Provocation! A Wager with Dugu Yan

Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

The academy was built on such a grand and imposing scale, with luxurious decorations and glittering golden light so dazzling it could blind anyone. It was not inferior even to the Imperial Palace of some smaller kingdoms.

The students who could study here were either rich or powerful.

And not merely ordinary rich or powerful.

After school.

Youthful boys and girls in Heaven Dou Royal Academy uniforms streamed out.

At the corner across the street.

A handsome young boy with Crimson Maple Color hair leaned lazily against the wall, his gaze fixed on the students coming and going through the school gate.

He looked a little like a Street Loafer.

He was just rather handsome.

"I've kept watch here for several days. I've finally confirmed the target."

"At Heaven Dou Royal Academy, there's only one girl around thirteen with that distinctive green hair."

Lin Xiao cast his gaze farther.

Sure enough, he saw a green-haired girl walking out of the academy, surrounded by a crowd of admirers.

After leaving the school gate, everyone exchanged farewells.

In the end, only a silver-gray-haired girl remained beside Dugu Yan.

The two walked off together.

Lin Xiao stepped forward.

"Yan Yan, look, it's that Little friend again!"

Ye Lingling was usually very aloof, and even more unapproachable at school. However, she was relatively lively when she was with Dugu Yan.

She winked at Dugu Yan and indicated that she should look across the street.

"Yan Yan, this Little friend has been waiting here for several days."

"Every time you appear, he can't take his eyes off you."

"Your charm really is something. Even this Little friend couldn't withstand it and came all the way to our academy to wait for you!"

"Looks like he finally worked up the courage to confess today?"

Dugu Yan raised a hand as if to hit Ye Lingling.

Ye Lingling hurriedly ran away.

Laughing brightly without pause, she called out to Dugu Yan:

"Younger is better. You can raise him however you like!"

"He'll be obedient when he grows up, too!"

A trace of blush appeared on Dugu Yan's aloof face, and she chased after Ye Lingling.

"You dead girl, I'll beat you to death!"

"If you like him so much, take him home yourself!"

"Why are you dragging me into this?"

Ye Lingling laughed.

"That won't do. He doesn't like me. Look, he's already come right up to you!"

Dugu Yan's footsteps halted.

Looking at Lin Xiao as he approached, she asked softly:

"Little brother, is there something you need me for?"

Lin Xiao was dumbfounded.

Everything happening now had deviated drastically from his original plan.

Wasn't Dugu Yan supposed to be incomparably aloof, with him provoking her to attract her attention?

Why was she treating me so kindly?

He got his answer when Lin Xiao desperately tried to Raise head so he could speak while looking at Dugu Yan's face, only to see the Young Girl's two rounded mounds.

Damn it!

Lin Xiao had calculated everything except one detail!

At this age, he was only a little over six years old. He was still a child!

Despite having an adult soul, in other people's eyes, he was just a brat!

And a handsome young boy at that!

After realizing this, Lin Xiao nearly went berserk on the spot.

He took a deep breath and calmed himself.

"Um, you're Dugu Yan, right?"

"I want to meet your grandfather."

After thinking it over, Lin Xiao still decided not to provoke her.

He would first try to pass by acting cute.

Dugu Yan froze, then crouched down.

"Little friend, why do you want to meet my grandfather?"

Ye Lingling also ran back at this moment.

Because she was six years younger than in the original story, she still enjoyed fooling around.

The moment she arrived, she teased Dugu Yan:

"He wants to meet the family already. What else could it be?"

"He must be here to Propose marriage!"

Dugu Yan's face flushed red, and she said angrily:

"Ling Ling!"

"Don't lead the Little friend astray!"

Seeing that the two were about to start fooling around again, Lin Xiao feared they would forget about him. He quickly shouted:

"I'm looking for Poison Douluo because I have a very important reason!"

After pondering for a while, Lin Xiao decided to be a little more honest.

"Because I know the flaw in the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul!"

"And I also have a way to solve that Martial Soul's flaw!"

After saying this, Lin Xiao looked at Dugu Yan with a serious expression and a sincere gaze.

"Pfft~"

Unexpectedly, Dugu Yan burst out laughing.

"Little friend, where is your family?"

"Hurry home. Big sister is leaving, too."

She completely ignored what Lin Xiao had said!

Ye Lingling, meanwhile, crouched down with great interest and pinched Lin Xiao's cheek.

"Little friend, if you like Big sister, just say so."

"Why make up excuses?"

"If Yan Yan doesn't agree, how about considering me?"

Afterward, Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan exchanged a glance.

"Gigg giggle~"

The two broke into bright laughter!

Lin Xiao's face darkened.

He knew it!

Sure enough, sincerity always turned one into a clown. Only schemes could capture people's hearts!

These Young Girls in puberty were seriously annoying!

Laugh, laugh, what was so funny? Especially Ye Lingling, who was pinching his face—try pinching it again!

Lin Xiao directly turned dark!

His expression turned cold, and he slapped away Ye Lingling's hand as she toyed with his face.

He said coldly to Dugu Yan:

"Dugu Yan, right? I think your Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul is nothing but a useless Martial Soul, and your Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison is the most worthless poison in the world. I, Lin Xiao, formally challenge you!"

I had devoted my heart to the bright moon, yet the bright moon shone upon the ditch!

He still had to draw their hatred and thoroughly amaze these two girls!

Dugu Yan froze.

This handsome young boy had actually challenged her?

Ordinarily, she should not have quarreled with a child, but Lin Xiao's words—calling the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul useless and the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison worthless—made it impossible for Dugu Yan not to Care about them.

Her gaze turned cold, and her Emerald Green eyes stared icily at Lin Xiao.

"Little friend, say that again?"

Ye Lingling also looked at Lin Xiao in astonishment.

"Little friend, have you gone crazy? Bringing up someone else's Martial Soul like that—she'll take it seriously!"

That was exactly what Lin Xiao wanted: for Dugu Yan to take him seriously.

Otherwise, how could he make her submit?

"I'll repeat myself. Dugu Yan, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison you're so proud of is completely useless in my eyes. I formally challenge you to a Wager Duel!"

"The loser must agree to one condition from the winner!"

Lin Xiao met Dugu Yan's icy gaze without the slightest fear.

Dugu Yan was so angry that she laughed.

She did not Care how old Lin Xiao was. Today, she had to teach this brat a lesson!

She would make him understand that food could be eaten carelessly, but words could not be spoken carelessly!

"Fine. I'll have a Wager Duel with you."

"But I have one condition."

Dugu Yan sneered:

"The loser must agree to three conditions from the winner!"
