Douluo: Unbeatable from Capturing a Goddess

Luo Yu's mouth twitched as he saw the other person's actions.

With his shrewdness, he instantly understood what the geezer was up to.

What a guy!

He inwardly exclaimed, "What a guy!"

This young man looked refined and handsome, yet he was so sly, and he even seemed to have a bit of a social superiority complex.

But it wasn't a big deal to Luo Yu. To be honest, he wasn't the kind of person overflowing with a sense of justice, so he let it slide, not taking it to heart, too lazy to bother with him.

After some silence,

a sound came from behind. The skinny young man reached out with his delicate finger and gently poked Luo Yu's lower back.

"Bro, why aren't you talking?"

Luo Yu turned around with an expression that screamed speechless.

"You've already achieved your goal, why are you pestering me?"

The skinny young man remained unfazed, he sneakily glanced at the long queue behind him and then leaned in close to Luo Yu, lowering his voice and said,

"What bad intentions could I possibly have? Just came over to chat with an old friend."

God damn old friend!

Luo Yu said with no expression,

"You have some thick skin. Ask yourself, do you believe the words you're saying?"

"Stop bothering me, or I'll kick you out."

The skinny young man pursed his lips, his curiosity piqued, and he asked in a low voice,

"Since you've figured out that I just wanted to jump the queue, why didn't you expose me and kick me out?"

"So you want out, huh? Then I'll just do that."

Luo Yu was about to open his mouth to call out.

"Stop, I was wrong, okay? I admit my mistake, isn't that enough?" the skinny young man hastily begged for mercy.

"I thought you didn't care about face at all. I didn't expect you still had some shame," Luo Yu said with a smile.

The skinny young man nodded.

"Face is necessary, but you don't need too much of it."

"Mainly, it's just that it's been hard to squeeze in, and if I had to go out, I would need to line up again."

Luo Yu ignored him and turned his head back.

To deal with a chatterbox who has a social superiority complex, you have to cut off the topic promptly, or they could climb up the pole and chat with you for three days and nights.

However, it was quite apparent that Luo Yu miscalculated his level of social cunning.

The guy leaned his little head close and said,

"Honestly, little brother, you're really a good person."

Luo Yu's skin crawled, feeling a strong discomfort.

Being called a good person, in addition to "little brother," especially in such a tone and by a man.

Who could stand that?

"If you speak again, I'll kick you out!" Luo Yu, out of patience, turned back and said fiercely.

Just early in the morning, observing all the quirks of human nature, tasting life, and suddenly this nuisance pops up and ruins the mood.

"Why are you being aggressive," the skinny young man said with a pouty lip, making a wronged face, "I just came down from the mountain and wanted to talk a bit more with people, what's wrong with that?"

"..."

This guy's way of speaking was so sissy.

And he also looked rather effeminate; with his slender build, probably one punch could send him tumbling to the ground where he could cry for a long time.

A line of frustration creased Luo Yu's forehead.

Wait a minute!

He caught a key word—just came down from the mountain?

Who lives in the mountains these days?

People live inside base cities, surrounded by walls, with ferocious beasts running rampant outside, making survival difficult.

If the other person wasn't lying, then there was only one possibility.

He was protected by a strong person, powerful enough to allow him to live on a mountain outside in the wilderness, plagued with ferocious beasts.

At the very least, it would require a Third-Rank Expert or higher to have a chance.

Because a Third-Rank Expert has a Domain, which, when deployed, can restrict the actions of ferocious beasts and enhance themselves.

That way, even if they encounter a ferocious beast in the wild, they could quickly set up their Domain and escape with others.

"Just came down from the mountain? Which mountain were you mixed up with?"

Now, Luo Yu was somewhat interested, and for the first time, he began to seriously size up the person in front of him, the more he looked, the more effeminate the other seemed.

Could it be a woman disguised as a man?

Luo Yu immediately focused his attention on the person's Adam's apple, seeing one there.

Then it couldn't be a woman.

Just purely sissy?

Braving the mountain winds, sleeping in the wilderness, and dancing with wolves couldn't turn you into a man, Luo Yu commented silently in his heart.

"My master and I love to travel; we've basically lived in all the famous mountains and big rivers within the Great Xia Realm," the slender youth said candidly, without any attempt to conceal the truth.

