Weakly Pinned Against the Wall, Wulin, I Shouldn't Have Called You for Braised Beef in Pot

"I suppose that's how it is."

"But the Dragon Queen is in a man's body right now!"

"I am a woman."

"Doesn't that make us perfectly complementary?"

The Wise Silver Dragon felt a bit overloaded...

She pondered for a long time; the light of the white candle had already flickered out, yet she remained standing in the same spot.

Gu Yue muttered to herself, "It's getting late, I should go back and sleep first. Otherwise, these panda eyes will get even worse, and the Dragon Queen will like me even less."

She turned and headed upstairs.

Leaving behind only the extinguished heart shape...

Seeing Gu Yue leave, Xie Xie and Tang Wulin, who had been watching the show, also withdrew.

The two walked up the stairs.

Xie Xie suddenly sighed with emotion, "Someone as formidable as Gu Yue actually couldn't win over Brother Luo."

"Brother Luo is truly unyielding!"

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

"How could that be!" Xie Xie said, "It's just that I feel inexplicably happy about it."

As he spoke, Xie Xie draped his arm over Tang Wulin's shoulder.

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

Tang Wulin shook his head vigorously.

Xie Xie was somewhat dissatisfied, "Didn't you just say you didn't want Brother Luo to accept Gu Yue? Why are you acting like this now?!"

"Don't slander me, I didn't!" Tang Wulin said righteously.

Xie Xie looked at him with disdain, "Stop pretending, I know you're very happy inside."

"You're slandering me!"

"Fake!"

Xie Xie wanted to say more, but suddenly felt a chill down his back. He turned his head to see Gu Yue giving him a death stare from around the corner of the hallway.

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

"Gu Yue is a girl, after all."

"Girls should be treated with tenderness."

"Brother Luo is completely in the wrong!"

Xie Xie said this loudly on purpose.

Gu Yue walked over coldly and shot Xie Xie a frigid glance, "The two of you, I've noted this down!"

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

Both Xie Xie and Tang Wulin couldn't help but feel a chill in their lower regions.

A woman with a love-struck brain who just failed a confession is not to be trifled with.

Time to bolt.

The two of them vanished in a flash at the end of the stairs...

Gu Yue returned to her dormitory and buried her head under the covers...

She drifted into dreamland.

She had a dream.

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

To earn a few Federation Coins, she sometimes didn't even have lunch.

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

The girl said it was, of course, to help her brother buy a Soul Spirit!

"So that's it, she needs to buy a Soul Spirit for the Dragon Queen to be moved. That's right, you can't eat flowers. The Dragon Queen is a boy now, so it's only natural he wouldn't like flowers."

Gu Yue felt she understood a little.

Or perhaps she didn't understand at all.

The night was deep. Li Luo lay on his bed, his meditation technique running automatically. Over the past few years, he had become capable of multitasking.

This was truly terrifying!

Legend had it that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect relied on the Distraction Control Method to accurately provide support to multiple Soul Masters simultaneously.

Li Luo did not possess the secret techniques of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, yet he had achieved a feat even more terrifying than distraction control: multitasking.

It was clear just how stunning his talent and aptitude were.

He recalled the scene from the evening when Gu Yue confessed to him.

In the end, he had given Gu Yue the "nice guy" card.

"Gu Yue, what I've wanted was never flowers. What I want is very simple: just return Na'er to me, and that will be enough."

The long night stretched on.

The journey was silent.

A new day began.

The class assignments were underway.

Long Hengxu, the fighter jet among deans, stood like a proud rooster with his hands behind his back, facing Li Luo, Gu Yue, Tang Wulin, and Xie Xie.

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

As he spoke, his gaze swept over Li Luo and the others with great pressure.

"You've committed an offense!"

Unfortunately, among the four, Li Luo's expression remained natural, and Gu Yue was cold as frost.

Xie Xie was unruly, and Tang Wulin was a bit dense, failing to register Long Hengxu's intimidation.

Long Hengxu felt somewhat dissatisfied.

In the past, whenever he pulled this routine, those students would be trembling in their boots.

He sighed inwardly, Sigh, this batch of students is a bit hard to manage!

Long Hengxu said earnestly, "Originally, some of you could have gone directly into Class One."

Changing his tone, he became sharp, "But look at you all—fighting, engaging in puppy love."

"If this continues, where is the authority of the academy rules?"

"East Sea cannot break its rules just for you."

"All of you, get lost to Class Five."

Li Luo thought to himself, Another classic trope; there's always a dean like this. I'm speechless.

What was even more ridiculous was that the fight had happened days ago.

And the "love" was supposedly confessed yesterday.

Wait, no love was even confessed!

Long Hengxu added with regret, "Li Luo, with your talent and aptitude, entering Class One was a sure thing."

"But you shouldn't have engaged in puppy love!"

Li Luo replied, "Teacher, I didn't engage in puppy love."

Long Hengxu was displeased, "Look at the heart made of candles in the dormitory courtyard; it's covering the whole ground. You didn't even bother to clean it up, and you still say there's no puppy love?"

"When a boy confesses, he has to pay attention to the method. You just made a heart shape; it's too crude. You should do it like this..."

Gu Yue's face inexplicably flushed red.

She was the one who had confessed.

She was the one who had set it up.

So, this setup was still lacking quite a bit; at the very least, she hadn't done what Dean Long suggested—playing the guitar and singing a song.

Forget it, I'll have experience next time, Gu Yue thought to herself.

Long Hengxu, who had been speaking passionately, suddenly realized something—wait, wait, he was supposed to be reprimanding the students.

How did he suddenly start acting like a mentor, teaching them how to confess?

It must have been the force of habit from being a teacher.

Long Hengxu instantly straightened his face, "What the teacher means is that puppy love is unacceptable. You must remember this."

"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 she would go to whichever class Li Luo went to.

Xie Xie and Tang Wulin felt much the same.

However, Xie Xie and Tang Wulin had another motive: while they would follow Li Luo to whichever class he went to, they felt it was necessary to keep an eye on Gu Yue.

Gu Yue was too dangerous.

With Brother Luo being a boy out on his own, without the two of them acting as his protectors, he might not be able to defend himself.

These were the inner thoughts of the two.

The four arrived at Class Five.

Normal studies began.

Just as in the original Douluo III, the cold and arrogant god Wu Zhangkong took on the role of homeroom teacher for Class Five.

Days passed one by one.

Wu Zhangkong also discovered the promising talents in his class.

Li Luo, Gu Yue, Xie Xie, and Tang Wulin all possessed great potential, and he intended to send them to compete in the Class Promotion Tournament.

However, before that, he still had to test them.

"Li Luo, Gu Yue, you two will be a team, facing off against Xie Xie and Tang Wulin," Wu Zhangkong arranged.

"Teacher, I won't fight Brother Luo!"

Xie Xie and Tang Wulin spoke almost in unison.

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