Fun First Day of School; Helping You Out

Ouyang Mansion, Tiandou City.

"Huh? What did you say?"

Upon learning of Emperor Xueye's decision from Qian Renxue, Ouyang Ling was utterly shocked. "He actually wants to bestow a marriage upon me?!"

"yes."

Qian Renxue sipped her fragrant tea, her face remaining expressionless.

"It's Xue Ke, the Empire's only princess."

"Who cares about this Princess Ke or that Princess. In other words, Emperor Xueye actually wants to trap me."

With just a little thought, Ouyang Ling could easily guess Emperor Xueye's purpose.

"It seems he has a good eye."

"Really?"

Qian Renxue paused slightly, her hand fiddling with the teacup lid. Though her gaze remained seemingly fixed straight ahead, a subtle glance lingered. "But I refused. Xiao Ling, you won't blame me, will you?"

"If you've already refused, then you've refused."

Ouyang Ling, oblivious to Qian Renxue's unease, waved his hand dismissively. "She's just a princess of an empire. If we really had that kind of relationship, it would be difficult to harm her once your identity is revealed, Sister Xue'er."

"laugh--"

The sudden smile was tinged with relief.

"Don't you know how to cherish a woman?"

Ouyang Ling shook his head and said nothing more.

Showing pity and tenderness to a beautiful woman?

What is that?

Xue Ke's identity will become a problem in the future.

Although in the end we may have to spare her life to show our benevolence and allow her to die peacefully, what if we really have a marriage agreement?

That would make things difficult.

Besides, she doesn't like girls younger than him. He prefers older girls, like…

Cough!

You know everything.

Just as Ouyang Ling's slightly "uneasy" thoughts were swirling within her, Qian Renxue also withdrew her gaze with satisfaction. Unaware of anyone else's presence, she straightened her chest, feeling the softness of the flowers. In a voice only she could hear, she said, "I passed."

"Huh? Sister Xue'er, what did you say?"

"I wasn't calling you, I was just talking to myself."

"I see..." Ouyang Ling, who had just noticed something amiss, looked away, but then suddenly remembered something, "By the way, have the Acacia Heartbreak Red flowers bloomed yet?"

Qian Renxue: "..."

"Sister Xue'er?" Ouyang Ling asked again.

Who would have thought…

"So verbose!"

"Huh—, what happened!?"

……

Heavenly Dou Royal Academy

A new year has arrived, and it's that most important time of the academic year again. This time, not only are returning students coming back from their semester break, but also a new batch of students are arriving to register and begin their studies.

The guy who had been on leave for half a year returned here today to his loyal Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Suddenly, a guy jumped out:

"Your eldest brother, Ouyang Ling, is back!"

"Get out of my way!"

Facing the gazes of both freshmen and seniors, and suppressing the embarrassment and shame welling up inside him, Ouyang Ling slapped Yu Feng hard on the back of the head, causing him to stumble and nearly fall flat on his face, making him a truly "eye-catching" figure.

"Ouch—, that hurts!"

"Ha—serves you right."

Oslo glanced at Yu Feng, who was clutching the back of his head, and mocked him mercilessly. As usual, this immediately ignited Yu Feng's anger.

Ignoring the pain and the stares of others, Yu Feng yelled and shoved his forehead into Oslo's.

"Leopard, do you want to be scolded?!"

Come on!

As the two were grappling with their heads, Ouyang Ling slipped his hand between their heads, effortlessly separating them. His gaze, however, was full of mockery. "What? Trying to distract me?"

Oslo, Yufeng: "..."

Oh no, we've been seen through!

Cold sweat instantly poured down their foreheads. The next second, they exclaimed almost simultaneously, "It was his idea!" x2

The two of them pointed at each other.

Ouyang Ling's fangs flashed as he said, "..."

Do you think I would believe that?

He didn't say those words aloud, but a single look was enough for the two of them to understand what he meant.

Oslo and Yufeng exchanged a glance, and then...

Shaking his head, shaking his head, shaking his head repeatedly.

"Then you just wait and see."

To avoid making a fool of themselves in front of others—and of course, they'd already made enough of a fool of themselves—Ouyang Ling decided to be forgiving and resolve the matter privately.

So he placed his left and right hands on their shoulders, applying only slight pressure at the fingertips, "Snap—"

The sound was like bones cracking, and Oslo and Yufeng's faces turned deathly pale. "I still have your letters, and I remember their contents. Sometimes... don't court death."

