Douluo: Adventure Begins from Wuhun City

Chapter 188 Cause and Effect
Chen Yao nodded, then turned to look at Zhu Zhuqing.

"You will have to go there later. My training for you is just to strengthen your foundation. Only when you walk out of there can you achieve true transformation."

As he spoke, Chen Yao paused, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and then he spoke again.

"Of course, if you don't have such high aspirations, you can also practice peacefully."

"I'm going!"

Before Chen Yao finished speaking, Zhu Zhuqing spoke resolutely.

She didn't know where the place Chen Yao was talking about was, nor did she know what it meant, but she understood that this was a trial that would make her stronger, so no matter how difficult the trial was, she had the confidence to complete it with her own perseverance!

But after hearing Zhu Zhuqing's words, Chen Yao did not react at all, but Qian Renxue could not help but sneered.

"Don't agree so readily. Do you know where it is? It's really hell on earth. If you go there, I'm afraid you'll be eaten alive in less than a day!"

Qian Renxue, as the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, had naturally heard of the Slaughter City. Although her father had never been there for training, based on the introduction in the classics and the summary of Bibi Dong who had personal experience, she clearly understood how cruel that place was!

"Just because you don't dare to go doesn't mean others don't dare to go!"

Zhu Zhuqing didn't care at all about Qian Renxue's teasing.

"Is it?"

Qian Renxue raised a strange arc at the corner of her mouth, and then told her what she knew about the City of Slaughter.

Listening to Qian Renxue's opinions, Gu Yuena fell into deep thought, and Zhu Zhuqing's face began to turn pale. She opened her mouth from time to time, but didn't know what to say.

The cruelty of the City of Slaughter is still a little hard for her to accept now.

"Alright, even if you want to go to the Slaughter City, that's for the future. You just need to practice well now."

Chen Yao spoke, breaking the somewhat weird atmosphere.

And at this moment, accompanied by a weak whimper, Bai Xiang finally couldn't hold on any longer and died under Tang Yuehua's knife.

Tang Yuehua casually threw the blood-stained dagger into the pool of blood, walked towards Chen Yao, and said with some regret and loss.

"A Yao, it's all my fault. I haven't practiced hard these years, so I still can't cut people with thousands of cuts like you did before. I only cut him with hundreds of cuts, and he died."

Although he said something that could send chills down one's spine, his tone was filled with self-blame, which made one feel very uncomfortable.

Then, in front of Qian Renxue and Zhu Zhuqing, Tang Yuehua threw herself into Chen Yao's arms, full of grievance, like a delicate woman who had been bullied and was complaining to her husband.

There is no way to tell that this is the same ruthless female devil from before.

"Well, it's not a big deal. If you are interested, just practice more in the future. This kind of skill doesn't depend on talent. Practice makes perfect."

Chen Yao chuckled and comforted him.

"Hey, is this a question of whether to practice or not? Are all the people who come out of that place not normal in their brains? Bibi Dong is like this, and you are also like this, is it really that weird?"

At this moment, after hearing Chen Yao's vicious words, Qian Renxue couldn't help but roll her eyes and interrupted the two people who were in love with each other in a bad mood.

"Bibi Dong?"

As if she heard some key words, Tang Yuehua suddenly broke free from Chen Yao's arms, looked at Qian Renxue with bloodshot eyes, and her whole body was filled with fighting spirit.

"What? Do you have a grudge against Bibi Dong? That's good. I don't like her either. But with your strength, I'm afraid it's unlikely that you'll be able to take revenge in this lifetime."

Qian Renxue looked at Tang Yuehua's stressed expression and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Although Tang Yuehua looked scary just now, Qian Renxue was simply feeling physically uncomfortable because it was her first time seeing such a bloody scene. She was not afraid of Tang Yuehua's strength at all.

She is now also a level 50 Soul King, and believes that as long as she obtains the right soul ring, Tang Yuehua's level 56 soul power will be no match for her. This is the confidence that her innate level 20 soul power and god-level martial soul bring her!

"Okay, why don't you get along with anyone?"

Seeing that Tang Yuehua's expression was becoming increasingly unfriendly, Chen Yao interrupted her speechlessly. Then, ignoring the depressed Qian Renxue, he changed the subject, pointed at the students who were still standing there and had been frightened silly, and asked.

