Chapter 85: The Beautiful Girl in the Forest Who Doesn’t Believe in Fate
🕑 Added 2025-04-06 10:01:00 +0000 UTC"Alright, alright, let's not talk about that anymore."
Soon, Xiao Yu arrived at the entrance of Blue Tyrant Academy and met up with Sword Douluo and Yu Luomian.
However, shortly after Xiao Yu arrived, Dugu Bo also appeared behind him.
"Old Poison, are you coming too?"
Seeing Dugu Bo behind Xiao Yu, Yu Luomian asked with a look of surprise.
Wasn't this trip just to help Ning Rongrong obtain her third soul ring?
Why such a powerful lineup?!
"Sword Douluo is going for Rongrong. Xiao Yu is my grandson-in-law. How can I not go? Besides, I just broke through recently and have nothing to do. What, old dragon, do you have a problem with that? If so, why don't you stay behind? I'll take Xiao Yu myself."
Dugu Bo spoke indifferently.
"Hehe, no, no, Poison Douluo is right..."
Over the past two years, not only had his daughter and Xiao Yu made tremendous progress, but Dugu Bo, this old guy, had also inexplicably reached Level 94 and then advanced another level.
He was now at Level 95.
The current Dugu Bo was no longer the weakest Title Douluo that Yu Luomian could look down upon. Now, he was on equal footing with Yu Luomian's elder brother, Yu Yuanzhen.
Especially since Dugu Bo was a lone wolf, free to come and go as he pleased, unlike Yu Luomian's elder brother, who had to manage an entire clan.
Thus, Yu Luomian had long since abandoned any other thoughts and now only felt respect.
"Since Poison Douluo is also coming, I feel even more at ease. Let's not waste any time and set off immediately."
Sword Douluo didn't say much about it.
After all, having a Level 95 Title Douluo along would make things much safer in the Star Dou Forest.
To be honest, at Sword Douluo's level, Yu Luomian was no longer a significant presence.
The main reason for bringing him along was to keep an eye on Rongrong and Xiao Yu.
Only someone like Dugu Bo could truly command Sword Douluo's respect.
Soon, the group set off toward the Star Dou Forest.
Three days later, after a leisurely journey filled with eating and sightseeing, the five finally arrived at the Star Dou Forest.
Although Yu Luomian, Sword Douluo, and Dugu Bo didn't have much in common, Xiao Yu and Ning Rongrong did.
Thus, most of the time, it was Ning Rongrong who was having fun, while the others accompanied her, eating and drinking as they pleased.
As the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, wasn't it natural for Ning Rongrong to enjoy herself?
However, at night, Ning Rongrong would change her demeanor, becoming the one to accompany Xiao Yu as he had his fun.
After resting for a night at an inn, the group entered the Star Dou Forest early the next morning, taking advantage of the morning mist.
Meanwhile, at the same time Xiao Yu and his group entered the Star Dou Forest, another team entered the forest from a different entrance.
On the other side, at the central lake of the Star Dou Forest.
Inside a delicately crafted wooden cabin.
A girl with a serene face and long, smooth black hair casually spread across the pink bed behind her. Though her face still carried a hint of youthful innocence, one could already see how stunning she would become in the future.
Dressed in a white and pink dress, the beautiful girl gazed out the window at the sparkling lake, lost in thought.
A pair of crystal high heels lay casually by the bed.
Her legs, clad in white stockings adorned with silver accessories, rested casually on the bed.
As she looked out at the lake, the girl's eyes were filled with longing and anticipation.
This girl was none other than Xiao Wu, who had left Tang San's side two years ago and, under Tang Hao's urging, returned to the Star Dou Forest for her and her "Third Brother's" safety.
Over the past two years, Xiao Wu hadn't realized just how much she would miss Tang San.
Was this what her mother had called love?
Xiao Wu wasn't sure, but she knew she missed her Third Brother more and more.
"Third Brother... it's been two years. Have you been well?"
The girl's sighing demeanor made one want to protect her, to hold her close and cherish her.
"Thud!"
"Thud!!"
"Thud!!!"
Soon, a series of heavy footsteps shook the ground, causing ripples to form on the previously calm lake.
As the ripples grew, a massive, pitch-black figure with muscles as hard as diamond approached the small cabin.
The figure slowly lowered its head and looked at the beautiful girl by the bed.
In a deep, resonant voice, it spoke.
"Sister Xiao Wu, that boy you told us to keep an eye on has arrived. He's entered the Star Dou Forest with his protectors."
Hearing this, Xiao Wu's eyes, which had been filled with loneliness, instantly lit up.
"Er Ming, is that true?! Where is he?! Take me to him!!"
Hearing this, Xiao Wu leaped from the bed onto the Titan Giant Ape's shoulder.
Her eyes, filled with anticipation, looked toward the forest's edge.
A few days ago, overwhelmed by her longing for Tang San, Xiao Wu had calculated the timing and guessed that her Third Brother might soon break through to the Soul Elder level and come to the Star Dou Forest to hunt for a soul ring.
She had asked Er Ming to keep an eye out for her Third Brother's arrival.
Now, it seemed her guess had been correct. Her Third Brother had indeed broken through and entered the forest.
She could finally see him again.
"Sister Xiao Wu, are you sure you want to go out? Da Ming is still exploring the lake's depths. If we encounter two Title Douluos above Level 95, I won't be able to protect you."
"Don't worry, I'm now a Level 33 Soul Elder. I've awakened the Blink skill, so I have some self-defense capabilities! Besides, the teachers at Shrek Academy are only Soul Sages. They don't have any Title Douluos.
Moreover, we're just going to take a look. It's not like we'll be so unlucky as to run into two Title Douluos above Level 95. How many Title Douluos above Level 95 are there in the world, anyway? What are the chances we'd run into two of them on this one trip?"
Xiao Wu spoke with eager anticipation.
"Well... alright. But Sister Xiao Wu, they're here to hunt spirit beasts. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for us to welcome them like this?"
Er Ming scratched his head, looking confused.
The group was clearly here to hunt spirit beasts. Why were they acting as if they were welcoming them?
This puzzled Er Ming greatly.
"Er Ming, what do you know? Third Brother would never kill good spirit beasts. He only hunts those that threaten the forest. Don't worry, Third Brother's actions help maintain the forest's balance!"
Xiao Wu impatiently explained Tang San's stance on hunting spirit rings.
She then urged Er Ming again.
Right now, she just wanted to see her Third Brother one more time.
The Titan Giant Ape scratched its head, nodded obediently, and then carried Xiao Wu toward the forest's edge.
Since Sister Xiao Wu had spoken, Er Ming naturally couldn't refuse.
However, while the logic sounded reasonable at first, upon closer thought, something felt off.
