Mirror Flow Blushes, and "Xue Qinghe" Wants to Recruit Him

For some reason, seeing Mirror Flow's reaction made Lu Mingchuan's first instinct to go over and be annoying. And he really did.

"Yo, were you worried about me?" He leaned close to Mirror Flow.

Mirror Flow said nothing. A faint blush rose on her cheeks, and the Ephemeral Flower Sword appeared in her hand. She raised it as if to slash at him, and Lu Mingchuan immediately turned and ran. Seeing this, Mirror Flow lowered her sword.

She watched his retreating figure with amusement, then slowly followed after him.

"That's more like it. You look better when you smile more." Lu Mingchuan fearlessly sidled up beside her again.

"Nosy." Mirror Flow gave a soft huff.

Lu Mingchuan chuckled twice, then tentatively reached for her little hand. This time, his hand was not caught in Mirror Flow's grip. Feeling the softness in his palm, the curve of his lips grew wider and wider.

It hadn't been easy. He had finally succeeded in resisting once. This little counterattack might seem insignificant, but it was the first step in sounding the horn of his counteroffensive—a huge leap from zero to one.

Mirror Flow looked at Lu Mingchuan's foolishly delighted expression with some disdain. She lightly shook her hand, but when she found she could not free it, she helplessly let him hold it. The two of them continued walking like that.

Lu Mingchuan smiled as he savored his moment of victory, while Mirror Flow looked faintly displeased as she watched him continue grinning stupidly when they were about to return to Heaven Dou City.

Unable to endure it any longer, she used her other hand to help clear his head by pinching his waist. In an instant, the smile on his face was replaced by pain, while the disdain on Mirror Flow's face was replaced by a tiny bit of delight.

This time, there was no worry on Mirror Flow's face. Having pinched him once before, she had experience now and was no longer afraid of hurting Lu Mingchuan.

After entering the city, the two headed straight for Blue Tyrant Academy. After wandering around all day, it was already getting late. In this Douluo world without much entertainment, Lu Mingchuan's bad habit of staying up late had been cured—at least he went to sleep on time.

Though he did not know who it would be tonight. When the two got home, they saw a pink-haired girl bothering Huang Quan.

"Oh my, your eyes are so adorable. Can you open them a little wider? I want to see myself in your eyes." Huang Quan felt troubled by the coquettish voice in her ear.

The cool, aloof, and somewhat wooden mature beauty simply could not withstand such an assault. When the pink-haired girl harassing Huang Quan saw the two return, she grabbed Huang Quan and quickly walked over, then released her and threw herself into Lu Mingchuan's arms.

"Oh my, I haven't gotten to snuggle with Ah Chuan for so long today. I really missed Ah Chuan."

Lu Mingchuan caught the pink-haired girl and bounced her slightly. Before he could speak, Alicia's pitiful little expression in his arms interrupted him. Seeing that he did not tease her, Alicia gave him a sweet smile, pressed her cheek against his chest, and rubbed against him twice.

After a while, he suddenly felt a chill appear behind him. It grew colder and colder as time passed, and just as he was about to be unable to bear it, Alicia jumped down from his arms.

"All right, energy replenished." As she spoke, she turned her gaze toward Mirror Flow behind Lu Mingchuan and blinked at her, signaling for her to work hard tonight.

Mirror Flow smiled softly, indicating that she did not need to say it. Lu Mingchuan looked at the silent exchange between the two with confusion.

It had only been a few days since Alicia had been summoned. Could it be that Alicia had already stolen away the corner of his wall? At that moment, he could not help doubting his own charm. Or was Alicia simply too charming?

The group sat in the living room and chatted for a while longer. Mainly, Alicia and Lu Mingchuan talked while Mirror Flow and Huang Quan listened. Then they planned to return to their rooms to sleep.

After washing up, Lu Mingchuan sat in a chair in his room, intending to do two ten-pulls to kill some time. He opened his personal panel.

Name: Lu Mingchuan

Servants: Huang Quan, Volberli, Mirror Flow, Alicia

Age: 12 Martial Soul: Imperial Bow Level: 46 Items: Gaze of the Hunt, Night's Edge (equipped), Dust Song Pot ×1, Spirit Summoning Scroll - Panda, Flying Bird.

Points: 93700

Looking at his more than ninety thousand Points, Lu Mingchuan opened the lottery. He did not even pray before directly drawing. It could not be helped—when he had plenty of Points, he could play however he wanted.

Seeing the blue sky, white clouds, and one purple item that appeared, he was not surprised at all. He casually opened the purple item and took a look.

Name: Thesis Defense

Description: After selecting a target, it automatically appears in the target's hand. The selected person will be forced to eat this pile of Thesis Defense. Before the selected person finishes eating the Thesis Defense, they cannot perform any actions. Note: Ineffective against god-level beings and above. Limited to twice per day; uses recover the following day.

How should he put it? This thing's effect was absurd in every sense of the word. As a purple item, forcibly controlling the other party was undeniably powerful. But to him, it only had the effect of disgusting people. And it had successfully disgusted him too, making him lose the desire to continue. Just as he was considering who to use it on, his door was pushed open.

"Creak."

He raised his eyes and looked over. Familiar ivory white, familiar white hair and red eyes.

Unlike yesterday, Mirror Flow seemed to have had enough fun today. Rather than immediately pouncing on him and kissing him, she lay directly on the bed and gestured for Lu Mingchuan to hurry up and join her.

Once Lu Mingchuan lay down, she wrapped around him like an octopus and stuffed him into her embrace. Poor Lu Mingchuan naturally could not defeat Mirror Flow. He could only close his eyes against her soft chest, inhale a fragrance different from the other two, and drift off to sleep.

Mirror Flow kept her crimson eyes open as she watched Lu Mingchuan sleep. Only after a long while did she slowly close her eyes.

At this moment, within the Crown Prince's Mansion of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family.

"Pufferfish, how old was that young man around level 45 last time?"

Qian Renxue, wearing Xue Qinghe's face, stared into the empty air before her as she spoke.

"Young Mistress, he was around twelve or thirteen years old. Could it be that you wish to recruit him?"

Qian Renxue nodded. "Reaching level 45 at twelve or thirteen makes him a genius among geniuses. Help me investigate whether there is some major power behind him."

"If there isn't, I'll try to recruit him. A genius like that ought to become a subordinate of mine, Qian Renxue's."

Pufferfish Douluo in the shadows answered, then gave Snake Lance some instructions before leaving to investigate. Qian Renxue remained where she was, tapping the armrest of her chair with her fingers.

Level 45 at twelve years old. His talent was incredibly high, but compared to her innate level 20, it was merely decent. It would be best if she recruited him, but it did not matter if she failed.

After thinking it over, she put the matter aside. The image of that disappointing younger brother appeared in her mind instead. She narrowed her eyes slightly, feeling that something was not quite right.

Where are the lovely pictures of Alicia and Huang Quan? It seemed like Huang Quan had been a little neglected lately. ┭┮﹏┭┮
