Douluo: Dragon King's Divine Elegy

Chapter 134 Childhood Sweethearts Share a Bite, and the Sweetheart's Father Returns!

I pressed the doorbell in front of the villa.

Nan Liujing waited quietly in place, holding a bouquet of flowers called Starlight.

A moment later, footsteps sounded from inside the door.

The sliding door automatically slid to one side, revealing a pretty young girl.

Her long, golden hair was tied in a high ponytail, cascading down her back and revealing her fair, jade-like neck, giving her a dashing and capable air. Her azure eyes, like a deep sea under a starry night, were sharp as swords, yet softened the moment she saw who it was. Her eyebrows were delicate and spirited, her features exquisitely beautiful, exuding a cold and aloof beauty. Her figure was slender, and the bright yellow dress accentuated her graceful curves.

"Ah Jing!" Ye Xinglan's face lit up with joy.

"Here you go." Nan Liujing smiled and handed over the bouquet of flowers.

Ye Xinglan was stunned for a moment, gazing at the brilliant gold, which, under the hazy glow of the setting sun, seemed like a bouquet draped in tassels, and her heart softened completely.

The flower symbolizes pure passion and courageous romance.

Generally speaking, it is suitable for young men and women who are more than friends but not quite lovers.

"Aren't you going to invite me in for a seat?" Nan Liujing chuckled as he looked at the girl holding the bouquet, her eyes crinkling with a smile.

"You need to be invited to my house?" Ye Xinglan said before running back to the villa.

Nan Liujing shrugged, closed the sliding door, and followed him into the villa with practiced ease.

Ye Xinglan was picking out the Starlight flowers, preparing to put them in a vase to keep them.

Nan Liujing plopped down on the sofa, casually turned on the TV, and showed no sign of politeness.

While tending to the flowers, Ye Xinglan said, "I heard from Aunt Leng that you were back, and I was planning to go to Shrek City to find you, but I didn't expect you to come to Tiandou City to find me."

Nan Liujing changed the channel: "I originally planned to come here, but I was busy preparing for Soul Forging, so I was delayed for a few days. Now that I can make Soul Forging Metal, I came here right away."

Ye Xinglan paused in her flower-arranging movements, turning her head in surprise: "You know how to Soul Forging?"

"Hmm." Nan Liujing raised an eyebrow at her. "Don't underestimate your childhood friend's strength. Soul Forging is nothing to him."

Ye Xinglan's beautiful eyes widened, and she ran up to Nan Liujing. "That's Soul Forging! Generally, blacksmiths who achieve Soul Forging are over thirty years old."

“That’s what geniuses are like,” Nan Liujing said smugly.

"Look at you, so capable." Ye Xinglan said with disdain, but her eyes were filled with joy.

[A Martial Soul Accompanying You, Destined by Fate—Your Path as a Soul Master is With This Companion.]

Suddenly, the voiceover of an advertisement came on the TV.

Nan Liujing felt the name sounded familiar, and Ye Xinglan was curious, so the two of them happened to look over.

Different cities have their own TV stations. The one Nan Liujing is watching happens to be Tiandou TV, which has the highest daily viewership in Tiandou City. At this moment, as dusk approaches and countless people are heading home, the number of viewers has probably reached its peak.

In the advertisement, a man and a woman stand side by side in front of the Spirit Ascension Platform. They have no lines, exchange a glance, and then enter an ancient forest using the Spirit Ascension Chamber. What follows is a perfect collaboration between the man and woman to resolve various crises. The battle scenes utilize top-notch special effects, showcasing every detail vividly and making them absolutely eye-catching.

Ye Xinglan immediately recognized the man as Nan Liujing and the woman as Gu Yue. She asked in confusion, "When did you two go to shoot an advertisement?"

Nan Liujing was about to answer when his expression suddenly changed. The advertisement had changed to a lush green meadow.

The moonlight poured down, as if draping the earth in a layer of pure tranquility, its soft glow still shimmering above the blades of grass.

