Chapter 124: Dugu Yan's Reward, Ning Rongrong's Wild Imagination
"Alright, alright," Meng Shenji helplessly waved his hand. "Looks like I was being a bit nosy."
"Since you all understand the situation, I won't say anything more."
After saying that, the three education committee members gave Lin Yuan a meaningful look before turning and leaving.
…
As the education committee members departed.
The surrounding students looked at Lin Yuan standing in the center of the arena, surrounded by two goddesses.
Their hearts shattered.
Especially those noble students who had hoped to pursue Ning Rongrong. Their eyes were practically burning with jealousy.
"Heavens! Why must Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang exist at the same time?!"
"Dugu Yan is one thing. She's like a poisonous rose with thorns; none of us would dare approach her."
"But that's Ning Rongrong!"
"The little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect! The future sect master!"
"Whoever marries her will ascend to the heavens in a single step, saving a hundred years of struggle!"
At the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Ning Rongrong's suitors could line up from the academy gate all the way to Heaven Dou City.
After all, she was not only beautiful, but her background was wealthy enough to rival an empire.
More importantly, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had a well-known ancestral rule: the spouse of a direct disciple must be a combat-type Soul Master.
Preferably, a power-attack system Soul Master, someone capable of protecting their support-type partner.
Many noble heirs who considered themselves talented, even successors of major families, had secretly set their sights on Ning Rongrong.
Some had even personally proposed marriage to Ning Fengzhi.
But without exception, they were all rejected.
The reason given was simple: Rongrong is still young.
(Which really meant: Ning Fengzhi didn't think much of them.)
What kind of vision did Ning Fengzhi possess?
Those pampered noble Soul Masters of the Heaven Dou Royal Family couldn't possibly catch his eye.
They wanted to marry his daughter?
Dream on.
But now…
Looking at the way Ning Rongrong stood beside Lin Yuan, even stepping forward as if defending him, everyone realized a cruel truth.
They probably had no chance anymore.
Lin Yuan had looks, strength, talent, and background.
With someone like him by Ning Rongrong's side, how could she possibly spare them a glance?
…
Feeling the murderous gazes around him, Lin Yuan felt somewhat helpless, but he didn't care much about their opinions.
After all, since he had transmigrated to the Douluo Continent, what would be the point if he didn't enjoy life a little?
The beauties of the Douluo Continent were truly top-tier, both in quality and quantity.
Whether it was appearance, figure, or personality, they easily surpassed the so-called internet celebrities from his previous life who relied entirely on filters.
Just then, a faint fragrance drifted from behind.
Dugu Yan moved quietly like a cunning cat and circled behind Lin Yuan.
At this moment, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Ye Lingling had yet to react.
When Lin Yuan turned around, a beautiful face suddenly appeared right before him.
Before anyone realized what was happening—
Dugu Yan suddenly stepped forward and wrapped her arms around Lin Yuan's neck and kissed him directly!
The action was sudden and assertive.
For a moment, Lin Yuan could clearly smell the faint fragrance of the girl standing so close to him.
The sudden display shocked not only the noble students around them but also Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Ye Lingling.
Ye Lingling widened her eyes, disbelief filling her usually calm gaze.
"Yan Yan… she actually dared to do that in front of so many people."
Xiao Wu immediately became furious, her cheeks puffing slightly with jealousy.
"That woman! How dare she act so close to Lin Yuan!"
Ning Rongrong covered her mouth, her large eyes blinking rapidly, her face slightly flushed with excitement.
"Wow… this is dramatic!"
"I didn't expect Sister Yan Yan to be so bold."
Although she still looked like an innocent young girl on the outside, the little witch's imagination was clearly far more lively than most people expected.
And Lin Yuan, the person involved—was he truly caught off guard?
Not really.
With his current strength, avoiding such a situation would have been incredibly easy.
But why would he refuse a gesture of gratitude from a beautiful girl?
Besides, with so many people watching, if he suddenly stepped back, wouldn't that embarrass Dugu Yan in public?
That wouldn't be appropriate.
So he simply allowed the moment to pass naturally.
After a moment.
Dugu Yan released him.
Her face flushed slightly as she looked at Lin Yuan.
"This is the reward I promised earlier," she said softly. "Are you satisfied?"
Lin Yuan chuckled.
"Satisfied."
Then Dugu Yan seemed to suddenly notice the crowd around them.
She immediately turned her head and glared coldly at the onlookers.
"What are you staring at? Haven't you seen enough?"
Everyone immediately snapped out of their daze and scattered like startled birds.
As they ran, they couldn't help but grumble to themselves.
Her attitude changed too fast!
Just moments ago, she looked gentle and shy, yet now she was glaring at them fiercely.
Sigh…
Sure enough, the goddess's gentle side only appeared when facing that guy named Lin Yuan.
"Alright."
Lin Yuan casually brushed the corner of his mouth and ignored Xiao Wu's murderous glare beside him.
He waved at the girls and smiled.
"Don't just stand there. I brought each of you a gift this time."
"Let's go to the exclusive training room first. I have a surprise for each of you."
…
On the way to the training room.
The girls continued chatting about the battle earlier and Dugu Yan's bold action.
Taking advantage of the moment, Lin Yuan summoned the diary within his mind.
He hadn't written today's entry yet.
[Phew, finally finished.]
[I just returned to the academy, and before I could even settle down, Yu Tianheng came to provoke me because of Dugu Yan.]
[Does he really think I'm easy to bully?]
[To be honest, I'm quite disappointed in him. Fourteen years old and only rank 31.]
[Although he's said to be the most talented among the younger generation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect—and he's even praised as the number one student of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.]
[But honestly speaking, his talent feels somewhat exaggerated. He's not even comparable to that lecherous tiger Dai Mubai from Shrek Academy.]
[In the original story, although Dai Mubai's private life was chaotic, when he first appeared, he was fifteen years old and already rank 37, even though he had been stuck at rank 39 for half a year afterwards.]
[And when he left the Star Luo Empire at twelve years old, he was already rank 25.]
[Even Zhu Zhuqing, who was three years younger, had already reached rank 27.]
