Douluo Continent: I, Tang Wulin, a Kamen Rider

Chapter 128 Minotaur, Die!

Seeing this, Xie Xie could no longer maintain his aloof and cool persona. He immediately abandoned his aloof demeanor and reverted to his usual goofy self.

"Go away, go eat your food. This is a special bond between us guys. What do you, a girl, know? Didn't you see that Gu Yue hasn't said anything?"

Gu Yue: What can I say?

What does she have to say?
Xie Xie isn't a girl, so why should she care what he's thinking?

The child is so naughty, he's probably spoiled. Wouldn't a good beating solve the problem?
However, she couldn't really be ruthless towards Xie Xie in front of Tang Wulin, could she?
So she didn't bother to ruin her image in Tang Wulin's eyes. After all, with Xu Xiaoyan, that little green-clad little sister, around, she really couldn't appear too violent.

Well, at least, she can't be too violent towards Tang Wulin's trusted friends!
Xie Xie, who was completely unaware of all this, stood up with a smug look on his face after watching Xu Xiaoyan remain silent in dismay.

Without even glancing at Yuan En, he went straight up to Tang Wulin and pulled him to sit on a stool next to him.

"Hehe, I knew it. Wu Lin is my good brother. What happened today was my fault."

"Come here, I'll have one, as an apology for my rudeness today."

After saying that, Xie Xie picked up the orange juice on the table and started swirling it in his mouth.

Seeing Xie Xie revert to his usual goofy self, Tang Wulin speechlessly gestured for Yuan En to sit down beside him.

"Sorry, Yuanen, you must have seen this funny. But under normal circumstances, we're still pretty normal. I hope you don't mind."

Seeing this, Yuan En shook his head and said, "It's nothing. I quite like the atmosphere of your team."

Yes, she really likes it.

Because this scene of friends joking around with each other was exactly what she had longed for before!
There was no discrimination, no disdain, just playful banter between friends!
This is the warmth that her brother Wu Lin brings her!

After a long time, with Tang Wulin's deliberate assistance, everyone ate and chatted.

The slightly awkward atmosphere from just now completely dissipated.

Xie Xie even offered juice instead of alcohol to Yuan En to apologize for his rudeness that day.

Then, he performed a juice spinning trick on the spot.

Xie Xie's abstract scene made Yuan En's lips twitch.

"As expected, I only need Brother Wu Lin."

Looking at the unruly Xie Xie, Yuan En couldn't help but think to himself.

"Oh right, Senior Yuanen, Wulin said you were the only one in your dorm. How many of us work-study students are there in the other dorms now?"

After finishing his juice, Xie Xie wiped his mouth and asked.

Yuan En glanced at him and said, "There's no one left, just me. There were originally six of us. But this year, two seniors graduated. Two more were admitted to the inner academy, and one was expelled. So, only I am left. Oh, right, and you guys too, that makes a total of five people."

Just then, someone walked up to their table.

"You're the only one? Who are you kidding? Where's the red-haired girl?"

Upon seeing this, Yuan En frowned and looked up at Le Zhengyu, who was carrying a tray of food.

You really are a persistent ghost!

Le Zhengyu said with a righteous expression, "Tch, I didn't ask you, I asked Tang Wulin. Moreover, eliminating evil spirits is the duty of every angel soul master, and I have no choice but to do so!"

"So, if you also know about that red-haired girl, you'd better not help her keep it a secret. Otherwise, once I catch her doing something wrong, you'll be in big trouble."

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin frowned slightly.

"If you're just here for a normal meal, then you're welcome. But if you're here to cause trouble..."

"You'd better bring evidence, or I don't mind taking you to the ring."

Seeing Tang Wulin's serious expression, Le Zhengyu suddenly laughed and then unceremoniously pulled over a chair and sat down.

"Don't worry, I'm really not here to cause trouble. After all, my target is only that fallen angel, not you guys."

"Oh right, I remember that work-study students have to pay for their own meals, right? Well, to express my apologies for my previous rudeness, let me treat everyone to a meal this time," Yue Zhengyu said generously.

"No need," Tang Wulin shook his head.

Le Zhengyu was slightly taken aback, then looked Tang Wulin up and down before speaking slowly.

