Chapter 114 Night Talk
Chapter 114 Night Talk
Star Forest.
night.
"Fat man! Quick! Lend me some fire!"
Oscar kept rubbing his arms, his voice trembling.
The temperature difference between day and night in the Star Forest is huge, and the nights are particularly cold.
For an auxiliary soul master like Oscar, whose physical fitness is not good enough, it is especially difficult to be in the cold wilderness.
Ma Hongjun's first soul ring lit up, and he opened his mouth to spit out the pile of firewood. A ball of flame hit the firewood, and instantly, the wood was ignited.
The orange bonfire burned brightly, flickering on and off, dispersing the cold.
"Thank you, Fatty!"
Feeling the warmth of the flames, Oscar felt more comfortable and smiled.
"Little things!"
Ma Hongjun raised his eyebrows and replied.
Everyone sat down around the flames, especially Ning Rongrong, who felt much better next to the fire. She is also an auxiliary soul master, and the cold nights are a kind of torture for her.
Dai Yao took off his coat and put it on Zhu Zhuqing. This move made Dugu Yan, who was sitting next to him, a little envious.
"Don't you need it?"
Zhu Zhuqing raised his head, his eyes full of water, a little worried.
"I am an attack-type soul master with a strong body. This coldness has no effect on me."
Dai Yao smiled.
"Then I'm cold too, what should I do?"
Dugu Yan looked at Dai Yao teasingly, wanting to see what he would do.
She didn't want to embarrass Dai Yao, but Dai Yao gave Zhu Zhuqing clothes, which made her feel sour.
Dai Yao was speechless, Dugu Yan, why are you here to join in the fun?
He reluctantly touched the Ruyi Treasure Bag on his waist, and a set of cold-proof clothes appeared in his hand, and said angrily:
"Give it to you!"
"Okay! You actually still have so many clothes. You just wanted to show your courtesy to Sister Zhuqing, right?"
When Dugu Yan saw Dai Yao taking out a set of clothes, he immediately understood the meaning of Dai Yao's actions just now and said with evil intentions.
"What's wrong with me putting some clothes on my fiancée?"
Seeing everyone's gaze, he quickly handed the clothes in his hand to Dugu Yan and said anxiously:
"Hurry up and put on your clothes. I've given you clothes, so why can't I shut your mouth?"
Dai Yao felt a little embarrassed when his little thoughts were exposed. He saw Zhu Zhuqing's pretty face blushing slightly. He didn't know whether it was because of the bonfire or because of his own actions.
After discovering the soul bone of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, Dugu Yan stood firmly on his side, which moved Dai Yao quite a bit.
A girl is willing to risk her life for herself. He is not hard-hearted, and all the grudges between him and Dugu Yan have been forgotten.
Vaguely, he also began to care about Dugu Yan's mood.
In the past, he would have been too lazy to care about Dugu Yan's request.
"Hey, what's wrong with me?"
"I just want to give these girls a warm home!"
Dai Yao thought silently.
"What a playboy! As expected, he is just like Dai Mubai. He is worthy of being two brothers!"
Xiao Wu pouted and complained to Tang San beside her.
Tang San smiled slightly and didn't answer.
In his heart, Xiao Wu is enough for him.
After the duel with Dai Mubai, Dai Yao used an excuse to stay because he was plotting against Tang Shenwang's eight soul bones.
Looking up at the moon hidden among the branches, he thought with some emotion:
"Hey, when will this Titan Ape come? I remember the plot after Oscar obtained the third soul ring, when the Titan Ape kidnapped Xiao Wu."
"I don't know how long it will take. Is it possible that I have to stay with them for a few more days?"
While she was thinking, a voice woke him up.
"Dai Yao, come here."
Everyone was startled. They followed the sound and saw that Dai Mubai was holding a thick tree and shouting to Dai Yao with a complicated expression.
They were all a little confused, but after thinking about it, they realized that they were two brothers after all, and there were some things they couldn't let others hear.
Dai Yao got up and went to the forest, which was far away from the bonfire and no one else could hear his words.
"Is there a problem?"
Dai Yao looked at Dai Mubai who lowered his head and said nothing and asked.
Dai Mubai sighed, his eyes flickered, and he said with some envy: "With your current strength, I'm afraid even Davis is no match for you."
"It seems that the position of emperor of the Star Luo Empire belongs to you."
"As the emperor, I have the right to decide the fate of the remaining princes. Any method can be used to obliterate, imprison, or abolish their soul power."
After saying this, Dai Mubai's tone became trembling, as if he was pleading.
"It's just that I want to ask you to let go of my fiancée Zhu Lu. She is innocent. The only thing she did wrong was that she followed me."
As the prince of Xingluo, he has the same fate as Dai Yao.
Therefore, his feelings for Dai Yao are extremely complicated, including sympathy, anger at his fiancée being robbed, and hatred from his competitors.
Hearing Dai Mubai's words, Dai Yao was a little touched. A somewhat responsible man, he smiled slightly, patted Dai Mubai on the shoulder and said:
"You don't have to beg me. I have left the White Tiger Family and am destined not to become the emperor of the Star Luo Empire, so I can't decide your fate."
