Douluo Dalu: The Legend of Heavenly Ruler
chapter-213

--- Chapter 213 ---

In quite a spacious village surrounded by forest and lakes, a middle-aged farmer slowly treated his corps.

Xi Feng glanced at the village hall and saw people were doing their usual morning work, which caused him to smile slightly.

"The weather is nice, and the sky is azure clear." He commented while raising his martial soul, which was a small sickle. "What a great day."

"Dear, are you done?" A soothing woman's voice rang in the field.

Xi Feng turned around and saw his dear wife slowly approached him with a packed breakfast in her hands.

"Mei, I'm done with my work." He responded while waving his hands. "I'll wash my hands first."

Xi Feng walked toward a flowing river near his farmlands and quickly washed his hands. However, he noticed the azure sky abruptly became dark like something was about to happen.

He hurriedly moved his gaze away and saw an ominous black swirl appear above his wife.

A pitch-dark wolf came out of the black swirl and immediately prying prey near itself.

"XI MEI!!" Xi Feng hurriedly ran toward his wife.

"RUN!!!"

Xi Feng shouted at the top of his lungs, but it was too late because neither his wife nor he was a soul master. They are only commoners with trash martial souls.

The wolf fell and opened its giant mouth, swallowing his wife's body without any trace left, except for the packed breakfast that fell onto the ground.

Xi Feng stumbled upon a rock and looked at the giant wolf with great disbelief. He couldn't believe what just happened since his wife just died right in front of his eyes.

"No..." Xi Feng hatefully stared at the wolf.

"This can't be, Xi Mei...?"

"It's a nightmare, yes a nightmare."

"I only have to wake up."

"I only have-."

Xi Feng couldn't even finish his words because the dark wolf's fang had already pierced his head.

The dark wolf quickly swallowed Xi Feng like his wife, and more creatures fell from the black swirl.

AAAUUUUUUUUU!!

The village heard a wolf howl, and the dark creatures immediately started their rampages. They swallowed everything on their paths without leaving a single living being.

The peaceful village quickly had become a lonely place with blood splattered everywhere, which now filled with those hungry creatures.

--- Star Dou Forest ---

Yunlong slowly floated on the green lake with a bored expression. He looked at Gu Yuena, who gave some instructions to Di Tian.

"Nine Dragon Gate still hasn't been completed yet," Yunlong whispered with a sigh.

"I need more references." He added while closing his eyes.

Yunlong suddenly sensed a slender silvervine almost reached his face, which caused him to move his gaze slowly to Kaguya, who had been waiting near the green lake with a towel in her hand.

"Here," Kaguya said while pushing the towel.

Yunlong quickly arrived beside her and gently grabbed the towel with his left hand.

"I told you that you don't have to wait for me every day, right?" He naturally responded while wiping his face.

"I'm bored." Kaguya bluntly answered. "I don't have anything to do except for cultivating my power again."

"I see..." Yunlong couldn't help but chuckle slightly because Kaguya more or less had adapted to this world, but the other souls he brought haven't even awakened yet.

"What's their conditions now?" He continued, to which Kaguya quietly responded with a shake of her head.

"Why are you wet?" Gu Yuena suddenly walked toward them.

Gu Yuena casually patted Yunlong's shoulder, which caused his clothes to become dry in a second. "Let's go." She said while looking at him.

Yunlong shrugged his shoulders and teleported them away from Star Dou City, leaving Di Tian and Bi Ji alone in the core area.

"As expected, he had space manipulation." Di Tian calmly said while looking at thin air, where Yunlong and the other disappeared.

"You're not really surprised tho." Bi Ji commented while looking at Di Tian.

"Well, he had a great affinity with space elements somehow." Di Tian responded with a sigh. "It's kind of weird because none of his martial souls have a space attribute."

--- Star Luo Empire ---

After Yunlong used his teleportation technique, they instantly arrived in Star Luo City. He had a few things to do here, which is why they didn't teleport right away to Spirit Hall.

They arrived inside Yunlong's old home base backyard, which surprisingly didn't have any dust and was remarkably clean for some reason.

"Hmm?" Yunlong walked into his house and saw Zhu Zhuyun swept over the floor.

Zhu Zhuyun wore a black maid outfit and cat ears, which were perfect for her body type. She noticed someone else's presence in her master's place and hurriedly turned around.

"Y-Young master." Zhu Zhuyun dropped her broom and quickly kneeled on the floor, which caused Yunlong to smile wryly.

Yunlong looked down on Zhu Zhuyun and commented, "So you're the one who cleaned this place when we are away, huh."

"Y-Yes." Zhu Zhuyun fearfully responded. "I-I discovered this place a few years ago and cleaned it every week."

Zhu Zhuyun couldn't help but tremble slightly because her mind was in chaos.

After Yunlong left Zhu Zhuyun with a mind illusion, she couldn't think of anything but him for hours. Even when she fell asleep, Yunlong always appeared in her dreams.

At first, Zhu Zhuyun hated this experience because her head would always feel like crazy. Nevertheless, she begins to accept it after a month and really enjoys it for some reason.

Zhu Zhuyun despised this newfound joyful sensation yet couldn't even resist herself for being addicted. She even dreamed of being punished by Yunlong.

"To think something like this would happen..." Yunlong mumbled quietly. He observed Zhu Zhuyun for a moment and noticed a rosy blush appeared on her face, which sometimes happens to Yu Ning'er when he praises her.

'Don't tell me she becomes a masochist...' Yunlong was speechless for a second.

Yunlong expected Zhu Zhuyun to become his mindless puppet, which he could manipulate to control the Star Luo Empire, but it seemed his mind illusion slightly changed her mind.

"Zhu Zhuyun, you can get up now." Yunlong casually commented with a sigh.

Zhu Zhuyun quickly lifted her body from the floor and looked down with a deep expectation in her heart.

'Would he punish me... I want him to punish me.' She thought while looking at the floor.

"I hope the young master gave me a punishment." Zhu Zhuyun instinctively whispered.

Zhu Zhuyun's eyes widened, and she quickly covered her mouth in wonder because her thoughts just jumped out of nowhere.

Yunlong didn't say anything and casually grasped Zhu Zhuyun's shoulder, which abruptly caused her body to shiver in pleasure.

"A-Ah..." Zhu Zhuyun dropped onto the floor, and her face was full of pleasure.

"Do you want more?" Yunlong indifferently questioned while wiping his hand with a handkerchief.

"P-Please, young master." Zhu Zhuyun responded with a stutter.

"If you want more," Yunlong silently replied. "Then tell me the current condition of the Star Luo Empire first."
