Douluo Continent: My Days in the Tang Sect.

Chapter 503 Ahead Lies an Abyss

Chapter 503 Ahead Lies an Abyss

As night fell, the bright moon hung high in the sky.

This was Huo Yuhao's first night at Haotian Fort.

To be honest, Huo Yuhao found it a bit strange.

He and Wang Dong were good brothers. They usually shared a dorm room. He could see Wang Dong sleeping on the opposite bed just by turning over in bed. He had naturally seen Wang Dong's sleeping face before.

I've seen him sleep; that guy spends quite a bit of time in the dorm after showering.

Now, Huo Yuhao looked at Uncle Tai standing in front of him with a forced smile and felt very puzzled.

"Um, Uncle Tai? Is it inconvenient for Wang Dong to see me right now?" Huo Yuhao asked.

Uncle Tai forced a terrifying smile, his voice escaping through clenched teeth, "Yeah, kid, Xiao Dong just finished showering and it's a bit inconvenient for him to see you. How about you wait until tomorrow?"

Huo Yuhao had been looking forward to what good programs Wang Dong had planned for tonight, but after hearing what Uncle Tai said, he gave up on that idea.

After all, he had been flying all day and was indeed quite tired.

"Okay, Uncle Tai, I'll talk to Wang Dong again tomorrow," Huo Yuhao nodded and said.

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's reply, Uncle Tai's tense expression finally relaxed; he really couldn't fake a smile.

"Alright, you get some rest tonight, I'm going back to drink some more. Your liquor is really good!"

When the topic of alcohol came up, Uncle Tai's face immediately broke into a genuine smile.

"That's right, I can't sleep at night without having a drink!" Huo Yuhao nodded in agreement. After drinking too much of Ye Nanxiao's wine, he had also developed a bit of an alcohol addiction.

Furthermore, Huo Yuhao discovered that when he was slightly drunk, his ability to control his soul power was twice as effective.

"Oh? You're treating this as a bedtime drink? Looks like you can't hold your liquor very well?" Uncle Tai assumed Huo Yuhao was using the alcohol to help him fall asleep quickly.

Huo Yuhao shook his head and said, "You're mistaken, Uncle Tai. I have a huge capacity for alcohol! I won't get drunk no matter how much I drink!"

Ye Nanxiao's Fun Facts: The owner of the ultimate ice usually has a high alcohol tolerance.

Uncle Tai's eyes narrowed. "You brat, you claim to have a huge capacity for alcohol in front of me? Let's have a contest!"

This kid looks skinny, but he's got quite the big mouth.

"Perfect timing, kid. I'd also like to get to know Uncle Tai better. How about we have a drink in my room?" Huo Yuhao asked.

"Let's go! I've brought plenty of wine with me!"

The third floor of Haotian Fort.

Wang Dong dried his half-dry hair, changed into a Haotianbao uniform, and walked into the largest room on the third floor.

The room was not furnished much; a large table was placed in the middle, along with a few stone chairs, several large bookshelves, and a few huge wine jars in the corners.

Behind the table, in the main seat, sat a burly man with long blue hair, none other than Wang Dong's great-father, Niu Tian.

"Uncle! Why did you call me over here?" Wang Dong asked, somewhat displeased.

At this moment, her face was slightly flushed, and there were still some water droplets on her light blue hair. Her loose robe revealed Wang Dong's slender figure as she walked.

Like a lotus emerging from the water, delicate yet not seductive.

"You're planning to go see that kid? No way." Niu Tian said without looking up as he quickly reviewed the sect's documents.

Wang Dong instinctively asked, "Why?"

"Why? Just because that kid is a man!" Niu Tian stopped writing and looked up at Wang Dong.

"So what if he's a guy?" Wang Dong said dismissively.

Niu Tian angrily threw down his pen and slammed his large, fan-like hand on the stone table. "Have you forgotten who you are, Wang Dong'er?!"

Wang Dong'er, whose name had been called, froze for a moment, then quickly turned to look at the doorway.

"Dad!" Wang Dong'er stomped her foot angrily.

Niu Tian snorted coldly, "I don't care how you lived at Shrek Academy, but now that you're back under my nose, you have to do as I taught you!"

What kind of girl goes looking for a boy late at night?

They still went to someone else's room.

"Hmph! What's wrong with Yuhao? Yuhao is a good person! I like him!" Wang Dong'er simply stopped pretending and came clean.

Niu Tian's forehead veins throbbed twice, but he was helpless. What could he do about Wang Dong'er, whom he had spoiled and raised?

"There are a lot of documents tonight, can you help your father with them? You are, after all, the young master of Haotian Fortress!" Niu Tian stood up, flashed to Wang Dong'er's side, grabbed her, and placed her in the main seat.

Wang Dong'er looked at the pile of documents in front of her, which was as tall as herself, and immediately frowned.

"No! Uncle! I'm handling these documents, so what are you doing?" Wang Dong'er asked, pouting.

Niu Tian let out a deep breath and said, "That kid's challenging Titan to drink; I'll go make it a bit harder!"

After saying that, Niu Tian closed the door and left.

Upon hearing that her two uncles had gone to find Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong'er immediately became anxious, spread her wings, and flew to the door in an instant.

However, no matter how hard Wang Dong'er tried, she couldn't open the heavy wooden door, clearly indicating that Niu Tian had a backup plan.

"Daddy!!!! If you dare bully Yuhao, you can forget about owning your wine cellar!!!"

Huo Yuhao, who was playing drinking games and rolling dice with Titan, vaguely heard some shouts.

