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

Chapter 65 Xue Qinghe Asks Li Zhexian for a Favor, Their Exchange Before the Soul Master Competition (Bonus Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets)
The curtain of the noodle stall was lifted, and seven people entered one after another.

The leader was a tall young man. Although his appearance was not stunning, he had a commanding presence and an imposing aura.

The girl at the very back was particularly eye-catching, with long, dark red wavy hair that cascaded down to her waist, highlighting her delicate features and snow-white skin.

She wore a gold and red short skirt, revealing a section of her long, slender legs. One of her legs was adorned with a red leg ring, giving her a fiery and sexy aura.

The remaining five were all young men, dressed in matching gold and red outfits.

The seven people had just stepped into the noodle stall.

A scorching heat immediately hit me.

It was as if even the fire-elemental energy floating in the air was being stirred up.

Li Zhexian glanced over and understood.

Just before the start of the Soul Master Competition, several major academies gathered in Tiandou City to exchange and hone their skills.

At this time, and with such distinctive attire, it could only be the Blazing Fire Academy, one of the five elemental academies.

"It has nothing to do with me."

Li Zhexian ate his noodles without a care in the world, while his ears perked up, listening to the storytelling at the wine stall across the street.

The seven students from Blazing Fire Academy ordered noodles and then began chatting as if no one else was around.

"Vice Captain, didn't you go to the Soul Arena?"

One of the team members asked:
"Didn't you encounter any formidable opponents?"

The girl with the big, wavy hair was none other than the vice-captain, Huo Wu.

She pursed her lips, her gaze casually sweeping over the simple noodle stall.

"No, I'm tired of the Soul Arena in Blazing Fire City."

"I thought Heaven Dou City would be interesting, but it turned out to be just so-so."

The tall young man at the head of the group is Captain Huo Wushuang.

He picked up the teacup, and the cool tea in his hand suddenly began to steam again.

"I've heard there's a swordsman here with extraordinary skill."

The words "Sword Wine" were uttered.

The diners, who had been deliberately keeping their voices down to avoid these "uninvited guests," suddenly perked up.

Speaking of sword wine, they're wide awake!

Sensing the subtle change in the atmosphere inside the noodle stall, Huo Wu's lips curled into a playful smile.

"I've also heard a little about the sword wine that the captain mentioned."

"It seems that this person has quite a reputation in Tiandou City."

Just at this time.

The storytelling from the wine stalls across the street rose in pitch again.

It was telling the story of "Sword and Wine Slaying the Evil Phoenix with One Sword".

The members of the Blazing Fire Team raised their eyebrows slightly, their faces showing great interest.

"Just from what the storyteller said, this sword wine... is indeed very strong."

Huo Wushuang took a sip of hot tea and said slowly:

"It is said that Yu Tianheng, the captain of the Royal Fighting Team, could not withstand a single move from him."

Huo Wu nodded.

"Storytellers often exaggerate their words."

"But there's no smoke without fire; this person must have some extraordinary abilities."

Just then, the steaming hot noodles were served.

Fire Dance looked around.

They noticed that other diners quietly moved away after they entered.

Only the young man in white at the next table sat still, making the distance between them seem closer.

She picked up the chili oil jar, smiled, and leaned forward to ask:

"Little brother, do we still need these chili peppers?"

Li Zhexian glanced at her, scooped a large spoonful of chili oil into his own bowl, and casually pushed the jar over to her.

"Okay, here you go."

It's unclear whether Li Zhexian remained calm and composed in the face of them, or whether he was particularly engrossed in listening to the storyteller's tale of swordsmanship and wine.

As Huo Wu took the jar, she casually tasted the noodles and then asked with great interest:

"Little brother, you also love listening to stories about swords and wine?"

Li Zhexian nodded.

"Yes, I like listening to it."

"Have you seen him fight? Is he really as powerful as the storyteller described?"

Li Zhexian smacked his lips.

