Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament

The exclusive area on the top floor of the Starlight Auction House was a VIP passage specially opened by Xu Jiawei for Wei Lin, giving Wei Lin the highest level of treatment.

"Your Highness, are you satisfied with this private room?"

If Wei Lin had arrived later, Xu Jiujiu might not have been able to finish cleaning the top floor before he arrived.

The reason is simple: the White Tiger Duke's Mansion was razed to the ground.

It is said that a masked man fired a level-six fixed-position Soul Cannon at the White Tiger Duke's Mansion. Moreover, before leaving, he wrote "Jing Hongchen of the Sun Moon Empire was here."

Xu Jiujiu glanced at Wei Lin furtively, her lips twitching uncontrollably. What kind of kind person would blow up his ancestral grave and still leave their name behind?

However, it is clear who in the Star Luo Empire has offended this wicked star.

No wonder he almost sterilized White Tiger Duke for free back in the Ming Dou Mountain Range.

(Jing Hongchen: Strange, am I really getting old? Why does my back feel heavier and heavier?)

"I'm quite satisfied."

Wei Lin sat in the leather seat, Himeko sat to his right, and Xu Jiujiu to his left.

As for Xing... he ran out while Wei Lin was talking to Xu Jiujiu, and I guess he's probably exploring the trash cans right now.

Star: Hehehe! New map, new environment! New trash cans! My little darlings~ Get ready to receive your king's favor!

"These must be the chosen ones of Shrek and Tianshu."

"Your Highness is too kind."

Huo Yutong and the others didn't really like Xu Jiujiu. The reason was simple: this guy was just a third wheel. They had been fantasizing about some "interesting" things happening during the auction, but now that he was here, they all had to sit up straight, which ruined the fun.

"This is the auction list. I wonder if His Highness Wei Lin has any items he likes?"

Wei Lin picked up the list in his hand and placed his finger on the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife. This time, however, there were no Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Embryo.

When Huo Yutong went to the Far North, Wei Lin asked Xue Xi to take care of her. With her help, Yutong's Second Martial Soul became the Ice God Body, which allows her to imprint various ice-attribute Martial Soul at any time.

The Ice Empress and Snow Empress of this era also joined Little Yutong's large family.

I reckon she's probably playing mahjong in her Sea of Consciousness right now.

Huo Yutong's Sea of Consciousness.

Tian Meng, Ice Empress, Snow Empress, and Electrolux were gathered around a mahjong table, pounding the tiles with a loud thud.

Snow Empress: Who invented this thing anyway? Boom!

Ice Empress: I don't know, he's a complete genius! Eat!

Tian Meng: By the way, we've been playing mahjong the whole time and haven't paid any attention to Little Yutong? Mwah~

Electrolux: She's all grown up, Hu! A perfect flush!

Huo Yutong:... It's so noisy! Block it out! Block it out!

Wei Lin's goal was to obtain this carving knife; he could never have too much of things like the Gold of Life.

Three million Gold Soul Coin.

A moment later, the carving knife was in his hands.

"Yutong, this is for you."

Huo Yutong sensed it for a moment and immediately knew what material the carving knife was made of; she had used quite a bit of the Gold of Life her brother had given her.

The subsequent auction consisted of some common items, and Wei Lin didn't continue bidding, only casually playing with "Little Wuling."

The two were about to part ways after the auction ended.

"Your Highness Wei Lin, I've always been very curious about the nature of Tianshu's power."

Xu Jiujiu, curiosity was practically bursting from his eyes.

What is its nature?

Wei Lin thought for a moment, then pointed to the starry sky.

"We're just wandering around the cosmic street. We're curious about the unknown, so we want to see what it's like, that's all."

Wei Lin waved goodbye, bidding farewell to Xu Jiujiu.

"Is that all? What a... weirdo."

Wei Lin was just about to part ways with the others when he suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, Aglaea's hot spring has opened. Want to go for a soak together?"

Upon hearing this, the girls' eyes lit up. A bath? Mixed bathing? Such a good thing?

