Douluo: The Thousand-Faced Angel in the Dragon King

Chapter 54: Using Money to Get Someone Released, the Two Contest

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena's eyes lit up. Since transforming into human form, she had inexplicably fallen in love with shopping, especially with Qian Mo, so she immediately agreed.

The two shopped from day to night, trying on clothes, buying jewelry, and eating delicious food, having a great time.

That evening, while Qianmo and Gu Yuena were buying seafood skewers at a small stall in the brightly lit night market, Qianmo suddenly received a phone call. After answering, her expression suddenly became strange.

Gu Yuena was enjoying a delicious grilled squid when she saw this scene and couldn't help but ask, "Who called?"

Qianmo suppressed a smile, his eyes full of laughter. "It's Lizhi. He said he was eating out without money and got held up by the restaurant owner. He asked me to bring money to rescue him."

Gu Yuena chuckled. "No, there really are people who eat out without money!"

"Let's go, let's get them out."

Qianmo led Gu Yuena to a seafood restaurant. As soon as they entered, they saw Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi squatting against the wall like prisoners, with the restaurant owner watching them closely.

"Don't worry, boss, my friend will be here soon. We'll definitely be able to pay for the meal today!" Xu Lizhi said to the restaurant owner with a big smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Lizhi caught a glimpse of Qian Mo and Gu Yuena entering the room out of the corner of his eye. He quickly waved and shouted, "Brother Mo, Sister Na, I'm here! Come and save me!"

The restaurant patrons were drawn by the shouts and couldn't help but look over. Ye Xinglan, who was next to Xu Lizhi, turned her head away. She really wanted to find a crack to crawl into right now.

Qianmo tried hard to control the corners of her mouth, but they still turned up slightly, and her whole body trembled slightly as she tried to suppress her laughter.

"Pay his bill!" Qian Mo handed the black card to the restaurant owner, looking at Xu Lizhi and Ye Xinglan who had stood up with a smile.

Ye Xinglan's pretty face turned bright red, her head almost drooping to her chest, and her toes shuffled back and forth on the ground as if she were trying to carve out a three-bedroom apartment.

Xu Lizhi looked at Qian Mo helplessly and said, "Brother Mo, just laugh if you want to!"

Qian Mo burst into laughter, saying between laughs, "Hahaha, Li Zhi, we're Shrek Academy students, we're not short of money, are we? How come we didn't even bring any cash when we went out to eat? And neither of us brought any?"

Xu Lizhi said aggrievedly, "Someone invited me to dinner, that's why I didn't bring any money. But I didn't expect them to run away under the pretext of going to the toilet."

"No, it's unreasonable for someone to treat you to a meal without bringing any money." Gu Yuena couldn't help but laugh and teased, covering her mouth.

Qianmo patted Xu Lizhi on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Be more careful next time. Make sure you bring enough money with you when you go out."

"Speaking of which, who treated you two to dinner? And how did they run away?" Gu Yuena asked curiously.

"It's a friend Xu Lizhi somehow made, named Tang Wulin," Ye Xinglan raised her head, her eyes practically spitting fire, clenching her fists and gritting her teeth as she said, "I'll make him pay!"

……

The next day, Qianmo and Gu Yuena decided to come and watch the Tianhai Alliance Grand Tournament. As soon as they entered the stadium, they saw Ye Xinglan and Tang Wulin facing off.

"Brother Mo!" Xu Lizhi, who had sharp eyes, called out.

"What are you doing?" Qianmo asked, feigning confusion.

Xu Lizhi said helplessly, "Because Wu Lin ran away yesterday, he almost made us stay at the restaurant to wash dishes. Xinglan was so angry that she specially participated in the competition to fight Wu Lin."

"Please come and persuade Sister Xinglan," Xu Lizhi pleaded.

On the other side, Tang Wulin also noticed Qian Mo's arrival. He quietly looked Qian Mo up and down. Today, Qian Mo was wearing a white trench coat, and the sharpness he showed on the competition stage yesterday was gone. His temperament was even more holy and noble. He could even feel a warmth from Qian Mo.

Qian Mo naturally noticed Tang Wulin's gaze and nodded slightly to him, thus acknowledging that he had met this chosen one from the original story.

Gu Yuena, standing beside him, remained silent, her head bowed, her amethyst-like eyes filled with disbelief.

How could this be? How could that boy have that guy's aura on him, and so strong at that?

"Fine, very well. I'd like to see just how capable you are!"

Ye Xinglan made a harsh statement to Tang Wulin, then turned and walked towards Qian Mo. Qian Mo stepped forward and said, "A contest is fine, but be careful. I think this Tang Wulin is not simple."

"Hmph! Amo, you're boosting their morale while diminishing your own." Ye Xinglan wrinkled her nose and said arrogantly, "How extraordinary can a little Soul Master from a remote, impoverished area be?"

"Even a phoenix can emerge from a humble dwelling; don't underestimate the heroes of the world!" Qian Mo said meaningfully.

Gu Yuena felt a slight tremor in her heart. Had Qian Mo figured something out? Then wouldn't she also be...?

Ye Xinglan and Qian Mo locked eyes for a long while before Ye Xinglan finally calmed down and whispered, "I know, A-Mo. I will definitely give it my all and not underestimate the other side."

Qianmo nodded in satisfaction. Because she often discussed swordsmanship with Ye Xinglan, she was now much stronger than she was at this time in the original story. As long as she didn't let her guard down, defeating him would be even easier now than she could in the original story.

"Oh dear, Brother Mo, didn't I tell you to persuade Sister Xinglan? Why did you make her take it so seriously?" Xu Lizhi said from the side, on the verge of tears.

Qian Mo rolled her eyes. "This will all be over after one match, it's nothing!"

The latest novel is first published here!

At this moment, Tang Wulin's surprised voice suddenly rang out.

"Dance teacher!"

Qianmo turned her head and saw a cool and handsome man in white with blue hair walking towards her.

An important supporting character in the early part of the original work, dressed in white with a blue sword, with a sky full of ice and snow, dancing in the sky.

Just then, Wu Changkong's gaze swept over, and Qian Mo's lips curled up as he said in a deep voice, "Perhaps, I should call you Senior Wu."

Upon hearing this, Xu Lizhi and Ye Xinglan looked at Wu Changkong with curiosity, as he had actually studied at Shrek Academy.

"You know me?" A hint of doubt flashed in Wu Changkong's eyes. Judging from Qian Mo's age, he shouldn't be aware of the time he spent studying in the inner academy.

"I studied under Elder Zhuo for a period of time and heard him mention you," Qianmo explained.

"Old Zhuo misses you very much," Qianmo said softly, looking at the silent Wu Changkong.

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Changkong's body trembled almost imperceptibly, a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes, and his fists, hidden in his sleeves, clenched tightly, as if he was enduring something.

"Let's go watch the match." Qian Mo politely said goodbye and pulled Gu Yuena towards the competition stage. Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi followed closely behind.

"Teacher Wu," Tang Wulin said with concern, keenly sensing Wu Changkong's sadness.

Wu Changkong said in a muffled voice, "I'm fine. You prepare well for the competition and don't disgrace Class Zero."

"I understand, Ms. Wu!"

Not long after, it was Tang Wulin's turn to fight Ye Xinglan.
