Legend of the Dragon King: I really didn't mean to provoke them!

Tang Wulin, who was standing to the side, was somewhat tempted, but after pondering for a while, he shook his head.

"Xie Xie, I'd better not go. I plan to use these three days for cultivation. I also plan to do some... well, some forging work, the sooner the better."

Gu Yue also said, "I won't go either; I'll meditate."

Xie Xie clicked his tongue and said helplessly, "Fine, fine, if you guys don't go, I won't go either. Eating alone is no fun at all."

"If Brother Xie isn't going, then I won't go either," Wang Jinxi said upon seeing this.

Feeling the gazes of the four people, Zhang Yangzi raised his hands and said, "Don't look at me. I don't even know where the braised beef stew is. I can't go there even if I wanted to."

"So, I'm not going either. I'll cultivate with Brother Xie."

Upon hearing the mention of cultivation, Tang Wulin and the other three immediately turned their gazes intently to Xie Xie.

Xie Xie: "..."

"Does it have to be in my room?"

"What do you think?!" ×4

"By the way, have you chosen your second career yet?" Tang Wulin suddenly asked.

"I think it's better if our second professions are different, so that we can complement each other when we're building our battle armor in the future."

Wang Jinxi thought for a moment, then looked at Xie Xie, "Brother Xie, what do you choose?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yangzi and Gu Yue also looked over curiously.

Xie Xie spread his hands and said, "I come from a family of mecha makers, and I will definitely take over the family business in the future, so I will definitely choose mecha manufacturing."

"Then I'll choose mecha manufacturing too."

Wang Jinxi replied without hesitation, "Anyway, I'm sticking with you, Brother Xie. Do you think I have that talent?"

Zhang Yangzi scratched his head. "To be honest, I haven't thought about it yet."

"Should I also choose mecha manufacturing?"

"You two better watch yourselves!" Xie Xie couldn't help but say.

Gu Yue finally spoke, "I might study mecha repair."

"Mech repair?"

Xie Xie rested his fingers on his chin and pondered, "To be honest, Gu Yue, with your exceptional mental strength and precise control over all elements, I think mecha design would be more suitable."

Gu Yue nodded and said, "I will consider it carefully. There's no rush now."

After these past few months of getting to know each other, the five of them now have a very simple relationship: all of them have a one-sided crush on Xie Xie.

Xie Xie × Zhang Yangzi & Wang Jinxi: Close Friends

Xie Xie x Gu Yue: A bickering couple

Xie Xie x Tang Wulin: Childhood Sweethearts

When Xu Xiaoyan joins, another childhood sweetheart will be added to the network of relationships.

After simply having dinner at Wu Changkong's place, Xie Xie returned to his dormitory to find Tang Wulin and the other three already waiting for him.

Xie Xie was used to this.

He also specially made two extra keys, giving one to Tang Wulin and the other to Gu Yue.

After all, there was one time when he was so tired from practicing all day that he went back to his dorm and fell asleep immediately without opening the door for the others.

Tang Wulin climbed in through the window.

Gu Yue broke down the door and entered.

Wang Jinxi smashed through the wall and entered.

Of the five people, Zhang Yangzi, who was the most boisterous besides Xie Xie, was actually the most normal person, and he was the only one waiting at the door.

The rumbling sound woke Xie Xie up.

The moment Xie Xie opened his eyes, he felt as if the sky had fallen.

The door was broken, the window was shattered, and the wall was cracked.

Looking at the guilty looks in Tang Wulin's, Gu Yue's, and Wang Jinxi's eyes, Xie Xie almost couldn't catch his breath.

After being woken up by having his philtrum pinched, Xie Xie grabbed his blanket and went to seek refuge with Wu Changkong.

To avoid these talented individuals, Xie Xie stayed in Wu Changkong's dormitory for a whole week before leaving.

Of course, he didn't leave voluntarily. Wu Changkong, who was forced to give up half of the bed and had to endure him stealing her blanket every night, couldn't take it anymore and threw him out, blanket and all.

Chapter 70 The Boy's Blushing Surpasses Everything (Xie Xie: That's fucking ripe!)

The five of them sat cross-legged and meditated all night.

As dawn broke and the soft morning light streamed through the windows, everyone finished their breathing exercises, got up, and said their goodbyes.

Xie Xie yawned widely.

A few tears welled up in his eyes as he lazily stretched his aching limbs, a soft cracking sound coming from between his bones.

After stretching his limbs, Xie Xie looked up and saw that Tang Wulin was still standing in the same spot, not leaving with the others, with a hint of unease in his eyes.

"What's wrong, Lao Tang?" Xie

Xie jumped off the bed and walked forward with light steps.

He was wearing a plain white undershirt, and perhaps because he had slept soundly during his meditation last night, the top two buttons were loosely undone, revealing his delicate collarbone.

A crystal necklace hung down her chest, refracting delicate shimmering light under the morning sun.

A gentle breeze stirred the wisps of hair on his forehead, and the boy's eyes still held the languor of someone who had just woken up. He was completely unaware that Tang Wulin's gaze was fixed on the necklace around his neck.

Tang Wulin's fingertips involuntarily curled up slightly.

His gaze lingered on the dazzling crystal for a moment before he looked up at Xie Xie, his throat bobbing slightly.

"...I have something for you."

Xie Xie was taken aback by what he heard, tilted his head and blinked: "What is it?"

