Douluo Sharingan, I really didn't coerce Xiao Wu!

Chapter 177 Returning to the Heavenly Dou Realm

Having gone through life and death together, sharing hardships and experiencing many things, the two finally escaped on this giant bird, soaring through the brilliant starry sky and enjoying the scenery.

It can be said that their relationship has been gradually improving, and now they are very close and can trust each other.

Time passes, day and night alternate, and the morning sun rises from the east, its warm rays shining on the earth.

After a night of flying, the large black bird carried the two across the rocky terrain and flew two or three hundred miles away.

Xiao Wu slept soundly until the morning when she was awakened by the bright sunlight; she had slept so comfortably last night.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes as she woke up. In her drowsy state, she touched something soft, which startled her, and she immediately opened her eyes.

Xiao Wu's body stiffened, and her head felt buzzing. What was wrong with her? How did she end up sitting on Chen Xuan?

Her face flushed instantly. Judging from the situation, it seemed that she had...slept on top of this lecherous man all night.

"You're awake?" Chen Xuan asked, looking at her gently.

He woke up when morning came, but didn't get up because his whole arm was pinned down. He wanted to pull it out, but he was afraid of waking Xiao Wu, so he thought it best to let her sleep a little longer.

After sleeping for an extra hour or two, the child's mother finally woke up.

Xiao Wu blushed and quickly moved away from the other person, straightening her clothes, because she had also noticed that she had slept against this guy's chest all night.

"It's nothing, you don't snore when you sleep, you just drooled a little," Chen Xuan joked with a smile, defusing her embarrassment.

"You're the one who snores! I'm a fairy, I never snore when I sleep!" Xiao Wu glared at him, her face slightly red. Who talks to a girl like that?

As if remembering something, she quickly added, "I don't drool!"

"Not drooling? Then why is my chest wet?" Chen Xuan stood up, then paused, realizing there were indeed some wet patches on his chest. He wiped them with his hand, and it seemed to be drool.

Xiao Wu blushed, feeling incredibly embarrassed.

"What are you looking at? Stop looking! There's a lot of cold air up there, this is dew, don't you know that?!" She pretended to be angry, trying to argue her point.

Clearly, this explanation is hard to believe.

Chen Xuan naturally didn't believe it, but he didn't delve into the matter further, wanting to save face for the child's mother.

When they reached a river, the giant black bird landed and found a shady spot to rest and replenish its strength. Although it was a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, it had flown all night and was almost at its limit.

Chen Xuan went down to the river and was a little hungry, so he caught some fish and shrimp to satisfy his hunger. He couldn't let Xiao Wu go hungry.

Although he didn't know how to fish, he had some knowledge of lightning ninjutsu. When he pushed Chidori Stream underwater, the electric arcs crackled and went deep into the riverbed.

Before long, more than thirty plump fish emerged from the water, belly up.

Lacking tools in the wild, Chen Xuan could only cook a grilled fish. As for the remaining fish, he fed it all to the big bird so that it could replenish its energy.

"Chen Xuan, don't be so relaxed. It'll be troublesome if those people catch up with you," Xiao Wu said, her face showing some anxiety.

Chen Xuan shook his head and smiled, trying to soothe her anxious feelings and tell her not to worry.

"Don't worry, this big bird flies quite fast. It flew two or three hundred miles last night. The people from the Spirit Hall might not be able to catch up with it so quickly."

This place is 500 miles away from Wuhun City, a vast area, making the search for someone as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.

Chen Xuan's eyes narrowed, and he guessed, "If those people wanted to chase us, they would have already come. Why is it so quiet?"

He knew very well that the Spirit Hall was mostly composed of strategists and wouldn't be foolish enough to follow their trail, wasting time and effort without even finding them.

Ahead lies the desert, and beyond that lies the territory of the Heavenly Dou Empire, only a few hundred miles from the Star Dou Great Forest.

Chen Xuan had a premonition that the area within a hundred miles outside the Star Dou Great Forest was probably teeming with spies from the Spirit Hall, making it difficult to remain undetected.