"It seems I misjudged you. Although you have a delicate and feminine face, you are surprisingly strong-willed."

Hearing this, Xu Xiaoyan couldn't help but say, "Hmph, you always talk about Wu Lin's appearance, but you're not much better looking yourself!"

"Besides, we've already paid for all our meals today, you're late."

Le Zhengyu was stunned for a moment again.

"Then tomorrow."

Seeing this, Xu Xiaoyan once again pretended to be "disdainful" and said.

"Tomorrow? Forget it, you really have the nerve to say that. If you're a real man, you should just book the whole semester!"

Upon hearing this, Le Zhengyu smiled knowingly and said to Xu Xiaoyan.

Whether I'm a man or not is none of your business, but what's wrong with covering your meals for a semester? Consider it a gift to my friends.

Upon hearing this, Xie Xie stood up as if in a state of shock.

Damn, another partner?
Another person is trying to steal Wu Lin from him?

Is it because I, Xie Xie, can't lift a knife anymore?

They really don't treat Xie Xie like a human being, do they?

Damn it, you minotaur!
"Partner? Hey, what exactly do you mean?!"

"Wu Lin and us are not your partners! Besides, I remember you weren't a work-study student!"

Xie Xie questioned, dissatisfied.

Le Zhengyu smiled slightly: "No, no, no, this student, it's not up to you to decide, it's up to the teacher."

"I'm sorry, I just applied for work-study student status with the college this afternoon, and it has been approved."

"So now I'm a work-study student too, how can we not be partners?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin raised an eyebrow and looked at Le Zhengyu.

Le Zhengyu looked at him with a smug expression.

"What, you don't welcome me? I listened to what you said, and instead of taking force, I honestly looked for evidence."

"You can't stop me from doing that, can you?"

Seeing this, Tang Wulin shook his head and said.

"No, it's just that you're sure you'll cover our meals for the whole semester? Do you have that many contribution points?"

Upon hearing this, Le Zhengyu said with a proud expression.

"Hmph, I may not have many contribution points, but I have plenty of Federal Coins."

"Based on the current exchange rate between academy contribution points and federal currency, it's about one to one hundred."

"Besides, my family has quite a few businesses in Shrek City. It's just one semester, what's so difficult about that?"

Seeing that Yue Zhengyu was so open about his background, Tang Wulin and Xu Xiaoyan exchanged a glance and then smiled knowingly at each other.

There's no way around it; it would be a huge loss not to take advantage of such a spoiled brat who's practically offering himself up! If Le Zhengyu's financial situation weren't so great, Tang Wulin definitely wouldn't have agreed.

After all, he was quite aware of his own tastes.

Since Yue Zhengyu hadn't really offended him, he didn't want to deliberately tease Yue Zhengyu.

But who can blame him when he's so confident and rich?

Such a convenient perk for idiots, why not take it?
It's because his appetite is indeed quite large.

"Alright, you can sit here."

As he spoke, Tang Wulin moved closer to Yuan En, making room for Le Zhengyu.

Seeing this, Yue Zhengyu nodded with satisfaction, then sat down with his plate.

However, before he could even eat, Tang Wulin's voice rang in his ears.

"By the way, seeing how rich you are, do you need any metal forging or anything?"

"I forgot to tell you, I'm a blacksmith. As you know, we work-study students are all pretty poor."

Le Zhengyu was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then looked Tang Wulin up and down, and the next second, a hint of contempt appeared on his face.

"With your build and appearance, are you sure you're a blacksmith and not a bartender?"

Seeing that Yue Zhengyu was subtly criticizing him, Tang Wulin was not annoyed. After all, he had been questioned more than once or twice because of his appearance and physique.

Even Gu Yue and the others were already used to it and too lazy to argue with Le Zhengyu anymore.

After all, judging from Tang Wulin's face and physique, no one would think he's a blacksmith, right?
"I know you might have some doubts about my appearance, but look at this."

As he spoke, Tang Wulin took out his Level 5 Blacksmith Badge and handed it to Le Zhengyu.

Born into the Holy Angels family, Le Zhengyu was naturally well-informed, and he was immediately taken aback when he saw the Level 5 badge.

"You...you're a level five blacksmith?"

"Yeah." Tang Wulin nodded.

