Douluo Continent: The Eternal Dawn

Chapter 49 Sister Lexuan, you will forgive me, right?

When Ye Xixuan arrived at the Martial Soul Department teaching building, classes had already ended.

As the twilight sun sets, the entire Poseidon Lake is bathed in a golden-red glow, like a reflection of the setting sun in the sky.

A petite figure leaned against the railing by Poseidon Lake, one delicate hand supporting her chin, her long black ponytail swaying back and forth with her cheerful movements. Her legs were straight and long, and a tantalizing expanse of white skin and alluring thigh-high socks peeked out from between her blue skirt and white knee-high stockings.

Her curvaceous figure already possessed some of the charm of a mature woman, yet it also exuded youthful energy.

Ye Xixuan silently walked behind Tang Ya, his gaze lingering slightly on that absolute territory before he smiled and called out softly.

"Sister Xiaoya."

"Ah!" Tang Ya was deep in thought when Ye Xixuan interrupted her, startling her. But when she turned around and saw that it was Ye Xixuan, a joyful smile instantly bloomed on her face.

"Xi Xuan!"

Before she could finish speaking, Tang Ya had already leaped up and clung to Ye Xixuan without any regard for her image. Her jade-like arms encircled Ye Xixuan's neck, and her intimate tone carried a hint of coquettishness.

Why are you so late?

"Something came up at the Soul Guidance Department and I was delayed a bit. Sister Xiaoya, you shouldn't have been waiting for long, right?" Ye Xixuan held Tang Ya's thighs with both hands, met her eyes, and smiled helplessly. He was now taller than Tang Ya, and with his deep eyes that were far more mature than those of his peers, the two looked like they were the same age.

He might even appear more mature.

Tang Ya jumped off Ye Xixuan and carefully examined him before feeling extremely satisfied.

Over the years, she has almost single-handedly molded Ye Xixuan into the most perfect version of herself, and the sense of accomplishment from this kind of nurturing is indescribable.

"I didn't have to wait long, but you have to make it up to me. You have to feed me well tonight!"

"Uh..." Upon hearing Tang Ya's words, Ye Xixuan felt a wave of dizziness. Although Tang Ya and Ma Xiaotao had completely different personalities, their words were equally easy to misinterpret.

If Ma Xiaotao usually teases him intentionally because she thinks she is mature enough in age and physiology, then Tang Ya often unintentionally says ambiguous things while wearing an innocent expression.

Seeing that Ye Xixuan did not make a move, Tang Ya grabbed his hand and impatiently walked towards the east gate of Shrek Academy.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and go! I'm going to eat everything today, hehe."

"Sister Xiaoya, slow down. No one's going to take it from you over there." Tang Ya pulled Ye Xixuan along, and he subconsciously quickened his pace, his nerves, which had been tense from long-term cultivation, seemed to relax.

Tang Yaming's carefree and cheerful personality always subtly influences those around her.

Not far away in Shrek Square, a melancholy-looking blue-haired boy kept a close eye on the situation. Even after Ye Xixuan and Tang Ya had blended into the crowd, he was still unable to come to his senses.

"Hey Beibei, everyone's gone, what are you still looking at?" Another tall boy came over. The two were Beibei and Xu Sanshi.

Beibei withdrew her gaze, glanced at her mischievous friend beside her, and said with a wistful tone, "Sanshi, do you think I still have a chance?"

"Do you really want to compete with Xi Xuan?" Xu Sanshi stared wide-eyed, speechless.

"Do you think matters of the heart are the same as battles? Whoever wins gets to marry the beauty? After all these years, can't you see Tang Ya's attitude towards Xi Xuan? I feel that they are so close that not even a fly can get in."

"Competition?" Bei Bei's expression darkened again. Could he really beat Xi Xuan in terms of cultivation talent and strength?

Although he had recently obtained his fourth spirit ring, he was well aware that he might not be confident of defeating Ye Xixuan. Moreover, the gap between the two would only widen in the future.

Taking a deep breath, Beibei seemed to revert to his usual self, a mischievous smile playing on his lips as he habitually spouted nonsense. "You've become a relationship guru, and you're still a virgin, aren't you?"

"I'll let you be smug for a few more days. When I come back next semester, I won't be the same person anymore," Xu Sanshi boasted smugly.

"And once I complete the awakening ritual, you'll never be able to outdo me again."

"I wonder which girl is blind enough to have taken a liking to you." Beibei looked innocent, but continued to belittle Xu Sanshi.

"Compared to your brother, what advantages do you have?"

"Of course it's because I'm older than you!"

……

Meanwhile, on the other side, Ye Xixuan stayed by Tang Ya's side and explored all the food stalls outside the east gate of the academy.

Tang Ya only stopped eating when her stomach was so full that she couldn't eat anymore.

The two then walked along the main road outside Shrek City to their residence in the south of Shrek City, taking a stroll after dinner to digest their food.

Tang Ya opened the courtyard gate with her key and stretched lazily in the yard.

"Okay, I'm going to sleep now that I'm full."

Ye Xixuan closed the door behind him and sat down on the bluestone steps to the side, admiring Tang Ya's beautiful body curves.

Noticing Ye Xixuan's gaze, Tang Ya giggled and stepped forward, plopping down next to Ye Xixuan.

"Xi Xuan, what are you looking at?"

“Sister Xiaoya, you’re so beautiful, it’s normal for me to take a second look, right?” Ye Xixuan replied in unison.

Tang Ya dangled her legs in the air, rocking back and forth as if she were sitting in a rocking chair, smiling.

"You have good taste! So tell me, who's prettier, me or Nan Nan?" It seems every girl has an inexplicable obsession with this kind of question.

Ye Xixuan was speechless for a long time. By the time Tang Ya reacted, her pretty face was already flushed, and she turned her head shyly to look at Ye Xixuan.

"Sister Xiaoya..." Ye Xixuan called softly, looking at Tang Ya.

Tang Ya finally realized something belatedly, turned around, reached out and cupped Ye Xixuan's cheeks with both hands, her eyes as clear as autumn water, and chuckled as if she were both angry and not angry.

"That little guy from back then has really grown up. Xi Xuan, do you like Sister Xiao Ya?"

"Hmm." Ye Xixuan calmed his slightly rapid breathing and then nodded honestly.

Looking at the charming and beautiful Tang Ya, his gaze became unfocused, and he couldn't help but think of Zhang Lexuan, who was in seclusion and cultivating.

"Sister Lexuan, you will forgive me, right?"

　Give me some monthly passes, bro.
