The southeastern coastal region of the Star Luo Empire is the farthest point from the Great Emperor Tian Soul, Dou Ling Empire, and Sun Moon.

To this day, the wars between empires have not reached this area.

Therefore, this coastal area is extremely prosperous in terms of economy, culture, and entertainment.

Falling Shore City is the most prosperous city in this coastal region, without exception.

At this moment, in an old house of nearly 1,000 square meters in Falling Shore City, Wang Qingya sat blankly in an antique pavilion, looking at the colorful flower beds with some boredom.

At this moment, a girl with Baozi face, dressed in classical and elegant clothes and looking to be only in her early twenties, slowly walked up to Wang Qingya, gently patted her head, and said softly, "Ya'er, what's wrong? You seem a little unhappy after coming back from your holiday. Can you tell your mother?"

This woman was none other than Wang Qingya's mother, Ling Suzhen.

Judging solely by appearance, 100% of people would assume she is Wang Qingya's older sister.

However, this also proves that Wang Qingya is definitely her biological daughter.

"Mother, I'm fine," Wang Qingya replied.

Unlike most children who call their parents "Dad" and "Mom," Wang Qingya in the Wang Family usually calls them "Daddy" and "Mommy."

In the past, when she referred to her parents in this way when she was out in public, it always aroused a lot of curiosity. So, to avoid the hassle of explaining, she simply followed the crowd and used the words "Dad and Mom" when talking about her parents to outsiders.

But at home, Wang Qingya still prefers to call them "Daddy" and "Mommy," the names she's used to call them since she was little.

Seeing Wang Qingya's feigned ease, how could Ling Suzhen, as her mother, not see through her daughter's forced smile? So she pretended to look dejected. "Ya'er has grown up. She doesn't like to confide in her mother anymore. Mother is sad, boohoo~"

"Pfft~" Wang Qingya couldn't help but burst out laughing.

There's no way around it; having such a dramatic and lively mother means that whenever she's feeling down, her mother always manages to cheer her up.

Ling Suzhen smiled and said, "If you're smiling, then everything's alright. Now, can you tell your mother why you're unhappy? Did someone bully Ya'er at the academy? If so, tell your mother, and she'll help you get revenge."

Wang Qingya quickly shook her head. "Everyone is too busy cultivating to think about how to bully Ya'er."

"Why is Ya'er so sullen? Could it be that she's fallen for some rascal? And he doesn't like you? Is it a love triangle?" Ling Suzhen sat down next to Wang Qingya and asked curiously.

Hearing this, Wang Qingya rolled her eyes speechlessly. "Mom, you have such a good imagination, it's a pity you don't go into writing books."

After a pause, Wang Qingya continued, "I'm just cultivating rather slowly, and my Soul Power Level is falling behind my classmates, so I'm a little anxious."

Ling Suzhen held Wang Qingya's small hand affectionately and said, "My Little Ya'er is only fourteen years old this year, and she's already a level thirty-three Soul Elder. How is her cultivation slow? Isn't it true that you can graduate from the Shrek Outer Court as Soul Ancestor? There are still three years left, and Ya'er will definitely graduate smoothly."

After hearing this, Wang Qingya gave a wry smile, "Mother, what worries me is not graduating from the Outer Court, but that with my cultivation speed, I most likely won't be able to enter the Inner Court."

However, Ling Suzhen didn't care about that at all. "What's so great about entering Shrek Inner Court? After Ya'er graduates from the Outer Court, she should come home. Mother doesn't want to only see you for a month every year."

"What are you going home for? To inherit the family business?" Wang Qingya suddenly smiled mischievously. "Then wouldn't I become the richest person among all my classmates? Hehe."

"Bang!"

Ling Suzhen gently tapped Wang Qingya's smooth forehead. "Inheriting what family business? Your parents are still young."

Just then, a handsome man dressed in a chef's uniform and hat walked into the pavilion carrying a plate of exquisite pastries. He chuckled and said, "What's up? Little Ya'er, are you going to inherit my business? That's great! Today, I'll show you a couple of my skills..."

The visitor was Wang Qingya's father, Wang Tizhou.

Before Wang Tizhou could finish speaking, Wang Qingya snatched several pieces of pastry from her father's hand and ran off. Her voice drifted back from afar. "Father, leave your culinary career to someone destined for it. Ya'er is going back to her room to cultivate."

In an instant, only a young couple remained in the pavilion, staring at each other in bewilderment.

Ling Suzhen glared at Wang Tizhou, annoyed. "Look at you, you've scared Ya'er away again. She's never liked going near the kitchen since she was little. You still want to teach her cooking? That's impossible for her in this lifetime."

Wang Tizhou sighed helplessly. His daughter hadn't inherited his passion for cooking, so he could only say, "My little darling isn't very sweet. How about we practice another one?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Suzhen's cheeks quickly turned red. "You shameless old man, you're getting more and more brazen, daring to say anything like that in broad daylight."

Wang Tizhou didn't seem to care at all. "What's there to be embarrassed about? We've been married for so many years."

