Douluo: Twin Origins, Suppressing the World

Chapter 153 A Long-Standing Envy
Ling Shuang did not look down on this princess because of this.

It's perfectly normal to feel a little disoriented when bombarded with so much information.

"What, Your Highness, are you going to hand me over to Shrek Academy?" Ling Shuang joked.

Xu Jiujiu also understood the joking tone in Ling Shuang's words, so she wasn't nervous. Instead, she joked back at Ling Shuang:
"That would also require the consent of Young Master Ling's Lady Xue, otherwise Jiu Jiu wouldn't be able to bear the responsibility."

The two exchanged a smile, and Ling Shuang then asked with great interest:

"Speaking of Xuanzi's death in Star Luo City, and Princess Jiujiu's unwillingness to hand over us, the culprits, won't Shrek Academy cause you trouble?"

"And they might use that as an excuse to make me withdraw from the competition."

Ling Shuang had complete faith that Shrek Academy was capable of doing such a thing.

Even if Shrek Academy is removed from this competition, it will still give them more hope.

She shook her head after a long while, her pretty face full of confidence: "Young Master Ling, you are overthinking this. After all, our Star Luo Empire still has some strength."

"Moreover, this matter has nothing to do with our Star Luo royal family. The royal family is not responsible for being provoked by a non-national powerhouse."

"If Shrek Academy comes after us for this, we won't hesitate to use some means to show them what the Star Luo Empire is all about!"

As he continued, Xu Jiujiu's words carried a chilling killing intent.

Although this princess is beautiful, she has never been a kind person!

"As for the second point you mentioned, Young Master Ling..."

Xu Jiujiu revealed a sly smile: "It was Lord Xue who killed Xuanzi, not you, Young Master Ling."

"Even if Shrek Academy wants to force Young Master Ling to withdraw from the competition, it is unreasonable. As the organizer of this competition, the Star Luo Royal Family will absolutely not agree to such an unreasonable request."

Shrek Academy is left with no choice but to swallow this bitter pill; they have no way to complain!

As the two were chatting and laughing, a knock came at the door.

Ling Shuang stood up and opened the door.

The stunningly beautiful faces of Jiang Nannan and the others came into view.

"Xiaoshuang, you're awake. We're going to call you for breakfast. We've heard that the breakfast specialties in Xingluo City are quite good."

Jiang Nannan said with a smile.

I don't know what she and Xue Di talked about last night, but the atmosphere between them had obviously improved a lot.

This was evident from the fact that the two were holding hands and from the jealous look in Hyotei's eyes.

"Mm," Ling Shuang nodded in response.

Suddenly, Jiang Nannan's gaze froze.

She noticed the beautiful figure sitting on the sofa, and the smile on her face froze.

"Xiaoshuang, who is that girl?"

Because Xu Jiujiu's position was with her back to the door, Jiang Nannan couldn't see her face, only her long hair.

Early in the morning, another girl was found in Ling Shuang's room. Even Jiang Nannan, who trusted Ling Shuang completely, couldn't help but have wild thoughts.

The Snow Emperor, standing to the side, had an icy expression.

She accepted Jiang Nannan, but that doesn't mean she can unconditionally accept other girls.

If Xiaoshuang doesn't behave...

It's best to keep them obediently by your side!
The two carefree individuals, Hyotei and Wang Qiu'er, were completely oblivious to Xu Jiujiu and continued chatting amongst themselves.

Sensing the increasingly dangerous aura emanating from Jiang Nannan and Xue Di, Ling Shuang felt a chill run down her spine.

He didn't feel this threat when he discovered Xuanzi last night.

Fortunately, Xu Jiujiu had already stood up and walked over.

"Miss Jiang Nannan, Lord Xue, Lord Bing, and Miss Qiu'er, good morning." Xu Jiujiu greeted them with a smile.

When the princess looked at the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress, her eyes showed a noticeable increase in respect.

Especially when facing the Snow Empress, although the Snow Empress did not exude any aura, she always had an inexplicable sense of oppression.

Yesterday's news still made the princess unconsciously put pressure on herself when facing the Snow Emperor.

Upon seeing Xu Jiujiu, Jiang Nannan and Xue Di quickly realized that things were probably not as they thought, and their auras noticeably calmed down.

"Hmm." Xue Di crossed her arms and responded faintly.

She treats everyone except those she knows well in the same way, regardless of their status.

Perhaps only a strong person could slightly change her attitude, but Xu Jiujiu was clearly not one of them.

But Jiang Nannan was much more polite.

"Your Highness, what are you doing in Xiao Shuang's room?" After smiling and responding to Xu Jiujiu, Jiang Nannan gently inquired about the reason why Xu Jiujiu had appeared in Ling Shuang's room.

Although I feel that things are probably not as I initially thought, and that there is something important going on, what if it is?
Through her experience at Shrek Academy, Jiang Nannan now has no doubt about her boyfriend's charm.

It's not impossible that Princess Jiujiu fell in love with him.

Xu Jiujiu noticed Jiang Nannan's hidden wariness and couldn't help but smile.

"Miss Nan, please rest assured, I'm only here to ask Young Master Ling about what happened yesterday, nothing else."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nannan knew that Xu Jiujiu had seen through her little thoughts, and her earlobes turned slightly red.

She felt both shy and relieved.

Princess Jiujiu made her stance clear, which greatly reduced the pressure on Jiang Nannan.

After all, she wasn't the Snow Empress; she didn't have that kind of absolute confidence.

Jiang Nannan didn't think she was really sure she could beat Xu Jiujiu.

Her status as a princess of the Star Luo Empire is no less impressive than her stunning beauty, making her a formidable competitor.

To be honest, Jiang Nannan actually felt somewhat inferior in front of this princess.

After taking in Jiang Nannan's reaction for a long time, he shook his head slightly in his heart.

As Young Master Ling's girlfriend, this won't do...

To be honest, Xu Jiujiu was quite curious about how Jiang Nannan, with her personality, became the girlfriend of someone as dazzling as Ling Shuang.

In her opinion, Jiang Nannan's personality was such that she would never be able to keep Ling Shuang, who would inevitably attract countless suitors.

No, that's not right, it doesn't seem so.

After a long while, he suddenly remembered Ling Shuang's attitude towards him.

Although friendly, there's always a sense of distance.

Sometimes she would intentionally or unintentionally make some ambiguous moves, but each time it was unsuccessful.

This young master Ling always manages to keep the distance just right without making things awkward.

Xu Jiujiu still has a certain degree of confidence in herself.

Since Ling Shuang can remain calm and composed towards herself, she is unlikely to be affected by those unwanted suitors.

All I can say now is envy.

If she had met Ling Shuang before Jiang Nannan, she might have been able to turn this dazzling new generation of Soul Masters into the consort of the Star Luo Empire.

Reborn, I stole the rising star of the Soul Master world!

Unfortunately, reality doesn't offer "what ifs," and she wasn't a reincarnated person.
