The fine Blue Silver Vines tightened around her, their sharp thorns quickly causing Ye Lin a burst of intense pain. Her body also felt slightly numb.
This was the parasitic ability of Tang San's Second Soul Ring, Ghost Vine.
"Have I lost?"
"You're always so confident, but things never go your way."
Ye Lin's First Soul Ring flashed. Holding the Immortal Sword, she lunged forward, and a Cyan Dragon Shadow appeared. With a bang, the Blue Silver Vines binding her snapped apart.
She closed in and pressed her sword directly against Tang San's throat.
"As expected of Senior Ye Lin! She won with just one sword strike again!"
Ye Lin had become very skilled at this sword strike. She had repeated it countless times over the past six years.
"You lost."
Ye Lin sheathed her sword, turned, and walked off the field to change. Every time she fought Tang San, the thorns on his vines poked one little hole after another in her clothes.
After graduating from Notting Academy,
Ye Lin, Xiao Wu, and Tang San set off for Shrek Academy.
Following Grandmaster's guidance, Tang San headed to Shrek Academy.
Ye Lin naturally went with him. Only by following Tang San could she keep changing the storyline and earning rewards. Besides, she could obtain the Second Soul Ring she had prepared for herself only by going to Shrek Academy.
If nothing went wrong, the others at Shrek Academy would also be able to earn rewards by changing the storyline.
Xiao Wu had nowhere else to go, so her only choice was to follow her Sister Lin.
A gray city stood in the middle of the plains. It was Suotuo City.
On a scorching summer day, with the blazing sun overhead, people streamed in and out through Suotuo City's west gate.
Two young women and a young man slowly entered through the gate.
The woman on the left wore her long scorpion braid hanging naturally down to her calves. Her pink top hugged her slender waist, while loose white trousers concealed her long legs. Her figure was excellent, with perfect proportions.
The woman in the middle wore a baseball cap, and a simple ponytail hung down behind her.
Beneath her black-and-white baseball jacket was a white cropped tank top. Her chest rose in a rounded curve, while a pair of light-blue denim shorts revealed her long, muscular legs. White sneakers completed her sporty look.
The man on the right wore a blue outfit, with a jeweled belt around his waist.
The three were Ye Lin, Xiao Wu, and Tang San, who had come from Nuoding City.
"We've finally reached Nuoding City."
Xiao Wu let out a long breath. "It's so far away. By the way, why did that Grandmaster tell Tang San to come to this Shrek Academy place?"
"And you came along too, Sister Lin."
Ye Lin smiled.
"It's not like I came all this way just to follow Tang San. It just so happens that we're going to the same place."
"I'd already planned to go to Shrek Academy."
"Shrek Academy is really strong."
"We'll find out when we get there."
Xiao Wu looked around Suotuo City for somewhere fun. "Anyway, there are still two days before registration at Shrek Academy. I should have a good time here first."
"I need to buy a few more pretty outfits."
"Once we get to the academy, it'll be time to train hard again."
Tang San stayed quiet, unable to join in. It was better for a boy not to interrupt when girls were talking.
"Buy whatever you like. We'll get whatever looks good."
Ye Lin readily agreed. After finding somewhere to have lunch, they went looking for a place to stay.
When she turned around, she spotted a distinctive hotel.
Rose Hotel.
Ye Lin remembered that this was where Dai Mubai had first appeared.
Xiao Wu looked the place over. "Sister Lin, it's so pretty! Let's stay here."
"Sure."
Ye Lin agreed, and the three of them headed inside Rose Hotel.
She went up to the front desk. "Two rooms, please."
The receptionist paused and looked them over. "Sorry, we only have one room left."
Xiao Wu answered without a second thought,
"One room? Then one room it is."
"We shared a dorm room back at the academy anyway."
"Xiao Wu!" Ye Lin smacked her on the head. "What are you thinking?"
"You're all grown up, but you still don't understand these things."
Xiao Wu pouted and fell silent.
"How about this? Xiao Wu wants to stay here, so she and I will stay. Tang San, find another hotel nearby."
Ye Lin tossed Tang San a Gold Soul Coin. "I won't make you run around for nothing. I'll cover the cost."
She turned to the receptionist.
"Give us the room."
"Wait!"
A sudden voice interrupted them. "I believe that room belongs to me."
Ye Lin and the others turned around together. A man and two women were walking in through the hotel entrance.
The two girls were both beauties. Either one alone couldn't compare to Ye Lin,
but they were twins, which made them especially appealing to men.
Ye Lin's gaze fell on the man in the middle. He was handsome, with long blond hair falling over his shoulders.
Ye Lin murmured, "Perverted tiger, Dai Mubai!"
"Congenital cataract body!"
Dai Mubai's double pupils made him stand out wherever he went.
"Oh? What a beauty!"
Dai Mubai was stunned for a few seconds when he saw Ye Lin. "Hello, let me introduce myself. I'm Dai Mubai."
"I don't know you," Ye Lin replied coolly, showing him no courtesy.
Dai Mubai's expression didn't change. He simply turned to the receptionist.
"You're new here?"
"Don't you know you're supposed to reserve a room for me?"
"Get your manager."
The receptionist shivered, said, "All right," and hurried into the hotel.
"I believe we got here first,"
Tang San said to Dai Mubai.
Dai Mubai didn't even look at him.
"So what if you got here first?"
Tang San replied coldly,
"Since we got here first, I'm asking you to leave!"
For the past six years at Notting Junior Academy, Ye Lin had kept Tang San under her thumb. Although he was nominally the leader of the Work-Study Students, he had to do everything her way.
Now at last, he had the chance to show what he could do. He was going to vent all the frustration he had accumulated over those six years.
"And what if I say no?"
Dai Mubai finally turned around. His Evil Eye glinted, its gaze cutting into Tang San like a blade.
Tang San clenched both fists, pale-blue Soul Power gathering in his palms. "Then I'll have to make you leave by force!"
