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

Chapter 577 Watching a Movie with Leng Yaozhu

In the central part of Douluo Continent, in Tianling City.

Tianling City is one of the well-known second-tier cities in central China. It not only boasts a variety of interesting attractions that make people linger, but also has become a famous destination for couples to take photos due to its romantic atmosphere.

Inside an elegantly decorated clothing store on the bustling commercial street of Tianling City, soft light streamed through the tall shop windows, casting a veil of light on rows of exquisite garments, making each piece seem to come alive.

It exudes a captivating brilliance under the interplay of light and shadow, creating a warm and tranquil atmosphere, as if shutting out the hustle and bustle of the outside world.

Leng Yaozhu and Yun Ming walked into the store side by side. Leng Yaozhu, like a nimble elf, moved among the dazzling array of clothes, her eyes sparkling with a keen eye for beauty. Suddenly, her gaze was drawn to a white dress, and she stopped in her tracks.

Leng Yaozhu gently reached out and picked up the dress, her eyes full of anticipation, and asked softly, "Yun, does this dress look good?"

As she spoke, she turned slightly to the side, holding the clothes up to Yun Ming's face, a barely perceptible hint of nervousness flashing in her eyes. Her gaze lingered on Yun Ming's face for a moment, hoping to find approval and appreciation in his eyes.

Yun Ming stood there, his posture as upright as a pine tree, his deep eyes reflecting the clothes in Leng Yaozhu's hands and her expectant face.

A moment later, Yun Ming's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile, and he said softly, "Hmm. Yao Zhu, this outfit suits you very well."

It was just a simple compliment, but because it came from Yun Ming's mouth, it took on a different meaning.

A slight blush rose on Leng Yaozhu's cheeks, a blush as beautiful and captivating as the sunset.

She said softly, "Really? I also think this dress is very beautiful, but I'm worried that it might not suit me. Could you please take a look and see how it looks overall?"

Leng Yaozhu's voice carried a hint of shyness and coquettishness, as if a little girl was seeking help and support from her lover.

Yun Ming smiled and nodded, saying, "Of course."

Filled with nervousness and anticipation, Leng Yaozhu took the clothes and walked into the fitting room. The door slowly closed, temporarily separating her from the outside world.

Leng Yaozhu's heart raced slightly, and her fingers trembled as she unbuttoned her clothes and slowly put on the dress.

After putting on the dress, Leng Yaozhu stood in front of the mirror and began to carefully straighten the wrinkles in the clothes. Her gaze was fixed on herself in the mirror, her eyes filled with sweetness and shyness.

This dress seemed to be custom-made for her by God, perfectly fitting her figure and showcasing every one of her strengths.

Looking back on the nearly six months she had spent with Yun Ming, Leng Yaozhu felt a mix of emotions. It wasn't that she didn't have other thoughts; whenever she was alone with Yun Ming, a strange feeling would always well up deep within her.

However, every time she wanted to take action, her inner shyness acted like an invisible high wall, firmly blocking her way and preventing her from ever crossing the line.

At times like these, she would unconsciously think of her younger sister, Leng Yulai. Her sister had a free-spirited and passionate personality, like a burning flame; when she wanted something, she would always take the initiative without hesitation.

When her younger sister fell in love with Yun Ming, she boldly and proactively expressed her love. Leng Yaozhu was both envious and somewhat ashamed of her own courage and passion.

As for herself, as the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo, the deputy tower master of the Spirit Pagoda, and the current patriarch of the Leng family with a history of over a thousand years, she is always able to remain calm and composed when facing other matters, such as the future planning of the Spirit Pagoda and negotiations with other forces.

Even when facing a powerful figure like Chen Xinjie, the Vast Ocean Douluo, she could communicate with him calmly and confidently, displaying her poise and demeanor in her words.

But when it comes to matters of the heart, she is always somewhat timid. Take, for example, the tonics she prepared for Yun Ming. She meticulously prepared them according to the nutritional ratio, carefully considering every ingredient and every medicinal herb.

Take whale gelatin as an example. It is an extremely precious and difficult-to-process ingredient. Because whale gelatin is too yang in nature, it usually needs to be boiled with an equal amount of yin-natured herbs to perfectly remove its side effects.

Once, when Leng Yaozhu was preparing whale glue for Yun Ming, a different thought arose in her mind. She secretly reduced the proportion of yin herbs, hoping to make Yun Ming take the initiative to show her some affection. However, in the end, she still softened her heart.

