Douluo: Man in the Endless World, Auspicious Beast of the Far North

Chapter 44 Ling Luochen's Heart

Girls usually take a longer time to bathe, but Ling Luochen was different. Soon she opened the bathroom door and walked out.

Although she is only fourteen or fifteen years old, Ling Luochen's figure has developed very attractively. Her snow-white short skirt reveals a pair of slender and beautiful legs, and her legs are very straight.

Ling Luochen was wearing a snow-white coat, with black hair hanging down behind his head, a little wet, giving people infinite beauty.

"Sister Luochen is so pretty." Yunze said with a smile.

Ling Luochen's pretty face flushed slightly, and she didn't say anything. She just walked to his side and said, "I'm fine."

"Let's go!" Yunze said, then reached out and held Ling Luochen's little hand. This time, Ling Luochen didn't react at all and let Yunze pull him out of his courtyard.

At this time, many people in the Ling Mansion had already stood up. When they saw that their cold and aloof eldest daughter was actually being pulled out of the mansion by a handsome young man, they were all stunned for a moment.

Is this our eldest daughter?
When did the young lady become so close to a man?

Not to mention the servants like them, even some of the younger generation of the Ling family looked at Yunze as if he were a monster.

On weekdays, Ling Luochen doesn’t even know how to communicate with his cousins, so how could he be willing to be pulled by a little guy?

Then, a hint of jealousy appeared in their eyes.

However, the younger generation of the Ling family were not jealous of Yunze and Ling Luochen's relationship, but were simply jealous of his appearance.

There's no way around it. In Yunze's words, his appearance can be described as completely exaggerated, especially since he's still young, which makes it easy for young girls to feel sympathetic.

Look, many of the maids and young ladies of the Ling family looked at Yunze with shining eyes. Even when the latter left the Ling Mansion, they would follow him to the door and watch the two of them leaving from afar.

"That little brother is so handsome!" A young lady from the Ling family said in a sweet voice, and several maids beside her echoed her.

Ling Qianshuang, who was wearing a nightgown, also walked to the Ling Mansion compound at this time. Seeing a group of girls standing outside the gate, she walked over with some confusion, "Ruoxue, why are so many of you crowded here?"

"Sister Qianshuang, I just saw a very cute little guy! But he seems to have gone out with Sister Luochen." The girl excitedly shouted at her when she heard Ling Qianshuang's words, but soon her face became lonely. "That's right, with Sister Luochen here, I definitely don't have a chance."

Ling Qianshuang narrowed her eyes slightly. She naturally understood who the girl was talking about, but she didn't expect that in just one night, the relationship between Yunze and Ling Luochen became much closer.

Oh, even if you are so aloof, you will eventually fall into the mortal world, right?
"You're right, you really have no chance." Ling Qianshuang felt inexplicably unhappy. She said this coldly and went back to the side yard to have breakfast.

The girl stared blankly outside Ling's house, her lips pouting.

Woohoo~
Although Yunze was aware of the situation in the Ling Mansion, he naturally didn't care.

The same goes for Ling Luochen. Given her state of mind, this kind of thing wouldn't cause her much emotional fluctuation.

"There are so many people!" After arriving on the street, Yunze quickly discovered that even though it was not very late, the street was already very lively.

Ling Luochen beside him explained softly, "In a few days it will be our Xuanbing City's annual festival. Generally speaking, the number of shops and pedestrians on the street will increase during these days, and business will be the best."

"festival?"

"Well, Xuanbing City is actually a city that was built a thousand years ago. It is said that there was a beast tide hundreds of years ago. At that time, it was the ancestors in the city who joined forces to resist the beast tide, and this day has become our traditional festival in Xuanbing City." Ling Luochen said softly.

Beast Tide?
Yunze fell silent.

Seeing Yunze didn't say anything, Ling Luochen thought that he was the one who said that he was not interested. He thought to himself, Yunze is, after all, the young master of a mysterious force, and he probably doesn't have any interest in the history of such a local city.

Suddenly, Ling Luochen's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but pull Yunze's hand and walk towards a place. Yunze looked over and found that it was a stall selling candy figures. Standing next to the stall were some children around his age.

Ah this.

Glancing at Ling Luochen, Yunze noticed a smile on the latter's face. After thinking about it, he finally let Ling Luochen pull him over.

The owner of the stall was an old lady who looked to be in her sixties or seventies. Her hair had turned gray and she had a kind smile on her face. Although she had many wrinkles, her youthful beauty could still be vaguely seen.

Seeing Ling Luochen and Yunze coming over, she smiled at them and said, "What a beautiful pair of siblings. Come and see if there are any styles you like. These are all made by grandma herself. They are so sweet."

Ling Luochen was indeed a little embarrassed and said, "Grandma, I don't know if you still remember me. I am Luochen."

"Luochen?" The old lady thought for a moment, then looked at Ling Luochen in surprise, "Are you the little girl from the Ling family?"

"Yeah." Ling Luochen nodded slightly.

"It's you. Haha, you've grown up so much now. I still remember that when you were a child, you often came to me with your brother." The old lady said with a smile.

There was a hint of loneliness in Ling Luochen's eyes.

The old lady was very perceptive and could tell at once that Ling Luochen was in a bad mood. She smiled silently and handed two candy figures to Ling Luochen and Yunze, "Here, consider it a treat from grandma."

"Ah, there's no need to be like this." Ling Luochen came back to his senses and waved his hands repeatedly.

"It's okay, just two sugar figures." As the old lady said this, she stuffed the sugar figures directly into the hands of Ling Luochen and Yunze.

Ling Luochen finally accepted it. She just looked at the sugar figure in her hand, feeling reluctant to part with it.

Yunze didn't feel any burden. He stuck out his tongue and licked it. It tasted sweet, just as he had imagined.

"When I was little, this grandma would come here to sell candy figures. My brother and I loved sweet things, so we would often come here to buy a couple of candy figures and eat them while laughing. Sometimes, after finishing them, we would get home and not be able to eat. Then my dad would scold us for a long time."

Ling Luochen's voice sounded softly, and a hint of longing appeared in his eyes.

"I haven't bought sugar figures here since he left. Today is the first time." Having said that, Ling Luochen turned his head to look at Yunze, with a bright smile on his lips.

"Thank you, Ozawa."

Yunze was silent for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a moment, he also looked at Ling Luochen and chuckled, "Yeah."

"Sister Luochen."

"what happened?"

"Do you think this will be the last time we come here to buy sugar figures?" Yunze said softly, looking at the bustling street ahead.

Ling Luochen was stunned for a moment, then shook his head gently, "No."

"Is that so?" Yunze said this, and the complex expression in his eyes gradually dissipated. He tightened his hands and raised a smile from the heart, "Sister Luochen, I want to eat something delicious!"

"Okay, I'll take you there." Ling Luochen nodded with a smile, and soon the two of them rushed into the crowd on the street.
