Princess Vina Returns
The next day, Zhou Huan didn't take Zhang Lexuan out shopping again, but stayed at the hotel.
The feedback from the Five-Colored Godhead last night really surprised Zhou Huan.
Who would have thought that the existence of two Godhead Mingdu?
The probability of encountering both Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui at the same time is much higher than encountering two gods.
Although possessing Godhead doesn't necessarily mean being above godhood, Zhou Huan always had to prepare for the worst—what if it really was Deity passing by?
We can only hope that the Floating Pagoda can truly shield us from everything.
Otherwise, otherwise... well, there's nothing he can do.
How could he possibly contend against someone at the god level or above now?
We can only take it one step at a time.
However, because of this incident, Zhou Huan immediately used the Floating Pagoda to seal the Five-Colored Godhead within his Sea of Consciousness.
Logically, it should be able to block other Godhead from sensing the Five-Colored Godhead, because after Zhou Huan used this seal, he also blocked his own senses from other Godhead.
Previously, Zhou Huan believed that there could not be any god-level powerhouses on the Douluo Continent, so he had never sealed the Five-Colored Godhead. Now it seems that he was still careless.
The Gou Character Mantra must be copied three hundred times as punishment.
Fortunately, no one was around last night... well, no gods came knocking, so probably, maybe, perhaps everything is alright.
That's what he thought, but today, Zhou Huan decided to stay in the hotel and spend time with his girlfriend instead of going out.
Hopefully, those two who possessed Godhead were just passing by.
Zhou Huan thought to herself.
At this moment, Zhang Lexuan, who was sitting next to Zhou Huan, found it strange that her boyfriend was spacing out from time to time. He was usually not this well-behaved.
So, Zhang Lexuan waved her hand in front of Zhou Huan several times and said, "What are you thinking about? You've been absent-minded all day."
Zhou Huan immediately took Zhang Lexuan's hand, smiled, and said, "It's nothing, I just feel that there are still too many unknowns in this world."
Zhang Lexuan clearly noticed the worry in Zhou Huan's eyes and said earnestly, "What are you afraid of? We'll face anything together."
Zhou Huan nodded. "Yeah, with Sister Lexuan protecting me, there's really nothing to be afraid of." As he spoke, he hugged the girl next to him again.
Zhang Lexuan leaned on Zhou Huan's shoulder and said, "You can never be serious for more than three seconds."
Just as Zhou Huan was about to retort with "Only scumbags are serious with their girlfriends," there was a sudden knock on the door.
It's the middle of the day, and we've just had lunch. Who would be looking for our Senior Disciple Sister at this hour?
When Zhou Huan opened the door, he saw a familiar, beautiful girl and a pretty young woman he had never seen before.
The beautiful young woman wore a pale yellow long dress, which made her look very elegant.
Upon seeing Zhou Huan, the girl in yellow exclaimed with delight, "Zhou Huan? What are you doing here?"
Zhou Huan pursed his lips and said, "I say, Princess Vina, this is our Shrek suite. What's so strange about me being here? But what about you? Why are you here?"
The girl in the pale yellow dress was clearly Vina, the princess of the Heavenly Soul Empire, whom Zhou Huan had encountered several times.
Princess Vina said, "I came here today to see your Inner Court's Senior Disciple Sister, Zhang Lexuan, Sister Zhang. I didn't expect to see you here too."
Zhou Huan nodded and said, "Please come in, Sister Lexuan is inside."
Princess Vina didn't say much, and walked in with the pretty young girl beside her.
Upon seeing Zhang Lexuan, Vina greeted her warmly, "Sister Zhang, it's been so long!"
In fact, given Zhang Lexuan's previous noble status in the Heavenly Soul Empire, there was no way she would have allowed Vina, a princess, to address her as "sister" so warmly.
But ever since Zhang Lexuan joined Shrek, everything has been completely different.
She not only became the respected Senior Disciple Sister of all the Inner Court disciple, but also the vice dean of the Martial Soul Department, and even her identity as Sea God Pavilion member was unknown to others.
But her apparent high-ranking position at Shrek alone is enough to surpass Vina, the Heavenly Soul Princess.
In response to Vina's enthusiasm, Zhang Lexuan simply nodded and said, "Long time no see, Princess Vina."
Vina completely ignored Zhang Lexuan's indifference and instead introduced the pretty girl beside her, "Her name is Mu Xue, she's my friend, and also one of our team members in this competition."
Clearly, introducing Mu Xue wasn't the main point; Vina just wanted to get to know Zhang Lexuan better and find something to talk about. She had only met Zhang Lexuan twice before.
However, Zhang Lexuan introduced Zhou Huan: "You know him too. This time, Zhou Huan is the captain of our Shrek Team."
Upon hearing this, a flash of shock crossed Vina's eyes. She thought to herself, "In just five years, he's become the captain of the Shrek Team?"
Vina knew perfectly well what this meant.
She had always thought highly of Zhou Huan, but she never expected that Zhou Huan would go so far.
It seems I'll have to work on building a closer relationship with him in the future.
Of course, these thoughts only flashed through Vina's mind for a moment. She quickly came back to her senses, looked at Zhou Huan, and said, "Captain Zhou, congratulations."
Zhou Huan smiled and said, "Keep it down, keep it down. It's because the class monitor and the others went to the Tang Sect. I had no choice but to bite the bullet and go."
Vina naturally couldn't believe such a thing, so Vina said, "Captain Zhou, you're too modest. I clearly remember that back then, Brother Zhou, with the cultivation of Soul Grandmaster, instantly killed a Soul Ancestor and held off a Soul King."
Zhou Huan waved his hand and said, "Hey, a hero doesn't dwell on past glories; it's all in the past."
This time, Vina didn't continue to refute anything, and instead started chatting with Zhang Lexuan.
However, Zhang Lexuan still maintains her seemingly approachable but actually aloof Senior Disciple Sister persona.
Vina completely ignored Zhang Lexuan's perfunctory attitude.
After chatting for about ten more minutes about nothing of substance, Vina finally left with Mu Xue.
At this moment, Zhou Huan grasped Zhang Lexuan's hand and said, "The Body Sect is up to something."
Zhang Lexuan chuckled softly, "Oh? How did you figure that out? Vina didn't mention the Body Sect at all; she was just chatting casually, wasn't she?"
Hearing this, Zhou Huan shrugged and said, "How could a princess like Vina really just come here to chat idly? It's just to build rapport and get to know you. Whatever they want to do in Mingdu, Shrek will be a great asset."
According to Zhou Huan's knowledge, after Xu Tianran besieged Mingdu, Great Emperor the Tian Soul and Star Luo Empire Empires decided to strike at Xu Tianran's base and assassinate him.
Unfortunately, it failed.
It seems that even if Xu Tianran didn't plan to wipe out all the participants, the Body Sect would definitely cause trouble. Didn't they attack Mingde Hall last time?
After hearing Zhou Huan's evaluation of Vina, Zhang Lexuan continued, "That's why I don't like dealing with them; it's too tiring."
Zhou Huan gently patted Zhang Lexuan's hand and teased, "If you're tired, just see them less often in the future. Besides, you still have your boyfriend's broad shoulders to lean on, don't you?"
Zhang Lexuan: "..." You're quite good at finding opportunities.
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Lexuan added, "Huo Yuhao recruited an elite Soul Engineer named Xuan Ziwen from the Mingde Hall, Tang Sect has also established Soul Tool Hall. Vina and the others will probably go to talk business with Huo Yuhao, right?"
Zhou Huan nodded. "Yeah, probably, but it's none of our business. Let them do what they want."
