Passing Through Heaven Dou

"You flatter me!" Even with Lu Yuan's thick skin, he felt a little embarrassed by such praise from Golden Crocodile Douluo.

"No way, you deserve it! I'm not making this up!" said Golden Crocodile Douluo.

"Uh!" Lu Yuan didn't know what to say.

"Alright!" Bibi Dong's voice rang out, "Now that everything is ready, let's set off. Second Worship, Xiao Yuan and Nana are in your care!"

"Leave it to me!" Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded.

Hearing this, Bibi Dong felt relieved. Golden Crocodile Douluo was Peak Douluo of Level 98. Apart from the three Peerless Douluo and Bibi Dong, he had almost no rivals. Even Tang Hao was no match for him now.

Unless Tang Hao is fully recovered from his injuries, he can still put up a fight with the Great Sumeru Hammer and the Ring Detonation. Otherwise, encountering him would be suicide.

Therefore, with Golden Crocodile Douluo around, Lu Yuan and Hu Liena's group was as stable as Mount Tai.

Lu Yuan and Hu Liena boarded the carriage, and no driver was arranged. Golden Crocodile Douluo simply took on the role of driver.

Under Bibi Dong's gaze, Lu Yuan waved goodbye with some reluctance and set off.

The carriage slowly drove out of Spirit City.

Just like when they came, it would take half a month to travel from Spirit City to the Nuoding Academy by carriage, even if they were rushing. Moreover, Lu Yuan was not in a hurry this time and was traveling with a relaxed and leisurely attitude, so their progress was much slower.

After all, besides him, there was also Hu Liena.

His feelings for Hu Liena were somewhat complicated. He wouldn't call it love, as it hadn't reached that level yet, but he had already developed feelings for her, so without realizing it, he had started to consider Hu Liena in his life.

In fact, Hu Liena has hardly ever left Spirit City since she was a child, except for attending classes at the Heaven's Pride Training Camp and Spirit Hall Academy. She is quite curious about the outside world.

Although Lu Yuan didn't say it aloud, deep down he probably didn't even know that he had long harbored feelings of affection for Hu Liena. However, his heart was always filled with Qian Renxue, and his obsession was too strong, so he subconsciously ignored it.

Seeing Hu Liena's slightly red eyes, Lu Yuan asked softly, "Senior Sister, what's wrong? Are you reluctant to part with Teacher?"

Hu Liena was different from him. Despite being precocious, she was only a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl. Although she was mentally mature, she had never gone out alone and was very dependent on Bibi Dong.

In the past, she had never been far from Spirit City during training, but this time was different. She was completely away from Spirit City. Hu Liena not only regarded Bibi Dong as her master, but also as a mother figure. Suddenly being so far away from Bibi Dong was something she was not used to.

This is like a student from a modern family, far away from their parents, going to study in another place alone. When they first leave, they always feel a little uneasy and reluctant.

Lu Yuan was different. He had memories of his past life and was a true adult psychologically. In his view, this was just a trip.

Hearing Lu Yuan's words, Hu Liena nodded.

Lu Yuan smiled, pinched Hu Liena's cheek, and said, "Don't worry, it's not like we won't see our teacher again. We'll be back in two or three months at most."

"Besides, the Douluo Continent is so vast, don't you want to go out and see it?"

Looking at Lu Yuan's gentle smile, Hu Liena immediately felt at ease. Yes, with her junior brother by her side, what was there to be afraid of?

Grabbing Lu Yuan 'Lu Yuan hand that was pinching her cheek, Hu Liena pressed her face against hers. Her beautiful eyes were Sisi with tears, making her look pitiful. "Junior brother, I've never been far from home before. I'll have to trouble you this time. I'm sure you'll take good care of me, right?"

Seeing Hu Liena's pitiful, tearful expression, Lu Yuan's lips twitched. "This vixen, she's at it again!"

Silently, he tried to pull his hand back, but Hu Liena held it tightly. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on Lu Yuan, glistening with tears, "Junior Brother!"

Looking into Hu Liena's eyes, Lu Yuan was instantly defeated; he couldn't stand Hu Liena's pitiful appearance.

I'm still too soft-hearted!

A sly glint flashed in Hu Liena's eyes, and she silently made a peace sign in her mind.

From Spirit City to the Heaven Dou Empire, the roads are all wide and straight.

At Lu Yuan's speed, they set off at dawn and finally arrived at the border of the Heaven Dou Empire as the sun set.

It only takes a little over a day to travel from the border of the Heaven Dou Empire to the Heaven Dou Imperial City.

Bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, a horse-drawn carriage sped toward the border.

The empire's borders have time-limited passage. Although Lu Yuan and his group could still enter even if they missed the designated time, it would inevitably cause a significant stir and could expose their identities. Lu Yuan and his group originally intended to keep a low profile.

The journey in the carriage was quite tiring after a day's travel.

Lu Yuan was fine; with the amplification of the Golden Dragon Bloodline, his body was incredibly strong. He could sit for a day, or even a week, without much trouble. But Hu Liena was different. Although she was Beast Martial Soul Master, she focused on spirit and Charm. While her physique wasn't bad, it wasn't particularly outstanding either. Plus, it was her first time traveling so far, and sitting in a carriage for so long, she was bound to feel a bit uncomfortable.

At this moment, she was sleeping soundly, leaning against Lu Yuan.

She wrapped her slender arms around Lu Yuan's waist, rested her pretty face on his shoulder, and slept soundly.

A trickle of drool occasionally escaped from the corner of his mouth, dampening a small patch of clothing on Lu Yuan's shoulder.

No one knows Hu Liena's sleeping posture better than Lu Yuan, after all, they have been sleeping in the same bed for almost three Shiguang.

Although Lu Yuan spent every night in meditation, he had done things like covering Hu Liena with a blanket and picking up the blanket countless times.

Sometimes, after finishing her morning cultivation, Hu Liena would unconsciously release her Martial Soul while still half asleep, and her long fox tail would even wrap around him.

This is actually a pretty good sleeping posture for me today.

Looking closely at Hu Liena, it's true that her arched eyebrows and fair, jade-like face made her look exceptionally beautiful. As she slept, Hu Liena lost some of her Charm but gained a touch of purity. Even after three years together, she still gave Lu Yuan a stunning feeling. Coupled with the slightly messy hair that gave her a lazy look, Hu Liena was truly beautiful at this moment.

Looking at the Heaven Dou border that was already close at hand, Golden Crocodile Douluo poked his head in from outside and said, "Xiao Yuan, we've arrived at the Heaven Dou border."

No sooner had he finished speaking than he saw Hu Liena asleep on Lu Yuan's shoulder in a rather intimate position. A hint of displeasure flashed in Golden Crocodile Douluo's eyes. In his heart, his cheap disciple and Xiao Xue were a match made in heaven. Although Hu Liena had decent talent, she was far inferior to Qian Renxue.

His mind was racing.
