Douluo Starting with the Chaos Divine Examination

The outer court of Jia Nan Academy didn't have the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower, and many were unaware that the inner court possessed a Strange Fire. Ever since a towering flame erupted from the direction of the inner court a month ago, no specific information about the incident had been disclosed. The inner court had sealed off all details of the event. For the students of the outer court, curiosity about the incident initially arose, but after a month, no one paid attention to what had happened.

However, not everyone in the outer court had forgotten about the incident. Four individuals still remembered what had occurred, even after more than a month.

On a towering peak near the outer court, a woman dressed in red gazed at the three women by the cliff and pouted, "Hmph, you dared to compete with me for Ruo Lin and show off. You have no idea how to cherish beauty, and now your three beauties are suffering."

As the granddaughter of Hu Qian, Hu Jia had managed to uncover the entire story through her persistent inquiries. She had learned that Mu Chen had perished in the underground magma.

"But why does my heart ache so much?"

Hu Jia pressed her hand against her chest, her delicate brows furrowed. Whenever she thought of Mu Chen's demise in the magma, her heart couldn't help but ache.

"This doesn't make sense. He competed with me for women, stole my Ruo Lin, and even… even spanked me, taking advantage of me countless times. Why would I feel sad for him?"

Hu Jia's brows deepened in confusion, unable to understand this inexplicable emotion. She only liked women and had no interest in men. Could it be that, during her time with Mu Chen, she had also fallen for that gray-haired, gray-eyed man, just like the three women by the cliff?

"What a scoundrel!"

Hu Jia clenched her fist and angrily punched her thigh. She wasn't sure whether she was angry because Mu Chen had taken advantage of her, or because he had recklessly plunged into the underground magma without considering others' feelings, or perhaps because he had quietly entered her heart, making her develop an interest in men!

On the cliff, Ruo Lin and Xue Ni sat beside Xiao Yu, constantly comforting her. Especially Ruo Lin, compared to Xiao Yu, who could openly express her grief, she could only mourn in solitude during the quiet nights.

Buzz.

Suddenly, a ripple appeared in the space behind them. A familiar aura emanated from the void.

"This… this aura is…"

From afar, Hu Jia, sitting on a tree trunk, looked on with anticipation as a gray-haired, gray-eyed figure slowly emerged from the void. She exclaimed joyfully, "You scoundrel, I knew you wouldn't die so easily."

"Husband!"

Xiao Yu's face lit up with joy, tears turning into laughter as she ran into Mu Chen's arms, her emotions out of control.

Mu Chen patted Xiao Yu's back and looked at Xue Ni, who had taken five steps toward him, and Ruo Lin, who had shifted her feet. He pondered deeply. In their eyes, he caught a glimpse of the affection that women have for men.

Am I really this charming?

Mu Chen couldn't help but feel smug. Not only had Xue Ni, Xiao Yu's close friend, fallen for him, but even Xiao Yu's mentor, Ruo Lin, had developed feelings for him. However, both Xue Ni and Ruo Lin had been hiding their admiration for Mu Chen due to their relationships with Xiao Yu.

Such beautiful women, it would be a shame to let them go. Should I make them my lovers?

While comforting Xiao Yu, a mischievous thought crept into Mu Chen's mind. The idea of having a secret affair with Xiao Yu's best friend and her mentor was undeniably thrilling.

At the same time, Mu Chen didn't forget that his system had the ability to harvest emotions, converting others' feelings toward him into the energy he needed to level up.

After hugging Mu Chen for a while, Xiao Yu pounded his chest and scolded him affectionately, "Where have you been all this time?"

"I'm back now, aren't I?" Mu Chen smiled and pointed at Zi Yan. "Let me introduce you to your new sister, Zi Yan. She's the adopted daughter of Su Qian, the Grand Elder of the inner court, and the top-ranked student in the inner court."

"Zi Yan?"

Xiao Yu murmured the name, sizing up Zi Yan, and only then did she notice the otherworldly beauty of the girl. In terms of appearance, Zi Yan far surpassed Xiao Yu, making her feel a pang of inferiority. However, when Xiao Yu's gaze shifted downward to Zi Yan's decently long legs, her confidence was restored.

Xiao Yu asked herself inwardly. Compared to Mu Chen's new love interest, she might be inferior in looks, but when it came to long legs, she was definitely not inferior to Zi Yan. Her round and slender legs were her pride.

"Yes."

Mu Chen nodded and then introduced Zi Yan. "Zi Yan, this is your sister, Xiao Yu. She's a descendant of the Xiao Clan, one of the eight ancient clans."

"The Xiao Clan?" Zi Yan frowned slightly, her eyes filled with confusion.

Zi Yan hadn't yet entered the Central Plains or returned to the Void Ancient Dragon Clan, so she had never heard of the eight ancient clans Mu Chen mentioned. However, she understood Mu Chen's words. This tall girl, though ordinary in appearance, had a pair of long, round legs that were truly remarkable. She was her husband Mu Chen's love interest.

"Hello, Xiao Yu." Zi Yan greeted Xiao Yu politely, out of respect for Mu Chen.

"Hello, Sister Zi Yan." Xiao Yu, being clever, willingly took the subordinate role. As her hand left Mu Chen's waist, she pinched him hard as a punishment for his flirtatious behavior.

Then, Xiao Yu affectionately linked arms with Zi Yan, actively getting closer to her and engaging in small talk to deepen their sisterly bond.

"Are these two also your love interests?" Zi Yan's gaze swept over Xue Ni and Ruo Lin.

Xue Ni and Ruo Lin's hearts raced, their cheeks flushing as they looked at Mu Chen.

"No." Mu Chen smiled slightly. Since he intended to develop Xue Ni and Ruo Lin into lovers, he couldn't admit it now. He looked at Xue Ni and Ruo Lin in turn and continued, "This graceful and elegant teacher is Ruo Lin. She's a teacher in the outer court and Xiao Yu's mentor. As for her, she's Xue Ni, Xiao Yu's best friend."

"What about the other one?" Zi Yan asked.

"Which one?" Mu Chen asked.

"That one!" Zi Yan tilted her head, glancing at Hu Jia on the distant tree trunk.

"Oh, her? She's a lesbian. She misunderstood that I stole Ruo Lin and always wants to fight me!" Mu Chen replied.

Misunderstood that I stole Ruo Lin?

The speaker had no intention, but the listener took it to heart.

Ruo Lin had a secret crush on Mu Chen, but because of her student Xiao Yu, she had never revealed her feelings. Hearing Mu Chen's words now, her heart ached.

Ruo Lin forced a smile and said, "Mu Chen, I'm glad to see you've returned safely. It's getting late, so you and Xiao Yu catch up. I'll take my leave now."

Seeing Ruo Lin about to leave, Mu Chen quickly said, "Don't rush, Ruo Lin, let me go fishing!
