Douluo Dalu: The Legend of Heavenly Ruler

.

--- Chapter 65 ---

'What a surprise, to think he really got a title douluo as a subordinate.' Jin Eyu calmly thought while looking at Dugu Bo, who kneeled in front of Yunlong.

'Well, considering the other side is really in big trouble of losing a life, this brat really knows how to manipulate the situation to his own benefit.' He added while shifting his gaze at Yunlong.

Yunlong could feel the intent gaze from Jin Eyu's eyes, but he didn't mind the middle-aged man's look since he eventually obtained Dugu Bo's loyalty in his grasp.

'Well, now I only have to deal with the heaven dou auction house.' Yunlong thought while raising his gaze at the skies.

"Since you already become my subordinate, let's start your treatment too." Yunlong suddenly stated, to which Dugu Bo responded with an enthusiastic nod.

--- After the treatment ---

We can see Yunlong stared at Dugu Bo, who was sat cross-legged on the ground with his closed eyes.

"Thank you, young master." Dugu Bo said while opening his eyes and releasing a sigh of relief.

"It's okay. I am just helping my subordinate." Yunlong responded with a slight smile on his face.

Dugu Bo lightly laughed and noticed that his green hair has turned into dark brown, which happened because the poison in his body got cleansed.

"The only way to not died by this poison was by becoming stronger..." Dugu Bo whispered while remembering his father, who gave him an hourglass that let him know when he would die from the cursed poison.

"I already found the way, father." He added while making a bright smile on his face.

Yunlong stared at Dugu Bo for a while and said, "Well, you are good to go, but noted that Dugu Xin needs treatment to become healthy again."

"Mm, I'll remember." Dugu Bo replied while lifting his body from the ground and feels really refreshed.

"Also, I will take a few herbs from your garden." Yunlong suddenly said while walking away from him.

"Take as much as your can, young master. I am very grateful that you saved my family." Dugo Bo hurriedly stated, which makes Yunlong grinned inside of his heart.

"Is that so? I won't hold back then." Yunlong responded while walking toward the garden and collected a few heavenly herbs that increased someone's spirit energy.

Yunlong walked around the garden and noticed a few heavenly herbs taken by the protagonist of this world; red flower herbs with burning heat and icy bluegrass with extreme coldness.

"Infernal Delicate Appricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass," Yunlong whispered with a smile on his face.

With the ice and fire's help and these miraculous herbs, Yunlong will break through to the vajra body's sixth layer and gain heat and cold resistance.

"Also, where is that herb?" Yunlong's eyes scanned through the garden, searching for a specific herb that can probably increase his eyes' performance.

"Oh, there it is." He walked toward a delicate herb with a jade green body, but bizarrely at the plant's center, three white snow leaves.

Yunlong stared at the herb, which had a few water droplets in the center, and muttered, "The Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew."

"C-Can I help you?" Bai Xue's voice suddenly entered Yunlong's ears, making him chuckle because he can tell that she only wants to know what kind of herbs are in his hands.

"Are you done reading?" Yunlong asked the red-haired girl, who instantly shook her head in a bashful manner.

"I'm not done yet. There is so much information in this book." Bai Xue responded while hugging a thick book that Yunlong handed to her.

"Well, let's go back first," Yunlong said while walking toward the volcano, where he wants to plant these herbs' seeds.

After walked for a few minutes, Yunlong arrived at the place and noticed that Chu Xiaoyu and Yu Ning'er stared at the two colored ponds with an odd gaze.

"This pond is weird..." Chu Xiaoyu quietly commented with a calm expression.

"Mm, It's split into two parts," Yu Ning'er nodded her head in agreement and stared at the milky white spring and vermilion red spring that separated in one pond.

"Xiaoyu, Yu Ning'er." Yunlong's voice entered their ears, making the two maids immediately turned around and saw their young master.

"Young master." Chu Xiaoyu and Yu Ning'er bowed their bodies.

"Mm, you two can get up," Yunlong instructed while looking at them with an amused expression.

"Are you two curious about that pond?" He said while shifting his gaze at the pond, one of the three treasure bowls in this world.

Chu Xiaoyu and Yu Ning'er quietly shook their heads, which makes Yunlong confused because didn't they just got mesmerized by it a few seconds ago.

'Well, whatever.' Yunlong thought while walking toward the pond and planting a few heavenly herbs seeds, which will grow faster if planted near this small pond.

"Young master, what are you doing?" Yu Ning'er asked while weirdly looking at Yunlong.

"Planting some seed," Yunlong answered while shrugging off his shoulder, which makes her even more confused.

After planting the seed, Yunlong looks around to find Jin Eyu, who is surprisingly meditating below a shady tree.

"Do you need my help again?" Jin Eyu responded while opening his eyes, to which Yunlong responded with a shook of his head.

"Not really, but your job is not only to become my bodyguard, right?" Yunlong asked while looking at him, who suddenly chuckled when hearing his words.

"The plan is that I'm going to train you, personally." Jin Eyu truthfully answered while looking at Yunlong's eyes.

"But... Considering your strength and achievement, maybe I should change your original training plan." He added while remembering just how ridiculous it was for Yunlong to have a spirit rank of level 39 when he's only 8 years old.

"So, you are going to increase my training difficulty?" Yunlong suddenly stated, which makes Jin Eyu laugh because it's precisely what he thought.

"Well, I will start your training when we arrived at the star luo empire." Jin Eyu responded while taking out a gourd and start drinking.

'I will stay on the heaven dou empire for a week, so it's not gonna be that long.' Yunlong commented in his head while shifting his gaze at his new subordinate.

"Young master," Dugu Bo greeted while giving him a friendly smile.

"Hmm, where is Dugu Xin?" Yunlong asked because he didn't see Dugu Xin or Dugu Yan around here.

"I have brought them back to my cottage," Dugu Bo answered while pointing his finger at a small cottage near his garden.

"I see, good for him," Yunlong commented because Dugu Xin really needs to rest at the moment.

Dugu Bo nodded his head and noticed a few bumps near the two colored pond, where Yunlong planted the seeds of heavenly herbs.

"Young master. Did you plant something there?" Dugu Bo asked while shifting his gaze back at Yunlong.

"Yeah, I planted a few seeds that are useful for me," Yunlong replied while thinking about a few things.

"May I help you to take care of them?" Dugu Bo instantaneously suggested.

Yunlong stared at him for a few seconds and said, "Sure. I mean, those seeds are yours, to begin with."

----------

After a few short talks with his new subordinate, we can see Yunlong and his maids walked away from the sunset forest while Dugu Bo waved his hand.

"Let's go back. My sister is waiting for us." Yunlong said to his maids while looking at the skies, which already turned to orange.

They moved to the inn through a few small alleys, but a woman suddenly stopped in front of them to their surprise.

'Liu Erlong.' Yunlong thought while looking at the woman, who calmly stood in front of them.

Liu Erlong stared at Yunlong and said, "I finally found you!"
