Douluo: My Teacher Is Supreme Pontiff-Chapter 29 โ Will You Be My Girlfriend
"Mm, mmm..." ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ซ๐ฃ๐ธ๐ซ๐ฎ๐.๐๐๐ถ
Although Li Changโan hadnโt kissed many people in this lifeโand the last time with Hu Liena, heโd been on the receiving endโit didnโt really matter. After all, in his past life, Li Changโan had been quite the seasoned player. He was more than familiar with them.
As soon as he slipped his tongue into Qian Renxueโs soft, cherry-like lips, the kiss deepened, his hand wrapping naturally around her slender waist.
Qian Renxue was completely stunned. She had thought a quick peck on the cheek would settle the matter, but who wouldโve guessed this man would go straight for her lips? That was her first kiss!
By the time Qian Renxue snapped out of it, Li Changโanโs lips were already dancing across hers. Strangely enough, her body felt limp, as if all her strength had drained awayโshe wanted to push him away, but she couldnโt.
Qian Renxue forced her eyes open wide and stared directly into Li Changโanโs gaze, letting out muffled protests through their kiss, her small fists weakly pounding against his shoulders.
"Heh, see? I told you, just one kiss," Li Changโan finally let go, licking his lips with a satisfied look.
"You bastard!" Qian Renxueโs soul power surged, and she raised her hand as if to strike.
But Li Changโan stood there confidently, unmoving, simply looking at her with calm eyes.
He was bettingโbetting a silver coinโthat Qian Renxue wouldnโt hit him.
Sure enough, her hand froze mid-air. "Why didnโt you dodge?"
"I figured you wouldnโt hit me..." Li Changโan replied, pulling Qian Renxue into his embrace again, patting her gently on the back. "I noticed you from the first time we walked into the classroom. You were so alone... and so cute."
"I always believed that behind every cold-hearted girl, thereโs a story. I donโt know yours yet, but... I want to stay by your side, always..."
"Waaahโyou jerk! Why did you get close to me... why did you force your way into my life..." Qian Renxue sobbed, her fists hitting Li Changโanโs back repeatedly, but she never pulled away from his arms.
She thought of the first time he teased her, of how annoyingly mischievous he could be, and that ever-smirking, roguish smile of his...
"Qian Renxue... will you be my girlfriend?" Li Changโan asked gently, seizing the moment.
"Pfft, youโre still three or four years younger than me! As if Iโd be your girlfriend," Qian Renxue murmured, resting her head against his chest with her eyes closed.
If it were any ordinary man, he might panic at her answer. But not Li Changโan. After all, he was an experienced player.
He sighed dramatically, pretending to be disappointed. "Alright then... lately, the teacherโs been trying to match me with our senior sister. If youโre not interested, I guess Iโll..."
"You dare!" Qian Renxue instantly lifted her head and glared at him, puffing her cheeks in mock anger.
Li Changโan grabbed her hand. "Then... Iโll wait for you, alright? After you finish your undercover mission, youโll be my girlfriend."
Qian Renxue shyly lowered her head, then gently nodded, her voice barely audible as she whispered, "...Okay."
Li Changโan took the opportunity to steal another kissโthis time, though, Qian Renxue tentatively responded with her tongue, so naturally... Li Changโan let his hands wander a bit further...

"I should go now," Qian Renxue said softly, reluctant to let go of Li Changโanโs hand as she adjusted her slightly disheveled clothes and hair.
"Alright. I swear, thereโs only you in my heart now. The moment I get a chance, Iโll come visit you. You better miss me too," Li Changโan said, looking into her eyes with burning sincerity.
In that moment, his heart truly belonged to Qian Renxue. That much... wasnโt a lie.

Li Changโan didnโt escort Qian Renxue back to her carriageโhe was afraid the two Title Douluo accompanying her would sense something was off and beat him to death on the spot. Instead, he stood by the roadside, watching her glance back every few steps as she boarded the carriage. Only then did he smirk and turn to leave.
He had more than completed his task this time. The goal had been to get Qian Renxue to like him a little, but instead, he had completely won her over. Now that she was gone, he could focus on handling the other three girls in his lifeโthings would be a bit easier now.
Still, Li Changโan wasnโt without new responsibilities. He had recently accepted a new task:
[Ding! New mission issued: show off your strength in front of Bibi Dong. Reward: One storage wristband, with 10,000 cubic meters of space and absolute time stasis inside.]
This mission had come three days ago, and it had given him a serious headache. Showing off in front of Bibi Dong? Not an easy task. But he wasnโt without a plan.
Before todayโs trip, he had used his points to exchange for a batch of soul power-enhancing fruits. After consuming them, his soul power had skyrocketed to Rank 20!
Two days ago, he had already signed up to join a school expedition for hunting soul beasts. Today was the day the team was scheduled to set out.
His plan was simple: reaching Rank 20 in just over a month would be the perfect way to impress Bibi Dong. And after obtaining his second spirit ring, heโd be even stronger than that.
He didnโt ask Bibi Dong to accompany him this time. She had been busy consolidating power over the last month, and he didnโt want to disturb her.
Besides, the system had calculated that his second spirit ring could be a maximum of 9,000 years old. The Heaven Dou Forest had no suitable soul beasts for him. Going elsewhere would waste too much timeโand Bibi Dong wouldnโt be free either.
But going with the academy was a different story. The school would naturally consider the needs of each student. This time, several students needed 2,000- to 4,000-year soul beasts, so the chosen destination was the Star Dou Great Forest!
When Li Changโan submitted his name, it caused a bit of a stir. However, the teacher in charge helped keep the news under wrapsโafter all, advancing to spirit Grandmaster in just over a month was a bit too unbelievable.
After a quick breakfast at home and packing a few things into his storage space, Li Changโan headed straight to the Spirit Hall Academy. Since the Star Dou Great Forest was a distance away from Spirit City, they had to leave earlier than usual.
Upon arriving at the academy gates, he saw the assembled teamโnot many people, only six or seven students. Accompanying them was a teacher and the vice dean himself, Duolong.
Truth be told, Duolong was likely here largely because of Li Changโanโs identity.
