Douluo Continent: Getting Stronger After Heartbreak

Chapter 91 Fire Dance's Request [Seeking First Subscription!]

the next day.

When Qin Jian came downstairs, he was surprised to see Huo Wu's golden and red figure.

She sat alone on the sofa in the living room, looking utterly bored.

"Fire Dance?"

Qin Jian walked up, concealing his surprise, and casually asked, "You're here so early?"

"Hmm..."

The usually fiery-tempered girl suddenly became somewhat embarrassed. She clutched the hem of her clothes, glanced up at Qin Jian, and then lowered her head again: "I'm sorry, I was too impatient..."

Qin Jian found it strange: "Actually, I don't understand why you want to talk to me. We don't seem to have anything to say to each other, do we?"

"I…"

Huo Wu immediately became even more awkward. She looked around nervously before whispering, "I want to learn something from you..."

"Learn something from me..."

Qin Jian frowned and glanced at her. Thinking about what happened yesterday, he immediately had a premonition.

However, he had no interest in teaching her, so he said, "I have to go have breakfast, let's talk about it later."

He turned and walked away, but Huo Wu suddenly appeared in front of him carrying a bag: "Um... I brought you breakfast..."

Qin Jian turned around, speechless: "You actually do something like this..."

In his eyes, Huo Wu had always been that hot-tempered girl; he had never seen her like this before, trying to please him yet acting awkwardly and coyly.

But he still shook his head: "Thank you, but I still need to bring Bing'er breakfast. She's injured right now, so I need to go and get some porridge..."

He didn't take Huowu's bag, but walked past her and continued forward.

A hint of annoyance flashed in Huo Wu's eyes, but it quickly disappeared, and she followed Qin Jian out as well.

"How is Shui Bing'er's injury?"

Seeing Huo Wu catch up again, Qin Jian became even more certain of his judgment.

This guy is definitely after his ring fusion technique, otherwise, given her temper, she should have turned around and left by now.

"It's alright, but I need to rest for about ten more days."

Qin Jian led Huo Wu through Tianshui Academy, into the cafeteria, and back with breakfast, attracting a lot of attention along the way.

Huo Wu, on the other hand, garnered a wave of hostility. The students from Tianshui already harbored some resentment towards her, and now that she was walking next to Qin Jian, the most popular student, she attracted even more hatred.

"This time, you defeated me and Feng Xiaotian, making your position at Tianshui Academy even more unshakeable. These female students seem like they can be taken advantage of at will..." Huo Wu said with a sneer.

Qin Jian showed no sign of pride, simply saying, "If I could exchange it for Bing'er not getting hurt, I would rather not have this honor."

Huo Wu glanced at him curiously: "Back in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, you fought with all your might for Ning Rongrong, and this time you angrily killed Feng Xiaotian for Shui Bing'er..."

Her eyes were full of confusion: "You don't seem to care much about your own achievements, but rather about other people?"

Qin Jian glanced at her and said something Huo Wu couldn't possibly understand: "They... are everything I care about..."

Finally, they returned to the small building. The other six girls were already in the hall, each busy with their own things.

The sight of Qin Jian and Huo Wu walking side by side naturally attracted everyone's attention.

"I'm going to feed Bing'er some porridge. Please do as you please."

As soon as Qin Jian went upstairs, Huo Wu felt extremely uneasy.

The six girls' gazes were like rays, constantly sweeping over her, making her feel very uncomfortable.

This was because she needed someone's help; otherwise, given her pride, she probably wouldn't have been afraid of anyone.

"Let's go, let's find a place to have a good talk."

After finally waiting for Qin Jian to reappear, Huo Wu practically fled the small building.

"Why is the captain going out with Huo Wu?" Qiu Ruoshui asked curiously.

Xuewu crossed her arms and said, "It must have been about yesterday, right? Didn't Huowu want to speak with the captain alone?"

"Could it be that he's really going to confess his feelings? What will happen to you, sister?" Shuiyue asked worriedly.

Yu Hairou shook her head and said, "Don't worry, Yue'er, our captain isn't so easily lured away. He's clearly aggressive towards Bing'er, but he's completely unaffected by Huo Wu."

"As expected, Bing'er is still the most charming..."

Xue Wu shifted her gaze to the second floor and said, "I was wondering how those two got through last night? They didn't even ask us for help..."

"Help what..." Qiu Ruoshui asked blankly.

Then she saw six pairs of bright, piercing eyes: "Help me take a bath!"

"You mean..."

Qiu Ruoshui's eyes widened: "The captain personally gave Bing'er a bath last night?"

"Shall we go take a look?" Xuewu blinked.

"Okay, okay..."

Shuiyue was the most excited, and as a result, she was pushed to the front again.

"You're using me as a shield again!"

Her indignant cries received no sympathy whatsoever…

In the center of Tianshui College, under a blue sky and white clouds, a stream flows gently.

There was a small pavilion beside the stream, where Qin Jian and Huo Wu stood.

"Your Tianshui College is so beautiful..."

Huo Wu looked around at the scenery and sighed, "Girls' academies are great, it's a pity I'm not a water-type..."

Qin Jian's lips twitched: "To be honest, with your personality... you're more suited to a fire-type martial soul..."

Huo Wu's breathing became heavier: "What do you mean?"

Qin Jian wisely refrained from continuing, and instead asked, "What do you want to learn from me?"

Sure enough, when it came to serious matters, Huo Wu's temper subsided, and she became shy again: "I...I want to learn that from you..."

"The technique of ring fusion, right?" Qin Jian suddenly asked.

Huo Wu quickly looked up at him, but seeing his expressionless face, she couldn't help but feel uneasy: "Is...is it okay?"

"Of course...no..." Qin Jian said, crossing his arms.

Huo Wu said with some disappointment, "I knew I was being delusional. Who would easily teach such a skill to someone else?"

Qin Jian lowered his hand and smiled: "Huo Wu, you're right and wrong."

"This is indeed not something that can be easily taught to others, because it is the experience summarized by our predecessors of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School after many years of research..."

Qin Jian said, "Moreover, this kind of skill is not something that just anyone can learn. As far as I know, I am the only one among the new generation of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School who can fuse with the ring."

"Does your sect forbid this from being shared outside?" Huo Wu asked quickly.

Qin Jian shook his head and said, "This is not really a side story. After all, it is just the experience of many predecessors. There is no complete system. Everyone's soul rings are different. Whether you can succeed in the end depends entirely on your own comprehension."

"The sect leader once said that with the strength of our sect alone, it would take a long time to make any progress in the research on martial souls and soul rings. If all soul masters on the continent could exchange their research results, the speed of progress would be immeasurable."

Qin Jian looked at Huo Wu and said, "So, if you want to learn, you have to exchange it with me in kind."
