The Legend of the Dragon King - Chapter 924

Chapter 924




Feeling helpless, Tang Wulin said, "I can't do that! There's no way I can take you there in your current condition . I heard from the Vice Hall Master that the Skyend Mountain army has the roughest and most mysterious group of people on the entire continent . I'm afraid that you'll be in danger over there . Stay here first . I'll take you there if I find a suitable place for you to stay, alright?"

Tang Wulin learned that Gu Yuena was capable of living on her own after being with her for so many days . The only issue was her exceptional beauty which was a source of concern for Tang Wulin . He had bought some tools earlier during the journey to make her a mask . The mask concealed her exquisite beauty while her hair was dyed black, so she did not appear conspicuous any longer .

Gu Yuena lowered her head which was how she reacted whenever she was dissatisfied . Naturally, Tang Wulin was filled with pity when he saw her condition, so he tried consoling her . It was Gu Yuena's most effective tactic in dealing with Tang Wulin .

"Be a good girl . I really can't take you along this time . Eh, can you smell the scent of roast meat?" Tang Wulin's eyes suddenly brightened as he nudged Gu Yuena .

"Where, where's it coming from?" As expected, the little foodie immediately looked up with an excited expression on her face . She had been extremely dissatisfied after eating dried rations for the past few days in the desert .

Soon, they found a roast meat shop that was regularly patronized by the locals in the Fire Basin . They feasted on large chunks of roast meat which were complemented with the fruit wine brewed locally .

The meat was roasted to perfection such that it was tender on the inside but charred on the outside . Not only was it savory, but the juices inside the roast meat were also preserved . Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena feasted in decadence .

Although Tang Wulin did not need large amounts of food to support his bloodline power anymore, he still had a high metabolism for being a foodie for so many years . Both of them ate five portions before they finally stopped .

"Gu Yue, look . There's so much scrumptious food here in the Fire Basin . Stay and you can have roast meat every day . On the other hand, if you follow me to the Skyend Mountain, you'll only have dried rations every day just like when we were in the desert . I won't feel good knowing that you won't be eating well . Be a good girl and stay here, alright?"



Gu Yuena was patiently coaxed until she agreed . Next, Tang Wulin had to get her accommodation . He was not short of money, so he found the best hotel for Gu Yuena and reserved a room for three months .


Most amenities were available in the hotel . Tang Wulin provided her with adequate money and brought her along to stay for two days . This was so she could adapt and get used to living there on her own . Following that, Tang Wulin left with the Tang Sect Combat Vehicle and headed straight for the Skyend Mountain .

Driving alone was miserable . Having traveled only a hundred kilometers, he had thought of turning back to pick up Gu Yuena not less than ten times . He relied on his intensely strong willpower to suppress the impulse in his heart with great effort .

"Beep, beep!" The soul communicator resounded . It was a brand new soul communicator which Tang Wulin had just purchased in the Fire Basin . His communicator which he had brought along earlier had been shut off .

"What happened, Gu Yue?" Tang Wulin did not even check, but he knew it was her since she was the only person who knew this number .

"Father, I miss you already . " Gu Yuena's voice sounded like she was crying .

"Be a good girl, Gu Yue . I'll be back soon . Do more meditation daily to absorb the Velvet Skyreach Chrysanthemum's energy so you can recover soon . You can call me whenever you miss me, and I'll call you before I come back, alright?"

"Hmm . " Gu Yuena's voice sounded like she was sobbing harder now .

"Alright, I'm coming back now . Wait for me . " He could not stand it anymore!



Tang Wulin turned the car around and returned to the Fire Basin . He stopped the car in front of the hotel . As soon as he got down from the car, Gu Yuena ran up to him and thrust her svelte figure abruptly into his arms .

She did not say a word but only hugged him tightly .

Tang Wulin could feel his heart melting . How could he possibly part with her? He was overwhelmed with mixed emotions at once .

"Father, you can leave now . I'll be a good girl," Gu Yuena suddenly looked up and spoke with determination .

Tang Wulin was stunned for a moment .

Gu Yuena smiled at him and tiptoed to kiss him on his cheek before pushing him back into the car . "Come back to visit me soon . "

Tang Wulin was slightly confused . He was speechless as he looked at Gu Yuena beaming with joy . "Gu Yue, do you want to…"

"You can go, father . I'll grow up to be a good girl as I wait for you to come back . " Gu Yuena pushed him into the car, then waved at him .

Tang Wulin felt like he had lost control of his emotions . "Or else, you can…"

On the other hand, Gu Yuena smiled as she closed the door . "Father is willing to come back so it shows that I'm important to you . Go, quick . I'm a sensible child . Don't worry, I'll take good care of myself . "

Tang Wulin smiled at once . He was more at ease now . His car slowly gained speed while he looked at his rearview mirror occasionally . She remained standing there waving at him . His heart was enshrouded with love at this moment .

"Is the condition at the Skyend Mountain very tough? What is it to me? She'll be waiting for me . "

Tang Wulin turned a corner and accelerated as he headed straight for the Skyend Mountain with a valiant will to fight .

Gu Yuena stopped waving her hand when she could no longer see the silhouette of the combat vehicle . "Whoosh . " Her tears overflowed the rims of her eyes and wetted her cheeks .

"Little girl, why are you crying?" A raspy voice came from the side . A young man with dark complexion dressed in a top that revealed half a shoulder approached Gu Yue .

"Go away!" Gu Yue suddenly shouted aloud .

The young man shivered once . It was as if he had seen some exceedingly terrifying things in her purple eyes . His initially dark face turned ghastly pale as he turned around and fled .

Within the pair of crystal clear purple eyes, her vertical pupils constricted gradually and returned to its initial state .

…

There was only shock in Tang Wulin's heart as he looked at the scenery in the distance .

Rolling, snowy white hills stretched as far as the eyes could see . It soared higher the further it stretched until it soared straight into the clouds .

The sun appeared to be much closer than it normally is . Tang Wulin could sense that the light element here was overpowering . It might cause negative effects on his body despite his body's strong defense . Apparently, he did not mind it too much because of his strong, resilient body .

The road had already come to an end . He had to cross the snow mountain in order to reach his destination .

It was Tang Wulin's first experience in such a terrain where the air was thin and few people trod . Still, he was bedazzled by the beauty of nature .

He turned his head and looked behind . The places he passed were still green . Yet, when he turned around, his path ahead was covered in snow .

Standing there, he felt as trifle as a drop in the vast ocean . This is the charm of nature! How could anyone destroy such magnificence?

The Nature Seed positioned between his brows seemed to tremble gently once . It was as if the seed was responding to the fluctuation in his heart . Tang Wulin inhaled deeply as he walked in great strides toward the snow mountain ahead . At the same time, he retrieved the positioning system device given to him especially by the Amorous Douluo .

The positioning system could only be used to locate his destination . He had already turned it on since he left the Fire Basin and relied on its guidance to arrive here . At the moment, the positioning system was pointing at the snow mountain .

The temperature was already very low . Tang Wulin was dressed in an unlined garment . His footsteps were quick and steady while the bloodline vortex in his body circulated naturally to disperse the cold air around his body .

Soon, he entered the region of the snow mountain, and he found it difficult to walk . However, he did not unleash his battle armor because the Amorous Douluo once told him that he would need to be a conventional person while he was here . It was because each person enlisting in the army would need to walk this path on his own two feet . Even a flying soul master was no exception . It was the rule . He was also not allowed to use his martial soul, or he would face elimination otherwise .
