Bewitching Xiao Xiao and Making Her See Reality!

Gu An looked at Xiao Xiao, whose face was blushing so hard she looked ready to steam, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

It was highly deceptive.

"My name is Gu An."

He raised a finger and pointed at Leng Yaozhu, who was standing behind him.

"This is Sister Yaozhu."

After a brief introduction, Gu An steered the conversation back to the main point.

"I happened to overhear you talking to yourself when I passed by just now."

"Something about wanting to add a spirit ring to your second martial soul."

"I only came over to stop you to prevent you from going down the wrong path."

Xiao Xiao blinked her eyes twice.

Whether it was because the lethality of Gu An's face was too high, or for some other reason, she actually listened to him just like that.

She didn't doubt the truth of what this stranger she was meeting for the first time was saying at all.

She tilted her head, a look of confusion appearing on her face.

"Why can't I add a spirit ring?"

Gu An looked left and right; the street was bustling with people, and it was not the place to talk.

"It's not convenient to talk here."

"Let's find a quiet place to chat."

Xiao Xiao barely hesitated before nodding directly.

"Okay."

Leng Yaozhu followed behind the two, watching as Xiao Xiao trailed after Gu An step by step, and the corner of her mouth twitched slightly.

This little girl.

Her vigilance was far too low.

Just because Gu An was good-looking, she followed him without a second thought.

When your character model is this good, you really can do whatever you want.

Xiao Xiao didn't even have the slightest thought of refusing, nor did she even ask, "Where are we going?"

The three of them crossed the street and arrived at a secluded little pavilion.

The surroundings grew quiet, with only the faint sounds of peddling drifting over from the distant street.

Gu An stopped, turned around to look at Xiao Xiao, and got straight to the point.

"You've already entered Shrek Academy, so do you still not know what a twin martial soul represents?"

He wasn't sure if Xiao Xiao adding a spirit ring to her second martial soul was something Zhou Yi had forced upon her, or if it was something Zhou Yi had forced upon her.

Even if she didn't know the power of a twin martial soul, she wouldn't just add a spirit ring to another martial soul for no reason, right?

So, he continued to ask.

"How much weight does the freshman assessment actually hold in your life?"

Xiao Xiao lowered her head and thought about it seriously.

Then, she looked up and answered honestly.

"It was only useful at the very beginning when we were being assigned to classes."

"It doesn't have much of an impact in other aspects."

In the original story.

The main reason Xiao Xiao wanted to be in the same class as Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong was actually because she had been captivated by Wang Dong's face.

Her infatuation had simply flared up.

But now, with Gu An standing in front of her, it directly shattered the filter she had for Wang Dong's face.

Simply put, her brain had taken the upper hand, and her heart was more interested in Gu An.

A mere Wang Dong could no longer influence her.

She was terrifyingly rational right now!

Hearing her answer, Gu An spread his hands.

"Exactly, you know it yourself; it only affects class assignments."

"With your twin martial souls, wouldn't it be wonderful to have all ten-thousand-year spirit rings for your second martial soul later on?"

"Do you not know the difference between a century-old spirit ring and a millennium-old spirit ring?"

"It's just a group stage match. Once you graduate, do you really think you'll be able to stick together every single day?"

"Your own future and becoming stronger yourself is what matters most."

Xiao Xiao fell silent.

She lowered her head, staring at her toes, her hands twisting together.

She understood the drawbacks of attaching a century-old spirit ring to the Nine-Phoenix Flute now.

But...

She looked up at Gu An, her small face filled with a troubled expression.

"But Teacher Zhou Yi said..."

"I chose the path of a Control-type spirit master, so I must have a Control-type spirit."

"Otherwise, she'll expel me."

Her voice grew quieter, her tone full of grievance.

"Besides, Teacher Zhou Yi also said that adding a spirit ring to my second spirit would not only solidify my path as a Control-type but also help the class monitor and Wang Dong during the freshman assessment."

After hearing this, Gu An exchanged a glance with Leng Yaozhu.

The same thought appeared in both of their eyes simultaneously.

The girl in front of them was a bit foolish.

Had the brainwashing from the Religious Academy started to take effect?

