Douluo V: Starting with daily check-ins, I'm trying to trick Xiao Wu into becoming my wife.

"Ah~"

The touch was soft and delicate, light and airy, and exceptionally comfortable, making her let out a soft, coquettish moan.

Ning Rongrong had just raised her hand, but her delicate hand was still suspended in mid-air. Before she could react, Ao Yin acted decisively, reaching out and firmly grasping her slender, fair hand.

Ao Yin smiled faintly to himself.

He was never one to be coy or pretentious.

This sudden and bold move made Ning Rongrong's heart skip a beat.

My heart skipped a beat, and my mind went blank for a moment.

Her pretty face stiffened slightly, and a sudden, inexplicable panic gripped her heart:

This guy... didn't he just walk into the lion's den by trying to strike up a conversation?

But she subconsciously looked up.

What met his gaze was Ao Yin's clear and bright eyes.

Open-minded, composed, without a trace of sleazy or frivolousness.

It's so pure that you can't find a single flaw in it.

Ning Rongrong's chaotic thoughts vanished instantly, but a faint blush crept onto her cheeks.

She felt a little shy, gently withdrew her small hand, her ears slightly burning, and her heart was in turmoil.

The dignified little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had never been so readily and proactively touched by a strange young man before.

My heart was pounding so fast it was almost out of control.

Seeing Ning Rongrong's change in demeanor, Ao Yin smiled slightly. So what if she's a little witch? She can't resist [Max Level Charm]!

After exchanging a few polite words with Ning Rongrong, Ao Yin turned his head and looked at Dai Mubai, who was looking around and pretending to be busy.

He spoke in a relaxed, slightly teasing tone, taking the initiative to speak:

"Mu Bai, we meet again."

"What? You see me and don't even say hello?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong immediately turned her head curiously, her slender neck turning slightly as her gaze fell directly on Dai Mubai.

Ning Rongrong was filled with surprise.

So Ao Yin and Dai Mubai knew each other all along?

But Ao Yinming also just registered today, and is a freshman just like me.

Logically speaking, everyone should call Dai Mubai "senior".

Judging from his tone, it sounds like Dai Mubai is afraid of him.

On the other side, Dai Mubai's heart skipped a beat, and his scalp tingled.

This is Shrek Academy!

Teachers are here, new students are here, and parents are here too!

If he were exposed in public, it would be absurd that this Shrek leader had actually recognized a new student as his elder brother.

He completely lost face on the first day of school!

Absolutely not!

Dai Mubai steeled himself and strode forward, bending slightly to whisper in Ao Yin's ear, his voice carrying a hint of pleading.

"Brother Ao! My dear Brother Ao!"

"With so many people watching, can't you give me some face?"

"What's wrong? Let's go inside the academy and talk quietly, okay?"

Ao Yin looked at his embarrassed and begging appearance, smiled slightly, and nodded gently.

"Can."

With just that one sentence, Dai Mubai instantly felt a great weight lifted off his shoulders.

"Mu Bai, there's one more person who passed the test!"

Li Yusong scratched his head and pushed Tang San towards Dai Mubai's side. Today's enrollment situation is much better than in previous years!

Dai Mubai was afraid that Ao Yin would expose him in public, so he didn't dare to delay for a moment and immediately led the way enthusiastically, taking the group to the depths of the academy.

There were many people and eyes watching at the village entrance.

If he stayed any longer, he would truly be doomed.

After a quick handover with Li Yusong, Dai Mubai led the people who had passed the assessment towards Shrek Academy.

The courtyard is quiet and secluded, with shady trees.

The group had only walked a short distance when Ao Yin suddenly stopped.

He slightly raised his eyes, his gaze precisely locking onto the dark shadow of an ancient tree by the roadside. His tone was calm, yet resolute.

"Stop looking."

"Now that you've passed the assessment, we'll be classmates and companions from now on."

"Come out, let's go together."

The air fell silent instantly.

Beneath the dim shadows of the trees, all was silent.

After several breaths of silence, a slender and graceful figure slowly emerged from the shadows.

