Douluo Continent: Reborn Yuhao, their eyes are strange

Chapter 382 Zhu Zhuqing: Could that boy be the reincarnation of Third Brother?; Cupid's Mission

"Yay!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaoyan was the first to burst into cheers.

Her original plan was just to come in and freeload, but now it seems the package she can enjoy has been upgraded to a private event.

This was an unexpected delight, and she was naturally overjoyed.

After the commotion subsided slightly, Leng Yulai waved to Gu Yue again, her tone affectionate:

"Gu Yue, come with me. My sister must have already sent you a message, right? We'll go to greet her together in a bit."

As she spoke, she clapped her hands lightly twice.

A pretty young girl dressed as a maid emerged from the back hall, walked to Leng Yulai's side, and stood respectfully with her head bowed.

"As for what happens next..."

Leng Yulai pointed at the girl and smiled:

"Xiao Lan will lead you all to that small world, and she will also be in charge of arranging the rest of the arrangements for you. If you need anything, just let her know."

Huo Yuhao's gaze swept over the girl with her eyes lowered, and a strange feeling suddenly rose in his heart.

Although it was only their first meeting, Huo Yuhao felt that the girl's emotional fluctuations were unusually complex and unpredictable, completely unlike what an ordinary maid should be like.

However, now is not the time to delve into it; I simply kept it in mind.

Meanwhile, deep within the core space of Qiankun Wenqing Valley, in a secret room.

A phantom image of a golden and silver pagoda, radiating a soft glow, floated in mid-air, trapping Zhu Zhuqing firmly in place.

In the past few days, Zhu Zhuqing had been trying to mobilize the divine power within her body to break through this constraint, but found that it was all in vain.

At this moment, she could only coldly gaze at Cupid, who had reappeared after several days, and say:

"What exactly are you trying to do by keeping me trapped here?"

"What, you're not bothered about whether I'm Ning Rongrong or not anymore?"

Ning Rongrong did not rush to answer. Instead, she slowly walked around Zhu Zhuqing, who was trapped in place, several times, looked her up and down, and then sat down in the main seat.

Zhu Zhuqing responded coldly, "Heh, Rongrong would never treat her best friend like that."

"You've really forgotten what kind of personality your best friend should have."

Ning Rongrong chuckled softly, tapping her fingers lightly on the armrest. "But I didn't come here specifically to chat with you about everyday things."

As she spoke, she waved her hand.

A rippled halo of light appeared out of thin air in the center of the room.

As the water rippled outwards, the halo gradually stabilized, revealing an incredibly clear image.

"Just wait and see who comes looking for you."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing frowned slightly, a hint of doubt rising in her heart.

His gaze unconsciously drifted towards the light screen.

When she saw the girl with the scorpion-tail braid chatting and laughing with a blond boy, even acting intimately, her originally cool, heterochromatic eyes widened instantly, revealing an undisguised look of horror.

"Xiao Wu!"

After letting out a gasp, Zhu Zhuqing turned sharply to look at Ning Rongrong, her voice tinged with pleading:

"You should know how serious the backlash from the Sea God's divine essence is on Xiao Wu's body. She's been away from that small plane for too long, deprived of her life energy supply; she really will die!"

"I don't know if she'll die, but I do know that we're probably in trouble."

Ning Rongrong's tone remained calm, seemingly not as urgent as she had described.

"trouble?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing was visibly taken aback, somewhat unable to follow the other person's train of thought.

Ning Rongrong pondered for a moment before slowly replying:

"As I told you before, something has recently happened in the Douluo Continent, which has led to the complete liberation of the authority that originally belonged to the Sea God. Now take a closer look at Xiao Wu's current state."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing looked eagerly at the light screen again.

What she saw surprised her.

Xiao Wu's face was rosy at the moment, and she did not have her usual sickly and weak appearance at all. In fact, she was full of youthful vitality.

Then she looked at the unfamiliar blond boy beside her, especially the subtle intimacy between the two.

A bold guess suddenly popped into Zhu Zhuqing's mind.

"Are you trying to tell me that the boy next to Xiao Wu might be the reincarnation of Third Brother?"

Aside from this possibility, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't think of any other way to suppress the backlash from the Sea God's divine essence, or even to quell it.

"Pfft."

