Douluo: The Dragon King - I Planted the Divine Tree in Douluo

Page 51

Faced with Ouyang Zixin's teasing, Tang Wulin's face instantly turned bright red. He was so flustered that he almost couldn't hold his chopsticks properly. He stammered, "Senior Ouyang, please stop teasing me."

Tang Wulin's shy demeanor startled Su Mo; this was the first time Su Mo had ever seen Tang Wulin show such an expression.

"Is Tang Wulin falling for someone?"

Su Mo couldn't help but think to herself.

If Tang Wulin really does fall in love, I might be able to do something shady here.

When Xie Xie saw Tang Wulin's reaction, his eyes lit up as if he had discovered a new continent.

If it weren't for the fact that he wasn't familiar with this senior student Ouyang, he would have already started yelling.

Even so, Xie Xie was determined to interrogate Tang Wulin thoroughly when he got back.

Gu Yue, who was standing to the side, frowned subconsciously when she saw Tang Wulin stammering, but in the end she didn't say anything.

As for Xu Xiaoyan?

Her attention was entirely focused on Mu Xi, and she didn't notice Tang Wulin's strange behavior at all.

"Junior, what made you decide to eat in the cafeteria today?"

As soon as Su Mo sat down, Mu Xi couldn't wait to ask, her eyes filled with excitement and curiosity.

"We just finished the school entrance exams, and it's lunchtime."

As Su Mo answered slowly and deliberately, he picked up a tender squid tentacle with his chopsticks and chewed it slowly, looking just like a noble young master.

"Really? What a coincidence!"

Mu Xi smiled so much that her eyes curved into crescent moons.

Then, as if remembering something, Mu Xi leaned closer mysteriously and lowered her voice, saying, "Junior, let me tell you, my cooking skills have improved a lot recently. Just wait, I'll definitely let you try my new recipes this weekend!"

During her month in Tiandou City, Mu Xi spent her days either forging or learning to cook from Mu Ye, a top-level chef.

Under Mu Ye's guidance, Mu Xi felt that her cooking skills had reached their peak.

On her way back from Tiandou City, she specially bought a large amount of highly nutritious and valuable food to help Su Mo recover properly.

"Mu Xi, aren't you going to introduce this junior to us?"

Ouyang Zixin rested her chin on her hand, her eyes darting back and forth between Mu Xi and Su Mo, her tone tinged with a hint of teasing.

"Yes!"

Mu Xi then realized what was happening, her pretty face flushed slightly, and she hurriedly put down her chopsticks. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Su Mo, her tone filled with undisguised pride and intimacy, "This is the junior I mentioned to you, Su Mo!"

"It was my junior who saved me back in the Spirit Pagoda."

"A formidable rival, a formidable rival!"

Seeing Mu Xi's smug look, Xu Xiaoyan immediately felt alarmed and mentally marked Mu Xi as a formidable rival.

"Oh--"

Ouyang Zixin drawled out her words, a smile playing on her lips, "No wonder you keep talking about it all the time, it turns out it was about a hero saving a damsel in distress."

"I didn't, junior, please don't listen to Zixin's nonsense."

Mu Xi, whose secrets had been exposed, blushed with anxiety and almost dropped her chopsticks, waving her hands hastily to explain.

The more flustered Mu Xi became, the deeper Ouyang Zixin's smile grew, as if she had seen through everything.

"Hello, my name is Ouyang Zixin, and I am Xiaoxi's best friend."

As Ouyang Zixin spoke, she reached out her hand to Su Mo.

"Su Mo!"

Su Mo politely shook hands with Ouyang Zixin.

Tang Wulin stared wide-eyed as Su Mo held his delicate hand.

"I haven't even held your hand yet."

Overwhelmed with grief and indignation, Tang Wulin immediately decided to channel his anger into his appetite and began to eat voraciously.

Lunchtime ended quickly. Since Mu Xi and Ouyang Zixin had another class in the afternoon, they said goodbye and left the restaurant.

As soon as Mu Xi and Ouyang Zixin left, Xie Xie couldn't wait to ask, "Wu Lin, tell me honestly what's going on between you and Senior Ouyang?"

Tang Wulin blushed and stammered, "It's nothing, we were just doing morning exercises together."

Tang Wulin's words immediately made Xie Xie realize something was amiss. "No wonder you get up so early every day to run exercises, it turns out it's for Senior Sister Ouyang!"

"No way!"

Tang Wulin's face flushed red as his little scheme was exposed, and he tried his best to defend himself, "I just wanted to train."

"cut!"

Seeing Tang Wulin stubbornly refusing to admit his mistake, Xie Xie rolled his eyes in exasperation and said irritably, "Ask Su Mo and Gu Yue if they believe your explanation."

Upon hearing that Xie Xie had dragged her into this, Gu Yue remained silent, only giving Xie Xie a cold glare.

In the past, she would definitely have had a dark expression because of this.

But ever since she learned this morning that Tang Wulin had broken through four levels using the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King, she suddenly realized that her encounter with Tang Wulin back then was not simply due to the attraction of the bloodlines of the Golden and Silver Dragon Kings.

Chapter 64 Gu Yue's Transformation!

Gu Yue had long harbored doubts about the fact that she had just happened to meet Tang Wulin.

