Douluo Continent: Dark Demon God Biao, inheriting the position of an evil god

Chapter 148 A Stubborn Girl, A Cherry Blossom-Style Threat

Unexpectedly, the next second.

"who!"

Dai Qiu'er was instantly enraged. She clenched her fist, and the Golden Dragon Spear instantly appeared in her palm. How dare someone spy on her while she was diligently studying and catching up on her knowledge?

She clearly remembered that there was no one here when she came in.

When the Golden Dragon Spear was pressed against the opponent's throat.

She also got a clear look at Dai Yuntian's face. The latter's eyes darted around, and he touched his nose: "Um, Qiu'er, would you believe me if I said I came here to have tea?"

"What do you say?"

Dai Qiu'er gritted her teeth, and the blush on her face instantly spread from her cheeks to her ears, causing even the hand holding the Golden Dragon Spear to tremble slightly.

How much of what she just said...did he actually hear?!

The thought that he might have overheard all her shameful "practice" made Dai Qiu'er wish she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into immediately, or simply stab the eavesdropper to death.

The air freezes.

The two stared at each other.

One was so embarrassed he wanted to run away, the other was so ashamed and angry he wanted to kill someone.

Finally, Dai Yuntian coughed, trying to break the awkward atmosphere: "Um... Qiu'er, actually, I think..."

"Shut up!"

Dai Qiu'er abruptly withdrew her Golden Dragon Spear, grabbed the book on the table, and hugged it tightly to her chest as if protecting some hidden treasure: "You didn't hear anything, you didn't see anything, do you understand?!"

"Yes, yes, I didn't hear anything."

Dai Yuntian nodded readily, but his eyes unconsciously drifted to the book in her arms, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.

It can’t be suppressed. It can’t be suppressed at all.

Dai Qiu'er raised the golden dragon spear in her hand again: "You're still laughing? Believe me or not, I'll stab you to death!"

"Okay, okay, I won't laugh anymore."

Dai Yuntian quickly raised his hands in surrender, trying hard to suppress his laughter.

He paused, his gaze turning serious: "But Qiu'er, do you really think it's necessary to use those 'techniques' to 'manipulate' someone?"

Dai Qiu'er was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

Dai Yuntian looked at her and said gently, “What I mean is, if someone really likes you, you don’t need to use those words or conditions to ‘manipulate’ you. He likes you for who you are, including your appetite, your temper, your… well, your occasional clumsiness.”

"And if he doesn't like you, no matter how many 'tricks' you use, it will only make him feel..."

He pointed to the book in her arms: "Hmm, it's kind of funny."

Dai Qiu'er stared blankly at him, a hint of confusion flashing in her beautiful eyes, which quickly turned into anger and embarrassment: "Are you... are you mocking me?!"

Dai Yuntian quickly waved his hand: "No, no, I just think you don't need to learn those things, just be yourself."

"The wind is free, and so are you. You don't need to deliberately imitate anyone."

Be myself?

Dai Qiu'er thought for a moment, seemingly understanding but not quite, then looked at him suspiciously: "You mean...like this?"

Dai Yuntian nodded: "Yes, you are fine as you are now."

Dai Qiu'er was silent for a moment, then suddenly narrowed her eyes: "Do you like me as I am now?"

Dai Yuntian: "..."

This girl learns pretty quickly.

He smiled helplessly, turned around and walked out of the library: "Come on, I'll treat you to a meal. I heard that a new chef who is good at making grilled fish has joined the college cafeteria."

Hey! You still haven't answered my question!

Dai Qiu'er chased after him angrily.

"What's wrong? I didn't hear you."

"Dai Yuntian!!!"

The golden light exploded again, and the two chased and fled, quickly disappearing into the library.

The students were left staring at each other in disbelief.

"Those were... Dai Yuntian and Dai Qiu'er just now?"

"Are they flirting? And they even came out of the library."

"Tsk tsk, young people..."

……

"boom!"

Accompanied by a dull thud.

Wang Dong, who was bewitched by Cui Yajie, was kicked in the chest by Zhu Lu and sent flying backward. He lay on the field, hunched over, his face pale.

She looked at Zhu Lu with resentment.

how so……

As the number one genius of the Haotian Sect for thousands of years, she originally thought that after coming to Shrek Academy, even if she could not become the number one in her class, she would at least be the second or third.

But reality dealt her a heavy blow.

There were two monsters, Dai Yuntian and Dai Qiu'er, pressing down on them.

In today's semi-final, it was thought that with Dai Yuntian absent due to a last-minute leave, her opponents would only be Zhu Lu and Cui Yajie, whom she should be able to defeat easily. However, cruel reality dealt her another heavy blow.

lost.

