Douluo Continent: Starting with a Void Treasure Trove

Chapter 153 The Crown Prince's Invitation

Xu Yang arrived home at noon, and it wasn't until midnight that the two of them finished absorbing the entire Star Luo Spirit Pearl.

Zhang Lexuan was already drenched in sweat, but Xu Yang hadn't changed much. After performing the fusion warrior surgery, he could now control the discharge of bodily fluids at will.

Zhang Lexuan slowly opened her eyes, feeling the abundant soul power within her body; she was now at level eighty-nine.

Before long, she will reach level 90, at which time she will be the youngest Title Douluo in the entire continent!

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on her face.

She's one step closer to getting revenge. Hopefully, Mu En won't be too surprised to see her like this.

Furthermore, with the protection of the Silver Moon, she is confident that she can fight even a Super Douluo!

Under the nurturing of her martial soul's origin, the Silver Moon Guardian underwent a slight change, which she showed to Xu Yang.

Xu Yang said this was a good thing, as it meant that the Silver Moon Guardian had begun to take her shape and that its compatibility with her was constantly improving.

After examining her own soul power, Zhang Lexuan looked at Xu Yang, who was smiling broadly.

In comparison, Xu Yang's changes were minimal.

After all, he only played a supporting role.

The main effects of the medicine were absorbed by Zhang Lexuan alone.

If we had to pinpoint any changes, it would probably be that the fusion of their martial souls seems to have improved.

It has increased from 95% to 99%.

They are only one step away from achieving a 100% perfect martial soul fusion skill.

"Ah Yang, I—"

Just as Zhang Lexuan was about to speak, she realized that something seemed wrong with her body.

Xu Yang guessed it too; Zhang Lexuan had just absorbed the Star Luo Spirit Pearl, and it was as if she had undergone another baptism of marrow cleansing.

Without saying a word, Zhang Lexuan rushed straight to the bathroom.

At this point, there's no time to worry about being reserved.

Besides, she didn't need to be reserved in front of Xu Yang.

Xu Yang, holding the silver dragon, leaned back on the sofa and picked up a blueprint for a soul-guided magic array to look at.

"Why is it taking so long? It's been thirty minutes and it's still not over?"

Xu Yang glanced at the time and realized that thirty minutes had already passed, but Zhang Lexuan in the bathroom still didn't seem to be coming out.

"Are all girls this complicated?"

Xu Yang was puzzled, but since there was nothing urgent at the moment, he waited patiently.

About twenty minutes later, Zhang Lexuan finally came out.

Xu Yang glanced over and saw Zhang Lexuan looking like a lotus emerging from the water, wearing only a bathrobe and with her hair still wet.

He didn't know if Zhang Lexuan had forgotten or for some other reason, but Xu Yang felt that Zhang Lexuan was acting a little strange today.

Zhang Lexuan sat leaning against him, and Xu Yang could smell the cool fragrance emanating from her.

"Why is your hair still wet? Didn't you think of using your soul power to dry it?"

"I forgot, I'll go right away—"

Zhang Lexuan spoke softly as she headed towards the bathroom.

Xu Yang put away the blueprints and pulled Zhang Lexuan back.

"Never mind, I really don't know what's wrong with you today."

"I always feel like I'm a bit slow/dull —"

As Xu Yang spoke, his hands gradually warmed up.

Then, he gently held Zhang Lexuan's long, black hair in his hand. At the same time, Xu Yang chatted with Zhang Lexuan on and off.

"Has anyone come to your house recently, or has anything happened to you?"

Zhang Lexuan had her back to Xu Yang, a slight smile playing on her lips, while constantly shifting her position to accommodate him as much as possible.

"Nothing much happened in Mingdu, except—"

Zhang Lexuan seemed to be struggling with whether or not to tell Xu Yang halfway through her sentence.

"What is it?"

Zhang Lexuan's hair was completely dried, and she looked very refreshed, so Xu Yang let go of her.

When she sensed Xu Yang loosening his grip, Zhang Lexuan pouted, but her tone remained unchanged.

"It's that Crown Prince—"

"He's sent people over more than once. The last few times, it was a young girl, I think her name was something like—Ju Zi?"

Zhang Lexuan tilted her head, seemingly to confirm whether she had remembered the name incorrectly.

"Xu Tianran? What's he doing here for no reason?"

"Not satisfied with just killing off all his brothers, now you're setting your sights on me?"

Xu Yang jokingly stated what he considered to be the lowest possible possibility.

"I don't know, it's just that you haven't been home lately, so that orange just came over for a free meal and then left."

"This has been happening the last few times —"

Should I reject him next time?

Zhang Lexuan recalled that the main reason she did not refuse these things was because Xu Tianran was the crown prince of the Sun Moon Empire, and he seemed to be related to Xu Yang.

After she finished speaking, she turned around and met Xu Yang's gaze.

"I guess he wants to talk to me about something, after all, I'm probably the only uncertain factor in his ascension to that position."

"When soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it."

"You don't need to worry about these things. Just do what you're supposed to do every day."

Zhang Lexuan responded.

"What are you going to do next? Are you leaving again?"

"Next—"

Xu Yang was also thinking about what he should do next.

The mass production of artificial ten-thousand-year spirit rings has been put on track, and the Spirit Ascension Platform can only be started when one's next Spirit Master level is reached.

While the two were still lost in thought.

But the doorbell rang.

Since Zhang Lexuan moved here, Xu Sheng has returned to his property in Mingdu to avoid suspicion.

Zhang Lexuan is able to live independently and rarely goes out, so she knows who it is as soon as the doorbell rings.

"Um?"

Xu Yang was puzzled. Since he was at home and didn't need to use his mental power to detect the outside world all the time, he didn't know who the person was.

"It's the person I just mentioned, the Crown Prince's person, Orange."

"It seems she and Ni'er have the same teacher."

Zhang Lexuan would naturally investigate Ju Zi's identity.

As for why she didn't stop Ju Zi from coming here, Zhang Lexuan was bored at home every day anyway, so it would be nice to have someone come and talk to her every day.

Moreover, according to Zhang Lexuan, the little girl named Ju Zi also seems to have a rather tragic background.

Both of his parents died in the war between the Sun Moon Empire and the Star Luo Empire.

He was a person with a tragic fate.

Over this period of time, Orange felt that she and Zhang Lexuan had gotten along quite well.

"Sister Zhang, I've come to freeload a meal!"

Orange's voice came from the soul tool at the door into the house.

"How about I let her leave?"

In Zhang Lexuan's opinion, Xu Yang probably doesn't like meeting outsiders.

Xu Yang was somewhat at a loss for words, both amused and exasperated.

"What, am I some kind of shameful existence?"

"It's perfect that they came to my door on their own initiative, which saves me the trouble of having to go and talk to Xu Tianran again."

After hearing what Xu Yang said, Zhang Lexuan got up to open the door.

"Sister Zhang, I've missed you so much!"

As soon as she opened the door, Zhang Lexuan saw a figure rushing straight towards her.
