Douluo: Traveling Through the Universe, Reversing Time and Space

Chapter 517 Silencing Huo Yuhao, Zhang Lexuan's Affection

"I won't be at ease if you don't accept this soul bone."

Shi Yu looked at Huo Yuhao with a smile, her tone calm, but it sounded somewhat frightening to Huo Yuhao, who dared not say no.

The other party's attitude was clear: this was hush money; they had taken the soul bone and were to keep quiet.

If you take the things and then tell others, he will most likely kill you.

"I'll forget about what just happened."

Huo Yuhao tried to keep his tone calm as he spoke, his heart pounding.

Shi Yu nodded slightly. Giving Huo Yuhao hush money was actually a way of indirectly helping Electrolux.

The other party was keen to cultivate Huo Yuhao, and I only benefited from him because of that, so I should reciprocate.

Giving Huo Yuhao a soul bone might be extremely precious, but for Huo Yuhao himself, it wasn't a particularly significant gift.

His soul bones are now counted in piles, so giving away one piece won't change the status of those piles of soul bones.

With a single thought, Shi Yu took Huo Yuhao back to Shrek Academy.

After returning, he left, leaving Huo Yuhao standing there for a while.

Huo Yuhao shook her head, suppressing her various emotions. She might not be as good as Shi Yu, but she would strive to be better than the others.

Shi Yu arrived at the best restaurant in Shrek City, where Jiang Nannan, Zhang Lexuan, and Ma Xiaotao had been waiting for a long time and were almost asleep.

"Some things have been delayed."

When Shi Yu arrived and saw the three women casting resentful glances at him, he felt a little embarrassed.

"If it weren't for your special privileges, this shop would have already closed down."

Ma Xiaotao said with a hint of temper, pointing to the clock, "It's almost 11 p.m. now."

Good things come to those who wait.

Shi Yu chuckled and naturally sat down next to Jiang Nannan.

Jiang Nannan gave Shi Yu a kiss, not caring that Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao were still there.

She even sat directly on Shi Yu's lap, wrapped her arms around Shi Yu's neck, and looked at Shi Yu with deep affection.

"What are you doing? Le Xuan and I are still here."

Ma Xiaotao also learned about Jiang Nannan and Shi Yu's relationship. They weren't exactly boyfriend and girlfriend, but they did everything that boyfriend and girlfriend would do, so they were no different from boyfriend and girlfriend.

Zhang Lexuan's expression was slightly unnatural, and she tightened her grip on her lap, almost crushing the fabric of her skirt into powder.

"It's not good to eat like this."

Shi Yu patted Jiang Nannan's bottom, making her sit back in her seat.

The restaurant was still open for them, and soon a sumptuous meal was served.

The four of them ate, chatted, and drank wine.

Ma Xiaotao drank the most heartily, making Shi Yu feel like he was a woman.

Zhang Lexuan drank in a more refined manner, while Jiang Nannan drank in a more conventional way.

After several rounds of drinks and five dishes, Ma Xiaotao had finished her fifth bottle of wine, and this was the most exhilarating moment of her life.

He put his arm around Shi Yu and they became like brothers, and what he talked about most was how unfair it was that God was so unfair, and why Shi Yu was so talented and surpassed him so quickly.

Ma Xiaotao has a strong competitive spirit, and Yu always smiles and changes the subject, occasionally making jokes that make Ma Xiaotao call him a hooligan to divert her attention.

You can't be too harsh on a strong-willed woman like Ma Xiaotao. It's one thing to be depressed or sad, but the real danger is that it might cause her to develop inner demons.

Such people are often the most serious and easily become impatient with cultivation advancement, which can lead to serious mistakes and demonic possession. He didn't want to cause Ma Xiaotao's death because of his actions; he would feel guilty for the rest of his life.

Jiang Nannan's face was burning hot from drinking; she couldn't hold her liquor and wished she could glue herself and Shi Yu together.

Zhang Lexuan is usually quite normal, but tonight she drank a bit too much and looked a little tipsy, which added a unique charm to her gentle temperament.

She walked quietly to the side, seemingly preoccupied with something.

The four walked along the already somewhat deserted street. Shi Yu, the most sober one, took care of Ma Xiaotao and Jiang Nannan, who were drunk and talking nonsense.

They didn't use their soul power to dispel the effects of the alcohol; otherwise, what would be the point of drinking?
Shi Yu already had a high alcohol tolerance, easily getting three women drunk. Now that his body had reached a divine state, ordinary alcohol was even less likely to make him drunk.

He drank more than a dozen bottles of wine but remained perfectly sober, showing no signs of intoxication.

"Sister Lexuan, what are you thinking about? Is it because I'm in a bad mood?"

Shi Yu had been keeping an eye on Zhang Lexuan, and as they walked, he couldn't help but talk to her.

Some things are better left unsaid; it's better to talk about them than to keep them to yourself.

Zhang Lexuan looked at Shi Yu. In the darkness, Shi Yu seemed to radiate light, making him clearer to her than in daylight.

Intoxicated, she lost some of her usual rationality and nodded her head.

"I should wish you and Nannan well as you get together, but to be honest, I'm still a little jealous."

Zhang Lexuan spoke in a low voice, looking straight ahead and avoiding Shi Yu's gaze.

With a thought, Shi Yu used his mental power to cover and seal off Ma Xiaotao and Jiang Nannan's five senses, so that they wouldn't hear his conversation with Zhang Lexuan.

This message was also conveyed to Zhang Lexuan, allowing her to speak freely without any reservations.

"Sister Lexuan, I can sense some of your feelings for me. To be honest, I do have some feelings for you too."

"You are intelligent, gentle, elegant, beautiful, and have a high talent for cultivation. It's hard not to like someone who is so outstanding."

"It's just that my affections aren't consistent; in a way, they're more like lust at first sight."

"I hope you can accept my feelings for you, but rationally speaking, it's not fair to you."

"Both men and women yearn for a unique love, and I think you feel the same way, but that's something I can't give you."

Shi Yu didn't deliberately look at Zhang Lexuan; he just casually spoke his mind.

At this moment, Jiang Nannan and Ma Xiaotao were like air, not affecting their conversation.

Zhang Lexuan's hand tightened, and she couldn't help but look at Shi Yu.

Shi Yu wasn't exactly handsome enough to get killed, but he had the kind of masculine and handsome looks that most girls would like.

His height of 1.84 meters, coupled with his upright posture and ethereal temperament, makes him quite charming.

Attraction between men and women is nothing more than appearance, talent, conversation, and temperament.

Shi Yu possesses all of these qualities, and he is exactly the type that Zhang Lexuan finds appealing, so it's no wonder she's attracted to him.

Looking at Shi Yu, his heart began to beat faster uncontrollably.

"What if I said I don't mind that your love isn't exclusive?"

Zhang Lexuan stopped and, taking advantage of her drunkenness, asked the question she wouldn't have dared to ask when she was sober.

This is a shameful question that she would never ask when she is sober, and it is also the question that has been troubling her.

Shi Yu paused, looking at Zhang Lexuan. The intellectual senior sister was somewhat sentimental at this moment, staring straight at him, waiting for his answer.

He could sense Zhang Lexuan's nervousness and knew how much courage it took for her to ask that question.
