First Meeting with Meng Hongchen

"So, you're just going to let it go like that, treating it as a subtraction? Aren't you going to keep it around for a bit of fun?"

Even while talking, Xingbao didn't forget to poke at the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew.

"Looking for fun? What kind of fun could an old geezer like you have?"

Wei Lin pinned Xingbao against the tree with his left hand and lifted her chin with his right index finger.

Star. "!!!"

So close! Her eyes instinctively darted away, and she was even bracing herself for a kiss.

As a result, Wei Lin took a step back and captured her shy expression on camera.

Star. "???"

Xing's expression froze instantly. Had she been... teased?

Then, her face flushed red, and her rather large breasts began to heave violently.

"Fine, fine! I've always been the one teasing others, but today..."

She applied slight pressure with her right hand.

Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew: It's about to break! It's about to break! Stop pinching it!

"You're not getting out of bed tonight!"

"Oh my, who doesn't know that our Xingbao is both terrible at games and loves to play?"

Xing: "!!! I'll fight you to the death!"

She drew her Flaming Lance and charged towards Wei Lin.

"They're just a bunch of kids."

Cyrene sighed and could only silently follow.

Along the way, they didn't rush, but chose to stop and admire the scenery.

"Xing, look at the map, where are we?"

"According to the map, we should have arrived at the border of the Sun Moon Empire."

"We've practically gone abroad, haven't we?"

After thinking for a moment, Wei Lin was 90% certain that he had taken the wrong path. Now that things had come to this, he should find a place to eat first.

This is a small border town of the Sun Moon Empire. It's not very developed, but it's still much better than the Heavenly Soul Empire.

(Vina:... You don't have to be so blunt!)

"Rin, there's a beautiful girl over there."

Where? Where?

Wei Lin quickly looked in that direction, completely ignoring the slight change in the expressions of the people around him.

What a joke! Who am I Wei Lin? The only king of Tianshu! How could I possibly be controlled by you women!

"Wow~ A beautiful white-haired girl."

The girl was wearing a white school uniform with the logo of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy on it.

With the white-haired man standing beside him as a foil, the other party's identity was already quite obvious.

Because Wei Lin's gaze was undisguised, Meng Hongchen also felt this gaze, which clearly carried a sense of being watched.

She was just about to turn her head away to vent her anger when she met Wei Lin's gaze.

"Thump~ Thump~"

Wei Lin smiled slightly, raised his glass of juice, and offered it a small toast as a way of expressing his apology for staring at him.

"Sis, what's wrong? Your heart is beating so fast."

"Brother, I think I'm in love."

Xiao Hongchen:???

What are you talking about?

Before he could say a word, he saw his younger sister walk over as if she were bewitched.

"Um... sir, may I ask if I can get to know you? My name is Meng Hongchen, and I'm a student at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy."

Xing lightly nudged Wei Lin with her elbow.

"Oh, it's delivered right to my doorstep, Rin, you're in luck."

Wei Lin remained silent, but instead slapped Xing across the face, a move Xing loved to enjoy.

"Smack!"

It sounds like a good start.

"My name is Wei Lin, and I'm just an ordinary teacher. These are my colleagues. If you don't mind, you can sit down and have something to eat with us as an apology for my rudeness earlier."

"Thank you very much."

Meng Hongchen sat down with impeccable manners, leaving her teammates to their own devices.

Xiao Hongchen: My nose feels red. (Clown)

After a brief exchange, Wei Lin understood why he had been able to meet Meng Hongchen and the others here.

This is the border between the Sun Moon Empire and the Star Luo Empire.

The Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament is currently underway, and they are the participants. However, there is still some time before the start of the tournament, so they plan to train hard in the surrounding area.

As a border region, this place was already quite chaotic. If the Holy Light Knights hadn't wiped out the Evil Soul Master who had been entrenched here, nine out of ten of the surrounding villages would be empty.

