Douluo Continent II: The Dragon Breaks the Nine Heavens

Chapter 42 A Certain Idiot Writer

Because Zhou Yi was sent to the ICU by Lin Yun, the first day of classes for Class 1 out of the ten first-year classes ended abruptly.

Led by Lin Yun, the students in Class 1 took turns introducing themselves and getting to know each other briefly before disbanding and leaving the classroom.

In the days that followed, not only the more than 1,000 first-year students frequently heard the words "Strongest Freshman King," but Lin Yun's reputation also spread widely among the upperclassmen.

As for Jiang Nannan, who greeted Lin Yun during registration, someone leaked the information, and it was rumored that she was Lin Yun's best friend at Shrek Academy.

then……

Xu Sanshi exploded.

"Damn it, Beibei, don't stop me! I'm going to challenge that freshman to a duel!" Xu Sanshi struggled frantically, his eyes red.

Meanwhile, Beibei had one hand locked around Xu Sanshi's neck, while the other hand helplessly covered her forehead.

"Sanshi, give up. There's no need for you to fight a battle you can't win!" Beibei said with a sorrowful expression.

"Can't win at all? I don't understand!" Xu Sanshi clenched his fists, his eyes bloodshot. "Beibei, you know how I feel about Nannan. Anyone who wants to take Nannan away will have to step over my dead body!"

"But Lin Yun has an ultimate martial soul! His soul rings are two purple and one black!" Bei Bei sighed and released the hand that was choking Xu Sanshi.

After being released, Xu Sanshi lost his previous impulse and sat helplessly on the bed, his face full of despair.

"Beibei, I've lived my whole life on thin ice..." Recalling the mistakes he made when he was young and ignorant, and how he had been so cautious and timid, afraid of offending the beauty, Xu Sanshi couldn't help but shed tears.

"Do you think... I can get to the other side?"

Beibei's lips twitched violently; he felt he couldn't keep up the act any longer.

"Sanshi, you're clearly not bad. Aside from occasionally acting like a jerk, your kindness to Nannan is obvious to everyone. So why won't she accept you?" Beibei looked Xu Sanshi up and down and asked with great confusion.

"Did something happen between you two before?"

Xu Sanshi, who was still feeling down, shuddered upon hearing Bei Bei's question and shook his head frantically, saying, "No, I can't say! If I do, Nan Nan will kill me!"

"Then there's nothing I can do. Good luck to you." Beibei shrugged. "But don't take the rumors too seriously. Nannan and I are in the same class, and I haven't seen her meet that freshman since the start of the semester. This is probably just a rumor."

"I'm not going to talk to you anymore. Xiaoya is going to help my junior brother with the barbecue stall issue tonight. I have to go check on it. I won't argue with you here."

Beibei waved and left the dormitory.

Xu Sanshi was left sitting on the bed, looking conflicted and struggling.

How could he not know what Beibei was saying?

Xu Sanshi was afraid that the rumors would become the truth as they were spread!

"No, Nannan can only be mine. I have to do something!" Xu Sanshi's eyes hardened, and he stood up abruptly and left the dormitory as well.

Because Zhou Yi was punched twice by Lin Yunbang, her classes for the past few days have been taught by a gentle female teacher. Huo Yuhao did not set up a stall outside on the first day of school as he usually would, but instead went to school obediently.

Most importantly, with this unexpected turn of events at the start of the school year, he wasn't in the mood to make grilled fish until things calmed down, at which point the idea resurfaced.

I can't help but want to!

He didn't have much money to begin with, and these past two days he'd only been able to afford the cheapest meals in the cafeteria. His wallet was practically empty; if he didn't start earning money soon, he figured he'd starve. After Huo Yuhao met Tang Ya, the Tang Sect leader felt a little embarrassed.

She and Bei Bei only paid the registration fee for Huo Yuhao; they didn't care at all how Huo Yuhao survived in the academy afterwards.

This is definitely a pyramid scheme...

Feeling a little guilty, Tang Ya quickly settled everything for Huo Yuhao, just waiting for him to come to the snack street after class tonight and show off his skills.

As for Lin Yun...

"Bing'er, have you found that person?" Lin Yun, sitting by the window, rested his chin on one hand and gently stroked a bright green scorpion lying on his leg with the other, and asked casually.

"Your Majesty, the Demon King says it will take some more time!" the Ice Emperor said. "That man is idle and has no fixed abode. He doesn't have any close friends, so it will be quite difficult to find him."

"Yes, I understand, so there's no rush. Just bring me that person who uses the pen name Qingye!" Lin Yun's lips curled into a strange smile.

There are few entertainment activities in Douluo Continent, but there are still novels and storybooks. Among them is a writer named Qingye, whom Lin Yun thinks has a promising future.

After reading just one of those ridiculous novels, Lin Yun almost couldn't resist turning Hyotei into a little girl and taking her for himself on the spot.

His writing style is so damn saccharine! There are even quite a few illustrations he drew himself in the picture book, which makes you feel completely immersed.

Lin Yun needed just such talent, which was related to his subsequent mental torment of Zhou Yi.

"Hehehehe, Shrek, get ready for the big gift I'm about to give you!" A sinister and evil laugh echoed, making even the black cats passing by outside the window tremble with fear.

Hyotei shrank into a ball, her small, bright yellow eyes filled with fear as she looked at Lin Yun.

As expected of His Majesty, even his laughter is so oppressive!

"Come on, we've got nothing to do, let's go out and get something good to eat!" Lin Yun got up and stretched, and Hyotei obediently climbed off his lap and into his clothes, hiding herself away.

As a popular figure among the freshmen, Lin Yun is now surrounded by crowds wherever he goes, which annoys him greatly. Every time he goes to the cafeteria, a lot of eyes are focused on him, making it difficult for him to eat in peace.

He especially loved to eat, and having not had enough to eat in the cafeteria, he soon got hungry again.

"It seems like Huo Gua is going out to sell grilled fish again today? I'll go check it out and try this grilled fish that's been hyped up so much in the original story. I wonder how delicious it is." Lin Yun murmured to himself.

Lin Yun leisurely entered through the back door of Shrek Academy and arrived at the legendary snack street that existed in all the heavens and myriad worlds, where he began a thorough sweep.

Most of the vendors here are Shrek Academy students from relatively poor families, like Huo Yuhao, trying to earn some living expenses. So their prices aren't too high and are within the normal range. The constant flow of people, with people bumping into each other, also meant that many people didn't notice Lin Yun.

He enjoyed his meal very much.

Finally, after taking a big bite of the skewer in his hand, he saw a familiar figure.

It's you! Huo Grilled Fish!
