Douluo Continent: I came from Demon Slayer!

Chapter 166 An Encounter

That evening, after seeing Xiao Wu off, Lin Yang put his arms around both Ye Lengleng and Dugu Yan, ignoring their slight resistance, and led them directly into the room.

The three of them played Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game) all night long.

Lin Yang, the landlord, was very powerful and domineering. He slaughtered the two "peasants" without leaving a single survivor, leaving nothing but barren land.

The next morning at breakfast, Dugu Yan and Ye Lengleng naturally did not show up.

Xiao Wu was about to call them, but Lin Yang stopped her, saying, "Never mind them, let's eat first."

"So mysterious."

Xiao Wu looked at Lin Yang suspiciously, then muttered something but didn't ask any further questions.

Halfway through the meal, Xiao Wu suddenly brought up Shrek Academy.

"I saw Big Bear the other day. He said Shrek Academy has moved to Heaven Dou City."

Lin Yang was somewhat surprised.

Qin Ming did not go to Soto City this time, but unexpectedly Shrek Academy still came.

It seems they still have their eyes on this year's Martial Soul Elite Tournament.

Where are they now?

The little rabbit thought for a moment and said, "It seems I'm temporarily staying at an academy called Blue Tyrant."

"Um!"

Lin Yang nodded.

Shrek Academy wants to participate in the competition, and Blue Tyrant Academy is their only option.

It seems that it won't be long before Blue Tyrant Academy changes its name and becomes "Shrek Academy".

After dinner, Xiao Wu dragged Lin Yang to go shopping.

Now that she was finally free from those two third wheels, she naturally wouldn't let this rare moment of solitude slip by.

We strolled along, stopping frequently to buy things, eat and drink, having a wonderful time.

Lin Yang was naturally responsible for paying the bills and dealing with the leftovers.

Just as Xiao Wu was about to go to a newly opened women's clothing store, two figures happened to walk out of the store.

"Lin Yang?"

The moment Ning Rongrong saw Lin Yang, she blurted it out.

Lin Yang was taken aback.

He never expected to run into Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing by such a coincidence. Judging from their appearance, the two seemed to be out shopping as well.

"Miss Ning, it's been a long time."

"We know each other, so just call me Rongrong."

Ning Rongrong chuckled and greeted her in a very familiar manner.

Xiao Wu, standing to the side, looked rather displeased. She stared at Ning Rongrong for a few seconds, then suddenly remembered, "Aren't you the girl who went to register for Shrek Academy?"

Back then at Shrek Academy, she only met Ning Rongrong once, and they didn't even exchange a word.

Ning Rongrong's gaze swept back and forth between Xiao Wu and Lin Yang, a hint of ambiguity appearing on her face, before she said, "I know you, Xiao Wu, whom Ma Hongjun and Oscar often mention."

"You must be Lin Yang's girlfriend. I didn't have a chance to introduce myself last time. My name is Ning Rongrong."

She then pointed to Zhu Zhuqing beside her, "This is Zhu Zhuqing."

Upon hearing the word "girlfriend," Xiaowu's face flushed red instantly, and her eyes darted away, but she didn't deny it. "You... hello."

Seeing Xiao Wu's expression, Ning Rongrong secretly found it amusing, but her face became even more enthusiastic. "Are you here to shop too?"

"Perfect timing! Zhuqing and I just came out from inside. Let's go take a look together. I'll introduce you to some really beautiful lace."

"Oh... okay!"

The little rabbit was pulled into the shop by Ning Rongrong in a daze.

Seeing Ning Rongrong quickly establish a good relationship with Xiao Wu, Lin Yang narrowed his eyes but didn't say anything.

He always remembered the favors he had received from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

If Ning Rongrong really wants to be friends with Xiao Wu, he naturally won't stop her.

If he only wanted to take advantage of the situation, he would let the little rabbit see the other party's true colors.

Just then, Lin Yang felt an undisguised gaze fall upon him.

