Douluo: Twin Origins, Suppressing the World

Chapter 177 Meng Hongchen's Recruitment, Jiang Nannan's Vigilance

After the awards ceremony, the audience left under the guidance of the soldiers.

Meng Hongchen ran to the rest area of ​​Xingluo Royal Academy again.

Upon seeing the blonde beauty standing intimately beside Ling Shuang, the girl's crimson eyes showed a slight change in emotion, but it was quickly suppressed.

"Ling Shen!"

Meng Hongchen approached Ling Shuang, her hands clasped behind her back, her body slightly leaning forward, her crimson eyes narrowed, and a bright smile graced her fair face.

Upon seeing Meng Hongchen, a hint of wariness flashed in Jiang Nannan's eyes, who had been smiling and talking to Ling Shuang.

She had noticed the white-haired girl from the Sun and Moon Empire while watching the game.

With that undisguised gaze and infatuated look, Jiang Nannan couldn't possibly be unaware that this guy had feelings for her boyfriend.

Although Jiang Nannan has accepted Xue Di, that doesn't mean she won't be jealous.

She had her own selfish motives and of course didn't want many girls to get close to Ling Shuang.

Jiang Nannan's gaze swept almost imperceptibly toward Xue Di beside her.

Standing on the other side of Ling Shuang, Xue Di crossed her arms, her expression indifferent, ignoring Meng Hongchen's arrival.

Seeing this, Jiang Nannan couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

If the Snow Empress were willing to act, she could easily control the young girl from the Sun and Moon Empire in front of her.

However, Xue Di didn't take Meng Hongchen seriously at all and wouldn't pay any attention to him, which disappointed Jiang Nannan.

In the end, she was the one who had to deal with it.

Xue Di may not care about Meng Hongchen, but Jiang Nannan cannot.

She didn't have the absolute confidence of Xue Di.

Jiang Nannan felt that Meng Hongchen posed a great threat, and not just a little.

Her status, temperament, and appearance are all top-notch; aside from being a fangirl, there's practically nothing wrong with her.

It can be said that the level of threat is in no way inferior to that of Princess Xu Jiujiu, who is currently receiving an award.

No, that's not right, it might be a bigger threat!

Xu Jiujiu did not do anything like Meng Hongchen.

Although the princess initially took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Ling Shuang, she became noticeably more restrained after learning about Ling Shuang's identity and that she already had a girlfriend.

Although Jiang Nannan knew very well that Xu Jiujiu still harbored ulterior motives, he did, after all, consider her feelings.

However, Meng Hongchen in front of him seemed completely oblivious to the fact that his girlfriend was right next to him.

In this respect, Meng Hongchen's threat level already exceeds that of Xu Jiujiu.

And this girl's appearance...

During the time she exchanged letters with Ling Shuang, Jiang Nannan learned about many of Ling Shuang's hobbies.

There was one thing she remembered very clearly!

In his letter, Ling Shuang answered a question about the type of girl he liked, saying that he quite liked girls with white hair, and even better if they had red eyes.

Doesn't the dreamlike world before us perfectly fit this description?
With this in mind, Jiang Nannan became even more vigilant and had already added Meng Hongchen to her list of top threats.

A girl who perfectly fits your aesthetic standards and is extremely proactive—that's a threat level that's practically off the charts!
"Xiao Shuang, who is this?"

Jiang Nannan wrapped her arm around Ling Shuang's, asserting her dominance over Meng Hongchen.

Weren't you watching the game from the sidelines the whole time?

Ling Shuang was speechless at Jiang Nannan's question.

His final battle was against Meng Hongchen. The referee, Tian Sha Douluo, clearly stated Meng Hongchen's identity by saying, "Ling Shuang of the Star Luo Royal Academy team versus Meng Hongchen of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy."

However, Ling Shuang wouldn't be so straightforward as to actually say that at this moment.

“Meng Hongchen, a contestant from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.” Ling Shuang answered Jiang Nannan cooperatively, and also introduced Jiang Nannan’s identity. “Jiang Nannan, my girlfriend.”

That's exactly the effect Jiang Nannan wanted.

Her fair chin tilted slightly towards Meng Hongchen.

See? This is her boyfriend, and he's biased towards her!
However, Meng Hongchen's expression remained unchanged in the face of Jiang Nannan's protest.

She had already prepared for this situation when she saw Jiang Nannan come over.

She smiled and greeted Jiang Nannan: "Hello, Sister Nannan!"

You can't handle any pressure at all?
Meng Hongchen's composed reaction made Jiang Nannan feel increasingly troubled.

This is the most difficult to handle.

However, since the other party was so nice, Jiang Nannan couldn't be cold to them.

She forced a "bright" smile and took Meng Hongchen's outstretched hand.

The two girls had bright smiles on their beautiful faces, making them look exceptionally charming.

Xiao Hongchen, who had come with Meng Hongchen, suddenly trembled slightly, her hands unconsciously tightening around her clothes.

Why do I suddenly feel so cold?

With her confrontation with Jiang Nannan temporarily over, Meng Hongchen turned her attention back to Ling Shuang.

"Ling Shen, what are your plans after this? Will you continue to stay at Star Luo Royal Academy?"

Although it was in the Star Luo Empire, not the Sun Moon Empire, they still possessed basic intelligence gathering capabilities.

Meng Hongchen has already understood everything.

Ling Shuang had always been at Shrek Academy, but only recently appeared at Star Luo Royal Academy.

Although he didn't know what happened during that time, Meng Hongchen was certain of one thing:
Ling Shuang must have been influenced by some factor to represent Xingluo Royal Academy in this competition.

In other words, it is highly likely that he will not stay at the Star Luo Royal Academy.

Having figured this out, Meng Hongchen suddenly had another idea:
Poaching!
It wasn't just personal gain; it was also a consideration for the future of the entire Sun Moon Empire.

Through this continent-wide advanced soul master competition, Ling Shuang's talent, which is enough to crush everyone in the entire soul master world, has been displayed to the public.

If I could recruit him to the Sun Moon Empire, not only would my personal desire to spend more time with my idol be fulfilled, but it would also greatly benefit the future of the Sun Moon Empire.

Both for public and private reasons, Meng Hongchen felt that she should make an effort.

"If you haven't made up your mind yet, you can come to our Sun Moon Empire. As long as you're willing to come, we will definitely offer you satisfactory treatment!"

Meng Hongchen extended an olive branch.

Although he hadn't discussed it with anyone in the empire yet, Meng Hongchen believed that if Ling Shuang was willing to join the Sun Moon Empire, the royal family would certainly not be stingy.

Even if the royal family is unwilling, she can simply let Mingdetang pay for it!

If her grandfather disagreed, she would cry until he agreed!

Although Xiao Hongchen was completely exasperated by his younger sister's infatuation with a boy, he still supported her decision.

If we could recruit Ling Shuang, that would be the best outcome.

Perhaps I can even exchange cultivation insights with Ling Shuang and improve my skills to a higher level.

Xiao Hongchen no longer had any desire to compare himself to Ling Shuang; he now only wanted to improve himself further.

"Miss Meng, isn't this inappropriate?"

Before Ling Shuang could answer, a gentle yet proud and melodious voice rang out.

She walked over slowly, her beautiful eyes harboring a hidden hostility.