Ning Rongrong couldn't help but laugh out loud, then shook her head and said, "Unfortunately, you guessed wrong. That boy's name is now Ling Bing."

I think you understand what I mean. If things are really as I suspect, then wouldn't that be the beginning of our trouble?

Zhu Zhuqing's expression suddenly changed, and the joy she felt upon seeing Xiao Wu unharmed instantly froze.

Back when the God Realm was in chaos, Huo Yuhao had publicly questioned Tang San.

Back in the Valley of Love and Destiny, who was the other person standing beside Tang San, manipulating everything with him?

At that time, Tang San did not give a direct answer, but only gave a vague response.

However, considering Ning Rongrong's excited trip to Qiankun Wenqing Valley with Oscar after returning to the Douluo Continent, this is a different story.

It's not hard to deduce that the other person back then was Ning Rongrong.

If that's the case, then Huo Yuhao's hatred for Ning Rongrong is probably no less than his hatred for Tang San.

Zhu Zhuqing took a deep breath and asked, word by word:

"Are you Rongrong, or Cupid? If you truly are Cupid, then why do you need to worry about Yuhao's revenge?"

"I've said before that I'm not Ning Rongrong, but even if I have, don't you guys still have reservations?"

Ning Rongrong gave a light snort, her tone tinged with amusement.

"I possess all of Ning Rongrong's memories, even this body belongs to her. So, whether it's revenge against me or revenge against Ning Rongrong, what difference does it make to the person seeking vengeance?"

Hearing the other party so frankly admit it, Zhu Zhuqing's face turned pale.

Ning Rongrong waved her hand somewhat irritably and said:

"Enough with the small talk, I'd like to 'ask' you for a favor. Of course, you should know very well that you don't have the right to refuse."

He then got up and paced back and forth in the room, analyzing the situation to himself:

"We cannot be 100% sure of the boy's true identity yet. If he really is Huo Yuhao, then he must have the blood of the Dai family flowing through his veins."

Here, I can use the special rules of Qiankun Wenqing Valley to infinitely amplify the bloodline attraction that already exists between your Netherworld Cat and White Tiger lineage.

If he really is Huo Yuhao, no matter how well he hides it, under such absolute bloodline attraction, you will naturally be able to sense those unusual stirrings upon contact.

"After confirming your identity, what do you plan to do next?"

Zhu Zhuqing stared intently at Ning Rongrong and pressed, "Do you intend to use the same methods you used on me against him?"

How things will unfold, and what the future holds, are not things that you or I can easily decide.

Ning Rongrong shook her head noncommittally, then clapped her hands.

The golden and silver pagoda phantom that had trapped Zhu Zhuqing instantly collapsed, turning into a sky full of golden light, which directly merged into Zhu Zhuqing's body without explanation.

"As for what you need to do next, I have used my authority to transform it into a task that must be performed and have directly imprinted it in your mind."

Remember, don't even think about running away with Xiaowu, and there's no need for those futile struggles. Now, within the Valley of Love and Destiny, the only way to avoid suffering is to obey my orders.

As the golden light entered my body, the feeling of being bound disappeared.

Zhu Zhuqing stretched her delicate body, which had become somewhat stiff from being trapped for so long.

But the next second, when she perceived the specific content of the so-called "task" that appeared in her mind, she froze on the spot.

A blush quickly spread from her ears, and her heterochromatic eyes filled with shame and indignation as she abruptly questioned:

"Even if we wanted to confirm the boy's identity, wouldn't it have been easier to use bloodline attraction to sense him? Why go through all this trouble?"

At this moment, she began to wonder if the god of love in front of her had no intention of doing anything serious at all, but was simply having a fit of morbid pleasure, wanting to see her make a fool of herself and humiliate her.

But as soon as Zhu Zhuqing finished speaking, a sharp, stabbing pain, like being pricked by needles, suddenly shot through the depths of her mind.

The pain came without warning and was extremely intense, turning her face instantly pale and causing her legs to buckle, almost preventing her from standing.

"I've already told you to behave, why are you asking so many questions?"

Ning Rongrong's voice remained calm.

"Alright, time waits for no one, you should leave now. Once you're outside, someone will naturally guide you to where you need to go and what you need to do."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing bit her lower lip tightly and took a deep look at the God of Love who was still wearing a mask, making it impossible to see his expression.

