Douluo Jueshi: Who let him join Shrek!

Chapter 687 What a pity, he's already a husband at such a young age!
Old Mu turned around in surprise to look at the two girls standing beside him. The two girls looked to be only eighteen or nineteen years old. One had long hair and was quiet and gentle; the other had her hair tied in a single ponytail and had a free and easy demeanor.

At this age, he should have just entered the inner academy after passing the inner academy's entrance exam in the sixth grade of the outer academy.

"Hello, how can I help you?"

Although he has already revealed his identity, currently only the elders of the Sea God Pavilion in the academy, as well as the Shrek team and Tang Sect team who went to participate in the competition, know his identity.

Apart from them, no one in the inner courtyard knew his identity, and hardly anyone recognized him.

"Senior, what's your name? My best friend wants to know your name."

The girl with the single ponytail said casually.

"Qingqing, what's wrong with you!"

Hearing this, the girl next to her blushed deeply and quickly grabbed the arm of the girl with the single ponytail, lowering her head as if she wanted to disappear into a crack in the ground.

"Why are you so shy? It's just asking for a name. Let me tell you, when it comes to men, especially good-looking and outstanding men, if you take a fancy to one, you have to make your move first!"
If you don't take the initiative now, are you going to wait until the Sea God's Fate event to compete with dozens or even hundreds of girls? How could you possibly win with that personality!

The girl with the single ponytail, Qingqing, earnestly advised the quiet girl, making the quiet girl so embarrassed that she stomped her feet and wanted to pull the other girl away quickly.

But Qingqing, the girl with the single ponytail, stood firmly in place. Her best friend had finally taken a liking to a boy and mustered up the courage to come with her to ask him his name. She couldn't let her friend's courage lead to a lifetime of introversion. There had to be a result!
"Forehead"

Jiang Ming glanced at the two girls, then at Old Mu, a slight smile playing on his lips.

But remembering that Mr. Mu was his teacher, and that making fun of his teacher was inappropriate, he held back.

Well, he could understand the two girls' behavior.

Even after Mu Lao reverted to his twenty-year-old body, he was still very handsome!

Especially since Old Mu himself is over two hundred years old, although he looks young, he has an incredibly calm and composed demeanor.

If I had to describe this feeling, it would be like a young, handsome man with a mature aura!

He has the handsomeness of a young heartthrob and the maturity of a seasoned veteran.

This is still very appealing.

But the teacher is over two hundred years old, surely he wouldn't be so old as to date a young girl?

Old Mu glanced at Jiang Ming, who was smirking, and looked at the two girls with a hint of helplessness.

"old."

Old Mu instinctively wanted to refer to himself as "this old man," but this would undoubtedly frighten the two girls.

"My name is Mu Long, and I already have a wife."

That's absolutely true; he had a wife two hundred years ago.

Although he had pursued Ye Xishui before, she ultimately chose Long Xiaoyao and later became an evil soul master, so he naturally gave up and found another girl to fall in love with and marry.

However, that girl's talent wasn't as high as Ye Xishui's, so she couldn't become a Limit Douluo, and naturally, she wouldn't be able to live to this day.

"Huh? You have a wife?!"

The girl with the single ponytail, Qingqing, stared wide-eyed and looked Old Mu up and down.

They're about the same age as them, and those two don't even have boyfriends yet, but he already has a wife?
Old Mu nodded somewhat helplessly.

Qingqing sighed softly and turned to look at her best friend.

"See? I told you, good-looking and outstanding men are in high demand. It's such a pity that he's already a husband at such a young age."

Elder Mu: "."

To be honest, he has received many titles in his life, such as the Lord of the Sea God Pavilion, the nemesis of evil soul masters, and the Dragon God Douluo, but the title of "husband" is a first for him, and it feels strange.

"Pfft!"

Jiang Ming couldn't hold it in any longer and burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at, you brat! You act like you're the only one who's laughing!"

Old Mu glared fiercely at Jiang Ming and said irritably.

Although Jiang Ming and Zhang Lexuan did not hold a formal wedding, their relationship was already very close, and they were just waiting for the formality to be fulfilled.

"Ahem, yes, yes, me too. I'm sorry, ladies."

Jiang Ming coughed lightly and immediately agreed, following Elder Mu's suggestion.

He already has enough suitors; he can't afford to attract any more.

Upon hearing Jiang Ming's words, the quiet girl was fine, but the girl with the single ponytail, Qingqing, was somewhat disappointed.

