Sealed Divine Throne II: Twin Sons of Dragon
Chapter 129 - 129 64 Sacred Legate Summoning_1
Chapter 129: Chapter 64 Sacred Legate Summoning_1 Chapter 129: Chapter 64 Sacred Legate Summoning_1 When Long Dangdang arrived at the dining hall, the first-year students’ canteen was already packed. He looked around but didn’t see Long Kongkong. That lad sure ran off fast.
The next moment, he felt a curious mixture of looks from all around him. Some were curious, some were strange, but most were hostile.
Undoubtedly, Divine Maiden Menglu, Elements Saintess Zisang Liuying, together with the white phoenix Cai Caijuan, were the three most adored goddesses among the first-year students. Sixteen was a tender age when boys and girls began to understand matters of the heart; almost every boy dreamt of being in a relationship with at least one of these goddesses. Yet unexpectedly, a freshman seems to have won their affections. More surprisingly, it appeared he was dating two women at once.
How were they supposed to tolerate that?
In that instance, Long Dangdang felt as if he was against the world. Those hostile gazes surrounding him seemed like they were about to tear him apart.
So, is this what it’s like to be reviled by the masses? Long Dangdang felt helpless because, more importantly, no one would believe his clarifications now! His cousin’s casual utterance of “scumbag” had a significant impact on how he was perceived.
Dear cousin, you have caused me great misery.
Having collected his lunch, Long Dangdang sat at an unoccupied table as if there were nothing amiss; his classmates from Knights Class One didn’t even join him.
Such unfaithful fellows!
He would eat his meal, finish up and return to his cultivation. Let them think what they might.
Long Dangdang seemed calm, as he had a clear conscience.
Just then, a figure appeared in front of him. A girl carrying her lunch tray sat across him.
“Hey, scumbag, could you tell me how you hooked up with Menglu and Zisang? I’m really curious.” Cai Caijuan looked at the nonchalant expression on Long Dangdang’s face. She felt a trace of admiration in her heart; he could stay so composed even under public scrutiny. Was this the real demeanor of a scumbag?
Looking at the girl in front of him, whose summoned birth sign beast is a white phoenix, Long Dangdang sighed inwardly, thinking, aren’t you just adding fuel to the fire?
However, when the surrounding students saw Cai Caijuan take the initiative to approach Long Dangdang, they momentarily forgot their hostility.
Who exactly was this person? The rumored deity who collects goddesses? One, two, and now the third one. The boys’ hearts shattered into pieces. The proud students of Summoners Class One also stared in disbelief, their resentment reaching a peak.
“My name is Long Dangdang, not scumbag,” said Long Dangdang in a calm yet detached tone to Cai Caijuan as he put down his chopsticks.
“Alright, I understand now. Didn’t you just say that you want to cast a wide net and cultivate one by one? Then you can ensnare me as well. Let me experience how you succeed.” Cai Caijuan said enthusiastically.
Long Dangdang was taken aback, “I never said anything like that.”
“What? Are you refusing to admit you’re a scumbag now?” Cai Caijuan looked at him in complete shock.
“When did I agree to anything?” Long Dangdang was utterly bewildered.
Cai Caijuan pouted, “I don’t like boys who lie. It seems like you can’t play me.”
“You’re overthinking,” said Long Dangdang, who was starting to lose his patience. After being unjustly labeled as a scumbag all day, his patience was wearing thin. He ignored Cai Caijuan and began to eat his lunch in big bites, intending to finish quickly and return to his cultivation.
“Hey, are you ignoring me? Is there something wrong with me? Am I inferior to those two? Even if I am not as pretty as Menglu, I am not worse than Zisang, right?” Cai Caijuan was a bit infuriated at him ignoring her.
Long Dangdang only focused on his meal, determined to finish it as quickly as possible. He pondered whether he should just get takeout and eat in his dormitory in the future.
“Why are you ignoring me? Are you being polite?” Cai Caijuan tapped on the table.
“I’m eating. One should not talk while eating or sleeping. Understand?” Long Dangdang responded helplessly.
Cai Caijuan leaned forward and lowered her voice: “Menglu has invited me to join her future demon hunting team, which, she says, you are also a part of. So, we’ll be teammates from now on. Zisang might be a part of it too. If we’re on the same team and you create a discord between us out of jealousy, that wouldn’t be harmonious, right? You better think this through.”
A demon hunting team? Long Dangdang sighed, “Alright, let me explain. The ‘casting a wide net and cultivating one by one’ thing you mentioned wasn’t something I said. You probably ran into my younger brother Long Kongkong; that wasn’t me. Also, Zisang and I are just classmates. She approached me this morning to spar with me, and I refused her because she was impolite. This happened to be witnessed by Menglu. Menglu, my cousin, deliberately maligned me by calling me a scumbag. Moreover, she and Zisang Liuying will likely not be on the same team in the future. She probably misunderstood that Zisang was trying to recruit me to her team, which is why she called me a scumbag out of spite. Don’t you know what her personality is like?”
Cai Caijuan’s eyes sparkled, “So does that mean you’re quite popular?”
Long Dangdang quickly finished the food in front of him.
“I wouldn’t say that. I should be going.” With that, he picked up his tray and walked away.
Watching his retreating figure, Cai Caijuan had a thoughtful look on her pretty face. She murmured to herself, “Is it possible that Zisang and Menglu aren’t on the same team? But Menglu never said that before! Is Menglu really that concerned about Long Dangdang? He managed to cooperate with Menglu and win the championship of the previous assessment. There must be some secrets. Long Dangdang, you have successfully piqued my interest!”