Let him praise himself?
This is really... a bit embarrassing.

"sharp."

His tone was determined.

"It's even more amazing than what a storyteller tells."

"Oh?"

Fire Dance raised an eyebrow.

The young man in white before me had a handsome face and a dignified demeanor, unlike someone who would speak carelessly.

This sword-infused wine must be truly extraordinary.

A fiery glint flashed in Captain Blazing Fire's eyes.

"I hope this trip will give me the opportunity to see it for myself."

Another day passed.

Xue Qinghe personally visited, carrying a food box. The enticing aroma wafting from the box was none other than Li Zhexian's favorite Three Immortals Chicken.

When Li Zhexian opened the door and saw her, surprise first appeared on his face.

He immediately took the food box very naturally, turned around and led her into the hospital.

"You're such a busy person, how come you have time to come here?"

Xue Qinghe's gaze swept across the small courtyard.

Finally, it landed on the sandalwood armchair under the plum tree.

The sandalwood armchair had a glossy sheen, clearly indicating that it had been used frequently.

She nodded with satisfaction.

"Stealing a moment of leisure from a busy schedule."

"By the way... I'll bring you some food."

Li Zhexian placed the food box on the stone table in the courtyard.

Xue Qinghe went into the house with practiced ease and took out two sets of bowls and chopsticks.

The two of them then enjoyed the fragrant Three Immortals Chicken under the sparse, slanting shadows of the plum trees, accompanied by the gentle breeze and the fragrance of plum blossoms.

At last.

The two started arguing over a shiny chicken wing.

"call……"

Xue Qinghe finally snatched his "spoils of war," chewing on the chicken wing with satisfaction and letting out a long sigh of relief.

She gazed at Li Zhexian across from her.

The weariness that had accumulated between my brows over the past few days had unknowingly dissipated by more than half.

Weird.

This guy clearly makes me furious all the time.

Yet, as if she were addicted, she always wanted to be with him.

It's as if being by his side makes even the deepest weariness disappear.

"Go ahead."

Li Zhexian took a sip of wine, put down his cup, and looked at her face.

"What do you want from me today?"

Xue Qinghe raised a slender eyebrow.

"So obvious?"

Li Zhexian curled his lip.

"if not?"

"If it weren't for the fact that you seemed so preoccupied."

"You think I would deliberately let you have that chicken wing?"

"You rarely come to me with anything, so just say it."

Xue Qinghe looked hesitant.

Li Zhexian leaned lazily against the back of the chair and added a sentence.

"I owe you so much money."

"Between you and me, is there any need for beating around the bush?"

Xue Qinghe blinked.

He stared at Li Zhexian for a long time.

Suddenly, the corners of his lips curved into a genuine smile.

in fact……

She always resisted seeking help from Li Zhexian.

She was always afraid that the rare connection would be tainted with utilitarianism, which she disliked very much.

But Li Zhexian's playful remark about "owing money" and his phrase "between you and me" were like a gentle breeze, dispelling all her worries.

Xue Qinghe sorted out his thoughts and said:

"Your Majesty is unwell."

"The task of arranging exchanges between academies before this Soul Master Competition fell to me."

She paused and continued:

"The academy teams that have come this time are not to be underestimated."

"The Royal Fighting Team represents the face of the royal family, so naturally they cannot afford to lose in Heaven Fighting City."

“Although Yu Tianheng and his group are strong, they may not necessarily lose, but I think it would be better to add another layer of insurance.”

Hear this.

Li Bai already understood.

"did you mean……"

"If the Royal Fighting Team loses, I'll take their place?"

Xue Qinghe smiled gently.

He poured a full wine cup for Li Zhexian.

"Those who truly understand me are the banished immortals."

Li Zhexian picked up his wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.

Suddenly, the Blazing Fire team I had met yesterday came to mind.

Under Xue Qinghe's gentle, smiling gaze.

He nodded and said:

"Then I'll go join the fun?"
