Douluo Continent: Peerless Bei Bei, Light Dragon King

Chapter 71 Beibei: Little Brother Huo, let me teach you how to laugh, hehehe~

The rows of serrated dragon teeth released a burst of nine-colored light at the last moment before the gates closed.

A tremor, emanating from the depths of the soul and bloodline, flashed in the enormous eyes of the Thorn Dragon.

Then, life ceased instantly.

At the same time, at the entrance to the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Huff~ Huff huff~"

Young Huo Yuhao, hands on his knees, panting heavily, read the words on the wooden sign.

"Soul Beasts have appeared!"

"be safe!"

Huo Yuhao did not enter the Star Dou Great Forest immediately. In order to conserve his strength to hunt soul beasts, he went back to his old profession—Yuhao grilled fish!

Using the White Tiger Dagger, he carved a long wooden awl, rolled up his trousers, and went into the river.

It must be said that the super vision provided by the Spirit Eye Martial Soul is especially suitable for catching fish.

Unbeknownst to him, after absorbing the 100,000 spirit rings and the Thorn Dragon's left leg spirit bone, Bei Bei quietly arrived.

Instead of waiting passively, they chose to appear midway through the story, trying to stay as close as possible to the timeline and plot points of the original work.

ah~

Helpless, he wandered in the Star Dou Great Forest for a full six months, but he didn't see a single hair of either the fragments of Electrox's divine consciousness or the million-year-old soul beast, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

They didn't even see the auspicious imperial beasts that were known for their free-spirited nature and love of running around.

This shows the difference in treatment; the Chosen One is indeed treated very well!

Then, dragging the huge dragon corpse, he walked out of the shade of the forest, successfully attracting Huo Yuhao's attention.

The look in his eyes was one of surprise, caution, envy... and doubt.

What puzzled him was why the refined-looking older brother in front of him was walking towards him.

"Young man, can I borrow a light?" Beibei asked, pointing to the dragon corpse he was dragging.

Huo Yuhao swallowed hard, staring at the enormous dragon corpse, his eyes twitching.

"Okay, okay!"

Move the grilled fish stuck in the fire to the other side to make some space.

Beibei cut off the tenderloin of the thorn dragon, stuck it on the fire, and roasted it.

Sizzling with oil and exuding a rich aroma, the meat, brushed with a secret special sauce, is incredibly tempting.

"Glug, glug..."

Huo Yuhao, who hadn't had a proper meal in many days, kept swallowing his saliva, and suddenly the golden-brown grilled fish in his hand didn't seem so appetizing anymore.

"Here you are."

"Eat."

Looking at the grilled meat that Beibei offered with surprise, although a hint of "wanting" flashed in her eyes, she still pushed the grilled meat back.

"Big brother, I can't accept it."

"This is my payment for borrowing the light; it's not free."

There's a saying in my hometown: "Dragon meat in heaven, donkey meat on earth."

"Although the Thorn Dragon is a subspecies of dragon, it still tastes pretty good."

"It would be a real shame if you missed it."

The golden, crispy roasted meat was handed over again.

This time, Huo Yuhao did not refuse.

They took the grilled fish and began to enjoy it immensely.

After getting a little more acquainted, the two chatted casually.

"Brother Beibei, you're so handsome, and your smile is so charming. Don't you have a girlfriend?"

"Ah... well, I'm married, or more precisely, I have a fiancée."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao nodded knowingly: "That's right, someone as outstanding as Brother Beibei is bound to be preempted by someone else."

"Don't just say I have a nice smile. I've been chatting with you, Yuhao, for so long and I haven't seen you smile once."

"Young people, smile more."

"A cheerful disposition leads to good health."

Huo Yuhao looked gloomy, clearly still reeling from grief and anger; how could he possibly smile?

"If you don't know how to laugh, you can learn from me." Beibei didn't seem to intend to stop talking about it.

In the style of a supervising teacher, he burst out laughing: "Hehehe~"

Huo Yuhao: "???"

What kind of strange laughter is that?!

Seeing Beibei's enthusiastic guidance, he forced himself to laugh out loud: "Heh...heh heh..."

"How is it?"

"Is there a feeling of relaxation, joy, and the exhilarating satisfaction of having all the unpleasant things resolved?"

Huo Yuhao: "Hehehe~"

"Huh?!"

"It seems there really is!"

But why do I feel a sense of satisfaction, like I've finally gotten my revenge?

He shook his head, as if trying to shake the bewitching "heh heh" laugh out of his brain.

Unfortunately, not only did it not shake off the noise, it also made the strange "heh heh" laughter more even.

Having eaten and drunk his fill, he stood up, ready to say goodbye to Beibei.

Adhering to the principle of only speaking three-tenths of what you know to others and never revealing your whole heart, Huo Yuhao deliberately obscured his purpose.

Of course, this is useless.

"Little brother Yuhao... you're already at the entrance of the Star Dou Great Forest, and your soul power is stuck at the tenth level. If you're not going to hunt for soul rings, nobody's going!"

Huo Yuhao: "..."

"So, Brother Beibei, you mean...?"

"What I mean is, I can help you."

Huo Yuhao, being cautious and meticulous, did not believe that a complete stranger he had only known for half a day would be sent to hunt soul beasts in the dangerous Star Dou Great Forest.

Having a very clear understanding of her personality, Beibei naturally added her reasons:

"Of course, in exchange, you have to do me a favor and help me gather herbs."

After listening to Bei Bei's words, Huo Yuhao fell into a long silence.

He knew that following someone he had only known for half a day to help them gather herbs would definitely be dangerous.

But if he were to enter the Star Dou Great Forest alone to hunt soul beasts, not only would the possibility of failure be extremely high, but even if he succeeded, he would at most only get the first soul ring of the White Decade.

If things continue like this, how will he gain enough power? How will he take revenge? How will he destroy the entire White Tiger Duke's mansion?

After much deliberation, he finally spoke.

"Brother Bei, I know you have powerful cultivation and your background must be quite impressive."

"So, since it's a transaction..."

"My conditions are not just the first spirit ring, but also that I enter Shrek Academy, the number one academy on the continent."

Bei Bei narrowed her eyes slightly, meeting Huo Yuhao's resolute gaze.

Is it a predetermined fate?

There's no way to avoid it... Even if you try to avoid it, the chosen one will likely follow the predetermined path.

"it is good."

"make a deal!"

After reaching an agreement, the two stepped into the Star Dou Great Forest.

Soon, an unexpected event proved that Beibei's decision was correct.

Follow the chosen one, and you'll always be able to witness iconic moments.

They were met with an ambush—the Wind, Ten-Year Soul Beast, Nearly God-Slaying Baboon!

Thanks to Bei Bei's presence, Huo Yuhao did not face a fierce battle.

But the sudden appearance of the attacker startled him quite a bit, and the White Tiger Short Dagger was already out of its sheath.

His current expression can be described as looking around with a drawn sword, but feeling lost.

At the same time, I couldn't help but feel secretly fortunate, because if I had been alone, I might have already lost my life on the spot.

Just then, a sleazy voice suddenly rang in his mind.

"Ha ha!"

"Finally, I've encountered a human with mental attributes."

"It's a pity I can't cry, otherwise I would definitely be in tears!"
