Having a Girlfriend Is Great

In the end, Huo Gua did not stay at Zhou Huan's house for long before taking his leave, because he could not get the answers he wanted and could not resolve Ice Empress's questions; he had essentially come up empty-handed.

As for Zhou Huan, he actually wanted to test Huo Gua to find out whether Electrolux was dead or not.

Despite trying his best to probe indirectly, Zhou Huan still didn't get any useful information.

It can only be said that Huo Gua, having studied in an enemy country and served as a spy, possesses exceptional mental fortitude and a knack for maintaining secrecy.

However, Zhou Huan wasn't too disappointed, as it was originally just a trivial pastime.

Despite his wild speculations, Zhou Huan wasn't foolish enough to actually place his hopes on Electrolux, a person reduced to a remnant soul, being able to fight against God King Tang.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Zhou Huan has nothing better to do than go and kill God King Tang later, since they don't have any grudges between them so far.

Even though he despised God King Tang's actions, Zhou Huan wouldn't attack God King without a reason; no normal person would do such a thing.

Zhou Huan had no idea how things would develop in the future. After all, he was still living on the Douluo Continent. What if one day he had to do something that required his Path to Death?

Therefore, it's more important to upgrade quietly.

Only with strength can one have confidence and face the unknown.

Yes, cultivation is very important, but for Zhou Huan now, leveling up is not something that can be done in a month or two.

Even with the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow, in Zhou Huan's current state of having Dual Soul Cores, leveling up requires not only sufficient energy but also a long period of cultivation.

It will take at least a year and a half to advance one level.

This speed is several times slower than before becoming Titled Douluo.

However, Zhou Huan is very satisfied. Now that he is about to turn eighteen, he is already a level ninety-two Titled Douluo. What more could he ask for?

So take your time, there's no rush.

So, I think I should go to my girlfriend's house for a meal. It's been ten hours since I last saw her, and I miss her terribly.

So, no sooner had Huo Gua left than Zhou Huan went to Zhang Lexuan's house.

"Clap clap clap."

Zhou Huan gently knocked on Zhang Lexuan's wooden door.

With a creak, the door opened, and before Zhou Huan could finish saying "Happy," he saw a girl in red standing inside.

In that instant, Zhou Huan suddenly felt as if he might have traveled through time again.

Who else could it be but Ma Xiaotao?

So why was it Ma Xiaotao who opened the door at Zhang Lexuan's house again?

Luckily, he hadn't planned to surprise his girlfriend by hugging her, otherwise he would have been at a huge loss.

Seeing Zhou Huan's obvious disappointment, Ma Xiaotao pouted and said speechlessly, "Senior Disciple Sister is inside, I have to go."

Before Zhou Huan could answer, Ma Xiaotao walked past him and left.

She felt that this room probably couldn't contain those brightly lit things, especially since her Extreme Fire was too bright.

Therefore, to avoid that sour atmosphere that was about to ensue, Ma Xiaotao thought it best to leave first.

Zhou Huan, standing to the side, was somewhat puzzled. What was wrong with this Flame Demon today? He was acting like he'd seen a plague god when he saw me, walking away so quickly.

Shaking his head, Zhou Huan stopped thinking about it and went inside, then casually closed the door behind him.

As soon as Zhou Huan entered the living room, he saw Zhang Lexuan busy in the kitchen.

So Zhou Huan went to the kitchen door and said with a smile, "Did Sister Lexuan know I was coming, so she cooked in advance?"

Hearing this, Zhang Lexuan slightly raised her head, glanced at Zhou Huan, and said, "You're overthinking it. When don't I cook for myself every day? It's the same whether you come or not."

Zhou Huan: "..." If you say that, then you're not the kind of cute girlfriend you should be.

Seeing Zhou Huan's somewhat sighing expression, Zhang Lexuan smiled gently and said, "Alright, bring the food to the table. Look at you, acting silly."

Then, Zhang Lexuan looked outside the living room and asked, "Where's Xiaotao? She just said she'd leave after dinner, why is she gone?"

Zhou Huan shrugged and said, "She opened the door and left in a hurry, saying she had something to do."

