Douluo: Fiery Chains of the Soul, Sealing the Gods

Hao Te laughed heartily. "We'll set out for the Frozen Forest tomorrow. Get a good night's rest tonight!"

After returning to his room, Su Han began cultivating in earnest.

However, after reaching the Soul Ancestor realm, his cultivation speed had clearly slowed. Raising his level by two and a half ranks within a year was already the limit.

Even with his innate Level 8 Soul Power and medicinal assistance, he deeply felt the difficulty of the path of cultivation.

At that moment, he truly understood why Tang Hao had achieved the glory of becoming a Titled Douluo at the age of forty-four.

It was a realm that could only possibly be reached with at least three Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones.

Otherwise, even if Tang Hao had been given another five years, he might not have achieved such success.

After all, three soul bones could provide at least ten levels of improvement.

Early the next morning, the four of them rose at dawn and set out for the Frozen Forest. After twenty arduous days of travel, they finally arrived at Skywater City.

This city, less than a hundred li from the Frozen Forest, was not only their stopover point but also home to Skywater Academy, one of the Five Elemental Academies.

The group strolled through the bustling streets of Skywater Academy, while Hao Te moved through the crowds in search of inns willing to cooperate and other potential allies.

Li Jie sighed. "Skywater City truly has beauties everywhere!" With that, he winked at Zhao Gang, conveying an unspoken understanding.

Zhao Gang cleared his throat and chimed in, "Yeah, us brothers really haven't relaxed in a long time. Shouldn't we..."

Su Han naturally saw through their thoughts and suggested, "How about we go together?"

After all, despite having lived two lives, Su Han had never indulged in worldly pleasures. He wanted to experience the joys of romance for himself.

Suddenly, the images of Dai Mubai's pair of beautiful twin sisters surfaced in his mind, and he could not help clicking his tongue in amazement.

As for beautiful women, everyone praised Diao Chan's beauty, yet in the eyes of powerful figures such as Wang Yun and Dong Zhuo, she was merely ordinary.

Why was that?

The upper class had long been numbed by countless beauties. Only someone fresh and unconventional could stir their interest a little, and even then, it was no more than a passing fancy.

Li Jie teased him. "Little Han, looks like you're no innocent either! At such a young age, you've already learned to visit pleasure houses and listen to music."

Su Han burst into laughter. "I'm only doing what every man in the world would do. What's wrong with that?"

Zhao Gang clapped in approval. "Good! Today, us brothers will relax properly."

Just as Su Han said this, their conversation happened to be overheard by two men and a woman passing beside them.

One of the men was tall and thin, with silver hair and a mask covering his face. The other had yellow hair draped over his shoulders and wore red robes.

The woman had cascading red hair, an oval face, large sparkling eyes, and delicate cherry-red lips. Her red qipao outlined her graceful curves.

She glanced at the white-haired man and the yellow-haired man. Both shook their heads, indicating that they had never been to such places.

The woman gave a soft snort, and the three quickly departed.

Only then did Su Han realize that the three were Huo Wu and Huo Wu, the siblings, along with that super simp Feng Xiaotian.

Su Han could not help feeling puzzled. Why had these three fellow students all appeared in Skywater City without prior arrangement?

Although they were all within the Heaven Dou Empire, their respective academies were far apart, separated by more than a hundred li.

While Su Han was lost in thought, Li Jie lightly draped an arm over his shoulder, interrupting him. "Come on, Little Han. What are you spacing out for?"

Zhao Gang teased from the side, "Could it be that you're still thinking about that beauty who just passed by?

"Little Han, stop daydreaming.

"She's obviously from some distinguished family. How could ordinary people like us ever reach her?"

Once Su Han's stubborn streak was provoked, it became as uncontrollable as a wild horse breaking free of its reins. "What do you mean, out of my league? Do you two believe that, with my methods, winning over that woman would be as easy as flipping my hand?

"And I could make her devoted to me for life, never wavering."

Li Jie smiled. "I believe it. With Little Han's talent and intelligence, wouldn't conquering her in the future be easy?"

Zhao Gang disagreed. "Not necessarily.

