Douluo Amon: I am the Heavenly Venerable of the Dragon King.

Chapter 526 Cooperation

Level 53!

I have finally become the Soul King!

At this moment, Yun Ming couldn't help but feel an urge to burst into tears. With his cultivation speed, reaching level fifty wouldn't have been difficult, but unfortunately, Leng Yulai was constantly watching him.

First, she used a soul tool to limit his cultivation speed, and then she tried to seduce him with her beauty, attempting to make him give up cultivation and indulge in desire.

It's only because his Dao heart is firm; otherwise, anyone else would probably have given up on themselves long ago and ended up in Leng Yulai's arms.

"Beep beep—" At this moment, Qian Gu Qingfeng's soul communication device suddenly rang. He took it out and saw that it was Leng Yaozhu calling.

"It's Ms. Leng Yaozhu..." Qian Gu Qingfeng quickly connected the communication and started talking with Leng Yaozhu. They finally agreed on a location and then hung up the soul guide communicator.

"Do you want to lie down by yourself, or should I help you lie down?" Qian Gu Qing Feng asked Yun Ming.

"What do you mean?" Yun Ming looked at him in confusion.

"Leng Yaozhu is coming here to make a deal. Since you're going to live with her in the future, I think it's better for you to remain unconscious for now. After all, you don't want to watch yourself being traded, do you?" Qian Gu Qingfeng shrugged.

"That's true, then be gentle..."

"Okay." Before Yun Ming could finish speaking, Qian Gu Qing Feng delivered a chop to the neck.

"Damn it!" Yun Ming said to Qian Gu Qing Feng before he lost consciousness.

"I'm sorry, I don't have a younger sister," Qian Gu Qingfeng said without any remorse.

……

"Hmm."

When Yunming woke up again, the first thing he saw was a pink bed curtain.

Very well, no need to say more. I've probably already been sold to Leng Yaozhu by Qian Gu Qingfeng.

This feeling of buying and selling myself is really a bit strange.

Yun Xiang tried to sit up, but he inexplicably felt a heaviness in his body.

"No way!"

Yun Ming looked at the blanket covering him and noticed a strange bulge on the pink cotton blanket.

Yun Ming placed his hand on the blanket with trembling hands, then suddenly lifted a corner. The next moment, a glimpse of snow-white skin came into his view.

"Oh, it's just a rag doll!"

Yun Ming breathed a sigh of relief and took the white teddy bear off him. That's right, he had just assumed things.

Leng Yaozhu is a very reserved and introverted woman. How could she possibly be like Leng Yulai and directly share a bed with him?

"I wonder if this is the headquarters of the Spirit Pagoda?"

Yun Ming got out of bed. Fortunately, the clothes he got from Qian Gu Qing Feng yesterday were fine. Then, Yun Ming began to look around at the scenery.

"It's decorated with a bit of a girlish touch."

The walls of the room were painted a soft beige and covered with various paintings that resembled children's doodles. The simple watercolor paintings depicted cute little animals and blooming flowers with delicate brushstrokes, full of vitality and dynamism.

The only thing that made Yun Ming feel a little scared was that there was a huge portrait of Yun Ming hanging in one corner of the wall.

The portrait depicts a towering tree, at the top of which stands a young man. He is dressed in white with long hair and holds a spear. Just standing there, he seems to be the very center of the world.

In the center of the room, where Yun Ming had just been lying, stood a spacious four-poster bed. The bedposts were painted a light pink, adorned with tender green vines and dotted with tiny flowers.

The bed curtains cascaded down like a waterfall, embroidered with pink bows and delicate floral patterns, swaying gently in the breeze as if whispering secrets.

On the dressing table not far away, there are various cute jewelry boxes, some made of sparkling crystal and others made of ceramic with cartoon characters.

A ring of colorful LED strip lights wrapped around the mirror emitted a soft glow, illuminating the pearl-encrusted comb and several bottles of lightly scented perfume on the table.

The spot by the window is a small reading nook, with a pink armchair and a round pink footstool. Several fluffy plush toys—a bear, a rabbit, and a unicorn—are casually tossed on the sofa, their big eyes seeming to be guarding this little world.

The bookshelves next to it were filled with girls' comics, romance novels, and some exquisite hand-drawn books, their colorful spines looking especially beautiful in the sunlight.