He turned to look at Zhu Zhuqing, smiled slightly, and asked, "What is it?"

Zhu Zhuqing's voice was cold and indifferent: "You're very strong!"

Lin Yang nodded slightly: "You're not bad either, you're almost level 30, I can tell you've been training very hard."

Zhu Zhuqing opened her mouth, feeling that Lin Yang was mocking her.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just telling the truth."

Lin Yang smiled helplessly: "To go from level 25 to almost Soul Master in less than a year is really amazing."

Zhu Zhuqing looked away when she saw those dark eyes, and managed to stammer out a "thank you."

"By the way, as a student of Shrek Academy, shouldn't you be hostile towards me? After all, last time..."

'

Lin Yang didn't continue speaking.

But Zhu Zhuqing understood his meaning, her eyes flashed, and she said softly.

"A loss is a loss, especially since Tang San provoked you. He was simply outmatched..."

"

She paused, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "You'd better be careful. Tang San's identity... is unusual. I've heard he's very close to the Power Clan."

O

Lin Yang raised an eyebrow.

The fact that the kitten could say that clearly shows it knows about Tang San's background.

Has his Clear Sky Hammer martial spirit been exposed?

And then there's the Power Clan; they just stuck to them directly, as expected.

"Whatever!"

Lin Yang looked unconcerned. He had even killed his master, so why should he be afraid of a few vassals?

His nonchalant yet confident demeanor stirred a hint of longing and envy in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes.

She also hopes that one day she will be able to say "no" to her family with a clear conscience.

But all of this is based on strength.

She's just a minor Great Soul Master right now.

If you can't even control your current fate, how can you have the confidence to think about the future?

Lin Yang and Zhu Zhuqing then chatted casually for a few more minutes to learn about the current situation at Shrek Academy.

It was pretty much what he expected.

Soon, Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong came out of the shop.

I don't know what clothes she bought, but Xiao Wu's face was even redder than when she went in.

"let's go."

Xiao Wu tugged at Lin Yang's arm and hurriedly left as if fleeing.

Once the two figures had completely disappeared from the street, Zhu Zhuqing also withdrew her gaze, a ripple passing through her eyes before quickly returning to calm.

"Zhuqing, let's go for another walk."

"No!"

Zhu Zhuqing shook her head: "I'm going back to the academy first."

"Ah~, no!"

Ning Rongrong let out a "wailing". What's the point of shopping alone without Zhu Zhuqing by her side?

"Zhuqing, can you spend some more time with me? Stop thinking about cultivation all day."

"You know you can easily turn someone into an idiot by cultivating this!"

Zhu Zhuqing ignored Ning Rongrong's attempts to persuade her to stay and prepared to leave.

She had only taken two steps when she suddenly stopped, turning her head slightly to look at Ning Rongrong, her eyes filled with hesitation. "Rongrong, do you know... what kind of person Lin Yang is?"

Ok?

Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up instantly.

There's some juicy gossip!

Ning Rongrong immediately sensed something big was going to happen; she knew that Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Lao Er were engaged.

Why would someone inquire about Lin Yang at this time? Could it be that... he's fallen for someone else?

Wow, that's exciting!

Ning Rongrong sprang up instantly, grabbed Zhu Zhuqing's arm, and whispered, "Zhuqing, let's talk as we walk."

Zhu Zhuqing pondered for a moment, then nodded.

Ning Rongrong silently felt a moment of sympathy for Dai Mubai, then said, "Lin Yang, well, I've only met him two or three times, but I'm sure he's a super—womanizer..."

'

Zhu Zhuqing's expression remained unchanged.

Aren't all men like that?

"But he's really strong, let me tell you..."

'

Just as Ning Rongrong was chirping crickets behind her, Lin Yang suddenly sneezed on the other side.

He rubbed his nose and snorted inwardly.

He certainly wouldn't be sick; there must be someone talking badly about him behind his back.
