Douluo Continent: The Drunken Sword Immortal slaps Ning Rongrong in the face right from the start!

Chapter 9 First Encounter with Liu Erlong, Past Events

"You...you actually have a 100,000-year-old spirit ring!"

"So my ninth spirit ring must also be at the 100,000-year level, otherwise it would lower the grade. That's why I said you're not very useful. Your poison is just a bit of smog to a Title Douluo or a 100,000-year spirit beast. It's not easy for me to bring you along and carry a gourd of wine."

Dugu Bo: "."

He's a titled Douluo, yet his influence is less than a gourd of wine!?

How can anyone be so contemptuous?!

However, Dugu Bo also understood why the other party was able to pass through the poisonous fog and easily resist his poisonous attacks.

He was actually a Soul Master with a 100,000-year Soul Ring!

Dugu Bo coughed lightly twice to cover his embarrassment; he wasn't sure he would be of any use if asked to participate in hunting 100,000-year-old soul beasts.

"I'll owe you this favor for now, and I'll definitely repay it when the time is right!"

However, Dugu Bo's eyes kept glancing at Ye Yan's wine gourd, savoring the taste of the wine, wishing he could have another sip.

Ye Yan, on the other hand, had a casual attitude. He came here to make hangover soup and pick herbs for making medicinal wine. Saving Dugu Bo was just a side thing.

Moreover, sensing that Dugu Bo seemed to have designs on his wine, Ye Yan didn't intend to stay any longer. He left Dugu Bo to continue recovering.

After leaving the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, the number of spirit beasts around him increased without the protection of the poisonous fog, but they were all spirit beasts that posed no threat to Ye Yan.

"Split up! I'll distract it!"

Ye Yan didn't know how long she had walked when she suddenly heard a sound ahead. Then a figure rushed out, followed by a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, a fifty-thousand-year-old Titan Stone Bear. This kind of soul beast has top-notch defense.

With a flick of his black sword, Ye Yan severed the Titan Stone Bear's head from its body.

The person who had rushed out stopped and looked at Ye Yan in disbelief. He had actually killed the 50,000-year-old Titan Stone Bear with a single blow.

Ye Yan took a closer look at the woman in front of him. She had a tall and perfect figure, neither too fat nor too thin, with her legs being particularly eye-catching. Her black leather outfit also had an indescribable charm.

At this moment, Liu Erlong also came to Ye Yan to express his gratitude: "Thank you for your help. I am the dean of Lanba Academy in Tiandou City. I originally brought my students here to hunt soul beasts, but I did not expect to encounter a 50,000-year-old Titan Stone Bear."

Titan Stone Bear is a high-level soul beast, and it is also at the 50,000-year level. Even an ordinary Soul Douluo would not be able to face it alone. Liu Erlong is only a level 79 Soul Saint. The best way is for her to lure away Titan Stone Bear so that the students can escape first, and then she can escape.

Unexpectedly, he was killed by Ye Yan, who happened to be passing by!

However, as Liu Erlong approached, she smelled the alcohol on Ye Yan, and her goodwill towards him immediately decreased.

Who in their right mind would start drinking in broad daylight? Especially in this treacherous Sunset Forest!

However, Liu Erlong did not want to owe the other party a favor, and told him that he could come to Lanba Academy to find her anytime he needed her.

Just as Liu Erlong was about to leave, he discovered that the surrounding environment had changed. In the center of Sunset Forest, there was a layer of poisonous fog that had accumulated over the years. It was this layer of poisonous fog that made people easily lose their way, which is why many people kept their distance.

However, Liu Erlong didn't take it seriously at all because she relied on her special martial soul, and now she seems to have really lost her way.

It's okay, she can still fly!

Liu Erlong's martial soul is a giant fire dragon, which allows her to fly in the air for a short time, which is why she came to Sunset Forest with such confidence.

After saying goodbye to Ye Yan, Liu Erlong activated her Martial Soul True Body and flew into the air. But how could the poisonous fog of Sunset Forest be so easily broken?

Even in the air, it will be affected!

In particular, Liu Erlong inhaled the poisonous fog after taking to the sky, and she was poisoned.

boom--

A loud crash was heard as Liu Erlong fell from the sky.

Looking at the beauty in distress, Ye Yan thought he should still help her; all he needed to do was inject his soul power into Liu Erlong's body.

Although this method is slower to recover, it doesn't require using the medicinal wine he just prepared!

Poisonous fog began to envelop the forest, obscuring the sky and making it impossible to distinguish between day and night.

Ye Yan casually lit a fire and leaned against a tree to continue drinking. Liu Erlong also lay down beside him and didn't open his eyes for a long time.

"You saved me again," Liu Erlong said with a bitter smile.

She understood that she was still alive because the other party had saved her again, and she also realized that the danger of Sunset Forest was indeed well-deserved.

Ye Yan didn't answer her; he just drank silently by himself.

"You've been drinking. Has something sad happened to you?"

Having faced two life-or-death crises in one day, Liu Erlong, being a woman, also fantasized about how wonderful it would be if the person she loved were by her side at that moment.

Before he knew it, Liu Erlong had started to chat casually.

"I also experienced something incredibly heartbreaking before, which almost made me want to give up on life. Do you know that pain of having someone you love right in front of you, but being unable to be together?"

Liu Erlong recounted her past in the form of a story. She met the man she loved for life, only to discover on their wedding day that they were actually siblings. In the end, the man couldn't bear the pressure and ran away. Over the years, the woman had been searching for the man's whereabouts, and twenty years had passed without her realizing it.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yan exclaimed, "Wow, is this what they mean by lovers becoming siblings?"

After hearing Liu Erlong's story, Ye Yan finally spoke, saying, "Since this man doesn't love you, why are you so persistent?"

"Impossible! He loves me!" Liu Erlong exclaimed excitedly.

"Then let me ask you, you love him, you're willing to ignore the gossip of the world and love him regardless of everything, but what did he do? He abandoned you, disappeared for twenty years without a trace, and that was when you needed care the most."

Liu Erlong wanted to refute it, but she couldn't, because what the other party said was indeed true.

"Are you planning to wait for him your whole life? Just for a guy who abandoned you and disappeared for twenty years? Is it worth it?"

Ye Yan's probing question left Liu Erlong speechless, unsure of what she had been clinging to all these years.

Perhaps it was because of the depth of her love, or perhaps she wanted a happy ending for their relationship, but if she could, she would have hoped that he would have stayed that night to face the situation with her instead of running away.

Liu Erlong hugged her knees and buried her head, looking very pitiful.

Ye Yan sighed and handed over his wine gourd.

"At a time like this, drinking is the best thing to do. Here, have a sip."

Liu Erlong hesitated for a moment looking at the gourd in Ye Yan's hand, then snatched the gourd and gulped it down his throat.
