Douluo Dalu 2: The True God King-Chapter 250: [DD2]:

Upon hearing this, Meng Hongchen neither confirmed nor denied it.

Did Su Yu not know that Wang Dong was a girl?

Thinking back to how Su Yu and Wang Dong used to play around and bicker, Meng Hongchen narrowed her eyes.

Su Yu didn't know? That's unlikely.

Most likely, Su Yu was just pretending to be ignorant while knowing the truth.

This was exactly the kind of thing Su Yu would do.

Only this naive little girl in front of her would believe that Su Yu was unaware.

Meng Hongchen didn't think Su Yu would be so foolish as to not recognize the difference between a man and a woman after spending so much time together.

Su Yu was cunning.

Did Wang Dong'er think she could hide it from Su Yu with her little tricks?

But Meng Hongchen had no intention of reminding Wang Dong'er. Wang Dong'er harbored quite a bit of hostility toward her. Though Meng Hongchen was usually gentle, she didn't mind being a little mischievous from time to time.

Seeing this little fool act so clueless was quite amusing.

As she thought about it, the corners of Meng Hongchen's lips curved slightly upward.

But when Wang Dong'er saw Meng Hongchen smiling, she became displeased.

"Meng Hongchen, what are you laughing at? Do you think I'm lying?"

Wang Dong'er said unhappily.

Meng Hongchen chuckled, "No, I believe everything you say is true. But... there are no 'ifs' in this world."

"The reality now is that I am Yu's official girlfriend, while you... haven't even secured your place yet."

"You!"

Wang Dong'er trembled with anger, pointing at Meng Hongchen, but for a long time, she couldn't get a word out.

Because the facts were right in front of her—she had indeed fallen behind Meng Hongchen by a large step.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Wang Dong'er fumed, "It's all because of you! You took advantage of the situation! You have no sense of honor!"

Meng Hongchen couldn't help but laugh. "Miss Dong'er, relationships have always been this way. If you have problems yourself, can you blame others for getting ahead?"

"Besides, Yu and I are in a normal relationship. We know each other, we cherish each other, and we are together openly and honestly. How can you say I took advantage of the situation?"

Wang Dong'er was speechless. She stammered for a long time but didn't know how to respond.

She simply glared at Meng Hongchen with her big, beautiful eyes, her cheeks puffed up like a little pufferfish.

Meng Hongchen observed Wang Dong'er and chuckled, "Miss Dong'er, you are quite endearing. Especially when you're angry—your slightly flustered, sulky look is probably irresistible to most men."

"No wonder Yu likes you. But acting like this won't work on me—I won't fall for you."

Wang Dong'er huffed. "Funny, I don't like you either."

"Mutual feelings, then," Meng Hongchen replied with a smile.

Wang Dong'er glared at her, then grabbed a cup of tea from the table and took a big gulp before complaining, "I don't even understand why Su Yu would fall for a sly little minx like you. You're not as innocent as you look."

Meng Hongchen refuted, "Miss Dong'er, that's quite an unfair accusation."

"Innocence and foolishness are two different things. I'm just not foolish. As for Yu, I have given him my whole heart."

"You can question other things, but you cannot doubt my feelings for Yu."

By this point, Meng Hongchen's voice had turned serious.

Wang Dong'er was momentarily stunned. "Fine, fine, I won't question it. No need to get so fierce."

"Wait... Are you saying I'm foolish?"

Wang Dong'er suddenly realized that something in Meng Hongchen's words seemed a bit insulting.

What did she mean by that? Was she implying something?

Meng Hongchen immediately denied it. "I never said that, Miss Dong'er. Don't twist my words, or I might accuse you of slander."

"You wouldn't want me to tattle on you to Yu, would you?"

Wang Dong'er's eyes widened as if she was seeing Meng Hongchen for the first time.

"Despicable! Meng Hongchen, you're despicable!"

"You'd even resort to tattling? You... you're awful!"

Wang Dong'er was so furious she nearly lost her mind. She never expected Meng Hongchen to threaten her like this.

She rolled up her sleeves, itching to fight her right then and there.

Meng Hongchen covered her mouth and laughed. "Miss Dong'er, don't be so hasty. I was just joking."

"Yu hates tattletales the most. I wouldn't be so foolish as to make him dislike me."

Wang Dong'er suddenly remembered Su Yu's personality. The tension in her heart loosened slightly.

She glared at Meng Hongchen and gritted her teeth. "Meng Hongchen, you are not cute at all."

"I can never bring myself to like you."

Meng Hongchen smiled faintly. "That doesn't matter. As long as Yu likes me, that's enough. I only care about Yu's opinion."

"The things Yu likes, I will try to like too. The things Yu dislikes, even if I originally liked them, I will learn to hate them."

