Hu Liena could not believe what she was seeing in the group chat. She stared at her screen and shouted, "Liu Erlong, have you gone mad, you little bastard?" It seemed like everyone was losing their minds over the same person.
The Nine Treasures Little Princess, also known as Ning Rongrong, was just as shocked. She sighed and said, "I am really impressed. Aunt Erlong, isn't this a bit too much? You are usually so proud."
Group Member Number Nine quickly agreed with her. "So it is! It seems like everyone is showing their true colors today."
Ma Xiaotao, who was watching from another time and place, felt overwhelmed. "Everyone, wait a moment. I need to go back and read the chat history again. I think I missed something important."
In the world of Douluo 2, inside the famous Shrek Academy, Ma Xiaotao scrolled through the long chat history. The more she read, the happier she became. Her eyes sparkled with excitement as she realized how much drama was happening. "This is so much fun," she whispered to herself.
When she first read the messages yesterday, she was only shocked by the legendary identities of the people in the chat. She had completely overlooked the complicated relationships between the group members. Now, everything was becoming clear.
She looked at the messages from the one called Kitty. "This Kitty seems to be our old ancestor, Zhu Zhuqing," Ma Xiaotao realized. "Old Ancestor Zhu Zhuqing is truly powerful! She managed to win Su Yan over so quickly. She didn't waste any time at all."
Then she saw the messages from Ning Rongrong. "Old Ancestor Ning Rongrong is too funny," Ma Xiaotao laughed. "She acts just like an incompetent wife who can't keep her husband in line."
She continued reading and noticed the interactions with Xiao Wu. "Old Ancestor Xiao Wu also seems to have fallen for Su Yan. For her sake, Su Yan even wants to give Bibi Dong a special System spirit ring as compensation. Xiao Wu must have been moved enough to offer herself to him."
It wasn't just them, though. "This Little Wild Goose and Number Nine are also trying to squeeze into Su Yan's arms, one on each side," Ma Xiaotao noted. "And Orphan seems very out of place in all this romance. Hu Liena is also trying to snatch Su Yan from a distance. Now even Old Ancestor Liu Erlong is tempted? Oh my goodness! This group chat is really too much fun."
Ma Xiaotao then decided to look at the photos and videos that had been shared in the group chat. She looked at them one by one, studying every detail. Finally, she couldn't help but exclaim out loud, "Su Yan, that little bastard, is really handsome! No wonder they are all fighting."
She felt a bit jealous as she leaned back in her chair. "It is such a pity. Why isn't he in my world? If he were in my world, he would be handsome, strong, and could even help me resolve my evil fire. He would be the most ideal and perfect boyfriend I could ever ask for."
She decided to join the conversation again. Ma Xiaotao typed, "Bibi Dong, are you still exchanging that teleportation reward?"
Bibi Dong replied with three question marks, clearly confused by the sudden request.
Hu Liena immediately got defensive. "Teacher, I suspect this Ma Xiaotao might also have ideas about Su Yan. The reward shouldn't be given to her. We have enough competition already."
Xiao Wu, using the name Loves Eating Carrots, joined in. "It is one thing for Liu Erlong to be shameless, but Ma Xiaotao, you are not even from the same world as us. Are you actually thinking of an inter-world romance? That is a bit much, don't you think?"
I Am a Little Bird, who was actually Ling Yuan, added her thoughts. "I am thinking about something else. Ma Xiaotao's temper is so fiery. Little brother Su Yan, can you handle a girl like that?"
Su Yan could only respond with question marks. He was surprised by how quickly the conversation had turned toward him again.
Liu Erlong was annoyed by Ling Yuan's comment. "Bibi Dong, which general of your Spirit Hall is this? Why is she speaking so boldly about Su Yan?"
Inside the grand Supreme Pontiff Palace, Bibi Dong was also speechless. She looked at Ling Yuan and thought, "Ling Yuan, oh Ling Yuan. What do you mean by 'can you handle it'? Do you even know what you are saying in front of everyone?"
Hu Liena muttered from the side, "Teacher, I suddenly remembered something. If this Little Bird is Aunt Ling Yuan, then she is definitely a formidable opponent. Aunt Ling Yuan has been single for so many years, just like all of you, because there were no men who caught her eye. Su Yan is so outstanding that she will definitely be tempted to join the race."
Bibi Dong frowned. She felt a bit strange about the whole situation. "Are they really fighting so fiercely over him?"
In the Crown Prince's Mansion, Qian Renxue was utterly speechless. She was pretending to be Xue Qinghe, but her mind was entirely on the chat. "Seriously? Every single day it is the same thing! This little bastard Liu Erlong isn't planning to fall in love with me anymore; she is actually planning to snatch my man? And this Little Bird, and Ma Xiaotao... won't all these people fall for that scumbag?"
Qian Renxue felt extremely depressed. She bit her lip in frustration. "Damn it! I even wish Su Yan could be a little uglier. Su Yan is so handsome, a transmigrator, and so powerful. I really don't know which woman can resist his charm once they see him."
