Douluo Dragon King: I, the wielder of the Holy Sword, will vanquish all evil.

Chapter 149 Daily life
Inside a dessert shop in Shrek City.

Gu Yue gracefully picked up the glass, the milkshake inside gleaming softly under the light. She took a small sip.

"The taste is not bad," she commented casually, her tone as calm as ever.

Su Qiu sat across from him, bored, resting her chin on her hand, her eyes somewhat vacant.

Next to her was Na'er, who was eating like crazy, even desserts!

Na'er was completely immersed in the world of eating. The plates in front of her, filled with cakes, puddings, and macarons, were emptied one after another, as if they were bottomless pits that could never be filled.

"Na'er, eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you," Su Qiu couldn't help but remind her.

Na'er gave a mumbled "hmm," but her hands didn't slow down at all. There was still a bit of cream on the corner of her mouth, making her look both cute and a little disheveled.

After the final exams, no one was eliminated due to Su Qiu's influence.

Today is the first day of the holiday. Su Qiu was dragged out shopping by Gu Yue, and Na'er naturally followed along.

"By the way," Su Qiu seemed to have thought of something, turned to look at Gu Yue, and asked, "you joined the Tang Sect, right?"

"What do you want to ask?" Gu Yue looked over in confusion.

"How are things going for you in the Tang Sect?"

Gu Yue lowered her eyes slightly, her tone calm and even: "It's not so much 'mixing things up,' it's just following the rules step by step."

She looked up at Su Qiu, a sharp glint flashing in her eyes. "The Tang Clan has a deep foundation. Although its rules are strict, I can still gain a foothold with my abilities."

"Do you know about the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire?" Su Qiu asked knowingly.

Gu Yue nodded: "The secret realm is now under the control of the Tang Sect."

Su Qiu still had some interest in the immortal herb, but since he wasn't using it himself, it wouldn't be of much use to him.

But Makino desperately needs it.

With the help of the immortal herb, Muye may be able to make up for the shortcomings he suffered in his early years and go even further.

"Could you keep an eye out for news about the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well for me? I can."

Before Su Qiu could finish speaking, Gu Yue interrupted, "You want the immortal herb? I'll help you."

Her tone remained calm as always, as if she were talking about something trivial.

Su Qiu felt a strange warmth in her heart.

"Ah."

The atmosphere suddenly became subtle.

This made Na'er, who was eating and drinking heartily, stop. She smacked her lips and suddenly realized that the food in her mouth didn't taste good anymore.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze towards Gu Yue growing increasingly dangerous as she considered how to deliver a ruthless blow.

Just then, a girl with blue twin tails walked over.

It's Xu Xiaoyan.

She carried a small paper bag, her blue pigtails swaying gently behind her, and her eyes swept over the three of them: "Oh, what a coincidence."

This is a lie.

After learning that Su Qiu had been captured by Gu Yue, Xu Xiaoyan, who knew Gu Yue's habits well, specially searched all the dessert shops in the vicinity.

"Why are you here?" Su Qiu asked instinctively.

"Just passing by." Xu Xiaoyan blinked, looking completely innocent. "I just happened to see you guys, so I came over to say hello."

Na'er narrowed her eyes and mercilessly exposed her: "You were spying on us at the door for ages."

Xu Xiaoyan: "."

She coughed lightly, trying to change the subject: "You're on holiday now, when are you going back to Donghai City? Let's go together."

"The East China Sea," Su Qiu sighed, "I probably won't be going back."

Xu Xiaoyan was taken aback and subconsciously asked, "Why?"

"Because my family moved to Shrek City."

My uncle was transferred to the headquarters of the Spirit Pagoda.

Mu Chen also took a position at Shrek Academy's association.

For Su Qiu, home was wherever her uncle and Mu Chen were. Xu Xiaoyan paused for a moment, then pulled out her soul-guided communicator without hesitation: "Hey, brother."

"My plans have changed; I won't be going back for the holiday."

"Why? There's no why! Okay, I'm hanging up."

Xu Xiaoyan hung up the communicator swiftly and decisively, as if the call had simply been an invitation to tell the other party "what to eat tonight".

Su Qiu looked at him strangely: "You're not going back already?"

Xu Xiaoyan shoved the communicator into her bag and said matter-of-factly, "If you're not going back, why should I go back? It's so boring to be alone."

She blinked and said in a light tone, "Besides, Shrek City is so big, I haven't had enough of exploring it yet."

Na'er observed all of this, but instead of being possessive of her food, she was somewhat puzzled.

I was puzzled.

"Why does Xu Xiaoyan seem different from before?"

“She never dared to talk to Su Qiu when I was around before.”

She carefully examined Xu Xiaoyan.

With her blue twin ponytails, signature short skirt, and smiling, crescent-shaped eyes, she seems to look no different from before.

But that natural, mature energy was particularly jarring to Na'er.

Damn.

Na'er felt increasingly uneasy. It seemed that in addition to Gu Yue, she also needed to add Xu Xiaoyan to her list of targets for assassination.

"What are you doing here?" Another familiar figure approached.

Are there any experts?

Ye Xinglan walked over, ignoring the three girls, and stared straight at Su Qiu: "Class monitor, I've been looking for you for ages. What are your plans for the holiday? Want to practice swordsmanship together?"

She got straight to the point.

Unlike Gu Yuena'er and Xu Xiaoyan, Ye Xinglan is purely a power-hungry player.

In an instant, four pairs of eyes were fixed on Su Qiu.

Not right.

Su Qiu narrowed her eyes slightly. The ahoge (cowlick) on her head stood up straight.

This is not a good sign.
His intuition was screaming, a chill ran down his spine, as if he were being watched by four indescribable beings.

"Haha, practicing swordsmanship? Maybe next time, definitely next time." Su Qiu replied perfunctorily, "It's just the start of the holiday today, so it's good to rest and relax."

As he spoke, he subtly shrank back in his chair, trying to "shrink" himself into a less conspicuous target.

Ye Xinglan frowned. She would have scoffed at anyone else who said that.

But Su Qiu.

She thought about it carefully, and finally nodded thoughtfully: "That's true."

In her opinion, Su Qiu was definitely right about becoming stronger: "Can you take me with you?"

She glanced at the desserts on the table, then looked at Su Qiu, and said earnestly, "You said you wanted to rest well today, so I'll rest too. Anyway, I can learn something from watching you while you rest."

Su Qiu: "?"

Xu Xiaoyan asked with a smile, "Ye Xinglan, didn't you hate wasting time the most? How come you've learned to slack off now?"

Ye Xinglan remained unfazed: "This isn't slacking off, it's observation."

She said seriously, "Observing the squad leader's state in a non-combat state helps me better understand his combat rhythm."

Gu Yue had already seen through everything. She gently put down her cup and said calmly, "You're just making excuses for yourself."

Ye Xinglan: "."

She paused for a moment, then stubbornly said, "No matter what, I'm staying here today."

Su Qiu looked at the four girls in front of her and felt like her head was about to explode.
