Douluo Continent: The Ruler of Time, Reigning Supreme

Chapter 200 Girlfriend

A month-long holiday, like a brief ray of warm sunshine in the winter of Xingluo City, vanishes in the blink of an eye.

For Yin Chen, this period of time was a rare moment of comfort and relaxation.

He reunited with his former friends, and despite Xu Yun's strong protests, he spent the whole day having fun in the city with her, Dai Luoli, and the Lan Susu sisters.

However, he spent most of his time with Xu Jiujiu.

Together they would peruse ancient texts in the royal library, where she would explain the little-known secrets of the Star Luo Empire to him, and he would share with her the imaginative theories and experiences of Shrek Academy.

They would also walk side by side in the courtyard of Tingxuexuan at dusk, watching the afterglow of the setting sun cast long, slanted shadows on the old plum tree.

Sometimes, they don't say anything, they just stay together quietly, and they feel that life is peaceful and serene.

This month is enough time for many things to settle down.

That ambiguous feeling, which had long transcended friendship, quietly fermented and intensified in the daily interactions, and finally became clear on a snowy night with a kiss on the lips, carrying the coolness of snowflakes.

After a long time, she officially became Yin Chen's girlfriend.

When Xu Yun learned of this news, his expression was priceless.

She first gave a knowing look, as if she had known this would happen, then her face fell, and with a hint of frustration, she punched Yin Chen hard.
"You, Yin Chen, I treated you as a friend, but you want to be my uncle?"

She counted on her fingers, her face filled with grief and indignation, calculating their generational ranks:

“You’ve become my aunt’s boyfriend… Does that mean I’ll really be a generation younger than you? No way, I can’t bring myself to call you ‘uncle’.”

Seeing her frantic and helpless expression, Yin Chen and Xu Jiujiu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The day of parting finally arrived.

With the start of the new school year at Shrek Academy fast approaching, Yin Chen had to embark on his journey home.

At dawn, outside Tingxuexuan, the chill had not yet dissipated, and the breaths of passersby turned into a cloud of white mist.

Xu Jiujiu and Uncle Hui came to see him off.

Uncle Grey stood not far away, a genuine smile of satisfaction on his face. He looked at his young master and the princess standing together and felt that they were a perfect match.

While waiting for the Lan sisters, Yin Chen turned to look at Xu Jiujiu beside him.

Today she wore a light purple long dress with a thick white fox fur cloak over it, which further accentuated her stunning beauty and elegant demeanor.

"Sister Jiu Jiu".

A familiar, slightly sly smile appeared on Yin Chen's lips.

He blinked, his voice low but full of implications.

"I'm leaving soon, aren't you going to say goodbye?"

After saying that, he even stretched out his finger and gently touched his lips.

Upon hearing this, Xu Jiujiu's cheeks flushed slightly, and she gave him a reproachful glare.

Over the past month, she had grown accustomed to his direct yet slightly mischievous teasing.

That glance, far from being powerful, seemed more like a coy, alluring gesture.

She didn't say much, but stepped forward and took the initiative to stretch out her arms and wrap them around Yin Chen's neck.

Although Yin Chen is still young, he has grown taller rapidly in the past year, surpassing Xu Jiujiu.

This intimate gesture forced her to slightly tiptoe and completely entrust her weight to him.

Seeing this, Uncle Grey immediately flashed a kind smile that I hadn't seen at all, and very tactfully turned away to admire the ancient brickwork patterns on the distant city wall. Soft lips pressed against mine, carrying the coolness of the morning and her unique, delicate fragrance.

It started as a gentle touch, but soon, with Yin Chen's proactive response, the kiss deepened rapidly.

The surrounding noise and cold seemed to fade away at this moment, and the world became quiet and warm, leaving only the intermingling of breaths and the increasingly rapid heartbeat.

A full minute later, Yin Chen reluctantly released Xu Jiujiu, who was already panting heavily.

She leaned against him, calming her erratic breathing. A beautiful blush rose on her cheeks, and her eyes, glistening with moisture, made her even more radiant and captivating.

Yin Chen looked down at her, and his heart burned with desire.

He leaned close to her reddened earlobe and whispered in a slightly husky, magnetic voice that only the two of them could hear:

"Sister Jiu Jiu, let's try something more fun next time..."

"Okay."

After a long while, she felt the warm breath on her ear and her body trembled slightly, but unexpectedly she did not refuse.

She raised her head, meeting Yin Chen's burning eyes, a provocative smile playing on her lips.

"However, we'll have to wait until you're an adult."

She certainly knew what he meant by "more interesting."

She wasn't the kind of person who was coy and passive; Yin Chen's directness and initiative were exactly in line with her own personality.

In this month, the two proactive people met and experienced almost everything that couples should do, except for that last and most important step.

As for that final step, Xu Jiujiu held firm to his principles.

Her words caused Yin Chen to feel a little depressed.

People in Douluo Continent generally mature early due to the nourishment of soul power.

He is now far superior to his peers in his previous life, both in mind and body.

Facing a stunning beauty like Xu Jiujiu, who possesses wisdom, beauty, and power, and spending every day with her, the fact that he could still maintain his last shred of rationality is the best proof of his strong will.

The hormones that belong to teenagers often surge within them like boiling magma, clamoring to break through the dam of reason.

But he knew very well that he couldn't do that.

With his current strength, if he really wanted to use force, Xu Jiujiu, as a support-type Soul King, would have no chance to resist.

He knew that she might not resist fiercely, but that respect and appreciation were far more important than a momentary impulse.

He agreed with her, saying that some of the most beautiful things are worth waiting for.

After all, the censors are everywhere, so it's best to be careful.

He didn't want to let a moment of impulsiveness cause the story to fall apart.

A month-long vacation is but a fleeting moment in the long life of a Soul Master, but for young boys and girls, it is enough for many stories to unfold and for many emotions to settle.

As the last chill of winter is dispelled by the warm breeze of early spring, Shrek Academy, this colossal institution situated in the center of the continent, awakens once more, bursting forth with unparalleled vitality.

Shrek City was bustling with activity at the start of the new school term.

Although its prosperity cannot compare with Mingdu, the technological capital of the Sun Moon Empire, its unique charm is irreplaceable as one of the most important economic and academic centers on the Douluo Continent.