What type of spirit master one was, wasn't that just something one could claim for oneself?

If you say you're a Control-type, you're a Control-type; if you say you're a Power-attack type, you're a Power-attack type.

That didn't matter at all.

Didn't Wang Dong want to register as a Control-type despite being a Power-attack type at the beginning?

Besides, how is smashing an enemy to death not a form of control?

Gu An withdrew his gaze, looked at Xiao Xiao, and spoke in a flat tone.

"So what if you get expelled? Is Shrek Academy really such a great place?"

"You could join the academy I'm at instead."

Upon hearing this, the large eyes that had been dazed by Gu An's beauty suddenly regained their clarity.

She took half a step back, staring at Gu An with vigilance.

"You're trying to poach me."

Gu An did not deny it.

Xiao Xiao continued, her small face serious.

"Shrek Academy is the strongest academy on the continent. What academy could possibly be better than Shrek Academy?"

"Besides, the class monitor and Wang Dong are both very good to me. I won't leave Shrek Academy."

As she spoke, she puffed out her chest, her face clearly expressing, "I'm not stupid, don't even think about tricking me."

Gu An looked at her, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.

The arc was full of mockery.

"Very good to you?"

"I wouldn't say so. What kind of good academy would overdraft a student's future?"

"As for your teammates, instead of going to obtain a spirit ring right now, you should go ask Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong first."

"See for yourself whether they will try to persuade you otherwise or if they will follow Zhou Yi's demands."

"You should know very well which choice is best for your future."

Xiao Xiao's brows furrowed tightly, and she bit her lip.

She still believed in the friendship between them.

After all, they had fought together so many times, standing side by side ever since the freshman assessment began.

Confident, she put her hands on her hips, lifted her head, looked straight at Gu An, and raised her voice a little.

"Just you wait, I'm going to ask them right now."

"They will definitely try to stop me."

With that, Xiao Xiao turned to leave.

Gu An reached out and blocked her path.

Xiao Xiao stopped, turned her head, and looked at Gu An in confusion.

Gu An leaned in, bringing his face close to her ear.

The distance was very close.

Xiao Xiao could feel the hot breath Gu An exhaled brushing against her ear.

Her pretty face flushed a deep red in an instant.

At first, Xiao Xiao's heart raced and her face burned from the sensation of that warmth.

But as the content of Gu An's words entered her ears, the color drained from her face at a speed visible to the naked eye.

She whipped her head around, staring at Gu An with wide eyes, her pupils trembling slightly.

"Impossible."

"They wouldn't lie to me, they wouldn't isolate me."

Gu An looked at her, saying with an indifferent expression, "Why don't you just go to the academy and ask?"

Xiao Xiao's chest heaved violently a couple of times.

She gritted her teeth. "Fine! I'll go right now."

With that, she turned around and hurried off in the direction of Shrek Academy, looking dazed and dejected.

Her two short legs moved at a rapid pace.

Leng Yaozhu stood where she was, watching Xiao Xiao's retreating figure before turning her head to look at Gu An.

As a Limit Douluo, she had heard every word Gu An whispered into Xiao Xiao's ear clearly.

At such a close distance, it would have been a joke if she hadn't heard it.

There was a hint of curiosity in Leng Yaozhu's tone.

"Xiao An, is it really useful to say things like that?"

"Historically, the Spirit Ice Douluo and his wife were quite good to the Shrek's Seven Devils of their generation."

Gu An withdrew his gaze and shrugged his shoulders.

"Who knows."

"It doesn't matter if it works or not; I'm just testing the waters."

"It's not like I absolutely need Xiao Xiao."

"If she can understand, that's for the best."

"If she can't, and she ruins her twin martial souls, then she won't have any value left."

"I can just wait to summon Yuan'en Yehui later, or perhaps your disciple, the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena."

"Any one of them is better than Xiao Xiao."

He spread his hands, his face full of indifference.

Love at first sight was certainly impossible.

He wasn't a sycophant, and besides, older sisters were much more appealing.

He had just happened to run into Xiao Xiao and decided to give it a try while he was at it.

If it worked, great; if not, so be it.