It was still a man and a woman.

Gu Yue sat on the grass with her knees drawn up, wearing a silver-colored fitted school uniform. She tilted her head slightly, her snow-white skin was crystal clear, and the cool moonlight cast a soft glow on her beautiful face, making her look like a painting.

The handsome young man lay lazily to one side, his hands behind his head. He wore an exquisite men's school uniform with a midnight blue main color and dark blue patterns. Combined with his tall and well-proportioned figure, he was a perfect clothes hanger.

The boy appeared to be admiring the bright moon, but his gaze was actually fixed on the girl beside him.

Swish.

Just as Ye Xinglan was staring intently at this scene, the TV channel was switched off.

"Change it back." Ye Xinglan's voice turned as cold as winter in an instant.

Gudong.

Nan Liujing swallowed hard, her heart pounding, and calmly said, "What's the point of watching an ad?"

"I'll let you switch back!" Ye Xinglan turned around, her azure eyes sharp as lightning, like endless sword light concealing its edge.

Nan Liujing sighed inwardly and had no choice but to change it back.

He immediately regretted it.

In the scene, the character he played was lying on Gu Yue's lap with his eyes closed, resting. Gu Yue's slender, jade-like hands were gently stroking his face. His silver eyes were quiet and still, only revealing a hint of tenderness when his eyelashes trembled.

The boy opened his eyes, and just as their eyes met, the girl looked away first, as if worried about disturbing the peaceful moment.

With each pull and tug, the boy seemed like a mere foil, while the girl displayed her restrained tenderness to the fullest.

This scene instantly struck a chord with countless people sitting in front of their televisions.

Everyone has been young, and everyone has restrained the tenderness in their hearts.

"It's over."

Nan Liujing covered his eyes with one hand, wondering why the commercials had to come on at this time.

Just then, a bright yellow figure filled the gap between his fingers. Nan Liujing subconsciously looked up and saw Ye Xinglan's sharp pupils, revealing a resolute and domineering aura.

It was as fast, accurate, and ruthless as her swordsmanship.

Ye Xinglan boldly sat directly on his lap.

Their faces were inches apart.

Nan Liujing could even feel the soft, bouncy texture of the other girl's buttocks and thighs. His eyes were fully on the girl's smooth, white skin, and the faint, pleasant fragrance wafted over him, making him feel refreshed and relaxed.

"Xinglan." Nan Liujing was unwilling to admit that he was nervous.

Ye Xinglan didn't speak, her pretty face already flushed. She gritted her teeth and said, "Close your eyes."

Nan Liujing decisively did as instructed.

The next moment, the girl got close, and Nan Liujing's mind seemed to be thrown into the sky, unable to remember anything.

The warm, sweet aroma fills the mind and leaves a lingering aftertaste.

“I knew before that there would be many girls who liked you.”

The thought enters the brain.

Nan Liujing suddenly woke up.

The two were still kissing, but he saw Ye Xinglan's aggrieved eyes.

Nan Liujing couldn't help but feel a slight tremor in his heart.

boom.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of something falling to the ground.

The two childhood sweethearts, like startled rabbits, suddenly turned their heads to look.

Right next to the front door, Ye Changming, the elderly father, stared in disbelief at the scene unfolding in the living room.

"Dad!" Ye Xinglan stood up from Nan Liujing's body in a panic.

"Uncle Ye." Nan Liujing also hurriedly stood up, looking extremely embarrassed.

Who in the family understands?

Childhood sweethearts were just having a little kiss when her father came back!

Ye Changming gave Nan Liujing a cold look, used the Crane Control and Dragon Capture technique to collect the fallen ingredients, and then said, "Xinglan, go back to your room. You come with me."

He walked straight into the kitchen, a terrifying pressure emanating from him.

Ye Xinglan glared fiercely at Nan Liujing and transmitted her voice, "It's all your fault."