The defeat was complete and utter, without a doubt.

On the other side, Xiao Xiao's situation wasn't much better.

She knelt on one knee, her hands supporting her on the ground, large beads of sweat sliding down her cheeks and dripping onto the field.

Her martial soul, the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, had long been retrieved. Her spiritual power was almost exhausted under Cui Yajie's charm and mental attack. She was swaying and about to collapse, but she was still gritting her teeth and persevering.

Cui Yajie walked up to her, a hint of reluctance flashing in her eyes, and said softly, "Xiao Xiao, admit defeat. We don't want to hurt you too badly, and besides, you've already reached your limit."

Xiao Xiao bit her pale lower lip, struggling to get up: "No, we haven't lost yet. I can still fight. I still have my second martial soul."

Having already experienced a seduction and mental shock, her mental strength was far from what it used to be, and she was so weak that she couldn't even get up.

Wang Dong hurriedly called out, "Xiao Xiao, don't insist anymore. A loss is a loss. We can always try again next time."

Xiao Xiao's pale face was full of stubbornness: "No, no, we've come this far with so much effort!"

She stood up unsteadily, raising her slender, white hand to summon the Nine Phoenixes' Chariot Flute.

Seeing this, the audience below the stage couldn't help but hold their breath for her.

Even Du Weiren, the referee, wanted to persuade her to give up.

at this time.

"Xiao Xiao, go down."

A gentle voice came from the edge of the arena.

Xiao Xiao instinctively refused, even though she was already at her limit: "No... absolutely not!"

But then the sunlight in front of her was blocked by a tall figure.

His handsome face, paired with a gentle smile, looked so warm in the sunlight.

Xiao Xiao blinked, wondering if she was hallucinating: "Yun Tian? How come you..."

"Don't talk, let's rest for a bit."

Seeing that her eyes were so tired they could barely stay open, Dai Yuntian wanted to reach out and pull her into his arms, so she could lean against him and rest quietly.

Xiao Xiao resisted and pushed him away, her voice weak but stubborn: "No, the competition isn't over yet!"

Looking at her stubborn expression, Dai Yuntian felt a hint of helplessness in his eyes. He then narrowed his eyes slightly and leaned closer to her ear.

In a voice only the two of them could hear, carrying a subtle threat:

"Hey... Xiao Xiao, you don't want to let a moment of bravado affect your potential and cause you to fall behind us later, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiao's body stiffened abruptly, and an unnatural blush instantly spread across her cheeks.

She looked up at Dai Yuntian, meeting his eyes which held a smile yet also a hint of warning. She bit her lip and ultimately remained silent.

The tension finally eased at that moment, and the willpower that had been holding on collapsed instantly.

Her vision went black, and her body went limp as she fell forward.

Dai Yuntian reacted quickly and caught her.

The girl's petite body was so light it seemed weightless. She nestled quietly in his arms and fell into a deep sleep.

Her breathing became steady and long, and the stubbornness on her face finally faded away at this moment, leaving only peace and trust.

At this moment, the whole place was silent.

All eyes were focused on Dai Yuntian and Xiao Xiao in his arms.

"..."

Dai Yuntian felt the scorching gazes coming from all directions, his lips twitched, and he looked up at the referee's table with an innocent smile: "Why are you looking at me?"

He turned to Du Weilin, his tone relaxed: "Director Du, aren't you going to announce it yet?"

Du Weilin then seemed to snap out of his daze, cleared his throat, and announced loudly: "The winner of this match is Dai Yuntian's team!"

However, the expected cheers did not erupt.

The entire stadium remained eerily quiet.

Everyone's attention remained fixed on Dai Yuntian, who was holding Xiao Xiao.

"..."

Du Weilin's lips twitched slightly.

He felt that... his authority as the head of the Martial Soul Department seemed to be losing its power in front of Dai Yuntian.

After a brief silence, the arena finally erupted in a deafening roar of screams and chatter!
"Wow... Dai Yuntian is so gentle! I'm so happy!"

"Waaaah... I'm so envious of Xiao Xiao, I want to lean against him too..."

"Add one! Me too!"

"Add two!"

Amidst the screams that rose and fell, there were the sounds of countless young girls' hearts breaking.

The image of Dai Yuntian carrying Xiao Xiao off the field became a "famous scene" in the hearts of countless people.

Wang Dong was helped up by his teammates. Looking at Dai Yuntian's departing figure and then at his own disheveled state, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

There was envy, resentment, and a hint of...disappointment that was hard to explain?
