Chapter 39: You Just Don't Know Your Place
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Hell King Zhang's college entrance exam questions had left countless people with profound psychological shadows. The difficulty of those questions was truly indescribable in words.
For ordinary people, it was extremely difficult to pass the exam.
Even for geniuses and prodigies, they didn't have the confidence to guarantee their success; they urgently hoped for powerful assistance.
Now…
Tang Rou's eyes were as clear as autumn water as she looked at Ye Xuan with expectant eyes. She wanted to team up with Ye Xuan and was willing to support him with the resources of the Tang family.
Ye Xuan originally planned to go solo.
However, after giving it some thought, he said, "It's not a problem, but having a priest would be even better! However, if you team up with me, you must follow my orders and not act recklessly."
Regarding the resources, wealth, and connections of the Tang family, he had no interest in them and didn't want to use them.
Taking things from others would mean owing them favors. It would be quite troublesome to repay them in the future.
But when it came to teaming up, it was a different story!
With Tang Rou, a genius priest, supporting him, he might be able to fight more steadily and have a higher chance of achieving better results.
He needed assistance, and Tang Rou also needed a powerful main DPS!
Although a priest could also take the exam independently, it went without saying how challenging the process would be.
Therefore, he proposed teaming up, which wasn't a matter of who helped whom but rather mutual cooperation.
Only Ye Xuan could say such things!
If it were Zhang Tianming, Wang Yifan, Zhao Wushuang, and others, they would probably come and beat up Ye Xuan upon hearing such words.
A beautiful goddess voluntarily offering help, it was an opportunity that couldn't be begged for. Yet, you dared to say such things to the goddess?
Dare to make demands of the goddess?
You just don't know your place!
But Tang Rou smiled very happily. "Alright, I'll team up with you. Rest assured, I won't hold you back. Whatever you ask me to do, I'll do it. Besides, I'm strong too, I can protect you!"
She said it very earnestly.
Because she knew that Ye Xuan was undoubtedly a more reliable teammate than anyone else.It was definitely a right choice to team up with him.
"Okay! After we return, do you have a plan for dealing with the Wang family?" After finalizing the college entrance exam matter, Ye Xuan asked again.
"Don't worry! I know what to do. We haven't encountered them at all! Even if they come asking, I don't know anything." Tang Rou said with a smile.
"Alright! Let's go home now!"
When Ye Xuan returned home, he realized that what was originally planned as a 10-day adventure had unknowingly taken him an entire month.
The two of them returned to the hall of the Adventure Guild, stunning everyone.
In particular, some experienced Awakeneds had long noticed the Tiger Brothers. None of them expected that they could return safely after being followed by the Tiger Brothers.
Therefore, many people felt surprised!
Even the receptionist couldn't help but ask, "Miss Tang, where are the Tiger Brothers? Those three guys…"
She didn't finish her sentence and just stared at Tang Rou eagerly.
"What Tiger Brothers?" Tang Rou asked in confusion.
If it were before, as an inexperienced person, she might have answered that those three people were already dead.
But now, after this training, she had become much smarter.
Now her attitude was that she had never seen the Tiger Brothers and didn't know them.
"Uh…"
The receptionist looked outside in confusion. It shouldn't be like this. Everyone here knew how bad the Tiger Brothers were.
It was just that no one dared to provoke those three guys.
But this time, the three brothers suddenly had a change of heart?
No one could understand!
Ye Xuan didn't stay with Tang Rou.
The reason was simple. In the main city, Tang Rou was the center of attention, and being by her side would only unnecessarily draw much attention.
After completing the quest, he went straight to the subway station, planning to return to the orphanage.
However, he encountered some trouble during this process.
Because the security check detected a creature with a unique aura in Ye Xuan's arms.
The security personnel didn't think much of it and simply asked Ye Xuan to take out the creature for inspection.
After all, in this world, which was a combination of a game world and a real world, it was normal for people to keep demonic beasts as pets.
"Woohoo!"
The little cutie Tongtong understood what the security officer said and immediately wriggled out of Ye Xuan's collar, looking cute.
"It turns out to be a little lizard!"
"So cute! It looks like a little dragon!"
The security officer immediately felt a burst of girlish excitement.
No surprises there.
This security officer didn't associate Tongtong with the dragon race at all.
Dragons were mysterious, powerful, and noble, especially the Flaming Holy Dragon, who was the most eye-catching dragon, and the legendary giant dragon, which was the most powerful and mysterious existence among dragons.
Most people wouldn't even see them in their lifetime!
Besides, dragons were noble, powerful, and tough. Who would treat them as pets?
The little creature in front of their eyes was so cute that it was hard to imagine it as a dragon.
"Growl~"
Tongtong, hearing the security officer's words, immediately became angry.
It was being mistaken for a lizard, which was unforgivable.
Ye Xuan felt her anger and immediately realized the danger. Fortunately, his reaction speed was extremely fast, and he quickly covered her mouth.
Otherwise…
If this little dragon spewed out fire, there would be chaos in the place.
Due to its quick reaction speed, the whole process went smoothly without any accidents, and they boarded the subway.
However, once they got on the subway, more trouble arose.
Tongtong was feeling a bit stuffy and, after Ye Xuan released her head, it naturally popped out again.
Her golden pupils kept turning as she looked at the human world like a curious baby.
Immediately, the subway became lively.
"Wow… I found a little cutie…"
"Sisters! Come and see, this little one is incredibly adorable. In this world, there's actually such a cute creature?"
"Help! This little creature's cute appearance is too much for me!"
"I really want to hug this little cutie!"
…
Inside the subway, many girls saw this adorable little creature and felt their hearts melt.
One after another, they couldn't help but want to reach out and touch Tongtong's head.
"Growl!"
Tongtong became unhappy.
She was very angry now. If her master hadn't warned her not to misbehave, the subway would have been on fire now.
