A strange expression appeared on Yuan Luo's face.

The next second, Dai Mubai was sent flying straight out of the hotel.

A faint golden thread could be seen on his body.

Heh!

Dai Mubai actually dared to provoke him? How could Yuan Luo let that slide without teaching him a lesson?

"Young Master Dai, don't forget the compensation!"

"Pfft!"

Dai Mubai, who had just started to climb back to his feet, fainted on the spot after hearing Yuan Luo's words.

The two Twins carried him away.

"Luo-ge, when did you get so strong?"

Xiao Wu's face was full of envy. They had clearly entered the academy at the same time, so why was Yuan Luo already this powerful?

"Xiao Wu, it's fate. You can't envy it!"

Yuan Luo tilted his head up at a forty-five-degree angle and struck a Dugu Qiubai pose, earning another look of utter disdain from Xiao Wu.

"Hurry up. I don't have anywhere to stay. Since I helped you deal with Dai Mubai, this room is mine!"

He snatched the key from Xiao Wu's hand and quickly moved away from the two of them.

"Luo-ge, how can you do this?"

Xiao Wu looked displeased and tried to grab it back.

But how could Yuan Luo possibly let her?

He kicked the little rabbit right on the butt, sending her straight into Tang San's arms.

Heh! Pretty bouncy.

He even gave Tang San a look that said, You know what I mean.

Xiao Wu climbed out of Tang San's arms with a red face, stamping her feet in anger.

"See you tomorrow!"

With that, Yuan Luo took the key and headed upstairs.

Tang San and Xiao Wu had no choice but to go back out and find another room.

"Uh, Lord Soul Master, you haven't paid yet!"

Before Yuan Luo could step onto the stairs, the person at the front desk hurried over, his waist slightly bent.

Yuan Luo was speechless. I'm not scary. Why are you bowing?

"What money? Didn't I tell you to collect it from that Golden Mane Tiger?"

That was right! He had said that earlier. Why were they coming to him?

"Lord Soul Master, I'm not talking about that. It's the room fee. Those two Soul Masters just now haven't paid yet."

The Waiter spoke softly, afraid of angering Yuan Luo.

Yuan Luo's mouth twitched. Fine, Xiao San had actually skipped out without paying.

"Oh, that. Here."

Just as Yuan Luo was about to hand him some gold coins, a clear female voice rang out.

"I'll pay you double. Give me this room instead."

Turning around, he saw a young girl dressed in luxurious clothes. Her hair fell freely behind her back, her eyes were bright, and her skin was smooth and lustrous. She was like a budding lotus rising from the water, spotless and pure.

This was...

Yuan Luo found her so familiar. Wasn't this Ning Rongrong?

She did look like the little girl from six years ago, and her clothes were quite expensive.

But shouldn't she have had short hair?

"Are you... Ning Rongrong?"

Yuan Luo asked uncertainly. If she really was Ning Rongrong, what was she doing at the Rose Hotel?

Ning Rongrong froze for a moment, then became a little flustered.

She had run away secretly. Now that someone had suddenly recognized her, would he take her back?

"You are?"

"You don't remember me? You even ate my barbecue!"

Yuan Luo broke into a smile. This little girl was quite forgetful. The adorable little rascal was still as cute and mischievous as ever.

"You're Yuan Luo!"

It was as if Ning Rongrong had discovered a new continent. Her eyes lit up as she stared at Yuan Luo and swallowed.

That scared Yuan Luo half to death. Was she planning to eat him?

"I haven't seen you in so long, Little Brother!"

Ning Rongrong's face was full of smiles. She looked as happy as if she had won ten million.

"Mm-hm. Why are you here?"

"I couldn't find anywhere to stay. I searched all around this area, but there wasn't a single vacant place. Everything had been booked."

Yuan Luo nodded. That was true. At this time of year, many students' parents had come to Suotuo City, and nearly every hotel was already occupied.

"Hehe, um... can I stay with you too?"

