LRAB Chapter 12 The God King's Troubles
Chapter 12 The God King's Troubles
The day finally arrived for the first year of Shrek Academy's outer school to begin.
Mu Chen and Bei Bei were assigned to the same class and the same double room.
Furthermore, all the facilities in the dormitory are brand new.
As a member of the Shrek Academy's Celestial Dragons, Mu Chen did not see anything wrong with this small privilege.
With one day left before the start of the semester, the two had already moved into the dormitory.
"Brother, I've packed my things, I'm going out for a stroll now!" After packing her things, Beibei couldn't wait to run out.
In the past, Beibei would definitely have waited for Mu Chen to come together.
Not right.
Something is very wrong.
Mu Chen suddenly remembered a character from the original work.
Tang Ya, the current sect leader of the Tang Clan and the only survivor.
Beibei's unusual behavior today suggests she's about to run into Tang Ya.
Mu Chen looked up at the sky outside the window, as if looking at another world through the clouds.
"You little punk, you think you can treat my brother like a dog? No way!"
The realm of gods at this time.
Inside the Temple of the Sea God.
"Brother, I told you you had a cold. You've been sneezing a lot these past few days. Wear more clothes."
Xiao Wu picked up a light blue cloak and draped it over Tang San's shoulders.
This time, Tang San didn't refute Xiao Wu, because he was also confused.
Why do I keep sneezing even though I don't have a cold?
But he had already explored the Douluo Continent countless times with his divine sense, yet he could not find anything unusual about it.
One day in the realm of gods is equivalent to one year on earth.
Mu Chen would curse Tang San every few days, so Tang San would sneeze every day.
Stopping thinking about Beibei, Mu Chen started packing his things.
"Knock knock knock"
A knock sounded at the door, and Mu Chen went over and opened it. A familiar figure appeared in the doorway: Zhang Lexuan.
"Sister Lexuan, what brings you here?"
Since school hadn't started yet, Zhang Lexuan could freely enter and exit the boys' dormitory, which made it easy for her to reach Mu Chen's dormitory.
Six years have passed, and Zhang Lexuan, now in her early twenties, has blossomed into a woman with an irresistible charm.
Mu Chen is also developing very quickly. At only twelve years old, he has already caught up with Zhang Lexuan in height. Of course, this is because he recently absorbed a ten-thousand-year soul ring and soul bone.
Faced with Mu Chen's question, Zhang Lexuan smiled and pinched Mu Chen's cheek: "I just thought that since you grew up in the inner courtyard, I would take you to the outer courtyard and Shrek City to get familiar with the environment."
Zhang Lexuan's approach brought a soft, warm fragrance, which made Mu Chen momentarily dazed.
"Alright, let's go, Sister Lexuan."
Mu Chen quickly came to his senses, put his things away, closed the dormitory door, and left the dormitory building with Zhang Lexuan.
"Where's Beibei? I heard you two aren't in the same dorm?"
Faced with Zhang Lexuan's question, Mu Chen replied without hesitation, "He went out to find senior girls or girls his age, what else could he be doing?"
"You think everyone's like you?"
"Sister Lexuan, you've misunderstood me. I would never stray. You're all I need."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Lexuan blushed for a moment, then pinched Mu Chen's arm hard, causing him to wince in pain.
"You're such a smooth talker!"
While the two were playfully bickering, they explored the entire outer courtyard.
Zhang Lexuan is beautiful, and Mu Chen is equally handsome.
The two of them walking together attracted a lot of attention.
Especially Mu Chen.
Her short, light blonde hair shone like real gold in the sunlight, elevating her overall aura.
Many female students, even those in the higher grades, felt a flutter of attraction upon seeing Mu Chen.
However, Mu Chen ignored all the admiring glances, after all, they were no match for Zhang Lexuan.
Evening arrived quickly.
"Let's go, Mu Chen, I'll take you to the most famous snack street in Shrek City."
Mu Chen followed Zhang Lexuan to the east of Shrek City.
On the way, Mu Chen quietly placed his hand on Zhang Lexuan's hand.
Zhang Lexuan trembled slightly, but ultimately did not resist.
So, Mu Chen simply and beautifully took Zhang Lexuan's hand.
That warm, jade-like feel is incredibly stylish.
Soon, the two arrived at the snack street in the east of Shrek City.
Just like in the original story, a significant portion of the vendors here are Shrek Academy students.
The remaining students who are not students are also highly likely to have graduated from Shrek Academy's external affairs department.
"Sister Lexuan, what do you want to eat? It's on me!" Mu Chen patted his chest and said confidently.
Zhang Lexuan chuckled: "You? Where did you get the money?"
When it comes to making money, Mu Chen has a lot of ways.
After all, he has a sheep that's there specifically to fleece him.
Mu Chen took out a cloth bag from his storage soul tool, which was filled with glittering gold soul coins.
"Old Man Xuan is rich. I usually go to him when I'm broke."
Every time Mu Chen cooked for Xuan Zi, he would charge him a sum of money, either several hundred or several thousand gold soul coins.
It's euphemistically called a food processing fee.
That's right, Xuanzi provided the ingredients herself, and Mu Chen was only responsible for processing them.
I remember one time, Xuanzi really ran out of cash, so he just shook Yan Shaozhe over on the spot and gave Mu Chen a gold soul card worth 10,000.
Mu Chen still remembers the pained expression on Yan Shaozhe's face.
"You know, I bet all of Master Xuan's spare change is with you, isn't it?" Zhang Lexuan said, somewhat amused and exasperated.
When you reach the level of Xuanzi, money is just a string of numbers, and you only need to carry some spare change with you.
The two arrived at a dessert stall run by two girls who appeared to be students from Shrek Academy's outer courtyard.
"What would you two like to order?"
The two had a clear division of labor: one greeted the customers, and the other packed the food.
"You're so pretty, senior! You'd be perfect for our strawberry cake!"
One of the girls started promoting the strawberry cakes on her stall.
"Clatter"
The sound of gold soul coins landing on the table rang out.
"Since you said my sister Lexuan is beautiful, what else can I say? I'll take over both of your stalls!"
Mu Chen stretched out his slender fingers and counted the number of gold soul coins on the table. There were exactly twenty, more than enough to buy all the cakes. After all, in the original story, Huo Yuhao only sold a grilled fish for five copper soul coins.
"This, this is too much!"
The two female students immediately refused, wanting to return part of the money to Mu Chen.
"No need to return it. You should pack up early and treat yourselves to the money. We're leaving now!"
Mu Chen quickly put the cake into his storage soul tool, then took Zhang Lexuan's hand and continued shopping.
It wasn't until nightfall that Mu Chen pushed open the door and returned to his dormitory.
Beibei was still awake, sitting at the table fiddling with something. Mu Chen could only hear a series of clanging sounds.
Hearing the door open, Beibei put down what she was holding.
"Brother, you're back!"
Mu Chen nodded, but his gaze fell on the pile of things on the table, his tone filled with curiosity.
"What are you doing, buddy?"
