Douluo Continent: We agreed on a simulation, but they've come to life?

In this world, there are too many people who deserve to die for their cruelty. Why would she, with such powerful abilities, choose to trap herself in her own web of evil?

"I have the ability to help you advance to the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline and completely purify all devouring attributes, but Sister Xiaoya, you were born into darkness. Whether it's killing to avenge your sect or eliminating evil soul masters... it means you can no longer be a pure and flawless white lotus, but a black lotus stained with black, blooming in the darkness, eerie and alluring."

Lu Cheng gently lifted the beauty's delicate oval face with his fingers, where two lines of clear tears still lingered.

"Stop believing in the myth of Tang San's Blue Silver Grass. That guy only achieved that because of the Blue Silver Emperor's bloodline. You have your own path to walk. As for whether you will fall into evil, come to me, and I will help you purify yourself..."

With her other hand, she wiped away the tears.

His eyes were full of seriousness.

"Sister Xiaoya, as your friend, I will give you everything you ask for. Your body is not so cheap..."

"Waaaaah..."

Tang Ya's last thread snapped, and she threw herself into Lu Cheng's arms, bursting into tears. She had been tense for too many years; her seemingly lively and cheerful demeanor was all a facade.

Until this moment, she seemed to have found the meaning of her life. She was no longer a walking corpse, but... a living, breathing young girl in the prime of her youth.

"..."

Lu Cheng gently patted the girl's smooth back, his eyes filled with admiration.

As she stood up, the clothes draped over her shoulders fell off again, but Tang Ya didn't care. She sobbed and tightly gripped Lu Cheng's sleeve.

His embrace seemed so warm at that moment.

"I'm sorry, I got your clothes dirty..." Tang Ya no longer avoided Lu Cheng. With a shy look on her face, she put on her inner and outer clothes, and then glanced apologetically at Lu Cheng's chest, which was soaked with her tears.

"I'll go help you wash up."

Before Lu Cheng could refuse, she forcefully ripped off her coat, turned around, and rushed out.

Until they returned to the girls' dormitory.

Tang Ya closed the door, leaned against the wall, and gasped for breath.

What on earth did she do...?

However... she finally saw Lu Cheng's true character today. He ignored such a juicy piece of meat in front of him and calmly told himself that they were friends.

"Just friends?"

Tang Ya's eyes were glazed over as she took out the coat she was clutching in her hand and gently brought it to her nose to sniff.

"I'm not willing to accept this!"

Update Time

Here's an update update: I've updated a total of 16,000 words today, and I can't update any more. I'll update another 10,000 words tomorrow.

Let's move the release time to midnight, and release five chapters at once, or three long chapters. In short, the word count will definitely stay above 10,000 for the next few days.

As for the second simulation, let's postpone it a bit, but not too long. Let's first go through the Shrek Academy storyline.

As for the slow pace... before the book was released, it was almost flying fast. After the book was released, since it was 10,000 words a day, the pace had to be slowed down appropriately. If this speed was still just an outline-style update, then the finale would be reached in a few days.

Therefore, I will interweave some daily life scenes into the main storyline to make it less boring and try to make it more interesting.

Chapter 88 Zhang Lexuan: Am I beautiful?

Shrek City.

Inside a secluded tavern.

"I haven't seen you at the academy these days, where have you been?" Bei Bei, her face flushed with drunkenness, nudged Xu Sanshi.

"I went home. My family had arranged a marriage for me with Jiang Nannan, the most beautiful woman in the outer courtyard. But she refused to acknowledge it. My sect elders went to her door to persuade her, but she had already hooked up with a kid named Lu Cheng. That beast called an inner courtyard disciple, who killed my sect elder... I went back to find my father and get some answers." Xu Sanshi said drunkenly.

"Lu Cheng?!" Bei Bei sobered up a bit instantly.

Xu Sanshi has been away from the academy these days and is unaware of how monstrous that kid is. He was able to kill a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast a few months ago, so he is probably at least comparable to a Soul King or even a Soul Emperor.

"Don't mess with him..." Beibei advised kindly.

“I wish I could kill him, but don’t worry, I know my limits and won’t make a move within the academy.” Xu Sanshi waved his hand, seeing his friend’s furrowed brows, as if he still wanted to persuade him, and said impatiently, “Some things are beyond our control. My father was furious when he found out and threatened to… Sigh, let’s drink, let’s not talk about these things anymore.”

Beibei hesitated, then took a sip of the mellow, sweet wine and forgot what she wanted to say.

……

Shrek Academy Outer Courtyard.

Along the path surrounding Poseidon Lake, the Soul Guide Lights cast clusters of beams of light on the ground below, resembling eye-catching stage theaters.

"Sister Lexuan?"

Beibei, looking quite drunk, walked into the academy arm in arm with Xu Sanshi. When she saw the beautiful woman in front of her, who looked like a fairy, Beibei felt a little guilty and said...

Under the Soul Guiding Lamp, Zhang Lexuan wore a flowing sea-blue dress and high-heeled boots. She had a high nose bridge, an oval face, and seemed to be wearing light makeup. After a long time, her appearance seemed to have become even more stunning and beautiful, but her temperament had lost some of its gentleness and gained some of its sharpness.

He wasn't stupid; he understood that Elder Mu's scheme these past few days was to separate him from Tang Ya and then bring him together with Zhang Lexuan. Naturally, he was extremely unwilling, but he couldn't resist Elder Mu's insistence and could only cooperate helplessly.

