Douluo Continent: Steadily Growing Stronger in Shrek Academy

Chapter 225 A Friends' Appointment

Home? Sister Lexuan asked me to go to her house tonight? Does that mean I have to go again tonight?

Just as Lin Chen was secretly pleased, Huo Yuhao's voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Lin Chen, let's go inside and talk."

Lin Chen nodded and followed Huo Yuhao to the Tang Sect's reception room.

Looking at the huge statue of Tang San in the lobby, Lin Chen couldn't help but feel nauseous.

Huo Yuhao first poured Lin Chen a cup of tea, and then got straight to the point.

"Lin Chen, why were you so certain there was a problem west of Mingdu more than a year ago?"

"Didn't I say before? Xu Tianran's personality means he would never let us go. If that's the case, why didn't he surround Ximen as well? Did you run into trouble there?"

Huo Yuhao said angrily, "That place put Dong'er into a deep sleep, and I was also tormented to the point of death by that mysterious being. One day, I will make him taste a fate worse than death."

After saying that, Huo Yuhao slammed his fist on the table, and the entire table, including the tea on it, instantly turned into an ice sculpture.

"Hmm, I hope you'll still think that way then," Lin Chen thought to himself.

Huo Yuhao suddenly raised his eyes and stared at Lin Chen, asking seriously, "Did you already know about the existence of Qiankun Wenqing Valley?"

Lin Chen shook his head: "I don't know!"

Huo Yuhao's mental strength is still far inferior to Lin Chen's, so he can only judge the truthfulness of Lin Chen's words by his expression and tone.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao had no choice but to give up.

Then, Huo Yuhao asked, "Lin Chen, have you also consumed the immortal herb?"

Lin Chen was taken aback, wondering why Huo Yuhao would ask such a question, but then he thought that it was probably Xiao Xiao's big mouth who had told the truth.

Looks like I'll have to beat her up again.

"Yes, I've eaten," Lin Chen nodded and said.

Huo Yu nodded as well.

What are your thoughts on the Sun Moon Empire?

Lin Chen thought for a moment and said, "They have wolfish ambitions and are ready to make a move."

"If the Sun Moon Empire launches a large-scale war, what are your plans?" Huo Yuhao asked.

Shrugging, Lin Chen said somewhat casually, "What can I do? What does his starting a war have to do with me? I'm just a carefree, free-spirited Soul Master."

"Aren't you going to intervene and stop the war?"

"No, why would I meddle in other people's business?" Lin Chen found it somewhat amusing; this chosen one of destiny truly had an overflowing sense of justice!

Huo Yuhao wanted to say something, but considering that Lin Chen also had his own thoughts, he simply stopped talking.

The two chatted for a while longer before Lin Chen went back.

They knocked on Zhang Lexuan's door, but this time it wasn't Zhang Lexuan who opened it; it was Tang Xiaoyan.

"Brother Lin Chen, are you here to see Sister Le Xuan?"

Lin Chen squatted down, patted her head, and asked, "Hmm, where is your sister Le Xuan?"

"Sister Lexuan is taking a bath! Can you come and play with me for a while?" Tang Xiaoyan said coquettishly.

Lin Chen was pulled over by Tang Xiaoyan with a look of doting affection on his face.

Five minutes later, Zhang Lexuan also came out of the bathroom, wearing her usual home clothes and holding a towel to dry her wet hair.

"Sister Lexuan." Lin Chen hurriedly went to greet her, leaving Tang Xiaoyan with a face full of grief and indignation.

Seeing that Zhang Lexuan was still drying her hair, Lin Chen tentatively said, "Sister Lexuan, let me help you dry your hair."

"Um."

After obtaining Zhang Lexuan's permission, Lin Chen first took the towel from Zhang Lexuan's hand and slowly wiped Zhang Lexuan's hair.

After a while, Lin Chen raised his right hand, and the flame of light burned in his hand, raising the temperature in the room slightly.

Lin Chen transformed his soul power into a gust of hot wind, blowing it onto Zhang Lexuan's hair. He then ran his five fingers across her hair, making her long black hair gradually become smooth.

Even though it was just a simple act like fixing her hair, it warmed Zhang Lexuan's heart.

A few minutes later, Lin Chen stroked Zhang Lexuan's soft, long hair one last time and said, "Sister Lexuan, that's enough."

"Um."

Hearing Zhang Lexuan give a soft "hmm," Lin Chen withdrew his hand.

Since the two consummated their relationship, Zhang Lexuan didn't know why she wanted to spend more and more time with Lin Chen, and Lin Chen felt the same way.

"Stay and sleep here tonight."

"Um."

……

After a night, Lin Chen and Zhang Lexuan finally woke up when the sun was high in the sky.

Looking at the woman in his arms, Lin Chen's eyes were full of affection.

Zhang Lexuan also woke up. The two got up, dressed, and cooked. Everything was so wonderful.

"Sister Lexuan, I've invited Xiaoxiao and the others to get together tonight," Lin Chen said while eating.

"Okay, come back soon."

Lin Chen and Zhang Lexuan stayed at home for an afternoon. When night fell, Lin Chen went to find his friends.

Zhang Lexuan didn't go. It wasn't that Lin Chen didn't want to take her, but rather that she felt it would be better for Lin Chen to go alone, so she didn't go.

"Xiao Tu, over here!" Xiao Xiao waved excitedly at Lin Chen.

Lin Chen also walked over quickly.

Looking at this familiar place, Lin Chen couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions. This was his old stall. Now, with the improvement of his cultivation level and the increase in age, he had less and less time left.

Not only Lin Chen, but Huo Yuhao also quit after going to the Sun Moon Empire for exchange and study.

Now, my old stall has a new owner, who is working hard to make a living.

"Hey Xiao Tu, why are you so slow? Where's Senior Sister?" Xiao Xiao asked as she ran over, pulling Lin Chen toward the stall they had already reserved.

"She didn't come."

"Brother Lin is here! Come, come, have a seat." When Zhou Mingxing saw Xiao Xiao bringing Lin Chen over, he got up and pulled out a seat for Lin Chen to sit down.

Lin Chen thanked him and then sat down.

"Xiao Tu, are you leaving?" Xiao Xiao asked while eating skewers.

"Well, what else? The Douluo Continent is so big, we should at least go and see it, right?" Lin Chen said with some longing.

Although I am a transmigrator, I still want to witness the vastness of this continent, its prosperity, and its unique atmosphere.

Just like when you look at your phone, no matter how many scenes are on your phone, it's not as good as being there in person, standing in the midst of the scenery.

"Let's not talk about me anymore, what about you guys?" Lin Chen changed the subject and asked.

"I'm one of the Shrek Seven Devils of the Inner Court, so naturally I'll stay in the Inner Court to study with the teachers," Xiao Xiao said somewhat dejectedly.

Now she suddenly envied Lin Chen, who was able to travel freely to all corners of the continent.

"You're crying now? Learning from Elder Xuan is something many Soul Masters would kill for. You really don't know how lucky you are." Lin Chen tapped Xiao Xiao's head.