Clearly, she came over to ask Old Mu's name partly to encourage her best friend, and partly to subtly probe Jiang Ming who was standing next to her.

Unfortunately, both were defeated.

My best friend's crush is already married, and the man I've fallen for is also already married.

That's just too unlucky.

That makes sense; birds of a feather flock together.

"Then we won't bother you any longer, we'll be going now."

After realizing they had no chance, the two women said goodbye and left.

Even after sitting down on the other side, the two girls couldn't help but look towards Jiang Ming.

They had heard that there were more men than women in the inner courtyard, and that they would be able to find someone they liked.

But now it seems the girls in the inner courtyard aren't pushovers either! They all acted so quickly!
Just as she entered the inner courtyard, she met two outstanding young men who were just beginning to experience romantic feelings. These two handsome young men were already married!
It’s really a deteriorating world and people’s hearts are not as old as they used to be!
However, the two sisters were not discouraged. With so many outstanding male students in the inner academy, there were plenty of opportunities.

After finishing their meal, the two sisters returned to their dormitory in the inner courtyard. After turning off the lights, the quiet girl suddenly said, "Hey, Qingqing, didn't you think that boy we met in the cafeteria today looked familiar?"

Qingqing turned to look at the quiet girl and frowned.

"Which one? The guy you've got your eye on? He doesn't look familiar, I don't remember him."

The quiet girl shook her head and said, "It's not him, it's the one you've got your eye on. I feel like I've seen him somewhere before, but I just can't remember."

Qingqing blinked, thought carefully for a moment, and murmured softly, "Now that you mention it, I think I vaguely remember seeing him somewhere."

"what!"

Suddenly, the quiet girl let out a scream. Qingqing was so startled that she nearly fell off the bed.

"What are you doing!"

"Qingqing! I remember now, I remember now! I remember where I've seen him before!"

The quiet girl jumped right out of bed, completely out of character for her quiet demeanor.

In the darkness, her face was flushed, she was extremely excited and agitated!
"what?"

Qingqing couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"I remembered, why are you reacting so strongly? You scared me!"

The quiet girl was gesturing wildly, her hair disheveled, as if she were performing a shamanistic dance.

"No, it's him, it's him, it's Jiang Ming! It's Jiang Ming! It's that Jiang Ming who led the academy to a crushing victory in the last All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament! It's that Jiang Ming who was only twenty-five years old and was already a Title Douluo!"

The quiet girl shouted at the top of her lungs in almost twenty years of life, her emotions were at their peak!
What kind of existence is Jiang Ming?
Putting everything else aside, at least within Shrek Academy, he is a true legendary figure!
The inner court students don't know much about Jiang Ming's deeds, after all, Jiang Ming's level is too high now, and he won't easily reveal many things.

But Jiang Ming's deeds in the outer and inner courtyards of the academy alone were enough to make all the Shrek Academy students admire him immensely!
Back when they were in the outer academy, Teacher Zhou Yi often told them about Jiang Ming's exploits: he broke through the outer academy in one year and was promoted directly to the inner academy in two years. There were even outer academy students who had been beaten by Jiang Ming when he challenged the entire outer academy, and now they were teachers in the outer academy.

They felt extremely ashamed when they were defeated by Jiang Ming.

Those who got into Shrek Academy were all geniuses among their peers. It was truly shameful that a second-year student so much younger than them got picked. They couldn't even hold their heads up in class at the time.

But now, times have changed, and that embarrassing experience has now become something they boast about to the new students from the School of Foreign Languages!
I once fought against that freak Jiang Ming!
A narrow defeat!

What a close defeat!
Although he was ruthlessly crushed by Jiang Ming at the beginning, with a little embellishment, a bit of strengthening his character, and a little exaggeration, wouldn't that be a wonderful story?

Especially after the news of Jiang Ming's successful breakthrough to Title Douluo in the inner courtyard spread, those teachers who had been beaten by Jiang Ming felt a sense of pride.

"Jiang... Jiang Ming? He's Jiang Ming?!"

Qingqing's eyes widened immediately, and she said with an incredulous expression.

Although she has a carefree personality and is a bit slow-witted, even if she is slow-witted, there's no way she wouldn't recognize the name Jiang Ming!

"That was close! That was really close! I heard that many senior girls in the inner courtyard have pursued Senior Jiang Ming, but they were all suppressed by the senior sister!"

The quiet girl patted her slightly trembling chest, still feeling a bit scared.

