Douluo Continent: I, Tang Wulin, a Kamen Rider

Chapter 44 Home is a warm harbor

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin's face stiffened.

Goodness, he's completely unresponsive to both soft and hard approaches. What should I do?
Moreover, Tang Wulin felt that what this cold-hearted woman said made a lot of sense, and he was speechless!

Just as Tang Wulin was considering whether to republish the novel on a different platform, Leng Yaozhu's voice rang out again from the other side.

"However, although it is my duty, I am not the kind of person who does not know how to be flexible. After all, you are the younger brother I have watched grow up."

"Huh? Then what do you mean, Sister Leng?" Seeing that there was still hope, Tang Wulin immediately asked cautiously.

Meanwhile, seemingly sensing Tang Wulin's nervousness, Leng Yaozhu revealed a faint smile before slowly stating her purpose.

"It's very simple. Just answer one question for me, and send me your current photo, as well as your soul power level and martial soul type."

"Oh, by the way, you can think of this as a form of author verification."

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin was slightly taken aback.

"Real-name authentication? Didn't I already authenticate myself before?"

Leng Yaozhu responded with an air of "you're right".

"That's right, but you also said that the one you did was before your verification, and now it's now, do you understand?"

Hearing Leng Yaozhu's words, Tang Wulin fell silent.

Leng Yaozhu, seemingly unconcerned by Tang Wulin's silence, continued speaking to herself.

"By the way, I remember that this year the process for authors to withdraw their royalties seems to have a few more steps that require editorial review."

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin could no longer sit still and hurriedly called out.

"No, Sister Leng, just ask! I'll answer whatever you ask! I promise!"

Seeing this, Leng Yaozhu chuckled and said, "You said it yourself, little Linlin, I didn't force you, did I?"

"Yes, I said it. It was my own choice." Tang Wulin gritted his teeth and replied with a frustrated expression.

Upon hearing this, Leng Yaozhu laughed even louder.

"Hehe, that's great! My first question is, if you were the male lead in the story, who would you choose in that situation?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin fell silent.

Leng Yaozhu wasn't in a hurry; she just waited quietly for him to think it over.

After a long while, and until Leng Yaozhu became quite impatient, Tang Wulin finally spoke.

"Sister Leng, before I answer your question, I also have a question to ask you, is that alright?"

Upon hearing this, Leng Yaozhu was slightly taken aback, but still agreed.

"Okay, you can ask."

"Okay, my question is, are you still single? I mean, have you ever been married before? Who was that person? And, that..."

Upon hearing Tang Wulin's question, Leng Yaozhu's forehead suddenly furrowed, forming a "well" shape.

"Okay, stop asking questions. I know what you mean, but I'll tell you."

"I used to be single, I'm still single, and I'm still a virgin who's never been touched by anyone. Are you happy now?" Leng Yaozhu said irritably.

On the other side, Tang Wulin waved his hand hurriedly after hearing this.

"Ahem, Sister Leng, you've misunderstood me. I didn't mean anything by it. I just wanted to answer your question."

Seeing this, Leng Yaozhu rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"Alright, alright, now that you know, just answer me!"

Hearing Leng Yaozhu's urging, Tang Wulin touched his nose.

Based on the available information, he has roughly figured out the true ending of this story.

That is, it seems that his cold older sister and her younger sister had a falling out because of a boy.

And so it went, it seems neither of them ended up with the boy.

And

so.
"Ahem," Tang Wulin cleared his throat and mentally prepared his words.

"If it were me, I wouldn't choose either of them."

Upon hearing this, Leng Yaozhu's pen snapped instantly.

Could it be that in his eyes, the two sisters were truly so worthless? Whether it was Yun Ming or Tang Wulin, were she and her sister really like roadside weeds, not worth a glance?
In an instant, all the past frustrations and self-pride surged into her heart, causing Leng Yaozhu's anger to ignite.

Yes, it literally ignited.

Suddenly, a burst of Phoenix True Fire erupted from her body, clinging to her skin and burning her clothes to ashes.

But it did not continue to burn outwards.

"why?"

Suppressing her anger, Leng Yaozhu asked Tang Wulin.

In response, Tang Wulin replied in a rational tone, "There's no reason why. If I had to choose, I would only choose the person I love."

"But they are just people who love me, not people I love!"

Upon hearing this, Leng Yaozhu was taken aback, and a beautiful and sacred image involuntarily appeared in her mind.

Yali!

Then, her anger seemed to be extinguished by a bucket of cold water, and she instantly became listless.

Yes, Ya Li is the one Yun Ming likes.

For Ya Li, whom he loves, Yun Ming is even willing to single-handedly storm into the Federation to bring her back.

But when faced with women he didn't like, Yun Ming simply avoided them out of embarrassment, knowing their feelings for him.

Meanwhile, just as Leng Yaozhu's heart was gradually turning to ashes, Tang Wulin continued to speak.

"Of course, if I had to choose, in some cases, if any of the older sisters are still willing, then I would try to be with that older sister."

Upon hearing this, Leng Yaozhu's dim phoenix eyes suddenly lit up.

"In what situation are you referring to? And why did you choose the older sister instead of the younger sister?"

At that moment, Leng Yaozhu was like a drowning person grabbing a lifeline, chasing after him.

In response, Tang Wulin said with a complicated tone, "It should be when my beloved is not around."

"After all, as a boy, well... and a novelist who writes romance novels."

"So I do know a little about what it's like for a guy to be admired by a girl."

"It's a feeling that can't be described in words, but relatively speaking."

"When a boy finds out that a girl admires him, even if he has no feelings for her, he will still be able to change his mind."

"But in my heart, I will also reserve a special place for her and feel a special affection for her that is different from that for others."

"After all, this is her way of acknowledging him, and this kind of affection is inevitable because it is the instinct of every male."

"But it's only a slight difference. If my beloved is always with me, then this different feeling will only be suppressed in my heart indefinitely!"

Tang Wulin paused for a moment before continuing.

"However, if my beloved is not here, and there is another woman who is still single and still has feelings for me."

"As time goes by, and I emerge from the shadows, I may try to accept that older woman."

"Of course, I would never consider that younger sister."

"Because in my eyes, home is a warm harbor, a final refuge!"

"And to hate one's family members who love one because of someone who doesn't love one—I think that person is incredibly foolish."

"Such a foolish, love-struck woman who doesn't know how to cherish her family, and such a complete idiot like that old woman, if possible, I think it's better to stay away from her!"

Upon hearing this, Leng Yaozhu fell silent. After a long while, she smiled.

She smiled easily and happily.

Because she now fully understands Tang Wulin's words.

That's right. Even if she were to take Yun Ming's place back then, in matters of love, she would only choose the person she loves, not the person who loves her.

Just like the ancient Dongfeng that had been clamoring to like itself.

No matter how much he liked her, Leng Yaozhu would not have any feelings for him; all she felt was indifference and disregard.

So, unless Yali dies suddenly, what hope does she have that she can straighten Yunming's heart?

After her thoughts were cleared, the already precarious figure of Yun Ming in Leng Yaozhu's heart truly vanished like a bubble.
