"Dragon King's Revenge"

"Dragon King's Revenge"

The battle between Tang San and Dai Mubai counted as one of the memorable scenes, and it was also the first time Tang San lost a spirit fight indirectly.

Of course, Tang San himself would never admit defeat. He merely said that if it came to a fight to the death, he was confident he could perish together with Dai Mubai!

Despite Dai Mubai's manner of entrance, Tang San only regarded him as a respectable opponent rather than someone with a death wish. It was clear that Dai Mubai's "supporting character" aura was still quite strong.

As Neuvillette walked, he thought to himself. Then, he suddenly paused, vaguely recalling what had happened before. Could it be that Tang San had merely glanced at him and decided he had a death wish?

It really seemed quite possible. After all, Xiao Wu had shouted "handsome guy" beside him, stacking buffs. If Tang San's inner thoughts did not include a death wish, that would be stranger instead.

Didn't he see Tang San frown, his face turning as black as charcoal?

Well, Tang San's complexion had been somewhat dark to begin with, perhaps because he forged iron so often. Moreover, his current appearance resembled Tang Hao's. He was not ugly, but he was hardly handsome either—just very ordinary.

Thinking of this, Neuvillette shook his head helplessly, finding it somewhat amusing. Beyond that, he had no other thoughts.

He then continued toward the Rose Hotel.

"Hiss..."

The young girl in the distance drew in a sharp breath. She had truly never seen anyone as handsome as Neuvillette!

This was the first time in her life she had seen someone so handsome, and his temperament was utterly flawless as well.

He just seemed a little strange. Like her father, he liked carrying around a "cane."

After exhaling a breath of Stale Air, the girl quietly followed after him.

The girl wore a pale blue dress, its hem falling just past her knees and revealing her fair calves...

Not far from her, another pair of eyes stared fixedly at Neuvillette. However, this girl's thoughts differed from the first girl's. She was merely curious about Neuvillette.

After thinking it over, the girl dressed in black, form-fitting clothes quietly followed behind the two of them.

"Neuvillette, you really are popular with young girls!"

Suddenly, Focalors's teasing voice rang out in Neuvillette's mind, leaving him somewhat puzzled.

With his looks, wasn't it perfectly normal for young girls to like him?

Neuvillette had long grown accustomed to such things and did not find anything improper about them.

"Focalors, what do you mean by that..."

"Hm?"

Before Neuvillette could finish, he sensed something unusual himself. Fine, he understood now!

So, two girls had been secretly following him. No wonder Focalors had teased him.

Shaking his head helplessly, Neuvillette paid no attention to the little tails behind him.

"Focalors, say, if two elements with opposing attributes both take the form of water, can you absorb them?"

Neuvillette had actually wanted to ask Focalors this question long ago, but he had not been certain of his own speculation.

On Douluo Continent, where was energy most abundant and easiest to obtain?

Aside from Lake of Life, it would be the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had formed after the Hydro Dragon King and Fire Dragon King of the Douluo Continent's God Realm perished.

The water elemental power and energy within it were abundant. They should be able to replenish Focalors's energy.

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was divided into the Ice Spring and the Fire Spring. Neuvillette was certain that Focalors would be fine absorbing the Ice Spring, but what about the Fire Spring?

Although its energy took the form of water, the Fire Spring's true attribute should be fire. He did not know whether Focalors could absorb it.

"Water form? Opposing elements?"

Focalors was somewhat confused.

"Yes. One is ice, and one is fire."

"..."

If Focalors had a physical form now, the corner of her eye would probably twitch. How could ice and fire, two such attributes, both take the form of water?

Pure elemental energy?

"I cannot judge without seeing them first."

Still, she would most likely be able to absorb them. After all, she was the god Focalors!

After saying this, Focalors seemed to think of something else and continued, "Neuvillette, why do you always want me to form a human body?"

"I think things are very good as they are now!"

"Without the threat of Heaven's Law, and with the prophecy of Fontaine's destruction resolved..."

"Right now, I have no pressure at all. And you are taking me around to see this world. This is something I never would have dared imagine before."

Neuvillette: "..."

After becoming the Hydro Archon, Focalors had truly not enjoyed many peaceful days.

When Egeria passed the position of Hydro Archon and her divine power to Focalors, the responsibility of saving Fontaine had also fallen upon Focalors's shoulders.

"You, you wouldn't..."

Focalors's voice sounded somewhat strange.

"You wouldn't still be thinking about that, would you?"

"Things like a wife..."

Neuvillette: "..."

Ignoring Focalors's words, Neuvillette acted as though he had heard nothing and continued toward the Rose Hotel. Yet his slightly reddened ears betrayed him. Clearly, Neuvillette's heart was not calm.

Focalors: "..."

Good heavens, was Neuvillette really that persistent?

That whole short-lived wife business—after all these years, he was still thinking about saving his short-lived wife.

A short-lived wife equaled Focalors.

"This guy..."

Focalors murmured. Fortunately, she was still in her Oceanid form. Otherwise, her face would probably have turned red.

She had been a god for five hundred years, and trapped for five hundred years at the same time. For five hundred years, she had constantly thought about how to deceive Heaven's Law, exhausting herself physically and mentally.

When Focalors had first transmigrated, she had not understood much about love and romance.

Being reborn into a life far more exciting than before had already left Focalors deeply satisfied.

Although she could not leave Neuvillette's Sea of Consciousness for now, she could observe the outside world through him. There were no troubles, no invincible enemies, and no crises that could destroy everything at any moment. This was already far, far better than before.

As long as she accumulated enough energy, she could leave Neuvillette's Sea of Consciousness and take human form again.

Accumulating it slowly might take several hundred years, but that amount of time meant nothing to her.

With no sword hanging over her head, everything was well. What were a mere few hundred years?

But Neuvillette seemed to be in quite a hurry... Pfft...

"Could it be because I deceived him for five hundred years that he developed such strange thoughts?"

"Hmm~ Should I take human form or not? Revenge from the Dragon King..."

"How embarrassing!"

Focalors thought about many things, most of them concerning life after marriage. At the thought of the Dragon King's "revenge," she felt that taking human form could be postponed a little longer.

Besides, she still did not have enough energy...
