Chapter 64 Never Let It Go

Outside the room, the night was dark, and the sky was full of stars.

Happiness appeared in Dugu Ziteng's face. If you looked closely, there was still a little red on his handsome face, as if he had been afraid that Dugu Yaoyao would run away, and he directly closed the door after entering the house.

The candles in the room were dancing back and forth due to their walk, and their shadows were on the wall and the floor.

Dugu Ziteng quickly took out a long chair that was under the table in the center of the room and wiped it with his sleeve.

"Sit down."

Dugu Yaoyao quickly glanced at the room.

She saw an old wooden bed without any carvings, with a dull grey bed tent and thin and rough bedding that made people not interested in lying in it at first glance. A wooden box that was not nailed neatly beside the bed was probably used as a wardrobe. On the opposite side of the bed, Dugu Ziteng and Dugu Yaoyao stood. There was a wooden table with a dull yellow grease lamp on and a few chairs around the table.

Excluding these few necessities, there was nothing in this house. Although there were not many things, it was extremely crowded. Compared with the rooms of the servants in the house, it was better because it was a single room.

Dugu Yaoyao wondered the chair was dirty, so she hesitated and didn't sit down immediately. Dugu Ziteng saw it, and a trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes. Dugu Yaoyao finally sat down on the chair, and Dugu Ziteng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Dugu Yaoyao said softly, "Tomorrow you will have the contest. This contest is directly related to whether you can enter the top three. Are you ready, Brother Ziteng? Are you sure you can win Dugu Muyou?"

Under the dull lights, Dugu Yaoyao's small face looked a little smaller. She looked younger than her real age, and her face was as young as that of an eleven or twelve-year-old girl. At this time, she looked at Dugu Ziteng with watery eyes, which made Dugu Ziteng feel excited for a while.

Dugu Ziteng wanted to say something to make her feel at ease, but the performance of Dugu Muyou in Zhenzhuan Restaurant came to his mind.

Being able to easily defuse other people's attacks and facing Dugu Herong without any fear, she must have much confidence in herself. Dugu Ziteng heard that she was in a terrible situation in the house, but her performance made him feel ashamed. She even had a mysterious little fox that could breathe black flames with great lethality. Dugu Ziteng considered all the spiritual animals in his memory but failed to identify what kind of spiritual animal the fox belonged to.

Previously, Dugu Ziteng was very confident in himself. In this trial, he went very smoothly all the way, and his level was even higher than that of Dugu Muyou. But after the incident, he began to hesitate. Was he right before?

Seeing that Dugu Ziteng didn't reply, Dugu Yaoyao called him suspiciously, "Brother Ziteng?"

"Huh? I'm sorry. I'm distracted." Dugu Ziteng smiled and said apologetically. "Don't worry. I will do my best to win tomorrow."

"That's good. I'm worried that you will be too nervous, and now I can rest assured."

Dugu Ziteng's eyes lit up, "Yaoyao, do you come here to cheer me up on purpose?"

Dugu Yaoyao nodded at first and then shook her head. She lowered her head, seeming a little shy.

"During this time, I want to find an opportunity to talk to you, but it was delayed due to various reasons. Today I finally found an opportunity, so I came. I want to cheer for you, and at the same time I can talk with you because we haven't talked for a long time."

Dugu Ziteng was very excited. He went to Dugu Yaoyao many times, but he never saw her. He even wondered if Dugu Yaoyao looked down on him, so she didn't want to see him. Now it seemed that he thought her too bad, so Dugu Ziteng wanted to slap himself.

"Yes! We haven't met for a long time. I work hard every day and spend more time in cultivation than anyone else, so I can come here to find you, and now I finally got what I wanted. The house is really great, whose scale is many times larger than the largest family in my hometown, not to mention the people here. There are masters everywhere. In the future, we can stay in the same place and fight for the future together. We can create a future for sure."

"It's very good here, but I miss the previous life more. Although the previous living conditions are just so-so, and everything is not as good as here, at least we are free. You are confident and live without looking at other people's faces. Brother Ziteng, the situation here is not as simple as you think, so you must be careful in the future. You can't say a word or do anything wrong. You must be careful and try not to have the conflict with those who are about the same age as us."

Dugu Yaoyao's voice was calm, but her expression changed. When talking about life in the past, she looked nostalgic. But after a while, she looked painful probably because she thought of something bad.

Dugu Ziteng felt very distressed when he saw it and felt even more empathetic when thinking about what happened at Zhenzhuan Restaurant.

"Yaoyao, after you came here, did you encounter anything bad? Although we are weak at the house and there are very few things we can do, there are still many ways for us to deal with those who bullied us. If you have any grievances, you can tell me and we will work out a solution together."

"I have no grievances," Dugu Yaoyao said with a bitter smile. "I said it casually."

Dugu Ziteng only felt that his heart was about to break, so he insisted on saying, "You looked bad! Does Dugu Muyou that you mentioned before do anything bad? If she does, I will teach her a good lesson tomorrow."

