Douluo Continent: A Fallen Immortal Descends to Earth, Slaying Gods with a Drunken Sword

Chapter 491 Huo Yuhao, Zhang Lexuan, and Ma Xiaotao: I Want to Wear White for You Once (Extra Chapter)

at this time.

Shrek Academy.

With the Sea God's Fate approaching, the most bustling time of the year is about to begin.

Don't assume that geniuses are oblivious to romance.

It was precisely because of the arduous training and the loneliness of the years that the young man's heart burned even brighter in this place where geniuses gathered.

The young soul masters, who usually bury themselves in cultivation and have no time for anything else, have placed their deepest expectations on this grand event that belongs exclusively to the academy.

Which young girl hasn't dreamt of romance and beauty?
Which young man hasn't experienced the longing of unrequited love?
As the time for the Sea God's Fate draws closer, the air in the academy seems to be warmed up.

Like a flock of fledglings that have been hibernating for too long, they finally await a spring breeze and can't wait to spread their wings and fly into someone's heart.

And such noise.

The rumors spread and fueled the fire even more.

—There is photographic evidence that Ma Xiaotao and Huo Yuhao were in the same room at a hotel outside the city!

As the strongest graduate of the previous year and the leader of the previous generation of Shrek Seven Devils, Ma Xiaotao's reputation within the academy is second only to that of Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan.

Since defeating Jing Hongchen, Huo Yuhao has been vaguely referred to as the "Number One Prodigy on the Continent".

These two are involved...

Do not!
We also need to add Zhang Lexuan!
Even before this rumor, there were many whispers in the academy that the senior sister and Huo Yuhao had a close relationship.

Many students saw the two walking side by side by the Sea God Lake, and Zhang Lexuan's attitude towards Huo Yuhao was more gentle than ever before.

The story spread from one person to ten, from ten to a hundred, and eventually, many versions of the story emerged.

—The previous Seven Devils captain and the senior sister of the inner court compete for the title of the number one genius on the continent!

Huo Yuhao is caught in a love triangle between Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao, and his emotional debts are hard to repay!
—Is a relationship between three people too crowded?

These days.

The hottest topic of conversation in the college.

The entanglement between these three people is always unavoidable.

The students had mixed reactions and opinions on the matter.

"Isn't having Senior Sister enough for Huo Yuhao? I want to duel him!"

"Go ahead! Who's stopping you? Just wait and see what happens after Huo Yuhao lands his punch, then I'll offer you some incense next year!"

"So, both Senior Sister Ma Xiaotao and Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan will be participating in this year's Sea God's Fate event?"

"I hope those two don't start fighting! Hehe, I love watching girls fight!"

The students at Shrek Academy have indeed been cooped up for far too long.

This event, combined with the nearby Sea God's Fate Festival, directly gave rise to a student organization called the "Marriage Society" within the academy.

It's like a "confession wall" in a college.

Every day, teenagers anonymously submit letters, publishing their youthful and sincere thoughts.

then.

These days.

Students would often hold newly published magazines, their expressions shifting between joy and worry, secretly pondering:
Did he (or she) write this?

Does he/she like me too?
of course.

The newspapers published by Huo Yuhao, Zhang Lexuan, and Ma Xiaotao have the most subscriptions.

Lake Poseidon.

The six of them, including Bei Bei, sat casually around each other, while Tang Ya leaned on Bei Bei's shoulder.

under the tree.

Xiao Xiao held the freshly printed matchmaking magazine in her hand and read it aloud in a clear and loud voice:

"The three most anticipated contestants of this year's Sea God's Fate Tournament—Huo Yuhao, Zhang Lexuan, and Ma Xiaotao—have reportedly not made any public appearances at the academy recently… This has inevitably led to speculation among students that they may have fallen out… There may be more surprises at the Sea God's Fate Tournament…"

"Hehe, there are three people, who will Yuhao hold hands with?"

Jiang Nannan and Xiao Xiao huddled together.

The two of them, after saying something, suddenly burst into laughter, their eyes crinkling with joy.

Xu Sanshi pushed himself up with both hands, lay back on the grass, and let out a long sigh.

"Senior Sister and Senior Sister Ma Xiaotao are the two most dazzling flowers in our college. Yuhao... it's really enviable."

