Douluo Continent: The Martial Soul Master Ball, Beauty, Please Stay!

Chapter 20 Xu 3 Shi: Bei Bei, you green-haired turtle!!!

Shrek City, on the rooftop of an attic.

Two figures sat side by side on the roof, looking down at the bustling street below, without saying a word.

A gentle breeze rustled the hems of their clothes.

"Why--"

Beibei leaned against a curved eave, holding a flask of wine in her hand, and sighed deeply.

He tilted his head back and gulped down the liquor, which dripped down his chin and soaked his clothes.

"Sanshi... why do you think that is? Why is Xiaoya like this?"

"Haven't I been good enough to her? Yes, I'm a good person... but I want to be her lover even more!"

Beibei took another swig, her voice hoarse as she growled.

Just now, he used up all the courage he had in his life to confess his feelings to Tang Ya, only to receive the words, "You are a good person," in return.

How could he accept this?

Although the ancestor hinted at it, my joining the Tang Clan was also due to my feelings for Xiaoya!

It's been three years!

When Xiaoya was thirsty, he brought her water; when Xiaoya was tired, he carried her on his back... It can be said that he did everything he could.

Why did Xiaoya reject him?

"I do not understand--"

Beibei suddenly stood up, agitated, and staggered as she pointed towards the Shrek City area, which was just beginning to light up.

"Three years ago, Xiaoya and I met in Shrek City. Wherever we went, we were met with blessings and envy... We were truly blessed with perfect timing!"

"That vibrant, flourishing scene is still vivid in my mind! How could it have become the site of my defeat in just three short years?"

"No matter how you look at it... the advantage is in my hands! The advantage is in my hands!"

He roared to the sky, his voice echoing across the empty rooftop.

Then, his knees buckled, and he knelt on the roof tiles, his hands supporting him on the ground, trembling slightly, as if questioning the injustice of heaven.

(Snowflakes are falling~ The north wind is howling~)

"Sigh—Beibei, if you refuse, you refuse."

Xu Sanshi patted him on the shoulder and sighed helplessly.

He's been rejected countless times, but I've never seen him act like this. Men shouldn't be love-struck.

No! You don't understand!

Beibei abruptly pushed Xu Sanshi's hand away, raised her head, and even a hint of tears glistened in her eyes.

"We're different! Jiang Nannan completely ignores you... but I can sense that Xiaoya liked me before, at least a tiny bit..."

"But ever since he came, Xiaoya has changed... she's become cold and selfish."

Xu Sanshi: ...

He felt like he'd been hit with a thousand points of damage, but he endured it for the sake of his good friend's heartbreak.

However, looking at the distraught Beibei, he was also somewhat curious about who had managed to steal Tang Ya away.

To be fair, based on his previous observations, although Tang Ya was of average talent and quite cunning, she did have some feelings for Bei Bei.

In this situation, he naturally knew better than to press the matter further. If he were to upset Beibei, Old Master Mu would surely hang him from the golden tree and whip him mercilessly.

"Beibei, didn't you always tell me, 'There are plenty of fish in the sea, why be hung up on just one?'"

Xu Sanshi stepped forward, stood next to Bei Bei, and put his arm around his shoulder.

"I'm not saying this to be mean, but Tang Ya really didn't deserve you! It's good that she left! There are some pretty good new female students this year..."

"For example, that Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School—uh, let's forget about that one, they're here to snag a rich husband."

He counted on his fingers, introducing each of the famous beauties from the outer courtyard as if they were his own treasures.

But Beibei remained silent, only calling out Xiaoya's name repeatedly. Her infatuated appearance was both heartbreaking and a little painful to watch.

"I'm truly impressed!"

Xu Sanshi was speechless. He punched Bei Bei hard in the chest and cursed her with disappointment.

"It's just a woman, why are you so desperate to kill her... huh?"

The words came to an abrupt halt.

Xu Sanshi's gaze was suddenly fixed on the street ahead, as if he had been frozen in place.

It was as if some magical power there had drawn his very soul in.

"What's wrong, Sanshi?"

Beibei snapped out of her grief and noticed Xu Sanshi's unusual behavior.

Xu Sanshi was like a petrified ancient tortoise, frozen in place, staring blankly at the street in front of him.

He didn't answer when Beibei asked him a question, but his body quickly turned red, spreading from his neck to his ears, and his whole body was trembling slightly.

Beibei followed his gaze—

Then he was stunned.

In the distance, on a bustling street, a young couple strolled hand in hand in the sunlight.

The two chatted and laughed, their posture intimate.

One of them is none other than Jiang Nannan, whom Xu Sanshi has been pursuing for three years. Coincidentally, the boy beside her is Jiang Yi.

"It's him again..."

Beibei took a deep breath, feeling as if something was blocking her chest.

He would never forget what that guy looked like, not even until he died.

"Do you know him?"

Xu Sanshi suppressed the surging anger in his heart, looked at Bei Bei, and spoke in a low voice as if squeezed out from between his teeth.

Which little punk is this now? Trying to poach Xu Sanshi's employees?

This is absolutely outrageous.

"..."

Bei Bei remained silent, but seeing his expression, Xu Sanshi instantly understood everything.

"Damn it! He's two-timing! I'll kill him!"

Xu Sanshi exploded instantly, rolled up his sleeves, and wanted to rush over.

This scoundrel not only stole his brother's girlfriend, but he also stole his own, and even got fired from both jobs... The goddess he had been pursuing so hard was kicked over by someone else?

Look at Nan Nan's smiling face... I've been licking her boots for three years and haven't seen many like her!

I can tolerate shit, but I can't tolerate rats!

Damn it, let's do it!

"Wait! San Shi!"

Beibei's expression changed drastically, and she quickly rushed over to grab Xu Sanshi.

"Let me go! Beibei! I'm going to kill that brat!"

Xu Sanshi's face turned bright red, like an enraged wild bull charging forward desperately.

"In the entire Shrek Academy, who doesn't know that Nan Nan is mine?"

"Besides—I'm just helping you get revenge, aren't I? Why are you stopping me?"

"No, if we hurt him, Xiaoya will be angry..."

Beibei clung tightly to Xu Sanshi, her mind still filled with thoughts of Tang Ya; she couldn't afford to upset Xiaoya any further.

Otherwise, we won't even be able to be friends.

Xu Sanshi: "???"

His chest heaved violently with anger, and his finger trembled as he pointed at Beibei.

"Fuck your mother—Beibei! You green-haired turtle! Let me go!!!"

……

While the two turtles were fighting, Jiang Yi rubbed his hands together and looked at Jiang Nannan in front of him with a smirk.

"Actually, Sister Nan, I wanted to tell you, but I was in a bit of a hurry and didn't have time to leave a message for Aunt."

At that moment, he suddenly had a brilliant idea and decided to go to Xingluo City to wait for Huo Yutong, so he didn't go back to the town.

Jiang Nannan's home is also in Zhenxin Town.

According to seniority, going back more than ten generations, she might even be Jiang Yi's distant great-aunt.

Of course, this relationship was already beyond the fifth degree of mourning (legal and reasonable), and he hadn't starved to death before thanks to Jiang's mother's help.

The area around Zhenxin Town is all Xuanming Sect territory, except for Zhenxin Town itself, which is an enclave of the Body Sect.

It was precisely because of the Body Sect's wide-ranging approach that commoner children like Jiang Nannan had the opportunity to awaken their martial souls for free.
