Douluo: My Clone Simulates the Star God.

Chapter 43 Winterfire Hall (Seventh Update)

"Hey! Did you hear? There seems to be a mysterious shop that opened on that street, and it's packed with customers every day. Should we go check it out?"

"What kind of shop is it? You're making it sound so mysterious?"

"What else could it be? It's that kind of thing, of course! You'll see when you get there!"

Recently, there have been some rumors circulating outside Donghai Academy, seemingly about the opening of a mysterious shop.

But the problem is that there were no shops around, which made many people curious about what had happened.

As a resident of Donghai City, Xie Xie was naturally very interested in these mysterious new things, so on a certain afternoon of his day off, he pulled Tang Wulin along and prepared to go outside to check things out.

"Xie Xie, what on earth is this mysterious matter?"

"Of course it's good stuff!" Seeing Tang Wulin's stunned expression, Xie Xie smiled mysteriously. "You must have heard the rumors outside the school, right? What are your thoughts on them?"

"Uh... I don't know." Tang Wulin has been so engrossed in cultivation lately that he hasn't kept up with any news from the outside world. Even if he did know, he probably wouldn't care, because all he wants to do right now is cultivate, after all, he's aiming for Shrek Academy.

But Xie Xie was different. He practically dragged Tang Wulin out of the dormitory. "Look at you! It's one thing to cultivate during school, but today is a day off! Do you really want to stay cooped up in the dormitory all day? Come out and walk around with me!"

Tang Wulin ultimately couldn't resist Xie Xie's persistent pleading and left the academy with him, but...

"Where are you planning to go?" But as they were leaving the school, they ran into Firefly, who was returning from outside.

"This is a secret between men..." Xie Xie clearly didn't intend to say anything, and directly pulled Tang Wulin away from Donghai Academy.

Seeing the two acting suspiciously, Liu Ying's expression was somewhat strange. These two, though roommates, were far too intimate! Could it be that because Gu Yue wasn't here, Tang Wulin and Xie Xie had gotten together?

Since Na'er discovered that the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest had disappeared, Yao Lan guessed that Gu Yue might have gone somewhere else and wouldn't come to the East Sea.

As it turned out, his guess was correct. Gu Yue had disappeared without a trace, and many of the interactions between Tang Wulin and Gu Yue in the original work had disappeared... But she shouldn't have gotten involved with Xie Xie, right?

Sensing something amiss, the firefly felt compelled to follow these two strange individuals to see what they were planning to do.

And so, the three of them secretly left Donghai Academy and headed towards the mysterious place Xie Xie had mentioned. Little did they know, their actions were being observed by an icy blue figure…

"Xie Xie, is this the place you're talking about?"

"Of course, hide first!"

In a corner, Xie Xie and Tang Wulin peeked out to observe the mysterious shop. Tang Wulin, who was not interested in it at first, suddenly became interested because he discovered a very strange scene.

Although the shop looked large, all the doors and windows were closed. The only open door was the main entrance, but it was covered by a huge black cloth, making it impossible to see inside.

"Look! Someone's coming over there!"

"Why are they all men?"

Just as Xie Xie and Tang Wulin were observing, several figures walked over from a distance, all with smiles on their faces that Tang Wulin couldn't understand at all. Then they walked straight into the shop.

A few minutes later, almost everyone walked out of the shop with a satisfied look on their faces, which made Xie Xie and Tang Wulin even more curious.

"What's with those people's expressions? Why did they change after they came out?"

"And what exactly do they sell in there?"

A series of questions arose in their minds. Now that the seeds of curiosity had been sown, it was time for them to take root and sprout.

"Why don't we go in and see what they're selling? You have to try everything. How can you find the truth if you don't try?" After observing from the outside for a long time, the two still hadn't gotten any information, so they finally decided to go in and find out.

So, Xie Xie pulled Tang Wulin directly to the shop's entrance, and it was then that they saw a line of small print above the shop sign...

"Winter Fire Hall? What kind of place sells this?"

Although we know the name, we obviously can't figure out what the store sells from it. We still need to put it into practice!

"Wu Lin, let's go in!"

"Walk!"

The two walked heavily and solemnly into this mysterious place called Winterfire Hall.

However, the moment the black cloth was pulled back, pink light shone on their faces, and when they looked in the direction of the light, their eyes widened in surprise.

Because the things this store sells are actually people?

"Wait! They show no signs of life, they're just simple dolls... I didn't expect them to be so exquisitely made?"

Xie Xie noticed the problem immediately and figured it out, while Tang Wulin stared at the doll on the counter, then looked down at the bottom of the doll where there was a sign with many things written on it, such as usage instructions and cleaning methods...

"Oh? So that's what they sell here?"

After reading the description of the doll, the two children's faces immediately turned red. They never expected that there was such a way to play with it, which really broadened their horizons.

So this is the adult world?

"Welcome... little one?" A female receptionist came over at this moment, but her expression immediately changed after she realized that the customer was a child, because they were not allowed to serve children of this age. If the Federation found out, there would definitely be big problems!

"Get out of here, kids, this isn't a place for you."

Upon hearing the receptionist's words, Xie Xie immediately apologized, realizing the seriousness of the situation. If his family found out he had come to a place like this, it would be a disgrace for life!

"I'm sorry, we'll leave now. Wu Lin... Wu Lin?"

Xie Xie originally planned to leave with Tang Wulin, but then he discovered something that shocked him.

Tang Wulin!

The cultivation fanatic who had always stayed in the academy was now staring intently at a puppet, and even reached out to touch it.

You're really capable!

"elder sister!"

Seemingly having discovered the mystery of the doll, Tang Wulin's expression immediately turned serious, and he looked at the receptionist with utmost seriousness.

"How much does this doll cost?"

"Huh?" x2

Not only was Xie Xie stunned, but the receptionist was also stunned.

No, you really plan to buy it?

Hahahahahahahahahahaha!
