Ants! Suppress! Disguise!

Bai Lan did not explain.

He simply looked at Liu Minghui and asked:

"Anything else? If not, we are leaving."

Liu Minghui's smile faded.

He looked at Bai Lan, then glanced at Yinye and the Ice Empress, a flash of ruthlessness crossing his eyes.

"Leaving?" he said. "There isn't a woman I, Liu Minghui, have set my sights on who has ever been able to leave."

He raised his hand, and the four attendants behind him immediately stepped forward, surrounding the three of them.

Passersby in the vicinity saw this scene and hurriedly gave them a wide berth.

Some whispered among themselves:

"It's that playboy from the Liu Family again..."

"Those two young ladies are out of luck..."

"What a pity, they look so beautiful..."

Bai Lan listened to the chatter, his face devoid of any expression.

He looked at Liu Minghui and asked:

"What do you want to do?"

Liu Minghui laughed.

"What do I want to do?" he said. "Little friend, I advise you to be sensible. Leave these two ladies behind and go yourself. My Liu Family still carries some weight here in Shrek City."

He paused, his smile becoming even more arrogant:

"Of course, if you're willing, you can stay and be a servant for me. Following me is better than running around aimlessly."

Bai Lan was silent for a second.

Then, he smiled.

The smile was very faint, so faint it was almost imperceptible.

But Yinye saw it.

The Ice Empress saw it too.

They knew what this smile meant.

"Yinye," Bai Lan said.

Yinye looked at him: "Master?"

Bai Lan said: "Teach them a lesson, but don't kill them."

Yinye nodded.

"Yes, Master."

The next second—

Yinye raised her hand.

She gave a light wave.

An invisible force surged from her body!

It was the power of space.

But it was only the faintest wisp.

So weak it was almost impossible to detect.

But it was precisely this wisp of power—

Liu Minghui and the four attendants behind him felt their bodies go light all at once!

And then—

They flew out!

They weren't knocked away.

They were directly displaced by space itself!

All five of them slammed into the ground ten meters away, landing in a heap!

"Ouch—!"

"My back—!"

Cries of pain rose one after another.

Liu Minghui crawled out from the pile, his face covered in dust and his fine robes torn, looking utterly wretched.

He raised his head and looked at Yinye.

In those eyes, there was nothing but shock and fear.

"You... you..."

Yinye looked at him, her gaze remaining calm.

"Master said to teach you a lesson," she said. "So, it was just a fall."

She paused, then added:

"Next time, it won't just be a fall."

Liu Minghui's face turned deathly pale.

Although he was a wastrel, he was no fool.

He hadn't even been able to see the power behind that move just now.

This woman was at least at the Soul Saint level!

Or perhaps even higher!

He struggled to climb to his feet, looking at Bai Lan with eyes full of disbelief.

Was this seven-year-old child really their master?

This wasn't a joke!?

Good heavens, what kind of existence could make a Soul Saint call him master?

This child's background was likely so immense that even the Liu Family couldn't afford to provoke him!

"Get lost. If there is a next time, you will die a very ugly death."

Bai Lan said, his tone indifferent.

The reason he didn't kill the other party was because this was Shrek City.

It was, in a way, giving face to Mu En, Yan Shaozhe, and the others.

As for the Liu Family?

Heh, even if they had a Title Douluo, he wouldn't be afraid.

And if they didn't have a Title Douluo?

With his current setup, it was even less likely that he would be afraid.

The Liu Family could be wiped out with a wave of his hand!

Liu Minghui felt as if he had been granted amnesty; he took his four attendants and scrambled away, rolling and crawling.

Only after running a long distance did he dare to look back.

Those three figures had already vanished into the crowd.

On the street, the onlookers did not disperse for a long time.

Some whispered among themselves:

"Whose child is that? To have such powerful people following him..."

"Those two young women are practically like fairies..."

"That wastrel from the Liu Family really kicked an iron plate this time..."

Bai Lan ignored the chatter.

He simply continued walking forward.

Yinye and Ice Empress remained on either side of him.

After walking for a while, Ice Empress suddenly spoke:

"Master, why didn't you kill that person just now?"

Bai Lan looked at her.

There was a hint of confusion in Ice Empress's eyes.

In her seven hundred thousand years of cognition, anyone who dared to offend her deserved to die.

Bai Lan smiled.

"This is the human world," he said. "It is not the Extreme North."

"Killing someone brings a lot of trouble."

He looked at Ice Empress, his gaze calm:

"Besides, that kind of person isn't worth me wasting my time."

Ice Empress was silent for a second.

Then, she nodded.

"Understood."

Yinye said softly from the side:

"You'll get used to it slowly."

"The human world has many rules."

Ice Empress looked at her.

Yinye smiled:

"But some rules are actually quite good."

Ice Empress looked thoughtful.

The three of them continued walking forward.

Sunlight spilled over them, casting three long shadows.

They hadn't walked for long when Bai Lan suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He raised his hand.

Yinye and Ice Empress looked at him simultaneously.

"Master?"

Bai Lan did not answer.

He simply looked at Yinye.

"Yinye, I need your help with something."

Yinye nodded: "Please speak, Master."

Bai Lan focused his thoughts.

Beneath his feet, three Soul Rings slowly emerged.

Black.

Gold-red.

Gold-red.

The radiance was so dazzling that even under the sunlight, it made people afraid to look directly at it.

"Help me disguise them," he said. "Disguise them as a normal Soul Ring configuration."

Yinye looked at the three Soul Rings, lost in thought.

"Master does not wish to be too conspicuous?"

Bai Lan nodded.

"Although I am not afraid now, being too eye-catching easily invites trouble."

"Besides—"

He paused, thinking of Bei Bei and the others.

Thinking of Yan Shaozhe.

Thinking of Elder Mu.

"I also don't want to put too much pressure on the people around me."

Yinye understood.

She raised her hand.

Silvery-purple light surged from her fingertips, enveloping the three Soul Rings at Bai Lan's feet.

The light swirled.

The black gradually faded, turning into purple.

The gold-red gradually faded, first turning into black, and then the black gradually faded further.

Eventually, it became purple.

The third purple ring remained unchanged.

The first and second both turned yellow.

Yellow, yellow, purple.

This was the configuration of a normal Soul Master.

It appeared neither too eye-catching nor strange.

After all, the hearts of people in this world are complex.

Knowing less is better.

Although he was not afraid, he did not want unnecessary trouble.

Yinye looked at her work, very satisfied.

"Master, are you satisfied with this configuration now?"

"In the human world, this is also a normal sequence."

Bai Lan looked at those three Soul Rings.

Two yellow, one purple.

For a level 37 Soul Venerable, it was simply the perfect configuration.

It also looked much more pleasing to the eye.

"Satisfied," he said.

He retracted his Soul Rings and continued walking forward.

Yinye and Ice Empress followed behind him.

After walking a few steps, Ice Empress suddenly asked:

"Master, why the disguise?"

Bai Lan did not turn his head.

"Because in this world, many people only see your Soul Rings, not the person you are."

"Letting them see what they want to see will save a lot of trouble."

Ice Empress fell silent.

Then, she smiled.

"Master, you are smarter than I thought."

Bai Lan chuckled and said nothing.

The three of them crossed the street.

Heading in the direction of Shrek Academy, they walked further and further away.

Behind them, the sunlight was just right.
