Douluo Continent: Starting from Awakening the Vermilion Bird Martial Soul

After all the dishes were served, Di Hong asked, "Do you have any rooms left?"

"Oh dear, what a pity, we only have one room left." The waiter smiled.

"Huh?" Di Hong looked at the waiter with a strange expression. What kind of trick was this? There weren't many people in the hotel.

Are you sure there's only one room left?

"Correct."

Disbelieving, Di Hong looked around again, confirming that there were fewer than twenty people in the entire hotel. He then looked at the waiter again.

"Are you really sure?"

"I'm absolutely certain. I'm a hotel employee, how could I not know how many rooms are left in this hotel?"

The waiter spoke with great certainty, but there was a strange look in his eyes as he looked at Di Hong. He thought to himself, "I've been so cooperative, why is this guy still so straightforward?"

He just couldn't understand how such a straightforward person could win over such a beautiful girlfriend.

He clearly misunderstood the relationship between Di Hong and Tang Yuehua. However, it was indeed hard not to misunderstand, since such a handsome man and beautiful woman appearing together would make anyone assume they were a couple.

Moreover, Tang Yuehua was wearing Di Hong's clothes.

Just as Di Hong was about to say something more, Tang Yuehua spoke up.

Are there any other hotels in town?

It was getting late, so they had no choice but to stay in the town for the time being.

"No, we're the only hotel in the whole town," the waiter said seriously. He was determined not to let this business slip through his fingers, and indeed, they were the only hotel left in the town.

Chapter 22 Haotian Sect

It was getting late, and there wasn't enough time to get to the nearest city. Even if Di Hong didn't consider himself, he had to think about Tang Yuehua. She wasn't a Soul Master and couldn't withstand the long journey.

They had no choice but to stay at this hotel, which only had one room. Di Hong gave it to Tang Yuehua, but he didn't mind. He spent the night cultivating and the night passed quickly.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Di Hong took Tang Yuehua to buy her a new outfit in the town. She couldn't keep wearing tattered dresses and make people think she was a beggar.

That night.

Di Hong sat cross-legged on the rooftop, cultivating, with Tang Yuehua's room below.

At this moment, Tang Yuehua was lying in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Above her sat a man cultivating.

Nothing dramatic happened that night. Di Hong cultivated peacefully all night. However, the hotel staff were speechless when they saw this. They had gone to such lengths to help, yet Di Hong was only focused on cultivation, leaving the beautiful woman alone in the room.

I really don't understand how a man like that can find such a beautiful girlfriend; it's enviable.

Early the next morning.

Di Hong went to buy a carriage, intending to try to send Tang Yuehua back to Haotian Sect today.

The Haotian Sect is only half a day's journey away. We need to send the person back quickly so he can return to Sunset Forest to search for the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye. This is a rare opportunity, and if we don't find it this time, who knows when the next chance will come.

Just to be on the safe side, after buying the carriage, he wrote another letter and put it into the soul guide device.

Back at the hotel, Tang Yuehua was already up. She sat by the window, wearing a light blue dress. Sunlight streamed through the window and fell on her. At that moment, she looked like a goddess descended from heaven, captivating everyone. People around her glanced at her from time to time, but no one dared to approach.

As everyone knows, she was accompanied by a Soul King-level Soul Master.

Strong capabilities can prevent a lot of trouble.

After breakfast, the two left the town in a horse-drawn carriage.

On the way to Haotian Sect, Di Hong picked up a book about medicinal herbs and started reading it. Tang Yuehua, who was in the carriage, looked at him with some curiosity.

"Are you interested in herbs?"

In her impression, very few Soul Masters liked to study these things. After all, in the eyes of Soul Masters, these things were far less important than improving their strength. Only a small number of Soul Masters liked to study them. For example, Yang Wudi of the Po Clan, one of the four single-attribute clans affiliated with the Clear Sky Sect, liked to study things like poisons to the point of obsession.

"I'm not particularly interested; I only study it occasionally," Di Hong said casually. He studied these things purely for the sake of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye; otherwise, he wouldn't bother looking at them.

If he were from the Spirit Hall, he wouldn't even need to look at it. He could just take Yue Guan with him. Others might not recognize him, but he would. His spirit is the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum.

However, since he was not from the Spirit Hall, he had to go to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well by himself and absolutely could not let anyone else know.

Tang Yuehua didn't ask any more questions. She and Di Hong weren't familiar enough to talk about everything.

The horse-drawn carriage left the town early in the morning.

In the afternoon, we arrived at a place surrounded by mountains.

Nestled among the mountains, a massive building, resembling a castle, stands tall, blocking the only entrance to the mountains behind. From a distance, it looks like a military fortress.