A crystal chandelier hangs from the ceiling, its light refracting through the crystals and casting colorful shadows on the walls. In the corner sits a pot of pink succulents, their plump leaves adding a touch of life and vibrancy to the room.

"The room is decorated so warmly; it doesn't look like it was just haphazardly put together."

Yun Ming's gaze lingered on the dressing table for a moment. This must be Leng Yaozhu's room, otherwise why would there be so many women's items? It couldn't possibly be for him, could it? He chuckled.

Pushing open the door, Yun Ming walked into the hall outside. The living room was empty, but a strange fragrance wafted through the air.

"You're awake." At this moment, Leng Yaozhu walked out of the kitchen after hearing the sound, and smiled gently at Yun Ming, who was still in a daze in the living room. "I'm sure you have a lot of questions. Let's talk about them after we finish eating."

At this moment, Leng Yaozhu was wearing a long, form-fitting dress that perfectly outlined her shapely figure. A gentle smile graced her face, and her eyes, filled with affection, gazed at Yun Ming like a pool of spring water.

Faced with Leng Yaozhu's cold demeanor, Yun Ming couldn't refuse and could only nod, "Okay."

"Here, have some of this." At the dining table, Leng Yaozhu served Yun Ming dishes in a very intimate manner, a gesture that made Yun Ming feel slightly uncomfortable.

"Come on, how about trying this thousand-year-old red jade shrimp?"

Leng Yaozhu peeled a red jade shrimp with her own hands and then brought it to Yun Ming's mouth, looking at him expectantly. At this moment, she was completely different from the majestic and imposing Heavenly Phoenix Douluo, and instead resembled a passionate and tender young girl.

If Qian Gu Dongfeng were to see this scene, he would probably be so jealous that his face would twist in disbelief.

"Thank you." After hesitating for a moment, Yun Ming still chose to eat the red jade shrimp. As he ate the shrimp, Yun Ming's tongue involuntarily touched Leng Yaozhu's index finger, which was painted with red nail polish.

Leng Yaozhu's body trembled slightly, but she calmly withdrew her fingers and continued feeding Yun Ming.

After finishing her meal, Leng Yaozhu began to clear the table.

"Let me help you." After all, he had eaten a meal from Leng Yaozhu, so Yun Ming naturally didn't mind helping her with such a small thing.

"Mm." Leng Yaozhu didn't refuse, but just nodded silently.

The task of cleaning up was really just throwing the plates into the washing device in the kitchen; for the two of them, it was a quick and easy task.

In the living room, before Yun Ming could ask any questions, Leng Yaozhu spoke first, "Yun, you must have a lot of questions you want to ask me."

Yun Ming nodded, feigning ignorance, and asked, "That's right. I want to ask, who exactly are you? Why do you look so much like Yu Lai, and why did you fight with her?"

"Yu Lai?" Leng Yaozhu uttered her sister's name with some difficulty. Yun Ming was now pronouncing his sister's name so naturally; it seemed he had truly forgotten many things.

"Yu Lai is my younger sister, and I am her older sister, Leng Yaozhu. You probably can't tell from our similar appearances, right?" Leng Yaozhu smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Mm." Yun Ming nodded silently.

A glint of shrewdness flashed in Leng Yaozhu's eyes. "Yun, before I tell you the whole story, I want to know how much you know about your past, and what exactly happened between you and Yu Lai?"

Seeing Yun Ming's hesitant expression, Leng Yaozhu quickly said, "Yun, this is very important. After all, I also need to understand how well you understand your own situation before deciding where to start explaining."

"Alright." Yun Ming hesitated for a moment, but decided to be honest. "Actually, I don't know much about my own situation. I woke up in my hotel room and then I saw Yu Lai..."

Yun Ming briefly recounted his situation after waking up in the hotel, as well as what Leng Yulai told him: that he and Leng Yulai were husband and wife, that he had lost his memory and cultivation due to being ambushed, and that the two of them had merged into one in an accident, and so on.

"Hiss~" Leng Yaozhu gasped as she listened to Yun Ming's story. She never expected her younger sister to be so bold, and not only that, but she actually succeeded.

How enviable... how despicable! How could they deceive Yun Ming like this!

It's a bit of a pity. Judging from Yun Ming's current state, it's probably impossible to fool him again. I wonder if Mr. Q has any methods to make people lose their memories.