Jiang Nannan glanced at him.

"If you have Yuhao's skills, you can do it too."

Xu Sanshi gave an awkward smile.

"I...I was just saying."

"Besides, I already have someone in my heart."

When saying this.

He stared straight at Jiang Nannan.

Jiang Nannan turned her face away and ignored him.

Xu Sanshi stretched out his arm and put his arm around He Caitou's shoulder. He saw that He Caitou was staring at the "Wall of Heartfelt Words" in a daze, and he couldn't help but laugh.

"What, you want to confess your feelings too?"

He Caitou became anxious upon hearing this, his dark face turning a deep red.

"I...I didn't!"

Wang Dong remained silent, her slender hands clenched tightly in her sleeves, her nails digging deep into her flesh, causing waves of pain.

Beibei watched his playful companions, a gentle smile appearing on his face. He turned his head to look at Tang Ya beside him, his smile fading slightly.

“Someone sent me a message telling me to stop you from leaving Shrek.”

Tang Ya lowered her head and spoke softly.

“Beibei, the talent gap between me and you is too big. I can’t get into the inner academy.”

Beibei took her hand.

"Let's figure something out together."

The inner court.

In a courtyard.

Ma Xiaotao's spear danced like a dragon, sparks flying wherever the spear tip grazed.

This forced Ling Luochen and Xixi, who had joined forces, to retreat step by step.

Bang!
A burst of crimson flame suddenly exploded.

Several strands of Xixi's brown hair were immediately singed into curls.

"No fighting! No fighting!"

She angrily dispersed her soul power.

Ma Xiaotao let out a long sigh, beads of sweat appearing on her smooth forehead.

She smiled, her eyes brimming with joy.

"It feels so good to be free from this evil fire. I haven't felt this good in a long time."

Ling Luochen looked at her thoughtfully.

"Only the ultimate ice can suppress evil fire so thoroughly. You... have you consulted Junior Brother Yuhao?"

Ma Xiaotao tilted her head back and took a sip of water, the droplets sliding down her fair neck.

"I did ask Junior Brother Yuhao for help a few days ago; his Extreme Ice is stronger than before."

Xixi leaned closer, a mischievous glint in her eyes.

"So, what's all the talk in the academy about... that thing between you and Junior Brother Yuhao at the hostel..."

"Fake!"

Ma Xiaotao's bright cheeks suddenly flushed pink.

"I just wanted Junior Brother Yuhao to suppress the evil fire! You two are overthinking things. If you won't stay with me to cultivate, I'm going back."

Say it.

She turned and left.

Ling Luochen suddenly spoke.

"Xiao Tao, will you participate in the Sea God's Fate event?"

Ma Xiaotao paused slightly.

"……join."

Wait until she's gone.

Ling Luochen and Xixi exchanged a smile.

They had known Ma Xiaotao for many years and understood her personality very well.

If he truly has no feelings for Huo Yuhao.

Based on the rumors circulating in the academy these days, the matchmaking society has probably been shut down long ago.

"but……"

Ling Luochen sighed:

"Junior Yuhao is truly outstanding. Xiaotao's opponent this time is Senior Sister."

The two of them also remembered.

Despite the recent flurry of rumors circulating in the academy, the usually aloof and composed senior sister Zhang Lexuan has never offered a single word of clarification.

Both are located in the inner courtyard.

In a quiet little courtyard.

Zhang Lexuan stood quietly by the window, gazing at the lush flowers and trees in the yard, lost in thought.

The teacher's words and the tall, upright boy kept replaying in her mind.

She let out a soft breath, turned away from the window, and slowly walked towards the wardrobe inside the room.

Almost all the items hanging in the closet were simple, identical black robes.

these years……

She was single-minded, not wanting to dress up for anyone, nor feeling the need to change her color.

Zhang Lexuan stood quietly in front of the cabinet for a moment, and finally took out a wooden box from the depths.

The box lid was opened.

A soft, moon-like white light came into view.

It was a long dress, with a delicate color and a soft, light texture, as if woven from moonlight.

Which girl doesn't love beautiful clothes?
She just used to think it wasn't necessary.

But this time, the Sea God's Fate...

She wanted to dress herself up, to wear white at least once.

"It should look great."