Xiao Wu told me, "As long as I get close to the Star Dou Great Forest, Da Ming and Er Ming will be able to sense my presence, and they will definitely come out to find me."

At that time, she and Chen Xuan will be safe. One Titan Giant Ape will be enough to wipe out all the Spirit Hall's pursuers.

Chen Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much less pressure. If those two 100,000-year-old soul beasts were to help, he wouldn't have to worry about this trip.

However, the road ahead is bound to be fraught with ambushes; it won't be so easy to get through.

After resting, the giant black bird regained much of its strength. Chen Xuan carried Xiao Wu onto its back, and the bird flapped its wings and soared into the sky, continuing its journey towards the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Chen Xuan, what do you think our relationship is now?" Xiao Wu suddenly muttered from the bird's back.

Having gone through life-and-death ordeals, the two grew much closer. She was touched by this bastard and was willing to open her heart to him.

"We're already like this, and we have a child, so naturally I'll marry you." Chen Xuan sat behind Xiao Wu, gently putting his arms around her waist, which had become a little plump, and she didn't resist.

He felt that since they already had a child together, it wouldn't be bad to get married and have children in Douluo Continent. Why should he raise the child like a neighbor's uncle?

"You wish! You're far from being able to marry me!" Xiao Wu said coquettishly, giving Chen Xuan a disgruntled look.

If this bastard hadn't defiled her, she would still be a virgin. Now he wants to marry her, but he won't let this scoundrel get his way so easily.

Chen Xuan was quite helpless; nothing worked out. He said, "Then tell me what kind of relationship it is."

"snort!"

Xiao Wu gave a coquettish snort and said, "Given your recent good performance and meritorious service in protecting your master, this old lady can associate with you. As for wanting me to marry you, that depends on your future performance. If you perform well within a year, this old lady can consider it."

Chen Xuan's lips twitched. This was such a familiar tactic. Wasn't this just empty promises?

"What, you're not satisfied?" Xiao Wu frowned slightly, turned her head and glared at him.

Chen Xuan waved his hand in acquiescence, saying that the pregnant woman was the most important person to respect, and he dared not have any objections.

"Hmph, I knew you wouldn't dare!" Xiao Wu said coquettishly, but she was quite happy inside. She didn't think Chen Xuan was weak at all; on the contrary, she was very satisfied with his yielding attitude.

My mother once said that a man who is stronger than her but always yields to her and pampers her is not lacking in masculinity, but rather a sign of his love for her.

And so, the two of them continued to fly high in the sky like a giant bird, and before they knew it, a day had passed.

This journey took a full ten hours, crossing deserts, mountains, rivers, and other places, covering a distance of 1,200 miles, before finally approaching the Heavenly Dou Empire.

"Let's go down and take a look." Chen Xuan patted the bird's back, gesturing for it to land.

The desert region stretches as far as the eye can see, with endless yellow sand and unbearably dry conditions. Now, we can finally see some green vegetation, and the air has become much fresher.

As they passed through the grassland, the giant black bird flapped its wings and landed at a stream to drink.

Chen Xuan ate some dry rations, sat cross-legged, and began cultivating to restore his soul power and physical strength to their best state.

The journey has been far too smooth; we haven't encountered any danger at all, which is highly unusual.

Either they were too fast for the Spirit Hall personnel to keep up with, or their initial target was the area near the Star Dou Great Forest.

Chen Xuan leaned more towards the second possibility: the Spirit Hall was powerful, and since they could travel by riding spirit beasts, why couldn't those people do the same?

The journey had been too safe, and instead of feeling fortunate, he sensed an endless sense of danger lurking in the shadows, making it difficult to feel at ease.

The previous encounters were just minor skirmishes; what's coming next is a major battle, extremely dangerous, and could be fatal at any moment.

Currently, Chen Xuan has made ample preparations, perfecting certain ninjutsu techniques, and has also become quite familiar with the third power of the Mangekyou Sharingan.

This time, he did everything in his power, but he didn't know if he could ensure Xiao Wu's safety.

"If only I could enter the Red Earth Small World again, that plant would be of great use to me."
