Douluo Continent: The Ruler of Time, Reigning Supreme

Chapter 37 Date?

"No, I have to go and see."

Xu Yun's curiosity instantly overwhelmed her fear of her aunt. She grabbed the still bewildered Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo, and then called over Dai Luoli.

"Quick, let's follow them and see what my aunt and Yin Chen are up to."

……

Outside the academy, Yin Chen followed Xu Jiujiu into the carriage.

Inside the carriage, the refreshing fragrance became even stronger.

Yin Chen's gaze involuntarily fell on Xu Jiujiu beside him several times.

It must be said that compared to the chattering little girls around him, a beautiful, elegant, intelligent, and respected woman like Xu Jiujiu was undoubtedly much more attractive to him, a person whose soul was that of an adult.

Her beauty is not just her appearance, but a comprehensive charm that blends power, wisdom, and allure.

Xu Jiujiu naturally noticed the occasional glances from Yin Chen, but she didn't think much of it, after all, Yin Chen was still young.

She smiled gently and said:

"I heard you beat up that kid Dai Huabin again? And you even showed off your second-best spirit ring in a thousand years?"

Her tone was appreciative:

“Dai Huabin is the most outstanding talent of the White Tiger Duke’s Mansion this generation. His talent is even stronger than his older brother who has already entered Shrek Academy’s inner court. I am very happy that you have been able to keep him under control. This shows that my brother and I have made the right judgment and that the resources we have invested in these two years have not been wasted.”

Yin Chen humbly replied, "It's all thanks to Sister Jiu Jiu's guidance."

"Why are you so polite to me?"

After a long pause, he waved his hand, then his purple eyes sparkled with curiosity and amazement.

"However, your second soul skill, 'The Other Side of Me,' is truly eye-opening. When Grandma Manyi told me about it, I was still incredulous. The original body is in different time phases... This is simply unbelievable. Theoretically, as long as your soul power is sufficient, even a Title Douluo cannot directly harm you during the duration of the soul skill, right? This is many times superior to those so-called 'invincible golden body' defensive soul skills."

Her analysis was incisive, and she gave Yin Chen's soul skills a very high evaluation.

Yin Chen nodded:

"That's the theory, but it consumes a lot of resources and can't be used for proactive attacks."

"Even so, it's still incredibly amazing," Xu Jiujiu sighed.

As they were talking, the carriage did not head towards the imperial city, but instead stopped in the most bustling commercial district of Xingluo City.

"Let's go, I'll show you how to relax today. It's pretty boring to always be training at the academy."

Xu Jiujiu got out of the car with a smile and naturally led Yin Chen into the bustling crowd.

She first took Yin Chen to several famous dessert shops, where they sampled some exquisitely shaped and sweet-tasting soul beast milk cakes and specialty fruit juices.

Then, they strolled along the bustling streets, stopping to look at interesting trinkets or novel local products.

Afterwards, Xu Jiujiu led Yin Chen into a clothing store with exquisite decorations that catered exclusively to Soul Master nobles.

"Pick out a few well-fitting clothes for him, made of the best materials, and the style... should be suitable for daily activities, but also not lacking in elegance."

After a long while, he gave instructions to the respectfully approaching shopkeeper, and then, without further ado, told Yin Chen to try on the clothes.

When Yin Chen emerged, dressed in a well-tailored, luxurious black outfit with silver trim, a gleam flashed in Xu Jiujiu's eyes, and she nodded in satisfaction.

"Great, very stylish. This is the one. Wrap it up. There are a few other sets I like too, wrap them up as well."

"Sister Jiu Jiu, this..."

Yin Chen was about to say something.

"Don't be shy with me." Xu Jiujiu interrupted him, then decisively took out a crystal card and handed it to the shop owner.

"Bill, please."

Seeing Xu Jiujiu pay a large sum of money for him without batting an eye, Yin Chen held the new clothes, and the feeling of being a "kept man" grew stronger.

This includes shopping accompaniment, dining companionship, and even paying the bill... it all seems like...

At that moment, in a secluded spot on the street corner, four little heads were peeking out furtively.

It was Xu Yun, Lan Susu, Lan Luoluo, and Dai Luoli who had followed them.

They watched Yin Chen and Xu Jiujiu walking side by side on the street. Xu Jiujiu would occasionally turn her head to talk and laugh with Yin Chen. The atmosphere between the two was harmonious.

Watching Xu Jiujiu take Yin Chen into the store to buy clothes, personally choosing clothes for him, and even paying for them herself...

"Oh my god... Princess... she really is buying clothes for Brother Yinchen."

Lan Susu covered her mouth, her eyes wide open.

"I...I still have to pay."

Lan Luoluo was also stunned.

"They're walking together...they seem...quite a good match?"

Dai Luoli blurted out something silly.

Xu Yun looked at the handsome man and beautiful woman in the distance—Yin Chen was only eight years old, but his height was already close to that of a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy. Coupled with his outstanding appearance and calm temperament, standing next to the peerless Xu Jiujiu, apart from his slightly immature face, there was no sense of incongruity at all. On the contrary, there was a strange harmony.

The thought of her future uncle-in-law became clearer in her mind, making her shiver involuntarily, while at the same time she couldn't suppress her burning gossip spirit.

"Oh no... I feel like I'm going to have another uncle-in-law..."

Xu Yun muttered to herself, her expression extremely complicated.

Yin Chen, who was on the street, seemed to sense something and looked back at the street corner. He happened to see those few small heads that hurriedly shrank back and couldn't help but shake his head helplessly.

This guy's "gold digger" lifestyle is probably becoming common knowledge.

What level of cultivation does Xu Jiujiu possess? As the Star Luo Princess, she has abundant resources, and her soul power level is already close to that of a Soul Master. Her senses are incredibly sharp.

If Yin Chen could sense that the little guys were following her, how could she be completely unaware?
She deliberately led Yin Chen around the commercial district several times, and even went into a store that specializes in women's jewelry. Sure enough, through the reflection of the store's shiny crystal window, she could clearly see the four sneaky little heads that thought they were hiding well.

Xu Jiujiu's lips curled into a half-smile as he whispered to Yin Chen, who was admiring a jade ornament:
"It seems we have a few loose ends to deal with."

Yin Chen nodded helplessly; it seemed those little guys were going to suffer.

Without further delay, he led Yin Chen into a relatively quiet alley, but not a dead end.

Xu Yun and the others, without suspecting anything, quickly followed him inside.

Just as they were peering around, searching for their target, Xu Jiujiu's figure appeared silently at the alley entrance like a ghost, blocking their escape route.

"Did you have fun, Xu Yun?"

After a long while, she crossed her arms and looked at her niece, who had frozen in place, with a half-smile, drawing out her words.

"Ah, Aunt... Auntie!"

Xu Yun was so startled that she almost dropped the candied hawthorn in her hand.

Lan Susu, Lan Luoluo, and Dai Luoli were like frightened quails, quickly lowering their heads and not daring to breathe.
