Chapter 722: Dragon Tomb (1/2)

After White Three and Tang Wulin had proven to be the same person, the guilt Dai Yun'er had harbored in her heart toward Tang Wulin was wiped away. As such, she was suddenly feeling much much better than she had for a long time as she'd finally let go of something that had been weighing on her this entire time. On top of that, she'd thought through many things, and become a braver version of herself as she was able to identify and admit some things to herself. She was a brave girl, and in the face of her courage, nothing else was a big deal.

The indescribable barrier between the two of them seemed to have been torn down after Tang Wulin had removed his mask.

”You're not bad when you're being all pleasant and docile like this,” Tang Wulin mused.

Dai Yun'er pursed her lips with disdain, and said, ”Don't call me docile; you're making me sound like some kind of small animal.”

Tang Wulin burst into laughter upon hearing this. ”Well, you're a h.e.l.l Civet, aren't you? Speaking of which, I have a little sister who's also very beautiful.”

Dai Yun'er asked, ”You have a little sister? What's her name?”

Tang Wulin replied, ”Her name is Na'er. We share a really close bond, and she's currently studying at Shrek Academy. She's more powerful than I am and she possesses superior apt.i.tude as well. Her teacher is the master of the Sea G.o.d's Pavilion.”

”Your little sister is even stronger than you? I don't believe that for a second.” Dai Yun'er pursed her lips in a skeptical manner. Big brothers were always overly generous with their praise toward their little sisters; this was something she knew from personal experience.

Tang Wulin smiled, and said, ”If you ever get a chance to visit the Douluo Continent, I can introduce her to you.”

”I'd love that!” Dai Yun'er smiled, and replied, ”You better keep that promise!”

Tang Wulin replied, ”Well, you'll have to come to the Douluo Continent first! You're the princess of an empire, and aren't you about to get engaged? Would your father let you go somewhere so far away?”

Dai Yun'er suddenly stopped before appraising Tang Wulin with an intense gaze. ”Are you that eager to see me get married?”

A wry smile appeared on Tang Wulin's face at the sight of her sudden mood swing. ”That's not what I meant; this is completely up to you.”

”No, it's up to you as well,” Dai Yun'er said in a serious manner.

Tang Wulin was rather perplexed. ”How is this up to me?”

A vibrant smile suddenly appeared on Dai Yun'er's face, but for some reason, Tang Wulin could feel chills running down his spine at the sight of her smile.

”If you want me to get engaged, then I'll get engaged,” Dai Yun'er said with a smile before skipping on ahead like a cheerful little bird.

Tang Wulin was left scratching his head in confusion. What was that supposed to mean? Her mood really was as fickle as the weather.

With the guidance of Dai Yun'er's spiritual detection, the two of them continued on toward the center of the Dragon Valley.

During their journey, the number of dragon souls they encountered decreased drastically, but every dragon soul they encountered thereafter belonged to a true dragon.

Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon King bloodline really began to s.h.i.+ne at a time like this; even the most powerful true dragon souls would completely relinquish all resistance after hearing a golden dragon roar. However, Dai Yun'er was unable to absorb these true dragon souls.

As soon as Dai Yun'er tried to approach them, they would immediately retaliate in a fit of fury, but they simply allowed Tang Wulin to absorb them as if that was how things were supposed to be in the first place.

After absorbing his seventh true dragon soul, Tang Wulin finally arrived at the edge of a valley.

The valley was like a ma.s.sive bowl that had sunken into the ground, and it was technically more of a basin than a valley. When Tang Wulin and Dai Yun'er made their way over to the edge of the valley before casting their eyes downward, both of them instantly shuddered at the sight that they were greeted by.

The valley stretched as far as the eyes could see, and it was entirely filled with a faint mist.

However, in the visible parts of the valley, countless ma.s.sive skeletons could be seen strewn all over the ground. In the instant that Tang Wulin witnessed this harrowing sight, an indescribable sense of grief immediately welled up in his heart.
