"Hmph!"
Dugu Yan's face turned cold as she spoke:
"This damn bastard!"
"I'm not leaving. I'll stay here and wait for him to come. Let's see what he can do. How is he going to beat me at the Heaven Dou Academy?"
Ye Lingling's expression was complicated, and she persuaded:
"Yan Zi, I think you should not be too careless. You've seen his diary, right?"
"He's definitely not simple, and! If he says he'll come to beat you, he's 100% confident he can do it."
Dugu Yan gave a wicked smile and replied:
"You're so silly! Of course I won't just wait for him to do something. I'm going to send someone to find my grandfather and have him teach him a lesson!"
"Didn't he claim to be a time traveler? Let's see if he can predict that my grandfather will be there. His expression should be priceless when he realizes that!"
Ye Lingling let out a sigh of relief after hearing Dugu Yan's words and said:
"Yan Zi, you're so naughty!"
"Hehe!"
Dugu Yan wrapped her arms around Ye Lingling and said with a wicked smile:
"When that bastard arrives, I'll have my grandfather catch him and make him work for us. Then, we'll have him calculate where our true destiny lies!"
Meanwhile, Su Chen was still unaware that he had already been marked by Dugu Yan.
He had fallen asleep by now.
Get on the carriage, sleep. Get off the carriage, pee. That's the proper way to travel!
The carriage was speeding along.
Hu Liena was sitting in the middle. Seeing Su Chen dozing off beside her, his head bobbing with the motion of the carriage, she hesitated for a moment before quietly moving closer to him, letting him rest his head on her soft shoulder so he could sleep more comfortably.
At the same time, Hu Liena quietly looked at Su Chen's handsome face. Her body softened, and her ears turned a light pink.
"Oh my!"
"Am I really a lovesick fool?"
"Is this being too forward? Will he notice? Will he think I'm too casual? I really don't seem reserved enough..."
Hu Liena's heart began to panic. Quickly, she began to comfort herself: I'm doing this to repay the teacher's kindness, and I accepted the teacher's mission. Right!
I'm doing this to get closer to him!
No! I have an agenda!
I'm not even looking at his good looks… it's all for the Wuhun Hall, long live Wuhun Hall!
Yue Guan and Gui Mei exchanged strange glances, quietly observing Hu Liena's small gestures.
However, neither of them spoke. They weren't clear on the purpose of this mission, but Bibi Dong had instructed them to follow Hu Liena's orders.
Especially when it came to anything involving Su Chen, they couldn't make decisions on their own and had to listen to Hu Liena.
Yue Guan looked at Gui Mei with a playful glint in his eyes, as if asking, "What do you think?"
Gui Mei, with a neutral expression, replied with a glance, "I'm just watching."
At this moment, Yan, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and saw Hu Liena far away from him, yet very close to Su Chen… What the hell?
Su Chen, this pretty boy, is actually leaning on Liena's shoulder while sleeping?
What the hell?
Yan nearly exploded with anger. His gaze blazed with fury as he opened his mouth to yell at him.
But then—
Hu Liena suddenly put her index finger to her lips, making a "shh" gesture, and looked at Yan with a threatening expression, as if saying:
"Shh! He's asleep."
"If you dare to speak and wake him up, I'll be done with you!"
Yan was seething with rage!
Damn it!
What the hell!
This useless piece of trash with only level 15 soul power—what gives him the right to lean on Liena's shoulder? What gives him the right to receive Liena's favor?
Does being handsome really give him the right to do whatever he wants?
Yan was shaking with rage, his nails digging into his flesh, the fire in his eyes seemed ready to burn everything in the world.
"I hate him!"
"I really hate him!"
At the same time, Xie Yue was also gazing at the scene with complicated feelings. On one hand, he somewhat sympathized with Yan, but on the other, he was puzzled by his sister's behavior.
Has she really fallen for him?
This Su Chen seems ordinary except for his good looks, with only level 15 soul power.
Xie Yue remained silent.
He and Yan had received orders as well—no matter what happened on this trip, everything had to be at Hu Liena's discretion. They had to treat her like Bibi Dong and follow her orders.
Or maybe it was the murderous intent in Yan's eyes?
Su Chen suddenly opened his eyes. In an instant, he was stunned.
What the hell?
How did I end up sleeping on Hu Liena's shoulder? Did I sleep too hard?
Realizing this, Su Chen closed his eyes again and leaned back onto Hu Liena's shoulder, enjoying the fragrance of her hair, the sweet scent of a young girl.
He thought to himself: He would gladly stay in this trance forever.
"This is too much."
Yan suddenly exploded:
"I saw you woke up just now! You… you… you were already asleep, but after waking up, you continued to take advantage of Liena?"
He was so furious that his voice trembled.
For a moment, Yue Guan, Gui Mei, and Xie Yue all turned their eyes to Su Chen and Hu Liena. At this point, Hu Liena's ears turned bright red, and her beautiful face looked like a sweet, red apple.
It was so tempting that one could almost take a bite out of it.
Su Chen pretended to be completely unaware, opening his eyes with a confused expression:
"What happened?"
Yan was shaking with anger, pointing at Su Chen, and said:
"You've gone too far, Su Chen! You need to understand that you're only a level 15 soul master, Liena is not someone you can just get close to!"
"If I see you disrespecting Liena again, I'll make sure to teach you a harsh lesson!"
Su Chen looked at Yan with a strange expression. This guy! Does he have no eyes? It was clearly Hu Liena taking the initiative!
Besides,
You want to teach me a lesson?
Then you better hope your next life is better, because as long as you're born on Douluo Continent, you'll never have the chance.
"Shut up!"
Before Su Chen could speak, Hu Liena's face suddenly turned cold, and she stared at Yan, saying:
"My business is none of your concern. If you keep sticking your nose into it, I'll have Grandpa Ju throw you off this carriage!"
That bastard!
I gathered so much courage to get close to him, and he wakes up to finally understand my feelings and efforts, and you—this bastard—ruined it all.
Yan was dumbfounded.
Just as he was about to speak, he was met with a glance from Yue Guan, and he immediately swallowed his words.
Because Yue Guan's look made it clear: If Hu Liena spoke, Yue Guan would indeed throw him off the carriage.
It's hard.
Being a dog is really tough.
Yan silently shed tears inside, while thinking, This damn Su Chen, he must have tricked Liena! What does he have? Just his face?
Hmph!
Wait until Liena gets tired of him. She will eventually abandon him. Liena will always be mine!
Although being a dog is tough, he was very talented. See? This is him completing his own self-strategy!
The atmosphere in the carriage was awkward.
Hu Liena was about to say something to Su Chen, but when she turned and saw his eyes looking at her, she remembered their previous intimate moment and immediately lowered her head, blushing.
Su Chen also felt a bit awkward and tried to break the silence:
"Umm... Your carriages in this world sure travel fast!"
