Douluo Continent II: The Dragon Breaks the Nine Heavens

Chapter 316 It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early

Xiao Xiao's expression stiffened slightly, and her gaze towards Zhang Lexuan suddenly became strange.

Is your offer of help... legitimate?

You're practically saying you're here to steal my husband, aren't you?

Zhang Lexuan naturally noticed the change in Xiao Xiao's expression, but she didn't feel nervous or unnatural at all; her expression remained calm.

"If you're worried that I'll compete with you for Lin Yun, you can rest assured, I have no such intention," Zhang Lexuan said.

She had no interest in interfering in other people's relationships, even though she also had high feelings for Lin Yun. Under Zhang Lexuan's unique self-hypnosis, Lin Yun had almost become her second psychological support besides revenge.

The people in Douluo Continent are really strange; they always seem to have this disease that makes them die if they don't fall in love.

But Zhang Lexuan is an exception. Despite being a love-struck woman, she is not brainless. This can be seen from her attitude towards Beibei. Even though she came first and had the status of a child bride, she was clearly the rightful wife. However, after Beibei chose Tang Ya, she withdrew from the relationship without hesitation.

If it were Gu Yuena, who's obsessed with love, she'd kill anyone who dared to approach Tang Wulin; they'd all die.

There are differences even among those who are obsessed with love.

Zhang Lexuan is a case in point.

She genuinely had no intention of competing with Xiao Xiao for Lin Yun. Her main goal was to help Xiao Xiao find Lin Yun and then try to join the forces behind Lin Yun to take revenge, while she herself would serve Lin Yun.

Of course, joining Lin Yun's forces would give me more opportunities to see him, which is also a good decision.

All I can say is that while she's prone to being in love, she's not overly so.

Xiao Xiao only believed half of what Zhang Lexuan said. It's no wonder she was so alarmed; Lin Yun was practically a succubus, attracting people wherever he went, especially with his handsome face that rivaled that of the readers. Which face-obsessed, love-struck person wouldn't be smitten?

What's more, Lin Yun is quite...philanthropic.

(Lin Yun: I just wanted to give homeless, pretty girls a home.)

Xiao Xiao would never believe that Zhang Lexuan had absolutely no feelings for Lin Yun. It was precisely because she had spent so much time with Lin Yun that she understood just how attractive he was to other women.

But Zhang Lexuan's sincere and frank expression and words left Xiao Xiao completely unable to respond.

So, Xiao Xiao gave up.

She spread her hands and said helplessly, "Although I really want to help you, Sister Lexuan, unfortunately, I don't know where he went, and I don't know where his sect is located."

Yes, I didn't even know myself!

Xiao Xiao smiled, a very sweet smile.

I really can't find an excuse to refuse you, but I really can't help you with this!

I don't even know myself, so how can I tell you?

This time, Zhang Lexuan was speechless. Of course, she could tell that Xiao Xiao wasn't lying; she really didn't know where Lin Yun was.

Zhang Lexuan's mentality is a little broken.

It wasn't that she had any complaints about Xiao Xiao; she just couldn't understand how Xiao Xiao could so confidently and righteously say that she didn't know where her boyfriend lived or where he had gone.

Is it in this river?

"In that case, I'll take my leave." Zhang Lexuan sighed and got up to leave.

Since Xiao Xiao didn't know where Lin Yun was, staying here would only increase her annoyance. Zhang Lexuan also understood that her current identity was very sensitive and could easily arouse the nerves of some people. She couldn't stay here for long, otherwise she might implicate Xiao Xiao's family.

She has never liked to cause trouble for others, let alone such a big trouble that could drag Xiao Xiao's entire family into a vortex.

"No matter what, Xiao Xiao, thank you." "Sister Le Xuan, you're too kind." Xiao Xiao got up to see her off, but as they walked, Xiao Xiao kept worrying because Zhang Le Xuan really didn't seem to be there to steal her husband. What if she really had something to do with Lin Yun? Would it affect Lin Yun if she sent her away?

Xiao Xiao's mind was in complete turmoil.

"Um... Sister Lexuan, actually, Brother Yun will be coming to pick me up from my house in a while, probably in the next few days. Why don't you stay at my house for a few days?" When they reached the door, Xiao Xiao, who had hesitated for a long time, finally spoke up to persuade them to stay.

Zhang Lexuan turned around and looked at Xiao Xiao with some surprise.

She could tell that Xiao Xiao's attitude towards her wasn't very friendly, and she could guess why. It was probably because of her current status, or her instinct to protect her food as a woman, or both.

Zhang Lexuan was surprised that Xiao Xiao would still choose to keep her under these circumstances.

"Thank you, Xiao Xiao, but it's alright. I'll try to find him myself. Don't trouble yourself." Zhang Lexuan smiled gently, waved goodbye to Xiao Xiao, and left with light steps.

Followed by.

Someone arrived just in time.

A golden stream of light descended from the sky and landed between Zhang Lexuan and Xiao Xiao. They looked left and right, tilting their heads with a blank expression.

"Senior Sister, what are you doing here?"

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Zhang Lexuan paused, turned around impatiently, her eyes filled with complex emotions as she looked at Lin Yun's face, which was deeply etched in her heart.

Xiao Xiao's little face puffed up, looking as angry as a little pufferfish.

The little girl was speechless.

"Brother Yun, you..."

"Huh? What's wrong with me?" Lin Yun looked down at the little girl who only reached his chest and asked with a smile, "Did you miss me? Want a hug?"

Before Xiao Xiao could answer, Lin Yun reached out and pulled her petite body into his arms.

Xiao Xiao's resentment vanished instantly. She spat softly and then obediently leaned into his arms.

After returning from Shrek Academy, Lin Yun originally said he would come to find her soon. However, due to his deep meditation, Lin Yun slept for three months. Xiao Xiao also stayed at home for three months, afraid that if she went out, Lin Yun would arrive and she would not be able to find him.

Unfortunately, Lin Yun arrived at the perfect time, just when Zhang Lexuan was about to leave.

Is this a coincidence or premeditated?

The little girl was so jealous she spilled her vinegar jar.

Fortunately, Lin Yun's succubus embrace was powerful enough that Xiao Xiao became dizzy and smitten as soon as she smelled Lin Yun's scent.

Only Zhang Lexuan seems to have become a "loser" again, as if she has experienced this kind of plot somewhere before.

She used to watch Beibei and Tang Ya hug, and now she's watching Lin Yun and Xiao Xiao hug. Zhang Lexuan is almost turning to the dark side.

Why am I always one step behind?

It hurts, it hurts too much!
