Douluo Dalu: The Legend of Heavenly Ruler
chapter-195

--- Chapter 194 ---

On a wide pathway, Yunlong casually walked along the road while Kaguya following him.

"Um... Yunlong?" Kaguya suddenly opened her mouth.

"Yes?" Yunlong calmly responded without looking at her.

"I didn't ask this before, but why should I become your maid?" Kaguya tilted her head in confusion.

"Well, about that." Yunlong peeked slightly at Kaguya, who wore a white maid outfit. "I actually didn't have a particular reason."

"I just want to see you in a maid outfit, that's all." He continued while focusing his gaze on the road again.

"Maid..." Kaguya softly mumbled while looking at her clothes, which she actually liked.

Kaguya has worn her white matriarch robe for years, and she had never changed a pattern once, which surprisingly didn't bore her in the past, but now it's different because she liked this outfit for some reason.

"This isn't so bad." She commented while swaying her long skirt lightly.

Clak! Clak! Clak!

A horseshoe's noise rang on the road, and Kaguya curiously turned her head around slightly.

"Hmm?" Kaguya quietly gazed on the incoming horses, which were pulling a nice-looking carriage.

Yunlong didn't look because he already sensed it a mile ago and kept walking forward without worry because he followed Tang Hao's memory.

Tang Hao had entered Slaughter City before to gain the DeathGod Domain, so Yunlong merely walked his way to that place.

Yunlong suddenly raised his hand and glanced at the incoming carriage, which abruptly stopped right beside Kaguya.

"Hey there, beautiful? Why don't you come in and enjoy your time together with me." A young man in a golden-adorned robe said.

He had caught a glimpse of Kaguya's appearance a few seconds ago and never thought he would be this lucky to find such a beautiful woman.

'To think such a fine beauty would walk on a random road.' The young man thought.

Kaguya glanced at the young man for a moment and quickly moved her gaze to Yunlong. "What should I do?" She asked like a child asking for its parent's permission.

"Ignore him. We have a place to visit after all." Yunlong answered while walking away.

Kaguya nodded and quickly followed him again, which left the young man speechless because no one had bluntly rejected him like this before.

The young man swiftly moved his gaze to Yunlong and immediately was stunned because he could sense an enormous pressure from him.

"I, Gong Xi, had never felt like this before..." The young man whispered while looking at his trembling hand.

Gong Xi blinked for exactly one millisecond, and Yunlong had already disappeared from his view, followed by Kaguya, who also weirdly vanished like there were no people on the road in the first place.

"G-Ghost!" Gong Xi's driver said with a frightened look.

"Do you see anything?" Gong Xi asked with a weird expression.

"I-I saw two people walking on the road, but they disappeared suddenly." The driver answered with a stutter, which caused Gong Xi to frown.

Gong Xi released a sigh and said, "Whatever, let's continue. I need to reach Spirit Hall as soon as possible. I heard the continental spirit tournament this year was held there."

Yunlong casually sat on a tree branch and listened to Gong Xi's words, which caused him to furrow his brow slightly.

"Hmm, the tournament has already been announced?" Yunlong lowered his head in wonder because this was faster than he had presumed.

Even though it was ahead of time, Yunlong didn't really see much worth in the incoming tournament, except for showing Spirit Hall's dominance over others.

Kaguya was humming beside him and felt the entire plants around them living peacefully.

"Hmm... Hmm." Kaguya gently touched the leaves near her and sensed a vibrant vitality, which wasn't surprisingly inferior to Yunlong's blood.

Kaguya was about to close her eyes, but Yunlong suddenly flicked her forehead.

"Don't sleep. I know you have an urge to connect with nature, but we have a place to visit, remember?." Yunlong's voice entered Kaguya's ears.

"Okay..." Kaguya gradually opened her eyes.

She gently touched her forehead and had an urge to pout for no reason, which caused Yunlong to chuckle because her expression was weird.

"What?" Kaguya frowned at him.

"Nothing." Yunlong chuckled even more.

They continued their journey to the slaughter city and encountered a few spirit beasts and people in their path, which was somewhat inconvenient because Kaguya's beauty always captivated them.

However, when one of them tried to lay their hands on Kaguya, she immediately glanced at them with a cold gaze, which froze their souls in fear.

Some of them were even more unfortunate but let's not pry further to their demise.

Yunlong and Kaguya arrived at a small town in the middle of nowhere and saw a bar firmly standing near them.

"This place..." Yunlong looked at the bar with a frown.

Yunlong slowly walked toward the bar and walked through the front door. "Blood." He suddenly smelled something rusty, which was a bloodstain on the doorknob.

Kaguya also followed him from behind and immediately smelled the same thing, which was a blood stench.

"How unpleasant..." Kaguya muttered softly.

They slowly entered the bar and saw some people sitting on their chairs while enjoying their drinks. However, weirdly all of them had the same red liquid drink.

Yunlong calmly took a seat on the counter, and a bartender quickly appeared in front of him.

"What drink?" The bartender calmly asked while wiping a wine glass.

Yunlong glanced at him and answered, "Bloody Mary."

As Yunlong said those words, everyone in the bar abruptly moved their gazes on him like Bloody Mary was a trigger for them.

The bartender's expression became dark all of a sudden. "Are you sure?" He asked with a slight mock in his tone.

Yunlong's eyes turned into Sharingan and casually replied, "Yeah, any problem?"

With a single glance, the bartender felt a great beast standing in front of him, and it was enough to scare the living shit of him.

A heavy yet wild killing intently slowly sipped out of Yunlong's body, and everyone quickly shivered in a cold sweat.

'How could a young man have such a wicked killing intent... Just how many people he had killed in the past.' The bartender thought while preparing Yunlong's order.

"I also want one..." Kaguya suddenly ordered and calmly sat beside Yunlong.

The bartender only nodded and prepared their orders quickly, which surprisingly didn't even take one minute.

Two similar drinks quickly were served to Yunlong and Kaguya, which caused them to frown because a pungent blood smell immediately attacked their noses.

[Name: Bloody Mary]

[Ingredient: Human Blood]

[Effect: Agitate one's killing intent, Will be poisonous if consumed too much]

Yunlong grasped the wine glass and instantly drank it like it was nothing for him.

His action surprised some people in the room because usually, people are instantly mad if they consume Bloody Mary like that.

"...Mm, bitter." Kaguya slowly drank it like evening tea, which also shocked them.

Yunlong and Kaguya become abruptly silent as soon as they finish their drinks.

"I see... It's certainly a weird experience." Yunlong commented while feeling his killing intent rushed into his head.

Kaguya only shook her head slightly and took over the fuzziness with calm composure.

"Yunlong?" Kaguya grasped Yunlong's shoulder.

"I'm fine." Yunlong smiled slightly.

Kriek!

The front door abruptly opened, and a woman walked into the bar while staring at Yunlong and Kaguya.

"Welcome to Slaughter City." She grinned at them.
