Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 108 Winter
The twelfth lunar month of winter.

The entire manor was covered with white snow, and it looked like a vast expanse of white wherever you looked.

Deep in the manor, in a wooden house.

The wind outside was freezing, making the glass windows whistle, but the indoor heating was burning brightly, making the whole house warm as spring.

The sofa was covered with a thick blanket. Lin Rong sat on the sofa and drank ginger tea comfortably, keeping an eye on the Nine-Curved Wing Dragon playing in the snow outside the house.

"Banyan trees are not cold-resistant. My martial soul, apart from the dragon soul, is not cold-resistant compared to other top-level plant-based martial souls."

"As a martial spirit owner, I am also afraid of the cold. I just played snowballs with Xiaoqing for a while and I felt too cold to bear it."

Although he could use his soul power to isolate himself from the cold outside, it would be meaningless if he didn't feel cold at all while having a snowball fight.

If the Blue Silver Forest was not in the south-central part of the Tiandou Empire, where the climate was relatively warm, Lin Rong would have wanted to wait until spring to obtain the sixth soul ring.

The old housekeeper sat beside Lin Rong, brewing tea on the stove while asking in a gentle tone:
"Young Master, the heavy snow has blocked the road today, and the carriage can hardly pass."

"Moreover, according to the weather trends in previous winters, this heavy snow will probably continue to fall for several days. We won't be able to take a carriage out of the city in the next few days."

"Look, should we wait until the snow stops and then set out in the carriage, or should we just set out alone, master and servant?"

Lin Rong listened, drank the ginger tea, handed the porcelain bowl in his hand to the old housekeeper sitting beside him, and said softly:
"Grandpa Yu, it's just the two of us. It's winter, so it would be good for the driver to rest at home."

"For the two of us, Xiaoqing can take us flying. It's not only convenient to go back and forth, but it's also much faster than taking a carriage."

The old butler listened to the young master's words, filled the porcelain bowl in his hand with ginger tea for 70%, then handed the bowl to Lin Rong who was sitting beside him with both hands and replied:
"In that case, young master, I will take care of some trivial matters in the mansion first. After that, we can set off at any time."

Lin Rong took the porcelain bowl of ginger tea, nodded and said:

"Well, Grandpa Yu, go ahead. I'll wait for you."

After watching the old housekeeper's back disappear in the snow, Lin Rong stood by the window and turned his gaze to the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon that was having a lot of fun outdoors.

Outside the house, the Nine-bend Vine Dragon, which was making a snowman with great enthusiasm, suddenly sensed the gaze of its owner and looked back.

Jiuqu Tenglong and Lin Rong were in tune with each other, and instantly understood the meaning of the look in their master's eyes:
"Okay, stop playing and go back to the house."

So, the Nine-bend Vine Dragon left the unfinished snowman reluctantly with an unsatisfied expression and returned to the house obediently.

After returning to the house, the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon shrank into a mini form and hovered on Lin Rong's left wrist, and the touch of cold dragon scales followed.

"Oh my god, don't you know I'm afraid of the cold?"

Lin Rong quickly put his left wrist close to the stove to warm it up and said:
"Next time you play in the snow, remember to warm yourself up by the fire."

While the old housekeeper was dealing with trivial matters in the mansion, Lin Rong drank ginger tea from a porcelain bowl and sorted out some of the things that had happened in the past three months in his mind.

First, let’s go to Shrek Academy.

Flanders somehow convinced Yu Xiaogang to lead Shrek's teachers and students to leave the Barak Kingdom and travel thousands of miles to Tiandou City to find the Blue Tyrant Academy.

According to the news sent back by Shi Nian, after meeting Liu Erlong, Yu Xiaogang missed Bibi Dong even more in his nightmare for some reason.

Lin Rong could probably guess some of the reasons for this.

Although Liu Erlong deeply loves Yu Xiaogang, she shows a strong possessiveness and often quarrels with Yu Xiaogang due to her hot temper. Bibi Dong is different. Before she experienced the secret room incident, her mind is as pure as a blank sheet of paper, her personality is gentle and peaceful, and she is more considerate.

It can be said that during the time when Yu Xiaogang was in his first love, Bibi Dong was a perfect and eloquent flower in his heart, who always put him at the center of everything and considered him.

The nightmare at that time aroused Yu Xiaogang's deep longing for Bibidong.

Therefore, after seeing Liu Erlong, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but compare the Liu Erlong at this time with the Bibi Dong in his memory.

This comparison instantly revealed the difference between the two, and further aroused Yu Xiaogang's longing for Bibidong.

Follow this trend.

In another year or so, Yu Xiaogang would probably no longer be able to suppress his longing for Bibi Dong and would run to Wuhun City to find his former first love and ask her about the truth of the past.

At that time, the deeper Bibi Dong's love for Yu Xiaogang, the more difficult it will be for her to pass the Nine Tests of Rakshasa.

As for how long the time of becoming a god can be delayed, it depends on how much Bibi Dong loves Yu Xiaogang.

In addition, after Yu Xiaogang came to Tiandou City, he learned that his idol's son Tang San was not only here, but also had a talent for cultivation and was born with full soul power. He immediately had the idea of ​​taking him in as a disciple.

With the blue silver grass and the innate full soul power, in his understanding, Tang San must have two-handed martial spirits. As the son of Tang Hao, the other martial spirit must be the Clear Sky Hammer.

Such talent made Dai Mubai, a disciple he was originally satisfied with, suddenly dislike him.

Yu Xiaogang felt that Dai Mubai's talent was too low. Why would he accept such a mediocre person as his disciple?

Especially when he learned from some unknown channel that Tang San had broken through to level 30 when he was less than eleven years old, this idea in his mind instantly reached its peak.

In this way, Yu Xiaogang visited the Tang Sect as the chief teacher of Lan Ba ​​Academy. Relying on the fact that Tai Long was a student of Lan Ba ​​Academy, he successfully met the leader of the Tang Sect, Tang San, through this channel.

Yu Xiaogang thought it would be easy to convince an eleven-year-old child with his invincible theory, but things did not develop as he expected.

Today's Tang San is no longer the clueless rookie in the spirit master world in the original novel, who could be fooled by a few seemingly profound words.

For some unknown reasons, Tang San patiently listened to Yu Xiaogang's long speech. When Yu Xiaogang proposed to accept him as a disciple, he rejected him unceremoniously and expelled him from the Tang Sect.

The news that Yu Xiaogang came to the Tang Sect's leader to take him as his disciple spread throughout Tiandou City in just a few days, thanks to the instigation of some people with ulterior motives, and became a topic of conversation among both common people and nobles after dinner.

After learning about this, Dai Mubai had a fierce quarrel with Yu Xiaogang. In the end, due to many unavoidable reasons, the teacher and student reached a reconciliation.

The most direct and important reason is that Yu Xiaogang has no better choice, and Dai Mubai's identity does not allow him to fail.

The teacher and the student had a grudge against each other, but because of their own reasons, they were forced to continue to create the illusion of friendship between teacher and student.

And on the Tang Sect's side.

After going through all these things, especially what happened at the funeral, the status of the Tang Clan is no longer as high as before.

Except for the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect's orders for hidden weapons, which remained unchanged, the volume of scattered orders from other nobles in Tiandou City decreased by nearly 80%.

Tang San himself also realized once again the importance of his own strength.

Therefore, the hardworking Tang San simply let go of all the affairs of the Tang Sect and devoted himself fully to cultivation.
