Xiao Xiao and the other women blushed, but did not refute.

Afterwards, everyone ate breakfast.

Nan Qiuqiu adores Gu Yunxiao, personally feeding him all sorts of breakfasts without any attempt to hide it from Jiang Nannan and the others.

This scene caused Jiang Nannan and the other women's lips to twitch.

They thought Nan Qiuqiu would be shy, but it turned out they were overthinking it.

However, this is for the best.

After dinner, Jiang Nannan and the others went off to play by themselves. But actually, they all went to tease and joke with Nan Qiuqiu.

Nan Qiuqiu wasn't shy at first, but Jiang Nannan and the others asked some rather provocative questions, making it hard for her not to feel shy.

Gu Yunxiao didn't pay any attention to this and let them do as they pleased.

Today is the second day of the Soul Fighting Tournament, but he still has no interest in watching it. Instead, he plans to take a stroll around Star Luo City.

Most people go to watch the game, so there's no need to squeeze into crowds, which suits him perfectly.

Star Luo City, the crisscrossing streets were deserted, and many shops were closed, with signs saying things like "Open after the match".

Clearly, all these people were watching the competition at Star Luo Plaza.

Of course, not all shops were closed; quite a few remained open, with people occasionally glancing inside.

Gu Yunxiao walked down the street, looking left and right, occasionally going into a shop to buy something to try.

"After many years away, some places have changed. The introduction of Soul Tool has led to the rapid development of this city."

"This is also something Dragon City urgently needs."

Gu Yunxiao thought to himself.

Dragon City is still in the 'traditional' stage. Although the Dragon God Hall is leading the development of Soul Tool, there are not many excellent Soul Engineer.

Compared to the development of Soul Tool in Star Luo City, Dragon City was undoubtedly much slower.

"I should make a trip to the Sun Moon Empire when I have time. It's a gathering place for Soul Engineer Soul Engineer; recruiting a few shouldn't be a problem."

"Especially those who possess the talent for Soul Tool but lack Soul Power cultivation, and are Soul Engineer with Dragon Clan Martial Soul."

Gu Yunxiao's thoughts of poaching people resurfaced.

His expectations for Dragon City are definitely for all-round development, whether it is Soul Master or Soul Engineer, both should be pursued.

After all, the future Douluo Continent will belong to the Soul Tool.

"Um?"

As Gu Yunxiao walked, he suddenly saw a beautiful figure standing in front of him. The person was standing still, deep in thought, seemingly lost.

Of course, these are not the main points.

The key point is that the woman was wearing a moon-white uniform with sun, Sun Moon, and star patterns embroidered on her chest, clearly indicating that she came from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.

"Meng Hongchen?"

Based on the woman's appearance, figure, and temperament, Gu Yunxiao guessed her identity.

"Why does it look different after just two streets? Where am I...?" Meng Hongchen looked left and right, muttering to herself.

Gu Yunxiao behind him heard it all clearly.

"This little directionally challenged guy is lost again?" Gu Yunxiao couldn't help but chuckle to himself. "Still the same as before, a bit clueless."

Meng Hongchen, who was ahead, seemed to sense that someone was watching her. She subconsciously turned around and glanced at Gu Yunxiao.

She only glanced at it before quickly regaining her senses.

However, she suddenly remembered something, quickly turned around, and stared straight at Gu Yunxiao.

"You are... Gu Yunxiao?" Meng Hongchen asked, looking at the incredibly handsome boy in front of her. "The captain of the Dragon God Team."

For some reason, she felt that Gu Yunxiao in front of her looked a lot like the boy in her memory.

The two have similar facial features, especially their purple eyes, which are almost identical.

"Um."

Gu Yunxiao nodded. "The Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy Team?"

Meng Hongchen hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

She opened her mouth, wanting to ask if Gu Yunxiao was the boy she remembered, but she didn't know how to start.

It wouldn't be good if there was a misunderstanding.

She was still unaware of the Dragon God Hall's attitude towards the Sun Moon Empire.

"Lost again?"

Gu Yunxiao smiled and asked meaningfully, "Little directionally challenged guy, where's your brother?"

These words were spoken.

"Boom!"

Meng Hongchen felt as if her mind had been struck by a heavy hammer, and her brain went completely blank.

Lost again? You're hopelessly directionally challenged? Where's your brother?

The content, the tone, the expression—it's clearly the same boy from back then.

"You... you are him!" Meng Hongchen looked at Gu Yunxiao before her, her face visibly flushed with excitement. "You really are him!"

"It seems you still remember me."

Gu Yunxiao smiled slightly, then changed the subject, jokingly saying, "I never thought that the little directionally challenged kid from back then could represent the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy in the Soul Fighting Tournament."

"Didn't expect that?"

Meng Hongchen stepped forward, angrily asking, "Am I really that bad?"

"Soul King's man, yet he still gets lost," Gu Yunxiao said with a chuckle.

Meng Hongchen blushed and immediately retorted, "No, I just forgot the name of the shop and where it was. I'm not lost."

"Take me back to the Hotel."

Gu Yunxiao suddenly spoke.

"Ah... ah?" Meng Hongchen was stunned for a moment, the blush that had just faded from her face quickly rising again, her face full of shyness. "No, you can't, you can't do this."

Upon witnessing this scene...

Gu Yunxiao immediately realized that this girl had misunderstood.

"I'm asking you where the Star Emperor Hotel is?" Gu Yunxiao asked.

"So that's what it was. I thought..."

Meng Hongchen's face grew even redder. After taking a deep breath, she pointed in a certain direction, "I remember it's over there."

When she said this, Meng Hongchen's eyes darted around, and she lacked confidence.

Clearly, she couldn't remember very well either.

"Really? I think it was over here. I just came out." A sly glint flashed in Gu Yunxiao's eyes as he pointed in another direction.

"..."

Meng Hongchen remained silent for a while, then nodded. "Yes, it's over there. I was mistaken just now."

"Oh, I remember now, it should be this way."

"Maybe... it might be."

"I'm just kidding, it's over there you were pointing to." Gu Yunxiao looked at Meng Hongchen with a smile, finding it amusing.

"You!"

Meng Hongchen, her face flushed with embarrassment and anger, puffed out her cheeks and huffed, "Gu Yunxiao, you're bullying me!"

She realized that Gu Yunxiao was just teasing her; what a scoundrel.

She used to be so cute and kind, how did she become so scheming and ruthless as she grew up? She's not fun at all, it's infuriating!

"That's because you just stare blankly when you're lost."

Gu Yunxiao smiled, then changed the subject, asking, "Where's your brother? Knowing you'd get lost, he still let you come out alone?"

"I came out on my own, and..."

Meng Hongchen's face flushed slightly, and her voice was barely audible. "Even if I get lost, I'll ask passersby for directions, and they'll all tell me."

"Wearing the uniform of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy Team, are you really not afraid of running into bad guys?" Gu Yunxiao admired Meng Hongchen's audacity.

"For example... you?" Meng Hongchen tilted her head, a broad smile on her face.

"I'm a villain, more dangerous than a bad guy," Gu Yunxiao said casually.
