"My lord, after we break through, how do we get Soul Beasts from you?"
After the battle had finally ended, Shui Bing'er lay sprawled on Lin Yue, asking weakly.
She had already given herself to him, so she had to get this straight.
Otherwise, if she couldn't find Lin Yue, she'd be the one who lost out.
"Haha, get dressed!"
"I'll take you somewhere!"
Hearing Shui Bing'er, Lin Yue immediately laughed.
Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu didn't know what was going on, but they still got up, picked up their clothes from the floor, and put them on.
"Don't resist!"
Lin Yue put his arms around the two women and said.
His Containment Shelter could bring people inside, but he had to take them in himself, and they couldn't resist.
If they were unconscious, he could bring them in directly.
Bzz—
Then Lin Yue took Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu into the Containment World.
Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu felt a powerful force trying to take them somewhere.
Following Lin Yue's instructions, they didn't resist.
Whoosh~
The next moment, Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu appeared inside Lin Yue's Containment World.
They had arrived in a Soul Beast forest. As far as the eye could see, quite a few Soul Beasts were roaming about. It looked like an entirely ordinary Soul Beast forest.
"What is this place?"
"There are Soul Beasts here..."
Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu were both stunned.
First, they were shocked by Lin Yue's abilities. They had no idea how he'd done it, but somehow he had transported them from the hotel straight into a Soul Beast forest.
Then they were struck by the forest before them, where Soul Beasts still lived.
In the past, Soul Beast forests like this could be found everywhere.
But things were different now!
They hadn't seen a sight like this for a very long time.
They had even thought they would never again see such a vibrant scene in their lifetimes.
"This is a secret realm. You can think of it as a miniature world!"
"And I am the master of this secret realm."
"The Soul Beasts here were all captured and brought in from the outside by me. There are plenty of them, enough for you to choose the ones you want to hunt."
"Take these two tokens. Whenever you need to, you can use them to teleport into this secret realm."
"Once you're here, just call for me. I'll help you obtain suitable Soul Rings."
Lin Yue let go of the two women and explained the Containment Shelter to them.
He wasn't lying.
The Containment Shelter could be called a secret realm, and it belonged to him.
The tokens he had given them were made using the Containment System.
After hearing Lin Yue's explanation, Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu were once again left speechless.
They had never imagined that what Lin Yue had brought them into wasn't a Soul Beast forest, but a secret realm—a miniature world.
If they knew how large this miniature world was, they'd have been even more flabbergasted.
Of course, then they would surely realize that Lin Yue was the mastermind behind the disappearance of every Soul Beast on Douluo Continent.
Lin Yue wasn't afraid of them finding out.
He just didn't intend to tell them yet.
Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu each clutched a token, and their hopes for the future were suddenly rekindled.
With these tokens, they would never again have to worry about finding Soul Rings.
From now on, all they had to do was focus on cultivating.
"I understand. Thank you, my lord!"
Shui Bing'er quickly put away her token.
"By the way, these tokens are bound to your Soul Power. Only you can use them; nobody else can."
At Lin Yue's words, Shui Bing'er's spirits sank.
She had thought she might be able to bring someone else along. If so, she could have helped her younger sister, Shui Yue'er.
As for the other members of her team?
She wanted to help them, but she wasn't that selfless.
She had obtained the Soul Beasts by sacrificing herself. She wasn't generous enough to share them with her teammates.
"My lord, is there any way for my younger sister to come here too?"
Once she realized there was no other way, Shui Bing'er asked Lin Yue directly.
"My lord, me too! I want my older brother to come here as well."
Hearing Shui Bing'er, Huo Wu hurriedly raised her hand and chimed in.
"Your younger sister? If she wants Soul Beasts, I can give her a spot. But once she's here, she'll have to pay the same price you did. Think carefully about whether you want her to come too!"
"Either way, she'd be very welcome!"
Hearing Shui Bing'er, Lin Yue laughed.
But when Shui Bing'er heard his condition, her expression froze.
"As for your brother, forget it. Men aren't welcome here."
Then Lin Yue flatly refused Huo Wu's request.
"Ah..."
Huo Wu's eyes widened. When she'd heard the condition for Shui Bing'er's sister, she'd still been gloating.
She hadn't expected her brother to be denied entry outright.
"You bastard! That's discrimination against men!"
Huo Wu couldn't help but shout angrily.
"I'm showing respect for women!"
Lin Yue chuckled.
"If you don't want that token anymore, I can take it back at any time!"
Before Huo Wu could say anything else, Lin Yue's words made her swallow all her anger.
She had given herself to him. How could she possibly give up the token?
Huo Wu could only swallow her grievances and secretly wonder how she might get Soul Beasts for her brother too.
Seeing what had happened to Huo Wu, Shui Bing'er became even more afraid to say anything.
Instead, she was relieved that her younger sister was a woman—and a beauty, at that.
Otherwise, she might not even have been given the choice to come in.
"Yes, my lord!"
"If I come up with an answer, I'll let you know."
Shui Bing'er spoke obediently.
"All right. Now you know the truth, and you have tokens to enter this place. I'll send you out."
Lin Yue nodded, then took the two women out of the Containment Shelter.
After sending Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu on their way, Lin Yue headed straight for the Heaven Dou Crown Prince Mansion.
Without alerting anyone, Lin Yue entered the Crown Prince's bedchamber.
He had already sensed that Qian Renxue was inside.
Creak—
When Lin Yue reached the door, he pushed it open and walked in.
"Who's there?"
Qian Renxue heard the sound and startled. She was clearly flustered; she hadn't expected anyone to dare barge right in.
She had been resting in her bedchamber, and at that moment she had returned to her original appearance.
"Don't be nervous. It's me!"
"Your fiancé is here!"
Qian Renxue heard Lin Yue's voice.
She had been about to change back into her disguise, but immediately stopped.
So the moment Lin Yue entered, he saw Qian Renxue dressed as a woman.
