Douluo: The Unrivaled Demon Lord

Chapter 6: Siblings and Companionship, Farewell Gift
The air in the room was filled with a familiar fragrance, which was the scent of Han Ruoruo. It seemed that she had been waiting here for a long time.

After half a year of absence, Han Ruoruo's appearance had not changed at all, except that her face seemed thinner. Her originally smooth long hair had now fallen to her waist, but she had never had the habit of wearing her hair in a bun, so she just let it hang down behind her, looking a little lazy and casual.

"Yeah, after not seeing you for half a year, I didn't catch up with you in awakening your martial spirit..."

Han Ruoruo said softly, tucking a messy strand of hair behind her ear, with a hint of regret in her voice.

She attended every important moment in Shu Yan's life in the past six years, but this time an accident happened. No matter how hard she tried, she failed to make it.

Speaking of which, ever since she saw that newly born little fellow smile brightly at her at the Shu Family Manor six years ago, she had been deeply moved for some reason. In her spare time, she would always think of Shu Yan's smile, which was extremely pure and energetic, making her subconsciously want to protect it from being polluted and destroyed...

And in fact, she did so.

After that, she would take the initiative to go see that cute little guy whenever she had free time. Slowly, he occupied a huge place in her heart, as if he had become an inseparable part of her life. And this feeling gradually deepened during the six years of getting along with each other, and even began to change slightly as Shu Yan grew up...

Now, the little guy who used to only cry in her arms has grown up so much. Suddenly, countless emotions rushed over her, making Han Ruoruo inexplicably touched, and her expression became a little complicated...

Shu Yan didn't think much about it. Women are emotional creatures, and their moods change at any time. But he was never good at comforting others, so he simply changed the subject:
"Sister Ruoruo, do you have anything else to do this time? I remember Shrek Academy's holiday wasn't until now."

Han Ruoruo propped up her head and looked at Shu Yan, then nodded softly.

"I've accepted a mission to hunt down a pirate gang in the east of the empire. The mission will take two months, and since it's on the way, I'll come back to Lingdou City to see you."

Shu Yan understood. He knew that Han Ruoruo had been admitted to the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy a few years ago, and not long ago, she had won the championship of the previous Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition as one of the Shrek Seven Devils.

Now she has just turned twenty, but her cultivation has reached the level of a high-level Soul King. In another year at most, she will be able to break through and become a Soul Emperor.

"Is the mission difficult?"

After thinking about it, Shu Yan asked.

Han Ruoruo tilted her head and looked at Shu Yan, lost in thought for some reason. After a moment, she replied softly:

"It's okay, it's not a big deal, just a little troublesome."

After saying this, the two fell into an eerie silence again. Han Ruoruo, who had regained her composure, was the first to stand up and extend her hand to Shu Yan, then chuckled softly and said:
"Let's go shopping in Lingdou City with my sister. I finally came back. I have already left a letter to my uncle and aunt in advance. I will take A Yan out to play these days. Okay? Do you want to go?"

Shu Yan smiled and stood up, holding Han Ruoruo's slightly cold little hand, and then said:

"I can't ask for it."

……

For several days, Shu Yan followed Han Ruoruo around Lingdou City.

The elders of the two families have long been accustomed to the two of them behaving like this, and are too lazy to care. They are almost all happy to see it happen. After all, everyone knows that this will only benefit the two families and will not cause any harm.

……

The golden sun sets in the west, and the sky is filled with sunset glow.

In the top-floor restaurant of Douling Hotel, two figures, one big and one small, leaned against the metal railings, looking at the setting sun in the distant sky and talking softly.

"Ayan, I have to leave tomorrow."

Han Ruoruo pushed the hair away from her forehead and said with some regret.

She originally wanted to spend a few days with Shu Yan. Looking at his smile, she always felt that the fatigue and stress left by the all-out training in the past few years would be purified and released, allowing her to breathe freely for a short time, instead of bearing the pressure brought by carrying a heavy burden.

