Chapter 7 The Ungrateful Little Fox, Hu Liena.
Yan?
Seems like the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall team?
For some reason, Mu Changge, who had almost forgotten the Douluo Continent plot, remembered it all clearly after her body and mind recovered.
Therefore, upon hearing this name, Mu Changge subconsciously turned her head and saw a man and a woman walking towards her.
The boy had an ordinary appearance, an extremely strong physique, fiery red hair, flame patterns all over his body, and even dark red eyes.
However, this man was all smiles and fawning at the girl in front of him, a complete simp.
"Hehehe, Nana, I'm just worried you might be in danger, I can protect you!"
Looking at the girl, she had shoulder-length orange hair, and although her figure wasn't as perfect as Bibi Dong's, it was still almost perfect, giving the impression of a wolf ready to pounce.
At first glance, she didn't seem particularly beautiful, but upon closer inspection, one could sense a strange charm emanating from her.
A girl of this caliber, plus that simp named Yan beside her—could she be Hu Liena?
Just as Mu Changge was pondering this, Hu Liena and Yan arrived before him.
Hu Liena initially intended to walk past the stranger, but a sense of closeness arose from him, causing her to stop and scrutinize Mu Changge.
Upon closer inspection, Hu Liena's eyes lit up instantly.
As everyone knows, Hu Liena is a total sucker for good looks!
Although his clothes were tattered, Mu Changge's face was absolutely to her liking, and the fatal attraction he possessed almost made her succumb on the spot.
Actually, this wasn't entirely Hu Liena's fault, because that so-called closeness was simply a biological instinctual thirst for life force; the vast and pure life energy emanating from Mu Changge was something every living being yearned for.
If there were any birds nearby, they would probably perch on Mu Changge's shoulder and cuddle with him.
Furthermore, Hu Liena, who had already been infused with life energy absorbed from Mu Changge's body by Bibi Dong for cultivation, had an even stronger craving for this familiar energy.
Seeing Mu Changge lost in thought, Hu Liena coughed lightly and asked, "My name is Hu Liena. Who are you? Why haven't I seen you before in the Spirit Hall?"
Mu Changge was taken aback. He had only been thinking about leaving Spirit City as quickly as possible and hadn't expected Hu Liena to greet him. However, a gentle smile appeared on his face; at first glance, he truly seemed like a refined gentleman.
"So you're Nana, the Pope's beloved disciple he always talks about. You're quite remarkable to meet you today."
Seeing this smile, Hu Liena was momentarily stunned, then belatedly blushed and lowered her head. "You flatter me. Nana is just being pampered by her teacher; she's exaggerating."
Hu Liena possessed a natural allure, with a voluptuous and delicate figure that would make even women's hearts flutter.
Mu Changge naturally didn't want to miss such a gem.
Seeing Hu Liena's reaction, a somewhat immature idea began to take shape in his mind.
Mu Changge slapped his forehead as if he had just remembered. "Look at my memory! My name is Mu Changge, and I'm an old friend of the Pope, someone he knows well."
"So it's Senior Mu in person! Nana greets you."
Hu Liena bowed to Mu Changge, a stark contrast to Yan, who was still standing there like a complete idiot, completely oblivious.
"Nana, there's no need for such formalities, but... sigh!"
Mu Changge seemed hesitant to speak, and finally even let out a heavy sigh. Hu Liena looked up at the face that made him blush and his heart race, and asked with concern, "Senior Mu, you can just say what's on your mind. Why are you sighing?"
"It's like this, I came here to catch up with the Pope and discuss life, but an urgent matter suddenly occurred at home, and I wanted to leave overnight, but alas..." Mu Changge lied through his teeth, and at the end he even gestured with his eyes to the tightly closed gates of Wuhun City.
Hu Liena instantly understood, but she really didn't want to let the man who had just met her and already captivated her leave. She tentatively asked, "Senior, why don't you stay here for the night, rest well, and leave the city tomorrow?"
"Alas~ Nana, you don't understand. This urgent matter concerns life and death. Besides, if the Pope finds out tomorrow, he'll definitely stop me from leaving."
"This…" Hu Liena looked at Mu Changge's troubled expression, pursed her lips, and hesitated for a moment: "If Senior Mu is really in such a hurry, how about I escort you out of the city?" Mu Changge
thought to himself, "As expected of an ingrate. Bibi Dong is truly unlucky to have a disciple like you."
"Really?"
On the surface, Mu Changge was visibly excited, suddenly grabbing Hu Liena's hand. "Thank you so much, Nana!"
Then, as if realizing his mistake, he quickly let go, apologizing, "I'm sorry, Nana, I was too excited."
Hu Liena, her face flushed, lowered her head, fiddling with the hem of her clothes, stammering, "No, it's alright, Senior Mu didn't mean it."
In fact, Hu Liena secretly hoped Mu Changge had done it on purpose, because the moment he grasped her hand, her entire body trembled.
The feeling wasn't just physical pleasure; even her martial soul yearned for Mu Changge.
Because she had previously absorbed Mu Changge's life energy, Hu Liena's martial soul was acutely aware of the immense benefits she could gain directly from this walking source of life.
However, Hu Liena wanted to maintain her image in front of the person she admired, desperately suppressing her desire; otherwise, she would have already thrown herself into Mu Changge's arms.
But Yan, standing to the side, was not happy. It was one thing for Hu Liena to care so much about a man she'd just met—after all, he was her sweetheart, kind-hearted.
But that guy actually dared to hold Hu Liena's hand? And call her Nana so affectionately?
Even if you're handsome, you can't make a good impression on a first meeting!
"Nana! Don't be fooled by him! This guy is so young, he doesn't look much older than us. How could he possibly be His Holiness the Pope's old friend?"
If Yan were alone with Mu Changge, based solely on the attraction he felt from him (the attraction of life energy to living beings), he would definitely befriend him.
But if he were to flirt with Hu Liena?
No way!
Therefore, Yan's affection for Hu Liena outweighed his feelings for Mu Changge, and he found the other man suspicious.
"Yan! Watch your attitude!" Hu Liena, who had just been shy around Mu Changge, turned and coldly shouted at Yan, "Isn't it precisely because Senior Mu is young and accomplished that he became friends with Teacher!?"
Hmm!
That's very much in line with Hu Liena's personality!
Mu Changge touched his nose, glancing away silently.
This was a huge blow to Yan, the simp. He couldn't believe Hu Liena would rather believe Mu Changge, whom she'd just met, than him, her longtime teammate. Heartbroken
, Yan tried to rouse Hu Liena to her senses: "Nana, wake up! If he were truly His Holiness the Pope's friend, why would he be dressed in such tattered clothes, like a prisoner?"
But where was this?
The Continent of Love!
Coupled with inheriting Bibi Dong's love-struck nature, Hu Liena only glanced at Mu Changge before turning back to Yan and angrily shouting, "Yan! That's enough! If you continue this unreasonable behavior, I'll go find our teacher and have you kicked out of the Martial Soul Team!"
