Douluo: Unbeatable from Capturing a Goddess

She haughtily pursed her red lips, looking every bit the arrogant heiress.

"Look at you, acting all high and mighty, just like a Capricious Princess," Qin Lan said with a smile, shaking her head.

"Buzz!"

Just then, Jia Lan's phone screen lit up, displaying a new text message.

Jia Lan couldn't help but roll her eyes, her cheeks puffing up with annoyance.

"This is really relentless."

"If the call doesn't go through, start sending texts."

She complained verbally while peeking at the content of the message.

"Yikes!"

She suddenly let out a piercing shriek, startling Qin Lan.

"You girl, why the sudden scream?" Qin Lan rebuked.

"It's over, all over!!"

Jia Lan looked frantic, her pair of Jade Feet and beautiful legs fidgeting restlessly, scampering around on the spot.

"What's over?" Qin Lan asked.

"It was him, the call earlier was from him."

Jia Lan was visibly flustered, pacing back and forth in the room, unsure of what to do.

"What should I do now, I scolded the wrong person."

"Will he think I'm rude!"

"Who is he... his..." Qin Lan stared wide-eyed as Jia Lan directed the phone screen towards her, letting her read the message contents.

It read only four words, "I am Luo Yu."

"This..." Qin Lan's delicate body trembled slightly.

Just four simple words sent both the strong career woman and the youthful, beautiful girls into a panic.

"I didn't expect him to reach out to us so soon after his awakening, while being so busy," Qin Lan hadn't seen that coming.

"But we just hung up on him and gave him a piece of our mind without any explanation," Jia Lan held her phone, clutching her chest, looking distressed.

Qin Lan shook her head.

"No!"

"It wasn't us."

"You were the one who hung up, you scolded him, I'm innocent!!"

Jia Lan fell silent.

"Is it important to shift the blame right now?"

"What's important is how we should respond now."

"After hanging up on Luo Gongzi so many times, he won't be angry, will he?"

Qin Lan hesitated:

"If it were any other man who had called us so many times, would we be angry?"

"It's hopeless, completely hopeless." Jia Lan felt as if all had turned to Darkness before her eyes.

"What are you hesitating for, call back quickly and explain!" Qin Lan was getting anxious as well, urging from the side.

"How should I explain?" Jia Lan's voice was edged with desperation.

"Just explain it as it is."

Qin Lan said resignedly, "Luo Gongzi is broad-minded and won't hold it against you."

Quickly, Jia Lan's trembling delicate fingers dialed the number back, her heart pounding erratically as sweat seeped into her palms.

Ordinary men, even as sycophants, may not be liked by anyone.

Exceptional men cause women to sweat nervously when they can't reach them.

"If you bloom, butterflies will come."

"Beep—"

The call connected, and a man's magnetic voice came through.

"Hi."

Jia Lan became even more nervous upon hearing his voice.

"Luo Gongzi... please don't get me wrong, lately a couple of people have been harassing—"

"No need to explain, I understand," Luo Yu's gentle voice interrupted, "It's all a misunderstanding, right?"

"Yes! Yes, yes, yes! Absolutely!!" Jia Lan nodded feverishly, even though Luo Yu couldn't see her.

At that moment, she felt the man was incredibly gentle, as if a god had shot an arrow that pierced right through her heart.

"I was hoping to invite two beauties to join me for an outing, wondering if you both have the time..."

"I do! I have time!" Jia Lan answered quickly, afraid the man would change his mind, and then turned to Qin Lan, "I'm free, whether Sister Lan is, I'm not sure."

Qin Lan had been all ears, listening closely, obviously overhearing.

"I'm also available, today is the annual Awakening Day, no work."

"Great, I'll be downstairs in half an hour."

"Okay, okay!" Jia Lan agreed and Luo Yu ended the call promptly.

Listening to the dial tone, Jia Lan was still in a daze.

It felt like a dream.

Her crush calling her at the most unlikely time, and even inviting her out?

At that moment, a pair of lotus-like arms pulled her back to reality.

Qin Lan spat out a curse,

"Who said I don't have time? I'm going to strangle you, you little brat!!"

"Thinking of keeping him all to yourself, aren't you?"

"Tell me, are you planning to monopolize Luo Gongzi? Are you starting to get crafty with your sister, huh?"

