Douluo: I’m Cultivating Immortality, and I’m Still a Titled Douluo?

Hearing Lu Yunzhou's words, Qian Renxue didn't hesitate for a moment before giving her reply:

"No problem!"

However, right after her response, an inexplicable wave of regret washed over her.

Her face flushed with evident unease as she spoke cautiously,

"We should agree on one thing first. Going to the Sunset Forest is fine, but on the way there, you can't bully me anymore. After all… I… I'm already swollen!"

After finishing her sentence, a trace of aggrieved anger appeared on Qian Renxue's stunningly beautiful face.

Lu Yunzhou, feeling a bit awkward, chuckled softly and responded,

"Alright, alright, I promise not to bully you anymore. Does that work?"

"Swear it!"

"No way!"

"You scoundrel! I'll bite you!"

...

After teasing Qian Renxue a little, Lu Yunzhou brought out an exquisitely luxurious Cloud Boat.

Just as he prepared to board the Cloud Boat with Qian Renxue to head to the Sunset Forest, where he hadn't ventured in a long time, an overwhelming energy wave suddenly emerged behind him.

"Miss Gu, what brings you here?"

Sensing the familiar energy and aura, Lu Yunzhou asked tentatively, his expression tinged with curiosity.

Rather than answering directly, Gu Yuena posed a casual question of her own,

"Where are you going?"

For some reason, watching Gu Yuena talk to Lu Yunzhou made Qian Renxue feel an inexplicable sense of unease and danger.

This unsettling feeling made her whole body tense. Desperate to dispel it, she intervened on Lu Yunzhou's behalf,

"Where we're going has nothing to do with you!"

Qian Renxue's abrupt interjection annoyed Gu Yuena, but she brushed it off, keeping her focus on Lu Yunzhou.

Gu Yuena had a clear purpose—gaining the rights to use the Spirit Summoning Technique. This technique was essential to help all Soul Beasts evolve into Demonic Beasts, liberating them from the oppression of both cultivators and humans alike.

To achieve this, Gu Yuena needed to forge a connection with Lu Yunzhou. Without a strong bond, negotiating for the rights to the Spirit Summoning Technique would be nothing more than a pipe dream.

Given that Lu Yunzhou was preparing to leave, this was the perfect opportunity for her. By accompanying him on his journey, she could chat with him, strengthen their relationship, and eventually broach the subject.

With this in mind, Gu Yuena disregarded Qian Renxue's objections and declared,

"It has everything to do with me. I'm coming with you."

Her words immediately heightened Qian Renxue's sense of crisis. Her brows furrowed, and her gaze locked onto Gu Yuena as she stepped protectively in front of Lu Yunzhou.

"You can't come with us! And what gives you the right to tag along?" Qian Renxue said firmly.

Gu Yuena, undeterred, sneered,

"Hmph, I'm coming whether you like it or not."

She added coldly,

"The roads of this world don't belong to you. Besides, my feet are my own, and I'll go wherever I please.

"And you, little blonde girl, have no authority over me. Were it not for Mister Lu's presence, you wouldn't even be worth my time."

After speaking, the proud Silver Dragon King raised her chin arrogantly, exuding regal disdain.

As the two women exchanged sharp words, the tension between them grew thick. Lu Yunzhou, sensing the imminent escalation, quickly interjected to diffuse the situation,

"Miss Gu, I'm heading out with Xue'er to handle some personal matters. I don't think it's appropriate for you to join us."

He paused, as though recalling something, then added,

"If there's anything you need, let's discuss it when we return."

With his stance clearly favoring Qian Renxue, Lu Yunzhou didn't wait for Gu Yuena to respond. He gently wrapped his arm around Qian Renxue's slender waist and led her onto the Cloud Boat, setting course for the Sunset Forest.

Watching them depart, Gu Yuena was both angry and frustrated. Though tempted to follow, she feared offending Lu Yunzhou and jeopardizing her chances of obtaining the Spirit Summoning Technique. Left with no choice, she stayed behind, resolving to wait for his return.

Seeing Gu Yuena stifled, Qian Renxue felt an immense sense of satisfaction.

"Think you can compete with me? Little dragon girl, you're far too green!"

Thanks to the Cloud Boat's incredible speed, Lu Yunzhou and Qian Renxue soon reached their destination—the Sunset Forest.

The Sunset Forest was one of the few remaining habitats for Soul Beasts on the continent. For reasons unknown, its mineral and medicinal resources far exceeded those of other regions, making it a paradise for blacksmiths and alchemists alike.

Upon reaching the forest's outskirts, Lu Yunzhou wasted no time piloting the Cloud Boat deep into the forest.

Before long, they arrived above the forest's core area.

Looking down at the familiar canyon below, a wave of nostalgia swept over Lu Yunzhou. A faint smile appeared on his lips as he tightened his hold on Qian Renxue's waist and descended directly into the gorge with his sword.

Meanwhile, in the heart of the canyon, Dugu Bo, fresh from seclusion, was basking in his recent breakthroughs.

With the aid of various rare immortal herbs and the Five Elements Spirit-Gathering Array, he had shattered his previous bottleneck. Moreover, after consuming the Nine-Revolution Dragon Transformation Pill given to him by Lu Yunzhou, his martial spirit had evolved from the Emerald Scaled Snake Emperor into the Jade Dragon King.

This transformation not only elevated him to a peak-level Titled Douluo at Rank 97 but also filled him with boundless excitement.

As Dugu Bo prepared to gather some herbs to brew tea, his right eyelid began twitching uncontrollably—a phenomenon he had never experienced before.

Before he could make sense of it, a vast, razor-sharp sword aura descended from the sky, enveloping the entire area in an instant.

Though the aura carried no killing intent, its overwhelming sharpness triggered Dugu Bo's instincts, putting him on high alert.

Recognizing the aura's owner, Dugu Bo laughed heartily,

"You brat! You've been out gallivanting so long you've forgotten respect, haven't you? Fine! I just recently transformed into a dragon—I'll use you to test my strength!"

With that, Dugu Bo unleashed the full force of his Rank 97 aura, ready to teach Lu Yunzhou a lesson. However, before he could act, an even mightier aura descended…
