Douluo Continent: The Book of Witness and Peerless Tang Sect

Chapter 87 The Green Lake Cottage is Completed

Stepping onto the anti-gravity soul-guided skateboard, Bei Bei suppressed her trepidation and tried her best to maintain a posture that was both elegant and capable of counterattacking as she slowly glided into the emerald lake in front of her.

According to what Long You read in the Star Luo Empire's royal library, the flawless light does not attack those who have not provoked it and are not evil in nature.

But that's just a record from thousands of years ago in the library; who knows if it's accurate? And who knows what kind of person is considered to be of good character in the eyes of "flawless light"?

Bei Bei trusted Long You. He knew that Long You's martial soul possessed the ability to perceive, analyze, deduce, and witness. If there were any flaws in the contents recorded in the Star Luo Royal Family's library, this junior brother would never reveal them at this time.

Beibei also believed in himself. He believed that a Soul Master who possessed the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul, which could evolve into the Holy Light Dragon, absolutely conformed to the universal principle of a bright and righteous heart.

However, with all the beliefs combined, Beibei didn't want to change her current mindset, to take her destiny into her own hands, instead of relying on the habits and mindset of others (beasts).

Although Bei Bei admitted that he couldn't match his junior brother Long You's ability to think three steps ahead before taking action, as the senior brother, Bei Bei was never one to sit back and reap the rewards. Having learned from his mistakes, Bei Bei had matured considerably compared to over a decade ago when he, with only a single ring of cultivation, dared to recklessly drag his friends into the forest of captive soul beasts.

It must be said that the life force in this Emerald Lake is incredibly rich. Even just walking around there, Bei Bei felt that she could gain immense benefits from the soul power that she could automatically absorb, meditate on, and transform through the small light of her martial soul consciousness.

Although he didn't have the variety of reconnaissance drones that Long You had, Bei Bei could still see many clusters of soul power on the display screen of the tactical eyepiece by relying on the sonar-type soul guide device installed on the soul guide power exoskeleton.

Each ball of soul power represents a soul beast. Although these balls of soul power completely ignored his intentions, just looking at the density of these balls of light made Bei Bei's scalp tingle.

Having said she would stay inside for two days, it was clearly not Beibei's style to turn back now, but to keep moving forward, Beibei admitted that her heart wasn't big enough yet.

Slowly reducing the propulsion of the anti-gravity soul-guided skateboard, Bei Bei looked back at the lakeside. As far as the eye could see, even within the range detected by the soul-guided device, Zhang Lexuan and Long You were no longer visible. Although she knew that with her junior brother Long You's abilities, she was probably still within his surveillance range, Bei Bei decided not to proceed.

Rather than forcing herself to be calm and moving forward with trepidation, Beibei prefers to stay in this position where she can somewhat control her own destiny and wait for the right time.

This entire Emerald Lake is a realm of "flawless light." If one's character truly catches its eye, then wherever one is, what is rightfully one's own will surely be one's own.

The anti-gravity soul-guided skateboard drew a circular ripple on the surface of Emerald Lake, and Bei Bei began to take things out of her storage soul-guided device.

Beibei hadn't prepared any of those temporary campsites or villas in Longyou that could be set up in just a few minutes, either automatically or manually. But she did prepare a camping tent that could be used both on land and in water.

Sleeping outdoors was out of the question. On the way, Beibei picked a big bunch of wild peanuts, so he planned to make himself some peanut pudding to try. If it was good, he would make a bowl for Xiaoya when they got back to the academy.

[Zhang Lexuan's identity, though I don't know why, seems to be known to Xiao You. Xiao Ya, however, doesn't know yet. She should have already noticed the difference in my attitude towards her senior. I wonder if a bowl of delicious peanut pudding will cheer her up and lessen my suffering.]

The perspective shifts back to the lakeside. Although Beibei stopped after traveling for a while, it was still moving very fast when it first entered Cuihu Lake, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Trusting in the authenticity of the data he had examined about his martial soul, and also trusting in the strength of the senior sister of the inner court, Long You began searching for a new base after Bei Bei's figure disappeared and no battle fluctuations were heard in the distance.

It's not embarrassing to admit, but Long You, who grew up with running water and electricity at the touch of a switch, really isn't used to the wilderness. Even after living in this new world for over a decade, Long You still tries to enjoy life as much as possible.

For the past two days, there was no other way, so Long You made do with a small tent. Now that he has arrived in a "safe area," Long You can no longer "endure" the days without a "villa" to stay in.

After wandering around Emerald Lake for a while, Long You discovered a banyan tree that had grown into a forest by itself. After a careful and meticulous examination, Long You determined that the banyan tree was just an ordinary plant and not a plant spirit beast.

After wandering around among the aerial roots of the banyan tree, Long You once again took out a number of inscribed metal plates from his storage soul tool, which seemed to have no spatial limitations. Using these banyan tree aerial roots as support, Long You quickly built a three-story building.

The first floor remains the same, consisting of a dining room, kitchen, and a lounge; the second floor has two bedrooms with bathrooms and showers; and the third floor is a large observation deck.

Of course, Long You installed soul-guided display screens in every room. Although the information displayed on these screens was not as comprehensive as that displayed on the third-floor observation deck, and they did not have a corresponding control panel, they were still sufficient for observing the environment outside the room.

After setting up temporary accommodations for the next two days, he then deployed soul-guided detection devices extensively in the surrounding area. After working for a full forty minutes, Long You finally returned to the shores of Emerald Lake.

Even from some distance from Emerald Lake, Long You saw that tall figure in white standing on the lakeside like an old pine tree, gazing at the lake.

Long You paused for a moment, knowing Zhang Lexuan's feelings for Bei Bei, so he was unsure whether he should continue forward in this situation.

"Come here, it's quite quiet here. I have some questions for you."

Just as Zhang Lexuan said, the entire area around Emerald Lake was very quiet, completely unlike the Soul Beast Forest where roars of beasts rose and fell. Therefore, Long You's undisguised footsteps did not escape the notice of a Soul Saint who was carefully observing the surrounding environment.

"What does Senior Sister want to ask? Is it possible that I knew you were the Senior Sister of the Inner Court?"
