Three years later, the time when the original story began had arrived in the blink of an eye.
Bai Mo lay on a rocking chair, mouth wide open, waiting for Tingyun to feed him.
After all these years of being nourished by Soul Power, Bai Mo had grown to 175 centimeters tall.
Among his many girlfriends, he was the tallest after Gu Yuena.
Tingyun, who was feeding him, was still the same as ever. Time had left not the slightest trace on her.
Bai Mo had gained quite a bit over the past three years:
First, after returning to Shrek City, he went to Shrek Academy and told them he couldn't find any trace of Ma Xiaotao. While he was there, he also copied Xu He (He Caitou)'s solar research.
Second, Tang Yuhao had officially entered Shrek Academy and used his own little tricks to sneak into the Golden Tree. This also let Bai Mo obtain information on the Golden Tree. After seeing the scene inside it, Bai Mo could only exclaim, "Tang San really knows how to have fun!"
Third, Gu Yuena had returned to Minghuo Academy and given Bai Mo a piece of Life Gold, speeding up his cultivation once again!
Fourth, the Minghuo Chamber of Commerce had now spread throughout the original Douluo Three Kingdoms, becoming the number-one trading company in all three countries. It had also claimed half the market share in the Sun Moon Empire.
Fifth, during this time, Bai Mo had drawn five more golden rewards: the character Xiao Bailu, the Light Cone Walking on the Shore of Flowing Time, a three-star Preservation Path blessing (in simple terms, damage reflection), the character Huang Quan's Eidolon, and the precious item he had just drawn, Pioneering Present.
There wasn't much to say about Xiao Bailu. Her combat strength didn't seem particularly high for someone of her level, but she was still level 90. Besides, the poor child wasn't happy to begin with, so it was probably best to let her play by herself more.
The Light Cone Walking on the Shore of Flowing Time was Huang Quan's signature weapon, and it could greatly boost her abilities.
As for the character Huang Quan's Eidolon, he'd drawn Huang Quan again, but the duplicate had ultimately turned into an Eidolon.
With Huang Quan at E1S1 now, Bai Mo was getting a little cocky. He felt like he could send Huang Quan straight to flatten the Divine Realm!
But maybe not! If he flattened it, how was the author supposed to keep writing the novel?!
Finally, the new item he'd just drawn, Pioneering Present, looked like a pocket watch. Its function was to pioneer a new timeline!
Inside the Simulated Universe, Herta and Qian Renxue exclaimed, "So that's how it is!"
Finally, it was worth mentioning that after acquiring his exclusive Immortal Herb and Life Gold, Bai Mo's cultivation speed had increased dramatically. On top of that, under the Sun-Moon Radiance, his True Number Space could now sustain itself and give birth to worlds.
Bai Mo's cultivation speed could now only be described as utterly abnormal!
At nearly twelve years old, Bai Mo had already reached Soul Power level 45, putting him around the middle of the pack among his girlfriends.
Add to that his mental power, now comparable to that of five First-Level Gods, and the Pioneering Hat, which could add 80 levels of Soul Power, and he felt he could take on any of the Shrek Seven Monsters except Tang San without much trouble!
(Setting: Levels 100–109 are God Officials, 110–119 are Third-Level Gods, 120–129 are Second-Level Gods, and 130–139 are First-Level Gods (Main Gods).)
"Benefactor~ This little lady has already reached an agreement with Princess Jiujiu. The Minghuo Chamber of Commerce will be forming its own team for this Soul Master Tournament."
Tingyun spoke coyly, not forgetting to pop a grape into Bai Mo's mouth.
This had been Bai Mo's decision. He'd nearly finished researching the Symbiotic Contract, so he might as well make an appearance at this Soul Master Tournament. And why use the Minghuo Chamber of Commerce's name?
Of course, to advertise the Minghuo Chamber of Commerce! He wanted everyone in Douluo to know that the Minghuo Chamber of Commerce had this technology!
