Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 570 Sister Wang Dong: If you dare to run away, I'll kill you! (10,000 words per day)

Huo Yuhao was secretly delighted at this moment, for no other reason than that his speech was too frightening. Although his segment ended relatively quickly, Zhang Lexuan forgot to ask him for the number of his favorite fairy.

Very risky.

If I can't produce it, I'll probably be eliminated immediately—that doesn't seem so bad, does it?

Huo Yuhao's eyes darted around, as if he had thought of something. He looked around and began to assess whether he could run away now. Anyway, the establishment of his authority was over, so he wasn't afraid to run away. When else would he wait?

But at that moment, among the sea goddesses on the lake, there seemed to be one person still staring at him.

Why is this person staring at me?

Huo Yuhao felt a little guilty. This person was the girl who was suspected to be Wang Dong's sister. She ignored the other male students' self-introductions and seemed to be staring at him intently through her veil.

Huo Yuhao looked around and pretended to run away, but suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

Turning her head, she found that the person was not only still staring at her, but also seemed to be smiling menacingly through the veil when she saw that she was about to run away. Her delicate hand gently brushed across her neck, as if she was tickling it.

But only Huo Yuhao could see clearly that this wasn't an itch; it was rubbing his neck!

If you dare to run away, I'll kill you.

This is the correct meaning that Huo Yuhao read from the other party's subtle actions.

No, I'm very familiar with your brother, but not with you. Why won't you let me leave?

Huo Yuhao's eyes widened, and he froze, obediently stopping on the lotus leaf. Seeing his actions, the woman seemed to nod almost imperceptibly and withdrew her hand in satisfaction.

We have to run away!

Huo Yuhao was extremely anxious. This woman could actually see through what he was thinking; it was terrifying.

As of yesterday, only his own mother knew him so well. This woman could even see through his subtle movements and understand what he was thinking. This woman was completely unapproachable.

Huo Yuhao looked around anxiously, seemingly trying to remind Zhang Lexuan that she hadn't asked him for the good card of the Sea Goddess Fairy, and should have been eliminated. However, Zhang Lexuan's attention was currently focused on He Caitou's heartfelt confession, and she had no time to pay attention to him.

Seemingly sensing that Huo Yuhao wanted to attract Zhang Lexuan's attention but dared not make any big moves, the veiled female student smiled gently. Even through the veil, Huo Yuhao could still sense that she seemed to be smiling very happily.

The people on the stage did not notice Huo Yuhao's little actions, but their eyes were all on He Caitou, who was wearing a soul-guided propulsion device and hovering in front of Xiao Xiao.

"My name is He Caitou. A really silly name."

"Although I look older than my age, I am indeed only nineteen years old this year."

He Caitou glanced cautiously in Xiao Xiao's direction, but Xiao Xiao didn't dare to look at him. She kept her head down, her two slender hands clasped together in front of her.

What to do? What to do? This is so embarrassing! Xiao Xiao's mind was completely blank at this moment.

We shouldn't agree right now, right? Isn't this a bit too hasty? Can we wait a little longer? I need to mentally prepare myself. Big guy, please be more tactful when you speak!

"Ahem, one minute is up," Beibei reminded He Caitou from a distance.

"Oh, oh." He Caitou, somewhat embarrassed, restarted the soul-guided thruster and retreated in the direction he came from.

Zhang Lexuan smiled and said, "Caitou, so you've chosen Xiao Xiao, right?"

"Mmm, mmm." He Caitou nodded repeatedly. Then he turned around and fled back to his water lily leaf.

"Xiao Xiao," Han Ruoruo called softly.

"Huh?" Xiao Xiao finally looked up, her fair face now the color of a tomato.

"Come back to reality, come back to reality! You've been completely bewitched by that big, clumsy, dark-skinned guy."

Xiao Xiao's eyes lit up when she was touched by her, but she still looked longingly in the direction where He Caitou had left.

"What did you say, Ruoruo? I...I...I haven't really thought about it yet!"

Xiao Xiao blushed as she tried to explain, but her fair face was already burning red.

"You little rascal, I never expected you to have this kind of taste."

"Oh no, I didn't! I'm so embarrassed!"

While the girl was whispering and chatting, the other students were introducing themselves one by one.

Some look pretty good, while others don't look very appealing.

Xu Sanshi is one of the less likable characters.

Perhaps it was Xu Sanshi's sincere emotions that finally touched Jiang Nannan a little. She did not reject him as forcefully as usual, but looked at Xu Sanshi's tearful face and struggled with her feelings.

She found it difficult to face that embarrassing past, so after entering Shrek Academy, she chose to bury herself in her studies, trying her best to balance her studies and part-time jobs. When she won the championship and received a generous reward, Jiang Nannan breathed a sigh of relief.

She felt that she could finally be a decent person, that she could rely on her own efforts to get what she wanted, to strive for a better life, and that she could finally turn her head back and examine that past.

This is the confidence that the academy's reward gave Jiang Nannan. Only those with a heart full of love are qualified to love others, because even if they cannot obtain what they desire, they still have the ability to retreat and hold fast to their own side.

Jiang Nannan only had the courage to turn around and look at the boy who, though perhaps just a "spur-of-the-moment" visit, had always stayed by her side and never left, now that she could support herself and her mother through her own efforts without relying on others.

Jiang Nannan was well aware of Xu Sanshi's persistence and dedication over the years, and she also understood that, in principle, the blame for that incident could not be placed on him. However, she still dared not respond to this intense affection tinged with apology.

Because her world couldn't have just one person, at that time she couldn't bear the consequences if Xu Sanshi suddenly left, even though Jiang Nannan knew very well that Xu Sanshi wouldn't do that, it still wouldn't work.

She couldn't afford such a risk, and neither could her mother.

But as Jiang Nannan walked step by step into the inner courtyard, her world was no longer thin and empty. At this moment, Jiang Nannan finally had the confidence to face the possibility that Xu Sanshi might suddenly change his mind. And it was precisely because of this that Jiang Nannan's reply finally softened.

Seeing Xu Sanshi with tears streaming down his face, Jiang Nannan's delicate body trembled slightly. No amount of words could compare to the shock she felt from the tears Xu Sanshi shed in front of everyone.

At this moment, more than a minute has passed since Xu Sanshi left his original position, but no one has urged him to hurry up.

Jiang Nannan bit her lower lip lightly, looked at Xu Sanshi who was already in tears, and finally spoke softly.

"It's your turn to choose me, not the other way around, you idiot."
