Tang San!

Her arched brows had formed naturally, and a pair of limpid, watery eyes complemented her slightly round, tender face.

She was not only beautiful but also carried a hint of delicate charm. It seemed the word "adorable" had been tailor-made for her.

The boy standing beside her had long since been overshadowed by her invisible radiance.

The girl raised her hand and lightly wiped her slightly damp forehead, complaining somewhat:

"Finally, we've arrived at this Suotuo City. I really don't know what Master was thinking."

"Several intermediate Soul Master Academies clearly said they would accept us unconditionally!"

"Yet he insisted that you come here to take the entrance exam for Shrek Academy, which doesn't even have its levels divided."

Listening to the girl, Su Yu now knew their identities—Tang San and Xiao Wu.

Ning Rongrong noticed Su Yu's gaze fall on the girl called Xiao Wu, and her little brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

She quietly edged closer to Su Yu, her eyes darting about. She glanced at Xiao Wu, who was bouncing around in the distance, then lowered her head to look at herself.

The girl wore a Pink Dress and had her hair tied into a playful ponytail. As she ran, her skirt fluttered in the wind, making her look lively and nimble.

Ning Rongrong instinctively puffed out her chest and silently compared herself to the other girl. In terms of height, I seem to be half a head shorter.

As for leg length, those shorts do make her legs look a little longer.

She secretly touched her own cheek, then glanced up at Xiao Wu's face. She huffed inwardly:

She is pretty, but she's only about as pretty as me. Maybe I look sweeter when I smile!

She secretly tugged at Su Yu's sleeve, her voice carrying a faint, barely perceptible pout:

"Brother Su Yu, why do you keep looking at her?"

Su Yu came to his senses. Seeing her like this, he could not help laughing. He reached out and ruffled her hair.

"Nothing. I just feel that her Martial Soul is somewhat unusual."

"Martial Soul?" Ning Rongrong blinked, her attention instantly diverted.

"What Martial Soul is it? Is it even more powerful than my Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda?"

"Hard to say." Su Yu shook his head. "But she and that young man seem to have a very close relationship. They should be together."

Zi Ji, standing nearby, followed his gaze toward Tang San and Xiao Wu and said calmly:

"That young man has a concealed killing intent about him. He doesn't seem like an ordinary Soul Master."

"That girl... her aura is quite pure. It somewhat resembles..." She paused and did not continue.

Zi Ji's gaze lingered on Xiao Wu for a few moments longer, and her pupils contracted almost imperceptibly as a ripple stirred in her heart.

Hidden within the girl's seemingly pure aura was an extremely faint familiarity that could not escape her notice.

This girl was clearly the Soft Bone Rabbit that had cultivated for a hundred thousand years in the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest!

A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast undergoing Humanoid Transformation actually dared to swagger around so openly in the human world.

She was even walking so closely with a human boy. She was practically placing herself on the blade's edge.

Zi Ji secretly knitted her brows. If Su Yu and Ning Rongrong had not been beside her, her temperament might have driven her to step forward and expose Xiao Wu's identity.

She quietly withdrew her gaze, moved closer to Su Yu, and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear:

"Lord Su Yu, that girl in the pink skirt... her background is not simple."

Su Yu raised an eyebrow. "Oh?"

"She is a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast from the Star Dou Great Forest." Zi Ji's tone carried a hint of complexity.

"Still, I admire her courage. A hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit undergoing Humanoid Transformation and rebirth actually dares to wander around the human world."

On the other side, Tang San said something to Xiao Wu, and the two of them walked over.

"Hello. May I ask if there are two rooms available?" Tang San looked toward the front desk and asked.

"Please wait a moment. I'll check!"

The receptionist looked through the records on the desk, then raised her head and said to Tang San:

"I'm sorry, but the Rose Hotel only has one room left. However, this gentleman has reserved three rooms, so you'll have to discuss it with him."

When Tang San and Xiao Wu followed the receptionist's gaze, they happened to meet Su Yu and the other two's eyes.

Tang San's gaze first landed on Su Yu. The young man appeared ordinary, but his eyes were far too calm for someone his age.

His aura was restrained, like an ancient well so deep that its bottom could not be seen, making him impossible to gauge.

The girl beside him had delicate features and carried a hint of youthful charm. She was curiously sizing them up and did not give off any sense of pressure.

But the moment his gaze touched the woman in the purple qipao, his brows instinctively furrowed.

The woman stood half a step behind the young man. Her figure was graceful, and her purple eyes swept over him indifferently. She had made no movement, yet Tang San's heart inexplicably tightened.

It was as if some superior being had locked its gaze onto him. It was a danger warning originating from instinct, more intense than any he had ever felt from a Soul Beast.

Xiao Wu naturally saw Zi Ji as well. After sensing that familiar aura, her body went limp, and she hid behind Tang San.

She would never forget this aura—the aura of the two-hundred-thousand-year Hell Dragon King, Zi Ji!

"Xiao Wu, since there aren't enough rooms, should we find another hotel?"

Xiao Wu glanced at Zi Ji and said, "One room is fine. We can just stay in the same room!"

Tang San helplessly shook his head. At worst, I'll sleep on the floor. I usually have to cultivate at night anyway. That's the best kind of sleep.

"All right. Please help me book this room."

Just as the receptionist was preparing to complete the arrangements for Tang San and Xiao Wu, a sudden voice interrupted her movements.

"I say, this room should belong to me, shouldn't it?"

Everyone present turned around at the same time. Three people had appeared behind them and were walking toward the counter.

The three consisted of one man and two women. The two girls were dressed flamboyantly and looked to be around seventeen or eighteen years old.

They were tall, slightly taller than Xiao Wu. What was most astonishing was that their appearances were exactly identical—they were twins.

The man walking in the center was around 1.8 meters tall, though he did not look very old.

He even appeared younger than the two women in his arms. He had broad shoulders and a handsome face carrying a hint of resoluteness.

His Golden Long Hair fell loosely down his back, reaching almost to his waist. It was not curly but hung there in a straight, smooth curtain.

What drew the most attention were his eyes. Both of them had Double Pupils.

His deep-blue eyes were cold. When they were half-open, a sinister light flickered within them. Anyone who met his gaze felt as if their body were being sliced by sharp blades.

With an extremely handsome face paired with such eyes, a man like him would become the center of attention wherever he went.

But what concerned Tang San most was the man's strength. This man should already have reached the rank of Soul Elder.

As expected of a major city. On his first day here, he had already encountered quite a few geniuses.