Nan Liujing thought to himself, "How can you blame me?"
"Good luck to you." Ye Xinglan decisively betrayed her teammate and ran back to her room. The moment she entered the room, she let out a soft moan and collapsed onto the bed, too afraid to move.

Her face was red, whether from the pillow or from embarrassment and anger, it was hard to tell.

Meanwhile, Nan Liujing obediently went to the kitchen to face his future father-in-law's judgment.

"Is the food delicious?" Ye Changming asked casually as he arranged the ingredients.

"It's delicious." Nan Liujing replied subconsciously, then suddenly realized, "No, Uncle Ye, you've misunderstood."

"Misunderstanding? I saw you eating quite heartily, you almost reached for it!" Ye Changming's eyes widened instantly, he held a kitchen knife, and an astonishing father-in-law power erupted, suppressing his son-in-law who had no power to fight back.

"I'm sorry, Uncle Ye, I misbehaved. If you're angry about anything, just take it out on me." Nan Liujing readily admitted his mistake, hoping to gain his father-in-law's magnanimity.

Ye Changming stared at Nan Liujing, gritting his teeth as he said, "I knew a long time ago that you would eventually ruin this cabbage in our house. But I never expected that the place where you would ruin this cabbage would be my own house."

"Cough." Nan Liujing coughed lightly.

"In the end, daughters are like birds that cannot stay at home once they grow up." Ye Changming sighed. "However, I am at ease knowing that Xinglan is with you. Forget it, young people should take responsibility for their own affairs. Go and be with Xinglan, but remember, be careful with some things. Your current task is cultivation."

"I understand, Dad," Nan Liujing said earnestly.

"Okay, that's good to know."

Ye Changming sighed again, and was just about to wash the vegetables and cook when suddenly he looked up.

"You boy!"

Nan Liujing was nowhere to be seen in the kitchen; he had quietly gone to Ye Xinglan's bedroom.

The door was not closed properly.

Through the crack, Nan Liujing peeked inside and witnessed a brutal one-sided beating.

The girl, who had been attacking fiercely before, became even more ferocious. Her two fair and tender fists repeatedly pounded on a teddy bear that Nan Liujing had made and given to her many years ago.

After being hit repeatedly, the bear's forehead was dented.

Seeing this, Ye Xinglan couldn't bear to part with it. Although she didn't like dolls, she hugged the teddy bear to her chest with great concern and apology: "I'm sorry, I hit you again."

Holding the teddy bear, Ye Xinglan sighed just like Ye Changming: "There are more and more girls around him. Every single one of them is so outstanding. I don't think I can hold onto his heart. What should I do?"

The girl slumped weakly against the teddy bear, her dejected aura almost tangible.

Although she didn't want to admit it, Ye Xinglan panicked when she saw that Gu Yue's tenderness in the advertisement was not an act at all.

That's when, in his excitement, he did that amazing thing.

Outside the door, Nan Liujing leaned against the wall, looking up at the ceiling, remaining silent for a long time.

He wasn't a faithful man, so he tried his best to be nice to every girl he was interested in, but those girls might not be able to accept several women sharing one husband.

Achieving the ultimate goal of sleeping together under the same blanket is a long and arduous journey.

bang bang.

Knock lightly on the door.

Ye Xinglan, who had been looking dejected, instantly regained her composure, got up to open the door, only to find that the door was not closed at all.

"Did you hear anything just now?" Ye Xinglan asked warily, noticing that Nan Liujing had somehow managed to appear alive outside her door.

"Listen to what?" Nan Liujing asked, puzzled.

Ye Xinglan couldn't see anything wrong, so she breathed a sigh of relief, walked out of the bedroom, peeked into the kitchen, and whispered, "My dad didn't actually mince you?"

“My father-in-law is perfectly fine; he would never do such a thing,” Nan Liujing shook his head.

"Father-in-law?" Ye Xinglan's eyes widened, thinking she had misheard.

"Of course. My dad thought I was handsome and dashing, and a very good person. He immediately accepted me as his son-in-law," Nan Liujing joked.

