Douluo: The Peerless King of Beast Tamers

Chapter 189 Hongchen Brothers and Sisters Are Here
After Zhou Sichen left Lang Ya and the other man, he walked towards the next floor with steady steps.

The light on this underground floor is a little dim, and all kinds of noisy sounds are intertwined together, forming a unique bustling scene.

Zhou Sichen's eyes moved slightly in this lively environment, like a sharp falcon in the night sky, and he soon caught sight of the two familiar figures in the crowd.

When passing by a stall, Zhou Sichen was attracted by the bright yellow oranges on the stall.

He picked up an orange, put it to his nose and sniffed it gently. The fresh fruity scent instantly lingered in his nose.

So he bought a bag of oranges, peeled them, felt the refreshing juice splashing, and walked slowly towards where the brother and sister were.

When he arrived at the bar where the brother and sister were, he naturally sat down opposite them.

His sitting posture was casual yet elegant, as if he was at home.

Zhou Sichen continued to peel the orange, separating the orange segments with his nimble fingers, while he said nonchalantly, "The finals are approaching, and you are the main players of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. Are you planning some conspiracy by meeting me now?"

His voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen in this noisy environment.

Hearing Zhou Sichen's words, Xiao Hongchen didn't show the slightest smile on his face. He just took a sip of soda, his movements elegant and steady: "I didn't expect you to be the captain of Shrek Academy. We met more than a month ago."

His eyes revealed a complex emotion, including surprise at Zhou Sichen's identity and solemnity about the upcoming finals.

Zhou Sichen threw a slice of orange into his mouth, and the sour and sweet taste of the orange blossomed on his taste buds.

Then, he handed the peeled orange to Meng Hongchen opposite him with a gentle smile on his face: "Try this, it's juicy and tastes pretty good."

His tone was gentle, and he didn't show any stage fright because Meng Hongchen was a great beauty. It was as if he was talking to an old friend.

From the moment Zhou Sichen appeared, Meng Hongchen's beautiful eyes were like being attracted by a magnet, staring at him closely.

Now, facing Zhou Sichen's initiative to hand her the peeled orange, there was no shyness on her face. She stretched out her slender hand and took it generously.

"Thank you, you are such a gentleman. I hope you can give in to me in the final." Meng Hongchen thanked him after taking the orange. His big eyes blinked like the twinkling stars in the night sky, full of innocence and expectation.

Zhou Sichen just smiled, and that smile was as warm as a spring breeze: "I am only five rings, you should tell others this."

Xiao Hongchen saw that Zhou Sichen ignored him and flirted with his own sister instead. He was not angry in his heart. He also smiled with a hint of helplessness in his smile: "The captain of the five rings, in Shrek, a place with many talented people, you can achieve this step. I don't believe you really rely on your identity!"

There was a hint of inquiry in his eyes, as if he wanted to see through the secret hidden in Zhou Sichen.

"The night before the Di'ao Academy fought with us, you went to the Great Soul Arena alone with them. You provided them with those soul guides, right? A Five-ringed Soul King can produce so many soul guides, including level six ones. I don't believe you are just a relative."

Xiao Hongchen's voice gradually became louder, with a hint of questioning in his words.

Zhou Sichen listened to Xiao Hongchen's words, calmly took out an orange from the bag, and peeled it slowly.

His movements were unhurried, as if Xiao Hongchen's words had no effect on him at all. He peeled the orange peel bit by bit, revealing the plump orange segments inside.

"You are well-informed, but even if you knew, what can you do? The gap between your Sun Moon and our Shrek is too big. Although the final is also a best-of-three match, it is held in one day. There is not enough rest time. Facing our lineup of three soul emperors, you have no advantage."

As he spoke, Zhou Sichen stuffed a slice of orange into his mouth. The sweet and sour taste made him feel calmer.

"So, you can't be trying to convince me today?" Zhou Sichen raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of teasing in his eyes.

After Meng Hongchen finished eating the orange, he reached out to Zhou Sichen, his movements like a child asking for candy.

Zhou Sichen just smiled warmly and handed her the orange with only one slice eaten.

Xiao Hongchen couldn't help but roll his eyes at his sister, then said, "Of course not. We are not here to talk about the competition today. We just want to make friends with you."

His tone was sincere and there was a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

Zhou Sichen raised his eyebrows, a look of surprise on his face: "Oh? The genius of the Hongchen family is making friends with Shrek?"

The meaning of his words was very clear. He knew that the Hongchen Family played an important role in the Sun and Moon Empire, and the current head of the Mingde Hall was called Jing Hongchen.

At the same time, as the representative of Shrek Academy, he shoulders the honor and mission of Shrek.