Dai Mubai suddenly raised his head and said in disbelief:
"What did you say?"
"I said, I am no longer a member of the Dai family!"
Dai Yao's tone was calm.
Seeing Dai Yao's nonchalant look, Dai Mubai angrily grabbed Dai Yao's collar, his eyes full of anger:
"You are a member of the White Tiger family! You have the blood of the White Tiger! How dare you say that you left the White Tiger family so easily!"
Dai Yao pulled Dai Mubai's hand away and threw it away, causing Dai Mubai to stagger and said in a cold tone:
"Don't mention anything about the White Tiger family to me! You like to be unyieldingly loyal to the Dai family after being abused by them, but I'm not!"
"Besides, as far as I am concerned, your mother and I have a deep blood feud. If I become a titled Douluo in the future, it would be a good thing if I don't bloodbath the Xingluo Palace. How dare you mention the White Tiger Family?"
Dai Mubai's expression suddenly froze, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back, with a frightened look on his face, and his eyes widened as he looked at Dai Yao.
Dai Yao adjusted his collar, glanced at Dai Mubai, and said coldly:
"So you still have a chance. If you want you and Zhu Lu to survive, you can either ask your cheap brother Davis to see if he will give you a chance to survive; or you can work hard on your own, inherit the throne of the Star Luo Empire, and control your own destiny."
"That's all I have to say, so you can do what you want."
Dai Yao patted the dust on his body, added with cold eyes, turned around and walked towards the bonfire.
Dai Mubai leaned against the tree trunk, feeling extremely confused.
Dai Yao's attitude towards the White Tiger family shocked him greatly. He never thought about betraying Xing Luo. Even if Davis finally became the emperor and wanted to execute him, he would just kill him at the neck.
"But my mother is the queen of the Star Luo Empire. How could I betray her?"
His situation is different from that of Dai Yao. Dai Yao is alone and has nothing to worry about. Rebellion from Xingluo just depends on whether he wants to.
And he was born to the queen, who held a very important position in his heart. There was no way he could break with the Baihu family like Dai Yao did.
However, after thinking that there was no competitor like Dai Yao, some hope arose in my heart.
"Although there is a slight gap between me and Davis, I still have hope of winning, right?"
After thinking about this, he returned to the campfire with heavy steps, said hello to his companions, opened the tent curtain, and prepared to rest.
"What's wrong with Boss Dai?"
Oscar looked at Dai Mubai's lost look, touched the fat man next to him with his elbow, and asked.
"It must have something to do with Dai Yao's conversation."
Ma Hongjun glanced at Dai Yao opposite him with his peripheral vision and replied in a low voice.
Soon, this topic was dropped and everyone started chatting about other topics.
Dai Yao, Zhu Zhuqing, and Dugu Yan were chatting, laughing and joking from time to time. Tang San and Xiao Wu were whispering to each other, and Oscar continued to lick Ning Rongrong.
Zhu Lu rested with Dai Mubai, leaving Ma Hongjun alone with a lonely sigh.
During the conversation, Zhu Zhuqing and Dugu Yan learned that Oscar was an auxiliary soul master with innate soul power, and immediately looked at him with shocked eyes.
In the original work, Oscar is the only one who truly has the ability to become a god by his own strength.
So Dai Yao praised:
"There is no precedent for an auxiliary soul master with innate soul power. Your achievements are immeasurable, and you may be able to replace Qibao Glazed Pagoda as the number one auxiliary soul master."
Hearing Dai Yao's praise, Oscar smiled, waved his hands modestly and said: "Where, where."
Ning Rongrong stood up suddenly. Oscar thought that Dai Yao's words had made Ning Rongrong angry. When he was about to explain, he saw Ning Rongrong biting her lips and said to Dai Yao with a complicated expression:
"Dai Yao, can you come with me?"
Oscar was stunned, pointed at Dai Yao and Ning Rongrong, and said in an uncertain tone:
"You two know each other?"
Dai Yao nodded and followed Ning Rongrong away from the crowd.
Looking at the two people leaving, Oscar was absent-minded, occasionally glancing at the two figures in the forest.
"Don't worry, the relationship between the two of them is not what you thought."
Dugu Yan said with a smile.
"Then they are?"
Oscar's tone suddenly rose, wanting to find out the relationship between Dai Yao and Ning Rongrong.
"If you want to know, ask Ning Rongrong yourself."
Dugu Yan fiddled with his nails and said nonchalantly.
Although Oscar didn't get an answer, he was relieved and no longer so anxious.
in the forest.
Away from the bonfire, the chill hit her immediately. Ning Rongrong couldn't help but tremble, and her breath condensed into mist.
Seeing this, Dai Yao touched the Ruyi Treasure Bag, took out a piece of clothing to keep out the cold, and handed it to Ning Rongrong.
"Put it on, it will feel better. Otherwise Uncle Ning will blame me again."
He said helplessly.
"Not long ago, Uncle Ning told me that you were missing. I didn't expect to meet you here."
Ever since Dai Yao gave Youxiang Qiluo Gold to Ning Fengzhi, Ning Fengzhi treated him like his own son.