After all, it couldn't be such a coincidence that Di Tian, ​​who was most skilled at using spatial power, happened to encounter a plane fluctuation that was rare even once in ten thousand years when he opened a spatial passage.

She herself happened to lose her memory due to the collapse of the spatial passage, and happened to fall into Aolai City, where Tang Wulin, a human with the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King, lived.

The reason why she didn't investigate further and treated it as an ordinary accident was because Gu Yue felt that she had everything under control on the Douluo Continent and was confident that she could solve all problems.

Despite being asleep for ten thousand years, she has a thorough understanding of the situation on the Douluo Continent thanks to Di Tian's reports.

The only plane master in the entire Douluo Continent who could be considered a rival had fallen into a deep sleep for some unknown reason.

With God's-eye view and unparalleled strength, tell me how could we possibly lose?

But things are different now. Apart from the hair color being different from the Emperor Beast that had taken human form before, it is now clear that...

In every other aspect, whether it's appearance or height, she's practically a carbon copy of the auspicious beast, and her martial soul is even the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. Only then did Gu Yue suddenly realize that the situation on Douluo Continent was not as simple as she had imagined.

Today, after learning that Tang Wulin's soul power had broken through four levels due to "bloodline awakening," Gu Yue felt an instinctive sense of crisis as she realized that things were developing beyond her control.

This morning, while waiting in line for the test, Gu Yue specifically asked Tang Wulin about his bloodline awakening.

As a result, Tang Wulin stammered and couldn't give a clear answer, which led Gu Yue to conclude that Tang Wulin was hiding something from her.

Once the seed of doubt was planted, it quickly sprouted in Gu Yue's heart like weeds, causing her to re-examine her past encounter with Tang Wulin when she had lost her memory.

This re-examination immediately made Gu Yue realize that something was wrong.

Because she discovered that before she met Tang Wulin, it seemed that no one in the entire Aolai City had ever noticed her existence.

Gu Yue clearly remembers that during her time as a homeless person, she encountered staff members of the Sunshine Welfare Home more than once.

When the other person saw him wandering alone, they didn't react at all, as if they didn't even see him.

It is important to know that the Sunshine Welfare Home is a non-profit organization jointly established by the well-known "philanthropist" conglomerate B and the federal government, and it is located in all cities of the Federation.

Their daily duties include receiving and searching for abandoned babies left in the corners of the city.

So unless the other person is mentally ill, they would never ignore someone who is wandering alone in public.

This is exactly what happened, and no one around did anything about it.

Such a strange situation made Gu Yue think twice.

Gu Yue now strongly suspects that her initial encounter with Tang Wulin was orchestrated by someone in secret.

Although she didn't know why the other party went to such lengths to lead her to Tang Wulin, since the other party dared to scheme against her, she would make him understand the consequences of scheming against her.

Gu Yue has now made up her mind to devour Tang Wulin and refine the Golden Dragon King bloodline within him once she has found out the forces hiding behind Tang Wulin and completed her own plan.

As for her bet with Na'er, Gu Yue no longer cares.

Anyway, once she absorbs the Golden Dragon King bloodline from Tang Wulin, it won't matter much whether Na'er returns or not.

Gu Yue now can be described as someone who, with a single thought of killing, suddenly feels the vastness of the world.

……

Seeing that Gu Yue didn't react much, Xie Xie quickly nudged Tang Wulin, who was engrossed in eating, with his elbow and whispered, "Hey Wulin, did you and Gu Yue have a fight?"

"???"

Tang Wulin, who was eating, was completely bewildered by Xie Xie's words and had no idea what Xie Xie meant.

Looking at Tang Wulin, whose eyes revealed a clear naivety, Xie Xie felt somewhat helpless and could only lower his voice again to explain, "Didn't you notice that Gu Yue wasn't jealous this time? In the past, if you got too close to any girl, Gu Yue's face would have turned as black as the bottom of a pot."

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin paused in his rice-eating motion.

To say he didn't know Gu Yue's feelings would be self-deception, given how obvious Gu Yue's feelings were.

However, due to some of his own dark thoughts, he had been subconsciously avoiding this issue.

Now that Xie Xie has brought this topic to the forefront, Tang Wulin is caught in a dilemma, unsure of how to respond.

Having accepted Gu Yue's advances, his beloved senior, Ouyang, would no longer be a concern for him.

He could refuse Gu Yue, but he was also reluctant to give up Gu Yue's kindness to him.

Seeing Tang Wulin's embarrassed expression, Su Mo stepped in at the crucial moment to help him out, "Anyone want to go to the movies? It's on me!"

"Me me me!!!"

Almost immediately, Xu Xiaoyan excitedly raised her little hand, afraid that Su Mo hadn't noticed her.

Tang Wulin breathed a sigh of relief at Su Mo's sudden words and subconsciously cast a grateful glance at Su Mo.

Faced with Tang Wulin's grateful gaze, Su Mo smiled but remained silent.

"Can we go see Ghost in the Shell?"

Xie Xie's interest was piqued by Su Mo's words. Unlike Tang Wulin and Gu Yue, who were both cultivation fanatics, he was a loyal anime fan and junior student of Wa before joining Class Zero.

Even now that he's joined Class Zero, he still watches dramas and plays games whenever he has free time.