There were already many conflicts between the original three empires and the Sun-Moon Empire. As the leader of the original three empires in the fight against the Sun-Moon Empire, Shrek's relationship with Mingde Hall has always been tense.

Now the younger generation of geniuses from Mingde Hall took the initiative to make friends with the younger generation of geniuses from Shrek, which surprised Zhou Sichen very much.

Xiao Hongchen didn't care about these things, he just kept smiling, with a kind of open-mindedness that transcended the world: "I only represent myself, not any force."

His eyes were firm, as if he was showing Zhou Sichen his determination.

"I know you may not believe me, but I came here with Meng today just to make friends. After all, we are geniuses of the same generation, and we will inevitably compete in this era in the future." There was a hint of emotion in Xiao Hongchen's voice. He knew very well how rare it was for geniuses to appreciate each other in this world where the strong are respected.

Zhou Sichen peeled another orange and listened to Xiao Hongchen's words thoughtfully.

To be honest, he actually felt quite sorry for Xiao Hongchen.

With his talent, he may even surpass his grandfather Jing Hongchen in the future, but the original novel directly kills him off halfway through the plot, making the genius become like a fool. The ending is really sad.

Now that he has this opportunity to get in touch with them, Zhou Sichen actually doesn’t dislike the Hongchen siblings.

Even Zhou Sichen already has some big plans in his mind. Maybe through the relationship between these two siblings, the Hongchen family can become his helper in the future.

So no matter what, if I can get along with these two guys, there will be an extra hidden clue buried in the Sun and Moon Empire in the future.

Listening to Xiao Hongchen's words, Zhou Sichen stuffed a slice of orange into his mouth, and then handed it directly to the slender hand that was stretched out to him.

Zhou Sichen said: "That makes sense. Actually, I don't reject you. After all, apart from our different positions, we don't actually have any deep hatred."

Zhou Sichen's voice was calm, revealing an indifference to the conflicts of the previous generation.

Hearing Zhou Sichen's words, Xiao Hongchen's eyes lit up, as if a fire of hope was burning in his eyes: "Right, if it is possible, maybe we can become good friends, don't you think?"

There was a hint of expectation in Xiao Hongchen's tone, hoping that Zhou Sichen would agree with his idea.

Hearing this, Zhou Sichen couldn't help but look at Xiao Hongchen, then at Meng Hongchen whose mouth was stuffed full: "If we were friends, I would probably choose her."

There was a hint of smile in Zhou Sichen's eyes. He looked at Meng Hongchen and found it very interesting.

Meng Hongchen's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly swallowed the orange in his mouth, saying anxiously, "You really have good taste. Not only is she good-looking, she also has a good temperament and is so good at talking."

Her face was filled with a happy smile, like a child who had been praised.

Zhou Sichen smiled, and that smile was warm and kind: "I'm satisfied as long as I have delicious food. It must be fun to be friends with you." Zhou Sichen's words were full of love for Meng Hongchen, as if he felt from the bottom of his heart that this simple girl was very cute.

Meng Hongchen chuckled, and the laughter was crisp and pleasant, echoing in the air like a silver bell: "Hehe, although this is only the second time we meet, I feel that you must have a tacit understanding with me!"

When saying this, Meng Hongchen's eyes revealed an innocent trust, as if he had already regarded Zhou Sichen as his best friend.

Xiao Hongchen knew that his sister was obsessed with looks, so he immediately interrupted their conversation and said, "No matter what, there is no hatred between us. Competition is competition, and we don't have any grudges from the previous generation when we get along privately."

His voice was firm, hoping to lay down a clear rule for their friendship.

Zhou Sichen nodded, with an affirmative look on his face: "I'm fine."

Meng Hongchen raised his little hand, the action was full of childishness: "I have no problem either!"

Her voice was clear and loud, as if declaring her determination to the world.

Then she reached out to Zhou Sichen, who had just peeled the orange, but this time her little hand was slapped by Zhou Sichen's slender finger.

Meng Hongchen's eyes were about to turn red, but she heard Zhou Sichen's gentle and warm voice: "Eating too many oranges will make you get angry, and getting angry will cause acne, and getting acne will make you ugly, do you know?"

Zhou Sichen's tone was very gentle, as if he was coaxing a child. As he spoke, Zhou Sichen slowly enjoyed the oranges.

Meng Hongchen was stunned for a moment, and finally just nodded and said softly: "I know, I won't eat too much."

There was a hint of grievance in her voice, but more of it was trust in Zhou Sichen.

When Xiao Hongchen saw his own sister installing the clips, he almost couldn't help laughing.

Fortunately, Xiao Hongchen held back and said to Zhou Sichen: "Since we are making friends, let's have a drink?"

There was a hint of excitement in his eyes, hoping to enhance the friendship between them through drinking.

