings, so traveling with Ah Yin will help you far more than you can imagine."

Chen Yao used a combination of lies and coaxing to scare Tang Yuehua so much that she was stunned and nodded subconsciously.

"Since you have no objection, let's get going quickly. We don't know how far we are from the Star Forest."

As he spoke, Chen Yao pulled Tang Yuehua, who had not yet fully recovered from her shock, and walked towards A Yin and the others.

After coming out of the Hell Road, although it was an unfamiliar place, they were still in the western part of the continent, not far from the Star Forest in the central part. After just a few days of travel, they had arrived at a small town not far from the Star Forest.

When he revisited the old place this time, familiar scenes came into view, but Chen Yao was not a sentimental person and his expression remained calm.

Instead, Liu Erlong looked at the surrounding environment, with a complex look in her eyes.

If she had not met Bibi Dong and Chen Yao in this town back then, perhaps her life trajectory would be completely different from what it is now?
If that were the case, would she be with Yu Xiaogang now?

Thinking of this, Liu Erlong suddenly recalled the image of Yu Xiaogang in his mind.

He had messy hair, unshaven beard and shabby clothes.

Suddenly, Liu Erlong shuddered subconsciously and quickly moved closer to Chen Yao beside her. While she was feeling relieved, she also began to doubt what she was thinking at the beginning and why she was so obsessed with Yu Xiaogang.

Although she never judges people by their appearance, she still has to maintain basic cleanliness and tidiness.

However, Yu Xiaogang is always sloppy. Even though she knows that Yu Xiaogang often studies academic books all night long and has no intention of dressing up, she still cannot accept it.

According to her personality, although she would admire Yu Xiaogang, it was far from the level of love between men and women, not to mention the crazy and insane desire to be with him at the beginning.

“I don’t know what I was thinking at the time.”

Liu Erlong lowered her eyes, curled her lips, and muttered something. Then she seemed to have thought of something and was stunned.

"If at that time, after that incident happened, I didn't get angry and chase him, but had a good talk with him, with his personality, wouldn't the situation between us be awkward like it is now? Instead, I would be standing by his side openly and honestly?"

While Liu Erlong's thoughts were wandering, she subconsciously raised her head and glanced in the direction of Chen Yao, only to find that he was flirting with Tang Yuehua and A Yin, so intense that she forgot herself.

Suddenly, Liu Erlong came back to his senses, felt a sour feeling in his teeth, a sour look on his face, and snorted coldly.

"This isn't a good thing either. Why didn't I catch up with you and burn you to ashes?"

While saying this, Liu Erlong did not slow down and quickly caught up with him.

While a few people were playing around, they also stepped into the Star Dou Great Forest.

Chen Yao himself had spent quite some time in the Xingdou Great Forest, and there was also A Yin, a “native” forest dweller.

After they entered the forest, they had a smooth journey and soon reached the depths of the forest.

"We're almost there, let's start looking from here."

Chen Yao looked around and said to A Yin.

Ah Yin nodded when he heard that, but suddenly he noticed a commotion in the forest nearby.

Not only A Yin, but others also noticed it and turned around.

With everyone's amazing eyesight, they soon discovered that a hundred meters away, a plump and graceful figure was holding a child of about three years old and dodging in the forest with a look of panic on her face.

Above the woman, there was a snow-white bird-like soul beast with wings like steel blades that was chasing after her. It was looking at the dodging figure below, and a human-like playful expression appeared on its face.

This is a perfectly normal scene of humans being attacked by soul beasts in the forest.

Chen Yao didn't feel anything about this and was too lazy to meddle in it.

But suddenly, he found that the pretty face running in front of him seemed a little familiar.

After sorting out his memory, Chen Yao was slightly surprised to find that although he was not familiar with this woman, he was still half-acquainted with her.

This person was the woman whom he had met outside the luxury store when he and Bibi Dong were on their way to the Sunset Forest and passing through Tiandou City. Even he had been somewhat coveting of her.

I didn't expect that after so many years, the child has grown up so much, his figure has become fuller and he looks more attractive.

I just don't know why she appeared in the Star Dou Great Forest alone with a child and was chased by soul beasts.

While Chen Yao was stunned, Tang Yuehua on the side spoke with a look of pity on her face.

"Ayao, let's save her. She's an orphan and a widow, so pitiful."

Although Tang Yuehua could be considered decisive in killing people in the City of Slaughter, in her heart at that time, those she killed were those who deserved to be killed. When she came to the outside world, because of her domain, her murderous intent was naturally well controlled, and she did not lose her original heart and reason.

So when she saw such a pitiful scene, she still felt pity.

When Chen Yao heard Tang Yuehua say this, his eyes suddenly rolled and a deep smile flashed in his eyes.

I was in a hurry at the beginning, so I didn't try to get involved with that couple, which is a little regrettable.

Unexpectedly, he now has the chance to make up for his regrets, and the birth of a child is another big plus. Coupled with Tang Yuehua's request, Chen Yao feels that if he does not take action to save that woman, he would be worse than a beast.

As he was thinking, the soul power around Chen Yao surged up.

"Yuehua, I think what you said is very right. I will go save them right now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yao disappeared.

The next moment, it appeared above the head of the bird or beast flying high in the sky.

"Gah!"

The bird or beast was obviously caught off guard by the human who suddenly appeared above its head, and there was a look of astonishment in its eyes.

However, before it could react, a pitch-black tentacle pierced its huge head.

The bird felt a pain on its head and its eyes went dark. Then it lost its voice and fell from the sky.

This bird-beast was only about 5 years old, much weaker than the big bats encountered in the Hell Road before. Facing Chen Yao, whose soul rings were now fully restored, it naturally had no room for resistance. Chen Yao slowly landed and came to the body of the soul beast. Six soul rings rose behind him, and the third soul ring began to shine. Then, a terrifying suction force surged out.