Ning Rongrong blinked her large eyes, her bright gaze trembling constantly.

Perhaps because she knew Yuan Luo, Ning Rongrong did not feel right asking him to give up the room.

"There's only one bed. If you don't mind, come along."

After saying that, Yuan Luo handed the gold coins to the Waiter and went upstairs on his own.

Ning Rongrong hurried after him. If she did not follow him now, she would be sleeping on the streets tonight.

Entering the room felt like stepping into a sea of flowers, romantic and cozy.

The entire room was filled with a refreshing floral fragrance.

Yuan Luo flopped down hard onto the heart-shaped bed in the bedroom, feeling the warmth and softness it offered.

After riding in a carriage for three months, his body had nearly fallen apart. If he had not gone home to rest for a month, he would not even have wanted to come.

What a pity he did not know how to make anything. Otherwise, he really wanted to build himself a vehicle to drive around.

He looked at Ning Rongrong, who was standing by the bed and seemed somewhat unused to the place.

"You take the bed. I'll sleep on the sofa in the living room."

With that, Yuan Luo left the bedroom.

Ning Rongrong was left standing there in a daze. Then she gave a sweet smile, as warm as a spring breeze.

The next day, the two arrived on a small path in the outskirts.

"Yuan Luo, are you sure it's here?"

Behind him, Ning Rongrong kept muttering, her feet already sore from walking.

Yuan Luo pondered for a moment. "Probably?"

"Luo-ge!" "Luo-ge!"

Just as he was thinking, Tang San and Xiao Wu suddenly appeared.

Xiao Wu looked at Yuan Luo and Ning Rongrong with a scrutinizing gaze.

Tang San also asked curiously, "Luo-ge, is this sister-in-law?"

That made Ning Rongrong blush bright red.

"What are you thinking? Your sister-in-law isn't here!"

Yuan Luo patted Tang San on the head and answered with a smile.

"Huh? There really is one? Who?"

Xiao Wu's gossiping heart immediately flared up, and she could no longer hide the curiosity on her face.

Tang San looked at Yuan Luo curiously as well, as did Ning Rongrong.

The three of them staring at him made Yuan Luo feel a little embarrassed.

"What sister-in-law? Maybe she hasn't even been born yet. Let me introduce you—Tang San, Xiao Wu!"

"Hello, my name is Ning Rongrong!"

Ning Rongrong introduced herself, a little flushed.

"Rongrong, that's what I'll call you from now on."

Xiao Wu was lively and quick to make friends. She immediately hugged Ning Rongrong's arm, and the two looked like close sisters who had known each other for years.

They chatted as they walked.

When they arrived at the small village where Shrek Academy was located, Yuan Luo narrowed his eyes. This place really was poor.

Originally, he had not wanted to come to Shrek Academy, because for some reason, the system's trial and the God of Creation's trial had become similar.

The second Creation Trial: pass through Hell Road within three years.

The system had also given him an achievement: complete the achievement and obtain Divine Slaughter's Domain, with one Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring as a reward.

The first was something Yuan Luo could not avoid, while the second was something he desperately wanted.

In other words, he had to pass through Slaughter City within the next few years.

But Tang San had already been a Soul King when he went to Slaughter City. Yuan Luo was only a Soul Elder. How could he possibly make it through?

Even if he had enough strength, the murderous aura would seep into his heart and leave him unable to control himself.

Although he had obtained a Head Soul Bone, and even a hundred-thousand-year one at that, Yuan Luo still had no confidence at all.

He had to make absolutely certain.

If he really went, he would have to get Tang San to forge some powerful hidden weapons for him. That would at least give his life a little more protection.

"Yuan Luo! Yuan Luo!"

Suddenly, Ning Rongrong waved her fair little hand in front of Yuan Luo.

"What is it?"

"What are you thinking about? Hurry up, we need to go over there. I called you so many times, but you couldn't hear me."

"Huh? I was spacing out. Let's go!"
