Douluo Continent: After their charm was maxed out, they became simps.

Chapter 40 Huh? You, a mere Title Douluo, dare to attack me?

Inside the training field.

Dugu Yan pulled Ye Lingling by the wrist and led her to sit down in the pavilion.

"I've already given him the book."

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling's face lit up with joy, and she asked somewhat nervously:

"What did he think of the book? Was it good?"

"Um, it looks good!" Dugu Yan thought for a moment, then continued:

He complimented you on your looks and beauty in front of me!

Upon hearing Dugu Yan's words, Ye Lingling's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly:

"Really?"

"Yes, really!" Dugu Yan nodded vigorously.

Lingling is so beautiful, no boy could resist her.

A smile appeared on Ye Lingling's face.

It's a great blessing to have someone you like who also likes you.

"Um... um! Vice Captain! Could you ask Young Master Xia if he likes cookies?" Ye Lingling asked softly.

"Cookies?" Dugu Yan looked puzzled.

"Yes, I'd like to bake some cookies for Young Master Xia myself," Ye Lingling said with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll go ask for you!" Dugu Yan agreed without hesitation.

"Thank you so much, Vice Captain!" Ye Lingling said gratefully.

Dugu Yan waved her hand.

"No problem! Lingling, you don't need to keep calling me vice-captain, it sounds a bit formal."

"I'm a little older than you. If you don't mind, you can call me Sister Yan!"

Ye Lingling nodded her little head and whispered, "Sister Yan."

Just as Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were quietly discussing how to make cookies.

A figure slowly walked over from a distance.

"Yanzi, are you free tonight? Let me invite you to dinner." Yu Tianheng walked over to the pavilion with a smile and said to Dugu Yan.

Dugu Yan looked up at Yu Tianheng, her brows furrowing slightly, and refused Yu Tianheng's request.

If it were before, he might have agreed to Yu Tianheng's request.

But after meeting Xia Bai, she suddenly realized that Yu Tianheng was actually just so-so.

It's nothing compared to a single hair on Xia Bai's head.

Yu Tianheng was taken aback when he saw that Dugu Yan had actually refused his request.

He never expected that Dugu Yan would reject him.

"Oh well."

Yu Tianheng didn't think much of it, assuming that Dugu Yan simply had no appetite.

Ye Lingling glanced at Yu Tianheng's retreating figure and asked Dugu Yan curiously:

"Sister Yan, I heard that Yu Tianheng is pursuing you, is that true?"

Dugu Yan nodded.

He confessed his feelings to me, but I didn't agree.

"Oh, I see." Ye Lingling didn't ask any further questions, since it involved Dugu Yan's private affairs.

...............

Inside the Prince's Mansion.

Prince Xuexing felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at the document in his hand.

Ever since he arrived at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, he had been secretly investigating Xia Bai's background.

After all, Xia Bai was on the Crown Prince's side, so he naturally wanted to investigate thoroughly.

The information I have now was sent by a secret agent, and it details Xia Bai's identity and background.

"An unknown weapon spirit!"

"A Soul Emperor at the age of 12!"

"And starting with the third spirit ring, they've all been ten-thousand-year spirit rings!"

"This talent is simply outrageous!"

"Even the once-renowned youngest Haotian Douluo is probably no better than this!"

Prince Xuexing crumpled the documents in his hand into a ball, his face filled with horror.

Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo standing nearby, was also filled with shock upon hearing Prince Xuexing's words.

A 12-year-old Soul Emperor! Where the hell did this monster come from?!

"With this son, Xue Qinghe is like a tiger with wings; his victory in the struggle for the throne of the Heavenly Dou Empire is practically assured!"

"Poison Douluo, I order you to do everything in your power to eliminate this monster!" Prince Xuexing waved his hands and gave the order.

We must kill this monster before it fully matures.

Dugu Bo nodded and turned to leave.

Go home.

Dugu Bo called Dugu Yan over.

"Yanyan, do you know that Xia Bai guy from your school?" Dugu Bo asked, sitting on the sofa.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan's eyes lit up.

"Of course I know!"

"He's very famous!"

"Oh? Famous?" Dugu Bo looked puzzled.

"Yes!" Dugu Yan nodded vigorously.

"He gained a huge following of female fans as soon as he arrived at our school, and even most of our teachers are die-hard fans!"

Upon hearing Dugu Yan's words, Dugu Bo was slightly startled.

He remembered that the Shrek Academy group had only been at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy for a little over two months.

"Where do he get so many female admirers? Is it because he's so powerful?"

Dugu Bo secretly guessed that these fans probably admired Xia Bai because they saw his powerful strength!

However, Dugu Yan shook her head.

"Of course not, he's very idle every day, I've never seen him cultivate."

"The reason he has so many fans is, of course, because he's handsome!"

Dugu Bo was stunned when he heard Dugu Yan's words.

"Just because he's handsome, you all admire him?" Dugu Bo was somewhat incredulous.

Being handsome can't put food on the table. This world is a dog-eat-dog world. What good is being handsome if you don't have the ability?

"Grandpa, you old fogey wouldn't understand." Dugu Yan shook her head helplessly.

You'll only know how handsome Xia Bai is once you experience it for yourself.

Dugu Bo stroked his beard.

He's met Xia Bai before!

Although he was wearing a mask at the time, so we didn't see his real face.

"Alright, Grandpa, I have an appointment with Lingling later! I'll be going now!"

Dugu Yan glanced at the time, then got up and left.

She was going to go to the street with Ye Lingling to buy some ingredients for making cookies.

After Dugu Yan left, Dugu Bo also stood up.

He transformed into a streak of light and headed towards the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.

…………

At the top of a big tree.

Dugu Bo, his face covered by a black cloth, looked at the detached villa not far away.

He has been observing here for over a week.

This guy named Xia Bai actually stays at home every day and has never gone out once.

He spends all his time either sunbathing or practicing calligraphy; he's practically a salted fish.

"No, this guy hasn't left the school, so I can't make a move!" Dugu Bo frowned.

If we kill him at school, it will be very troublesome to deal with.

The best way is to wait until he leaves school, and then find a way to kill him.

But Xia Bai stayed at home the whole time and wouldn't come out, which made Dugu Bo lose patience.

"Damn it! I'm not waiting anymore!"

"Since it's not easy to kill them at school, I'll kidnap them outside and kill them there!"

With a fierce determination, Dugu Bo jumped down from the tree and rushed towards the figure in the distance.

A mere Soul Emperor is no match for me, a Title Douluo.