Dugu Yaoyao hurriedly waved her hand but gave up under Dugu Ziteng's gaze, so she said with great distress, "It is a little thing. She is trueborn, so she often asked us to serve her. Those things can obviously be done by the servants."

Dugu Yaoyao told him every detail. Dugu Ziteng thought something was wrong at first, but the doubt disappeared completely. His fists became tighter and tighter, and his eyebrows also frowned tightly. After listening to Dugu Yaoyao's words, Dugu Ziteng kept silent for a long time.

After a while, he said, "So much has happened! Why do you say it's okay? Don't worry. I will fight that woman for you so that she will never bully you again!"

"Brother Ziteng! Don't do anything stupid!" Dugu Yaoyao shouted, "It's just a free talk because I feel comfortable when I say it."

"Don't worry. I will take care of myself."

"That's good," Dugu Yaoyao sighed and said. Her worry was gone. Her eyebrows loosened. She smiled and said, "If we don't have these messy things, how good we should be in the future! We can cultivate and plan the future at the same time. When I think about it, I feel..."

Was she talking about their future? These words made Dugu Ziteng excited. He heard another meaning from these words. Did it mean that Dugu Yaoyao was looking forward to their future?

Dugu Ziteng looked at Dugu Yaoyao with expectation. He tentatively grasped Dugu Yaoyao's soft and small hands. His palms were sweating because of tension.

Dugu Yaoyao's body stiffened and her face changed slightly. She glanced at Dugu Ziteng's ordinary appearance. She lowered her head and stared at his clothes made of rough fabrics. The Fifth Prince's handsome, unrestrained, and elegant look appeared in her mind. Her head dropped lower, but she never pulled her hand away.

Dugu Ziteng's anxiety gradually turned into hope, and he said softly, "I will not let you down."

The moon was on the high sky, and a door opened and then closed in a courtyard of the Dugus. Dugu Yaoyao walked out of the room with a shy smile on her face, but her face changed as soon as she turned around. She rubbed her hands in disgust and walked to the front door of the courtyard.

After Dugu Yaoyao left, Dugu Ziteng was still in joy. An hour later, his excitement gradually cooled down. Dugu Yaoyao's words gradually overlapped with his experience in the Zhenzhuan Restaurant, so Dugu Ziteng was furious.

"Dugu Muyou did so many bad things to Yaoyao. She humiliated Yaoyao in public and beat Yaoyao to vent her anger. Yaoyao is my treasure. I have to let that woman pay the price!"

Dugu Yaoyao returned to her residence and saw Dugu Piaopiao as soon as she opened the door. She was shocked and said, "Why don't you turn on the lights?"

"I just came here," Dugu Piaopiao flicked her sleeves and lit the lamp in the room. "How's it going?"

"It's done."

A strange pleasure flashed in Dugu Piaopiao's eyes, and she slowly said, "That's good."

Dugu Piaopiao confirmed that the matter was settled and left with satisfaction. Dugu Yaoyao angrily slammed the door.

At dawn, the trial on the fifth day began.

Dugu Muyou got up early and started cultivation after washing up and getting dressed. She wanted to get into the best state quickly. When it was time to go, Dugu Muyou caught Blood Fox out.

"You lazy fox, wake up! Wake up immediately."

After being shaken for a long time, Blood Fox finally opened its eyes.

"How do you feel?" Dugu Muyou asked.

Blood Fox used a small front paw to block the incoming light, curled up, and buried its head.

"I feel very sleepy."

Dugu Muyou lifted Blood Fox. Even if she did so, it still refused to wake up. It curled into a weird shape in the air, and its sound of breathing became longer and longer. Dugu Muyou stretched out a finger, pointed it in the direction of its belly, and jabbed it sharply.

"Wow!"

With a loud cry, Blood Fox's body was suddenly stretched, and it was hung on Dugu Muyou's left hand in a spread-eagled shape.

"What did you do!" Covering its belly, Blood Fox loudly protested. "I am going to find Lord to complain. You are a masher!"

"Are you awake? I am asking you that do you feel better?"

Blood Fox's belly was weird that it would jump up like what it did just now with a point at its belly. Its body would be spread out as if it had become a strange pendant.

Blood Fox checked its body angrily and suddenly said in surprise, "Why would I feel a little bit better?"

"Sure?"

Blood Fox nodded and said, "Although the effect is not obvious, it does work."

"That's good." Dugu Muyou lost in thought. "Maybe it could help you recover sooner."

Blood Fox's body didn't regain its energy. Originally, Dugu Muyou thought it was a bit strange. What kind of injury it was? It was so troublesome! She said that she wanted to help Blood Fox refine some pills. But Blood Fox said that those pills were useless for it.

After seeing the black flame yesterday, Dugu Muyou started to understand it instead. This little thing didn't brag. If the fox fought with all the might, it would not be a small black flame. For a senior divine animal, the things that this interface could provide were inferior goods in its eyes, and all of them would not be effective.

Putting Blood Fox over her shoulder, Dugu Muyou walked towards the courtyard of Dugu Qinglan. Dugu Qinglan was ready to go to Trial Hall with Dugu Muyou.