Tang Wulin pursed his lips, and after Xie Xie urged him several times, he finally slowly stretched out his hand that was hidden behind his back.

A small, exquisite earring lay quietly in his palm.

The earrings are made entirely of refined metal, curled into the shape of a miniature golden dragon, with a few delicate silver tassels adorning its tail, which gleam with a warm golden light in the morning light.

Xie Xie leaned closer for a look, and his eyes lit up instantly. "Hey, Lao Tang, I didn't know you had this skill!"

He carefully reached out and took it. It was slightly cool to the touch, yet carried a faint warmth, trembling gently as if it were alive.

He could even faintly sense that the earring resonated slightly with his martial soul.

Xie Xie just lowered his head to take a closer look.

Suddenly, the brooch that was paired with Tang Wulin's shirt inside his robe warmed slightly. At the same time, the dragon eye of the golden dragon tassel earring in Xie Xie's hand also lit up with a very faint golden light.

Tang Wulin's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously pressed his hand to his chest.

Xie Xie noticed something was wrong and looked up in confusion: "Hmm? What's wrong?"

"N-nothing."

Tang Wulin quickly withdrew his hand, a light blush creeping onto his cheeks, and his eyes darted away, not daring to look Xie Xie in the eye.

"This was made by me using my blood essence and special metals. With this, there's no need for Gu Yue to leave a special mark. As long as we get close, we will be able to sense it."

After saying that, Tang Wulin's ears turned even redder, and he added softly, "Don't... don't lose it, making one is very difficult..."

If Xie Xie were to raise his head now, he would be able to notice Tang Wulin's strange state.

But Xie Xie was completely captivated by the golden dragon tassel earring, his attention entirely focused on it, fiddling with how to wear it.

Once Tang Wulin had calmed down and turned his attention back to the present, Xie Xie had already put the earring on his left ear.

"How about it? Don't you two look perfect together? You make me look especially handsome?"

Xie Xie stood against the soft light streaming in through the window, his body enveloped in a faint warm glow. His eyebrows curved into a smile, which was unrestrained and bright, exuding youthful vigor.

The golden dragon tassel earring on his left ear swayed gently as he turned his head.

The miniature golden dragon's scales shimmered with tiny golden light in the morning glow, and its delicate silver tassels swayed gently in the breeze, each movement touching Tang Wulin's heart.

Tang Wulin was instantly stunned.

His already pale pink cheeks froze, his eyes staring straight at Xie Xie, his breathing unconsciously becoming softer, and he stood frozen in place, unable to move.

In no time, a burning blush spread up her neck and all the way to the top of her head.

"Damn it, Lao Tang, what's wrong with you, Lao Tang?"

Xie Xie was immediately startled. Looking at the ripe Tang Wulin in front of him, he flung open the door and shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Gu Yue!"

"Come quick and help! Tang Wulin's cooked through!!"

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and Xie Xie and his group arrived at the foot of the Spirit Transmission Tower early.

Having heard how dangerous the Ascension Platform was during the riots, Tang Wulin specially made a Thousand-Refined Cloud Titanium Vest for everyone the night before they set off.

Although the protective effect is limited, it is better than nothing.

In principle, the Ascension Platform does not offer viewing seats during this period, but at this moment, the principle is in the hands of the Xie family.

Therefore, teachers at Donghai Academy are allowed to make an exception and watch their students perform inside.

"The interior of the Spirit Ascension Platform is extremely dangerous during the riots. You have all entered the Spirit Ascension Platform many times and are basically used to the situation inside, so I won't say anything more."

"Just remember, if you don't feel good, get off the battlefield immediately."

The staff member gave a few brief instructions.

The instrument for entering the Ascension Platform slid open automatically, waiting for the group to lie down inside.

Seeing that everything was ready, Wu Changkong gave a final instruction: "Remember, during the riot period at the Spirit Ascension Platform, everyone except yourselves is an enemy, and you only have one thing to do—"

"Survive."

"Those who fail the final exam will be punished."

Hearing Wu Changkong's words, Xie Xie suddenly blurted out, "Teacher Wu, what's the punishment?"

Wu Changkong glanced at him coldly, "Cancel the vacation."

Xie Xie was struck dumb.

If he continues training every day like before during winter break, he really will die, he really will die!!

"No, Teacher Waa!"

Xie Xie immediately wanted to rush over and hug Wu Changkong's leg.

"Beautiful and kind-hearted dance teacher, you can't do this! How can you bear to see your handsome and charming student lose... Oh my god!"

Before Xie Xie could finish speaking, Wu Changkong kicked him into the machine.

Looking at Xie Xie's appearance just now, Wu Changkong inexplicably thought of the seven days when his bed and blanket were taken away.

so-called—

A moment of patience brings unease, a step back only fuels anger.

So Wu Changkong chose to kick the person into the machine.

Xie Xie didn't have time to say anything more before the metal cabinet slowly closed under the control of the staff, and the light gradually disappeared.

My consciousness was briefly clouded, and when I regained it, I was surrounded by a vast forest.

The biggest difference from before is that this time, all five of them appeared together in the Ascension Platform. Tang Wulin and the other three entered in normal postures, except for Xie Xie, who landed face down.

Inside the observation room, Long Hengxu, who was still accompanying them, looked at the five people on the big screen and was extremely satisfied.

Xie Xie and his five teammates form a very mature team.
