I am the son of the Dragon God in Douluo Continent.

Chapter 11: The Story of the Tortoise and the Snake

In the end, in order to get out of the awkward situation, Xu Xingyu could only endure the pain and coax the two girls on the way to the dormitory before they let her go.

Taking this opportunity, Xu Xingyu shifted the topic to the purple-haired girl who was chatting so intimately with Xu Sanshi, and asked who she was and why she was so close to Xu Sanshi.

Jiang Nannan truthfully told Xu Xingyu about the other party's information. After all, she could tell that he didn't have any intention of being interested in the other party. He was just curious about why Xu Sanshi seemed to have become a different person after meeting her.

The purple-haired girl's name is Dugu Yanran. She is a descendant of Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo from ten thousand years ago. Her martial soul is the Azure Scale Thunder Serpent. She is Xu Sanshi's current girlfriend and fiancée.

A few years ago, the Dugu family was one of the few families that joined the Qiling Tower. The reason they joined the Qiling Tower was not only to take advantage of the benefits while the Qiling Tower was still expanding, but also because the Qiling Tower had medical technology that far surpassed that of the Dugu family. Therefore, they also had the opportunity to completely resolve the backlash from their family's hereditary toxin.

As a result, the Dugu family inevitably came into contact with the Xuanming Sect. After several exchanges, the two families got along very well, and during this process, Xu Sanshi and Dugu Yanran also got to know each other.

At that time, Xu Sanshi was still immersed in self-blame for his family's despicable act against an innocent girl when Dugu Yanran noticed the lonely Xu Sanshi and, on a whim, greeted him.

At first, Xu Sanshi didn't want to pay attention to the other person, but eventually he couldn't stand it anymore and unconsciously poured out his troubles. Perhaps it was because at that time he just needed a listener.

Dugu Yanran, as the listener, also gave timely advice: instead of sighing and complaining, it would be better to think about how to make amends to the other party.

Upon hearing this, Xu Sanshi became incredibly enthusiastic, trying every possible way to compensate Jiang Nannan for the harm she had suffered, while Dugu Yanran became his strategist, offering him advice.

The two thus became very good friends. As they spent more time together, Dugu Yanran began to develop feelings for Xu Sanshi, after all, she had seen his desire to make amends and take responsibility.

Unfortunately, his heart wasn't with her, so Dugu Yanran kept her feelings hidden until the day Xu Sanshi confessed his love to her.

Dugu Yanran was very surprised to receive Xu Sanshi's confession, because she had always thought that the person he liked was Jiang Nannan, whom he had always wanted to make up for, since she was inferior to him in both appearance and talent.

In fact, Xu Sanshi did have feelings for Jiang Nannan, but through long-term contact with her, he realized that Jiang Nannan only had a normal friendship with him. At the same time, Jiang Nannan had someone she liked, and that person was someone Xu Sanshi could never compare to in his entire life.

Upon learning of this, Xu Sanshi unusually backed down and chose to let go of his unrealistic feelings. After all, without Xu Xingyu, he might have unknowingly ruined Jiang Nannan's life.

Therefore, he was very grateful to Xu Xingyu, because if that thing had really happened, he wouldn't even have been qualified to be friends with Jiang Nannan.

After letting go of his feelings for Jiang Nannan, Xu Sanshi gradually realized that Dugu Yanran also had certain feelings for him, which made him recall that he had been taking care of her all these years.

It would be a lie to say that he didn't realize Dugu Yanran's feelings for him, but because he was deeply attracted to Jiang Nannan at the time, he didn't take those feelings to heart.

Looking back on himself at that time, Xu Sanshi probably really was a bastard, right? After all, he said he would make it up to a girl for his mistakes, but then he took advantage of another girl's feelings for him to achieve his own goals.

It was because he realized this fact that Xu Sanshi felt that he was no different from the Grand Elder back then. This thought made him extremely angry because he did not want to become the kind of person who would casually sacrifice innocent lives for the sake of the family's future.

In order to bid farewell to that version of himself, Xu Sanshi confessed his love to Dugu Yanran and vowed to do everything in his power to take care of her for the rest of her life.

Dugu Yanran did not immediately accept Xu Sanshi's confession. Although she did not know why he had let go of his feelings for Jiang Nannan, she was certain that he was not confessing to her because he liked her.

Therefore, she could only reluctantly reject Xu Sanshi's confession. Xu Sanshi knew that Dugu Yanran might have sensed something, so he was not too surprised or disappointed by the result.

Instead, after being rejected by Dugu Yanran, Xu Sanshi declared that he would prove himself to be a man worthy of her lifelong devotion and began a year-long pursuit of Dugu Yanran.

In the end, Dugu Yanran could not resist Xu Sanshi's advances and accepted his feelings a year ago, becoming his boyfriend.

After the two confirmed their relationship, their families applauded and approved of their feelings, and immediately arranged their engagement, making them an officially engaged couple.

As for the so-called second martial soul awakening ceremony of the Xuanming Sect, Xu Sanshi did not carry out this ceremony during his coming-of-age ceremony because of his own rejection of it and because he had awakened the Xuanwu bloodline by absorbing the Xuan Snake soul spirit. Instead, he planned to carry it out on their wedding night.

After all, he didn't want to take away the most important thing from his lover under the pretext of purifying his bloodline; instead, he wanted her to perform the ritual because of their relationship.

In short, matters like martial soul evolution and bloodline purification are secondary; what matters is that the feelings between the two are true love!

After hearing the story of the tortoise and the snake, and looking at Xu Sanshi and Dugu Yanran flirting, Xu Xingyu couldn't help but sigh at Xu Sanshi's romantic experience.

To be fair, having read the original novel, Xu Xingyu's feelings for Xu Sanshi are very complicated: on the one hand, he dislikes Xu Sanshi because his own mistake has left Jiang Nannan with an unforgettable psychological trauma; but at the same time, he also admires Xu Sanshi's desire to make amends and his persistent pursuit of her.

After all, this also shows that he may have really realized what he had done that was so despicable, and was reflecting on it.

Of course, this doesn't change the seriousness of the matter. Furthermore, his penchant for making frivolous remarks caused his image to plummet. Therefore, it's understandable that many people disliked Xu Sanshi in the original novel.

However, when Xu Xingyu thought about the people in her family, she realized that she wasn't much better off herself.

After all, no matter how bad Xu Sanshi's personality and behavior were, he was at least devoted to one person.

And Xu Xingyu is theoretically already juggling four relationships... no... if you include the one he met today, he's probably juggling five.

The only thing that made him feel fortunate was that his first wife didn't object to this kind of issue, but she should be careful in the future, otherwise he might be cut into several pieces one day.

Thinking of this, Xu Xingyu could only walk with heavy steps, supported by two stunning beauties, towards the dormitory, while praying in his heart that he wouldn't accidentally add any more color to his wife's hair.

After all, Gu Yuena has sacrificed so much for him, it's not right for him to keep having affairs outside!

I can only hope that my life at Shrek Academy will be relatively peaceful.

However, Xu Xingyu forgot one thing: there is no such thing as a peaceful life at Shrek Academy. Therefore, his future will inevitably be filled with all sorts of uncontrollable factors.
