Douluo Continent: The Eternal Dawn

Chapter 13 The Senior Sister's Immersive Role
Although Tang Ya planned to settle down in Shrek City, considering that it was getting late, she decided to stay at the hotel for the night.

When choosing a hotel, Tang Ya once again demonstrated her bargaining skills. After comparing various options, she checked into a hotel that wasn't luxurious but was very clean and had a private bathroom. The room cost five silver soul coins per night, which was quite affordable in Shrek City where land was incredibly valuable.

The commotion continued until late into the night, and the light outside the window dimmed, no longer as bright as before.

After Tang Ya finished showering, she was still complaining: "The cost of living in Shrek City is just too high. Even hotels in Tiandou City aren't this expensive."

Ye Xixuan sat on the sofa by the window without replying, the muscles at the corners of his mouth slightly stiff.

Based on his habits developed since childhood, he would never haggle over a silver soul coin or two, because in his view it was a complete waste of time.

However, he also understood that everyone's circumstances and upbringing were different, and by following Tang Ya, he had experienced many things he had never experienced before.

Tang Ya's gloom instantly vanished when her gaze fell on Ye Xixuan, who had already finished bathing. She then sat on the edge of the bed, patted him with a smile, and gestured to Ye Xixuan with her eyes.

"Forget it, let's not dwell on it. Xiao Xixuan, come and go to sleep first."

"Sister Xiaoya, I can just sit on the sofa and cultivate tonight," Ye Xixuan said, his expression somewhat unnatural. The memories of his past life that he awakened were mostly fragments of the original plot; his personality was actually based on this life, at most just a bit more mature than his peers.

Ye Xixuan's coy behavior only fueled Tang Ya's desire to ravage him, her eyes practically brimming with suggestive lust.

"Listen to your sister, come here."

"Hmm." In the end, Ye Xixuan still succumbed to Tang Ya's clutches.

Tang Ya chuckled and hugged Ye Xixuan like a koala, closing her eyes contentedly, as if this would make her feel more at ease.

Smelling the faint fragrance emanating from Tang Ya's hair, Ye Xixuan stared wide-eyed at the ceiling. He felt a special closeness to Tang Ya, who had shared his plight and saved him in his time of need.

……

The next morning, Ye Xixuan left the hotel early, preparing to return to Poseidon Island.

Tang Ya said she couldn't waste the rare opportunity to stay in a hotel, but actually she just wanted to sleep in. She also told Ye Xixuan that she would take care of finding a place to settle down in Shrek City herself.

After all, she is indeed more experienced.

The main road leading to the east gate of Shrek Academy is lined with tall trees, a lush green expanse, and the air is exceptionally fresh.

When Ye Xixuan saw the huge arched gate of Shrek Academy from afar, he spotted Bei Bei, who was already waiting there.

Beibei anxiously grabbed Ye Xixuan's hand and started to walk into the academy.

“Xi Xuan, you need to come back to Seagod Island with me right now to see Senior Sister. Last night, Senior Sister kept asking me about your whereabouts. If I hadn’t kept my mouth shut, I almost wouldn’t have been able to keep it a secret. Even so, Senior Sister has mentioned several times that she wants to personally bring you back to Seagod Island. It took me a lot of effort to persuade her to stop. I’m really exhausted.”

"Huh?" Ye Xixuan blinked in surprise.

"Didn't Elder Mu say that I would only start cultivating with Senior Sister today? Why the rush?"

"How should I know?!" Bei Bei cried, his face contorted with despair. His senior sister's controlling behavior last night reminded him of a childhood trauma he didn't want to recall. Although his senior sister had always indulged him when they were young, she still interfered in everything he did, and things had only gotten a little better now. "Alright, enough nonsense. Come with me now."

Beibei hurriedly led Ye Xixuan through the outer courtyard of Shrek Academy, heading straight for Seagod Island.

What he didn't tell Ye Xixuan was that he had some selfish motives for doing this. Now that Ye Xixuan was in front of him, his senior sister naturally wouldn't have as much energy to manage him, so he was free!
Thinking of this, Beibei couldn't help but let out a soft, comfortable hum.

"For my sake, Xi Xuan, I'll have to make things difficult for you."

Ye Xixuan glanced at Bei Bei's tense expression and suddenly asked subconsciously, "Senior Brother Bei, is there something you're hiding from me?"

"What could I possibly be hiding from you? Do you know how much pressure I've been under from Senior Sister because of you?!" Bei Bei almost couldn't hold back her laughter, but she deliberately kept a straight face as she responded.

Neither Ye Xixuan nor Bei Bei knew anything about the conversation between Elder Mu and Zhang Lexuan yesterday, and had no idea why.

During the rest of the journey, the two did not exchange any further words.

Beibei was thinking of quickly using Ye Xixuan to divert the senior sister's attention, while Ye Xixuan was wondering if the senior sister really had something important to tell him.

About half an hour later, Ye Xixuan and Bei Bei arrived at the open space in front of the Sea God Pavilion.

Neither Elder Mu nor Elder Xuan were present; only Zhang Lexuan, dressed in a white dress, stood quietly. Her long black hair cascaded down her back, her demeanor gentle and refined, her delicate face expressionless. Against the backdrop of the surrounding mist and sea of ​​clouds, she resembled a celestial goddess, detached from the world.

Only when she saw Ye Xixuan did a faint smile appear in her eyes.

"Um, Senior Sister, I've brought Xi Xuan over for you. I'm leaving now." After saying goodbye to Zhang Lexuan, Bei Bei hurriedly ran away.

When Ye Xixuan and Zhang Lexuan met eyes, they keenly noticed a significant change in the way their senior sister looked at them, a change that seemed different from her usual controlling and possessive gaze.

"Sister."

"Mmm." Zhang Lexuan responded with a smile, then walked up to Ye Xixuan, bent down to examine him, and outlined the full curves of her chest.

“I heard from Beibei that you want to learn about soul tools? But I think that for you at this stage, laying a solid foundation for your martial soul cultivation is the most important thing. I’ve already made arrangements with the soul tool department for you. You can go and learn more about it when you have some free time.”

"Yes, Senior Sister." Ye Xixuan nodded.

Zhang Lexuan pursed her red lips and reached out to touch Ye Xixuan's fair cheek.

"Just call me Sister Lexuan in private."

"Sister Lexuan?" Ye Xixuan's eyes widened as he increasingly sensed that something was wrong with Zhang Lexuan, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Zhang Lexuan, however, completely immersed herself in her role, determined to stay by Ye Xixuan's side and become his childhood sweetheart.
