Douluo: Twin Origins, Suppressing the World

Chapter 169 Mingde Hall: The Ideal Son-in-Law?
"Ling Shen, we've finally met!"

"My name is Meng Hongchen."

When Meng Hongchen came to Ling Shuang, she took the initiative to extend her slender white hand. Her crimson eyes curved into crescent shapes, her red lips turned up, and her expression was excited. She looked exactly like a fan meeting her idol.

This……

After a long while, he stared at Meng Hongchen's behavior and fell into deep thought.

She was now unsure whether Meng Hongchen was deliberately putting on this act.

In Xu Jiujiu's original thought, Meng Hongchen, as the granddaughter of the head of Mingde Hall, an important institution of the Sun Moon Empire, should be very similar to herself as a princess in terms of personality and conduct, but now it seems that this is not the case.

If Ling Shuang knew what Xu Jiujiu was thinking, she would definitely shake her head and deny it.

No, Your Highness, actually Meng Hongchen and you do have some things in common.

For example, this appearance-obsessed nature.

Despite Xu Jiujiu's seemingly normal demeanor, her first encounter with Ling Shuang was actually due to Xu Jiujiu trying to strike up a conversation.

However, Xu Jiujiu was better at controlling herself and didn't completely open up her thoughts like Meng Hongchen.

Ling Shuang politely and gently shook Meng Hongchen's outstretched hand, not wanting the girl to lose face in front of everyone.

But before Meng Hongchen could feel the warmth of the boy's hand, Ling Shuang had already withdrawn it.

Meng Hongchen felt it was a bit of a pity, but also thought it was only natural.

A male god should be like this. If Ling Shuang were to be captivated by him at first glance like those guys at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Meng Hongchen would be disappointed.

In Meng Hongchen's eyes, this is exactly what Ling Shuang should look like.

The more difficult he was to win over, the more excited she became.

Just as Xiao Hongchen had thought, Meng Hongchen's competitive spirit was no less than his, and perhaps even greater.

However, her competitive spirit seems to have gone astray.

Ling Shuang didn't continue talking to Meng Hongchen. Instead, she simply nodded goodbye and then went to the waiting area with Xu Jiujiu and the others.

Watching his departing figure, Meng Hongchen's beautiful eyes seemed to sparkle with stars. She stood still, watching Ling Shuang leave.

It wasn't until Xiao Hongchen couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to pull her away that the matter ended.

After taking her seat, she covered her red lips for a long time and teased, "Young Master Ling is really charming. He has completely captivated the young lady of Mingde Hall."

"How about Young Master Ling makes a sacrifice and brings them here with us?"

As they spent more time together, Xu Jiujiu and Ling Shuang became more and more casual in their interactions. Xu Jiujiu also gained a general understanding of Ling Shuang's personality, which is why she took the initiative to make jokes.

However, Ling Shuang was not the kind of little boy who would blush and have his mind in a mess just from being teased.

He glanced at the princess and retorted, "Indeed, otherwise Your Highness wouldn't have struck up a conversation with me in the first place."

"I have no problem making a sacrifice, but isn't Your Highness worried that I might end up being seduced instead of seduced?"

"The son-in-law of Mingdetang is quite tempting."

Upon hearing this, Xu Jiujiu's pretty face flushed slightly.

She then recalled that it was she who had been attracted to Ling Shuang and had taken the initiative to strike up a conversation with her.

Although Xu Jiujiu has a good mental fortitude, she is still a young girl after all, and it's inevitable that she would feel a little shy when such things are brought up directly.

As for Ling Shuang's subsequent words, Xu Jiujiu didn't take them seriously at all.

She knew Ling Shuang's personality well enough to know that she would never be so easily lured away by Meng Hongchen.

Although Meng Hongchen was indeed beautiful, Xu Jiujiu did not feel that she was inferior to her.

Ling Shuang hadn't given her a second glance when she tried to flirt with her, so she didn't believe she could be easily swayed by Meng Hongchen. As for the so-called Mingde Hall's ideal son-in-law...

This would indeed be a huge temptation for most people, after all, it could be a chance to rise to the top in one step, but in Ling Shuang's eyes, it was no temptation at all.

If Ling Shuang were willing, he could become the prince consort of the Star Luo Empire right now.

The Xingluo royal family is now eager to give Xu Jiujiu to Ling Shuang.

They didn't even care that Ling Shuang already had Jiang Nannan as her girlfriend and Xue Di, a woman with whom she seemed to have a close relationship.

The Starry Sky Royal Family stated that they don't even need a legal wife.

So-called traditional rules can be flexibly adapted in the face of absolute talent and the deterrent power of a Limit Douluo.

However, Ling Shuang wasn't interested, which is why she remained silent.

Given his background, he had absolutely no reason to care about being the son-in-law of Jackie Chan at Mingdetang.

Therefore, Xu Jiujiu was not worried about this at all.

Meng Hongchen made the already tense atmosphere turn eerie.

Some of Ling Shuang's female fans were itching to fight back. If they weren't unable to beat Meng Hongchen, they probably would have gone on stage to challenge this guy who dared to flirt with their idol.

As for the men, they were incredibly envious.

Although Meng Hongchen is from an enemy country's academy, her good looks are undeniable.

Many people present still really liked this white-haired, red-eyed beauty.

If it were them, they would most likely have already rushed up and hugged those captivating long legs, calling her "Mom."

Both sides took their seats in their respective waiting areas.

Because it was the final, Xu Jiawei personally announced the start of the competition.

The referee for this match was also changed to a Title Douluo-level Heavenly Fiend Douluo.

Although Xu Jiawei didn't mind the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy replicating the miserable state of Shrek Academy, it was the finals after all, and he still had to show the necessary seriousness.

Moreover, Ling Shuang wasn't the first to go on stage this time; he was the backup.
Among the participants was his own younger sister. For the safety of Princess Xu Jiujiu of the Empire, Xu Jiawei couldn't possibly send an ordinary referee to oversee the event.

"First, we'll begin with the individual competition. Please come up to the stage, both competitors."

At the referee's call, representatives from both colleges stepped onto the stage.

Neither of them were key players for their respective colleges, and both sides tacitly gave their teammates a chance to showcase themselves.

However, just as Ling Shuang had predicted, if he were not included, there would still be a certain gap between the Star Luo Royal Academy and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy teams.

Although Xu Jiujiu's abilities are outstanding, the Star Crown Martial Soul is more impressive in team battles than in individual matches.

Ma Rulong accomplished the feat of defeating three opponents single-handedly.

When Ling Shuang, who was guaranteed to win, arrived, only Ma Rulong, Xiao Hongchen, and Meng Hongchen remained.

Despite the apparent overwhelming advantage of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team, neither the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team nor the Star Luo Royal Academy team showed any signs of tension or disappointment.

Because they all knew very well that the main event was just beginning.

"Please welcome Ling Shuang from the Star Luo Royal Academy to the stage."

Ma Rulong took a deep breath as he watched the dignified young man slowly walk onto the stage.

The boss is here...

　The team competition should actually have come first, followed by the individual competition. The author made a mistake, and apologizes profusely. However, this doesn't affect the reading experience, and I hope all readers will understand!
