Douluo Continent II: The Dragon Breaks the Nine Heavens

Chapter 73 The Golden Dragon King Misled Me! (Part 1)

From today onwards, Zheng Xiaolong has changed a lot.

Aside from maintaining absolute admiration and respect for Lin Yun, he no longer placed himself in a lower position in front of everyone as he had before.

When a person's mindset changes, their spirit and energy also change. Just as Lin Yun said, only when Zheng Xiaolong believes in himself will the goddess of fortune in his heart favor him.

"Don't hesitate, come on! Let me see how your lucky star is smiling on you!" Lin Yun stood opposite Zheng Xiaolong and encouraged him with a smile.

Zheng Xiaolong took a deep breath, stretched out his hand, pressed his thumb against his index finger, and flicked it lightly, sending the coin placed on his fingernail flying.

"Lady Luck is smiling!" Zheng Xiaolong murmured to himself, then caught the lucky coin falling from the sky, while his soul power suddenly surged out of his body.

This feeling...

Lucky Coin activated! 100% boost!

Zheng Xiaolong opened his palm, looked at the lucky coin facing up in his hand, and tears welled up in his eyes.

"Lady Fortune is smiling upon us!"

"Lady Fortune is smiling upon us!"

"..."

He activated his soul skill eight times in a row, each time facing upwards, and each time with a 100% enhancement!

Zheng Xiaolong, whose soul power had been drained, sat down on the ground with a thud, but a hearty smile appeared on his pale face.

"Boss, I did it!"

……

Whether it was due to a change in mindset or Zheng Xiaolong's fanatical worship of Lin Yun, the success rate of his auxiliary soul skills used on Lin Yun was completely opposite to that used on others.

If Zheng Xiaolong used his soul skill on someone else, he would be lucky to get a 100% amplification once out of ten uses. But when he used it on Lin Yun, almost all ten uses would trigger a 100% amplification.

Over the next few days, Lin Yun and Zheng Xiaolong tried a total of thirty times, but only twice did they manage to reduce the amplification by 80%.

This success rate is practically the same as 100%.

Strangely, he only had such a high success rate when he used his soul skill on Lin Yun. If the target was Xiao Xiao, the success rate would drop back to its previous low level.

Huh...?

Lin Yun was numb, and Xiao Xiao was numb too.

Only Zheng Xiaolong seemed to take it all for granted, as if he thought there was absolutely nothing wrong with this situation and that this was the only reasonable thing to do.

After the experiment was completed, Lin Yun's gaze towards Zheng Xiaolong became strange. He quickly hid behind Xiao Xiao, cautiously peeking out with his eyes.

"Alright, Longzai, now that you've finished experimenting with the soul skills, you can go back now. There's no need for further training. Just fight during the freshman assessment." With Xiao Xiao as a shield, Lin Yun felt much more at ease. He was just afraid that Zheng Xiaolong would suddenly become disgusting.

Zheng Xiaolong scratched his head, somewhat confused, and said, "Okay, boss, I'll be going now."

Only after Zheng Xiaolong's figure disappeared from sight did Lin Yun step out from behind Xiao Xiao and let out a long sigh of relief.

Xiao Xiao was completely baffled by Lin Yun's seemingly random actions.

"What's wrong with you?" Xiao Xiao asked, somewhat bewildered.

"Do you still remember that book, 'The Harmony of Dragon and Phoenix'?" Lin Yun asked softly.

"I remember, the dragon and the phoenix and... pfft~" Xiao Xiao was about to nod when she burst out laughing, her eyes teasing, "Our strongest freshman king is indeed incredibly charming, captivating both men and women~"

"Giggle giggle..."

Snap... It's hard now, my fist is hard!

Lin Yun narrowed his eyes, his expression somewhat sinister, and leaned closer to Xiao Xiao: "Oh, is it that funny?"

"Uh..." Xiao Xiao's breath hitched. She looked up at Lin Yun, who was looking down at her, and suddenly felt a suffocating sense of oppression.

"So tall, so big! It'll break, won't it?" Xiao Xiao's devilish eyes suddenly went vacant, and her expression became adorably naive.

"miscellaneous……"

"oops!"

Before Xiao Xiao could finish speaking, Lin Yun reached out and scooped her up on his shoulder. The sudden feeling of weightlessness made her instinctively gasp.

"The ultimate fate of little devils is to be stuffed into cream puffs, right, Xiao Xiao?" Lin Yun said in a low voice, carrying Xiao Xiao towards a deserted corner of the campus.

Those in Class 8 who witnessed this scene quickly turned their heads away, pretending they were blind and deaf, and that they hadn't seen who had just walked past or heard any sound.

What? You're saying someone just walked by?

No!

"Ah...no! Not there...!"

……

After a long while.

Who's there?!

"!" Xiao Xiao, who was being carried on Lin Yun's shoulder, immediately stiffened. Her pretty and sweet face was flushed with a charming blush in the blink of an eye, and steam rose from her head.

"No...no, we're still young, we'll break!" Xiao Xiao twisted her body, trying to struggle, but Lin Yun's hand around her waist was as still as if it were cast in bronze and iron.

Faced with Xiao Xiao's weak and powerless struggle, Lin Yun only chuckled softly twice, then turned around and went into a small dark room.

"..."

Xiao Xiao used her last bit of strength to push Lin Yun away. Her two slender, long legs went weak, and she sat down on the ground, panting heavily. She was so weak that she didn't even have the energy to straighten her slightly disheveled school uniform.

Lin Yun smacked his lips, savoring the sweet taste for a moment, then sat down next to Xiao Xiao and pulled her into his arms.

"You're lucky, this is my first kiss." Lin Yun tilted his head and winked at Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao blushed, and the little loli instantly transformed into a steampunk princess.

"You big pervert! This is my first kiss..." Xiao Xiao tightened her dress, which Lin Yun had messed up, her watery eyes filled with shyness, mixed with a hint of sweetness.

How could it not be sweet?

As a staunch believer in good looks, Xiao Xiao was captivated by Lin Yun's handsome face—a face comparable to that of the readers—from the moment she saw him on the bulletin board at the start of the semester. Unlike Ning Tian's complicated feelings, Xiao Xiao simply liked Lin Yun.

During their three months together, Xiao Xiao had subtly asked Lin Yun if he wanted to date her, but Lin Yun never gave a direct answer.

Now that they're already kissing, what could be a more direct response?

Xiao Xiao's shy and charming appearance made Lin Yun's heart skip a beat, and he quickly turned his head away.

Although Soul Masters in Douluo Continent develop much earlier than those on Earth, after being nourished by two hundred-year Soul Rings, Xiao Xiao is no different from a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl on Earth, but she is still young after all!

How can a little girl this age exude such a charming and alluring aura?!

"Ahem, alright, let's get out of here quickly, it's not good to be away for too long." Lin Yun hurriedly got up, pulled Xiao Xiao up from the ground, dusted himself off, and fled in a panic.

Very well, so dragons are inherently lewd, huh? My mind is full of lust right now, and I can't help but think that it's all because of the Golden Dragon King's bloodline!

The Golden Dragon King has ruined me!

Xiao Xiao pursed her lips, looked at Lin Yun's somewhat disheveled back, and burst out laughing.

"When did you start caring about skipping class? Isn't that something you do all the time?" The little girl's soft voice echoed in the dark room.

Light footsteps sounded, and only a lingering fragrance told of the springtime that had passed here.
