Phainon was instantly speechless at Qian Renxue's offer. He glanced at her.
Wang Dong heard Qian Renxue fanning the flames and asked, "Who are you? Why should I believe you?"
Qian Renxue smiled. "Because I'm Xue Qinghe, crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire."
Wang Dong heard the name.
She froze for a moment.
She hadn't expected to hear the name of a historical figure here.
Wasn't Xue Qinghe the Angel God Qian Renxue in disguise?
So she had arrived in this era.
If that was true, the person beside her had to be a Titled Douluo from Spirit Hall.
Whatever the case, she would agree for now.
The odds were stacked against her!
Wang Dong's eyes narrowed as she looked at Phainon. "Fine. Let's fight."
Phainon said casually, "A fight without a wager is no fun. If you lose, I have one condition."
Wang Dong frowned warily. "What condition?"
Phainon pointed at the clothes he wore and smiled.
"If you lose, you have to buy ten outfits from my shop."
Wang Dong's face turned green.
Her style was all blue and pink.
She was Shrek's school heartthrob and campus beauty all in one!
She would rather die than wear clothes that ugly.
But the arrow was already on the string. She had to shoot.
Besides, the Sky Curtain's reward had greatly increased her strength!
She wouldn't necessarily lose!
She would agree first.
Wang Dong said,
"Then you'd better watch out."
Phainon waved a hand.
Wang Dong unleashed the full force of her Soul Ancestor-level Soul Power. The dazzling butterfly wings of the Light Dragon God Butterfly burst into view behind her.
Yes, during her journey through time, her Martial Soul had fused with the Golden Dragon's bloodline.
Then a black Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring flared into view!
Even Qian Renxue and Snake Lance Douluo were stunned!
Was this the talent of a God King's daughter?
Wang Dong couldn't help smiling.
Her third Soul Skill had also been strengthened into Light Dragon God Slash.
If Phainon couldn't withstand this strike, she would have to pull back herself.
But in the next instant,
Phainon extended a single finger and lightly flicked Wang Dong's Light Dragon God Slash aside.
Phainon said easily,
"That's your strongest move? Looks like you've lost."
Wang Dong fell silent.
Was this bastard even human?
Even a Titled Douluo wouldn't dare take that move head-on with his bare body, would he?
Off to the side, Qian Renxue was stunned too.
She knew Phainon was powerful, but she hadn't imagined he was this powerful.
She looked at Snake Lance Douluo. He shook his head.
Even Snake Lance Douluo had to admit he couldn't do that.
Wang Dong, having lost, could only fulfill her promise, looking utterly miserable.
As they walked, Wang Dong stared at Heaven Dou City as it had been ten thousand years ago in surprise.
The books had never said yellow-and-purple clothes were fashionable in Heaven Dou City back then.
She had thought Phainon and Qian Renxue were the only two who liked wearing those colors!
They were hideous.
Phainon, meanwhile, looked smug.
"What do you think? I designed all these clothes."
Wang Dong looked at him with undisguised distaste.
"Beautiful, beautiful," she said without conviction.
The thought of buying Phainon's clothes made her feel as though her dashing image was about to be defiled.
Luckily, she was ten thousand years in the past, where no one knew her.
Otherwise, she wouldn't know how to face everyone at Shrek when she returned.
They arrived at Phainon's shop.
At Qian Renxue's suggestion, Wang Dong picked ten outfits at random.
She wouldn't wear them anyway.
She asked casually, "How much?"
Phainon smiled. "Five thousand Gold Soul Coins!"
Wang Dong: ...
She thought she had misheard!
Five thousand Gold Soul Coins!
That was enough to buy a piece of ordinary-quality thousand-year Whale Rubber.
Were these ugly clothes really worth that much?
"Why are your clothes so expensive? Are they made of gold?"
Phainon said solemnly, "Original design is priceless."
Qian Renxue nodded. "That's the price I've always paid."
Wang Dong was speechless. The two of them were clearly working together to fleece her.
But under someone else's roof, she had no choice but to bow her head.
She tried to take her Gold Soul Coins out of her Soul Tool.
But the Soul Tool had been slightly damaged during her journey through time.
She couldn't get the money out.
Wang Dong looked at Qian Renxue and Phainon, embarrassed.
"My Soul Tool is broken. I can't get my Gold Soul Coins out right now."
Phainon looked shocked.
"How can that be? You're a God King's daughter, and you can't even pay?"
Wang Dong flushed with embarrassment.
Phainon said with a straight face, "Then stay and work for me."
With another pair of hands around, I won't have to close the shop when I go fishing, Phainon thought.
Qian Renxue gave him a strange look. Had Phainon taken a fancy to her?
Wang Dong nearly passed out.
Was she supposed to work amid this sea of yellow and purple?
Before she could answer,
the Sky Curtain began to shift once more.
[Douluo Continent's most melancholy people, No. 6: Huo Yuhao]
At the sight of the Sky Curtain,
Wang Dong was stunned.
She knew Huo Yuhao had endured a difficult childhood.
But she hadn't expected him to make the list—and rank as even more miserable than she was.
Phainon teased her.
"If your buddy Huo Yuhao can travel through time too, maybe he can pay the Gold Soul Coins you owe."
Qian Renxue's expression turned odd.
"Phainon, now that you've said it, it might actually happen."
Thinking of Phainon's jinxing tongue, Qian Renxue almost lost her composure.
Wang Dong pursed her lips.
Part of her hoped Huo Yuhao could come to the same era. At least she wouldn't be so alone.
Another part of her hoped he wouldn't.
If Huo Yuhao really came, Shrek Academy would be finished!
There probably wouldn't even be any point in holding the finals.
In the world of Douluo II,
people across the continent stared at the Sky Curtain in shock.
"A second person from our era made the list, and he's with Wang Dong, the last one!"
"Shrek Academy's luck is absurd!"
At Sun Moon Royal Academy,
Xiao Hongchen saw Huo Yuhao make the list.
He clapped his hands.
"Now that's more like it. If Huo Yuhao gets a reward, he might put up a bit of a fight against us. Otherwise, this game is no fun at all."
Ma Rulong's gaze, however, was grave.
He didn't share Xiao Hongchen's attitude.
All he wanted was to win this match and prove the strength of Sun Moon Royal Academy.
Meanwhile,
the remaining Shrek Seven Devils, including Bei Bei and Ma Xiaotao, had different reactions to Huo Yuhao making the list.
They were all happy for him.
If Huo Yuhao received a powerful reward, their chances in the finals might improve.
But Ma Xiaotao looked especially downcast.
She asked,
"Yuhao, if you could travel back ten thousand years, would you go?"
Huo Yuhao paused.
He had entered Shrek Academy to grow stronger and eventually take revenge on the White Tiger Duke's family.
If someone had once told him he would travel ten thousand years into the past, he would have refused even if it killed him.
But now Wang Dong was ten thousand years in the past!
Wang Dong didn't know a single person there.
Even someone as proud as Wang Dong had to be lonely, didn't she?
What he didn't know was that Wang Dong had already settled into Heaven Dou City and become a clothing salesgirl.