Although he didn't go to the Qibao Glazed Sect often, his relationship with Ning Rongrong didn't improve much. He wasn't used to Ning Rongrong's faults and would directly attack anyone he didn't like.
Dai Yao was the benefactor of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, and both Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo were helpless against his behavior.
The two of them even got into a tense situation for a while, but with Ning Fengzhi's mediation, things got a little better.
"Thank you."
Ning Rongrong hesitated again and again, took the clothes and put them on.
Hearing Ning Rongrong say thank you to him, Dai Yao was slightly stunned. He couldn't believe that this was the little witch from the Qibao Glazed Sect who had been fighting against him.
Seeing Dai Yao's disbelieving expression, Ning Rongrong was furious:
"I want to say thank you, why are you making that expression!"
Dai Yao chuckled:
"This is the little witch I know."
"Tell me, what do you want from me? Although our relationship is not good, for Uncle Ning's sake, I can still help you."
Upon hearing the words "little witch", Ning Rongrong's mood instantly dropped.
Dai Yao noticed something strange about Ning Rongrong and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Ning Rongrong's eyes flickered, she bit her lip, hesitated for a long time, and then said:
"Do you think I'm really a little witch? Am I really that annoying?"
Hearing Ning Rongrong's words, Dai Yao suddenly remembered the plot in the original work.
After coming to Shrek, Ning Rongrong could no longer hide her true nature as a witch. After the other six Shrek monsters saw her true face, they began to distance themselves from her.
Before coming to the Star Dou Forest, she even threatened to hire Tang San to kill Dai Mubai, and the conflict reached its peak.
After thinking clearly about the cause and effect, Dai Yao leaned against the tree trunk, looked at Ning Rongrong with a profound look, and said in a low voice:
"Do you want to hear the truth?"
"Of course!"
Ning Rongrong nodded firmly.
Dai Yao sighed, stared into Ning Rongrong's blue eyes, and said, "Since you want to listen to the truth, don't be angry no matter what."
"Ok!"
"For you, your coquettishness and willfulness are understandable."
"Who are you? The princess of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, one of the most noble people on the continent, and she is beautiful and highly talented. She has the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Spirit and a ninth-level innate soul power."
"Whatever you want, the people around you will try their best to get it for you. Even if you want the stars in the sky, others will find a way."
"What do they do for? Just for the smile you get when you get what you want."
"Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, these two titled Douluo love you as if they were your own granddaughters. They are the people with the highest martial arts in the mainland. If you want to pull their beards, you can pull their beards. In front of you, they have no ability to be titled Douluo." The image speaks for itself.”
Hearing this, Ning Rongrong was very confused:
"Then why do the people I meet now hate me?"
Dai Yao smiled and shook his head. Ning Rongrong was still just a twelve-year-old child at this time, and explained:
"They are different. Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, and Sect Master Ning love you because they are your elders; those who compliment you do so because you are the princess of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, because of your identity, your Talent, they ask for it from you.”
"And those people sitting around the campfire, they have nothing to ask of you, and they are no less talented than you."
"Therefore, if you treat them the same way you treat the people in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, it will definitely be annoying."
"They have another name - friends."
"friend?"
Ning Rongrong was thoughtful, her eyes gradually brightened.
"The so-called friends are friends who can help each other in times of difficulty, rely on each other in times of danger, and share joy in times of victory."
"Only by treating each other sincerely can we gain the sincerity of friends."
Dai Yao explained.
"If you are still aloof and bossy, who will want to be your friend?"
After hearing Dai Yao's words, Ning Rongrong lowered his head and remained silent for a long time. His long hair was disheveled and his expression could not be seen clearly. Tears like pearls fell to the ground.
"If crying makes you feel better, then cry."
Dai Yao folded his arms and leaned against the tree. Seeing Ning Rongrong crying and starting to reflect on himself, he chuckled and said happily.
Hearing the cry, everyone around the campfire looked at each other with confusion on their faces, especially Oscar, who stood up suddenly and wanted to see what happened.
Tang San held him back, shook his head and said, "Oscar, we know your feelings for Ning Rongrong, but if you rashly interfere, it will be self-defeating."
Oscar gritted his teeth and stared in the direction of Dai Yao and Ning Rongrong. He sighed and sat down helplessly.
The crying gradually weakened, Ning Rongrong's eyes were red, her voice was gentle but firm, and she said to Dai Yao:
"I'm sorry. I apologize for the wrong things I did to you in the past three years."
"I don't care. If you really want to be friends with them, you need to apologize to them."
Dai Yao held his head in his hands and accepted her apology.
"Well, I will."
Ning Rongrong's eyes were extremely serious.
At this moment, Dai Yao's hair stood on end, his veins popped out, and his heart beat violently.
He suddenly raised his head, and a huge thing like a mountain appeared in the dark night.
A pair of huge eyes, like a pair of big lanterns in the darkness, and the sound of breathing is like muffled thunder.
"This is?"
The aura of the apex predator made Dai Yao dare not move. Thinking of the original novel, he immediately understood what kind of creature it was.
The King of the Forest - Titan Giant Ape!
