An Invitation to Visit Shrek Academy

"Dai Mubai, I appreciate the gesture!"

"As for these twin sisters—"

"Forget it!"

Li Xiaoyao refused.

Rather than touching these unclean twin sisters, he would rather pursue the famous beauties of Douluo Continent.

And indeed, there were quite a few renowned beauties within the Heaven Dou Empire.

For example—

Qian Renxue, who was working undercover in the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling of Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

The sisters Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er of Skywater Academy.

And Huo Wu of Blazing Fire Academy.

Ning Rongrong, who had come from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to Suotuo City.

Zhu Zhuqing, who had come from the Star Luo Empire to Suotuo City.

How could those proud daughters of heaven compare to these twin sisters? Which one of them did not have a more graceful figure and more distinctive temperament than these twins?

The girls: Oh no! He's coming for us!

"Is that so? All right, then!"

Dai Mubai was not surprised by the rejection.

It was not strange for a Soul Master genius like Li Xiaoyao to have no interest in ordinary, vulgar socialites like these twins.

He could simply bring Li Xiaoyao into Shrek Academy and, when the opportunity arose, introduce him to a few clean young noblewomen or merchants' daughters.

Thus, Dai Mubai took the initiative to make his position clear—

"Brother Li! You must have just arrived in Suotuo City, so you can have this room as a place to stay!"

"Just put anything you spend at the Rose Hotel on my tab!"

After Dai Mubai finished speaking, he paused—

Then, still looking at Li Xiaoyao, he continued in a familiar tone, "By the way, Brother Li! I can see that your skills are extraordinary. You must also be someone determined to advance along the path of a Soul Master."

"Though the Shrek Academy I attend may look unremarkable, it has quite a few Six-Ring Soul Emperors and Seven-Ring Soul Saints serving as teachers."

"You've just arrived in Suotuo City. If you have nothing to do, why not visit Shrek Academy three days from now? You can also see some different cultivation approaches. What do you think?"

Dai Mubai extended an invitation to Li Xiaoyao.

"Hm? You're inviting me to visit Shrek Academy?"

Dai Mubai's invitation made Li Xiaoyao raise his brows slightly. His fingers unconsciously rubbed his chin as a trace of amusement flashed through his eyes.

Three days from now will be Shrek Academy's recruitment day. Tang San and Xiao Wu will definitely join Shrek Academy.

If I want to hunt Xiao Wu, absorb her Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, and take her Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, the key is determining when Tang Hao leaves.

Li Xiaoyao's fingers stopped on his chin, and the amusement in his eyes gradually turned into cold consideration. Tang Hao has always protected Tang San from the shadows. With him around, forget making a move.

Even if I find a chance to deal with Xiao Wu, I definitely won't have enough safe time to absorb her Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.

Li Xiaoyao looked up at Dai Mubai, his brow lifting slightly.

Using Dai Mubai's invitation to slip into Shrek is perfect. Not only can I keep watch on Tang San and Xiao Wu's movements, but I can also secretly investigate Tang Hao's whereabouts.

As long as I figure out when Tang Hao leaves the area around Shrek, that greatest obstacle will be gone. Taking Xiao Wu's Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone will be as easy as turning over my hand.

Fine. I'll make a trip to Shrek Academy and treat it as laying the groundwork for my plan to hunt Xiao Wu, that Hundred Thousand Year Shapeshifting Soul Beast.

Having made his decision, Li Xiaoyao looked at Dai Mubai, a subtle curve appearing at the corner of his lips.

"Shrek Academy?"

"I've heard of your academy."

"I heard that Shrek Academy specializes in accepting monsters. Ordinary Soul Masters cannot get in even if they want to. Brother Dai, your invitation to let me take a look is truly doing me quite a favor."

Li Xiaoyao spoke slowly and casually, concealing the calculations in his eyes beneath a gentle facade.

"Since that is the case, I accept."

"I'll visit the recruitment assessment three days from now. It will also be a good chance to see just how many outstanding talents this 'Monster Academy' is hiding."

With that, Li Xiaoyao nodded slightly. He appeared to accept the invitation openly, but he had already begun making plans in his heart.

Once he infiltrated Shrek Academy and figured out when Tang Hao would leave, he would immediately hunt Xiao Wu for her ring and bone.

As for Flanders and Zhao Wuji, those two Seven-Ring Soul Saints, he did not take them seriously at all.

As long as Tang Hao was not in Suotuo City, he could wipe out all of Shrek Academy in minutes.

"Hahaha! Good!"

"With your word, Brother Li, I can rest easy!"

"I'll wait for you at the entrance to Shrek Academy in three days. Then I'll take you inside for a tour."

Li Xiaoyao's agreement brought a flash of delight to Dai Mubai's eyes, and the gloom caused by his eldest brother's suppression dissipated considerably.

He clasped his fists and spoke even more heartily.

"Brother Li! Then I won't disturb you any longer!"

After saying that, Dai Mubai gave him a few more instructions about Shrek Academy's general location, afraid Li Xiaoyao might fail to find it. Then he turned around, asked the Rose Hotel manager for another room, and carried the twin sisters toward it, one in each arm.

The twin sisters nestled obediently against Dai Mubai's chest, their slender fingers lightly brushing his arms. Sweet smiles covered their faces as they whispered soft, coquettish words into his ears, charming Dai Mubai until he beamed with delight. His earlier frustration vanished without a trace, and even his steps became lighter.

Yet while Dai Mubai lowered his head to chat and laugh with the sisters at his side, the two twins exchanged a subtle glance. Then, under the pretense of adjusting their hair, their gazes quietly drifted toward Li Xiaoyao.

One of them fluttered her eyes and gave Li Xiaoyao a gentle wink, her fingertips seemingly absentmindedly tugging at the hem of her skirt.

The other smiled with pursed lips, her eyes carrying an obvious invitation, as though silently sending Li Xiaoyao the message: "Want to meet tonight?"

The twin sisters had long been attracted by the powerful strength and mysterious aura Li Xiaoyao had displayed. Compared with the flamboyant Dai Mubai beside them, they preferred to attach themselves to a powerful figure like Li Xiaoyao. The looks they secretly gave him were full of deliberate seduction.

This scene did not escape Li Xiaoyao's notice, but he merely glanced at them indifferently. There was not the slightest ripple in his eyes, as though he had not understood their hints.

Only after Dai Mubai carried the twin sisters into the room did Li Xiaoyao call over the Rose Hotel manager and have him lead him to the hotel's dining area.

He then found a secluded private room and sat down.

"Oh, right, Manager!"

"Bring me every one of your hotel's most expensive dishes. Put the bill on Dai Mubai's tab."

When the hotel manager handed him the menu, Li Xiaoyao casually ordered several of the most expensive local specialties. The instant the door closed, he cast the earlier episode involving the twin sisters' seduction out of his mind.

His thoughts returned to his plan to hunt Xiao Wu. His fingers lightly tapped the table as he calculated when Tang Hao would leave Suotuo City.

Just as Li Xiaoyao was pondering this...

Knock, knock, knock—

Someone knocked on the door—