"That girl looks like a fiery one. Little Han, if you can really marry her, I'll acknowledge you as my big brother for the rest of my life and follow all your arrangements."

Su Han's face darkened. "You'd better remember what you said today. Don't regret it later."

Seeing this, Li Jie hurriedly smoothed things over. "All right, all right. We're brothers. Don't hurt our friendship over something so trivial.

"We still have business to take care of."

Afterward, the three arrived at a bustling pleasure house.

The madam warmly greeted them as soon as she saw them. "Three honored gentlemen, your presence brings great honor to the Golden Phoenix Tower.

"What kind of girls do you gentlemen like? I have everything here. I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

Li Jie waved his hand grandly. "Bring out all the girls you have. Let me take my pick."

Before long, a group of young women filed in, more than a dozen in all.

Each one had a shapely figure and alluring curves, making it difficult to look away.

Since this was Su Han's first time in such a place, he could not help swallowing at the sight.

Zhao Gang immediately took a liking to the woman in yellow standing in the middle. "That girl, come here. I want you."

The woman beamed and sat beside Zhao Gang, attentively pouring his wine and serving him food.

Li Jie also chose a woman in pink. The two exchanged smiles as though they understood each other without words.

Meanwhile, Su Han immediately set his eyes on the twin sisters.

Seeing this, the madam grinned from ear to ear. "This gentleman truly is fortunate. These twin sisters are new arrivals who only came yesterday."

When Su Han heard that, he thought, I actually came across such good luck.

He beckoned to the two sisters, and they obediently sat beside him, serving him food and pouring him wine.

Su Han finally let himself go. With one girl in each arm, he enjoyed this rare moment of pleasure.

After several rounds of wine and a full meal, the three each took their chosen girls toward the inn.

Unfortunately, only two rooms remained at the inn.

Left with no choice, Su Han took the twin sisters to the inn next door.

When they entered the inn, they happened to run into the Huo Wu siblings and the simp Feng Xiaotian.

The three stared at Su Han with glacially cold eyes.

But Su Han did not care in the slightest. The three of you trash wouldn't be enough even if you came at me together.

After booking a room, Su Han went upstairs with his arms around the twin sisters.

A disdainful curve appeared on Huo Wu's lips as she said coldly, "At such a young age, he's already addicted to drinking and women. His body will be hollowed out by wine and lust. Men truly are all pigs."

Feng Xiaotian looked aggrieved, almost on the verge of tears. "Sister Huo Wu, I swear, I, Feng Xiaotian, am absolutely not that kind of person! Don't think of me as someone so depraved!"

Huo Wu also hurriedly defended himself. "Sis, would your brother really be that kind of person? You can't condemn everyone with one stroke!"

Huo Wu snorted coldly. "You two aren't much better. Forget it, I can't be bothered to argue with you."

With that, she flicked her sleeve and left, heading straight upstairs to her room.

Feng Xiaotian looked dejected. The little bit of goodwill he had finally accumulated before Sister Huo Wu had all been ruined by that brat.

He gritted his teeth. "Brother Wu, why don't we teach that brat a lesson?"

Huo Wu shook his head. "Forget it. He didn't provoke you, so why are you looking for trouble with him?

"If you want to go, go yourself. I'm not going."

Feng Xiaotian secretly swore that he would find a chance to teach that brat a proper lesson someday.

The next morning, Su Han slowly sat up in bed and sighed. "This kind of carefree life is truly intoxicating!

"How wonderful it would be if every day could be like this!"

When the two sisters heard that, a flash of hope appeared in their eyes. They said sweetly, "If Young Master is willing to buy us, then we will definitely serve Young Master with all our hearts from now on."

Su Han gently shook his head. "If I were an ordinary person, I would surely be content with the present and enjoy this brief peace."

As he spoke, he casually tossed out a Gold Soul Coin card. The denomination on it was an astonishing ten thousand.

"They say a spring night is worth a thousand gold. Twins are worth ten thousand gold!"

The two sisters looked at the Gold Soul Coin card, then gave Su Han complicated looks. They had not expected him to be so wealthy.

Su Han said nothing more and walked straight out of the inn.
