Douluo: Reviving the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan

Chapter 99 Ye Lingling

After a long time, Dugu Yan finally let go of Yu Tianyun's lips, staring into his eyes, her voice trembling and choking:

"You cruel fellow, why did you show up only now? I thought... I thought you would never come back."

Her eyes were still red, and the crystal tears were still trembling slightly on her eyelashes, as if they were bright gems that could fall at any time.

Yu Tianyun gently wiped away the tears on her cheeks, his eyes full of heartache and tenderness, and said softly:

"Yanyan, how could I bear to leave you? It's just that some things were beyond my expectations, so I was delayed for so long."

Duguyan punched his chest in an angry tone, the force of which was like a gentle caress:

"No matter what happens, I can't let you leave me for so long. These days, I miss you and worry about you day and night. Do you know how much I suffer?"

Yu Tianyun took her hand, placed it on his lips and kissed it, and solemnly promised:

"Yanyan, I will never do that again. No matter how many storms there are in the future, I will hold your hand tightly and stay by your side forever, and never let you suffer the slightest grievance or harm."

Dugu Yan let go of Yu Tianyun's embrace, smoothed her messy hair, tried to restore her expression to normal, then turned to look at Qin Ming and said:
"Teacher Qin, this is my fiancé. We need some time. I'm afraid I can't participate in today's training."

Qin Ming looked at Dugu Yan, whose face was filled with happiness, and frowned slightly, as if he was a little helpless, but soon he smiled and nodded:

"Go ahead, have a good time together."

Dugu Yan cast a grateful look at Qin Ming, then took Yu Tianyun's hand again and couldn't wait to leave the training ground.

They came to a quiet garden, with petals falling like snow in the breeze. Dugu Yan found a bench and sat down, while Yu Tianyun sat beside her.

Duguyan turned her head and looked at Yu Tianyun. Her eyes showed both the joy of reunion and the lingering worry. She said:

"Teacher Qin has always been strict in teaching. He takes training and academics very seriously, so he doesn't want to see students miss classes without reason."

Yu Tianyun nodded slightly, his eyes always on Dugu Yan, and said nonchalantly:

"I understand, but in my heart, nothing else matters more than being with you. Even the whole world cannot compare to your smile or hug."

Hearing Yu Tianyun's words, Dugu Yan's heart was filled with sweetness, but then her eyes were filled with concern. She looked at Yu Tianyun and asked:

"Tell me quickly, what has delayed you for so long?"

She was eager to know what Yu Tianyun had experienced during this period.

Yu Tianyun sighed lightly and said slowly:
"I entered a secret place of my family, where there are many rare opportunities, but dangers are also everywhere. I forgot the time in there, but every difficult night, your figure was in my mind."

Yu Tianyun once again recounted the trip to Longgu in vivid detail.

It didn't take long for him to finish explaining the general process. Dugu Yan gently leaned on Yu Tianyun's shoulder, her voice as gentle as the spring breeze:
"As long as you can come back, everything will be fine. Compared to those opportunities and so on, I just want you to come back safely."

Yu Tianyun stroked her hair, feeling the silky touch, and said affectionately:

"Yanyan, I will always be by your side in the future." "By the way, I heard from grandpa that you have broken through to level 54?"

"Well, when your eldest brother was still around, he could still fight with me for a few moves, but now none of my teammates are my match."

When talking about this, Duguyan's tone was filled with a hint of pride, but then a hint of loneliness flashed across her eyes:
"However, I can feel that because I am too strong, there is a subtle gap between everyone and me. Except for Lingling, I am not close to other teammates. But with you by my side, they are not important."

"Lingling? She's the girl in your team, right?"

Yu Tianyun asked curiously.

"Yes, Lingling is my best friend. She is actually very pitiful. Her fate is very similar to mine. The martial spirit defect of our Green Phosphorus Snake lineage caused my parents to leave me early. I have been dependent on my grandfather since I was a child."

Duguyan was lost in memories, her voice low and sad.
"In the Nine-Hearted Begonia lineage, there can only be two soul masters with this kind of martial spirit at the same time on this continent. In order for her to successfully awaken the Nine-Hearted Begonia martial spirit, her blood relatives had no choice but to sacrifice themselves to pave the way for her. Since she awakened her martial spirit, she has been burdened with too many things, and she has been living in self-blame."

As she spoke, Dugu Yan's voice was filled with deep sympathy.

Suddenly, Dugu Yan thought of the magic grass. Since she could change her fate because of the magic grass, Ye Lingling could do the same. She suddenly had an urge to ask Yu Tianyun to pick a magic grass for Ye Lingling, but then she thought that Yu Tianyun and Ye Lingling had no relatives, so there was no reason to give such a treasure as the magic grass to outsiders, so she couldn't ask.

But Ye Lingling is her best friend, and she really can't bear to let her go through tragedy again. Is there any way to make Yu Tianyun willingly give Ye Lingling the fairy grass?
Yu Tianyun didn't know what Dugu Yan was thinking, so he changed the subject and told her the purpose of this trip:

"Yanyan, I am studying at Lanba Academy now, and I am preparing to participate in the All-Continental Senior Academy Spirit Master Elite Competition in two years. Please leave Tiandou Royal Academy and come to me!"

"Okay, I'll go wherever you go, but can you take Lingling with you? She doesn't have any friends here, and she'll definitely be even more lonely if I leave."

Dugu Yan looked at Yu Tianyun expectantly, with a barely perceptible cunning glint in her eyes.

Yu Tianyun naturally would not refuse, and said with a smile:

"Of course you can. Nine-Hearted Begonia Soul Masters are extremely rare, and their healing abilities are very strong. Everyone would want to have a teammate like this."

"However, Mr. Qin will definitely not let us go easily. Your eldest brother's departure has already caused him a headache. If the two of us leave again, the Royal Fighting Team can be announced to be disbanded."

Dugu Yan frowned, looking worried, her delicate brows wrinkled, as if a flaw appeared on a beautiful painting.

"Don't think too much. These are not things we should worry about. Let's go and explain this to your teacher Qin now."

Yu Tianyun took Dugu Yan's hand and gave her strength. His broad and warm palm seemed like a safe haven.

"Ah."

Duguyan nodded, stood up with Yu Tianyun, and walked hand in hand towards Qin Ming. The sunlight shone through the mottled leaves, casting two slender and interdependent shadows.

Soon the two returned to the training ground of the Royal Fighting Team. At this time, Qin Ming was still instructing several people in their practice.

Dugu Yan ran directly to Ye Lingling and told her what she was thinking. Ye Lingling was reluctant to leave Tiandou Royal Academy. After all, she had studied here for many years and was familiar with every tree and grass here. She would not be used to going to an unfamiliar environment.

But she was even more reluctant to part with Dugu Yan, who was her only friend. After a little hesitation, she nodded and agreed.