When Jiang Ming participated in the Sea God's Fate event, many students from the outer academy went to the Sea God Lake to watch. The great battle there terrified them, who were still weak at the time.

Zhang Lexuan, with her Title Douluo cultivation, forcefully suppressed two Soul Douluo-level senior students, including one with a 100,000-year Soul Ring!

Those two little Karami have only just broken through to the Soul King level. If they dare to compete with Senior Sister for a man, wouldn't they be slapped to death?

Dangerous!

Too dangerous!

"Senior Sister probably only noticed the two of us, right?"

Qingqing scratched her head and said somewhat uncertainly.

She heard that Zhang Lexuan, the senior disciple of the inner courtyard, had a very gentle personality.

"Well, tell me, think about it, if someone tried to steal your man, what would you do?"

"That's what the quiet girl said."

Qingqing's eyes widened, and she subconsciously said, "Then I'm definitely going to beat that shameless guy to death!"

The quiet girl spread her hands, giving him a look that said, "Look at me."

"Then, should we go apologize to our senior sister?"

Qingqing realized what was happening and immediately panicked.

What level is the senior sister? What level is she? To put it bluntly, if the senior sister just touched her lightly, she would be gone!

"It can't be that bad, Qingqing. You didn't mean to steal Senior Sister's man, and you didn't even exchange more than a few words with her. It's okay."

The quiet girl comforted her.

"But I'm a little curious, who is that handsome guy named Mu Long who can sit at the same table with Senior Jiang Ming for dinner?"

She narrowed her eyes slightly, planning to ask some senior students in the inner academy for information tomorrow.

Meanwhile, on Poseidon Island, in Jiang Ming and Zhang Lexuan's little house.

Zhang Lexuan has emerged from seclusion, or rather, she's not exactly out of seclusion, since she's just consolidating the gains from her trip to Mingdu.

Zhang Lexuan gained a lot from this trip to Mingdu.

First, the Moon Goddess bestowed her inheritance, making her the successor of the Moon Goddess's divine power. Then, the Moon Goddess also bestowed a divine power, adding the ultimate light attribute to her Moon Martial Soul. This was a tremendous boost to Zhang Lexuan's strength.

Moreover, she had already successfully passed the Moon Goddess's first test when she was in Qiankun Asking Love Valley, and she already possessed the Moon Goddess's affinity. In addition, the lifespan of her soul rings had also increased.

Although it wasn't much, it still turned Zhang Lexuan's two hundred-year soul rings into thousand-year soul rings!
Zhang Lexuan's current Soul Ring configuration has become four purple, three black, and two red!

Furthermore, as the Moon Goddess's affinity increased, Zhang Lexuan's temperament also became more and more...
How should I put it? It has a mysterious feel to it.

"At this rate, I should be able to break through to level 95 in the next few days. I used to be ahead of you in cultivation, but I didn't expect you to catch up now."

In the bedroom on the second floor, Zhang Lexuan nestled in Jiang Ming's arms, the soul-guided lamp on the table emitting a warm glow, the whole scene was very cozy.

Zhang Lexuan was five years older than Jiang Ming, and she was also an extremely talented genius. So even though Jiang Ming's cultivation had increased rapidly over the years, Zhang Lexuan's cultivation was always higher than his.

However, Zhang Lexuan is still at level 94, while Jiang Ming has surpassed that and become a level 95 Super Douluo!
This made Zhang Lexuan feel a little bit of urgency.

Jiang Ming placed his hand on Zhang Lexuan's waist, gently stroking his chin through her hair, a warm smile on his face.

"Then, Sister Lexuan, should I wait for you?"

Zhang Lexuan shook her head and said, "I was just expressing my feelings. What are you waiting for me to do? You just focus on your cultivation. I'll catch up soon."

After saying that, Zhang Lexuan turned around, straddled Jiang Ming's waist, wrapped her long arms around his neck, and whispered, "Jiang Ming, after I break through to Super Douluo in the next few days, let's go back to Qingshui City to see Uncle Nie and Aunt Lan. I miss them."

Zhang Lexuan's family background is quite special. She was born into a noble family, but her family was wiped out when she was young. She was taken to Shrek Academy by Elder Mu, so she lacked family affection.

Since she went to Qingshui City, Lao Nie and Aunt Lan have treated her like their own daughter, and she cherishes this relationship.

Jiang Ming nodded and said, "Of course, I've been planning this for a while. We'll set off once your cultivation level breaks through to level 95."
