Douluo Continent: The Eternal Dawn

Chapter 64 The Extremely Contrasting Tang Princess
Ye Xixuan stood there, staring at Tang Wutong. He was actually a bit taller than Tang Wutong, but he felt an invisible pressure in his heart.

This pressure did not come from Tang Wutong, but from a certain selfless god-king.

Having memories of his past life, he naturally knew that the original storyline had undergone significant changes.

As if struck by a sudden inspiration, Ye Xixuan couldn't help but recall his past experiences.

From his first encounter with Tang Ya, to his later entry into Shrek Academy seeking refuge as instructed by his family elders, and now his meeting with Tang Wutong, everything seemed to connect instantly.

Both the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy have intricate connections with that selfless God King. Adding Tang Wutong to the mix, if one gets too deeply entangled with her, wouldn't one be bound to the Tang family's fate?
He couldn't refuse the first two, since Tang Ya and Elder Mu had indeed been kind to him, and he was willing to repay them. But he had never met Tang Wutong, so there was no question of any favor between them. At least he could choose his relationship with Tang Wutong according to his own will.

Even so, Ye Xixuan's heart was heavy. In this era, he inevitably had to face the pressure from Tang Shenwang.

In Tang Wutong's eyes, Ye Xixuan's performance was exactly what she expected, and the arrogance in her pink-blue eyes became even more pronounced.

She was the daughter of a god-king, blessed by the heavens from birth. If Ye Xixuan hadn't been favored by his father, she wouldn't have considered him as someone on the same level as herself, much less personally descended to the mortal realm to guide him onto the right path.

Ye Xixuan took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. With a gentle smile, he asked Tang Wutong with a slightly puzzled tone.

"do we know each other?"

"You?!" Tang Wutong's expression froze instantly, and her raised chin returned to normal. Although she was born in the God Realm, she had little contact with the outside world since childhood, and her personality was relatively simple.

Moreover, everyone in her family dotes on her and treats her like a little princess. When has she ever been treated like that by anyone else?

Tang Wutong glared at Ye Xixuan through gritted teeth and said, word by word, "So, do you know him now?"

"Oh, so you wanted to get to know me." Ye Xixuan pretended to suddenly realize something and politely extended his right hand to Tang Wutong.

"Hello, my name is Ye Xixuan."

The more flawless Ye Xixuan's performance was, the more frustrated Tang Wutong became. Unexpectedly, she, who usually disregarded everyone else, actually extended her delicate hand and shook hands with Ye Xixuan, still with that same sullen expression.

This is quite a contrast to her previous aloof and cold image.

When Ye Xixuan touched Tang Wutong's soft and smooth right hand, his heart sank to the bottom.

He had only intended to test the waters, but he hadn't expected Tang Wutong to actually respond. Could she really go to such lengths for him?

Tang Wutong didn't feel any aversion to physical contact with Ye Xixuan. She had sensed his pure Light Child physique from the start, a physique that was exceptionally compatible with her martial soul.

If they could cultivate together regularly, her cultivation speed would definitely increase to another level.

Withdrawing her right hand, Tang Wutong regained her previous cold and arrogant demeanor, her gaze seemingly fixed solely on Ye Xixuan.

"You should be able to sense it too, right? We are different from them."

"Is that so?" Ye Xixuan frowned slightly. He could roughly understand what Tang Wutong meant, but he certainly couldn't show it.

Seeing that Ye Xixuan was unmoved by her words, Tang Wutong's expression once again became tense. She snorted coldly, walked past Ye Xixuan, and quickly left the place.

All the freshmen in the cafeteria were stunned. The two were both exceptionally beautiful and had outstanding temperaments. When Ye Xixuan and Tang Wutong stood face to face earlier, they did seem quite well-matched.

Gossip is something everyone is naturally inclined to. After Tang Wutong left, everyone's attention immediately turned to Ye Xixuan, and they talked and discussed among themselves.

In particular, a petite and cute female student followed closely behind Tang Wutong and walked up to Ye Xixuan.

Her appearance wasn't as stunning as Tang Wutong's, but she was still quite pretty and charming. She blushed and greeted Ye Xixuan. Her gaze was somewhat evasive, and her voice was barely audible as she fidgeted with the hem of her clothes.

"Hello, my name is Xiao Xiao." After saying this shyly, she quickly followed Tang Wutong away.

Ye Xixuan smiled and nodded, then ignored everyone's gaze and bought breakfast at the most expensive window in the cafeteria. By the time he found a seat, Huang Chutian had already brought his tray over.

He had barely sat down when he uttered a remark.

"Ye Xixuan, those two girls definitely have feelings for you. Which one are you going to choose?"

"What do you mean, which one to choose?" Ye Xixuan was speechless.

Although Huang Chutian is straightforward, his emotional intelligence is practically nonexistent. He proceeded to criticize Tang Wutong and Xiao Xiao as they left. Judging from his serious demeanor, it wouldn't be accurate to say he had any lewd thoughts; he was simply a typical straight man.

"I feel that Tang Wutong's background is not simple. Didn't you notice that she's arrogant to everyone except you? That already shows her attitude. I've heard from my uncles that conquering a noble lady from such a prominent family is the most rewarding. As for Xiao Xiao, she's too shy, not like someone from a prominent Soul Master family. It should be easier to get along with her. It's a matter of pros and cons."

"Dude, you really got chosen." Ye Xixuan couldn't help but complain. Even if he were really allowed to choose, he wouldn't dare to choose this deadly Tang princess.

"I'm just giving you some advice," Huang Chutian laughed nonchalantly.

“We Soul Masters aren’t like ordinary people, there’s nothing we can’t say. If you ask me, everything else is secondary; only what you attract with your strength is real. If you have feelings for a girl, just be open about it.” As he spoke, he raised his arms, revealing his muscles.

Ye Xixuan's lips twitched, and he stopped responding, lowering his head to silently finish the food on his plate.

It can only be said that Huang Chutian truly deserves to be the owner of the Hercules Ape Martial Soul; he is so straightforward that he is almost single-minded.

However, it is true that a Soul Master's personality is influenced by their Martial Soul.

Like most soul masters with dark attributes, they have rather gloomy personalities.

The reason why Ye Xixuan's personality was not affected by his martial soul was mainly due to his pure Light Child physique. It was also for this reason that Elder Mu trusted him so much.

After breakfast, Ye Xixuan and Huang Chutian returned to their dormitory to begin their cultivation.

Who among the new students who are able to study at Shrek Academy isn't a prodigy from their region, possessing both talent and hard work?

There aren't that many stories of underdogs rising to prominence. If hard work were effective, would there be any point in the existence of geniuses?
Huang Chutian sat cross-legged on his bed, feeling the powerful soul energy circulating within Ye Xixuan's body opposite him. A bead of cold sweat trickled down his forehead. The chilling, deathly atmosphere filled the dormitory, sending a shiver down his spine.

"I must be crazy. I was even thinking of testing him. This aura is at least at the Soul Venerable level, maybe even higher. No wonder Tang Wutong took a liking to him." At this moment, Huang Chutian had only one thought in his mind.

That means they've already begged for forgiveness.