"No, I was just joking!" Jia Lan defended.

"Besides, you promised Luo Gongzi to come over in half an hour. Is half an hour enough for the two of us to do our makeup and get dressed?" Qin Lan criticized.

"Ah!"

"I forgot about that."

Ordinary people surely didn't need so much time to dress up, but when it came to seeing the man they fancied, they naturally wanted to look as exquisite as possible, showing their best sides.

The two of them quickly got busy with their preparations.

Half an hour later, at the bottom of the residential building.

Two stunning silhouettes emerged from the building entrance.

Jia Lan stood with a pair of cute and innocent twin ponytails, her makeup delicate like a young girl's, her skin rosy like a porcelain doll's. In a JK sailor uniform, a black thin belt accentuated her slender waist, and beneath her short skirt, her snow-white legs were clad in black, short-stockings.

Qin Lan, on the other hand, epitomized the urban, sexy lady look, with a white blouse, black miniskirt, black stockings, and a pair of high heels with red soles and black edges. Her hair was pulled into a neat high ponytail, she wore black-framed glasses, her long lashes curled, and her eyeshadow was mature and alluring.

A pair of red lips, bright but not garish.

"Where's Luo Gongzi?"

After descending the stairs, they immediately looked around, as if worried that the man wouldn't appear.

"Over here!"

A man's voice came from afar, and they directed their gazes toward it.

A tall and handsome young man resembling a banished immortal stood by the roadside, pushing a small electric scooter and looking at them.

"Luo Gongzi, what's this...?"

The two women approached him, surprised at the sight of Luo Yu and the small electric scooter.

"What's the matter?" Luo Yu asked with a smile, "Don't tell me you two disdain my modest scooter, thinking it'll embarrass you."

"Give me a break," Qin Lan rolled her eyes, "As if anyone would disdain you. It's more like I'm unworthy of you."

"Just curious how someone with your status doesn't bring a bunch of bodyguards and drive top-tier luxury cars, and instead comes riding a small electric donkey."

"Hahaha."

Luo Yu laughed, "I got tired of luxury cars, trying out a little electric scooter isn't bad either."

"Tired of luxury cars, tsk tsk," Jia Lan teased, "Hast thou heard such talk?"

Qin Lan said sarcastically, "Perhaps Luo Gongzi has had enough of the high-end and classy beauty experience and wants to see what it's like to be around ordinary maidens like us."

"What are you saying!" Luo Yu immediately glared, "What do you mean by that?"

"Am I that kind of person?"

"And stop talking about ordinary maidens. Who decided that? With your elegance, you're like fairies from the heavens."

"Pfft—"

"Luo Gongzi, your words are as sweet as honey."

"A man's mouth, a lying ghost."

The JK beauty and the professional-looking lady in black stockings were both amused, covering their red lips, unable to contain their laughter, shoulders shaking and chests quivering.

Seeing this, Luo Yu's lips curved in a slight smile.

"Would the two fairies care to join me for a ride?"

"Sure," Qin Lan nodded, while Jia Lan giggled, "Hehe, it's the first time I've seen a man describe dragging someone along to enjoy the breeze in such a fresh and refined way."

Qin Lan turned to the side,

"Stop the chatter, you girl, just say if you want to go or not."

Jia Lan, without speaking, silently got on the scooter, snatching a favorable spot.

"This..."

"Now there's no place to sit," Qin Lan uttered, dazed.

Luo Yu laughed, "You can sit in the front."

"This..." Qin Lan's face turned red as she blushed, almost dripping with embarrassment, too shy to sit.

"I couldn't possibly, Luo Gongzi."

...

On the streets of Da Jing, a beautiful sight unfolded.

A man wearing sunglasses and a face mask, decked out in slippers and a plain white T-shirt, rode a cheap electric scooter.

In the front, he carried a sexy lady in black stockings, and behind him, a twin ponytailed JK beauty wrapped her arms around him, speeding through the streets.

"Whoa—"

"What... what's this situation!?"

"I drive a BMW and can't get a girl in the passenger seat, yet this guy's on an electric scooter with two top-notch beauties front and back."

"Stop joking, am I blind?"

"Could this be... the legendary thing called love?"

"Geneva, this is so unfair! Ah!!!"

Envious voices and puzzled exclamations rose from both sides of the street...