Luo Yu's heart stirred slightly.

It seemed her hunch was right; the effeminate behind must be backed by an expert, for a mere Third-Rank Expert would hardly dare to wander the mountains and rivers plagued by ferocious beasts with someone in tow.

Her interest grew even stronger.

A trace of light glistened in the depths of her eyes, which were already concealed, and with sunglasses, even more imperceptible.

The Fiery Eyes Golden Gaze inherited from the Great Sage Equal to Heaven.

Seeing through illusions, piercing through disguises.

And with that look, Luo Yu immediately made a discovery.

Tsk!

It was actually a woman.

And not just any woman, but a rather beautiful one at that.

Luo Yu marveled inwardly.

With the aid of a weakened version of Fiery Eyes Golden Gaze, the slender youth's every disguise was futile.

The Adam's apple was fake, and there was clearly a layer of something very convincing attached to the face, imperceptible to the ordinary eye.

The slender youth's real face was like that of a fairy who had descended to earth, with incredibly delicate features paired with those spirited eyes, giving off a unique charm.

No wonder she concealed her beauty; otherwise, she'd undoubtedly draw the gazes of countless men.

"Hey, what are you looking at?" the slender youth snapped, sensing Luo Yu's observation despite the sunglasses.

"Looking at your powdered and dapper appearance, you're very much to my taste," Luo Yu said, finding it extremely amusing to encounter someone in disguise, and therefore began to tease.

"What do you mean, 'to your taste'?" the slender youth's complexion changed slightly, and she took a half step back.

Luo Yu clapped a hand on the youth's shoulder, a mischievous smile spilling from the corners of his mouth.

"Don't worry, good brother," he said.

Without the smile, the slender youth might have been less afraid, but now, she was even more fearful.

"You...you don't have...that kind of fetish, do you?" she stammered.

Luo Yu thought to himself, I mistook you for a tough cookie, but now you're chickening out just as I'm getting started?

"Good brother, I don't have any strange fetishes; I just find you quite to my liking," Luo Yu assured her.

At those words, the slender youth's eyelids twitched, and she quivered slightly.

As if imagining a certain scenario.

She wriggled free from Luo Yu's hand resting on her shoulder.

"You... you... be mindful, my interests are very normal," she stammered.

Luo Yu's lips curled into a smile:

"My tastes are also very normal."

When you say it like that, I find you even less normal.

The slender youth was now terrified, wondering if this was the retribution for jumping the queue earlier.

Now, she faced the risk of being overtaken herself by someone with peculiar tastes...

Watching the youth looking so timid, like a startled deer, Luo Yu initially found it amusing, but soon felt slightly ashamed to bully a maiden fresh from the mountains.

He then let her be, turned his head away, and saw that his turn was approaching.

The slender youth remained quiet for a long while, not daring to speak, and just like that, her chatterbox habit was cured.

Having registered at the entrance, she followed the contestants' corridor into the stadium and continued to wait in the holding area, as there were three major tests to take before the competition, and only those with points ranking in the top hundred would have a chance to participate in the ring competition.

The ranking of others' test points would determine their final provincial ranking.

After sitting in the waiting area for a while, the slender youth couldn't help herself.

She wanted to poke the person in front, but as her finger nearly made contact, she hesitated and pulled back, the memory of that man's devilish smile still vivid in her mind.

"That..."

"Thanks for earlier, outside," she murmured faintly.

Luo Yu heard her despite the softness of her voice and dismissed the concern with a wave.

"There's nothing to thank me for," said Luo Yu, unfazed.

He wasn't a saint; it wasn't his queue being cut, and frankly, the girl hadn't hurt anyone; with no one stepping forward to stop her, he didn't bother intervening.

After speaking, Luo Yu yawned from exhaustion, having stood for so long. What started as novel was now becoming quite boring.

The slender youth couldn't resist asking:

"Hey, the fist strength test is about to start, and if the results are too poor, there won't even be a chance to compete on the stage, let alone be admitted to Martial University. Aren't you nervous?"

"Nervous?" Luo Yu didn't quite know how to respond to this question.

Should he say that the presidents of various Martial Universities pretty much fell over themselves begging him to attend their schools?

Wouldn't that be bragging a bit too much?

But then, it was the truth, right?
