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

Chapter 87 Another Trip to the Treasure Pavilion

Although she said that, she couldn't hide the smile in her eyes, and she unconsciously imagined herself with long flowing hair and wearing a dress in front of Deng Mu. For a moment, she felt a little shy.

Deng Mu feigned pain, rubbed his arm, and chuckled, "I'm telling the truth. With your looks, you'd definitely amaze everyone if you dressed as a woman. But don't worry, I'll keep your disguise a secret this semester."

As he spoke, he made a shushing gesture.

Then Wang Dong remembered something and asked Deng Mu, "By the way, Deng Mu, besides bringing me a gift, is there anything else you wanted to do today?"

Deng Mu nodded and said, "Yes, I participated in the treasure appreciation event today and saw a lot of good things. I heard from my senior that the core disciples of your outer academy also have a show tomorrow night at the Treasure Pavilion."

After finishing speaking, he briefly told Wang Dong about the Treasure Pavilion, and then went on to talk about the treasures that would be seen at the Treasure Appreciation Meeting.

Wang Dong's eyes lit up as he listened, his hands unconsciously clenching into fists, his face full of eager excitement: "The Treasure Pavilion's treasure appreciation event? That sounds intriguing. There must be a lot of rare and interesting things hidden inside. I have to go and broaden my horizons tomorrow."

As he spoke, Wang Dong leaned closer to Deng Mu, his eyes full of anticipation, "Tell me in detail what treasures you saw today."

Deng Mu cleared his throat and began to describe it with great enthusiasm.

Wang Dong nodded as he listened to Deng Mu's description, secretly thinking about attending the Treasure Pavilion's treasure appreciation event tomorrow and buying some good things.

If I could find a soul bone that suits me, that would be perfect.

Deng Mu looked at Wang Dong and said, "By the way, Wang Dong, remember to invite Yu Tong and Xiao Xiao when you go tomorrow. I'll go with you then."

Wang Dong nodded slightly and replied, "Yes, it's good to invite them too. The more the merrier, and we can all discuss things together. Maybe we can find some good treasures."

She knew it was unlikely they'd find a bargain; what if they got incredibly lucky?

Looking at Wang Dong so close to him, Deng Mu had a bold idea: he wanted to do something reckless.

"Wang Dong, I have a secret to tell you. Come closer."

"What?"

Wang Dong became curious upon hearing Deng Mu's words, and moved closer to Deng Mu, his eyes full of inquiry.

Seeing Wang Dong come closer, Deng Mu kissed Wang Dong's cheek.

Wang Dong's eyes widened instantly, her face flushed, a blush spreading from her cheeks to her ears, and her heart seemed to skip a few beats.

She stood there, stunned and at a loss, her mind a jumbled mess, with only the warm yet unfamiliar touch on her cheek remaining.

It took Wang Dong a long while to come to his senses. He hurriedly raised his hand to cover the spot where he had been kissed, stammering, "Deng... Deng Mu, what... what are you doing!"

Her voice carried a hint of embarrassment and annoyance, but even more so, an unconcealable panic.

Deng Mu laughed and said, "Consider this your punishment for lying to me."

After saying that, he got up and ran away from the dormitory, heading towards the inner courtyard dormitory.

Watching Deng Mu's departing figure, Wang Dong was both angry and anxious. She stomped her foot and muttered under her breath, "Hmph, what kind of person are you? Kissing someone and then running away, what kind of person are you!"

But her flushed face and her still-pounding heart betrayed the panic and peculiar emotions in her heart.

After a while, Wang Dong calmed down a bit and sat on the edge of the bed, his mind replaying the scene from earlier. He felt a mix of emotions, like a jumbled mess of feelings.

She raised her hand and gently touched her cheek, secretly scolding herself for being so stunned and not making a proper reaction.

However, she soon remembered the treasure appreciation event tomorrow, took a deep breath, and tried to focus her attention on it.

"Hmph, I'll have to have a good talk with him when I see him tomorrow. I can't let this go so easily," Wang Dong thought to himself.

……

The next evening, at the dormitory entrance.

Good evening, Yu Tong Wang Dong Xiao Xiao.

Good evening, Deng Mu (Brother Mu).

Deng Mu jogged over to Huo Yutong and the other two to greet them.

Huo Yutong and Xiao Xiao were very happy to see Deng Mu. They hadn't seen Deng Mu for a long time and missed him.

Deng Mu smiled and looked them over one by one. When his gaze fell on Wang Dong, he winked playfully. Wang Dong immediately turned her head away, her cheeks slightly flushed, and she gave a soft hum.

Huo Yutong keenly sensed the subtle atmosphere, nudged Xiao Xiao, and gestured towards Wang Dong with her lips. Xiao Xiao understood immediately and covered her mouth to chuckle.

"Alright, let's stop dawdling. The treasure appreciation event is about to begin, don't miss the best time to pick out treasures." Deng Mu waved his hand and took the lead in walking out of Shrek Academy.

Seeing this, Huo Yutong and the other two quickly followed Deng Mu and headed to Jubaoge together.

On the way to Jubaoge, Deng Mu noticed that Wang Dong and Huo Yutong's relationship had become quite good, probably because the three of them had teamed up and their relationship had gradually improved.

He was quite curious about Huo Yutong's reaction when she found out that Wang Dong was a girl.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

After walking for an hour, Deng Mu and his three companions arrived near Jubaoge.

Upon arriving nearby, Deng Mu stopped, deciding not to head towards Jubaoge.

Seeing this, Huo Yutong asked with some confusion, "Brother Mu, what's wrong?"

Deng Mu explained to Huo Yutong and the others, "I remembered that this is for your outer academy's core disciples, so I can't participate. You go inside; I have other things to do, so we'll meet here later."

He was unlikely to participate, so there was no need for him to go in. He went to find those people who wanted to kill Huo Yutong.

There seem to be six people who want Huo Yutong, including one Soul Emperor and five Soul Kings.

Although Huo Yutong was a little disappointed, she still nodded obediently: "Okay, Brother Mu, you go ahead and get busy. We'll come find you after we've picked out our treasures."

Xiao Xiao waved her hand and said, "Deng Mu, don't take too long."

Wang Dong snorted and turned his head away, muttering, "Who cares if you keep us company? Just don't stand us up."

Despite saying that, her eyes unconsciously followed Deng Mu's back until he turned the corner and disappeared from sight, only then did she look away.

After composing themselves, the three entered the Treasure Pavilion.

Seeing Huo Yutong and the others enter the Treasure Pavilion, Deng Mu began searching for the six people.

He remembered that the six people appeared after Huo Yutong and the others came out, and they wanted to kill Huo Yutong.

So they probably haven't arrived yet, but they'll likely be here soon, lying in wait nearby, hoping to kill Huo Yutong.

……

"Boss, who are we going to kill this time?"

A shifty-eyed man rubbed his hands together, looking at the Soul Emperor with a fawning expression, but his eyes couldn't hide the greedy glint in them.

The leader glanced at him and sneered, "Who else could it be but Huo Yutong, that girl from the outer courtyard of Shrek Academy?"

Another burly man frowned and muttered, "But those are from Shrek Academy. I've heard they're full of experts. If we act rashly like this, won't we get into big trouble?"