But she had no choice but to complete a mission. The few days she had left in Lingdou City were already the limit. If she stayed any longer, she was afraid she would not have enough time to complete the mission that she said was "a bit troublesome."

Shu Yan nodded in understanding.

Although Han Ruoruo had hidden it very well during their time together, the melancholy that shone deep in her eyes was unmistakable. It seemed she must be worried about something. "Sister Ruoruo, just focus on your own things. Don't always treat me like a child. Maybe in a few years, I'll be able to walk shoulder to shoulder with you."

Shu Yan smiled and said that his face perfectly inherited and integrated the advantages of his parents. It had both Shu Junyou's gentleness and handsomeness, and Yu Bingyan's boldness and nobility. The fusion of the two did not give people any sense of discomfort or strangeness, but instead made people unforgettable.

Han Ruoruo was a bit obsessed with looks, and she always liked to see him smile. Sometimes she would even ask "force" Shu Yan to smile for her, but this time she just smiled and pinched Shu Yan's cheek, then joked:

"He's a little devil, but judging by the potential our A-Yan has shown, he's indeed much stronger than his sister. But it won't be easy for you to catch up with her, so practice hard..."

Shu Yan let Han Ruoruo "ravage" his little face, and after a moment he chuckled and said:

"What if I catch up with my sister later? Will my sister give me a reward?"

The smile on Han Ruoruo's face grew wider, and there was a rare hint of playfulness in her tone.

"Of course, if A Yan can really catch up with me, I can give you anything you want."

"Really?"

"Sister never lies..."

Shu Yan just smiled and looked at Han Ruoruo without saying anything else.

Han Ruoruo probably never imagined that a joking promise would rewrite her entire life in the future and even cause the world to undergo earth-shaking changes.

……

The next morning.

Before Shu Yan could knock on the door, it was opened from the inside.

A familiar fragrance rushed into his nose. Shu Yan touched his nose and looked up to see Han Ruoruo wearing a green silk pajamas, leaning lazily against the door and looking at him.

Twenty-year-old Han Ruoruo has long passed her youthful period. Now, her whole body is filled with a unique temptation between youth and maturity. Her bone structure is extremely beautiful, and coupled with her skin as white and smooth as milk, she is a real snow beauty.

Unfortunately, she usually dresses conservatively, and I'm afraid only her closest people know what kind of charming body is hidden under this conservative dress.

As if she noticed Shu Yan's gaze, Han Ruoruo pulled up the straps of her pajamas, then snorted in annoyance and reached out to touch Shu Yan's forehead.

"What are you looking at, you little pervert..."

Shu Yan silently withdrew his gaze, then said softly:
"Sister Ruoruo, I have something to give you..."

Han Ruoruo snorted lightly, then pulled Shu Yan into the room and closed the door.

The furnishings in the room were as simple as ever, with a bed, a sofa, a dressing table, two chairs, and a few pots of flowers and plants on the balcony, and no other furniture.

The Shu and Han families were not far from each other, and the two families had always had a good relationship. Shu Yan had often visited the Han family since he was a child. Han Ruoruo's parents, the current head and mistress of the Han family, also loved Shu Yan very much. Han Ruoruo treated him like her own sister, and doted on him since he was a child. She often brought him to her room, so Shu Yan was naturally not unfamiliar with this place.

Shu Yan sat casually on the sofa. Han Ruoruo glared at him and then took away a few pieces of clothes scattered around.

Watching Han Ruoruo's actions, Shu Yan waited obediently for her to pick up the scattered clothes, and then took out a large golden flower from his ring-shaped storage soul guide.

The large golden flowers are pure golden yellow, and each piece looks natural, as if carved from jade, sparkling with a unique golden luster.

"Sunflower!?"

Han Ruoruo recognized this extremely precious herb, and her movements suddenly stopped, and then she cried out in surprise...

There's a problem with my bank card. I've received a text message from the signing site, but the signing may be delayed by a day or two. I'll have to deal with the bank card issue in the next two days. I'm so sad. The beginning of March has been extremely unlucky (╥╯﹏╰╥)
