Sunset Forest
The morning light scattered through the forest, and on a tree branch, a handsome man yawned and slowly woke up.
"Huh, where am I?"
Zhuge Lan looked up at the dense forest around him, a hint of confusion on his face.
He wasn't living with the Elephant Armored Academy, so why was there no one around, only trees? In a nearby bird's nest, two colorful little birds chirped, watching Zhuge Lan.
One colorful little bird even perched on his hair, picked out a few strands, and played with them.
"Huh, why do these two little birds look so familiar?"
He suddenly remembered something, then looked up.
In the dense jungle, there was vaguely a valley, filled with many colorful flowers, and a figure could faintly be seen picking flowers among them.
"Oh my, this is Sunset Forest."
Then he looked at the two colorful little birds and remembered that he and Su Biluo had found them together in a rainy forest and had fed them for several days.
Wasn't he near the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School? How did he get back to Sunset Forest?
He took out the Time-Space Brush from his spirit tool bag and checked it; it was still on cooldown.
A green figure quickly flew over from a distance. Upon closer inspection, it was Dugu Bo.
At this moment, Dugu Bo exuded an unfathomable aura, seemingly having gained a significant increase in his cultivation.
Dugu Bo asked in confusion.
"Zhuge Lan, didn't you go back to the Speed Clan? Why are you back again?"
Zhuge Lan gave an awkward smile; he also didn't know why he came here, but since he was here, he would make the best of it.
"Old Poison, the matters of the Speed Clan have been dealt with."
Dugu Bo's face showed a hint of a smile. Zhuge Lan was very reliable in his work, and he must have handled things very well.
"By the way, how is the Chaotic Poison Pill?"
Zhuge Lan said with a smile. This Chaotic Poison Pill was a reward from his system and was very precious; it should have brought about a huge improvement.
A vast spirit power instantly emanated from Dugu Bo. The surrounding forest was immediately pressed down by the powerful force, bending the branches.
A giant green venomous snake slowly appeared behind Dugu Bo, dozens of meters long. As the green venomous snake appeared beside Dugu Bo, the surrounding trees rapidly withered.
Over a dozen sharp thorns appeared on Dugu Bo's body and fiercely plunged into the ground, instantly creating large holes.
"See! Zhuge Lan, that Chaotic Poison Pill was so useful. It raised my strength to level 94, which is a powerful existence among Title Douluo, and my Spirit has been further improved. I might become even stronger in the future."
Zhuge Lan applauded Dugu Bo.
A level 94 Title Douluo could even fight against Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo. Moreover, Dugu Bo was his century-long enforcer. Thinking of this, he felt delighted.
"By the way, since you're back, why don't you go back and see your little lady?"
Zhuge Lan pondered for a moment and nodded. He was a good man, and since he was back, he certainly had to see his lovely Bìluò little beauty.
That Leng Xiaoxue really didn't understand romance. He had clearly shown so much goodwill, but she still rejected him in the end.
Next time they met, he might have to try some tougher methods to see if they would work.
Zhuge Lan and Dugu Bo quickly arrived at the valley.
At this time, this quiet valley was filled with various flowers blooming, competing for beauty, looking very beautiful.
He picked up a flower and asked.
"Old Poison, what kind of flower is this?"
"It's a Red Crystal Flower. It's said that after the flower blooms, it looks like a red crystal, very beautiful."
Zhuge Lan smelled it, and a fragrant scent entered his nose, a look of enjoyment on his face.
Dugu Bo picked a Red Crystal Flower and asked with a smile.
"Do you know the story of the Red Crystal Flower?"
Zhuge Lan's eyes lit up. Such a beautiful flower must have a beautiful story. He really wanted to hear such a story, so he asked.
"What story! Tell me."
Dugu Bo thought for a moment and said seriously.
"Once upon a time, there was a beautiful girl born into a noble family in Odin City. One of her family's servants was overworked, so the servant's child came to the noble family to be a servant."
Zhuge Lan sat down and listened carefully. This sounded like a fairy tale, but such things indeed happened in this World.
Then he listened quietly.
"This child accidentally offended the girl. According to the rules of the noble family, this child should have been killed, but the beautiful girl did not punish him and gave the boy a flower."
"The girl awakened her Spirit, which was also a beautiful flower. Almost no one knew this kind of flower. One time, the girl asked the boy what to name this flower. The boy thought for a while and named it Red Crystal Flower."
"As time passed, the girl became more and more beautiful, while the boy became very self-conscious. When he heard that the girl was going to marry another noble, the boy's heart broke, and he cried for three days in the stable."
"Finally, when the boy mustered up the courage to say goodbye to the girl, he heard that another noble's son, because the girl refused to marry him, had accidentally beaten the girl to death."
For some reason, a sorrowful atmosphere enveloped Zhuge Lan and Dugu Bo.
In Dugu Bo's eyes, tears were faintly falling.
Zhuge Lan roughly guessed that this boy was most likely Senior Dugu.
Then he heard Dugu Bo continue to speak.
"The boy felt like his World had collapsed, so he went to that noble family to demand an explanation from that noble's son and wanted to see the girl one last time."
A low sob sounded in Zhuge Lan's ear; he listened quietly.
"They didn't let him see her?"
"Yes, that boy awakened his Spirit and burned that noble family to ashes. He finally retrieved the girl, but the girl had already closed her eyes. After that, the boy carefully planted the Red Crystal Flower."
Dugu Bo turned his back to Zhuge Lan, and Dugu Bo's sobs could faintly be heard.
Zhuge Lan quietly looked at the Red Crystal Flower. He didn't expect there to be such a story. The boy in the story should be Dugu Bo. No wonder Dugu Bo hadn't looked for anyone else all this time; it turned out his heart was wounded.
At this moment, a girl quickly walked over and directly threw herself into Zhuge Lan's arms.
"Brother Zhuge, you're back! So fast!"
Zhuge Lan glanced at the girl in front of him; it was the beautiful Su Biluo. Her gentle and lovely little face looked so beautiful. He couldn't help but hug the little beauty in his arms tightly.
He would not let his girl be harmed, absolutely not.
