Douluo Dalu: The Legend of Heavenly Ruler

--- Chapter 238 ---

"Are you okay?" Yunlong calmly asked while walking beside Liu Erlong.

Liu Erlong lightly nodded her head and naturally replied, "I'm fine, thanks."

She was glad Yunlong stepped up there because Yu Xiaogang's touch would trigger her murderous intent.

"It's quite fortunate for him that I don't have to dirty my hand." Liu Erlong whispered while looking at Yunlong, who had a calm expression on his face.

It's been a while since Liu Erlong saw Yunlong's face, which caused her to stare at him with a baffled look.

"Your appearance... What happened?" She asked quietly with a brief cold gleam in her eyes.

"Well, something happened." Yunlong naturally chuckled.

Liu Erlong tilted her head in confusion, and Yunlong casually explained the evil god's curse accident, which caused her to frown.

She silently listened until Yunlong abruptly stopped at the curs-cleansing part. "Hmm, what happened next?" She asked with a rather curious tone.

"Dual Cultivation, I won't say much for the later part," Yunlong quietly answered while walking away from her.

Liu Erlong's steps haltered for a moment, and her eyes slowly were trailed to Yunlong's back.

"I understand, don't worry." Liu Erlong confidently commented. "Even though you've so many women, I don't have a problem as long as you accept me on your side."

"No, I'm fine even if you just let me stay near you." She continued with a gentle tone.

Yunlong shook his head and replied, "Is that so?"

"Yes." Liu Erlong smiled because she understood a long time ago, such a monster talent like Yunlong would have a harem in the future.

She wasn't surprised if he had sexual intercourse with others. With his influence and relationship over so many ladies, he should have done it sooner or later.

Liu Erlong has already talked with Bibi Dong about this particular problem in the past. She didn't have such a nuisance because Yunlong was her true savior, but would he be willing to open his heart for her.

"I see..." Yunlong suddenly released a sigh, which caught Liu Erlong off guard.

He looked at her and commented, "Follow me, that's it."

Liu Erlong's eyes went wide because it seemed that Yunlong could read her mind or something. "Ah, he did." She gradually smiled.

She shook her head because all this time Yunlong hadn't talked deeply with her. However, he surprisingly was somehow able to understand her for some reason.

"You couldn't really walk back after you choose this. I'll give you a lot of benefits." Yunlong confidently stated.

"Your attention!" Liu Erlong hurriedly approached him.

She grasped Yunlong's warm hand and firmly added, "Your attention is enough for me, so I don't need anything else."

"Even if it was just a little, it's already enough for me."

Yunlong quietly stared at the over-excited Liu Erlong and sighed inwardly because her eyes passionately radiated with hope.

"I can't do that, unfortunately." Yunlong picked out fruit from his inventory, which was dragon heart fruit.

The fruit was weird-shaped because it looked like a combination of a regular apple and pear but somehow a silvery dragon scales around it.

[Name: Dragon Heart Fruit]

[Description: A rare fruit with the ability to boost one's strength and chance to evolve into a true dragon]

[Warning: Host couldn't consume the dragon heart fruit because your body and martial soul had exceeded normal evolution]

"Here, take this gift." Yunlong placed the dragon heart fruit on Liu Erlong's palms. "Eat it when you're alone. That fruit could increase your strength."

"Before that." He quickly created a clone and instantly deactivated the shadow clone technique, which sent the information to the original.

A few milliseconds later, a drop of blood appeared out of thin air and fell onto the dragon heart fruit.

Liu Erlong quietly looked at the fruit and wondered a few things for a moment. "This fruit must be precious..." She muttered solemnly.

"Yeah, I only have one." Yunlong returned with a chuckle, which left Liu Erlong speechless.

"Then, I-." Liu Erlong was about to refuse such a rare item, but Yunlong gently sealed her lips with his finger.

"Accept it." Yunlong said naturally. "I couldn't use that fruit because it doesn't have any effect on me."

"Well, if you found a seed, you could give it to Bai Xue so that she could plant and research it." He casually added because Dragon Heart Fruit would be definitely a rare attraction for his alchemist-loving girl.

"Fine..." Liu Erlong sighed and gently placed the dragon heart fruit into her spatial storage, which was her earring.

They walked to the arena venue and saw it filled with many youngsters who wanted to compete in the continental tournament.

"There are so many of them this year." Liu Erlong commented while walking beside Yunlong. "Well, who wouldn't want such a reward."

"What's the reward for this tournament?" Yunlong curiously asked, to which Liu Erlong responded with a wry smile.

Liu Erlong briefly glanced at Bibi Dong, who sat on her throne and weirdly answered, "Five spirit bones, four 10,000 years old and one 20,000 years old."

She moved her gaze back to Yunlong and continued, "I don't know what Bibi Dong's motive was, but Spirit Hall surely is rich."

"Uh..." Yunlong suddenly remembered a pile of spirit bones that remained inside his inventory.

He never really used them for anything because he needed those spirit bones for a future project. Not to mention some of them were above 50k years old, which is more precious than those reward spirit bones.

If that competition reward was considered rich, Yunlong was kind of curious about Liu Erlong's reaction if she knew how many spirit bones he had.

"It would be amusing, but let's not do it." Yunlong casually walked toward the viewing area, close to Bibi Dong's throne.

"Hmm?" Liu Erlong frowned because a few gazes were moving to Yunlong.

--- Shrek Seven Devils' side ---

Tang San and Ma Xiaotao suddenly shivered for some reason, and they hurriedly moved their gazes to a silverish-haired young man, who walked beside a red-headed woman.

"What's wrong with that person's presence?" Tang San solemnly muttered while feeling cold.

Meanwhile, Ma Xioato was instantly baffled by this person's aura and appearance because she had never seen any male attractive like this mysterious guy.

Yu Xiaogang suddenly approached them and solemnly stated, "He's dangerous."

"I met that young man before and ended up in this situation." He added while showing them his swollen wrist.

Tang San's eyes moved to Yu Xiaogang's wrist, which caused him to frown deeply for a second. He quickly checked his teacher's condition and was dumbfounded because his bone cracked.

"That guy..." Tang San indifferently whispered while moving his gaze again to the silver-haired young man.