If the whale gelatin is normal and has no side effects, its ratio with yin-type herbs is 50:50.

The amount of food Leng Yaozhu gave Yun Ming was at most 55:45.

The whale glue that Leng Yulai fed Yun Ming was completely unrefined, 100% pure whale glue. This subtle difference also reflects the personality differences between the two sisters.

Despite the lack of any substantial progress in her relationship with Yun Ming, Leng Yaozhu was filled with happiness. In her eyes, the time she spent with Yun Ming was undoubtedly one of the happiest moments in her long life.

Outside the fitting room, Yun Ming waited quietly. His thoughts drifted back to the past. Ever since Leng Yaozhu brought him back to the Spirit Pagoda, he had embarked on his cultivation journey.

Leng Yaozhu was extremely attentive to his cultivation, as if he were the most important part of her life.

She generously provided Yun Ming with all sorts of rare and precious natural treasures that could strengthen his bones and muscles, as well as the meat of rare soul beasts, to fully assist him in recovering his cultivation.

In just six months, with Leng Yaozhu's meticulous care and resource support, Yun Ming's cultivation level soared from level 55 to level 75.

This rapid improvement is largely due to the advantages of rebuilding. As long as there is enough energy, Yun Ming's cultivation speed can far exceed that of ordinary people.

Of course, Leng Yaozhu didn't place no restrictions on Yun Ming. She had a frank conversation with Yun Ming, hoping that when he was at the Spirit Pagoda headquarters, he would stay in the area where she lived as much as possible and not wander around casually, so as not to be seen by outsiders.

After all, the current master of the Spirit Pagoda was once one of Yun Ming's rivals, and Leng Yaozhu was worried that Yun Ming might encounter misfortune if he went out rashly before his cultivation was fully restored.

Yun Ming knew Leng Yaozhu's good intentions, so he obediently agreed to her request.

Of course, to keep Yun Ming from getting bored, Leng Yaozhu would set aside several days each month to carefully disguise Yun Ming and then secretly take him away from the Spirit Pagoda headquarters to travel to other cities.

She euphemistically called this "the path of cultivation requires a balance between work and rest, otherwise problems can easily arise."

Of course, there was another reason: to lure out her sister, Leng Yulai.

This was the reason Leng Yaozhu gave Yun Ming: Leng Yulai had caused a huge disturbance at the Spirit Pagoda headquarters half a year ago, and then disappeared without a trace. After causing such a big incident, her sister would certainly not easily return to the Spirit Pagoda headquarters.

So, she and Yun Ming pretended to be a couple and enjoyed themselves. Knowing her sister's personality, she knew that upon seeing her and Yun Ming, her sister would definitely lose control of her emotions and make a move. At that time, she could seize the opportunity to capture her sister.

Putting everything else aside, Leng Yaozhu was at least quite satisfied with her own explanation.

When Yun Ming asked how her sister knew she had taken him out for a trip, Leng Yaozhu confidently stated that even though she and her sister had some minor conflicts, the unspoken understanding between the sisters still existed.

If you don't encounter it on your first outing, it's just that the timing isn't right. Try again a few more times, and you'll eventually run into it. If this city doesn't work out, try another.

Yun Ming didn't refute Leng Yaozhu's seemingly flawed statement; he simply nodded silently. After all, he had seen how good Leng Yaozhu had been to him.

Moreover, Leng Yaozhu always behaved properly during their time together, and the most intimate thing they did was hold hands.

Yun Ming was extremely satisfied with this just-right way of getting along. In this way, he could devote himself to cultivation without being distracted by other trivial matters.

Just then, the fitting room door slowly opened, and Leng Yaozhu, dressed in that white dress, walked out gracefully, like a fairy descended from heaven. The pure white dress accentuated her snow-white, translucent skin, and the hem of the dress swayed gently with each step she took, like a dancing sprite, exuding a dreamlike aura.

Yun Ming's gaze was instantly drawn to it, and a hint of amazement and admiration flashed in his eyes.

Today's Leng Yaozhu is indeed somewhat different. If Yun Ming's impression of Leng Yaozhu when Shrek Academy still existed was that of a fiery, passionate yet charming strong woman.

So, Leng Yaozhu now resembles tranquil moonlight, gentle and graceful.

