Vina's Invitation and Reward

And so, under the questioning gaze of an unnamed waiter, Zhou Huan once again entered the private room of Yingkelai Restaurant.

The waiter was particularly surprised and shocked when he saw Zhou Huan feasting at the table once again, thinking, "Is this guy some kind of reincarnated starving ghost?"

They just finished a huge meal and bought a large amount of ingredients for the restaurant, and now, before they've even left the premises, they're already facing another meal?

Even if you're having dinner with a friend, you don't need to be this dedicated.

However, as a highly qualified restaurant waiter, he wouldn't show any strange expression, much less ask customers such questions.

After all, this customer is also boosting the restaurant's revenue.

As for Zhou Huan, he had no idea what a jumble of thoughts were going through the mind of the waitress who had just served him.

Zhou Huan was just thinking, since the big shot has invited me to dinner, I can't just stand there like a chicken pecking at rice, can I?

For Soul Master, eating an extra meal or two isn't a problem.

The meal that Du Busi and the other two had was actually quite uneventful.

Given his status Du Busi, he wouldn't ask Zhou Huan any questions, much less play the role of a kind old grandfather and show any concern for the younger generation.

This is not the kind of personality that Du Busi at all.

The fact that he could eat with Zhou Huan, an ordinary Shrek Disciple, already showed that he had a great deal of tolerance for others, even though he Du Busi.

Furthermore, because Mu En was dead, Du Busi's resentment towards Shrek wasn't as strong anymore.

Despite his fierce attack on Shrek for Huo Yuhao's sake, to be honest, even if he Du Busi, he would never have actually fought to the death with Shrek.

As the guardian sect of the Heavenly Soul Empire, if Du Busi dares to wage war against Shrek, then the Heavenly Soul Empire will not be far from destruction. Not to mention how many powerful figures Shrek Academy has on the continent, even the Sun Moon Empire will laugh itself to death and then reap the benefits.

Therefore, after Mu En's death, it was acceptable for Zhou Huan, Shrek Disciple born in the Heavenly Soul Empire, Du Busi.

But it was merely acceptance.

Moreover, Zhou Huan isn't some rare and powerful Body Martial Soul, so he's not worth trying to win over with things like Du Busi Undying.

Therefore, the meal proceeded smoothly without any discussion of Shrek or the Body Sect.

Even those that Du Busi rarely speak.

In most cases, it was Princess Vina who livened up the atmosphere.

After all, for Vina, the Body Sect is fundamental, and Shrek is a powerful ally; she still needs to win them over.

And so, after they had eaten and drunk their fill, Du Busi left with the words, "You young people keep chatting, this old man will take his leave now."

Only then did Zhou Huan feel a sense of relief.

Having dinner with a Level 98 Super Douluo Super Douluo, especially one who doesn't get along with Shrek, is quite stressful.

Upon seeing this, Vina smiled and said, "Brother Zhou, why do I get the feeling that you're a little afraid of my teacher?"

Zhou Huan was speechless, but still replied, "Can that be called fear? That's called respect! It's a junior's heartfelt reverence for a senior."

Upon hearing this, Vina's smile widened, "I don't believe it."

"I don't care whether you believe me or not," Zhou Huan said without further explanation.

At this moment, Long Aotian spoke up, "Brother Zhou, rest assured, although the Body Sect has many grudges with Shrek, they would never hold a grudge against an Outer Court Disciple like you; moreover, as a teacher, they would be even less likely to do anything."

After nearly three years apart, Zhou Huan felt that Long Aotian had become more composed and spoke less, but he had also lost the youthful enthusiasm and carefree spirit he once possessed.

Perhaps this is what they call growing up?

Zhou Huan, unaware of this, said to Long Aotian, "Brother Long, you're overthinking it. How could I possibly think that Senior Poison would do anything to me? However, as an ordinary Shrek Disciple, I'm bound to be a little nervous facing the Body Sect Master."

"You haven't experienced the scene where Du Busi overwhelmed Shrek, of course you're not nervous," Zhou Huan thought to himself.

Upon hearing this, Long Aotian nodded and remained silent.