"What's going on with these people?"

"They were my students. I brought them here to get spirit rings, but they were blocked by someone, and then the situation just now happened."

Tang Yuehua calmed herself down, looked at Qian Renxue deeply, and then explained to Chen Yao.

"Oh~ student?"

There was an imperceptible glint in Chen Yao's eyes as he looked up and down at Tang Yuehua.

Feeling Chen Yao's gaze, Tang Yuehua felt shy in her heart. The inner feelings that had been suppressed for years began to burst into flames, and they became more and more intense.

"Well, when Ah Yin came back, she told us that you were taken away by Bibi Dong. Ah Yin and I wanted to fight Bibi Dong, but Liu Erlong was sure that Bibi Dong would not hurt you, so we ran to Wuhun City and used Ah Yin's ability to find your whereabouts, hoping to take the opportunity to rescue you."

Although Tang Yuehua was very angry, she still suppressed her anger and explained to Chen Yao what had happened over the years.

"Save me? You have been staying in Wuhun City for the past few years?"

Chen Yao was a little surprised when he heard this. It turned out that every time Bibi Dong pressed him down and rubbed him, there were three people not far away who were obsessed with him?
For a moment, Chen Yao felt a trace of guilt.

"Yes, we did stay in Wuhun City before, thinking of improving our strength while trying to find a way to save you."

Tang Yuehua nodded, then sighed.

"But unfortunately, although Ah Yin can sense your presence through the blue silver grass, you must have been in some dark place, and Ah Yin can never completely determine your location."

Having said that, Tang Yuehua looked at Chen Yao with eyes full of heartache and gently stroked Chen Yao's cheek.

"Ayao, I've wronged you in the past few years."

"Well! I have been wronged, but my life is not that hard."

Chen Yao coughed awkwardly and changed the subject. "What happened after that? You guys just kept waiting?"

Tang Yuehua shook his head.

"That was indeed our original intention, but some time ago, the Spirit Hall suddenly rioted. After Ah Yin's investigation, we also learned that you escaped from the Spirit Hall. We were ecstatic at that time and wanted to chase you, but your speed was too fast.

Although you paused for a moment, and Ah Yin said that you were stopped by a silver-haired woman, it didn't take long for you to reach a consensus with the silver-haired woman and leave together, completely out of the limit of Ah Yin's Blue Silver Grass's perception. We wanted to find you, but we had no direction at all!"

Tang Yuehua said this with a tone of grievance, staring straight at Chen Yao, as if asking, who is the woman who abducted him?
When Chen Yao heard this, his face suddenly became more embarrassed, and Qian Renxue and Zhu Zhuqing immediately turned their eyes to the expressionless Gu Yuena.

Although Gu Yuena's face was still disguised at the moment, Qian Renxue and Zhu Zhuqing had both seen her true appearance. Her silver hair was so recognizable.

"Well, let's not discuss this. Go on."

Tang Yuehua glanced at Chen Yao quietly before speaking hesitantly.

"We were in Wuhun City at the time, and Ah Yin couldn't bear it anymore, so he went out to hang out every day. He went to the slums and saw the sufferings of the people.

You also told me that the heir of the God of Life has a gentle and kind temperament. Even though she was brought to the City of Slaughter by you and was ruthless to those evildoers, Ah Yin's heart was still extra soft towards these poor people. She gave them food and even accepted some of them as her disciples.

Afterwards, when we saw that we couldn't catch up with you, we became a little discouraged and thought about leaving Wuhun City and trying to find a solution, but Ah Yin wanted to take her disciples with her, and Liu Erlong agreed after a brief discussion. Since I had the lowest strength, I naturally had no right to express my opinion.

In this way, we came to Tiandou City, and with the help of Ah Yin's disciples, we founded Liuyue Grass Academy, expanded our influence, and used it to find your whereabouts."

After Tang Yuehua explained the whole process, Chen Yao's face twitched involuntarily.

"Tiandou City, do you know the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect?"

Tang Yuehua raised her head and looked at Chen Yao with some surprise.