Leng Yaozhu asked somewhat shyly, "Yun, what do you think? Is it really pretty?"

Yun Ming stepped forward, carefully examining Leng Yaozhu with focused attention, and then said earnestly, "Hmm, it looks great. The style and color of this dress suit you very well."

Hearing Yun Ming's words, Leng Yaozhu was filled with joy and sweetness, and a bright smile bloomed on her face, like a flower in spring. She said, "That's good. I was worried it wouldn't look good. Since you think it looks good, then I'll buy it."

"Mm." Yun Ming nodded with a smile.

The two walked to the cashier, and Yun Ming took out his wallet to pay. This money was something Leng Yaozhu had insisted on giving him earlier, saying that men should always carry more cash when they go out.

Every time they went shopping, Leng Yaozhu would ask Yun Ming to pay for her. Although the money originally came from Leng Yaozhu, a happy smile would always bloom on her face whenever she saw Yun Ming paying.

After buying the clothes, Leng Yaozhu naturally took Yun Ming's hand and walked out of the clothing store with him. Yun Ming naturally returned the handshake, which pleased Leng Yaozhu slightly.

The two strolled along the commercial street, admiring the surrounding scenery. Leng Yaozhu was in an exceptionally pleasant mood; she felt as if she had truly become Yun Ming's lover, enjoying this rare and tender moment.

"Yun, I heard that a new movie called 'Little Huo Flying Dagger' will be showing at the cinema in Tianling City today. Are you interested in going to see it?" Leng Yaozhu tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and asked softly.

"Little Huo Flying Dagger?"

"Hmm." Leng Yaozhu nodded. "It's a movie made to pay homage to the Spirit Ice Douluo from ten thousand years ago. I heard the level of accuracy is quite high."

"If you want to see it, Haruka, then let's go see it."

Leng Yaozhu's eyes lit up, and she immediately took Yun Ming's arm and walked towards the movie theater. "Okay, let's go see it then."

Leng Yaozhu wasn't particularly interested in movies. However, going to the movies with Yun Ming would be a different story. Going to the movies together was usually something couples did.

Leng Yaozhu had read about this in dating guides, and she had always wanted to experience this feeling. Even though she and Yun Ming were pretending to be a couple, she still wanted to enjoy the process as much as possible.

"Yun, I'll go buy the tickets first. You wait for me here," Leng Yaozhu said, releasing her grip on Yun Ming's hand.

"Okay." Yun Ming nodded, then walked to the sofa in the rest area to wait.

As you can see, there are still many people waiting in the rest area for the movie to start.

On the coffee table were several posters, seemingly introducing the latest movies showing in the cinema. Yun Ming picked up one of the posters out of curiosity.

The cover image above features the movie "Little Huo Flying Dagger," which Leng Yaozhu took him to see. Although the movie sounds like an action film, it's actually a romance.

The story revolves around the evil Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, Di Tian, ​​who kidnaps Tang Wutong, the wife of Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao. In the end, Huo Yuhao goes through countless hardships, comprehends his self-created soul skill "Little Huo Flying Dagger," defeats the evil Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, and rescues Tang Wutong.

Yes, it has the feel of Douluo Continent, and it's also very good at attracting attention. After all, the most famous story in the entire Douluo Continent is nothing more than the love story between Tang San and Huo Yuhao.

Especially at a time when the Spirit Pagoda is developing rapidly and the Tang Sect is declining, this movie can definitely help the Spirit Pagoda get another wave of publicity.

"Hey beautiful, are you coming alone? We're a few guys feeling a bit lonely, how about you come with us to a movie, and then we can go out and have some fun afterwards? I guarantee you'll experience a thrill you've never felt before."

At that moment, a frivolous voice rang out, and Yun Ming subconsciously raised his head and looked in the direction from which the voice came.

Five young men, who looked to be in their twenties, were surrounding a woman. The men had their chests exposed, revealing tattoos on their arms and chests. They looked menacing and were clearly not good people.

The people waiting for the movie to start around them instinctively showed disgust when they saw these young men, but they didn't say anything, clearly not wanting to get into trouble.

"There really are thugs everywhere!" Yun Ming shook his head, not wanting to meddle in other people's business.

This doesn't mean he didn't want to help, but rather that he sensed subtle fluctuations of soul power emanating from the woman, indicating she was a Soul Master, and an extremely powerful one at that.