"Shut up." Ling Suzhen clearly didn't want to discuss this topic anymore, and instead said, "Ya'er has been sullen these past few days since she came back. She feels that her cultivation is too slow and she can't keep up with her classmates. You, as her father, don't even care about her."

"Well... how could a grown man like me possibly understand a woman's thoughts? But with you here, my wife, I absolutely trust you," Wang Tizhou said with a simple smile.

"..." Ling Suzhen, "How about we let Ya'er absorb a Soul Bone so her Soul Power can increase a bit, and she won't be unhappy."

However, Wang Tizhou immediately shook his head after hearing this and said, "No rush. Given Ya'er's current condition, she can only absorb Soul Bone of about ten thousand years at most. It's simply a waste of the Soul Bone slot and not worth it."

Ling Suzhen thought for a moment, then said, "Then let's go and get an Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid?"

Wang Tizhou hesitated for a moment. "Forget it, that place... it's better not to go. Madam, please don't worry, Ya'er is different after all, there's no need to rush. For Ya'er now, this may not be a bad thing, it's a test of her mindset, and it's better for her growth. We haven't given her too many Gold Soul Coin, isn't that because we wanted her to grow up like an ordinary person?"

Hearing this, Ling Suzhen finally nodded, but still glanced at her husband. "You call our family an ordinary family? How can we be? I've told you before not to make so much money, but you wouldn't listen."

At this moment, Wang Qingya, who had already returned to her room and continued to immerse herself in cultivation, was of course unaware of her parents' discussion about how she had grown up.

She always thought her family was just an ordinary wealthy family, the kind that was so poor they only had money left, but unfortunately she had no way to control the family's money.

She once asked her parents if they could buy a Soul Bone since the family was so wealthy, but they told her that Soul Bone were too conspicuous and that ordinary rich people like them couldn't keep them.

Moreover, good Soul Bone are not so easy to buy. As for those low-quality Soul Bone, she is still young, and it would be a waste of her Soul Bone slot to absorb them.

So she believed it.

Therefore, you can only work hard and cultivate diligently, young lady!

That's how Wang Qingya encouraged herself. She was already way ahead of her best friend Xiao Xiao, a full eight levels behind her now.

So, Wang Qingya began to treat this holiday as if she were at the academy, solely to catch up with her little pet's absurdly fast cultivation speed...

At the same time, in Grace Hill City, only three hundred miles from Shrek Academy in the eastern part of the Heavenly Soul Empire, Xiao Residence Wang Qingya's best friend, Xiao Xiao, was also working hard to become the Scroll King.

Xiao Xiao's boudoir was filled with pink, giving off a completely girlish and lolita vibe. The scene of her sitting there felt incredibly harmonious.

"Clap clap clap!"

There was a knock on the door, and a gentle voice came from outside. "Xiao Xiao, it's time to eat."

Xiao Xiao opened her eyes, got out of bed, and skipped over to open the door. "Mom."

Xiao's mother, who looked to be only around thirty years old, smiled kindly and said, "Xiao Xiao, you're already Soul Ancestor, why are you still cultivating so tirelessly? Even a girl shouldn't always stay in her room, you should go out and see the world more often."

Xiao Xiao shook her head. "No, Mom, there are too many amazing people in the academy. If I don't work hard, I won't be able to keep up, and I'll embarrass the teachers."

Upon hearing this, Xiao's mother's face showed a hint of helplessness. "You're still so young. How many people can cultivate to the Soul Ancestor at your age? Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Xiao Xiao shook her head and said, "No, Mom, let me tell you, besides me, there are two other people in our class with Twin Martial Souls. One of them is our class monitor, who also possesses the Extreme Ice. The other is named Wang Dong, who is younger than me, but his Soul Power is higher than mine."

"Even excluding those two, I have another good friend who, as a Soul Grandmaster, can instantly kill Soul Ancestor; so I have no choice but to cultivate desperately."

She was also helpless; as one of the current Shrek Seven Devils, she had no choice but to work hard!

It would be so embarrassing to fall behind!

Stubborn Xiao Xiao dislikes losing face.

Seeing the worry on her mother's face, Xiao Xiao quickly grabbed her mother's arm and said sweetly, "Mom, don't worry, Xiao Xiao will take good care of herself."

In a spacious courtyard in Shrek City.

Wen Xiaoshuai, possessed by the Earth Battle Bear Martial Soul, was attacking a burly old man again and again.

However, every single one of his attacks was easily neutralized by the old man. In fact, the old man didn't even move an inch, let alone activate his Martial Soul.

In an unnamed mountain range somewhere in the Sun Moon Empire.

Dai Huabin, uh, he doesn't have a holiday.

He was covered in blood, and three clearly visible scars marred his face.

Beside him was Zhu Lu, who was also seriously injured.

Just as Dai Huabin was about to go out and fight again, Zhu Lu grabbed him. "Huabin, do you know, I found a secret in a hidden inheritance of the Zhu Family."

Dai Huabin's dark pupils looked at Zhu Lu: "What do you mean?"

A smile appeared on Zhu Lu's blood-stained face as she uttered only three words: "Tiger Swallows Cat!"
