Douluo Dalu: The Legend of Heavenly Ruler

.

--- Chapter 79 ---

On the way out of the nuoding city, Yunlong peacefully observed the city condition. Even though not as crowded and lively as the heaven dou city, it's still a nice place with a good environment.

'Hmm? That man...' Yunlong suddenly frowned because he saw a familiar man who walked beside a decent-looking woman.

'The grandmaster, Yu Xiaogang.' He thought with a cold expression on his face.

"Young master?" Bai Xue noticed Yunlong's expression and became worried.

"I'm okay... I just saw something unpleasant." Yunlong answered while returning to his usual self, but he can't help but be annoyed for some reason.

"Something unpleasant?" Bai Xue reacted with a confused expression.

"You don't have to think about it. It's not that important after all," Yunlong said with an indifferent tone, to which Bai Xue responded with a nod, even though she's still confused.

'It's not the time.' Yunlong thought while closing his eyes and their carriage moved out of the city at a fast speed.

On the way to the star luo empire, they passed through many villages but didn't stop as they wanted to arrive as soon as possible. Well, They took a few short breaks, but that's all.

They moved for almost twelve hours and finally arrived at the star luo empire's territory. "We have entered the star luo empire, young master." The driver stated.

"Let's stop in the nearest settlement," Yunlong instructed while observing the area around them, which was primarily only dense woods.

The driver nodded and led the horses to move, which accelerated the carriage a little. It took them about twenty minutes until they arrived at the nearest settlement, a small city.

"We finally found a village." Yunlong released a sigh of relief and looked at the small city through the carriage window, surrounded by rigid stone brick walls.

The guards stopped the carriage, but the driver only smiled at them and released his spirit energy pressure, which is enough to scare them to death.

"W-Welcome to the holy star city, honorable guest. Please forgive us." The guards rigidly said, to which the driver responded with a composed nod.

The guards took a peek at the carriage, and Yunlong immediately gazed at them with his sharingan, which put them in a trace for a moment.

Yunlong deactivated his sharingan and shifted his gaze to the driver. "There is an inn in the city center. Let's go there." He said.

The driver only nodded his head and led the carriage to enter the city, which was slightly smaller than the nuoding city. Still, it's better than nothing.

After arriving at the inn, they rented two rooms, which separated Yunlong from his maids.

Yunlong also offered a room for the driver, but he politely declined.

"I will guard the carriage." The driver said, to which Yunlong responded with a nod and walked away into the rented room.

On the night, Yunlong lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling with a somewhat complicated expression because Bibi Dong's unknown plan made him curious and anxious at the same time.

'Just what's she planning for me.' Yunlong thought while releasing a sigh and closing his eyes.

In the spirit hall, the supreme pontiff palace's hidden garden, Bibi Dong is sitting on a chair while reading a few documents.

A sudden shock suddenly hit her a little, making Bibi Dong shift her gaze to the window, where she can see the moon.

"Hmm, Did Yunlong miss me already?" Bibi Dong smiled while humming a little, which made the quiet room slightly cheerful.

"Well, he should have met Liu Erlong now," She continued with a playful tone.

--- the following day ---

Yunlong lifted his body from the bed and opened the inn door, which accidentally hit someone.

"Ouch! My head…" Yu Ning'er whimpered while kneeling on the floor.

"Ah, my bad," Yunlong responded with a weak smile on his face and helped her by giving her a hand, which Yu Ning'er gladly took.

"It's okay, young master. I only feel a little dizzy." Yu Ning'er replied while smiling at him.

Yunlong shook his head and patted her on the head. "Nope, you're not okay." He said while healing her using the white light grace.

Yu Ning'er felt very comfortable when Yunlong healed her and released a slight purring sound, which embarrassed her for some reason.

"You should be okay now." Yunlong lifted his hand from her head.

"T-Then, young master. I will take my leave." Yu Ning'er bowed and hurriedly walked away from him.

"We also already prepared breakfast. Please eat it well." She continued before entering the other room.

"That's cute." Yunlong released a chuckle and walk downstairs, where he saw Chu Xiaoyu waited with a tray on the dining table.

"Good morning…" Chu Xiaoyu said when she noticed that Yunlong walked toward her.

Yunlong nodded his head and responded with a smile. "Good morning." He said.

"We already prepared breakfast for you..." Chu Xiaoyu stated.

"I already know. Well, let me taste it." Yunlong replied while sitting on the chair and took a bite of the breakfast.

"It's good."

--- after the breakfast ---

They continued their travel toward the star luo city, the central city of the star luo empire.

"What happened to you?" Bai Xue asked while looking at Yu Ning'er, who sheepishly hid her face in the corner.

"It's nothing..." Yu Ning'er quietly responded.

"Are you sick? I can help you!" Bai Xue suddenly offered because she thought Yu Ning'er got travel sickness.

"I'm okay…!" Yu Ning'er instantly denied the red-haired maid's offer and took a glance at Yunlong, who was calmly observing the scenery.

'Young master.' She thought while remembering the morning accident, which made her face slightly red.

"As I thought, you're sick." Bai Xue suddenly said, which made Yu Ning'er mouth twitch.

"I'm not sick!" Yu Ning'er gave the red-haired girl a sharp gaze.

'What are you two doing?' Chu Xiaoyu stared at her fellow maids with a clueless expression.

After long hours of carriage ride, Yunlong suddenly could see a big city with tall walls and a giant white tiger statue, which amazed him because even the heaven dou city isn't this majestic when he first saw it.

They moved forward toward the city and again stopped by the guards, who are at the spirit ancestor realm.

"Stop, state your business" The guard walked toward the driver, who calmly raised his hand in the air.

The driver didn't open his mouth, which made the guard frown until he heard a slight knock from the carriage.

"Hmm?" He looked at the window, where he could see a kid with crimson eyes.

Yunlong put the guard in the illusion, which made him walk back to his post and said, "They're safe."

The other guard only nodded their heads as they let them enter the city.

'That's way easier than what I expected.' Yunlong thought while looking through the city scenery, which is better than the heaven dou city.

He nodded and looked at the giant castle, in the middle of the city, which is supposed to be where Star Luo's Emperor lives.

'Well, Let's start the mission!' Yunlong thought with a smile on his face.
