Douluo: Dragon King's Divine Elegy

Chapter 136 Wu Siduo: What a huge loss! You weren't my first kiss!
After the assessment, all the examinees were taken back to the hall for registration.

Young people from the same region who knew each other formed their own small groups.

The trainees who were forcibly kicked out of the mimicry chambers were still chatting about the Dark Abyss with some resentment. The trainees who were eliminated early were half calmer. Although the Dark Abyss was scary, they thought it was just a fake. What really worried them was that if they failed the current assessment, they would most likely have to go back to where they came from, which was really embarrassing.

Wu Siduo was perhaps the loneliest person among this group.

She crossed her arms over her chest, leaned against the wall, and her gaze was like a still pool, detached from everyone else.

There are quite a few geniuses from Xingluo City, but they are not familiar with her and would not shamelessly try to curry favor with her.

However, young people from other cities who were unfamiliar with her, especially the boys, kept glancing at her with restless eyes.

Two years have passed since the Federation Grand Competition, and Wu Siduo has grown even more beautiful. Her long, fiery reddish-brown hair, as vibrant as burning maple leaves, flows naturally, and her heterochromatic eyes gleam with a magnificent light. The corners of her eyes are slightly upturned, revealing a cold and aloof demeanor. Her beautiful face is as stunningly beautiful as ever, and her figure is incredibly alluring under her tight-fitting clothes. Her slender waist outlines her rounded hips, and her legs are long and toned, leaving no doubt that she can unleash astonishing explosive power at any moment.

Compared to her ancestors, she is probably even worse.

“I sent you a message before but you didn’t reply. I thought you were planning to go to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy as Uncle Wu arranged.”

A calm laugh rang out.

A ripple appeared in Wu Siduo's eyes. She turned her head and smiled, her rose-colored lips curving into a smile: "Wherever you are, that's where I'll go."

Nan Liujing smiled knowingly: "The assessment is still a while away, how about we go for a walk outside together?"

“Okay,” Wu Siduo said with a smile.

The two chatted happily and left together, immediately attracting the attention of many people.

Seeing this, the male students from other cities couldn't help but ask the people from Xingluo City, "Hey guys, what's going on?"

The boys all shook their heads. Apart from her renowned reputation in Xingluo City, Wu Siduo rarely interacted with her peers.

One of the girls glanced at them and said, "Didn't you hear Nan Shen mention 'Uncle Wu'? They must be old acquaintances."

Nan Shen is the code name given to Nan Liujing by the younger generation.

It's mainly because girls like this nickname.

Nan Shen and male god.

"I envy Nan Shen's first day!" the boys exclaimed, expressing their envy.

Early romantic relationships are perfectly normal for Soul Masters, since their development is much faster than that of ordinary people.

"Cut~~"

The girl who harbored special feelings for Nan Liujing couldn't help but snort inwardly.

Just as the director who filmed the commercial said, it was bound to become a huge hit. Sure enough, it became incredibly popular, dominating the entertainment charts to this day.

With his astonishing performance in the Federation Grand Competition, as well as his handsome and dashing demeanor and top-tier status in the advertisements, Nan Liujing has captured the hearts of countless young female Soul Masters.

As for Gu Yue, she became the goddess that many male Soul Masters dreamed of.

For Soul Masters, appearance is not the most important thing; strength is.

Gu Yue did not participate in the Federation Grand Competition, and her strength is unknown, but she has two titles: a core disciple of the Spirit Transmission Tower and a personal disciple of the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo. Anyone with a brain knows that her strength is definitely not bad.

The scorching sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting beams of light through the gaps. In the distance, the sound of a fountain could be heard. The core magic array remained operational, with water elements gently rippling, dispelling the high temperature and keeping parts of the campus consistently warm or even cool.

The two walked side by side, with Nan Liujing appearing much more composed. Sunlight occasionally touched his cheeks, as if his profile was coated with a soft glow.

Wu Siduo has a lot of small gestures, such as occasionally smoothing her hair behind her ear, or peeking at the person next to her like a kitten. When the other person turns to look at her, she naturally looks away, completely lacking that cold and aloof temperament.

Nan Liujing quite liked this contrast. With a light wave of his left hand, a golden dragon candy materialized. "Here you go."

Wu Siduo naturally took it and chuckled, "You still treat me like a child?"

“No, you should be a big kid.” Nan Liujing said with a hidden meaning.

Wu Siduo seemed somewhat puzzled.

Nan Liujing changed the subject, asking, "What level are you?"

Wu Siduo proudly declared, "Level 43."

"Sure," Nan Liujing said approvingly. "The academy is going to divide students into classes and hold a class competition. Are you confident you can win?"

Wu Siduo said seriously, "That depends on the team composition."

As she was speaking, she changed the subject and joked, "Since it's a competition, there must be rewards, right?"

“Of course.” Nanliu Scenic Spot nodded.

