Douluo Continent: Starting with a Void Treasure Trove

Chapter 167 Office Romance

Fortunately, Xu Yang responded to everything she did, and Meng Hongchen knew in her heart that Xu Yang had seen everything she did.

Over the years, apart from Gu Yuena, she and Xu Yang have spent the most time together.

Every day, while Xu Yang racked his brains over the soul tool, she would handle some of the affairs of destiny on the side.

This is their little nest, just the two of them.

Meng Hongchen cherished these moments, and every minute and every second was a sweet memory in her heart.

Sweet words aren't needed between them. Sometimes, simply being there for each other is the most enduring expression of love.

At this moment, looking at Xu Yang, who was obediently squatting down beside him and admitting his mistake, he felt a pang of sadness.

Meng Hongchen couldn't help but laugh.

"Okay, okay, you know I won't really hold a grudge against you. You're just taking advantage of my feelings for you to bully me—"

Xu Yang was very cooperative.

"Miss Meng is right. I was arrogant and took advantage of being loved, so that's why I've come to apologize to you."

"You're smart to know what's good for you!"

Meng Hongchen gave a soft snort, as if she had forgiven Xu Yang for his coldness towards her during this period.

"Tell me, what's the problem this time? Is it data from some experiment that I need to organize, or is it funding from some department that I need to approve?"

"It's surprising that someone as busy as you had to come all this way. For the past two weeks, ever since you took a break, you've never come unless there's a reason."

"Why is today so special?"

Meng Hongchen's lament continued, but Xu Yang knew that she was venting her dissatisfaction.

In this situation, just coaxing her will do the trick.

He stood up and sat down on the sofa.

He then pulled Meng Hongchen into his arms and spoke softly.

"You silly goose, are you always so confused about work?"

"The All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament is in a few days. Didn't you promise Xiao that you would accompany him to win the championship and bring glory to your Hongchen family? —"

"What, did you forget because you were too busy with work?"

"I told you before that I would give you another secretary, but you wouldn't listen to me."

"Are you really not going to consider my suggestion?"

Faced with Xu Yang's sudden action, Meng Hongchen blushed and buried her head in Xu Yang's arms without saying a word.

She didn't know why, but ever since Xu Yang gave her a break and came back, she had become much more outgoing and relaxed.

In the past, she would never have dared to dream that Xu Yang would be so proactive towards her.

But she seems to like Xu Yang even more now.

Seeing that Meng Hongchen in his arms had become absent-minded for some reason, Xu Yang sighed softly, and the two of them just held each other without saying a word.

He knew that of all the women around him, he felt most sorry for Meng Hongchen.

Meng Hongchen was the one who helped him the most, but this girl was always obedient to him and never made any demands.

This made him feel even more guilty.

Let's hug. Consider it paying off some interest first.

Thirty minutes later, Meng Hongchen seemed to realize something.

"Xu Yang, do you have some kind of soul tool on you? It's hard and a bit uncomfortable."

"And you seem to be in a lot of pain. Is there anything I can do to help?"

Meng Hongchen jumped off Xu Yang and then reached down to his lower body.

Xu Yang simply managed to dodge it.

Xu Yang was quite embarrassed. He had thought Meng Hongchen was a naive girl like Gu Yuena. But it seemed that in this respect, Meng Hongchen's purity was comparable to Wang Dong's.

"It's nothing, I can handle it myself in a bit."

Looking into Meng Hongchen's innocent red eyes, Xu Yang had no choice but to tell a white lie.

Xu Yang went out to take care of some personal matters. The real reason was that he didn't want to become a heavy metal smelting enthusiast.

"Now we can get down to business."

Xu Yang let out a long sigh of relief, as if some pressure had been completely released.

"Pack your things, I'll take you back to Mingdu in a bit. I've found you a mentor this time, so you can improve your skills before the competition."

"Don't tell me you're level 56 and it doesn't matter. Xiao is level 58 and about to become a Soul Emperor, but do you dare say that the two of you can beat me at the same level?"

Meng Hongchen felt that she could still be saved.

"You're so special—"

Xu Yang, annoyed, flicked the forehead at the stubborn Meng Hongchen.

"What are you doing—oh!"

"Leaving aside me, who is at the same level, what about Ji Juechen?"

"Can you beat him?"

"Why do you always go looking for those special people? Ji Juechen isn't an ordinary person either—"

Meng Hongchen pursed her lips.

She knew that Xu Yang was actually right.

For the past few years, she and her brother have been working for Destiny, one spending all their time in the forge, the other forging iron. Apart from necessary training, they haven't had much time for combat.

Therefore, the combat power of the brother and sister can only be said to be better than that of Soul Masters of the same level, but they still need a lot of training to reach the level of Ji Juechen or Di Ni'er who can defeat those above them.

At Di Ni'er's request, she and Di Ni'er once had a friendly match.

As a result, she suffered a crushing defeat.

This is also related to Di Ni'er's powerful talent. At the same time, Di Ni'er has also learned a lot of combat skills, including the ultimate techniques of the Body Sect.

Di Ni'er learned everything that Di Tian had figured out very quickly.

Recently, Di Ni'er has been studying the Tai Xu Form Essence that Xu Yang gave her.

According to her, she's almost figured it out. Even Xu Yang is somewhat envious of her in this regard.

"So I found you two a teacher, so you can take advantage of this time to make up for your poor combat experience."

""

As Xu Yang spoke, he began to arrange some matters concerning the upcoming destiny.

Since Meng Hongchen was recruited by him, he definitely needed to find a trustworthy person to take over those jobs.

At the same time, someone who can navigate between both soul beasts and humans is hard to find.

Therefore, Xu Yang decided to borrow Bi Ji to fill in for a few days until the competition was over, after which she would return to normal work. At the same time, he could also find a suitable secretary for Meng Hongchen.

The workload is simply too great.

Even if Meng Hongchen disagreed, it wouldn't work this time.

"Your sister Le Xuan, I had to beg her so much before she reluctantly agreed to be your mentor for once. An mentor at the level of an 89th-level quasi-titled Douluo, just thinking about it makes me feel so proud."

Xu Yang said this while finishing up the remaining work.

"Sister Lexuan? She's like me, I'm afraid she'll just silently agree as soon as you ask."

"All you do is bully the two of us. If you're so capable, why don't you show some backbone in front of Sister Gu Yue? Why don't you dare to fight her?"

Xu Yang inwardly scoffed at Meng Hongchen's ruthless exposure.

"I actually did stand up for myself in front of Gu Yuena."

"And your sister Gu Yue didn't even put up a fight."
