Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting
chapter-136

Straight ahead of Nana’s dorm were a few teaching blocks. In terms of the size of the academy, Lan Xuanyu figured that it was larger than Heaven Luo Institute.

After passing through a forest, the scenery before him expanded to a wide panorama of a crystal clear lake. On the other side of the lake was a plaza where students were leaving the buildings in groups of twos and threes. It seemed as though they had just finished a class.

Dong Qianqiu walked along the lake towards the plaza, with Lan Xuanyu behind her. He anticipated that the girl had called him out to take revenge on him.

Upon recalling Dong Qianqiu’s strength, he was inwardly cautious. He did not have the absolute confidence of defeating Dong Qianqiu.

One has to know that while Lu Qianxun had one soul ring, Dong Qianqiu was already a Soul Master with two soul rings. Lan Xuanyu reckoned that, by now, she was already a Soul Elder with three soul rings. In contrast, he had not even broken through the two soul rings realm yet. The disparity was too much, and unless he utilized his unique martial soul fusion technique, he would not be able to beat her. However, she would not brazenly take action inside the academy either.

Excluding their cultivation, Lan Xuanyu was rather confident in his abilities, especially in the footwork that Nana had taught him. In the past few years, he had become extremely adept at it. If he could not defeat his opponent, he could always run.

While thinking about how to deal with Dong Qianqiu’s upcoming “revenge”, the two slowly went around the lake and arrived at the plaza.

There were many students at Heaven Dou Academy. Or at the very least, Lan Xuanyu saw that they had even more students than Heaven Luo Institute. There were students of different ages, but Lan Xuanyu figured that he was in the elementary institute, where the majority of the students were around his age.

While Lan Xuanyu was observing his surroundings, Dong Qianqiu suddenly stopped and turned to look at him.

She smiled and called out his name, “Lan Xuanyu.”

It has to be said, she was truly beautiful. She was the most beautiful girl Lan Xuanyu had met of the same age. With the crystal clear lake and tall building as her background, she stood there with a timely smile as she called out his name. This stunned him for a moment, as though something within his heart was stirred.

In the next instant, Dong Qianqiu actually walked towards him and held his arm before bringing him towards the plaza.

Lan Xuanyu felt his entire body freeze. It was his first time interacting so closely with a girl. Furthermore, she was a very pretty girl.

The light fragrance on her body and her graceful bearing made her feel like a white rose. She was slightly taller than him, as girls mature earlier than boys, and she was already presenting the charms of a young lady.

Lan Xuanyu truly became nervous, for he suddenly understood Dong Qianqiu’s goal.

From the moment they walked into the plaza to when Dong Qianqiu called out to him and took the initiative to hold onto his arm, their entire surroundings turned silent. That’s right, Lan Xuanyu was able to sense that the originally noisy plaza had become quiet.

Countless eyes landed on them. There was astonishment and shock. Some covered their mouths while even more showed anger. If looks could kill, he would have died countless times over.

In fact, Dong Qianqiu herself was feeling uncomfortable. When had she ever experienced being so close to a boy before? She indeed wanted to seek revenge on Lan Xuanyu, but upon seeing how much Nana adored him and not wanting for Nana to scold her, she thought of this plan.

But the instant she hugged onto his arm, she immediately felt a burst of emotion that came from his body, causing her to flush red hot. It was not truly hot, but a sense of emotion. He had a nice warmth to him, just like the sun. His arm was rugged, yet flexible and emitted a warmth that was new to her. It was only a touch, but Dong Qianqiu’s face flushed red.

She thought to herself, ‘Am I crazy? How is this revenge if he is taking advantage of me again? How did I end up like this?’

She raised her head up to glance at him and caught his side view. He was rather good looking. He was a boy, why were his eyelashes so long?

She was unaware that if it was anyone but Lan Xuanyu, she might never have thought to do such a thing. It was because the young man before her was too good looking, hence she did not reject him.

Only the two were aware of their own thoughts. But it was completely different to the other students staring at them.

A beautiful smile and a bashful face. Was that really Dong Qianqiu? The undefeated girl of her level, the young lady who was always cold and indifferent?

Dong Qianqiu’s beauty had attracted many guys their age. Naturally, she became known as the school’s goddess, especially when her figure gradually grew in the past two years. She already had the figure and looks of a young lady, so she even attracted the older grade students. Although she was only 12, she had received countless love letters.

It was to such an extent that one day, she took the opportunity when the teacher hadn’t arrived yet to go over to the podium and write out the words ‘No puppy love!’ on the blackboard.

After that, she threw all the love letters into a bin.

This shocked the entire school.

So when the students saw her actually initiating affectionate gestures on Lan Xuanyu, how could they not be shocked?

Gradually, the shocked gazes turned into looks that could kill. All of them were aimed at Lan Xuanyu’s body.

Lan Xuanyu was also very good looking! The female students all glared at Dong Qianqiu in envy.

Maybe the two looked extremely compatible, for the boys all turned mad with jealousy.

Dong Qianqiu became slightly regretful. There were too many people here; would it provoke too much trouble and end badly? It must have been his side view that caused her heart to turn soft. She subconsciously released Lan Xuanyu’s arm.

 ‘Forget it, I shouldn’t take revenge on him. Let’s just go.’

However, just when the thought surfaced, Lan Xuanyu made a move. He turned halfway and faced her directly. Under everyone’s glares, he held onto her waist, lowered his head and, pausing for a moment, planted a kiss on her soft cheek.

That’s right, a kiss…

He actually kissed her!

The hateful glares around all turned lifeless. It was truly a thousand staring eyes; they were on the public square!

As though struck by a petrification spell, Dong Qianqiu froze under his kiss. A burst of heat spread throughout her entire body and caused her to tremble. For the moment, she was completely stupefied.

“How sweet!” Lan Xuanyu subconsciously muttered, releasing his hand before she could speak up. He turned towards the plaza and shouted, “I am Dong Qianqiu’s boyfriend. My name is Lan Xuanyu. Anyone who isn’t convinced can come up to fight me!”

Lan Xuanyu had a teacher called Yin Tianfan, who had a nickname called the Elusive Fox.

He not only gained Yin Tianfan’s knowledge but also the Elusive Fox’s cunning wit.

When Lan Xuanyu discovered Dong Qianqiu’s plan and saw the situation before him, he knew that it was no longer possible for him to run. But why run? Wouldn’t that be disgracing Teacher Nana?

So he changed his thoughts and decided to give Dong Qianqiu a taste of her own medicine. ‘Didn’t you hold onto my arm and act intimate with me? Fine, I’ll go along with your plan.’

When he held onto her and lowered his head, his initial goal was her soft and supple lips, but he quickly retreated because he was able to tell from Dong Qianqiu’s previous reaction that kissing her on the lips would lead to a point of no return.

Hence, Lan Xuanyu paused for a moment and instead turned to kiss her cheeks…