"I know. Wasn't it the sect that joined forces with us to fight against those soul beasts in the Xingdou Great Forest last time? When we landed in Tiandou City, the people from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect sent us an invitation, but at that time, because they wanted to find you, their minds were in a mess and they were too lazy to deal with it, so they put it on hold. What's wrong?"

After hearing this, Chen Yao took a deep breath.

"Since you all know that I have a close relationship with the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, and I happen to be in Tiandou City, why didn't you guess that I might have gone to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect to hide?"

Tang Yuehua was stunned when she heard this, then her eyes widened.

"Ah Yao, were you staying in the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect at that time?"

"Yes, I wanted to look for you at that time, but unfortunately the Spirit Hall pressed me hard. I was afraid of being discovered by Bibi Dong, so I didn't let the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect release the news. I just didn't expect that you were actually in Tiandou City, at the foot of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's mountain."

Chen Yao smiled bitterly.

"how so."

For a moment, Tang Yuehua was somewhat distraught. She had never imagined that the person she had vowed to find even if it meant going to the ends of the earth and through all the changes in the world, was actually not far away in the same city? It was too dramatic!

"Hey, why are you two acting like you're parting from each other? Brother Chen Yao has only been away from the Spirit Hall for less than two years. Is it necessary? Haven't we seen it now?"

"Yes!"

After hearing Qian Renxue's words, Tang Yuehua finally reacted. Now that the person she had been thinking about day and night was right in front of her, why should she worry about the past?

Her heart was agitated, and coupled with Chen Yao's teasing just now, she was very angry. She didn't bother to say anything more to Chen Yao. Regardless of Chen Yao's old face at the moment, she hugged Chen Yao tightly and kissed him deeply.

Seeing Tang Yuehua's arrogant behavior, not only Chen Yao, but also the other three women were shocked.

Feeling the three murderous gazes behind him, Chen Yao's face twitched and he pulled Tang Yuehua away.

Facing his slightly dissatisfied and questioning look, Chen Yao curled the corners of his mouth and pointed at the female students behind him.

"Pay attention, your students are watching you!"

After Chen Yao's reminder, Tang Yuehua suddenly realized. With blushing cheeks, she struggled to get out of Chen Yao's arms, looked at her students who were already confused and incredulous, feeling ashamed in her heart. She looked at Chen Yao again before asking.

"Ayao, are you here to hunt spirit rings as well? Is it over yet?"

Chen Yao shook his head and pointed at Qian Renxue and himself.

"I haven't found my own soul ring yet, so I have to help her find her soul ring first."

Seeing this, Tang Yuehua hesitated to speak. She wanted to ask what the relationship between these women and Chen Yao was, but when she thought of Chen Yao's personality, she didn't know how to start the conversation, so she kept silent. Then her eyes rolled around, and when she thought of something, she spoke.

"Since you want to find a soul beast, why don't you come with me to Tiandou City and tell Ah Yin the good news? Ah Yin's ability can save you a lot of effort."

If Chen Yao wanted to hunt soul beasts, he would have to go deep into the forest. She was a little worried about the students who had just stood up for her, and she also didn't want to see Chen Yao disappear from her sight again.

Even if she believed that Chen Yao knew the location of her and others, he would go to Tiandou City after hunting the spirit rings.

Chen Yao thought for a while and shook his head.

"Forget it, there's no need. I have other ways to find soul beasts. The safety of your students is important. Send them back first. After I finish this trip, I will definitely go to Tiandou City to find you."

Upon hearing this, Tang Yuehua could not hide her disappointment on her face, but she also knew what was important. After hesitating for a moment, she seemed to have made up her mind and raised her hand to wave at the three students.

Suddenly, starlight splashed everywhere, and the students, who were already frightened, fainted.

Seeing this, Tang Yuehua looked at Gu Yuena and the others again. Knowing that she was not very confident, she thought for a moment and decided not to care about it anymore. She gritted her teeth and said to Chen Yao.

"Then I'll go back first, but before I go back, I still have something to do. You have to pay me the interest for the years you were absent!"

"What interest?"

Chen Yao didn't react for a moment.

"Humph!"

Tang Yuehua snorted coldly, then, amid the bewildered looks of Gu Yuena and the other two girls, she grabbed Chen Yao's hand and ran towards the impenetrable forest.
