Douluo: The Dragon King - I Planted the Divine Tree in Douluo.

"See you tomorrow"

On the bustling streets of downtown Donghai, Su Mo, who had already hailed a taxi, stood by the car door waving goodbye to Tang Wulin and the others.

"Su Mo, aren't you going back to school?"

Xu Xiaoyan's face showed a hint of surprise as she watched Su Mo part ways with her group.

"I forgot to tell you, Su Mo lives off-campus."

Xie Xie put his hands behind his head and spoke with some lingering interest.

Hearing Xie Xie's explanation, Xu Xiaoyan's expression of confusion deepened, and she asked somewhat blankly, "I remember the academy forbids students from staying overnight outside, right?"

As the only intermediate academy in Donghai City, Donghai Academy has extremely strict management of its students.

Every student, regardless of gender, is required to live in the dormitory upon enrollment.

If Su Mo's talent hadn't been so amazing, Donghai Academy would never have made an exception and allowed Su Mo to live alone outside.

Of course, Donghai College did this not to cultivate students' sense of obedience, but to protect these students.

Because Soul Masters enjoy a very high social status in the Federation, and Donghai Academy is a well-known top-tier academy in Donghai City.

The students recruited are in the early stages of their youth and are easily swayed into relationships, which makes them targets for unscrupulous individuals outside the school.

Back when Donghai College didn't mandate on-campus living, almost every year there would be cases of students becoming parents at the age of twelve.

In order to eliminate this unhealthy trend, Donghai Academy ordered everyone to live on campus.

Xie Xie pouted and said irritably, "How would I know? If you have a problem with that, you can ask the principal!"

Xu Xiaoyan clenched her fists in anger. If she could beat Xie Xie, she really wanted to punch his extremely irritating face.

"I'll be going now!"

Seeing that the driver was already honking his horn to urge them on, Su Mo had no choice but to say goodbye to everyone.

……

As soon as Su Mo got home, a message popped up on his soul communicator.

Invincible Sword God Ye Xinglan: "Log in! Log in!"

Looking at the message sent by Ye Xinglan, Su Mo couldn't help but chuckle.

It's important to know that, thanks to its own efforts, the internet ecosystem of Douluo Continent is now almost as advanced as that of Earth.

The atmosphere on the internet is naturally similar to that on Earth, and people like Ye Xinglan who use their real names to go online are as rare as pandas.

Looking back, my acquaintance with Ye Xinglan was quite an accident.

He was playing Monster Hunter when he accidentally pressed the button to send a distress signal, and Ye Xinglan came in without saying a word, carrying his shrimp-head katana.

Originally, Su Mo had planned to kick Ye Xinglan, that shrimp-headed swordsman, directly, but Ye Xinglan's skills were just too good, so Su Mo was happy to relax.

After the hunt, he had only given Ye Xinglan a polite compliment on her skills, but Ye Xinglan, who was flattered by his praise, took the initiative to add him as a friend, and they have been chatting ever since.

"OK!"

Su Mo quickly edited a message and sent it, then skillfully put on her headphones, turned on her computer, and logged in.

"Tyrannosaurus Warrior, I remember you live in East Sea City, right?"

Just as Su Mo was focused on fighting monsters, Ye Xinglan's soft and sweet voice suddenly came through the voice channel.

Su Mo was taken aback, not understanding why Ye Xinglan would bring this up out of the blue, then teased, "What's wrong? Are you here to meet me in person?"

"Uh-huh!"

On the other end of the voice call, Ye Xinglan responded with a few noncommittal "hmm".

Su Mo was somewhat surprised to hear that Ye Xinglan wanted to meet him in person.

I did consider meeting Ye Xinglan back then, after all, I was really curious about what kind of weirdo would use their real name online.

Unfortunately, Ye Xinglan said that her family was too strict and wouldn't let her go out, so Su Mo gave up the idea of ​​meeting in person.

Now that Ye Xinglan had actually brought this up herself, Su Mo couldn't help but feel curious. "Wait, didn't your family forbid you from going out recklessly?"

"hey-hey!"

Ye Xinglan chuckled a few times, then said mysteriously, "I recently received a mission that allows me to temporarily travel far away."

"And the place we're going to is Tianhai City, which is right next to your Donghai City."

"Tianhai City, what are you doing there? And why would your family allow you to travel so far?"

Su Mo asked with some curiosity.

Although Ye Xinglan never told me where her home was, judging from her usual behavior, her hometown was most likely located in the most prosperous central region of Douluo Continent.

Even if you take a soul-guided train, it would take at least half a day to reach Tianhai City, the closest city in the central region.

Normally, Ye Xinglan's family would be reluctant to let her go out, so it's really baffling that they're now sending her on a long trip.

Su Mo had some knowledge of Tianhai City, but not much.

All I know is that it's the largest city on the entire East Coast, and the annual Tianhai Alliance Grand Tournament is held in Tianhai City.

As for other aspects, I don't know much about them.

"Hehe, you'll see when the time comes!"

Ye Xinglan deliberately kept everyone in suspense, letting out a burst of silvery laughter, her eyes revealing a hint of excitement.

Just as Su Mo was about to tell the riddle-maker to die, she heard an urging voice from Ye Xinglan's side, "Hey, little Xinglan, who are you chatting with? Hurry up and take a bath!"

"No! I'm coming right now!"

"Sister Shen is calling me, let's talk later."

After saying those words, Ye Xinglan's profile picture went dark instantly.

Su Mo was already used to seeing Ye Xinglan log off in a hurry.

……

Shrek City, Inner Courtyard Staff Dormitory

Wearing a pale yellow princess dress and with her blonde hair tied in a high ponytail, Ye Xinglan rushed to the bathroom without even putting on her shoes after logging off.

The thought of meeting the Tyrannosaurus Warrior in just one month made Ye Xinglan unable to suppress the smile on her face.

At the bathroom door, Shen Yi, leaning against the wall, watched with a smile as Ye Xinglan rushed over, her face beaming with undisguised excitement. He couldn't help but tease her, "What happened to make our little princess so happy?"

"I'm afraid there won't be enough hot water if I arrive late!"

Ye Xinglan stuck out her tongue, lying without batting an eye.

"I think you want to see your boyfriend."

Shen Yi narrowed his eyes, his voice tinged with mockery.

"No way!" Ye Xinglan's face immediately flushed red, and her words came out a beat faster. "Sister Shen, don't talk nonsense. Tyrannosaurus Warrior and I aren't in that kind of relationship. We're just good brothers!"

Fearing that Shen Yi would continue to tease her, Ye Xinglan quickly slipped into the bathroom.

Watching Ye Xinglan flee in disarray, Shen Yi shook his head with a smile.

As Ye Xinglan's mentor, Shen Yi naturally knew that Ye Xinglan had a close online friend with whom she could talk about anything.

However, she had no intention of getting involved; at most, she would keep an eye on things for Ye Xinglan to prevent her from being scammed.