Her long, jet-black hair fell softly over her shoulders, swaying gently in the breeze.

Her figure was slender and graceful, and her waist was as soft as a willow.

Despite looking extremely young, she possesses an incredibly alluring figure and appearance.

Her cool, aloof features, fair skin, and unapproachable demeanor were mixed with a subtle, alluring charm.

Pure yet aloof, beautiful yet alluring.

She possesses a captivating charm far beyond that of girls her age, and one glance is enough to stir one's heart.

The person who arrived was none other than Zhu Zhuqing, one of the future Shrek Seven Devils.

She stood quietly with her eyes lowered, her demeanor aloof and excessively quiet.

The moment she stepped out of the shadows, Ao Yin merely glanced at her briefly before turning away and continuing on his way with composure.

His steps were steady, his expression calm, without the slightest hint of prying or loss of composure.

Others might be captivated by Zhu Zhuqing's stunning beauty, leaving them mesmerized and stunned.

But Ao Yin understood perfectly.

Zhu Zhuqing is aloof, sensitive, and slow to warm up.

If at this moment, one's eyes are greedy, one is deliberately striking up conversations, and one appears infatuated.

It will only completely disgust her and leave a terrible first impression.

Once the first impression is ruined, it will be incredibly awkward to get along with others or even have normal conversations in the future.

Ao Yin was calm and composed.

He doesn't seek to quickly build a closer relationship.

The best way to get closer to someone is to take things slowly, break the ice gently, and be warm and restrained.

On the other hand, Tang San kept trying to strike up a conversation with Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing in hopes of getting their attention, but they weren't interested in him at all.

Ao Yin sneered and walked forward on his own.

A petite and agile figure immediately hopped and skipped up.

Xiao Wu smiled, her face full of joy, and quickly moved to Ao Yin's side, her soft little hands naturally taking his arm.

She felt soft and warm all over, and snuggled intimately against him.

"Little Ao, why are you walking so slowly?"

"I thought you'd run away!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Wu's bright eyes glanced over and instantly landed on Zhu Zhuqing, who was silently following behind her.

Unfamiliar, aloof, and exquisitely beautiful.

A beautiful older sister I've never seen before.

Xiao Wu tilted her head slightly, her eyes full of curiosity, and asked softly.

"Little Ao, who is she?"

Ao Yin glanced sideways and casually asked a question.

"Who?"

Ao Yin remained calm, deliberately pretending to be completely unaware of the girl's presence behind him.

Zhu Zhuqing, standing behind him, remained silent for a long time.

She lowered her cool eyes, a slight stirring in her heart. She had already seen the boy clearly in the shadows of the trees.

What attracted her most was not the other person's young age and terrifying strength, but the innate temperament that made people feel good about him!

She quietly raised her eyes, her gaze gently sweeping over Ao Yinqing's handsome and upright back.

My gaze lingered for a moment, and a strange, inexplicable feeling welled up inside me.

After a moment, she withdrew her gaze, spoke in a cool voice, and took the initiative to introduce herself.

"Zhu Zhuqing, a level 27 agility-attack type Soul Master."

"Martial Soul, Netherworld Cat, here to participate in the fourth test."

Her voice was soft and cool, gentle yet distant, so pleasant to the ear that it made one's heart itch slightly.

Xiao Wu's eyes immediately lit up, and without the slightest awkwardness, she skipped and hopped over.

Her little face was sweet, and her smile was incredibly radiant.

"Wow! Sister Zhuqing is so pretty! My name is Xiaowu!"

"A level 29 offensive-type Soul Master, my Martial Soul is the Soft-Boned Rabbit, hehe!"

After saying that, Xiao Wu completely opened up, revealing her quirky and mischievous nature.

She gazed at Zhu Zhuqing's slender and graceful figure with curiosity, her eyes full of envy, chattering on and on with questions.

"Sister Zhuqing, did you come to Shrek Academy for the exam alone?"

"Your figure is amazing! How do you maintain it?"

"Her skin is so fair and beautiful, I've never seen such a beautiful woman before!"

A series of soft, sweet questions came out in quick succession, lively and boisterous.