Zhang Lexuan: "... Forget it, let's eat. Let's ignore her."

Then, the two of them sat down on the same side of the table.

Before, we would sit opposite each other, but now, the positions should be changed.

However, Zhang Lexuan was clearly not used to it yet. "Why are you standing so close to me at such a big dining table?"

Zhou Huan, naturally acting like a boyfriend, said, "It's convenient for me to pick food for my girlfriend."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lexuan's pretty face flushed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure. "Be serious."

In response, Zhou Huan immediately shook his head and said, "Sister Lexuan, if a boyfriend is too serious with his girlfriend, there's bound to be problems."

Zhang Lexuan: "..." Where did you get this twisted logic from? I've never heard of such a thing before. Does being respectful to each other mean it's improper? Does it mean there's a problem?

However, Zhang Lexuan clearly didn't want to continue this topic, because she knew Zhou Huan always had a lot of reasons.

Therefore, she changed the subject and said, "Xiaotao just came to say that there will be a hunting operation in the Inner Court in a month to hunt Soul Beast and obtain Soul Ring for the students. She asked if I wanted to be the team leader, and I agreed."

Zhou Huan's expression shifted slightly, and he asked, "Are we going to the Star Dou Great Forest?"

Zhang Lexuan nodded. "Yes, we might have to enter the Core Zone first, because when Inner Court disciple register, they all need to obtain their sixth Soul Ring, which means it must be a suitable Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring."

Is it here already?

Zhou Huan thought to himself that the Star Dou Great Forest was roughly divided into four areas: the Outer Zone, the Mixed Zone, the Core Zone, and the Land of Great Peril where the Lake of Life was located, which was the core of the core.

No Soul Master could possibly approach the Lake of Life, since Di Tian and the other major Ferocious Beast were there, and most importantly, the Silver Dragon King was recuperating there.

As for the Core Zone, it is naturally an extremely dangerous zone.

Zhou Huan knew that if things had followed the original trajectory, Zhang Lexuan and her group would have encountered the three Evil Soul Master Zhongli Three Brothers, as well as the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear, in the Core Zone.

However, these are not the main points.

The key point is that it was during this mission to hunt Soul Beast that Wang Qiu'er went through life and death with Huo Gua and truly fell in love with him. Undoubtedly, this led to tragedy in the end.

Of course, this was not the beginning of the tragedy, because after Huo Gua first encountered the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and exchanged some of his memories, all the scheming had already begun.

Zhou Huan pondered, however, what if he secretly intervened this time and directly killed the Zhongli Three Brothers, preventing Wang Qiu'er and Huo Gua from experiencing life and death together?

Zhou Huan had many ideas in mind, but she wasn't sure what to do.

He didn't actually want to help Wang Qiu'er; rather, he was wondering if it was truly inevitable that Huo Gua, the Son of Destiny, and Wang Qiu'er's Soul Beast destiny would intersect.

Or perhaps the fates of Huo Gua and Wang Qiu'er were entirely orchestrated by a certain God King.

However, Zhou Huan was also considering whether it was really time to test the waters. It seemed a bit too risky.

Just as Zhou Huan was somewhat dazed, Zhang Lexuan placed a piece of fish in his bowl. "What are you thinking about? I didn't ask you to go. Although the Core Zone is dangerous, I can handle it if we're careful, and I'm not the only one leading the team."

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Huan said, "I'll go too. Xiao Xiao and Old Wen should get their sixth Soul Ring in a month. I'm free anyway."

After a pause, Zhou Huan laughed again, "Let's just say we're going to the Star Dou Great Forest for our honeymoon."

Zhang Lexuan: "... Get lost." Who goes on their honeymoon to the Star Dou Great Forest? Besides, we've only been dating for one day, what kind of honeymoon are we talking about?

Hearing this, Zhou Huan maintained her smile, completely unconcerned about Zhang Lexuan's reproachful tone. After all, they were already in a relationship, so this was clearly not a reprimand, but rather a friendly exchange between lovers.

Zhou Huan had eaten plenty of this kind of "dog food" (a Chinese slang term for public displays of affection) in his previous life, and now he finally had the chance to be the one distributing it himself. Just thinking about it made him excited.
