Chapter 43: Liu Erlong Falls for Xu Yan, Shocking Everyone! [Seeking Favorites, Recommendations, and Reader Engagement]

"Sister Erlong, I have something I'd like to give you," Xu Yan said to Liu Erlong.

A gentle smile hung on Liu Erlong's face, making her look completely unlike her usual fiery-tempered self.

"Oh? What is it?" Liu Erlong asked with great curiosity.

Only then did Xu Yan take out the Bling-Bling Fall-in-Love-with-You Fruit and hand it to Liu Erlong.

Looking at the colorful and very pretty object in Xu Yan's hand, Liu Erlong asked in surprise, "What is this?"

"This is a seven-colored fruit. When I was training in the Star Dou Great Forest, cultivation and life felt so bitter, but whenever I ate this, life suddenly tasted sweet," Xu Yan spouted nonsense smoothly. "Although I know Sister Erlong probably doesn't find life bitter right now, you can still give it a try."

Hearing this and looking at Xu Yan's relaxed expression, Liu Erlong's maternal instincts instantly overflowed. She imagined Xu Yan all alone, helpless and finding life bitter, yet possessing such a sweet way of releasing his negative emotions—what a good child.

At the same time, this also reminded her of certain events from her own youth.

"Alright, thank you, Yuhao." Liu Erlong was very delighted, and then slowly popped the fruit into her mouth.

Xu Yan watched intently as Liu Erlong's rosy lips parted slightly, her tongue extending to give it a lick as she carefully tasted it.

"How is it?" Xu Yan asked with an expectant look.

Liu Erlong savored it carefully and said, "Wait, let me taste it again."

Then, she licked it a few more times and finally tasted the sweetness, nodding to Xu Yan, "It really is quite sweet."

"Do you feel anything else?" Xu Yan asked curiously. Could it be that the Bling-Bling Fall-in-Love-with-You Fruit had no effect on a mature young woman like Liu Erlong?

Liu Erlong looked at Xu Yan and asked, "What else is there to feel?"

Looking at Xu Yan in confusion, she kept the fruit in her mouth.

Xu Yan quickly smiled and said, "Uh, nothing, I was just asking. I couldn't even bear to eat it myself, so I offered it to Sister Erlong, wishing you to stay forever young and beautiful, forever eighteen."

He showered her with endless praise, saying whatever sounded most pleasing.

Liu Erlong's mouth tasted sweet, and hearing these words made her heart feel sweet as well. She simply loved hearing Xu Yan talk like this.

"Look at you, your little mouth is as sweet as honey," Liu Erlong chuckled.

Xu Yan thought to himself that there was still no reaction. With Jiang Zhu and Ning Rongrong, the effect had been immediate, hitting the target on the first try with instant results.

Could it be because Liu Erlong was older and more mature?

Just as Liu Erlong was still reveling in the pleasant feeling, her spirit suddenly jolted.

Xu Yan looked at Liu Erlong and asked, "What's wrong?"

At this moment, looking at Xu Yan, Liu Erlong felt as though she were gazing upon the most perfect man in her heart.

At this moment, Xu Yan seemed to be glowing all over.

Suddenly dazed, she blurted out, "Yuhao... do you think older sister is pretty?"

"Uh..." Xu Yan thought to himself, here it comes, here it comes, it's taking effect.

This was clearly the rhythm of sweeping through all the females in Shrek Academy in one fell swoop.

"Pretty. Sister Erlong is the prettiest," Xu Yan hurriedly said.

A flush appeared on Liu Erlong's pretty face, bringing a sudden touch of shyness as she chuckled softly, "You little rascal, you really know how to talk. Then do you like older sister?"

Looking at Liu Erlong's somewhat bewitching appearance, Xu Yan nodded quickly and said, "I like you... I like you so much."

Liu Erlong took the fruit out of her mouth, leaned close to Xu Yan's ear, and breathed warm air against it as she whispered, "Older sister likes you too..."

With that, Liu Erlong planted a kiss on Xu Yan's cheek. Xu Yan felt he could barely handle this—who knew Liu Erlong would become so enchanting?