"His will is my choice."

Upon hearing this, Wang Dong'er was stunned. She stared blankly at Meng Hongchen's smiling face, suddenly feeling dazed.

She had always been unwilling to accept Meng Hongchen, thinking that she had merely been lucky.

When it came to feelings for Su Yu, she firmly believed that her love was deeper than Meng Hongchen's.

But at this moment, hearing Meng Hongchen's heartfelt words, she was shaken.

Had Meng Hongchen's love for Su Yu reached this level?

Wang Dong'er doubted whether she could do the same.

She believed she could give everything for Su Yu, even her life, but she wasn't sure she could do it without any complaints.

If Su Yu were to flirt around with other women, she knew she wouldn't be able to just stand by and watch.

She loved Su Yu, but she also wanted to possess him.

Meng Hongchen had possessiveness as well, yet she could still put Su Yu's will above all else.

This kind of love made Wang Dong'er feel somewhat inferior.

For the first time, Wang Dong'er began to understand why Su Yu cherished Meng Hongchen so much, why he always kept her in his thoughts.

If she were Su Yu, she wouldn't be able to resist such a Meng Hongchen either.

Looking at Meng Hongchen, Wang Dong'er's gaze grew complicated, while Meng Hongchen remained smiling as always.

"Meng Hongchen, I admit that my previous opinion of you was biased. But I won't give up."

"I am the one who loves Su Yu the most."

Wang Dong'er declared with firm determination.

Meng Hongchen smiled. "Then I'll be waiting to see."

Wang Dong'er fell silent, sitting on the sofa without speaking.

Meng Hongchen sipped her tea while observing Wang Dong'er's expressions, still smiling.

By doing this, she had probably helped Yu resolve some trouble.

Otherwise, if this stubborn young lady hadn't come to terms with things, who knows how much chaos she would have caused?

Shouldn't Yu be thanking her?

Thinking of this, Meng Hongchen subconsciously pressed her legs together and licked her lips.

Only after experiencing it did she realize how much she had been missing out before.

If she had known earlier, she would have taken the initiative much earlier.

Holding her teacup, Meng Hongchen's thoughts drifted far away.

Yu had only been gone for a little while, yet she already missed him.

"Yu~"

Meng Hongchen let out a soft murmur, her eyes gradually turning hazy.

...

...

On Seagod Island.

Under Yan Shaozhe's guidance, Su Yu followed the stone path, gradually approaching the mountaintop.

A pavilion came into view.

It was a three-story wooden building, brown in color, exuding an ancient and weathered charm.

Upon closer inspection, one could see a faintly oily sheen on the wooden surface of the building, giving it a distinct luster.

The three-story building was only about ten meters tall, lacking any sense of grandeur or magnificence. However, right above the entrance on the first floor, a black plaque hung, with three gilded characters marking its identity.

Sea God Pavilion.

The highest authority center of Shrek Academy.

Yan Shaozhe stopped in his tracks, smiling warmly. "Young Master Su Yu, this is the Sea God Pavilion. The teacher has been waiting for quite some time. Please, come in."

Su Yu glanced at the Sea God Pavilion, and suddenly, the once plain-looking structure burst into a brilliant golden light. The originally brown wooden building transformed into a dazzling golden spectacle as if cast entirely from pure gold.

A dense yet gentle golden glow spread out, enveloping Su Yu, and bringing an inexplicable sense of comfort from deep within.

In his spiritual sea, the usually dormant Electrolux and others all perked up in alertness.

"A distinguished guest arrives, yet I have failed to welcome you properly. Please, enter."

A deep, aged voice seemed to echo right beside his ears, carrying an indescribable sense of authority.

Inside Su Yu's spiritual sea, Electrolux's expression turned serious, while the Ice Empress and Skydream tensed up as if facing a formidable enemy.

["Su Yu, be cautious. The old man here is no ordinary figure."]

The Ice Empress warned with a grave tone.

Su Yu simply smiled lightly, his voice drifting lazily through his spiritual sea.

["It's fine."]

With that, he clasped his hands behind his back and stepped into the Sea God Pavilion with an air of ease.

Inside, the furnishings were simple and traditional. Every piece of furniture and decoration seemed ordinary, but under the golden radiance, the room exuded an almost sacred ambiance.

Upon entering, a spacious hall came into view.

At the center of the hall stood a long table, with figures seated on either side.

At the innermost seat, a shadowy figure lounged in the dim light, radiating an obscure and unfathomable aura.

As soon as Su Yu entered, the figures on both sides of the long table turned their gazes towards him. A surge of invisible pressure instantly descended upon him, a silent yet formidable show of force from the many powerhouses present.

A cold glint flickered in Su Yu's eyes as he unleashed his Spirit Abyss Realm mental power without the slightest restraint.

