"You little brat! You're asking for trouble!"
Flender gritted his teeth, his eyes blazing with fury.
If this young man hadn't shown up, he would have at least been able to avoid some responsibility.
"Flender! Do you have anything to say for yourself?"
Wang Luoping's voice pulled Flender back to reality. He lowered his head, glared at Zhou Sidong resentfully, then shook his head weakly, unable to argue.
"In that case, I will follow the city regulations of Soto City. Given that Flender deliberately disrupted market equilibrium by arbitrarily inflating prices, seriously violating the city regulations of Soto City, with the evidence being conclusive, Flender is suspected of price gouging. I now sentence Flender to pay one thousand Gold Soul Coins to the Soto City City Lord's Mansion within fifteen days. If the payment is overdue, a late fee of three percent per day will be added, until it reaches the maximum."
After Wang Luoping finished speaking, he handed the penalty notice directly to Flender, not forgetting to instruct, "Principal Flender, go back and sell everything you own. Think about what will happen if you don't pay?"
After speaking, Wang Luoping signaled everyone to leave, sealing Flender's shop, permanently banning it.
"Considering your contribution this time, this crystal is your reward."
After saying that, Wang Luoping's team departed, and the Martial Soul Hall disciples left with a pile of Flender's belongings.
Zhou Sidong held the crystal in his hand, gaining it without spending a single Gold Soul Coin, and also, by the way, ruined Flender's shop. He got a great bargain.
This Flender was also unlucky, daring to openly use the Martial Soul Hall's banner in Soto City, not knowing what was good for him.
Zhou Sidong was merely going with the flow, seizing the evidence of Flender's crimes.
At the same time, Flender's mouth was twitching, watching the "X" seal on the door, a Martial Soul Hall ban, and a permanent one at that.
This meant he, Flender, had completely lost his foothold in Soto City, and also received a fine of ten thousand Gold Soul Coins, to be paid within fifteen days.
He, Flender, had sold everything he owned, including Shrek Academy, and still couldn't scrape together a thousand Gold Soul Coins.
"That Zhou Sidong is behind all of this!"
Flender immediately thought of Zhou Sidong.
If it weren't for that young man, he, Flender, wouldn't be in this mess. His shops, which he had run for over a decade, were gone, and he was saddled with a ten thousand Gold Soul Coin fine.
You should never owe money to the state.
Soto City belonged to the Heaven Dou Empire and was of great strategic importance.
Ten thousand Gold Soul Coins was a huge sum for Flender. If he couldn't pay it within fifteen days, the fate of Shrek Academy was uncertain.
"Where's that brat! I need to settle the score with him!"
Flender noticed Zhou Sidong immediately but instinctively realized that Zhou Sidong was already gone. Where did he go?
"Kid! Don't let me, Flender, catch you, or you'll be sorry!"
Flender walked away, filled with resentment, and returned to Shrek Academy to figure out how to handle the situation.
Zhou Sidong returned to the hotel at night.
His parents had already fallen asleep.
"Got the crystal, not a loss."
Zhou Sidong stored the crystal in the amethyst hairpin.
Suddenly, a golden light flashed between his eyebrows.
Xiao Xue, who had been asleep for two and a half years, awoke.
"Aaaah~~"
Xiao Xue stretched her delicate body, her figure noticeably more developed than two and a half years ago.
She had three pairs of golden wings on her back, a golden lace crown on her head, and a gold-threaded lace dress. Her face was as delicate as an angel's. Her appearance was basically identical to the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul.
Zhou Sidong had once asked Xiao Xue, "Why do you look exactly like the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul?" Could this be the will of the Douluo Continent? Later, Xiao Xue answered.
Because the will was something ethereal, she had already exhausted all her power to drag Zhou Sidong into this world to reverse the ten-thousand-year timeframe.
All this was thanks to Bibi Dong, because she extracted Qian Xunji's life essence and injected it into Zhou Sidong's body. Therefore, the will hidden within Zhou Sidong absorbed part of Qian Xunji's power, and finally became like Xiao Xue, with the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, and her appearance became this way after absorbing Qian Xunji's life essence.
"I slept so well!"
As soon as she woke up, Xiao Xue playfully winked at Zhou Sidong.
"It's been two and a half years, Dongdong, and you're even more handsome," Xiao Xue said with a smile.
"You flatter me. Two and a half years of slumber, and now you've awakened. What have you gained?" Zhou Sidong asked with a smile.
Before Xiao Xue awakened, she had mentioned that she would awaken a new power this time, which Zhou Sidong was eager to know about.
Xiao Xue smiled, "On the basis of traveling through parallel time and space, and time stop, I now have one more ability: control."
"Control?" Zhou Sidong was puzzled. "What do you mean?"
Xiao Xue said, "It's simple. I am the will of the Douluo Continent and have the right to control any resources on the Douluo Continent. Including everything, like immortal herbs, treasures, and even... Soul Beasts."
"That powerful? Then... what about people?"
Xiao Xue shook her head, looking troubled. "There's a saying, 'man can conquer nature'. Humans, from birth, are destined to be the darlings of the heavens and earth. Some cultivate to level ninety-nine, and after obtaining a god trial, they will break through to level one hundred and eventually become gods. For those like that, they've already surpassed my jurisdiction. Although I am the will of the Douluo Continent, there are some things I can't do."
Zhou Sidong stroked his chin, pondering, "According to you, whether it's immortal herbs, treasures, or even Soul Beasts, they're all under your control. If you tell them to go east, they can't go west."
"Theoretically, that's correct. Of course, some don't choose to submit, then we have to resort to force," Xiao Xue shrugged her shoulders.
In that case, even if Tang San reached the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, without Xiao Xue, the will of the Douluo Continent, acknowledging him, he wouldn't be able to obtain a single immortal herb!
Xiao Xue added, "Soul Beasts are also under my jurisdiction because they can't become gods, which is related to the great war in the God Realm back then. However, this is limited to those within one hundred thousand years, because Soul Beasts that exceed this stage have all experienced heavenly tribulations and are no longer ordinary."
Hearing this, Zhou Sidong sighed inwardly. He was still thinking about going to the ocean to capture the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
"Haha..."
Xiao Xue let out a silver bell-like laugh; she and Zhou Sidong were one, so she naturally understood what Zhou Sidong was thinking.
Then, Xiao Xue suddenly became serious, saying, "There's another crucial point. You are now at Soul Power level forty-eight, with two opportunities to traverse parallel spacetime. You must seize every opportunity. And the most important thing..."
Zhou Sidong remained silent, listening carefully, not missing anything.
"Destiny Nine Trials," Xiao Xue said.
Zhou Sidong was slightly taken aback: "Destiny… Nine Trials? Sounds like a test."
Suddenly, Zhou Sidong's expression changed slightly: "This wouldn't be similar to the Sea God Nine Trials, would it?"
"You could say that, or you could not."