She tried to bring some order to the chat. I Am an Orphan typed, "That is enough, you all. Kitty is still watching in the group. It is too impolite to openly scheme for someone else's man right in front of her."
Zhu Zhuqing, using the name Cat in the Shadows, surprised everyone with her reply. "It is fine. As long as Su Yan likes it, we can all be sisters."
Qian Renxue was shocked. "Seriously? I was going to use you to block them, I didn't ask you to come out and welcome guests! This is not what I planned at all."
Qian Renxue sighed deeply. She finally understood why Su Yan liked Zhu Zhuqing so much. It wasn't just because she had a good figure. It was because she was too considerate and didn't act jealous like the others. "You should just think these things to yourself," Qian Renxue thought. "If you post them in the group chat, aren't you directly inviting everyone to snatch your man? Do you really have no selfish motives at all?"
The other girls quickly took advantage of the situation. Dugu Yan, using the name Yanzi is not a Swallow, said, "I have one sentence to say: I have no objection to Zhuqing being the boss of the group."
Group Member Number Nine added, "No objection from me either."
Ning Rongrong chimed in, "No objection. If Zhuqing is okay with it, then I am too."
Xiao Wu said, "No objection here."
Hu Liena felt a bit left out. "I... I want to compete for a spot too."
Liu Erlong laughed at her. "Hu Liena, your scope is too small. What power do you have to compete with Kitty for the boss position? You are just a little girl compared to her."
Ling Yuan added, "Nana, Kitty only needs to say one sentence, and how many sisters do you think will pledge their lives to her? She has already won."
Ma Xiaotao laughed loudly in the chat. "Hahaha! This group chat is too much fun. Snatching a man is fun. I want to play too. I want to join the competition and see what happens."
Bai Chenxiang, who had been quiet, asked a question. "I just have a question now. Of course, it is not that I want to find Su Yan for myself. I just want to ask, Su Yan, can our Speed Clan directly pledge allegiance to you? We need a strong leader."
Tang Yuehua, the elegant lady from Heaven Echo Pavilion, finally spoke up. "I have to admit, Su Yan is too perfect. His strength, appearance, and talent are all amazing. Any one of these things would make a man top-notch, yet he is excellent in all of them. As a woman, I deeply understand why you all feel this way."
Bo Saixi, the high priestess, agreed. "Indeed. If it were someone else, and they were fighting over him like this, I would think they were a Blind Douluo. But the person they are fighting over is Su Yan, so I just think they are daring and determined to get what they want."
Ah Yin, who was still learning about the modern world, said softly, "I don't quite understand everything, but Su Yan does seem like a very good person."
Bibi Dong summarized the situation perfectly. "I think I understand now. Not long after joining this group chat, Su Yan has already captivated the souls of half of you. He is quite dangerous."
Qian Renxue typed, "That jade mirror is actually an evil spirit tool! It has bewitched everyone."
At this moment, Su Yan was a little dumbfounded. He sat in his room, looking at the screen. "Seriously? I thought I hadn't even made a move yet. They are doing all the work for me."
Group Member Number Nine teased Ning Rongrong. "Little Princess, oh Little Princess, do you know you have violated heavenly laws? Your sin is simply too great for this world."
Dugu Yan agreed, "Yes, she really did it!"
Qian Renxue added, "Indeed. She started all of this."
Liu Erlong said, "I agree. It is all her fault."
Ning Rongrong was confused. "??? What did I do?"
She was walking with her friends and turned to look at Ye Lingling. She had a puzzled expression on her face. "What heavenly law did I violate? Why is everyone blaming me?"
Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but laugh. She knew exactly what they meant. If nothing unexpected happened, Dugu Yan, Qian Renxue, and Liu Erlong had probably already worn out Su Yan's photos and videos. They must have been looking at them over and over again until they fell in love with his face.
Ma Xiaotao asked, "Number Nine, I don't understand what you mean. What did Old Ancestor Rongrong do that was so bad?"
Tang Yuehua explained, "She exposed Su Yan. She showed everyone how he looks."
Bibi Dong nodded to herself. "Now that you mention it, I think I understand. Normally, although that little bastard Su Yan is excellent, no one had seen what he looked like. It would be impossible for them to be attracted to him so quickly without seeing his face."
Bo Saixi added, "I understand too. From this situation, it seems that people like Hu Liena and Liu Erlong wouldn't know what Su Yan looked like without the Little Princess sharing those photos and videos. How could they possibly fall for Su Yan so hard without that?"
Ling Yuan pointed out, "That includes Ma Xiaotao too. She only got interested after seeing him."
Zhu Zhuqing shared a piece of wisdom. "This reminds me of what Su Yan once told me: there is no such thing as love at first sight, only lust at first sight. What is loved is not the emotion, but the face of the person."
Suddenly, several messages disappeared. Ning Rongrong quickly retracted her messages. Dugu Yan also retracted hers.
Everyone in the chat started laughing. "Hahaha! You are too late! We already saw them!"
As the administrator, Zhu Zhuqing used her powers. She restored the messages that the group members had tried to hide.
