The Crown Prince's Bedchamber
"Damn old fool."
Upon hearing the news, Qian Renxue expression darkened. That senile fool, with his feet already in the grave, was still causing trouble. Where was she supposed to find a child now?
Thinking of replacing the crown prince? A fool's fantasy!
"It's all because of this plan that my cultivation has been slow..."
Qian Renxue eyes darkened slightly as she truly felt for the first time how unreasonable this plan to seize the throne was.
"With that elusive figure around, we can't even leave now."
In the bustling city of Tian Dou, after leaving Yue Xuan, Xiao Lin wandered around the city, leaving his footprints at the Grand Soul Arena, the auction house, and various shops.
"Registration for the Advanced Soul Master Academy is about to begin. It's said that Shrek Academy is undoubtedly the strongest academy!"
"Shrek is indeed the strongest academy on the entire continent. Even the Golden Generation of the Soul Hall lost to the Shrek Seven Devils. It's said that the one called Tang San is the soul of their group!"
The conversation between a few soul masters by the roadside caught Xiao Lin's attention. Shrek Academy?
"In my opinion, it's all thanks to that wise and insightful Master. He's Tang San's teacher! The wise corner of the Golden Iron Triangle!"
"That Master who couldn't even reach level 30 in his lifetime? Him?"
"Hey, you outsider, your information is still stuck in the past. The Master has broken through his limitations and is already over level 30. It's said he'll break through to level 40 in less than two years!"
"That's all thanks to his disciple. Never mind, I need to urge my child to train. When the time comes, I'll bring my child to sign up!"
"Look, isn't that the master?"
"It seems to be him. The two beside him should be Flanders and Liu Erlong from the Golden Iron Triangle, right?"
Several soul masters looked at the three figures approaching from a distance and couldn't help but become excited.
"No doubt about it, it must be him!"
"The grilled meat today was really good. Since we moved to Tian Dou City, our meals have never been bad."
Flanders was drunk, with one hand resting on his slightly protruding belly and oil stains still on the corners of his lips.
"That's true. We should visit that grilled meat shop more often." "
Yu Xiaogang, who was completely drunk, nodded in agreement. His cultivation had been going smoothly lately, and he was in a very good mood.
"Agreed. By the way, while we've been drinking and eating, I remember that Prince Xue Qinghe, who was kidnapped by the dragon, has returned. Have you heard about that?"
Liu Erlong's face was slightly flushed; she had also drunk quite a bit tonight. Nearly two years had passed, and she had gradually emerged from the sadness of Xiao Wu and the others leaving.
"I've heard about it. That dragon's roar shook the entire Tian Dou City. Who doesn't know about it?"
Flanders perked up upon hearing this.
"But his return is rather peculiar. If he were kidnapped by the demon dragon, how could he possibly survive?"
"As far as I know, dragons are arrogant and look down on everything. Perhaps they simply disdain the crown prince."
Yu Xiaogang pondered for a moment before speaking.
"There are many rumors about the demon dragon in Tian Dou City. It is said that the demon dragon is inherently evil, lustful, and highly interested in beautiful women."
Flanders pushed his glasses up and wore a serious expression.
"Both the Seven Treasure Glass Sect and the Tian Dou army returned empty-handed. The demon dragon might likely return."
"Don't worry, the demon dragon won't come."
Yu Xiaogang chuckled, placed his hand on Flanders' shoulder, and shook his head confidently.
"Why?"
Flanders was startled, and Liu Erlong beside him also gave him a puzzled look.
Yu Xiaogang, his eyes blurry from drunkenness, glanced at the two of them, staggered forward a few steps, and laughed loudly, "A mere demon dragon? When it meets my Golden Holy Dragon, it will have to kneel on the ground!"
"Hm?"
Xiao Lin furrowed his brows. He had to kneel? This Yu Xiaogang was pretty arrogant. Just a Soul Fusion Technique, did he think his pig was a real dragon?
"Well said! What dragon? In our Shrek hands, it's just a crawling insect!"
Liu Erlong roared, clearly thrilled. She hadn't seen such a domineering Yu Xiaogang in a long time.
"Right, just a crawling insect!"
Flanders chimed in, chuckling foolishly.
"So domineering! No wonder he's the core leader of Shrek!"