He could only suppress his resentment and turn to walk out of the room.

Ning Rongrong only sat back down in her chair after she realized that Zhu Zhuqing had completely disappeared.

Beneath the mask, a complex expression flickered in those originally indifferent eyes, and a myriad of thoughts swirled in her mind.

"Man proposes, God disposes. The outcome is indeed not something you or I can decide right now. But for any story to develop to its end, there always needs to be a villain to drive everything forward."

I only hope that this desperate plan to save lives will ultimately succeed. I just hope that if you and Xiao Wu learn the truth in the future, you will understand the good intentions behind my actions.

In the end, all my thoughts turned into a sigh that no one could hear.

……

Inside the small world, the sun shines brightly and a gentle sea breeze blows.

"Wow, it's the real ocean!"

Xu Xiaoyan walked barefoot on the fine sand, looking at the sparkling blue sea in front of her, her face beaming with excitement.

"Hey Xiaoyan, aren't you from Donghai City? It's a coastal city, you should have seen this kind of sea view since you were a child, so why are you so excited?"

Dai Yun'er, standing to the side, couldn't help but roll her eyes, her tone revealing a hint of helplessness.

Ever since her harrowing experience of crossing the ocean with Huo Yuhao and suffering terribly from seasickness, she has lost all interest in the sea and even has some psychological trauma from it.

"Wow, this is different! What is this? This feels like a vacation. Of course, I have to express my feelings and add to the atmosphere!"

Xu Xiaoyan turned around and said with a grin:

"Furthermore, the website previously indicated that there was a sea in Qiankun Wenqing Valley, but that was just a relatively large artificial lake. How could it compare to the grandeur of a real ocean in this small world!"

After saying that, Xu Xiaoyan playfully stuck out her tongue, and without caring whether Dai Yun'er was willing or not, she reached out and pushed her towards the wooden houses not far from the beach.

"Alright, alright, Yun'er, stop spoiling the mood. Let's hurry up and change into our swimsuits! This is a rare opportunity, not only to enjoy the sun and sand, but more importantly..."

Xu Xiaoyan leaned close to Dai Yun'er's ear, lowered her voice, and said with a hint of slyness, "Now it's time to show off your charm in front of Teacher Lingbing."

Unlike girls who need to spend a lot of time carefully applying makeup, Huo Yuhao simply changed into a pair of black swimming trunks in the changing room, then walked out of the wooden house shirtless and stood on the beach.

A gentle sea breeze caressed him, while his eyes shimmered with a nine-colored halo as he carefully perceived the structure of this small world.

Even amusement parks created in relation to the main plane still have the same core formation engraved inside.

Even the thoughts of all living beings hidden in the void converged in a certain direction at the end of the sea.

Seeing this, Xiao Lan, who was standing to the side, stepped forward a few steps and respectfully asked in a low voice, "Mr. Lingbing, do you have any special needs or instructions?"

Before she left, Her Highness specifically instructed that whatever your request, as long as it is within our capabilities, we must do our utmost to fulfill it.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao glanced at Xiaolan out of the corner of his eye. At this moment, Xiaolan was constantly emanating a divine aura that was intertwined with gold and silver.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao immediately understood.

After all, their story had already been conveyed to the God of Love through Leng Yulai, so it was only natural that the other party would become curious and even personally observe.

However, Huo Yuhao was somewhat puzzled by this act of secretly observing through the maid's body.

He then half-jokingly probed, "I wonder just how big this sea is? If we were to cross it, what kind of scenery would we see at the end?"

Xiao Lan was clearly taken aback upon hearing this, while deep within her mind, Ning Rongrong let out a slightly amused chuckle.

"Heh, as expected of the successor chosen by those two god-kings, his keen perception is indeed extraordinary, able to perceive the essence of this small world at a glance."

However, if you really are that person, then in order for the story to begin smoothly, we should prepare a special prelude for you.

After this brief pause, Xiaolan readjusted her expression and replied somewhat awkwardly:

"Mr. Lingbing is joking. This is, after all, just a small world that exists in relation to the main space. Outside the ocean, it is naturally just a void."

However, to ensure the safety of tourists, the God of Love had already used his divine power to firmly surround it and form a barrier. Under normal circumstances, no matter how far one swims, they cannot get out, let alone see the scenery at the end.