Unfortunately, the Holy Light Knights only eliminated the Evil Soul Master.

"There have been a lot of half- Soul Beast like Wolf Bandits around here lately. We're just sitting around doing nothing anyway, so why don't we go and do something to help the people?"

A flicker of emotion crossed Wei Lin's eyes; this little guy actually has a kind heart.

This was actually influenced by the Tianshu, after all, the Tianshu was originally on the side of the common people. Only when those in high positions looked down could they discover those deep-seated problems.

"Have a safe journey. Before you leave, it's best to buy a Tianshu distress signal. In case of unexpected situations, it can save your life."

Thanks for reminding me.

Meng Hongchen's face was flushed. He was concerned about me. Did he like me too?

(Wei Lin:???)

After finishing my meal, I bid farewell to Meng Hongchen and the others.

"By the way, we might be rivals in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hongchen's smile vanished.

An opponent? That means the opponent could be someone from a sect or empire, it can't possibly be someone from Shrek.

Meng Hongchen didn't notice the change in her brother's expression. Only one sentence remained in her mind: she might see him again at the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament.

"Very nice."

Xiao Hongchen:??? My sister is hopeless!

As soon as they left the restaurant, Xing couldn't wait to hug Wei Lin.

"Old Wei, don't you want to add her to your harem? A beautiful white-haired girl! Aren't you tempted?"

Wei Lin still gave her two big challenges.

"Is it that Empress Dowager Jing isn't appealing anymore, or that Clara isn't cute enough?"

"Huh~ I didn't expect Old Wei to be a perverted lolicon~ Drag him out and give him a good shock!"

Ying also cooperated by gathering electricity.

"Old Wei, do you prefer alternating current or direct current? Or would you like both?"

Wei Lin gave a wicked smile and kissed Ying directly.

Fluorescent:!!!

She was stunned for a moment, and the next second, she transformed into a steam princess.

"You think you can fight me? You're 20,000 years too early."

"A-Lin!"

Wei Lin burst into laughter. Without the pressure, he really had no expectations left. After all, he was already invincible in this world.

Just as he was still refraining from doing anything malicious, the clock in the city center rang.

"Is this part of a siege?"

Although it's just a small town, that doesn't mean it doesn't have city walls.

"Let's go take a look."

As soon as they reached the airspace above the city wall, they saw, in the dark light of the horizon, a series of wild beasts with half-human features charging towards them.

These are Wolf Bandits, a group of creatures that only know how to plunder.

Even the Soul Beast Clan doesn't acknowledge their identity.

"Fire!"

The defensive Soul Cannon on the city wall opened fire simultaneously, instantly tearing apart the Wolf Bandits' vanguard.

"How could there be so many Wolf Bandits here?"

Putting aside the fact that these beasts have no sense of community, at most a hundred or two could form a small tribe, but now? The Wolf Bandits in front of us must number in the tens of thousands.

"Rin, have you sensed any unusual energy fluctuations?"

The Xilian pointed to the dim sky, where a dark red lightning bolt was gathering in the clouds.

It's quite obvious; someone is pulling strings behind the scenes.

"This really cracked me up. They never learn their lesson, do they? I reckon someone's got their eye on our little chosen one again."

In the past, he could use Evil Soul Master as subordinates, but since the Holy Light Knights were formed, Evil Soul Master have almost become extinct across the entire continent.

Moreover, he sensed that his father was completely finished, not even a speck of dust remained.

This also made him completely unable to trust "Douluo Continent".

"Should we intervene? This small town doesn't have many shells left."

"You guys are itching to go, aren't you? Go if you want."

"Alright!"

Xing and Ying rushed out immediately.

They cleared the place out in no time.

"That's all for today!"

The ground outside the city gates was littered with the corpses of Wolf Bandits. Perhaps due to the siege, there were not many shops left in the area. In the end, Wei Lin could only "reluctantly" book two fewer private rooms.

Ying: "(=①ω①=)"