In an instant, it was as if a galaxy had reversed its course—the combined spiritual pressure from the numerous strong individuals collapsed in an instant, dissipating without a trace.

Shock flashed across the faces of many seated at the long table.

"What terrifying spiritual power!"

A startled exclamation rang out. Su Yu's gaze swept over to the speaker—a middle-aged woman unfamiliar to him. She had a striking figure, curvaceous yet well-toned, and despite her age, her well-maintained features still exuded a hint of heroic spirit.

With just one look, Su Yu could tell—this woman was someone with a strong competitive streak.

Beside her sat a slightly plump middle-aged man, his appearance giving off an impression of a smooth and tactful nature.

Across from him was someone Su Yu had met before—Cai Mei'er.

Beyond these individuals, there were several elders whom Su Yu wasn't familiar with, except for an elder named Elder Chen, whom he had encountered once before.

Su Yu scanned the room unapologetically, his gaze sweeping over the elders without an ounce of restraint. Then, he spoke in a tone devoid of courtesy:

"So, this is how Shrek Academy treats its guests?"

Sea God Pavilion?

So what?

Su Yu was not the type to endure oppression.

Yan Shaozhe coughed awkwardly, attempting to mediate, but a deep, aged voice from the inner seat spoke first.

"A distinguished guest has arrived, and we have been remiss in our welcome. Young Master Su Yu, please take a seat."

"Am I speaking to Dragon God Douluo in person?"

Su Yu asked indifferently.

The elder chuckled. "I am indeed Mu En."

Su Yu nodded slightly. "The world believes Dragon God Douluo has long since passed away. To think that you are still alive... Shrek Academy certainly keeps its secrets well."

Mu En let out a gentle laugh. "Young Master Su Yu jests. This old man is nothing more than a dying flame, with only a few years left to live."

"In the future, we may need to rely on Young Master Su Yu to look after Shrek Academy."

Hearing this, Su Yu neither agreed nor disagreed.

"Young Master Su Yu, please take a seat."

Su Yu glanced around and soon spotted a familiar figure—Zhang Leyuan.

She was seated at the very end, indicating that she was the most junior member present.

Without hesitation, Su Yu walked over and took a seat beside her, flashing a smile in her direction.

Zhang Leyuan was momentarily stunned, uncertain of what Su Yu was up to this time.

The seasoned elders, however, immediately caught on, their eyes flickering with keen interest.

"Shaozhe."

Seeing Su Yu seated, Mu En called out softly.

Yan Shaozhe understood and began introducing the individuals present.

Throughout the introductions, Su Yu remained completely unfazed, his demeanor as calm as ever. It was as if the lineup of Super Douluo and Titled Douluo seated before him meant absolutely nothing.

The elders exchanged glances, their curiosity growing.

The purpose of inviting Su Yu here was not only to discuss matters but also to assert Shrek Academy's strength to negotiate from an equal footing.

Yet, from Su Yu's reaction, it was clear that this strategy was proving ineffective.

Su Yu was far too composed.

As Yan Shaozhe introduced name after name—each belonging to a Supreme Douluo or a Titled Douluo—Su Yu's expression did not change once.

Even when he mentioned Elder Lin and Elder Song, two Rank 97 Super Douluo, Su Yu's face remained utterly indifferent.

That kind of tranquility wasn't an act—it was genuine.

To be completely disregarded like this was an unsettling experience for the elders, yet none dared to show offense.

The calmer Su Yu appeared, the more it suggested that he had an immense background and that Ice God Palace was even stronger than they had anticipated.

Just how deep does Ice God Palace's foundation go, for Su Yu to be this confident?

This was the question that lingered in the minds of every elder present.

"Shrek Academy truly has an abundance of Super Douluo—an impressive lineup indeed."

Su Yu said casually, though his flat tone made it completely unconvincing.

The elders felt a flicker of irritation but swallowed it down.

Su Yu continued, "So, may I ask what guidance Elder Mu has for me?"

He had no intention of wasting time on pleasantries.

Right now, he would much rather return and spend time with Meng Hongchen.

And even if not for that, teasing Wang Dong'er was far more entertaining than dealing with a bunch of old men.

This meeting bored him.

Mu En sighed softly and said, "The reason we invited you here today... is because we have a favor to ask."

Su Yu intertwined his fingers and crossed one leg over the other.

"Oh?"

"There are things even your esteemed academy cannot handle?"

"Just so we're clear—I am a man of limited ability. If even Shrek Academy cannot resolve the issue, there's a good chance I won't be able to either."

Right from the start, he made it clear that he would not be guilt-tripped into helping.

Yan Shaozhe quickly interjected, "No, no, Young Master Su Yu, this is something you definitely can help with."
