Douluo Continent: The Ruler of Time, Reigning Supreme

Chapter 221 Gu Yuena Takes the Initiative
Yin Chen's smile froze instantly.

He felt a chill run from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head, and his will to survive reached its peak at that moment.

He twitched his lips, looking at the stunningly beautiful girl in front of him with an utterly speechless expression.

"Gu Yue, are you trying to murder your class monitor on the spot?"

"Humph."

Gu Yuena gave a soft hum, her beautiful purple eyes narrowing slightly, like an elegant cat scrutinizing its prey.

"You're quite the womanizer. Be careful your backyard doesn't catch fire. I heard from Luo Luo that you have a close girlfriend in Xingluo City."

"Oh? You're so concerned about my private life?"

Seeing this, Yin Chen simply let loose as well. He crossed his arms, a playful smile on his face, and deliberately provoked.

"Since you're so curious, I'll tell you the truth. That's right, I'm a staunch harem supporter, and my goal is the stars and the sea."

"Shameless."

Gu Yuena blushed slightly, angered by his shameless declaration.

"How can it be toothless?"

Yin Chen opened his mouth with a serious expression, revealing two rows of neat, white teeth.

"Look, I haven't lost a single tooth."

"You...you scoundrel!"

……

Accompanied by their extremely childish bickering, they walked from the tree-lined paths of the academy to the bustling main street of Shrek City.

Along the way, all the students who saw them were stunned.

Countless shocked, bewildered, and incredulous gazes swept back and forth between the two of them.

Is that... that girl arguing with a boy and even stomping her feet in anger really the aloof, elegant, and otherworldly goddess Gu Yue, who is known as the most beautiful girl in Shrek Academy's outer courtyard?

And that guy with the roguish smile, spouting lewd remarks, making the goddess speechless with anger—is that really the same Yin Chen who is usually gentle, sunny, and cheerful, and is widely recognized as the number one male god of the outer academy?

This art style is off.

The two of them, who usually maintained an aloof and divine image, collapsed at this moment, looking exactly like a young couple having a tiff, which made people both laugh and cry.

As one of the most prosperous cities in the central part of Douluo Continent, Shrek City is at its most bustling at dusk.

The streets were bustling with traffic and people.

The aroma of steaming food wafted from the roadside food stalls, mingling with the colorful lights flashing in the windows of the soul tool shops in the distance.

The sounds of vendors hawking their wares, children playing, and the cheerful conversations of the Soul Masters combine to create a vibrant urban symphony.

Immersed in this lively atmosphere, Yin Chen and Gu Yuena's heated bickering gradually came to a halt.

The two were walking in the crowd when they suddenly looked at each other. Seeing each other's cheeks, which were slightly flushed from arguing, they both burst out laughing at the same time.

Neither of them expected that the two of them could bicker like children for more than half an hour over some trivial matter.

But it was precisely because of this exhilarating argument that the slightly gloomy emotions that had accumulated in Gu Yuena's heart because of Zhang Lexuan had long since vanished. Her entire aura became much brighter and more sunny, and even the way she looked at Yin Chen regained its former warmth.

Yin Chen took out the exquisitely crafted invitation issued by the academy from his storage soul tool.

On the back of the invitation was a simple map of the Treasure Pavilion.

Following the map, the two walked through several bustling streets, and soon, a huge building, over twenty meters tall and brightly lit, appeared before them.

This is the Treasure Pavilion.

It is a large shop catering to all Soul Masters, selling all kinds of items related to Soul Masters and Soul Masters.

From a distance, the entire building is four stories high and occupies a vast area. It is made entirely of an unknown golden rock, and under the illumination of countless soul-guiding lamps, it is radiant and magnificent. Its shape is like a huge treasure bowl that is about to overflow, full of extravagant wealth.

Moreover, at the magnificent entrance of Jubaoge, which could accommodate more than a dozen people walking side by side, stood four beautiful young girls, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with slender figures.

They wore matching, rather daring welcoming outfits. The long skirts had high slits that couldn't hide their long, slender legs, while the upper bodies were even more daring, exposing their rounded shoulders. Their amazingly full breasts were tightly wrapped, creating a deep and obvious cleavage.

Her fair skin, set against the backdrop of the golden architecture of the Treasure Pavilion, made her appear even more graceful and alluring, sparking the imagination.

"Ouch—ouch, no, why are you pinching me?"

As Yin Chen was admiring the visually striking architecture and cultural landscape, a sudden, excruciating pain shot through his waist, causing him to gasp and turn to glare at the culprit beside him.

Gu Yuena slowly withdrew her jade-like hand, her beautiful purple eyes narrowing slightly, releasing a dangerous signal:

"What are you looking at? Are you prettier than me?"

"joke!"

Yin Chen blurted it out almost without thinking, his survival instinct kicking in again.

"All of them combined are not as pretty as a single strand of your hair."

This time, his answer was not glib at all, but a heartfelt truth.

Although the girls in front of me were beautiful, their professionally trained and commercialized beauty paled in comparison to Gu Yuena's otherworldly and stunning beauty, like fireflies vying for the moon's brilliance—they were simply not on the same level.

"Hmph, you're smart to know your place."

Upon hearing this answer, Gu Yuena finally smiled with satisfaction.

Her icy expression completely melted, and then, to Yin Chen's astonishment, she made an extremely proactive move.

She stepped forward, took Yin Chen's arm, and dragged him toward the entrance of Jubaoge in an almost assertive manner.

Yin Chen was completely bewildered.

He never expected that Gu Yuena would be so proactive.

The incredibly real and astonishing touch on his arm, the breathtaking softness and warmth, was still clearly transmitted through two layers of clothing, constantly assaulting his nerves and telling him about the formidable assets of this Silver Dragon King.

As soon as the two arrived at the entrance, two welcoming girls came forward and bowed.

After Yin Chen and Gu Yuena presented the special invitation, the girls' attitude immediately became even more respectful. One of them personally led the way, taking them into the even more magnificent interior of the Treasure Pavilion.
