Douluo Continent: Xiao Xiao, I'm going to control you fiercely!

Chapter 98 Fireworks

"Xiao Xiao, let's go, the auction is about to start!"

Outside the door, Tang Ya called out with a smile, her voice as familiar as ever, "Sister Xiao Ya, I won't go tonight. Let the teacher go with you. I want to go outside for some fresh air."

Xiao Xiao hesitated for a moment, but finally made up her mind.

"Hey, Xiao Xiao, aren't you going? Okay, good luck then~"

The sound of women's teasing came from outside the door, and the footsteps faded away, yet seemed to linger.

Because of the theft of the Conferred God Platform, Tiandou City was sealed off for three whole days, and the auction was postponed for three days as a result, only resuming today.

During these three days, Xiao Xiao, who had already read through the results-oriented theory, began to retreat to her hotel room to seek a methodology.

Xiao Xiao would like to express her special thanks to Sister Xiao Tao, because Sister Xiao Tao has the most complete collection of records from official history and serious romance novels.

This is also the reason why the women outside the door were making meaningful jokes earlier.

In fact, the women outside the door didn't really leave. They couldn't bear not to hear such a juicy story!

Ultimately, it was Moon, the lonely old man, who bore the brunt of the entire auction.

Actually, Mu En was quite unconventional. Before heading to the auction, he secretly slipped a soul tool to Ma Xiaotao.

That was an invisibility soul tool developed in Douluo Three Kingdoms, powered by a large amount of soul power.

This soul tool was originally intended to be used to assassinate Xu Tianran, but now it's being used by Ma Xiaotao and the other two for this kind of thing, which is both laughable and pathetic.

"What's going on? Why aren't you going to the auction? Let me see."

Xu Shu's phantom lay on its side in the air, like a wisp of smoke doing nothing, flipping through the semi-transparent character panel.

Feeling down?

"Alright, alright, there's nothing much to do at the auction anyway, let's go explore outside the city."

"Looking at the map, the old plum tree on Tianqing Mountain outside Tiandou City is indeed in bloom; it's a great place to relax."

Xu Shu nodded to himself, his fingertips tracing patterns in the air as he set the route, and simultaneously started screen recording.

Yes, yesterday he manipulated Xiao Xiao to bury a lot of fixed-position soul-guided shells under the Iron Blood Sect, which caused the character's mood to drop.

But those shells could easily be used as fireworks for moon-gazing and plum blossom viewing tonight, couldn't they? The dazzling fireworks created by the explosion of various elements could definitely improve the character's mood.

Xu Shu, smugly praising his own cleverness, was completely unaware that his actions were partly guided.

Upon receiving Xu Shu's message, Xiao Xiao's lips curled into a faint smile as she walked out of the room with light steps.

Inadvertently, Xiao Xiao glanced at the illusory silhouette of Xu Shu floating beside her.

Hmph—

She had been meticulously planning these past few days, constantly discussing the beautiful scenery of Tianqing Peak outside Tiandou City with her sisters, all for this one moment.

God can see her mood through the light screen, but that is only her mood at that moment, and cannot see through her momentary disguise.

Just a fleeting moment of melancholy in his gaze is enough to earn you a "time together".

Even a god as wooden as a log needs someone to gradually enter his heart.

Let's start with some wonderful time together as a couple.

A minor deity, easily manipulated.

Because Xiao Xiao is only 1.5 meters tall, Xu Shu, who is lying in the air looking down at her, did not notice the vivid little expressions on Xiao Xiao's face. Otherwise, he would have realized that Xiao Xiao is no different from those living, breathing real people in real life.

Tian Dou City, adjacent to the Tian Dou Mountains, is bathed in the light of receding tides. The sky seems to be gradually cooling down, but in reality, it is completely hidden behind the mountains without anyone noticing.

The mountain path gleamed with a damp, bluish light in the twilight. Xiao Xiao walked ahead, her light green dress trailing on the ground, her single ponytail swaying gently.

She held a glowing soul guide balloon she had bought at the Tiandou City market in her hand. Its warm yellow glow illuminated Xu Shu, who was three steps behind her.

Like some unwritten rule, Xu Shu followed behind Xiao Xiao, simply watching her figure, fragmented by light and shadow...

And her soft, dark hair, gently stirred by the breeze.

Tap, tap, tap.

The clear sound of heels tapping on the stone slabs echoed in the silent valley, as if knocking something strange into Xu Shu's heart.

As you walk halfway up the mountain, the plum grove comes into view, its branches dark and its flowers abundant, as if a cluster of fire has been lit on the distant mountaintop.

Looking up, the luminous moon hangs above the plum blossoms, its clear light cascading down, revealing every detail of the flower's veins.

As the wind rustled through the treetops, thousands of plum blossoms rose and fell in the sea of ​​clouds. Some crossed the abyss under the moonlight, like fireflies chasing the Milky Way; others swirled among the craggy rocks, like weary butterflies lingering on old branches.

The moonlight was even more ethereal at this moment, its silvery glow piercing through the gaps in the flowers, weaving mottled ink patterns on the ground. Each drifting flower shadow trailed a pale blue tail of light, like a fish swimming upstream.

The air also changed its texture at this moment, with a cool, subtle fragrance replacing the earthy smell of the mountains.

For some reason, Xu Shu suddenly felt a warmth. It was a long-lost warmth, like the warmth of being wrapped in a blanket when he was a child.

Despite the biting mountain wind, my body felt warm and soft as spring.

He felt good about this warmth that came from somewhere.

The wind gradually stopped.

The two reached the mountaintop, where fallen petals carpeted the ground like three feet of fragrant snow, and the moonlight flowing over them created shimmering waves.

In the distance, the lights of Tiandou City resembled stars falling into the sea, while here only Mei Po and Yue Hun resonated in the void.

Perhaps this is the tangible feeling that only virtual reality games can provide, a feeling comparable to reality.

Xu Shu kept marveling at the beautiful scenery before him, and at this moment he could no longer clearly distinguish between people and scenery.

"Thump"

South of Tiandou City.

A magnificent elemental storm surged into the sky, exploding into dazzling fireworks that left their mark and lingered for a long time.

In the dazzling afterglow, Xu Shu's hand twitched slightly without his notice.

As if recalling something happy, Xiao Xiao, who had been gazing at Tian Dou City, suddenly smiled.

She looked up at the sky, and he looked up at her.

The fireworks seemed to last a long time, yet also seemed to last only a moment.

When the last spark fell into Tiandou City.

Xu Shu turned off the screen recording, looked around, and hesitated for a long time.

Finally, he walked over and tentatively placed his hand in Xiao Xiao's loosely clenched hand.

Warm and soft.

Although he had no sense of reality whatsoever, he was convinced of it.

It was a novel experience, somewhat different from what my husband had described, but... it was surprisingly good.

Virtual reality is truly powerful.

Xu Shu shook his head and chuckled, then tried to pull his hand back.

Just then, a mountain breeze swept by, lifting the glowing soul guide balloon in Xiao Xiao's hand, causing her to clench her fist slightly.

Xu Shu looked up at the sky.

You guys... know how to make games.

Well, let's just enjoy this inner peace that we've never felt before today.

Xu Shu abandoned any further actions and turned his gaze back to the Heavenly Dou City before him.

After the fireworks exploded in the south of the city, an extremely dazzling golden dragon-shaped firework suddenly burst forth in the center of the city, roaring and tearing through the night sky.

For a moment, the smile in Xiao Xiao's eyes deepened.

This wave.

Xiao Xiao said:

Well done, teacher!
