The Weak One Pinned Against the Wall, Wulin, I Shouldn't Have Asked You to Eat Braised Beef in Pot

"Probably."

"But the Dragon Queen is a man right now!"

"I'm a woman."

"Wouldn't that make us a perfect match?"

Wise Silver Dragon was a little stunned...

She thought about it for a long time. The white candle had already gone out, but she was still standing there.

Gu Yue muttered to herself, "It's getting late. I'd better go back to bed. Otherwise, my panda eyes will get even worse, and the Dragon Queen will like me even less."

She turned and went upstairs.

Only the extinguished heart was left behind...

Seeing Gu Yue leave, Xie Xie and Tang Wulin, who'd been watching the show, left too.

The two of them walked up the stairs.

Xie Xie suddenly sighed. "Even someone as strong as Gu Yue can't win over Brother Luo."

"Brother Luo sure can hold out!"

Tang Wulin replied, "Isn't that a good thing? Don't tell me you want Brother Luo to accept Gu Yue?"

"How could I?" Xie Xie said. "I just feel inexplicably happy about it."

As he spoke, Xie Xie slung an arm over Tang Wulin's shoulder.

He asked Tang Wulin curiously, "Aren't you happy?"

Tang Wulin shook his head vigorously.

Xie Xie looked dissatisfied. "Didn't you just say you didn't want Brother Luo to accept Gu Yue? So why are you acting like this now?!"

"Don't slander me. I'm not!" Tang Wulin declared righteously.

Xie Xie looked at him with disdain. "Give it up. I know you're happy inside."

"You're slandering me!"

"Keep pretending!"

Xie Xie was about to say something else when he suddenly felt a chill down his back. He turned around. At the bend in the stairwell, Gu Yue was glaring at him murderously.

Xie Xie shivered. "Wulin, Brother Luo really is something. How could he treat Gu Yue like that?"

"Gu Yue's a girl, after all."

"Girls should be treated gently."

"Brother Luo was totally in the wrong!"

Xie Xie deliberately spoke very loudly.

Gu Yue walked over coldly and shot Xie Xie a frosty look. "I'll remember you two!"

"And if I hear you badmouthing Li Luo again, you'd better think about whether you still want to keep your little birdies!"

Xie Xie and Tang Wulin both felt a chill below the waist.

A lovesick woman whose confession had been rejected was not someone to mess with.

Run!

The two of them dashed away, vanishing at the end of the stairwell...

Gu Yue returned to her dorm and pulled the covers over her head...

She drifted off to sleep.

She dreamed.

She dreamed of a girl wearing a yellow vest, riding a Soul Guidance Bicycle through every corner of the city.

To earn a few Federation Coins, sometimes she couldn't even afford lunch.

She asked the girl why she worked so hard to earn money.

The girl said it was obviously to buy her brother a Soul Spirit!

So the Dragon Queen would fall for me, I need to buy a Soul Spirit. Right, flowers can't be eaten. The Dragon Queen's a boy right now, so it makes sense that he doesn't like flowers.

Gu Yue understood a little.

Or maybe she didn't.

It was already late at night. Li Luo lay on his bed, the meditation method running automatically. After these past few years, he was now able to do two things at once.

It was truly terrifying!

They said that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Distraction Control Method let its users precisely support multiple Soul Masters at the same time.

Li Luo didn't have the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's secret art, yet he'd managed something even more astonishing than Distraction Control: doing two things at once.

That showed just how astonishing his talent and brilliance were.

He thought back to Gu Yue's confession that evening.

In the end, he'd given Gu Yue the good-person card.

"Gu Yue, I've never wanted flowers. All I want is for you to give Na'er back. That's all."

The long night stretched on.

Nothing happened.

A new day began.

Class placements were underway.

Long Hengxu, the combat ace among the directors of education, stood before Li Luo, Gu Yue, Tang Wulin, and Xie Xie like a proud rooster, his hands behind his back.

Long Hengxu began, "Do you know why I called you here separately?"

As he spoke, he fixed them with a forceful gaze.

"You're in trouble!"

Unfortunately, of the four, Li Luo looked perfectly calm, Gu Yue wore a frosty expression, Xie Xie was defiant, and Tang Wulin was a little slow on the uptake. None of them felt the pressure Long Hengxu was trying to project.

Long Hengxu was a little displeased.

Usually, once he put on this act, students would be scared out of their wits.

He sighed inwardly. These students are a handful.

Long Hengxu said earnestly, "Some of you could have gone straight into Class One."

Then his tone sharpened. "But one after another, you've been fighting or getting into puppy love."

"If this keeps up, what will become of the school rules?"

"East Sea Academy can't break the rules just for your sake."

"All of you are going to Class Five."

Li Luo thought, Another classic. There's always an education director like this. I can't even complain anymore.

What was worse, the fight had happened several days ago.

And the romance had started yesterday.

No, it hadn't even started!

Long Hengxu sighed regretfully. "Li Luo, with your talent and ability, you'd have been a sure thing for Class One."

"But you shouldn't have gotten into puppy love!"

Li Luo replied, "Teacher, I'm not dating anyone."

Long Hengxu said, displeased, "Look at the candlelit heart on the dorm courtyard ground. It's covering the whole place. You didn't even clean it up, and you still say you're not dating?"

"When a boy confesses, he needs to pay attention to the method. You just made a heart. That's too crude. You should do something like..."

Gu Yue's face inexplicably turned red.

She'd been the one to confess.

She'd been the one to set it all up.

So the setup had still been lacking. At the very least, she hadn't done the things Director Long mentioned: playing guitar and singing a song.

Forget it. I'll know what to do next time, Gu Yue thought.

Long Hengxu, who'd been speaking with great passion, suddenly came to his senses. Wait, wait. He was supposed to be scolding students.

How had he suddenly turned into a teacher, showing them how to confess?

It was probably just a teacher's deeply ingrained habit.

Long Hengxu immediately put on a stern face. "What I mean is, puppy love is unacceptable. Make sure you remember that."

"Go on."

"Class Five welcomes you!"

The four turned and left.

Li Luo didn't care which class he went to.

Gu Yue thought that wherever Li Luo went, she would go too.

Xie Xie and Tang Wulin felt more or less the same.

But the two of them had another reason as well. Wherever Li Luo went, they'd go too, and they also felt it was necessary to keep an eye on Gu Yue.

Gu Yue was too dangerous.

With Brother Luo out there on his own, he might not be able to protect himself without the two of them there as his bodyguards.

That was what the two of them thought.

The four arrived in Class Five.

Their regular classes began.

Just like in the original Douluo III, the aloof male god Wu Zhangkong became Class Five's homeroom teacher.

Days passed one by one.

Wu Zhangkong also noticed the promising students in his class.

Li Luo, Gu Yue, Xie Xie, and Tang Wulin all had plenty of potential. He planned to send them to compete in the Class Promotion Tournament.

But before that, he had to test them.

"Li Luo and Gu Yue, you're one team. Fight Xie Xie and Tang Wulin," Wu Zhangkong arranged.

"Teacher, I'm not fighting Brother Luo!"

Xie Xie and Tang Wulin said in unison.

Wu Zhangkong's eyes turned cold. "Why?"
