Titan Giant Ape

In fact, Lu Yuan was quite understanding of Tang Hao's decision to follow them.

In the original novel, after Tang Hao taught Zhao Wuji a lesson and gave Zhao Wuji some pointers, he left. He was relatively at ease because he had entrusted Tang San to Zhao Wuji and Flender.

That's why he left so decisively!

However, he had no conversation with Zhao Wuji, Flender, and the others before being severely injured by Long Xiaoyao.

With Lu Yuan as an unstable factor, Tang Hao naturally couldn't put his mind at ease. After all, Lu Yuan had a history of seriously injuring Tang San, and he himself had been taught a lesson by Long Xiaoyao that left him half-dead.

Tang San is Tang Hao's only hope now, so naturally he can't abandon Tang San's safety. The Star Dou Great Forest so dangerous, and with Lu Yuan and Long Xiaoyao following along, it would be strange if Tang Hao could put his mind at ease, given his personality.

Although he was no match for Long Xiaoyao, he was still able to stop Long Xiaoyao by using the Ring Detonation, thus allowing Tang San to escape safely. Perhaps this was Tang Hao's true intention.

Although for Tang Hao now, Ring Detonation would be tantamount to death.

Lu Yuan thought to himself.

"My lord, should we take this old man away to deal with him?" Long Xiaoyao asked.

Tang Hao thought he had hidden himself well, but little did he know that his whereabouts had already been discovered by Long Xiaoyao. Trying to play tricks under the nose of the Ultimate Douluo was like showing off one's skills in front of Guan Yu—overestimating one's own abilities.

However, it's also possible that Tang Hao himself knew that Long Xiaoyao would discover his whereabouts, but for Tang San's sake, he had no choice but to come because he couldn't bear to leave him.

He probably thought that he was just a crippled body, and if he died, so be it, as long as Tang San was alright.

This situation is not impossible!

Lost in thought, Lu Yuan's mind wandered.

Thinking about Long Xiaoyao's words, Lu Yuan shook his head and said, "Forget it, as long as he doesn't cause trouble, we don't need to pay any attention to him!"

"Yes, my lord!" Long Xiaoyao replied.

"Yes, Old Long, I'll have to trouble you to protect me for a while. I have a feeling something will happen!" Lu Yuan winked at Long Xiaoyao and said.

"Yes, my lord!" Long Xiaoyao instantly understood Lu Yuan's meaning. Now that the rabbit Xiao Wu had arrived, the gorilla and the bull python would definitely make a move.

After all, the aura of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast is extremely unique, and they must have sensed it as soon as the little rabbit entered.

Just as conspicuous as the aura of the Golden Dragon Bloodline, Di Tian Di Tian might already sense Lu Yuan's arrival, but without Gu Yuena's orders, he can't do anything.

Thinking of Gu Yuena, Lu Yuan stroked the Silver Reverse Scale on his chest. He didn't know why, but he always wanted to see her. However, if he went to see her, what about Zhu Zhuqing's safety?

Lu Yuan had to abandon this thought; Zhu Zhuqing's safety was more important.

"Then, my lord, I shall take my leave!" Long Xiaoyao said.

"Okay, go ahead!" Lu Yuan nodded.

With the removal of the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, Long Xiaoyao's figure suddenly vanished.

Then the blue light flashed again, enveloping Lu Yuan and Zhu Zhuqing.

Gently stroking Zhu Zhuqing's pretty face, Lu Yuan said softly, "Now that you're awake, stop pretending to be asleep!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing immediately opened her beautiful eyes.

"You heard everything?" Lu Yuan asked with a smile.

"Mm!" Zhu Zhuqing nodded gently.

"Is that the Dragon Emperor Douluo?" Zhu Zhuqing asked.

"Yes, he has been protecting us in secret all along," Lu Yuan said.

"He's been there the whole time?" Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful eyes widened, a hint of shock in her bright eyes as she asked, "Then last night, he was there too?"

The thought that someone had been secretly watching what she and Lu Yuan did last night made Zhu Zhuqing feel extremely uncomfortable, as if she were mortified and wanted to die.

"Of course not. Old Long wouldn't be the kind of person to peek at something like that. He's very disciplined!" Lu Yuan said with a smile.

"Really?" Zhu Zhuqing's expression softened considerably after hearing Lu Yuan's words.

"Of course!" Lu Yuan gently pinched Zhu Zhuqing's delicate nose and said, "Otherwise, let alone you, even I would be very embarrassed. How could I let others see something like this!"

"That's more like it!" Zhu Zhuqing muttered softly.

"Clear Sky Douluo has been following us all this time?" After a moment of silence, Zhu Zhuqing asked again.

"Well, maybe they don't trust me. After all, I beat Tang San to a pulp, and he was beaten to a pulp by Old Long. It's normal for them to be wary of me," Lu Yuan said.

"He clearly had no shame and bullied the weak, so he deserved to be beaten like that. Clear Sky Douluo really has a great reputation. He can do such a thing. He has completely disgraced the Titled Douluo!" Zhu Zhuqing said indignantly.

"Heh!" Looking at Zhu Zhuqing's somewhat angry expression, Lu Yuan chuckled. This little kitten was really too cute.

After kissing Zhu Zhuqing's fragrant lips, Lu Yuan said, "It's alright. With Old Long protecting us, Tang Hao is just a small fry. If he doesn't cause trouble, fine. But if he does, we'll just wipe him out."

"Mm!" Zhu Zhuqing nodded gently.

Holding Zhu Zhuqing tightly in his arms, Lu Yuan withdrew his Soul Power, and the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud flew directly into Lu Yuan's brow, revealing the two of them again.

Zhu Zhuqing looked curiously at the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud in Lu Yuan's hand. Lu Yuan had mentioned this thing to her before, but this was the first time Zhu Zhuqing had ever seen it.

It is indeed very amazing.

Looking at Oscar not far away, the fluctuations of his Soul Power had stabilized and were slowly calming down, indicating that he was nearing the end of the absorption process.

Half an hour later, Oscar opened his eyes!

His Soul Ring absorption has come to an end.

Oscar's eyes were filled with excitement; it seemed that the Flying Cat-Eagle's Soul Ring had given Oscar a decent Soul Skill.

After Oscar finished absorbing the energy, Flender breathed a sigh of relief. Protecting someone else was actually quite tiring, because it required you to be extremely focused and not miss the slightest movement.

Otherwise, Lu Yuan wouldn't have used the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud to isolate himself from talking to Long Xiaoyao. Wasn't he worried that their conversation would be overheard by others?

Especially Flender, who was on night watch, because he was the only one who wasn't asleep.

Oscar looked around and found that everyone was asleep except for Lu Yuan and Zhu Zhuqing.

Seeing Oscar's expression, Lu Yuan nodded to him, congratulating him on completing the absorption of the Soul Ring.

Oscar smiled and found a seat.

Shortly after Oscar sat down, the ground suddenly shook, and the thumping sound woke everyone up. Rows of trees fell to the sides.

Lu Yuan's Double Pupils narrowed as a giant ape appeared in Lu Yuan eyes.

A slight smile played on Lu Yuan's lips, and a strange light flickered in his Double Pupils. The show was finally about to begin.