"What do you mean 'our dad'? That's my dad," Ye Xinglan corrected.

"Same as above." Having gained an advantage for a moment, Nan Liujing changed the subject at the opportune moment, "The Spirit Transmission Academy is about to open, do you want to sign up?"

"Gu Yue, Yuan En, and Wu Siduo will also be here?" Ye Xinglan's expression suddenly turned serious.

“I’m not sure if Siduo will come, but Guyue and Yuanen will definitely join,” Nan Liujing said.

Ye Xinglan narrowed her eyes, the swordswoman's eyes regaining their overwhelming sharpness, determined to cut down any invading enemy. "Report, you must register."

I'm their childhood friend, why should they get ahead?

Dare to steal the person I like from me? Try and see if my sword is sharp enough!
Dinner proceeded unusually without any awkwardness.

Ye Changming's cooking skills were as good as ever, and the taste was excellent. Nan Liujing ate three big bowls.

Ye Xinglan, on the other hand, chewed in a rather ladylike manner, taking small bites.

"Do you still remember what the Amorous Douluo promised you?" Ye Changming suddenly transmitted his voice.

Nan Liujing glanced at Ye Xinglan without changing his expression and replied, "I remember."

"The promise takes effect the day you return from training camp," Ye Changming said. "So, Uncle Ye would like to ask you for a favor."

"Please say so," Nan Liujing said, somewhat puzzled.

Ye Changming said, "There is a spiritual herb in this treasure land called Starry Night Firefly Grass. If you have the chance, help me get it, and I will compensate you with something of equal value to this immortal herb."

Nan Liujing reacted quickly.

It seems that time and space originally said that the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye could only be entered once every hundred years, and no more than two medicinal herbs could be obtained.

Although Ye Changming holds a high position in the Tang Clan, he is not even a hall master, so it is estimated that he has little access to that place.

The name "Starry Night Firefly Grass" immediately suggests a connection to the power of stars, but in the original timeline, when Zang Xin took Tang Wulin and the others to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, it seems that this immortal herb was not found.

"It's for Xinglan to eat," Ye Changming added.

“I will put it as my first choice,” Nan Liujing replied immediately.

"Hmm." Ye Changming nodded at his son-in-law with considerable satisfaction.

...

Shrek City.

On the sixty-sixth floor of the Heavenly Spirit Tower, Leng Yaozhu was pulling Cai Yue'er's soul out and merging it with her body.

After completing this step, she said to Yun Ming and Ya Li who had arrived, "She will wake up in a few days at most. Take her away."

Today marks the day Cai Yue'er returns from her studies abroad; the five-year period has come to an end.

Seeing Yun Ming use his soul power to envelop Cai Yue'er, she reminded him, "I'm not satisfied with Cai Yue'er in other ways, but she is indeed loyal to Shrek Academy. After learning about the change of ownership of the outer academy and the cheating incident, she is bound to be stressed. You'd better keep a close eye on her."

"Farewell." Yunming and Yali exchanged a glance, feeling an even heavier burden on their shoulders.

Ugh.

After leaving the Heavenly Spirit Tower, Yun Ming sighed.

"What's wrong, Brother Ming?" Ya Li asked softly.

Yun Ming said helplessly, "If possible, I would like Yue'er to stay in the Heavenly Spirit Tower for a few more years."

Ya Li chuckled, "That won't do. But Leng Yaozhu is right, we need to keep a close eye on Yue'er. How about this, since we've decided to establish an academy branch on the Star Luo Continent, why don't we temporarily send Yue'er there to oversee and conduct research?"

“No.” Yun Ming shook his head. “Once we reach the Star Luo Continent, with her cultivation level, few people will be able to restrain her. I’m worried she’ll cause even more trouble. Let’s wait and see.”

"By the way, Na'er wants to study at the Spirit Transmission Academy as an exchange student. What do you think?" Yali changed the subject.

Yun Ming laughed and said, "Let her be, we're close by anyway."

"it is good."