Besides, the members of the Red Branch team inside Minghuo Academy were each less like normal Soul Masters than the last. They couldn't exactly be used as test subjects for the Symbiotic Contract.
"Bai Mo! We're heeere!"
The voice belonged to a pretty red-haired girl in a pink one-piece minidress. The dress showed off her ample chest, but a tight white undershirt covered it. Bai Mo gave it a bad review!
Grown-up Wu Feng threw herself at Bai Mo in a rush and wrapped her arms around his neck.
Beside her, Ning Tian—blonde and dressed in the blue-and-teal outfit reserved for the young mistress of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect—shook her head helplessly.
It was worth mentioning that, because Bai Mo had once said Ning Tian would look prettier with long hair, she had kept it long ever since.
"Hehe, I'm planning to take you girls back to the past for a little fun!"
Bai Mo sniffed Wu Feng's fragrant, fiery-red hair and said with a smile.
Ning Tian looked perfectly calm. Ever since learning the true identity of Simulated Universe Qian Renxue, she'd suspected as much.
Wu Feng and Ning Tian had been the first girls Bai Mo had met in this world, but over the years he'd focused only on Gu Yuena and Zhang Lexuan, neglecting them somewhat. So now he planned to take the two of them on a honeymoon. With his true strength as it was now, he could practically walk all over Douluo I!
Why not invite the other two?
Zhang Lexuan was swamped with work and couldn't leave for long. As for Gu Yuena, after learning that the Sea God's mother was the one in the Golden Tree's archive room inside the Simulated Universe (it was only information; the real one was still alive in the real world), she'd started spending day and night in the Golden Tree, training that archived copy.
She didn't dare lay a hand on the real you just yet! But a mere fake? How could the great Gu Yue possibly let that slide?
She planned to train the real Ah Yin into a little dog someday!
When she and Bai Mo were having fun, she'd make Ah Yin lick Bai Mo's butt!
Speaking of the Blue Silver Emperor, Bai Mo remembered her too. After learning what was inside the Golden Tree, he'd taken Huang Quan along to check it out.
What Ah Yin had consumed so far was nothing but a trash data package Bai Mo had thrown into the Golden Tree.
"Where are we going to have fun?"
Wu Feng's dark red eyes fixed on Bai Mo as she rubbed her little belly against his waist.
"We're going to the past! Not going somewhere in the past!"
Bai Mo planted a kiss on Wu Feng's cheek. This dummy wouldn't understand even if he explained it to her himself.
Then Bai Mo stood up with Wu Feng in his arms and looked at Ning Tian, whose eyes held a hint of amusement.
Bai Mo didn't hesitate. He kissed Ning Tian's rosy lips, and she closed her eyes, cheeks flushed, returning his kiss.
Big Wu angrily shoved the two of them apart and glared fiercely at Bai Mo.
Bai Mo didn't waste words. He went straight for the tender pink lips of Big Red Hair.
"Mwah! You still taste like Ning Tian. Do you like it?"
Bai Mo's hand around Wu Feng's waist was getting up to no good, and he teased her as he spoke.
"I'd rather kiss her myself!"
Wu Feng planted her hands on her hips!
Bai Mo turned to look at Tingyun, whose eyes were smiling.
"Sister Tingyun, how about you~"
"Eek~ This little lady will have to pass~"
Tingyun pulled out her fan to hide the lower half of her face and replied with a giggle.
Bai Mo put on a disappointed look as he gazed at Tingyun. Of all the characters he'd summoned, she was the one he liked best!
First of all, who would develop feelings for a puppet?
Second, he liked Huang Quan very much, but romance was the last thing on her mind.
Lastly, Bailu was way too mature for his tastes. Bai Mo just couldn't get it up.
What? There was also the Frost Crystal Construct?
That would be downright depraved!
Tingyun looked at Bai Mo with gentle eyes, seeing right through his flimsy act.
She took a few dainty steps over to him, rose on tiptoe, and pressed her lips to the edge of Bai Mo's lower lip.