Such excessive drinking is obviously inappropriate, and Sister Lexuan standing here, even with makeup on, is clearly waiting for him...

"Tsk tsk~" Xu Sanshi winked with envy and poked Bei Bei's waist. "You're still not satisfied with having such a goddess's favor? Xiao Ya should let go."

“I…” Beibei gave a bitter smile.

It may seem bitter, but there's actually a secret sense of satisfaction in my heart.

"What are you doing here?" Just as the two were hanging their heads and looking down, a surprised female voice rang out from in front of them.

Zhang Lexuan frowned slightly as she looked at the two strange-looking guys who had been making faces at each other ever since they came over.

“Sister Lexuan, you…” Beibei was somewhat taken aback.

They didn't come looking for me?

So who are you looking for in the middle of the night?

"Is something the matter?" Zhang Lexuan asked suspiciously.

“…It’s nothing!” Bei Bei’s eye twitched, feeling frustrated and resentful. She pulled the equally bewildered Xu Sanshi away quickly.

"What's wrong? Is Senior Sister angry with you?" Xu Sanshi asked in a low voice.

"No way... I haven't bothered her recently." Beibei scratched her head, looking a little annoyed.

Logically speaking, the senior sister should have been easily won over, but why... their reunion didn't feel like a long-awaited reunion, but rather like... ordinary strangers. What bothered him the most was Zhang Lexuan's reaction to him just now. It didn't seem like a girl acting out of jealousy, but rather a normal reaction to an ordinary man.

What exactly went wrong?!

Just as Beibei was about to leave, Xu Sanshi suddenly poked him in the groin: "Look behind you!!"

"..."

Beibei turned her head in surprise, but her expression suddenly froze.

Just moments ago, Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan was as aloof as a snow plum blossom, but now she was gently holding a boy's hand, their fingers intertwined? The boy was clearly a head shorter than Sister Lexuan, but she was willing to bend down slightly, lowering her tall figure, just to be level with the boy.

They were far apart and could only vaguely see the boy, but the ambiguity and love-like joy between them were almost overflowing even without seeing their faces.

"Who the hell is this?!" Beibei was getting frantic.

“Beibei, I feel like you’re in some danger…” Xu Sanshi shrank his neck, his eyes looking strange.

"Don't let me catch you." Beibei rubbed her hair fiercely, her eyes glaring.

Now that he had decided to let go of Tang Ya and inherit Shrek Academy, every step had to be meticulously planned and executed without any problems. This was crucial for the future of Shrek Academy and whether it could continue to be stable. He could have been indifferent and played around before, but not now. The pillar that had been his safety net and for Shrek Academy was already halfway to its grave, and he had to take over this heavy responsibility from Elder Mu.

As for Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan, although she is only his future wife, she holds an extremely important position in Shrek Academy's future strategic planning. Even if his strength and talent are enhanced by Mu En's empowerment to improve his martial soul attributes, he still cannot completely secure the position of Sea God Pavilion Master. However, if Zhang Lexuan is there to support him, then probably half of the Sea God Pavilion elders will not say anything.

Only he can control the Sea God Pavilion.

But now, Zhang Lexuan, such an extremely important resource, is not even willing to marry him.

It's even highly likely that... it will leak out.

This is absolutely unacceptable to him and to the entire Shrek Academy.

"..." Beibei clenched her fists, her face full of anger.

We have to find a way to make Sister Lexuan change her mind.

Maybe... she's angry with him?

……

the other side.

Holding the beautiful woman's hand, Lu Cheng sat on a bench nearby, feeling the mist wafting towards him from the Sea God Lake, and felt quite content.

"Who were those two guys just now?" he asked with great interest.

“It’s irrelevant.” Zhang Lexuan’s red lips moved slightly, uttering a pleasant sound.

The beautiful woman's slender, soft hand grasped Lu Cheng's palm, their palms pressed tightly together. Feeling the warmth of their skin touching, Lu Cheng was somewhat dazed.

“In my memory, you brought me here to feel the breeze before. At that time, I was thinking how happy I would be if we could stay together like this forever…” Zhang Lexuan leaned her head lightly on Lu Cheng’s shoulder and spoke softly.

Feeling the faint fragrance of hair wafting into his nostrils, Lu Cheng's eyes were somewhat dazed. "Have you investigated what happened back then?"

"It's all been found out." Zhang Lexuan's voice remained gentle.

"Is the evidence conclusive?"

“Some things don’t need evidence.” Zhang Lexuan’s pale blue eyes flashed with a hint of coldness in the darkness.

"Over the years, what I've been investigating isn't evidence, but what's hidden in my memory. It's not about uncovering secrets, but simply about finding the process with the answers in mind."

"Don't rush to take revenge," Lu Cheng said leisurely.

"Shrek Academy is not a place we can easily mess with. The only way is to accumulate strength or use someone else's strength against them."

Zhang Lexuan glanced at Lu Cheng beside her and noticed that the young man was quite serious. Her heart stirred, and she chuckled softly. She wrapped her fair, lotus-root-like arm around Lu Cheng's neck and lightly pecked his cheek with her red lips.

She shoved her stunningly beautiful face into Lu Cheng's eyes and struck an adorable pose.

"Brother, am I pretty?"

"Hehe...Beautiful, my sister is the most beautiful woman in the world." Lu Cheng said with doting eyes.

"..."
