Douluo Dalu: The Legend of Heavenly Ruler
chapter-50

--- Chapter 50 ---

In the carriage, Yunlong is smiling at Qian Renxue, who avoided his gaze because she can tell that he wants to do something to her.

"Big sister, you still remember our agreement, right?" Yunlong suddenly asked while forming a smirk on his face, which caught Renxue off guard for a moment.

"O-Of course I do. Do you think I'll forget about it?" Qian Renxue replied while blushing a little because she isn't ready to kiss him.

"Well, I only want to remind you that I want it sooner," Yunlong haughtily responded.

"W-What?!" Qian Renxue jumped from her seat with a blushed face and realized that Yunlong is only teasing her.

"Ah, You're teasing me again!" She whined like a little kid while pouting, which makes Yu Ning'er weirdly staring at them.

'Their relationship is good.' Yu Ning'er commented while calmly shifting her gaze at Yunlong, who is letting out a gentle chuckle because of his sister's reaction.

Yunlong takes out Yuri from his unique spatial ring, which can store living beings for a while, and then putting her on his lap.

Qian Renxue is hatefully staring at him before swaying her head away, "Hmph."

'Teasing her is satisfying as always.' Yunlong thought while brushing his white pet fox fur, making her delightedly purring on his lap.

"Yuri, are you hungry?" Yunlong asked the fox, who is lazily nodding her head.

Yunling is about to give Yuri her food, but the carriage suddenly stops, making him frown for a second.

"What happened?" Yunlong asked the driver.

"Bandit." The driver sighed while pointing his finger at the group of men in shabby black clothes.

[Quest]

[Wild Bandit's Attacks]

[A group of bandit is about to attack your carriage]

[Objective: Defeat 15 bandits in five minutes(0/15)]

[Reward: 1x random skill, 1000 Sp]

[Y/N]

"He is not going to help unless the enemy is too powerful for us, huh," Yunlong commented while staring at the skies. He can see Jin Eyu calmly observing the bandits.

'Well, I accept the quest.' He inwardly responded to his system while walking out of the carriage.

"Young master, where are you going?" Yu Ning'er asked him, to which Yunlong responded with a smile.

"I'll fight bandits for a while," Yunlong naturally replied, which makes the three girls in the carriage frown at him.

"Don't worry. It won't take five minutes to defeat all of them. Also, take care of Yuri for a while." He confidently added while handing Yuri to his sister.

'None of them are soul masters.' Jin Eyu thought while staring at the group of bandits, who are approaching the carriage with weapons in their hands.

'Should I step in and destroy them? Hmm, but I want to see Yunlong's fighting skill.' He inwardly added while shifting his gaze at the carriage, where Yunlong comes out with a calm expression on his face.

"I will take care of them," Yunlong stated to the driver, who is solemnly staring at him.

"Eh, young master. You don't have to! Why don't you let me fight them?" The driver earnestly proposed, which Yunlong instantly rejected.

"No, it's okay. I'll take care of these bandits in a few seconds." Yunlong said while using his shadow flash steps and arrived in front of the bandits.

"What?!" The bandits were shocked because an unknown boy suddenly arrived in front of them.

"What's up? Wanna rob someone?!" Yunlong said with a smile on his face.

"Who are you!" One bandit shouted, which makes Yunlong chuckling.

"I'm Batman!" Yunlong responded while shifting his gaze at a tree and then breaking a slender branch, which he held like a sword.

Yunlong is firmly standing on the ground before thrusting the tree branch forward to the air. His action is immensely confusing the bandits, but then his quiet voice echoing in the area.

"Unison Season Arts: First Sword, Early Summer Rain."

"Sword Intent?!" Jin Eyu alarmed while feeling invisible forces scattering around Yunlong's body, which suddenly move toward the bandits and pierce their bodies.

"Arrgh!"

"Uugh!"

"Keuk!"

All the bandits with shocked expressions on their faces fall to the ground and then groaning in pain.

[Defeated Bandit(15/15)]

[Quest Completed]

[Rewarding: 1x random skill and 1000 Sp]

"I hold my strength, so you guys only feel mild pain," Yunlong stated while walking toward the nearest bandit and lift his head.

"It's not mild at all..." The bandit groaned while staring at Yunlong.

"Is that so? Stare at my eyes then." Yunlong responded while activating his Sharingan and put an illusion on the bandit.

'Hmm, nothing special.' Yunlong thought while tossing off the bandit to the ground.

He searched their memories and then found that this group is only a tiny part of the leading group, which surprisingly had a soul master as a leader.

[You have found a clue of the mountain bandit information!]

[You have triggered a Chain Quest]

[Find the leading group and defeat the bandit leader]

[Reward: 1x random pill recipe, 2500 SP]

[Y/N]

'Hmm? Another Quest?' Yunlong thought while throwing the last bandit into a pile of his fainted comrades.

'Chain Quest, huh. Sure.' He inwardly nodded while shifting his gaze at the skies.

"Sword intent, how can you have a sword intent when you are only 8 years old." Jin Eyu said with a confused expression while landing in front of him.

"Training?" Yunlong honestly answered while shrugging off his shoulder and then walk past him toward the carriage.

"Training..." Jin Eyu muttered with a speechless expression on his face before releasing a heavy sigh.

"Ah, I forgot about something." Yunlong suddenly said while snapping his finger and launching a wisp of energy attack shaped like a dragon head to the bandits, which caught Jin Eyu off guard.

Boom!

A small energy explosion occurred and instantly killed the bandits, which triggered the system's notification on his head.

[You have killed an unknown mountain bandit]

[You have killed an unknown mountain bandit]

[You have killed...]

[Mortal Sin: Gluttony Activated]

[You have gained a piece of a bandit's soul]

[You have gained...]

[Your proficiency in soul manipulation have increased]

'I only gain their souls. Well, it's better than nothing, I guess.' Yunlong thought while continue to walk toward the carriage.

'I see... Bibi Dong is not soft when raising her son,' Jin Eyu thought while staring at Yunlong's back.

Jin Eyu shifted his gaze at the area where Yunlong just attacked the bandits and found a large crater with red blood scattered around it.

"What a child." Jin Eyu quietly commented while flying back to the skies and continue to guard the carriage.