Ao Yin chuckled helplessly, his eyes full of doting affection.

This little girl is always so outgoing and bursting with curiosity.

He looked up at Zhu Zhuqing, noticing her slightly flustered and aloof expression as Xiao Wu entangled her.

A slight thought crossed his mind, and he nodded gently to her, a hint of apology in his eyes.

This is to apologize to Xiaowu for being noisy.

Their eyes met, their gazes locked for a fleeting moment.

Zhu Zhuqing's usually indifferent heartstrings trembled slightly for no apparent reason.

The young man before me was strong, composed, and restrained, and also exceptionally gentle and polite.

She was completely different from all the other people her age she had ever met.

She usually disliked making eye contact, but at this moment she did not avoid his gaze.

She merely touched his neck lightly, the movement extremely subtle, and silently accepted the apology.

The interaction was silent, quiet yet ambiguous.

A subtle atmosphere, incomprehensible to others, quietly spread between the two.

At that very moment, not far away.

Dai Mubai, who had just led a burly figure over, suddenly froze, feeling instantly uncomfortable.

He stared intently at Zhu Zhuqing's cold and familiar face, his eyes flashing with panic, guilt, and evasion.

My thoughts were instantly thrown into chaos.

However, the burly, rugged man beside him was completely unaware of his unusual behavior.

They assumed Dai Mubai had just seen a pretty girl again, and that his nature was hard to change.

I didn't take it to heart at all.

The burly man turned his gaze, piercing through the crowd and locking onto Ao Yin, the most dazzling figure in the room.

The atmosphere suddenly turned somber, and a sense of oppression washed over us.

His voice was deep and resonant, like thunder, and rang out in a deep, resonant tone.

"You are Ao Yin?"

The entire room fell silent instantly.

Facing the overwhelming aura from the other side, Ao Yin stood tall and straight like a pine tree.

His eyes were calm and undisturbed; he looked up and stared directly at the other person, neither flustered nor arrogant.

"it's me."

"What guidance does the teacher have?"

These five simple words were full of confidence, showing no trace of timidity or hesitation.

The air in the entire testing area instantly froze completely.

A heavy, oppressive, and somber atmosphere instantly enveloped the entire venue.

"Could this... be another Soul Emperor?"

Everyone, including Tang San, dared not breathe, their hearts pounding, fearing that a storm would break out at any moment.

After a few breaths of silence.

The expected reprimands, difficulties, and oppression did not materialize.

The burly man suddenly looked up and burst into laughter!

His laughter was so loud and unrestrained that it made the leaves on the surrounding trees tremble!

He raised his hand and gave a thumbs up, his eyes full of admiration, looking straight at Ao Yin.

"Good lad! Courage, presence, and character are all impressive!"

Let me introduce myself.

"I am the teacher in charge of your fourth practical assessment."

"My name is Zhao Wuji!"

Everyone fell silent, secretly tense and uneasy.

Only Ao Yin felt a slight heaviness in his heart the moment he heard this name.

Others may not know, but he knows it all too well.

The seemingly rugged and easygoing burly man in front of me is by no means an ordinary teacher.

His strength far surpasses that of Li Yusong, who recruits students at the gate, by several times!

Fudo Myoo, Zhao Wuji!

A dignified level 76 offensive Soul Saint!

This final assessment is no simple test!

It was clearly a one-sided crushing defeat!

...

Zhao Wuji stood with his hands behind his back, speaking casually yet domineeringly, as he slowly explained the rules of the fourth test.

"This last hurdle is very simple."

"You little guys, as long as you can hold out against me for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, you'll pass the level."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Dai Mubai beside him and casually gave an order.

"Mu Bai, you explain the rules of this level to them!"

"It would be too boring if you couldn't even last half an incense stick's time."

After giving his instructions, Zhao Wuji closed his eyes and stood still, his body as immovable as a mountain.

He appeared nonchalant, with his eyes closed as if resting, but a powerful aura inherent to a Soul Saint suddenly emanated from him!

???

Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Tang San all looked puzzled.

The vast testing area fell eerily silent instantly.