Sigh~

Zhou Huan. Long Aotian would eventually grow into the steady and taciturn Long Aotian he knew!

I wonder what this guy has been through over the past few years.

At this moment, Vina continued, "Brother Zhou, how about we show you around Heaven Dou, and even take you to the Imperial Palace?"

Without a second thought, Zhou Huan decisively replied, "Nothing much. Even though you're a princess, it's not appropriate for you to just take anyone with you to tour the palace, is it?"

Vina chuckled and said, "Of course, there are conditions. We're going to do something very important tonight, and if Brother Zhou is willing to come along, after it's done, with this princess by my side, taking you on a tour of the palace will be no problem at all."

Zhou Huan didn't say anything, but just quietly looked at Vina with an expression that said, "There's no such thing as a free lunch."

However, Vina showed no embarrassment whatsoever. She casually reached into her Treasure Bag at her waist and pulled out a delicate Little Soul beast, as white as jade, resembling a golden oriole, and only the size of a palm.

Zhou Huan's pupils trembled slightly, because his Floating Pagoda was also vibrating at the same time.

However, Zhou Huan's emotional fluctuation was fleeting.

But then Vina said, "If Brother Zhou is willing to come, how about we add this little creature as a reward? Although it's just a small Ten-Year Soul Beast, it's not only beautiful, but most importantly, its song is beautiful. It's definitely a rare and ornamental Soul Beast. If Brother Zhou has a girl he likes, this Soul Beast would be the best gift. No girl could refuse such a cute little thing."

Zhou Huan: "... Am I such a shallow person? I've always pursued people with sincerity. What do these material things matter?"

Vina gave Zhou Huan a strange look. "So, you're still single, right?"

Zhou Huan: "..." You're so smart, how come you're not bald?

Seeing Zhou Huan's embarrassment, Vina couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Then, Vina added, "Actually, I don't know what this Little Soul beast is called either. You can give it to Brother Zhou to play with, study, or give to someone else; I think some of the researchers at Shrek would also like these strange Rare Soul Beast."

"Moreover, as a disciple of Shrek Disciple, I believe Brother Zhou wouldn't refuse to participate in what we're going to do tonight."

Zhou Huan looked at Vina with a hint of doubt. "Why?"

Vina continued, "We're going to wipe out a gang of Evil Soul Master tonight. As Disciple Shrek, Brother Zhou should be very willing to help, right?"

No, I don't want to!

This was Zhou Huan's first thought. He wasn't actually that righteous; as long as it didn't involve him or people he cared about, he usually wouldn't interfere.

Going to wipe out the Evil Soul Master gang? This probably isn't the Holy Spirit Cult, is it?

Has the Holy Spirit Cult been exposed?

It shouldn't be this fast.

Zhou Huan didn't know how much the Body Sect and the Heaven Soul Imperial Family knew about the Holy Spirit Cult, or if they only knew about some Evil Soul Master groups.

However, in either case, getting involved in such things is never a good thing.

But the Little Soul beast in Vina's hands is not to be missed.

Who knows when we'll encounter the special Soul Beast needed for the Floating Pagoda again?

Moreover, Vina only considered this little thing as a rare ornamental Soul Beast.

Therefore, Zhou Huan cannot show excessive desire for this Little Soul beast. What if Vina notices something and changes her mind?

After much deliberation, Zhou Huan finally asked, "Princess Vina, you're not thinking of just the three of us going to wipe out some Evil Soul Master gang, are you?"

Vina immediately shook her head and said, "Of course not, I'm not stupid. We're only responsible for the outer perimeter clearing and catching any stragglers. As for fighting the enemy head-on, that's for others."

Hearing this, Zhou Huan breathed a sigh of relief. That was good; Vina wasn't some naive little princess who thought she was the best in the world.

But then Zhou Huan was puzzled. "You've already gathered your troops, what do you need a Little Soul Master like me for?"

Vina replied, "Of course, we want to drag your Shrek alumni down with us."

Zhou Huan: "..." Big sister, you're so blunt that I can't refute you, you know that?