Above the main stone gate of the building are three powerful and vigorous characters.

[Haotian Sect.]

"The exceptional Battle Soul Hammer, the majestic Haotian Sect."

"This is indeed the number one sect in the world, truly extraordinary."

Just by looking at it from afar, Di Hong could feel the oppressive aura emanating from the Haotian Sect. The Haotian Sect was not yet in seclusion, so it was easy to find.

Tang Yuehua, standing beside her, said with a smile, "Let's go inside. You saved me and brought me back. I must thank you properly."

Di Hong shook his head in response to Tang Yuehua's invitation.

"No, I'm only seeing you off because someone asked me to. I won't go into the Haotian Sect."

"Now that I've brought you back and you're safe, it's time for me to go."

"That won't do," Tang Yuehua said anxiously.

"Although you were acting on someone else's behalf, you still saved me."

"Besides, even if no one entrusted you with this task, wouldn't you be able to save them if you encountered them?"

"Our Haotian Sect is not the kind of people who are ungrateful."

Di Hong still had no intention of going to Haotian Sect, but after thinking about it, he took out the letter he had written from his soul tool and handed it to Tang Yuehua.

Tang Yuehua took the letter, somewhat puzzled.

"If you really want to thank me, please help me send this letter back to the Kingdom of Silves."

"I have something else to do. Bye."

After saying that, he left directly. Tang Yuehua didn't even have time to say anything. Watching Di Hong's departing figure, she couldn't help but feel a sense of loss.

Suddenly, Di Hong returned.

Seeing him return, Tang Yuehua's disappointment vanished, replaced by joy.

"Are you coming with me to the Haotian Sect?"

“No.” Di Hong shook his head.

Then he took out the ashes of the deceased disciples of the Haotian Sect from his soul tool. Not long after he left, he remembered that the ashes of those Haotian Sect disciples were still on him.

After taking out the ashes, he realized there were too many. Looking at Tang Yuehua's somewhat thin and frail body, he put the ashes back into the soul tool.

"I'm giving you this soul tool; otherwise, it'll be inconvenient for you to carry the ashes by yourself."

After placing the soul tool in Tang Yuehua's hand, he turned and left, leaving Tang Yuehua standing there in a daze, holding the letter in one hand and the soul tool in the other, with a very strange expression.

"Does he really dislike going to the Haotian Sect that much?"

Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly remembered that Di Hong's clothes were still with her.

So she returned to the Haotian Sect with a letter in one hand, a soul tool in the other, and Di Hong's clothes draped over her arm. When the gatekeeper saw that only Tang Yuehua had returned, he was shocked. He knew that when Tang Yuehua went to Tiandou City, she had nearly thirty people with her.

Why is there only one person left now?

One disciple went to greet them, while the other went back to report.

Tang Yuehua returned alone, which quickly alarmed the Clear Sky Sect. After she explained the situation, everyone in the sect was furious. The disciples clamored to tear down the Spirit Hall, especially her second brother, Tang Hao. If it weren't for her eldest brother, Tang Xiao, stopping him, he probably would have gone to settle accounts with the Spirit Hall right now.

However, their father remained calm, even though everyone said it was the Spirit Hall that did it.

However, he knew that this was definitely not Qian Daoliu's doing. It must have been done by his subordinates on their own. Nowadays, Tang Chen, the sect leader of Haotian Sect, basically doesn't care about sect affairs anymore. He is in charge of all the affairs of the sect.

Tang Yuehua then mentioned that it was Di Hong who saved her and brought her back. He wanted to thank him, but unfortunately, Di Hong had already left, and he couldn't find anyone to express his gratitude to.

Emperor Hong's request had to be fulfilled, so after returning to the sect, Tang Yuehua arranged for someone to deliver the letter to the Kingdom of Silves.

Chapter 23 Ice and Fire Eyes

After sending Tang Yuehua back to Haotian Sect, Di Hong returned to Sunset Forest as quickly as possible, barely resting along the way.

It was already late when we arrived at Sunset Forest.

As night fell, the entire Sunset Forest was shrouded in darkness. Finding an open space, Di Hong took out a tent from his soul tool and set it up. Although he had given Tang Yuehua a soul tool, he didn't use it often.

He carried two soul tools, so it didn't affect his ability to rest in the wild.

He set up a tent and lit a campfire, then sat there alone to cultivate, but after a while he stopped.

Sitting by the campfire, adding firewood from time to time, his mind raced as he thought about the location of the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. In his previous life, when he watched anime, Dugu Bo lived on a mountain peak in Sunset Forest.
