So Bad Yet Loves to Play!

The scene shifted to the Soul Arena.

Neuvillette had no idea what had happened to the Shrek group. After the soul battle ended, he took stock of today's gains.

In terms of cultivation speed, today's gains were equivalent to half a month of his usual cultivation!

After all, he was different from ordinary soul masters. Not only could he cultivate on his own, but he also had buffs.

It had truly been a fruitful day!

"Little Neuvillette, how did it feel being a referee? I heard you really showed off today!"

At that moment, Dou Dou entered Neuvillette's room and said with a smile.

She had been worried that Neuvillette might not be used to it. Who would have thought he would not only show off, but also add a new rule.

The Soul Arena acknowledged that rule, but did not recommend it, because the audience loved watching people throw around taunts.

Only when Neuvillette himself took the field as referee would that rule officially take effect.

"Sister Dou Dou? Please, have a seat!"

When Neuvillette saw who it was, he snapped out of his thoughts and said.

"It was not that I insisted on showing off. If I had not stopped him, contestant Tang San would definitely have killed those two. Those were two lives."

"They had already surrendered, so naturally I could not allow contestant Tang San to commit murder."

"If they died, many contestants would also question the Soul Arena's fairness."

After Dou Dou sat down, she smiled helplessly upon hearing those words.

The Soul Arena was indeed fairly impartial, but when a contestant's win rate became too high, it would secretly make things harder for them in order to protect the Soul Arena's interests.

Dou Dou had known that for a long time after spending so many years in the Soul Arena.

Besides, the Soul Arena was their family business...

"Big Sister didn't come here to hold you accountable. You're so strong, so why have you never competed during the family juniors' matches?"

Dou Dou asked curiously. The Eight Great Families were truly united as one, with no distinction between them.

Whenever they gathered from time to time, the younger generation would hold soul battles for entertainment.

Yet Neuvillette had never taken the field. If he had not acted today, no one would have known what level he was at even now.

Neuvillette: Has it ever occurred to you that I never took the field because I'm too strong?

"Well, I'm not particularly interested in fighting."

Neuvillette said without batting an eye.

Dou Dou's eye twitched at that. Right, he was not interested in fighting, yet he casually leaped dozens of meters into the air and smashed someone unconscious.

If he were interested in fighting, he would probably fly into the sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun!

At such a young age, Neuvillette had already reached the level of a Soul Elder. He truly deserved to be called a monstrous genius with Innate Full Soul Power.

Though the Eight Great Families were wealthy and influential, they had never produced a genius with Innate Full Soul Power.

Neuvillette had broken new ground.

However, no one knew that Neuvillette's Innate Soul Power was not level ten, but level twenty!

"Little Neuvillette, get some rest first. You've been busy all day. Don't host any soul battles tomorrow for now—take the day off."

Neuvillette was stunned when he heard that. Why was she suddenly telling him to rest?

He was not tired at all. What was there to rest for?

Neuvillette was indeed not tired, but the Soul Arena staff had been exhausted!

Because of him, there had been far too many spectators and contestants today!

A few hosts could barely even speak anymore. One could imagine how much pressure they had been under!

Painful, yet joyful!

The more people there were, the more the Soul Arena earned, and the higher their pay became. But who could endure this every day?

There was no helping it. Dou Dou was the one most familiar with Neuvillette, so everyone asked her to make sure Neuvillette did not take the field tomorrow, so they could all get a little rest.

After hearing Dou Dou's explanation, Neuvillette's eye twitched repeatedly. He relied on his overwhelming strength and did not need to say much, so naturally he was not tired.

But the other staff members could not take it.

There was nothing to be done about that!

"Alright, then I'll take tomorrow off."

The higher the profits, the better, but everyone simply could not handle such profits!

"These are twenty thousand Gold Soul Coins. Consider them your reward and dividend for using your reputation to draw customers tonight."

Dou Dou knew Neuvillette did not lack money, but he still had to be paid what he was owed. Otherwise, even if Neuvillette had no objections, the other employees would.

Neuvillette was stunned. So the reason there had been so many people tonight was because the Soul Arena had used him for publicity!

Well, that was a path he had never imagined!

The Soul Arena certainly had business sense. It had swallowed this wave of benefits whole.

Neuvillette did not act modestly either. Twenty thousand Gold Soul Coins was not much, but it was what he deserved.

After accepting the gold card, Neuvillette said, "Thank you, Sister Dou Dou, for bringing it over."

"No need to thank me. You earned it. Get some rest early, Little Neuvillette. Big Sister is exhausted today too."

Dou Dou waved her hand, tossed Neuvillette a seductive glance, then turned and headed out of the room.

She had teased Neuvillette like this years ago.

And honestly, it was quite amusing.

Neuvillette: Have you ever considered the feelings of the person involved?

He was too embarrassed to expose Dou Dou. Was she really teasing him? She was clearly lusting after his body...

"Pfft~ Little Neuvillette, your sister from another father and mother teased you again!"

Suddenly, Focalors's laughter sounded in his mind, making Neuvillette frown. This short-lived wife of his was truly mischievous!

Once she regained human form, he would definitely get his revenge properly!

Neuvillette subconsciously said in his mind, "Focalors, that's enough! Once you..."

Before Neuvillette could finish, Focalors panicked. All sorts of images of how Neuvillette might bully her flashed through her mind, and she hurriedly said, "You... fine, I-I won't tease you anymore!"

"Hmph, too late."

The corners of Neuvillette's lips curved up slightly, his eyes filled with determination.

A mere Focalors—wouldn't suppressing her be effortless?

Oh no, Neuvillette has gone bad!

Focalors thought to herself. At some point, she had grown accustomed to this feeling, and even felt faintly delighted.

In other words, she was bad at it, yet loved to play!

She had gained a few more traits belonging to her human side—the kind of personality Furina had.

After becoming a god, she had separated her humanity from her divinity. Her human side became Furina, while her divine side became Focalors.

The one who died was only Focalors; it had little to do with Furina.

After Focalors reassembled and spent these years alongside Neuvillette, she had gradually regained some of her human side.

Like Furina, she was the sort who was bad at it yet loved to play, with countless thoughts running through her mind.

After all, Furina had originally been Focalors's human side. It was only natural that after recovering a bit of humanity, she would share some of Furina's personality...