Wu Siduo said playfully, "Since you told me about the class competition in advance, it means it's very important. How about we make an agreement beforehand?"

"What agreement?" Nan Liujing became interested.

"When will the competition begin?" Wu Siduo asked.

Nan Liujing said, "One month later."

"That's perfect."

Wu Siduo smiled and said, "The agreement is simple. The governor of Shrek City is preparing to cooperate with several top forces to hold a banquet and auction that is not open to the public. Although our Wu family is not considered top in the entire continent, we are still one of the top families in Star Luo City and have received an invitation. If I can win first place in the competition, I hope you can accompany me as my male companion."

"What a pity." Nan Liujing suddenly sighed.

"What's a pity?" Wu Siduo was taken aback.

Nan Liujing glanced at her: "I thought you were accompanying me as my boyfriend, but it turns out you're just a male companion. How boring."

Wu Siduo was stunned, but reacted quickly and tentatively said, "If you don't like being a male companion, you can attend as my boyfriend. I don't mind."

"No." Nan Liujing shook his head.

Wu Siduo was truly stunned. She subconsciously asked, "Why not?" She had already figured it out: when it comes to someone she liked, she had to be aggressive and defensive.

That way, you can give it away for free faster.

Being too reserved will only delay your pursuit of the person you like.

Anyway, that's how Mom won Dad over.

Nan Liujing pinched his chin: "I'm asking you, is it allowed for a guy to kiss a girl in a relationship?"

"Yes." Wu Siduo didn't react.

“That’s the key point,” Nan Liujing pointed out. “Think about it, I’m just a fake boyfriend, not a real one. If I kiss you, that would be a mistake, but I’m someone who’s prone to making mistakes, so there’s a conflict.”

Wu Siduo said blankly, "Wouldn't it be better if I just got a permanent position? Then you can kiss me however you want."

As soon as she finished speaking, the timid girl suddenly realized what she meant, and a look of embarrassment and annoyance appeared on her pretty face: "No, what I meant was... it was..." She didn't know what to say, and her head was about to explode.

Seeing that he had teased her enough, Nan Liujing smiled and said, "Alright, I was just kidding. We don't need the results of the competition. If you need a male companion, I'll accompany you. Uncle Wu sent me a message asking me to take good care of you. If I don't, not only will I have trouble explaining to Uncle Wu, but my uncle will also have to come all the way from Mingdu to beat me up."

"Come on, let me show you around some more."

"Wait a moment!"

Nan Liujing hadn't taken more than a few steps when Wu Siduo suddenly called out to him.

"What's wrong?" Nan Liujing asked, puzzled.

Wu Siduo pursed her red lips, a hint of struggle flashing across her face, before finally saying resolutely, "I came to the Spirit Transmission Academy for you, Liu Jing. I don't want to play games or compete with Xinglan and Yuanen. I don't want to feel jealous or envious when you interact with them. I just want to ask, if possible, could you become my boyfriend instead of my male friend?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she clenched her fists, as if making a great effort, and said, "I know you can't have only one woman in the future, so I don't mind being one of them. I'm also willing to keep this secret until you decide not to make it public." After saying that, Wu Siduo lowered her head, her beautiful heterochromatic eyes rippled with tension and embarrassment.

At first, she didn't like Nan Liujing; she simply considered him her best friend, even though she didn't have many friends. She truly fell in love during the Federation Grand Tournament, much like many other young female Soul Masters in the Douluo Continent.

But unlike others, Wu Siduo knew exactly where her strengths lay.

The elders of both sides are as close as brothers, and can be said to know each other inside and out.

In terms of cultivation, I will not hold the other party back in the future.

In fact, Wu Siduo herself knew that over the years, she and Nan Liujing had actually spent very little time together, and she did not believe that Nan Liujing liked her just because she was very beautiful.

Gu Yue, Yuan En Ye Hui, and Ye Xing Lan—aren't they all stunningly beautiful?

So her dilemma is that she knows that it's not mainstream for several women to share one man in today's world, but she just doesn't care and goes all in.

After a moment of silence without hearing her nervous yet expectant reply, Wu Siduo pursed her lips, a hint of embarrassment and self-deprecation on her face, and decided to change the subject and slip away.

My mom lied to me; giving it away for free would only make me lose face!
suddenly.

With my gaze lowered, a pair of sneakers came into view.

"Lift your head up," came a gentle voice.

Wu Siduo's long eyelashes trembled slightly as she slowly raised her snow-white chin.

Nan Liujing looked down at her, a faint smile playing on his lips. "Do me a favor and eat the candy."

Wu Siduo was a little confused and, at a loss, put the golden dragon candy she was holding into her mouth.

The sweet orange aroma bursts in your mouth, and the cool sensation quickly dispels the heat, as if you've taken a sip of chilled juice.

"Take it out," Nan Liujing said again.

Wu Siduo, out of curiosity, did as she was told.

The next second, her pupils suddenly contracted.

