Douluo Continent: Ice Phoenix Rebuilds Her Skills and Enrolls in Tianshui Academy

Chapter 24 Step aside, I'm about to start showing off.

sunset.

The two shadows drew closer and closer.

Chu Han stopped in his tracks and looked at Anya, who had unknowingly moved closer to his shoulder. He gave her a wary look as he looked her up and down.

Anya felt a little embarrassed and annoyed by Chu Han's wary gaze, as if she were some kind of wicked female hooligan, daring to look at her like that!

It's perfectly normal for people to walk together without realizing it, right?

"Hey, little white-haired guy, why are you looking at me like that?"

Anya snorted and crossed her arms.

Chu Han silently took two steps to the side without saying a word.

Anya: "..."

Chu Han didn't say anything, but it was as if he had said everything.

She was somewhat embarrassed and angry:

"Hey, you little white-haired rascal, who do you think you are?! Do you think I'd even want to sit next to you? Who would be interested in a pubescent creature like you?!"

Chu Han sneered, "Some female hooligans just happen to like older men dating younger women!"

An old cow eating young grass!

Anya had never heard of such a saying before, but that didn't prevent the vivid metaphor from allowing her to accurately understand Chu Han's meaning.

Starting from the neck, the redness spreads all the way to the ears, until the whole body is completely flushed!

The Soul Emperor's aura fluctuated slightly, as if he was about to summon his Martial Soul to fight Chu Han to the death.

Chu Han's heart skipped a beat!

Oops!

Lies don't hurt, but the truth is the sharpest knife!

That hit this old woman where it hurts!

He quickly tried to salvage the situation: "Even someone as young and beautiful as you won't work; I have no plans to be in a relationship right now!"

The words "young and beautiful" were like a bucket of cold water, barely managing to cool down those explosive powder kegs.

Anya snorted, "What wishful thinking!"

"I've seen more men in my life than you've eaten meals!"

"Oh, you are very knowledgeable."

Anya: "..."

She was speechless, feeling as if she had punched a piece of cotton. Instead of venting her resentment, she became even more frustrated.

Chu Han, knowing when to stop, asked with a smile:

"Teacher Anya, there's a dessert shop over there that looks pretty good. Want to try it?"

Anya said sullenly, "Let's go."

She was racking her brains, trying to figure out how to make the little white-haired boy suffer a loss.

We arrived at the dessert shop.

Even in the sweltering summer evenings, the heat remains unbearable.

In the sweltering heat, desserts and snacks such as mung bean soup, pear syrup, and candied hawthorn berries from dessert shops seem especially delicious.

Especially upon entering the dessert shop, I felt a slight chill, a cool sensation all over my body, which was incredibly refreshing.

It turns out that the shop owner was an ice-attribute Soul Master. Because the consumption in Heaven Dou City is far beyond that of other cities, there are indeed many Soul Masters with low talent who have become merchants.

Chu Han and Anya took their seats.

After ordering pear syrup and some pastries and snacks in Anya.

Chu Han ordered two more bowls of mung bean soup.

In the sweltering summer, how can you do without a bowl of refreshing and cooling mung bean dish?

Inside Chu Han's sea of ​​consciousness.

Hyotei's mouth watered with envy. "Chu Han, Chu Han! I want some too! Remember to pack two portions, so Yuki-nee and I can eat together!"

The Snow Maiden said softly, "Forget it, packing two portions would be too conspicuous and arouse Anya's suspicion. Chu Han, you pack one portion and say it's for Dean Mizuki. I'll just try some of Bing'er's."

Who is Chu Han?

A million-year-old soul beast, does it really expect its two "daughters" to share even sweet soup?

Chu Han waved his hand.

"Boss, two more servings, to go!"

Anya asked curiously, "You're packing two portions, who are you taking them back for?"

Chu Han rolled his eyes. "What's it to you?"

"So what if I like to eat it? I can keep it for as long as I want, and eat it whenever I want!"

Anya thought about it and agreed.

Chu Han is a powerful ice-attribute Soul Master, so preserving some desserts would be a piece of cake for him, wouldn't it? Naturally, she wouldn't ask any further questions.

Chu Han's consciousness sank into his sea of ​​consciousness, and he said to the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor:

"How about that? I told you I had a way. There's no need to be timid all the time. As long as she doesn't see the two of you, she'll never dream that I'm raising two 'daughters'."

"Who is your daughter...?"

Before Hyotei could finish speaking, Chu Han abruptly severed the connection.

The Ice Emperor was furious. Chu Han could sever his connection with her and the Snow Emperor, but they couldn't sever their connection with Chu Han. This meant that Chu Han would never be at a disadvantage in an argument!

Just as Chu Han was enjoying his meal, he heard two female voices coming from outside.

"Lingling, this dessert shop looks really good!"

"We finally finished tidying up the dorm, shall we go in and sit down for a bit?"

"Lingling?" Chu Han looked up and saw a mature woman with long dark green hair leading a sweet girl with short blue hair into the dessert shop.

"Sister Yan Yan, look what the boss is doing! This ice sculpture is so beautiful!"

After the girl with short blue hair finished speaking, Chu Han was able to confirm it.

These are Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling from the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy. I never expected to run into them while shopping with Anya.

What a coincidence, he had never met a single acquaintance of his before.

Chu Han had clearly overlooked a fact.

He stays at Tianshui Academy all day, immersing himself in alchemy. It would be strange if he were to run into any characters from the original story.

It's like a shut-in who stays indoors but fantasizes about dating. What's the difference between that and waiting for a home invasion robbery to happen during a relationship?

at this time.

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were standing in front of the shop, watching the shop owner carving ice carp, and exclaimed in amazement.

The carp are so lifelike and vivid, they look like works of art.

It's also a tactic used by business owners to attract customers.

"Boss, are you selling this ice sculpture?"

Dugu Yan reluctantly shifted her gaze from the small snake ice sculpture and asked the shopkeeper who was carving it.

The shop owner gave an awkward laugh, "Haha, this ice sculpture in our shop is not for sale."

The ice sculpture of the bamboo viper, in particular, is the owner's masterpiece; he would find it difficult to carve another ice sculpture of the same quality.

Dugu Yan offered, "Ten gold soul coins, one price, will you sell?"

The shopkeeper looked troubled. "Miss, how about you choose another one? Ten gold soul coins, and I'll give you two more ice sculptures, okay?"

"I put a lot of effort into carving this ice sculpture, and although ten gold soul coins is a very reasonable price, you can't preserve this ice sculpture like I can. By the time you take it back, it will probably melt in less than a day."

Dugu Yan looked disappointed, but she knew that the boss was right.

Ye Lingling said softly, "It's alright, Sister Yan Yan. Let's go look around somewhere else. You like little snakes, right? I know a wood carving shop..."

Wood carving and ice carving are fundamentally different. The crystal-clear beauty of ice carving, its purity like crystal, and its brilliance under the light, can never be replaced by wood carving.

Disappointed, Dugu Yan prepared to leave.

At this time.

Chu Han stood up.

Anya looked at Chu Han strangely, "Aren't you going to eat?"

Chu Han kept his eyes straight ahead and spoke calmly.

"Step back, I'm about to start showing off."

Anya: "..."

She didn't know why, but suddenly she had an urge to punch someone.

That's what you call deserving a beating.
