Chapter 230: Second World Shocking News (1/2)
The radiant sun rose, as light descended upon the mist free mountains, with no clouds hovering above. The mountain was silent, with no animals or soldiers emitting any sounds from them still knock out from yesterday producing a sort of tranquility.
Tang Wulin opened his eyes to the feeling of warmth, as he felt his arms encircled around a soft figure. His eyes traveled down, the beautiful lavender-silver hair occupied his sight before he saw Gu Yue sleeping face.
Her head was rested on his chest, as her arms were laid on his body while breathing in and out softly with a faint smile.
Gu Yue was beautiful, even before her transformation. Her beauty and prettiness didn't come from her figure or face but her presence.
A commanding, yet gentle presence that one couldn't help but be drawn into if noticed by her.
While gazing at the faint smile on her face, Tang Wulin felt warmth spreading through his body. Then that warmth turned into a special feeling, a feeling that could describe as peaceful and contentment.
For this reason, he began ingraining her image inside of his memories. The image of her silvery hair, the faint smile on her face, peaceful look on her face, and the way her head lay against his chest.
For he knew or maybe it was a feeling? That it would be a while before something like this can happen again.
'Good times can't last forever.' Thought Tang Wulin with a bittersweet sigh as he knew they had things to do.
With a soft nudge of his head, rubbing of her face and causing her to scrunch her face, as if in dissatisfaction. Gu Yue was woken up by Tang Wulin who had a faint smile on his face with a bit of reluctance flashing through his eyes.
A flash that she wasn't able to catch.
”Its morning already?” Questioned Gu Yue as she began to rub her eyes, with a bit of displeasure in her tone.
She slightly glared through the window, as if the morning sun was the existence that came and destroyed her only sanctuary. Tang Wulin's eyes flashed with amusement before moving towards her soft lips.
Gu Yue wasn't able to react in time before she felt Tang Wulin lips on hers, then she felt the world fade away. It was slow and soft, comforting her in ways that couldn't be explained through words.
She felt him moving closer to her, to the point she could feel the beating of his heart against her chest. Three hearts were beating in a soft and serene rhythm, as she felt him holding her tighter and tighter.
Once they parted, she saw his golden-blue eyes; she couldn't help but quiver as her heart was softening even more. She moved her hand on his face, slowly caressing it, as she began wondering.
'How good it would be to simply lie back down.' Thought Gu Yue as her eyes slightly soften but then she only sighs.
'But we all have things we must do.'
”Are you going back to the Spirit Pagoda?” Questioned Tang Wulin as he gazes at her.
”Yes. My Master will get worried if I don't come to her soon.”Said Gu Yue as she let out a faint yawn before gently pushing herself off Tang Wulin's chest.
Tang Wulin didn't stop her as he saw her moving across the room before stopping. She glances back at him with myriads of emotions lashing through her eyes before smiling tenderly.
”Thank you.”
Was the last word Tang Wulin heard before the space in front of Gu Yue was open and she walk through it.
Tang Wulin didn't say anything as he held his gaze on the spot she was at for a bit before going back to cultivating.

In the next two days, Tang Wulin didn't leave his room as he continues absorbing the essence inside of him to reach the next rank. While he was doing this, the abyssal creatures one again resume their attacks on the Douluo plane.
Yet it wasn't similar to the tides before, as only those below rank 2 were rushing out of the passages. This wasn't a problem to the Blood Battalion Soldiers, as this meant they wouldn't be too pressure taking on these foes.
It was only Tang Wulin who was a bit disappointed at the lack of abyssal creatures that were truly strong. He still helped to clean out the passage for the next few days before getting ready to leave with the others.
”You sure you don't want to stay here a cultivate?” Questioned Zhang Huanyun with a faint smile.
Cultivating in the Blood Battalion, barracks weren't a bad thing, in fact; it may be the best and securest place for Tang Wulin.
As it was a place where not many would attack or risk coming. Combine that with the abyssal creatures who Tang Wulin could use to increase his cultivation speed.
It wasn't wrong to say, that this was the best area for Tang Wulin. But staying in the army wasn't something that Tang Wulin desired.
Not only did he have other responsibilities but he had to see the result of some of the things that were planned while he was away.
”No.” Said Tang Wulin causing everyone's lips to twitch.
They all had said their goodbye before they began descending the mountain. The ones who were seeing them off was Cao Dezhi and Zhang Huanyun.
”You want to retire.” Said Cao Dezhi with a chuckle causing Zhang Huanyun to sigh.
”Like you don't want to. Just when I found the perfect person.”Mutter Zhang Huanyun causing Cao Dezhi to shake his head.
”Come now, we are all in this together.” Said Cao Dezhi with a smile causing Zhang Huanyun to glare at him.
”Scram.”
Cao Dezhi chuckles before he turned around and began moving towards the abyssal passage causing Zhang Huanyun to arch a brow.
”Where are you going?”
”I need to go investigate that report we got from Qiangu Dongfeng. If what he said was true, then this area may not be the only risky place.”

East Sea Academy, one of the only places that weren't damaged when the Calamities rampage through the world.
A place that also recently gained tremendous fame over the years. From them having students that were able to get into the prestige and number one school, Shrek Academy.
To have those same students being eligible to become one of the Seven Devils of Shrek Academy, to them becoming one.
These two feats enough were able to skyrocket the academy to fame. With many applicants applying to the school, to the joy of the Vice-Principal and Principle.