A gentle breeze blew, rustling the leaves and casting a golden glow on the two figures. The clean, tidy ground reflected their close shadows.

For a long time, the lips are divided.

After eating the candy, the sweet taste is even more intense.

...

Willows sway beside the artificial lake.

On public seating.

The girl said with a resentful look, "Why did you suddenly kiss me?"

Looking at the shimmering lake, Nan Liujing smiled faintly and said, "Since you've been so bold in expressing yourself, how can I pretend? I can't possibly feign modesty and say something as foolish as 'it's too early' to deceive you, can I?"

Wu Siduo rubbed her smooth cheeks with her hands: "It feels weird. I opened my heart out for no reason, and then you kissed me out of nowhere. Oh, and you even reached out your hand..."

"Cough cough."

Nan Liujing coughed a few times, "That's because the underlying genetic code moved on its own, and besides, you were quite cooperative."

"No, I didn't," Wu Siduo said coquettishly.

Nan Liujing glanced at the blush that hadn't faded from her face and said seriously, "To be honest, I took your first kiss without really knowing what was going on, and the worst part is I didn't even confess to you. You're really at a disadvantage."

Wu Siduo agreed, "It's quite a loss. By the way, you lost your first kiss a long time ago, right?"

"Yes." Nan Liujing was quite honest. "I gave it to Xinglan."

Wu Siduo gritted her teeth: "I was too late, and now I'm even worse off."

After he finished speaking, the room suddenly fell silent. The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

Just like two silly fools.

“When the time is right, I will formally ask you.” Nan Liujing reached out and brushed a strand of soft hair behind the girl’s ear. “At that time, I will prove that your choice was not wrong.”

"I'll wait." Wu Siduo leaned her head on Nan Liujing's shoulder, enjoying the lazy breeze. A relaxed smile unconsciously spread across her lips.

"Are you there?"

Suddenly, a voice rang out in the sea of ​​consciousness.

"Old Jin."

Nan Liujing's expression changed slightly, surprised that it had come to him before he had even taken the initiative to contact it.

Jin Laodao said, "I only dared to contact you while the Blue Silver Emperor was asleep again."

"What happened?" Upon hearing that the Blue Silver Emperor had fallen asleep again, Nan Liujing became uneasy, fearing that there might be a problem with the contract.

Jin Lao said in a deep voice, "Tang San's spirit came once before and temporarily handed over the existence of the so-called Golden Dragon King bloodline to the Blue Silver Emperor for safekeeping. I sensed an aura similar to that Golden Dragon King bloodline on you back then, so I wanted to tell you in secret. Who knew that the Blue Silver Emperor would stay awake for almost two years after that?"

Did Tang San's spirit come here?

Nan Liujing immediately recalled the time when Tang Wulin was unconscious. Could it be that time?
Suddenly, he realized.

No wonder Tang Wulin had no problems after falling into a coma, but just couldn't wake up. It turns out it was Tang San who did it, just to come to Shrek Academy and then transfer the Golden Dragon King bloodline.

This is his advance preparation in case I take away the Golden Dragon King's bloodline again.

Wait.

Nan Liujing suddenly realized what was happening.

Was the Golden Dragon King's bloodline transferred to Ah Yin?

In other words… Nan Liujing’s eyes suddenly brightened: “Let’s leave Blue Silver Emperor aside for now. You’ve come to me, and I happen to have something I want to tell you as well.”

"Please speak," Old Jin said, his tone softening.

Nan Liujing said, "Not long ago, I was fortunate enough to kill one of the emperors of the Abyss Plane and seize the primordial energy of its level. I am currently unable to digest it all, so I plan to make a deal with you."

"You've obtained the primordial energy of the Abyss Plane?" Old Jin immediately asked excitedly. "Tell me, how do you want to trade?"

For the life core of Douluo Star, there is no other plane's source energy that is more nourishing. For Douluo Star now, any external source energy is like sending charcoal in snowy weather.

Nan Liujing said in a deep voice, "I plan to condense my soul core later. You will help me complete the condensation of my life soul core. At the same time, I also need you to give me the inheritance of the Child of Nature."

“Okay,” Mr. Jin immediately agreed.

Nan Liujing was taken aback: "You agreed so readily?"

Jin Lao laughed and said, "I possess the Seed of Life of Douluo Star, and before I perish, the Child of Nature will only have a basic function. Giving it to you is of course no problem."

Nan Liujing frowned and asked, "If I want to upgrade the Thunderous Hell Vine to the 100,000-year level, is it feasible with the Child of Nature?"

Jin Lao said, "That's possible. Not only that, but any element within Douluo Star will have an affinity with you, which is quite beneficial."

“Then let’s switch,” Nan Liujing said immediately, “but the time is tentative.”

"Sure," Elder Jin chuckled. "When you acquire new Abyss Origin Energy in the future, you can exchange it with me. Trust me, the rewards you'll receive in the end will be substantial!"

"A word is settled!"