"Slap slap—"

With a final, gentle pat, he released the two. As he walked toward Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan, he said to Ye Lingling, "Lingling, could you please do them a favor?"

"good…"

Seeing Oslo and Yufeng collapsing, Ye Lingling expertly treated them.

Meanwhile, in front of the crowd watching nearby, the Shi brothers, Jin Haoran, were communicating with them. It's unclear which of the older brothers came up with the idea.

People who are quiet and reserved should engage in conversation...

Is this a joke?!

"But I think it's very effective."

After listening to Ouyang Ling's complaints, Yu Tianheng pointed in the direction of the Shi brothers, and saw that none of them looked at them anymore.

"See, it works great!"

"That's because there's no good show to watch."

Ouyang Ling gave him a half-moon look, slightly speechless.

"Oh, they're all the same."

Yu Tianheng waved his hand, then looked Ouyang Ling up and down with a curious gaze. "Speaking of which, are you even human?"

Ouyang Ling was speechless.

Why are you swearing?

"But your situation doesn't really relate to that at all!"

Recalling what Dugu Yan had told him a few days ago, Yu Tianheng felt a wave of numbness. "You were five or six grades below me a year ago, and now, just a year later, you're actually ahead of me?!"

Every time he thinks about this, he feels despair!

A profound despair!

Ouyang Ling: "..."

Look at the mess this has made...

But I definitely can't tell the truth.

So Ouyang Ling laughed and said, "It's all luck. After all, I have my grandfather, Dugu, guiding me, and the cultivation environment is indeed very suitable for me."

Yu Tianheng responded with an eye roll:

Because of a Title Douluo? Do you think I'm some grandpa who isn't a Title Douluo? And the environment... do you think that's a fairyland?

However, Yu Tianheng's little trick was clearly noticed by Dugu Yan. This caused her, who had been standing to the side smiling silently, to furrow her brows slightly, and then, under a gloating gaze…

"Ouch—, wild goose, it hurts!"

The soft flesh was pinched and twisted violently.

Despite her pleas for mercy, Dugu Yan refused to relent.

"What's with that look you're giving me?"

"This is boring, boring, hurry up!"

Yu Tianheng was on the verge of tears and reached out to Ouyang Ling.

Bro, help me out!

However, Ouyang Ling looked up at that moment:

That sky was truly vast.

Anyway, after this "fun" little episode, the atmosphere between Ouyang Ling and the others was incredibly lively. They chatted and joked as they walked towards their dormitory.

But as they were about to part ways, Yu Feng couldn't help but sigh, "Sigh, things are getting worse and worse."

One sentence was enough to attract the attention of the other seven people.

Why is this bad?

Then Yu Feng continued, "First it was the eldest brother, then the eldest sister, and then Shi Mo and Shi Mo also broke through to the Soul Master level with the help of their Martial Soul Fusion Skill. This semester, Ling is also going to enter the Heaven Dou level. There are even rumors that Teacher Qin Ming is also going to be promoted..."

"OMG!"

Thinking of this, he grabbed his hair and let out a wail!

"Now only the three of us—me, Leopard, and Lingling—are left in Class 1 of the Heavenly Grade! It feels like we've been abandoned! I can't bear to part with them!"

The other seven people: "..."

Speechless! Just because of this?

Ouyang Ling observed coldly, commenting after someone's performance: "You were too exaggerated, and your acting was too obvious. And..." He tugged at Yu Feng's upper eyelid, "Couldn't you have shed some tears while howling so loudly? Make a sound!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Feng felt somewhat embarrassed:

"Is that so?"

I didn't realize I had such a big weakness.

Oslo, standing to the side: "..."

How could I possibly stand with such an idiot? Would I be lowering myself because of him?

"Fengzi." At this moment, Dugu Yan crossed her arms and a strange smile appeared on her lips. "I bet you and Leopard are overjoyed, aren't you?"

"How...how could this be?"

Yu Feng broke out in a cold sweat and glanced to the side. Little did he know that Oslo had already retreated more than ten meters away!

Yu Feng: "..."

Leopard! You're a bastard!

After a few muttered curses, Yu Feng put on a forced smile.

"Actually, I'm overjoyed."

"Yeah?"

Just then, Ouyang Ling took out the wooden box.

"I happen to have some good stuff here. Since you're so reluctant to part with me, I'll lend you a hand."

Yu Feng and the others were completely bewildered: "..."

Help? How can I help?

The moment the wooden box was opened, an enticing, refreshing fragrance wafted into the nostrils.
