Douluo: The Dragon King - I Planted the Divine Tree in Douluo.

Chapter 229 Meeting an Acquaintance (Part 1)

""

Seeing Dong Qianqiu looking like she was about to cry, Su Mo sighed helplessly. What was going on?

Fortunately, Su Mo already had experience dealing with this kind of thing.

Su Mo stood up and squatted down in front of Dong Qianqiu, reaching out to stroke Dong Qianqiu's smooth, long hair.

Then, like a gentle older brother next door, he softly comforted her, "You're too weak right now. Keeping you by my side will be good for you..."

Neither of these situations is good for me; they will only put both of us in danger.

"If you really want to stay by my side, you'll have to cultivate diligently and try to catch up with me as soon as possible."

After saying that, Su Mo gently brushed against Dong Qianqiu's straight nose.

"Um!"

After Su Mo unleashed a series of smooth and gentle combos, Dong Qianqiu nodded as if she understood.

Although she still didn't understand why staying would put both of them in danger.

But as long as Su Mo doesn't really want to abandon her, she can completely accept a temporary separation.

Seeing that Dong Qianqiu's expression had softened, Su Mo pinched Dong Qianqiu's plump and bouncy cheeks again, and started to promise her a bright future.

"Once you've cultivated to the level of a Soul Emperor, we can be together."

"real?"

Upon hearing Su Mo's promise, Dong Qianqiu's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Um!

'

Su Mo nodded seriously.

According to his estimation, by the time Dong Qianqiu cultivates to the Soul Emperor level, he will have already settled everything and can live a carefree life.

"Let's pinky swear!"

Without hesitation, Dong Qianqiu extended her little finger and looked at Su Mo with hopeful eyes.

"Pinky promise!"

Su Mo reached out and gently hooked his hand with Dong Qianqiu's.

"Pinky promise, for a hundred years, never to be broken!"

Dong Qianqiu's little face was tense as she read very seriously.

As the last word fell, a bright smile finally returned to Dong Qianqiu's face.

"Menma—I'll try my best!"

Dong Qianqiu clenched her small fists tightly, as if she were talking to Su Mo, or perhaps to herself.

Seeing this, Su Mo gently patted her head and teased, "That's a good girl."

"What are you two doing—?"

'

Hyotei's languid voice suddenly rang out.

Upon hearing Hyotei's voice, Tou Chiaki's smile froze instantly, and she turned around stiffly.

What should I do if I get caught seducing the man in front of Hyotei?

Wait online, hurry!

However, to Dong Qianqiu's surprise, Bingdi only glanced at the two of them before going to wash up.

He didn't say a word, not a single word from beginning to end.

Dong Qianqiu muttered to herself, "Could it be that Lord Hyotei has accepted me?"

After Hyotei finished washing up, Touka immediately brought out another breakfast from the kitchen and placed it on Hyotei's seat. She rubbed her hands together and said with a flattering look, "Hyotei-sama, please try it!"

Looking at Touka Chiaki, who was being so attentive to him, Hyotei was a little puzzled. "Why are you suddenly so sensible, little brat? Is there something you want me to do?"

Dong Qianqiu quickly waved her hand in denial, "No, no, it's what I should do."

Looking at Dong Qianqiu, who was acting mysteriously and refusing to reveal her purpose, Hyotei shook her head and said, "I really don't understand you—"

""

Then, under the hopeful gaze of Touka Chiaki, Hyotei tasted the breakfast that Touka Chiaki had made.

After taking a bite of the fragrant sandwich, Hyotei squinted his eyes happily, then gave Touka a thumbs-up and praised, "Not bad, it's exactly the same as Su Mo's."

"etc----"

Hyotei suddenly realized something was wrong and quickly moved closer to Touka, squinting as he scrutinized her.

"Chiaki, when did you learn to cook, you little brat?"

"This—this—"

Dong Qianqiu was so frightened by Hyotei's sudden change of expression that she turned pale and took a few steps back.

"Alright, stop scaring them!"

Seeing that Hyotei was trembling with fear, Su Mo lashed out with a chop to Hyotei's head.

Hyotei feigned pain, clutching her head and pouting pitifully, saying, "Su Mo, you've forgotten about the old one now that you have someone new, haven't you!"

Su Mo tapped Hyotei on the forehead with an annoyance, "Get out of here!"

"hey-hey!"

Seeing that he hadn't managed to fool Su Mo, Hyotei chuckled a few times and then started eating in silence.

Looking at Hyotei, who was completely ignoring her, Touka asked incredulously, "Lord Hyotei, don't you mind?"

While eating, Hyotei mumbled, "Mind about Sun Mo?"

"That's it—that's it—"

Dong Qianqiu nervously fiddled with her small hands, stammering as she tried to confess her feelings for Su Mo to Bingdi.

But every time I try to say something, I can't get a single word out.

Seeing that Touka's face was flushed red, Hyotei decided not to continue teasing her.

After finishing his breakfast in a few bites, Hyotei leaned against the table, propping his head up with one hand, and said nonchalantly, "Alright, I know what you're trying to say."

"Isn't what you really mean to say is that you like Su Mo and want to be with him?"

"To this, I can only say that this is a matter between the two of you, and has nothing to do with me."

"???"

Hearing Hyotei's extremely calm tone, Touka Chiaki could hardly believe her ears. "But Hyotei-sama, you and Menma aren't—"

Before Dong Qianqiu could finish speaking, Bingdi raised her hand to interrupt her, then pointed at Su Mo, "For now, we're both getting what we need!"

"I lust after his body, and he needs me to do things for him."

Even Hyotei herself couldn't quite explain what her feelings for Su Mo were.

However, Hyotei is certain of one thing: Su Mo occupies a very important place in her heart.

Even if the bloodline of the Ice Jade Scorpion clan continues in the future, she will definitely not leave Su Mo.

"!!!"

Upon hearing Hyotei's answer, Dong Qianqiu's eyes widened in disbelief. She never expected that Su Mo and Hyotei had such a relationship.

"Go wash the dishes!"

Seeing the stunned Dong Qianqiu, Hyotei pushed the plate aside and gave Dong Qianqiu an order.

"oh oh!"

Dong Qianqiu nodded as if waking from a dream, and quickly cleared the plates from the table to get to work.

Su Mo quickly stopped Dong Qianqiu, who was about to wash the dishes, "There's no rush, it's almost time!"

"Hyotei, take us to the undead demiplane."

"Who did you make plans with?"

"I'm practically an acquaintance of yours."

Su Mo answered without looking up.

"Someone I know by half?"

Hyotei muttered to himself, not understanding what Su Mo meant, but still obediently did as he was told.

As the surrounding environment spun around them, they entered the undead demiplane.

As soon as they entered the undead demiplane, Hyotei's gaze was drawn to the white figure.

When the white-clad figure turned around, Hyotei's pupils constricted sharply, and he exclaimed in surprise, "It's you!!!"

Not only Hyotei, but even Yuki-tei was surprised, never expecting the other party to appear here.
