Mo Lan slowly stepped forward, her gaze lingering on Fang Yang and Gu Yue for a moment, her eyes revealing sincere gratitude.
"I'm Mo Lan, thank you both for your help." She bowed slightly, her voice carrying a hint of respect.
She truly hadn't expected these two to possess such terrifying strength at such a young age…
"Just Luck."
Fang Yang smiled faintly, his tone calm.
Upon hearing this, Mo Lan couldn't help but think to herself, "Luck? Are you saying it was Luck that you defeated a Spirit Emperor-level powerhouse, and Luck that you killed an evil Spirit Master with the power of the abyss?"
"If this is Luck, then wouldn't others not even have a chance at Luck?"
However, she quickly composed herself and said solemnly, "Please rest assured, I will keep silent about your Soul Fusion Skill."
"Sister Mo Lan, thank you so much." Fang Yang slowly said.
Mo Lan gently waved her hand, "It was nothing, no need to be polite."
Just then, a steady, powerful footsteps approached from a distance.
Wu Changkong strode over, his blue long hair gently swaying, his whole person exuding a cold aura.
"Teacher Wu."
Fang Yang and Gu Yue said in unison.
Wu Changkong nodded slightly, his voice extremely cold, "I have already dealt with the traces at the scene."
"Understood."
Fang Yang responded, then turned to Mo Lan, "Sister Mo Lan, I'll leave the follow-up matters to you."
…
Not long after, the powerhouses of the Sun Moon Federation arrived one after another.
Under Mo Lan's detailed explanation, they quickly understood the whole story, preparing for the subsequent reporting work.
The Soul Guidance train also reached its destination, the Heaven Dou City Soul Guidance train station.
"Sister Mo Lan, we'll get off in Heaven Dou City."
Fang Yang said softly, holding Gu Yue's hand.
Mo Lan said deeply to the two of them, "Thank you so much for your help this time."
With that, she took out two train cards and handed them to the two.
"These are special VIP cards from the Federation; you can ride any Soul Guidance train line for free in the future and enjoy the highest level of treatment."
Although she wasn't a powerhouse, her background was extraordinary.
Two mere train cards were something she could afford…
"Thank you, Sister Mo Lan."
Fang Yang smiled as he took the cards, not refusing her kindness.
However, he muttered to himself, "Soul Guidance train… he doesn't want to ride it again anytime soon."
He'd leave the identity of 'train killer' to Tang Wulin.
"The Soul Guidance train still needs to go to the next city…"
Mo Lan smiled slightly, waving goodbye to the two, "Fang Yang, Gu Yue, the mountains are high and the waters are long, we will meet again."
She turned and returned to the Soul Guidance train, continuing to fulfill her duties as a conductor.
On the platform, Fang Yang and Gu Yue watched the train slowly depart until its silhouette disappeared into the distance…
"Let's go."
Wu Changkong's cold voice came from not far away.
Subsequently, Fang Yang and Gu Yue followed Wu Changkong out of the Heaven Dou Soul Guidance train station.
Fang Yang looked up and surveyed the ancient city before him, Heaven Dou City, which was infinitely more famous than East Sea City.
As early as twenty thousand years ago, Heaven Dou City already existed.
During the Spirit Hall era, it was one of the continent's foremost large cities, even becoming the continent's number one city for a time, serving as the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire.
It was only later, after the Sun Moon Empire, the predecessor of the Federation, annexed the Heaven Dou Empire, that it became an ordinary city.
Heaven Dou City's geographical location was excellent; it was not far from the Star Dou Great Forest, the origin of Spirit Beasts.
At the same time, it was also very close to Shrek City, the largest city on the continent, making it arguably the core area of the entire Douluo Continent.
"Teacher Wu, what are you doing in Heaven Dou City?" Fang Yang asked curiously.
Wu Changkong replied indifferently, "Nothing much, just visiting a friend."
Upon hearing this, Fang Yang also remembered that Wu Changkong was here to see his lover…
"Then, Teacher Wu, would it be convenient for Gu Yue and me to go with you?" Fang Yang asked.
Gu Yue, beside him, looked at him with some confusion.
Wu Changkong was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly, "Let's go."
Wu Changkong thus led Fang Yang and Gu Yue into the streets of Heaven Dou City.
Heaven Dou City had a pleasant climate, warm and humid. Coupled with a large amount of vegetation cover, the air was exceptionally fresh.
Suddenly, Fang Yang pointed to a shop emitting a rich, savory aroma.
He looked at Wu Changkong and asked, "Teacher Wu, what's that over there? It smells so good! Let's go try it."
"You have good taste, kid. Let's go to that shop."
Wu Changkong led Fang Yang and Gu Yue to the shop ahead.
The main door was somewhat old, some of the wood even starting to yellow, but the four-character plaque above the shop was still striking: "Yuhao Grilled Fish."
"It is said that this is the exclusive grilled fish recipe personally passed down by Huo Yuhao, the founder of the Spirit Transfer Pagoda, hence its name."
Wu Changkong slowly explained, "Yuhao Grilled Fish is very famous in the central regions of the continent, especially in Heaven Dou City, Shrek City, and Star Luo City."
"There's a rumor that he used this grilled fish skill to win over the Sea God's daughter at the time, Tang Wutong, who was known as the Dragon Butterfly Douluo."
Upon hearing this, Fang Yang thought to himself, "Huo Yuhao, the Child of Luck, was gradually brainwashed by Tang San in this way, becoming a dog of his Tang Clan."
Business was booming inside the Yuhao Grilled Fish restaurant.
Even though it wasn't mealtime, about eighty percent of the tables were occupied. The rich aroma came from the grilled fish.
The three found a corner to sit down. Wu Changkong had clearly eaten the grilled fish from this restaurant before.
He was very skilled at ordering and making notes, and based on his experience, he ordered several classic flavors from the menu, with a few of each.
He was very skilled at ordering and making notes, and based on his experience, he ordered several classic flavors from the menu, with a few of each.
The deliciousness of grilled fish lies in its crispy, golden-brown skin after grilling, while the fish meat remains tender and juicy.
The crispy aroma and the tender fish meat's juices perfectly blended together, truly a delicacy.
Facing such delicious and tempting grilled fish, Fang Yang and Gu Yue both ate with great enjoyment, occasionally feeding each other a bite.
Watching their intimate actions, different emotions flickered in Wu Changkong's eyes.
This familiar scene seemed to pull Wu Changkong back to that period of his youth that he missed, seeing his beloved.
Unfortunately, she was no longer in this world, and he was still barely alive…
At this moment, Fang Yang quietly said to Gu Yue, "Gu Yue, go to the flower shop and buy two bouquets of white chrysanthemums."
Gu Yue nodded, got up, and left the Yuhao Grilled Fish restaurant.
Wu Changkong simply ate the fresh and delicious grilled fish elegantly, seemingly not noticing their small actions.
After a while, Gu Yue returned.
Fang Yang gently said, "Gu Yue, I'll feed you." With that, he brought a piece of grilled fish to Gu Yue's mouth.
"Mm."
Gu Yue obediently ate the grilled fish from Fang Yang's hand.
After she finished, Fang Yang also ate the leftover grilled fish from his own plate.
This intimate gesture made Gu Yue's face flush slightly.
"Hello, sir, for thirty grilled fish, your total is…"
"Teacher Wu, I'll pay the bill." Fang Yang said.
Upon hearing this, Wu Changkong said coldly, "No need, I'll pay."
Just like that, Wu Changkong paid the bill directly, not giving Fang Yang a chance to do so.