"How old are you this year?" Le Zhengyu's eyes began to flicker, and there was no longer a trace of disdain in them.

"Thirteen."

"Interesting. It seems that many part-time students are indeed eccentric geniuses!"

"Um, it's alright. I think I'm just average. What about you? How old are you?" Tang Wulin asked with some curiosity.

Le Zhengyu said, "I'm fifteen years old, but you're quite extraordinary. I take back what I said to you before. I've never heard of a level five blacksmith your age. Since you're so skilled at blacksmithing, I'll have you blacksmith my forging from now on!"

"That would be perfect, but as for the price..." Tang Wulin paused for a moment, then silently looked at Le Zhengyu.

"Tch, it's no big deal. I'll just give it to you normally. I'm not short of money!" Le Zhengyu said with a wave of his hand.

Seeing this, Tang Wulin nodded in satisfaction.

And so, everyone ate dinner together.

"Indeed, I enjoyed this meal very much. In that case, you can use this meal card from now on. I'll be leaving now."

Watching Le Zhengyu's proud departing figure and the meal card left on the table, Xie Xie complained speechlessly.

"What a foolish son of a landlord!"

Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged glances and smiled, their unspoken understanding unspoken.

That's right, after their conversation during dinner, they discovered...

Le Zhengyu seems a bit too naive and inexperienced.

They're just like bookworms who only know how to study, except for their pride in their angelic family.

Everything seemed to be filmed in slow motion, leaving people in awe.

He's just like a young master from a large family who stays at home all day and doesn't interact with many people his age.

"Forget it, let's ignore him. Gu Yue, you take it."

"Oh, right, just like I said, remember to apply for an association."

"Otherwise, if we only take the tasks assigned by the Academic Affairs Office, who knows how long it would take to accumulate contribution points."

As they spoke, Tang Wulin handed the meal card to Gu Yue with remarkable ease.

Seeing this, Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan nodded and had no objection.

After all, in their three-person team, everyone listened to Tang Wulin.

However, Tang Wulin only gets serious and uses his captain's authority during battles.

In general, they listen to Gu Yue in their daily lives.

However, this scene made Yuan En, who had just joined the group, feel a tightness in his chest.

Gu Yue took the meal card from Tang Wulin's hand with remarkable ease.

Suddenly, a thought arose in Yuan En's mind that he wanted to replace Gu Yue!

Because she also wanted to hold Tang Wulin's hand so naturally, and she also wanted to be trusted by Tang Wulin like that!

Gradually, although Yuanen was still sitting in the same spot, she could no longer hear what the people were talking about.

Because she was already immersed in the wonderful life she would have with Tang Wulin after switching identities and appearances with Gu Yue.

"Brother Wu Lin."

However, what Yuanen didn't know was that while she was dreaming of replacing Gu Yue and living a wonderful life with Tang Wulin...

The Fallen Angel Martial Soul within her body was also radiating a mysterious black light and a captivating aura.

The next day comes quickly.

Seemingly aware that Tang Wulin and the others didn't like her very much, Cai Yue'er, the dean of the outer academy, didn't appear in front of everyone even once after the assessment day.

"Today we're electing class officers. First, I'll announce the candidate for one of them. Our forging committee member is Tang Wulin," Shen Yi began.

Tang Wulin and the others were not surprised at all by this appointment.

After all, being a level 5 blacksmith is no joke. Normally, if Tang Wulin didn't want to be separated from his companions, he would have done so.

Tang Wulin is now a student of the Inner Academy along with Gu Yue.

"Stand up, so all the students can see you," Shen Yi said.

Tang Wulin stood up, turned around, and faced all his classmates.

These boys and girls, all between the ages of thirteen and fifteen, looked at him with varying expressions.

The girls mostly wore kind expressions, for a simple reason: Tang Wulin was simply too handsome.

Even Wu Changkong, a mature and aloof young man standing on the podium, is not as handsome as Tang Wulin!
Among the bustling students, Tang Wulin, who stood up, stood out like a unique sight.

His hair was as white as snow, and his face looked as if it had been carefully sculpted by a god, with every line perfectly proportioned.

The current storyline is indeed a bit weak... I'll speed up the main plot as soon as possible~ [After Shrek Academy, it's all fighting chapters and progressing through the main storyline]