He glanced at the window in confusion, but there was nothing there.

"Kid! That last round doesn't count! I was just too honest! This time, six ones!"

"Uncle Tai, you're calling six 'ones' when there are only two people? Crack!"

"Damn! You're not being honest! There aren't any! It's just one cup! I'll drink it!"

Huo Yuhao grinned, finding the things he learned from his own Mud Sauce quite amusing.

Tang Clan, Ye Nanxiao's underground laboratory.

"Nanxiao?"

"Nanxiao?"

Ye Nanxiao stood in front of the lab table, and he heard people calling him from behind, but he seemed not to hear them, his gaze unfocused.

"Ah Xiao!"

"Um?!"

Ye Nanxiao snapped out of his daze, turned around, and saw Jiang Nannan standing beside him, frowning as she looked at him.

"What's wrong?" Ye Nanxiao took Jiang Nannan's small hand.

Jiang Nannan gripped Ye Nanxiao's large hand tightly, her face full of worry. "What's wrong with you? Why are you so distracted?"

"No?" Ye Nanxiao replied.

The latest novel is first published here!

"Before you say that, look back at us," came Beibei's voice.

Upon hearing this, Ye Nanxiao turned around and saw Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and others standing behind him.

"What are you doing here? When did you all get here?"

Beibei frowned, pointed to the large clock on the laboratory wall, and said, "We've been here for almost half an hour. When we came in, we saw you spacing out. No matter how we called you, you seemed to be in a trance and didn't respond at all."

Xu Sanshi, who was usually so cheeky, nodded seriously at this moment. "Yes, we thought you were thinking, but obviously you weren't. Nanxiao, what happened?"

"It's nothing, I was just spacing out." Ye Nanxiao put on a fake smile, forced a laugh, and squeezed Jiang Nannan's small hand.

Jiang Nannan looked at Ye Nanxiao calmly, without saying a word, and quietly watched him.

She was all too familiar with Ye Nanxiao's body language.

When Ye Nanxiao met Jiang Nannan's gaze, he could no longer maintain his smile. He knew that his fake smile couldn't fool Jiang Nannan.

Tang Ya took a few steps forward and asked seriously, "Has something happened, Nan Xiao? If so, can you tell me? We are all from the Tang Clan and are each other's most important friends. We want to help you."

Ye Nanxiao scratched his head, his eyes darting around, and said, "This matter is indeed a bit difficult, and it's related to you and Beibei!"

Upon hearing her name mentioned, Beibei immediately stood up.

"Nanxiao, if there's anything I can help with, just say it. If you beat around the bush, I'll get angry." Beibei also unusually displayed the aura of a senior brother.

"When that matchmaking event comes around, Senior Sister wants you and me to be a pair of hosts. You wear blue and I wear red, to attract the senior sisters from the inner courtyard to participate in the matchmaking event or something. Don't you think this is putting me, Ye, in a difficult position?"

"."

Beibei and Xu Sanshi exchanged a glance, then asked, "Is that all?"

"Don't you think the sight of Beibei in a bright red robe and me in a bright blue robe is dazzling?" Ye Nanxiao said quietly.

"Furthermore, at this matchmaking event, even the participants maintaining order are male and female, but the hosts are two grown men. Didn't you ever think that was inappropriate?"

Tang Ya's serious expression vanished instantly, and she burst out laughing.

"Beibei, hahaha, it's not a bad idea to lend it to you!" Tang Ya betrayed her husband without hesitation, as she was also eager to see the scene Ye Nanxiao had just described.

Beibei smiled and silently dragged Tang Ya away. Judging from this, she should be ascending to the throne of the family tonight.

Xu Sanshi wanted to say something, but then he noticed that someone was comforting Ye Nanxiao. He gave Ye Nanxiao a thumbs up and followed He Caitou.

After everyone left, Jiang Nannan's expression returned to calm as she quietly looked at Ye Nanxiao.

If Ye Nanxiao is confident that he can fool 99% of the people in the world, then the first person to see through Ye Nanxiao's lies will only be Jiang Nannan.

"What are you worried about?" Jiang Nannan reached out and hugged Ye Nanxiao, gently stroking his hair.

Ye Nanxiao closed his eyes, buried his head in Jiang Nannan's arms, and greedily breathed in the reassuring scent emanating from her.

"I saw the abyss, and the abyss was looking at me. Sometimes I couldn't tell whether I was standing on the ground looking down at the abyss, or whether the abyss was actually another mountain peak looking down at my still insignificant self," Ye Nanxiao said.

Whether you can seize the opportunity to play a more powerful card in your hand.

Although Ye Nanxiao hadn't had many peaceful days, from today onwards, the formal competition would begin.

Jiang Nannan was shocked; she sensed the fear and confusion in Ye Nanxiao's heart.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'll stay with you, I'll always be with you, until the end of the world, until the seas dry up and the rocks crumble."

She didn't know what Ye Nanxiao was worried about or afraid of. No matter what Ye Nanxiao was going to do or what he was about to face, she would quietly hold Ye Nanxiao's hand.

A half-moon appears on a moonlit night in the vast Starry Forest, on the outer edge.

A spirit beast resembling a deer ran swiftly, leaping over clumps of trees.

The deer was very fast and reached the edge of the forest in no time.

Just as the fawn was catching its breath, a cold voice came from above.

"Think it over. If you go any further, you'll be facing an abyss."

"The Three-Eyed Golden Lion!"

The moonlight shone on Ye Nanxiao, adding to his icy aura.