The few soul masters by the roadside were energized. This was Shrek! They weren't even afraid of a demon dragon!
"Creepy crawler…"
Xiao Lin's eyes suddenly turned cold, and the violent dark energy within him slowly began to spread.
"What is that! Quick, run!"
The few soul masters by the roadside noticed the streetlights being consumed by black mist and fled in terror.
"Hm? Who's there!"
Liu Erlong crossed her arms, flicked the hem of her black fishtail skirt, and stepped forward first.
"Passersby."
Xiao Lin's figure instantly flashed to Yu Xiaogang's side, grabbed his shoulder, and pressed down lightly, pinning him to the ground.
Bang—
The floor tiles shattered, and Yu Xiaogang's knees emitted a crisp sound. His expression changed drastically, and he let out an agonized scream.
"Damn it!"
Flanders flew into a rage, but before his eight soul rings could appear, he felt a heavy blow to his abdomen, sending him flying backward and crashing through a wall.
"Xiaogang! Flanders! You're asking for death!"
Liu Erlong sobered up instantly. She took a step forward, and a fire dragon appeared behind her, but when Xiao Lin glanced at her, her body trembled uncontrollably, and her legs felt as heavy as lead, unable to move an inch.
"Golden Holy Dragon? Save you?"
Xiao Lin's cold, contemptuous gaze fell on Yu Xiaogang. His dark, deep eyes gradually transformed into vertical pupils.
"Dragon… you're not from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family!"
Yu Xiaogang caught sight of the dragon's tail behind Xiao Lin. His mouth was stained with blood, and cold sweat trickled down his forehead. This young man's soul power was overwhelming, but the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan's soul power wasn't like this. Could it be a mutated soul power?
"A mere杂龙, dare to compare yourself to me? I was just thinking about how to cause you trouble, and now you've given me a reason to act. "
"You… ah!"
"I don't know which of my words offended you, but I'm willing to apologize for it!"
"Xiaogang, why apologize? This villain bullies the weak. We did nothing wrong!"
Liu Erlong had a fiery temper and didn't think she had done anything wrong. She was extremely dissatisfied with Yu Xiaogang's submissive behavior.
"So what if the Demon Dragon is inferior to the Golden Holy Dragon? What's wrong with me saying that?"
"You're quite brave."
Xiao Lin narrowed his eyes, his anger growing.
"Erlong!"
Yu Xiaogang saw that Liu Erlong was still provoking the other party and hurriedly scolded her.
"This is Tian Dou City. If you provoke me, Liu Erlong, I'll make sure you regret it!"
Liu Erlong's eyes were icy cold. Their Shrek Academy had a title Douluo backing them, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was her support, the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect had their students, and the Haotian Douluo of the Haotian Sect also had connections with Shrek Academy. Why should she fear this unknown stranger?
Slap—
Xiao Lin struck Liu Erlong's face with one palm, then clamped his fingers around her snow-white, slender neck.
"Ugh…"
A bright red handprint appeared on Liu Erlong's cheek, but her eyes remained filled with stubbornness, showing no sign of submission.
"Interesting."
Xiao Lin's lips curled slightly, his gaze growing colder. He had never encountered such a stubborn individual before—what a woman, Liu Erlong.
"What are you doing?"
Yu Xiaogang's kneecap was shattered, and he couldn't muster any soul power. Seeing Xiao Lin slowly undoing his belt, he roared in anger.
"Ugh!"
Liu Erlong's eyes widened. She gripped his wrists tightly, trying to gather a shred of soul power to resist.
"Erlong!"
Flanders, who had crawled out of the abandoned old house in agony, was horrified by the scene. He rushed forward with all his strength but was struck back with a single blow, forced to watch helplessly.
Thud—
Xiao Lin pressed his palm down, forcing Liu Erlong to kneel on the ground.
"Wuwu..."
Liu Erlong glared with wide eyes as her mouth was forced open, compelled to swallow it.
"No!"
Flanders and Yu Xiaogang's eyes widened in fury, their hearts filled with anguish, unable to stop the scene unfolding before them.
The streetlights had been consumed by the black mist and had long since gone out. The bright moonlight cast a clear shadow of a kneeling figure, obscured by a cloaked figure. Her eyes were filled with tears, and she stubbornly clenched her teeth.