Steadfastly maintaining his composure, Xu Yan wrapped his arm around Liu Erlong's waist and said, "Sister... it's getting too late, you should head back. I'm all sweaty and smelly, I need to go wash up with hot water first. You should rest early."

Having said that, Xu Yan immediately slipped away.

Liu Erlong did not refuse. Watching the back of Xu Yan as he departed, a smile lingering on her face, she slowly stood up.

With a smile gracing her refined and mature face, she put the fruit back into her mouth and murmured softly, "Huo Yuhao, sooner or later I'll make you mine!"

After taking a comfortable hot water bath, Xu Yan sat on the edge of his bed, thinking that Liu Erlong had fallen for it as well.

Now only Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing were left.

Anyway, this wasn't any harmful substance or aphrodisiac drug, so there were no side effects.

It simply made them fall in love with someone more easily.

Since he still had two fruits left in his hands, it would be just right for Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing to have one each—this was all simply the system's arrangement!

The night passed quietly, and the next day brought the usual special training.

Today, the Shrek Seven Monsters also had iron blocks tied to their legs, making everyone miserable.

However, Tang Shan felt that he was back in form, standing on equal footing with Xu Yan once again.

Only, none of them knew that the iron plates Xu Yan had tied to his legs weighed a thousand catties each.

Throughout the entire day, Tang Shan didn't see himself steaming with sweat, whereas Xu Yan was the only one constantly letting off steam.

"Burn, youth! Hot-blooded teenager, charge forward bravely!"

Xu Yan dashed toward the finish line at top speed.

It was as if there was nothing on his back or attached to his feet.

Xu Yan even brought out a jump rope, continuously skipping beneath a large tree!

His speed was so fast that the rope became invisible, and he appeared to be shrouded entirely within an arc-shaped shadow.

Standing nearby and watching this scene, Yu Gang and Qin Ming both felt that Xu Yan was working far too hard.

"This kid always manages to think of special ways to push and train himself. He truly is a rare talent," Yu Gang couldn't help praising.

"Teacher, but Xu Yan doesn't seem very sociable," Qin Ming said with a slight frown. "Perhaps because he is too exceptional and works too hard, the other Shrek students feel like he's making things difficult for them."

"Forget it, let him be. As for the special training for the Shrek Seven Monsters, keep it as it is. We cannot demand everyone to work as hard as Huo Yuhao, or it will break them," Yu Gang said.

Qin Ming nodded in agreement.

Just then, Liu Erlong walked over. Seeing how hard Xu Yan was working not far away, she immediately hurried over: "Yuhao... that's enough. You'll wear yourself out like this."

Xu Yan slowly came to a halt, smiling at Liu Erlong: "I'm fine."

Liu Erlong immediately stepped forward, took out her personal handkerchief, and wiped the sweat from Xu Yan's brow as she chided, "You child, why are you risking your life like this? It breaks my heart."

Tang Shan, Xiao Wu, Oscar, Dai Mubai, and the others were utterly shocked by this sight.

Even Yu Gang and Qin Ming, who were just about to leave, turned around.

They looked on with startled expressions as Liu Erlong took such tender care of Xu Yan.

"Why is Aunt Erlong caring so much about this guy?" Dai Mubai asked with some bewilderment.

Ning Rongrong and Jiang Zhu also walked over, immediately showing their concern for Xu Yan as well.

With the three women all surrounding Xu Yan, it caused everyone present to drop their jaws in astonishment.

"Yuhao, are you tired?" Jiang Zhu asked with concern.

"Yuhao, are you thirsty? I have water here," said Ning Rongrong.

Liu Erlong, on the other hand, said dominantly, "Let Yuhao rest for a moment first."

Xu Yan thought to himself that this was indeed getting a bit intense.

He could feel Oscar's murderous glare fixed upon him.

He even felt as though he could see a patch of green light glowing atop Yu Gang's head.

"Teacher..." Qin Ming looked over at Yu Gang.
