Douluo Continent: Ultimate Sea God Dragon, Inheriting Two Godhoods
Chapter 7: The Deprivation of Childhood May Take a Lifetime to Make Up
The morning light shone through the gauze curtains and into the room from outside the window, dappling the bed with light spots. Some of the light fell on the eyelids of the boy who was meditating cross-legged, thus waking him up.
"call--"
After a night of meditation, Ouyang Ling exhaled a breath of stale air, and a visible mist of water turned into a pale white, cold aura, causing wisps of frost to appear in the air in front of him.
His eyes snapped open, and a deep blue swept across them.
"A new day, embrace the sun..."
Muttering to himself, he stretched vigorously. After stretching his legs, Ouyang Ling slowly climbed out of bed and went straight to the window, lifting the curtain.
But the next second, a strange face appeared before my eyes.
"Whoa—"
They were almost face to face, separated by at most a window.
Startled by this, Ouyang Ling reacted instinctively in battle, throwing a heavy punch as if by reflex.
"Click—"
Amid the sound of the window being smashed, Qian Renxue's beautiful yet helpless voice came from that unfamiliar face.
"Xiao Ling, why are you reacting so strongly?"
The sound acted like a pause button, stopping the fist just an inch from Qian Renxue's face, which was already tilted back.
"Sister Xue'er?"
In response, Qian Renxue placed her hand on her jawline.
As golden hair fell, "rip—"
Beneath the face mask, her appearance was revealed once more.
Therefore, this is a disguise.
The moment his identity was confirmed, a helpless half-moon look flashed in Ouyang Ling's eyes, followed by a look of confusion.
This wasn't an act; I genuinely didn't understand.
Why do you pretend at home?
"That's because we're going out, of course."
The bracelet on her wrist flashed with soul power fluctuations, and the next second, a new human face mask appeared in Qian Renxue's hand.
He grabbed one in each hand and waved them around.
"But it's not just me, it's the two of us."
"Huh?"
……
In a corner of Tiandou City, a gate that was usually almost always closed was opened again today, a rare sight indeed, and a man and a woman walked out.
Their faces are unremarkable; if they were thrown onto the street, people would probably just think they are an ordinary brother and sister.
"Sister Xue'er, do I need to pretend?"
Ouyang Ling suppressed her discomfort and touched her cheek with her hand.
Don't you say,
Wearing a face mask for the first time is itchy. It's not only uncomfortable, but you also have an urge to tear it off.
"Of course it's necessary."
Qian Renxue held Ouyang Ling's hand, her attitude upright.
"I want to go out and have fun, but I can't let my identity be exposed, so I can't be too careful. Also, don't forget what I told you..."
She lowered her head and met Ouyang Ling's gaze, who was looking up at the same time.
Suddenly, a smile appeared on Qian Renxue's lips.
"You are only allowed to call me 'sister' now."
What a nice view!
Although the face mask had concealed Qian Renxue's true appearance, revealing only an ordinary face, at this moment, Ouyang Ling seemed to see through her eyes and into her soul, thus projecting a clear image of her into his mind.
In addition, Qian Renxue was different today; the palace dress she was used to seeing had been replaced with more appropriate attire.
The pale purple embellishments, a delicate color, perfectly captured the girl's purity and unique elegance. A pair of trousers beautifully accentuated her slender, long legs, highlighting their curves, and the young woman's figure was now fully revealed…
All these factors combined caused Ouyang Ling to momentarily lose his composure.
Fortunately, the face mask concealed his expression, preventing it from being revealed.
"Xiao Ling, what are you thinking about?"
While Ouyang Ling was still in a daze, Qian Renxue waved her hand in front of his eyes. Only when his gaze refocused did she ask again, "Are you thinking about your sister's identity?"
"no."
Ouyang Ling shook his head in denial, saying he already knew.
"So what were you thinking about just now?"
"I just, I just..."
When asked this question,
Ouyang Ling stammered and couldn't say a word.
Answer truthfully?
I might be seen as a pervert.
His hesitation, however, was interpreted differently by Qian Renxue. Her gaze softened further. "After a while, I will tell you everything."
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Ling nodded, "Okay."
The sincere reply, and the emotions revealed behind this trust, instantly lifted the spirits of the love-starved little angel.
The two acted like siblings, and led by Qian Renxue, they left the alleyway where the mansion was located and came to the main street of Tiandou City, leisurely strolling along the bustling street...
As expected of the capital of the Heavenly Dou Empire, Heavenly Dou City boasts wide, clean streets lined with shops. Even in the height of summer, the streets are bustling with a constant stream of people.
The moment Ouyang Ling stepped inside, he inevitably froze in place. The bustling scene before him was something he hadn't experienced in a long time.
Before he could even stand there in a daze for long, the force from his hand pulled him into the relaxed and lively atmosphere.
Perhaps it was because from childhood, he was either confined to the Spirit Hall and unable to go out, or he had to carry out undercover plans and walk on thin ice.
Having never before relaxed and enjoyed such a lively atmosphere in her life, Qian Renxue became much more cheerful at this moment, giving people the kind of joy that should be present at her age.
Ouyang Ling paid attention, cooperated, and experienced...
In the end, the older sister pulled her younger brother along, constantly darting between various vendors. Although the girl's light and charming laughter was not particularly prominent, it brought a refreshing coolness to people's hearts with its ease and comfort.
Before they knew it, they had reached the city center.
Suddenly, Qian Renxue stopped in her tracks and stood still.
Feeling puzzled, Ouyang Ling followed her gaze and saw a group of children gathered around an old man's stall, scooping up maltose with nimble fingers and creating artistic sugar paintings amidst exclamations of amazement.
Sensing Qian Renxue's thoughts, he said, "Sister, let's go take a look. I want a sugar painting too." With an attitude that left no room for refusal, he pulled her along and "forced" her to walk towards the stall.
"Hey—, Zero, slow down..."
They lined up, and when it was their turn...
Ouyang Ling, holding Qian Renxue's hand, scanned the existing sugar painting patterns. "Grandpa, can you draw anything?"
The old man smiled broadly when he saw that they were a brother and sister.
"I'll draw it for you as long as you can describe it."
"Then I want two angels."
Ouyang Ling quickly pulled out two copper soul coins from his pocket and handed them over. "Once the candy painting is finished, one for my sister and one for me."
"Why choose an angel?"
Qian Renxue was puzzled, and even wondered if her little brother had figured something out.
Ouyang Ling looked up and met her gaze, which was filled with confusion. Suddenly, she smiled and said, "Because in my eyes, my sister is my angel."