I completely forgot that I had just taken a shower.

"That young girl just finished showering, aren't you afraid of scrubbing her skin raw?"

Himeko's words silenced the girls' expectant gazes. "Ah! We can actually wash it again."

"That's true, then next time, go home and go to sleep early~"

Wei Lin ignored Tang Wuling's cute expression and turned to leave without looking back.

Tianshu Tower, Cloud Pool Heavenly Palace.

Wei Lin placed a warm towel on his head.

"Ah~ this feeling is so enjoyable."

"Right? This carefree life is the best."

Himeko, wrapped in a yukata, slowly sank into the hot spring.

"I have to say, Aglaea really loves taking baths."

A delicate hand picked up a grape and handed it to Wei Lin.

"Didn't you already know that?"

The blonde woman lay on the edge of the bathtub, enjoying a moment of peace.

There's no need to worry about the arrival of the Black Tide, nor to ponder the divine oracle for salvation.

It's so good to live the simplest of lives.

"They're all back, aren't they? At least in this story, there are no regrets, only the best tomorrow."

Aglaea gazed at him with a dreamy look in her eyes.

It seems like I can never get enough of looking at it.

"Himeko La Signora, are you hungry?"

Himeko was taken aback for a moment, then realized what was happening, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

"I'm a little hungry, how about we order some more food?"

"Hungry? I have some fruit here, what would you like to eat?"

Before Wei Lin could react, he casually picked up a peach and handed it over.

Just then, a pair of small hands gently covered his eyes.

Guess who I am?

"Teacher Tribbie, right?"

Wei Lin looked back and, sure enough, there were three thousand "Teacher Tribbie".

Wait, three thousand?

Shouldn't it be Big Tribbie?

"Teacher Tribbie, why are you cracked again?"

Upon hearing this, Tribbie's face immediately showed a sad expression.

"Little Lin, have you forgotten? You handed the department store over to me. How could I possibly manage it all if I didn't split it up like this?"

Wei Lin:... Okay, it seems I really have forgotten.

"I'm sorry, Tribbie, is there any gift you'd like? I'll go and get it for you."

Yes, yes, that is...

A blush crept onto Tribbie's face.

Danger!!!

This... can't be right!

Wei Lin suddenly took a step back, and Himeko and Aglaea had already arrived behind him.

Wei Lin: We're doomed, Teacher Tribbie, at least... close it.

Tribbie: Hehe~~~

The next day, the semi-finals of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament began.

On the platform, Wei Lin leaned against it listlessly.

Himeko and Aglaea sat on either side of Wei Lin, while Tribbie sat in his lap, her short legs barely touching the ground.

Xu Jiujiu, his eyes lit up.

Could it be... that His Highness Wei Lin is actually a lolicon?!

At this point, the list of players for the semi-finals was also released.

Tianshu Team: Captain: Xu Qingfeng, Vice Captain: Tang Wuling.

Shrek Academy: Captain: Huo Yutong, Vice Captain: Ma Xiaotao.

Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy: Captain: Ma Rulong.

Star Luo Royal Academy: Captain: Xu Jiujiu.

"Princess Jiujiu, you have quite a few identities."

"There's no other way. My Star Luo Empire doesn't have as many little geniuses as your Tianshu. I have to take on multiple roles."

Xu Jiujiu taking a deep breath, she realized she had no intention of winning the championship. The young prodigies of Shrek Academy were already far ahead of the current generation of Tianshu. If they really fought, it would be pure torture.

Of course, it's unclear what the people on the Sun Moon Empire's side are thinking. Hopefully, they can hold out for a while.

"Your Highness Wei Lin, would you like to say a few words?"

Xu Jiawei handed the microphone to Wei Lin.

"Then I'll just say a few words."

Wei Lin took the microphone and looked at the remaining four teams.

"Everyone, my name is Wei Lin, and I belong to Tianshu. This is our first time participating in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament, and it also marks our official comeback. In a competition, friendship comes first, competition second. I will also give a small reward to the final winner, so let's do our best, kids."