No, that's not right, Leng Yaozhu, what are you thinking? Even if you and Yun Ming aren't lovers, you're still close friends. How could you scheme against him like this!

"Ms. Leng Yaozhu, Ms. Leng Yaozhu!" Looking at Leng Yaozhu who was lost in thought, Yun Ming couldn't help but wave his hand in front of her.

"Ah? Sorry, I was a little distracted just now." Leng Yaozhu quickly came back to her senses and said, "Also, just call me Yaozhu."

"Huh?" Yun Ming was taken aback, and stammered, "Isn't this inappropriate?"

"What's wrong with that? That's what you used to call me." Leng Yaozhu's tone became somewhat firm.

In fact, Yun Ming used to address her at most as His Majesty the Heavenly Phoenix or Lady Yao Zhu, but that was in the past, not now.

"Then, Yaozhu?"

"Hmm." A smile involuntarily crept onto Leng Yaozhu's lips.

"Yaozhu, now can you tell me what exactly happened between you and Yulai? And how did you two end up fighting?"

Ah, let me think about it first!

Leng Yaozhu began to organize her thoughts, and then said, "Yun, first of all, Yu Lai didn't lie to you; you were indeed ambushed and seriously injured. But the difference is, Yu Lai isn't your wife. The story goes like this..."

Leng Yaozhu recounted her carefully crafted words to Yun Ming, omitting the fact that Yun Ming was the strongest warrior on the continent, Qingtian Douluo, and also not mentioning Ya Li's situation. She only spoke of how she and her sister had secretly admired Yun Ming.

Then, due to some misunderstandings, the sisters broke up. She had always wanted to bring her younger sister back to the family, but her sister always resisted fiercely. Not long ago, when Yunming was ambushed and seriously injured, her younger sister happened to be passing by and picked her up, which led to a series of subsequent changes.

Leng Yaozhu chose to conceal the fact that Leng Yulai was also involved in the attack on Yunming, because after all, she was her younger sister.

During the narration, Leng Yaozhu selectively revealed some facts while concealing others. She did not want to deceive Yun Ming, so she chose a narrative style that was seven parts truth, one part falsehood, and two parts concealment.

"Is that so?" Yun Ming lowered his head slightly, lost in thought, and remained silent for a long time.

Leng Yaozhu tentatively asked, "Yun, what are your plans next?"

"Hmm." Yun Ming nodded and said, "I want to go out and explore first, try to recover my strength as soon as possible, and also see if I can regain my memories."

"No." Leng Yaozhu instinctively rejected the idea, but after seeing Yun Ming's questioning yet wary gaze, she began to organize her thoughts.

"Yun, didn't Yu Lai say before that you were ambushed and seriously injured? She really didn't lie to you about that."

"If you actually show up outside now, all your old enemies will definitely come after you. They are a group of ruthless villains who would rather kill a thousand innocent people than let one guilty person go free."

Seeing Yun Ming lost in thought, Leng Yaozhu pressed her advantage, saying, "Besides, even if you went outside now, you wouldn't know anyone or anything. Where could you go? And don't you want to find Yu Lai and talk to her face to face?"

Upon hearing Leng Yulai's name, Yun Ming's expression changed, and he looked intently at Leng Yaozhu, saying, "You have a way to find Yulai?"

It seems that his younger sister has really left a deep impression on Yun Ming.

Leng Yaozhu felt a pang of pain in her heart, but still said, "That's right. Yu Lai likes you, so she will definitely come looking for you. But you're not as strong as her, and even if you do find her, she might not answer your questions. So, let's cooperate."

"Cooperation?" Yun Ming looked at Leng Yaozhu with some doubt.

"That's right." Leng Yaozhu gently tucked a strand of hair that fell to her chest and offered a suggestion, "You help me lure Yu Lai out, and then I'll capture her and bring her back to the Leng family so you can have a one-on-one talk with her. How about that?"

As if afraid that Yun Ming would overthink things, Leng Yaozhu quickly said, "I am willing to swear on my martial soul that I will never harm Yu Lai."

Yun Ming finally nodded and said, "I believe you."

"That's good. You can stay here for now. But if you need to go out, you should let me know first so I can do your makeup and you won't attract attention when you're out."

"Okay." Yun Ming nodded.

Seeing that Yun Ming had finally agreed to her proposal, Leng Yaozhu was secretly delighted.