Zhou Sichen did not refuse. He took this opportunity to improve his relationship with the brother and sister. Maybe he could even gain a good friendship.

……

Not long after, Zhou Sichen returned with a bag of oranges. Lang Ya and Yu Tao had disappeared, as if they had never appeared.

Zhou Sichen had not originally planned to contact the Body Sect so early. After all, he was still waiting to go directly to the Body Sect to shock Du Bu Si.

But this time, since he happened to run into people from the Benti Sect, he thought he could give them some smoke bombs.

Anyway, he is now a young holy dragon of light in public. Only those who have a little status and strength in the soul master world can guess the top existence standing behind him, so Zhou Sichen is not worried about his own safety.

The ability that was just activated by the Soul Eye only gave Yu Tao a little more knowledge and did not cause any harm.

Therefore, Zhou Sichen was not worried that these two guys would be stubborn and do something out of line.

Zhou Sichen took the orange and sat down opposite Jiang Peng again. He casually broke one open and started eating: "This orange is good, full of juice. It's very suitable for people like you who are recovering from injuries."

Jiang Peng was speechless. Can eating oranges heal injuries?

However, he still grabbed an orange with one hand, peeled it and put the whole thing into his mouth, and found that it tasted really good.

While eating, Jiang Peng said, "Brother Zhou, why did it take you so long to buy an orange? I almost thought you were gone."

Zhou Sichen explained: "I happened to meet two friends and chatted for a while."

Jiang Peng didn't ask who the two friends were, but just nodded and said, "Brother Zhou is really popular. He has friends everywhere."

Zhou Sichen laughed: "It's okay..."

The two chatted about all sorts of things while eating oranges. Unconsciously, time passed quietly, and as the sky gradually darkened, they got up together and walked towards the hotel.

Along the way, the street lights gradually lit up, and the dim light shone on them, outlining two slender figures.

Although Jiang Peng and his team were eliminated in the semi-finals, as people who love the Soul Master Competition, they still chose to stay and watch the finals, so they still stayed at the Star King Hotel.

Zhou Sichen had just returned to the hotel room and had not had time to sit down and drink a sip of water when Ye Guyi pushed the door open in a hurry.

As soon as she entered the room, she didn't even say hello, but directly asked: "Why do those two little guys, Sun and Moon, want to see you? Are they trying to use a honey trap on a little pervert like you?"

As she spoke, she had already walked quickly to Zhou Sichen's side, leaned her head slightly closer, and sniffed gently with her straight nose like a clever deer, but the air was filled with only the fresh scent of oranges.

Zhou Sichen noticed Ye Guyi's little action and felt secretly proud of himself. Last time, the smell left by Xu Jiujiu caused his sister to misunderstand for a long time. This time, he had made preparations in advance and bought oranges specially.

Zhou Sichen had his signature smile on his face and half-jokingly replied, "It would be great if it was a honey trap. I could take advantage of it."

He originally wanted to tease Ye Guyi to lighten the atmosphere, but he didn't expect Ye Guyi's reaction to be so strong.

Ye Guyi frowned instantly and said in a feigned anger, "Okay, you really want something good?"

She clasped her hands in front of her chest and stared at Zhou Sichen, as if she wanted to see through him.

Seeing that Ye Guyi seemed to be really angry, Zhou Sichen stopped smiling and explained seriously, "The Hongchen brothers and sisters don't have any obvious purpose this time. It seems that they really want to make friends, but they are definitely not so naive. They probably want to get some useful information from me."

Upon hearing this, Ye Guyi raised his eyebrows, and a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes: "Do they want to know the teacher's information?"

In her opinion, the most valuable information in Shrek Academy is the teacher's strength and trump cards.

Zhou Sichen nodded and said with certainty: "It is very likely, but don't worry, I have been beating around the bush with them for a long time, and they are still a little naive to get information from me for free!"

"However, the identities of these two guys are of some use in Sun and Moon. Maybe they can be of some help in the future."

Hearing this, Ye Guyi knew that Zhou Sichen was always smart and was definitely not the kind of person who would suffer losses.

Ye Guyi walked around Zhou Sichen and sniffed carefully. The air was full of the scent of oranges.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. She suddenly reached out, pushed Zhou Sichen onto the sofa, and sat down on it in one smooth motion.

Ye Guyi pretended to be serious with her pretty face, and said solemnly: "Who would smear so many oranges on their body? Tell me the truth, did you fall for their honey trap?"

There was a hint of cunning in her eyes, and she stared closely at Zhou Sichen's eyes, not missing any slight changes in his expression.

Zhou Sichen was startled by this sudden action, and his heart skipped a beat: "Damn, it's all Jiang Peng's fault. He ate too many oranges and this is what's going on!"
