Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: Starting with a Bond to God King Tang San

Chapter 241: A Battleground?

Deng Mu hesitated for a moment, looked up at Wang Qiu'er, and saw that her eyes were full of expectation. Not wanting to refuse directly, he reluctantly nodded and agreed: "Okay, I don't have anything to do right now anyway."

The two left Poseidon Lake side by side and strolled around Shrek Academy.

"Deng Mu, why don't you participate in the Sea God's Fate?" Wang Qiu'er asked Deng Mu with some curiosity.

Without hesitation, Deng Mu replied, "I don't need it. What about you, Wang Qiu'er?"

Wang Qiu'er smiled gently: "As for me, participating in the Sea God's Fate event doesn't mean much to me. My mind isn't on that."

Her gaze was fixed on the distance, as if she were deep in thought.

Deng Mu raised an eyebrow, his curiosity about Wang Qiu'er's true purpose growing, but he didn't press her for details, and the two continued walking through the academy.

As they walked, Wang Qiu'er suddenly stopped, took a deep breath, and looked at Deng Mu, asking, "Deng Mu, if we were to participate in the Sea God's Fate event, would you choose me?"

Her voice was exceptionally clear in the quiet night.

Deng Mu was stunned; he hadn't expected Wang Qiu'er to suddenly throw out such a question.

The moonlight shone on Wang Qiu'er's face, outlining her delicate features, but Deng Mu had no heart to appreciate it at the moment.

He opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know how to answer.

The main problem is that I don't know what Wang Qiu'er's purpose is, and I don't know how to answer Wang Qiu'er's question.

"I..." Deng Mu hesitated for a moment, subconsciously avoiding Wang Qiu'er's gaze. "Wang Qiu'er, your sudden question has left me a little at a loss."

He scratched his head, trying to ease the sudden awkwardness.

She was a little puzzled as to why Wang Qiu'er would ask this question.

Their relationship wasn't that good yet; it was only when she was still in beast form that he fed her quite a bit.

Wang Qiu'er, however, had no intention of letting him go. She took a step forward and stared directly into Deng Mu's eyes.

Seeing this, Deng Mu replied, "Yes, and what about you?"

When Wang Qiu'er heard Deng Mu's answer, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

She slightly raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a faint smile, "If I really participate in the Sea God's Fate competition, I think I would choose you too."

Her voice was soft, with a hint of barely perceptible shyness.

"Deng Mu!"

Just then, Wang Dong'er's voice rang out.

Deng Mu and Wang Qiu'er looked in the direction of the sound and saw Wang Dong'er walking quickly toward them.

Deng Mu was somewhat surprised to see Wang Dong'er; he hadn't expected her to return at this time.

Previously, Tang Ya had told him that Wang Dong'er would be away for a long time and wouldn't be back until today.

However, he was still quite happy. He hadn't seen Wang Dong'er for a long time and missed her.

Wang Dong'er walked over in a few steps, her gaze sweeping back and forth between Deng Mu and Wang Qiu'er, her eyes filled with scrutiny: "What are you two talking about, so intently?"

When Wang Dong'er saw Wang Qiu'er's appearance clearly, she was somewhat surprised.

Because Wang Qiu'er looks somewhat similar to her, people who don't know them might think they are sisters.

Her tone seemed relaxed, but Deng Mu keenly sensed the jealousy in it.

Deng Mu smiled awkwardly, and was about to explain when Wang Qiu'er interrupted, "We were just chatting. I just asked Deng Mu why he didn't participate in the Sea God's Fate event."

Wang Qiu'er remained calm, a faint smile playing on her lips.

Wang Dong'er nodded slightly, appearing relieved on the surface, but her inner doubts remained undiminished.

While secretly observing Wang Qiu'er, she casually said, "Oh, I thought you two were talking about some secret."

As she spoke, she affectionately took Deng Mu's arm, asserting her dominance over Wang Qiu'er.

She had a vague feeling that Wang Qiu'er must have some ulterior motive, and she wouldn't allow this ill-intentioned woman to get close to Deng Mu.

With a seemingly warm smile, Wang Dong'er said to Wang Qiu'er, "Hello, my name is Wang Dong'er. May I ask your name?"

Wang Qiu'er smiled slightly and replied politely, "Hello, my name is Wang Qiu'er."

Her gaze swept over Wang Dong'er's arm linked with Deng Mu's, her smile unchanged, but her eyes held a hint of something unfathomable.

Deng Mu looked at Wang Dong'er and Wang Qiu'er and joked, "Your names only differ by one character, could you two be sisters?"

Wang Dong'er and Wang Qiu'er were both slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

Wang Dong'er was the first to react, half-jokingly saying, "How could that be? I don't have a sister who suddenly appeared out of nowhere."

The latest novel is first published here!

Although she said that, she had some doubts in her heart, after all, the two looked too similar.

The names could be considered a coincidence, but the similarity in appearance was too striking, which made her somewhat suspicious.

It's impossible that Wang Qiu'er was born to her parents in the divine realm, right?

But she quickly dismissed the idea. If Wang Qiu'er were really her sister, she would definitely know about it from her second and third uncles.

Besides, it takes time to grow up; how could someone grow this big all at once?

As Wang Dong'er was pondering this, Wang Qiu'er suddenly stepped forward and smiled at Deng Mu, saying, "Deng Mu, when you said you would choose me if we participated in the Sea God's Fate competition, were you sincere?"

Her eyes held a hint of expectation as she stared intently at Deng Mu, completely ignoring Wang Dong'er's increasingly unpleasant expression beside her.

Upon hearing this, Wang Dong'er tightened her grip on Deng Mu's hand and interjected, "Deng Mu was just saying it casually, did you really take it seriously?"

She smiled, but felt a little jealous, thinking that when she got back, she would teach Deng Mu a lesson for his womanizing ways.

Wang Qiu'er wasn't annoyed; she still smiled and said, "Just something I said offhand? I don't think Deng Mu is the kind of person who would be so casual."

Her gaze shifted between Wang Dong'er and Deng Mu, as if waiting for a definite answer.

Deng Mu was caught off guard by this sudden questioning, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He didn't know how to answer and inwardly groaned.

If he had known it would turn out this way, he shouldn't have come to join the fun today; he wouldn't have run into this mess.

Seeing Deng Mu hesitate, Wang Dong'er's jealousy flared up completely. She snorted, "Wang Qiu'er, you look like me, and your name is similar too. Could it be that you're deliberately getting close to Deng Mu?"

She made no attempt to hide her suspicion, staring intently at Wang Qiu'er.

Wang Qiu'er's expression remained unchanged as she said softly, "Wang Dong'er, what you're saying is strange. Deng Mu and I were just chatting casually by chance, how did that become a deliberate attempt to get close?"

Her tone was calm, yet it subtly hinted at a retaliation.

Seeing this, Deng Mu wanted to offer some advice, but he didn't know how to say it best.

If things aren't agreed upon properly, it will offend the other party.