Afterwards, the bird-beast corpse, along with the rising dark soul ring on its body, began to decompose, turning into dark light particles, which then all sank into the third soul ring.

At the same time, Chen Yao felt the changes in his third soul skill and smacked his lips.

"Too weak, but better than nothing."

Shaking his head slowly, Chen Yao then turned around and looked at the mother and son behind him.

The woman had noticed the commotion a long time ago, and after seeing someone coming to help, although she was a little surprised, she still stopped.

It's not because she's not on guard against others, but with her current physical strength, even if she wants to run, she can't run for long, so she can only hope that the person who helped them is really a kind-hearted passerby, not a person with ulterior motives.

But when Chen Yao walked in front of her, the woman was obviously stunned.

As a woman in a high position of power, her observation skills were naturally amazing. Even though she hadn't seen him for many years, she could still sense a hint of familiarity in Chen Yao's brows.

"It seems that you still have some impression of me. Let me remind you that you were with your man outside those luxury stores in Tiandou City."

Chen Yao looked at the dazed expression of the woman and smiled.

The woman was stunned when she heard this. After thinking for a while, she exclaimed in surprise.

"It could be you?!"

She didn't expect that she would meet the man she had only met once in such a desperate situation.

As for why this man would help, the woman also understood from Chen Yao's unscrupulous and fiery gaze that kept sweeping across her sensitive parts.

However, the woman did not resist this, because her daughter was saved after all, and she had also suffered irreparable injuries from the attack of the soul beast just now. Time was running out, and she was afraid that she would not be able to let Chen Yao get his wish, nor would she betray her husband.

"Why did you appear in the forest with your child and be attacked by a spirit beast?"

Although Chen Yao had bad intentions, he still had a trace of vigilance in his heart, fearing that he had encountered some kind of trap. Although he was not afraid, he did not like the feeling of being fooled.

When the woman heard this, she forced a smile on her face and spoke weakly.

"My husband recently broke through to level 70. Since there was an elder from the sect leading the team, I thought there wouldn't be any accidents, so I took my daughter out to get some fresh air. However, we unexpectedly encountered an inexplicable riot of soul beasts in the forest.

In that chaos, I was separated from my husband and daughter, and we also encountered that soul beast. If we hadn't met the benefactor, my daughter and I would have died in the beast's mouth. Bai Jie is here to thank the benefactor!"

As she spoke, the woman knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

“No need to perform such a grand ceremony.”

Are you kidding? Chen Yao didn't want to be her benefactor, so he was about to help the woman up. However, when he touched the woman's body, he suddenly felt it go limp. He lowered his eyes and found that the woman had fallen powerlessly into his arms.

Just when Chen Yao was confused, the woman used up her last bit of strength and placed the confused child in her arms into Chen Yao's hands. Then, a smile appeared on her delicate face, which was pale and bloodless.

"My benefactor, I am no longer able to do this. I have no way to repay you for your kindness, but I would like to ask you to take care of my daughter for a while. My husband should be searching for me in the forest now, and he will find me soon. Then, he will give you a satisfactory reward."

After saying this, in Chen Yao's blank gaze, Bai Jie's eyes lost focus and her hands fell down helplessly.
"Uh, he's dead already?"

Chen Yao finally came back to his senses at this moment. Looking at the woman in his arms who had completely lost her breath, the corners of his mouth twitched wildly and he just wanted to curse.

"Mama, mama!"

The delicate child in Chen Yao's arms at this moment didn't know what was going on, but when she saw her mother closing her eyes and not moving, her heart suddenly panicked, tears wet her eyes, and she began to cry helplessly.

But at this time, her mother, who had always obeyed her in everything, could no longer give her any response.

When Chen Yao saw this, he suddenly felt a headache.

This time, he ended up losing more than he gained.

Put the woman's body on the ground.

Then he grabbed the girl's collar and brought her in front of him. From a distance, looking at her pitiful face with tears in her eyes, Chen Yao's face flashed with disgust, and then he made a ferocious expression and said in a vicious voice.

"Child, stop crying. Your mother is dead. If you keep crying, I will take you to see your mother!"

However, after hearing Chen Yao's fierce words, the child in his arms became even more out of control and burst into tears.

"Ayao, what's going on?"

Just when Chen Yao was having a headache, Tang Yuehua and others finally rushed over. Looking at the little girl in Chen Yao's arms and the corpse on the ground, they looked a little dazed and asked in confusion.

"That woman hasn't even returned the favor yet, and she left a girl behind to die. I'm really at a loss this time. Ah Yin, come and see if you can revive this woman?"

Chen Yao grabbed the girl's collar and said with a depressed look on his face.

Ah Yin was stunned when he heard that, then he looked at the woman on the ground who showed no signs of life, and suddenly said speechlessly.

"Hey, if this woman was just seriously injured and dying, I would still have some way to deal with it, but now this woman is dead, how can I revive her? I am the descendant of the God of Life, not the God of Life!"

Chen Yao went a little crazy after hearing this.

"Why didn't you come earlier? She just died!"

However, Ah Yin explained after hearing this.

"Judging from her injuries, she was only holding on because she was worried about her daughter. This was a last gasp of energy. In this case, even if I came earlier, it would be useless."

"What should we do now? Who of you can take care of the child?"

It was Chen Yao's turn to be speechless. He pulled the little girl away and asked with a look of disgust.

However, at this time, the three women who had always responded to Chen Yao's requests all looked at him with a ridiculous expression and laughed.

"Neither of us has ever taken care of a child. This is trouble you brought upon yourself. You can handle it yourself!"
