Worthy of the Love Continent

Jiang Nannan looked at the hazy curtain of fire before her, momentarily stunned. What was happening? Then, hearing a gasp from Tang Ya inside, her face flushed instantly. Couldn't these two at least be discreet?

Xiao Yi pressed Tang Ya down onto the bed, his breathing growing heavy. It was one thing for this girl to bat her eyelashes at him, but who could resist when she pressed herself against him like this? Especially since Xiao Yi had been suffering through the night, and being seduced like this today had his inner fire rising.

"Xiao Ya, are you sure about this?" Tang Ya looked straight into Xiao Yi's eyes and nodded slowly. Her eyes were shimmering with moisture, her face flushed like a sunset, feeling both nervous and secretly expectant.

Tang Ya felt a bit awkward; this position was truly uncomfortable. Looking at Xiao Yi, who was inches away, she leaned in and pressed her lips against his.

As Tang Ya took the initiative, feeling the soft sensation of their lips meeting, her body suddenly trembled. Her water-like eyes rippled with emotion as she gazed softly at Xiao Yi.

Suddenly, Tang Ya began to tremble even more violently, and Xiao Yi savored the beauty of the young girl.

After a long while, their lips parted. Xiao Yi made no further moves. By now, Tang Ya was flushed deep red, looking like a ripe peach, utterly captivating. Unable to help a soft moan, she shot Xiao Yi a reproachful glare before they swapped positions.

Tang Ya lowered her head and leaned down.

Outside, Jiang Nannan covered her ears and waited for a long time, but other than some rustling sounds, she heard nothing else. She found it strange that the two had gone so quiet.

An hour later, the fire curtain dissipated. Only Tang Ya was on the bed; her face was flushed, and her neck and lips felt slightly uncomfortable.

Jiang Nannan looked at Tang Ya with a strange expression. Tang Ya coughed twice. She had been prepared for the worst, but Xiao Yi hadn't intended to take her right then and there. Her heart warmed slightly—he clearly cared about her feelings—though she also felt a bit ashamed.

"It's nothing, Nannan, we didn't do anything just now." Tang Ya's face grew even redder. Jiang Nannan roughly guessed what had happened and secretly spat in her heart.

Xiao Yi, meanwhile, was strolling outside, feeling refreshed. Of course, he didn't intend to do that with Tang Ya just yet; such things required a truly private environment, and the fire curtain could only block the view, after all.

It was just that he had been worked up, so naturally, he had to have Tang Ya help him resolve it.

He slipped back into the girls' dormitory area and closed his door. As he turned around, he saw a pair of powder-blue eyes staring at him unblinkingly. Tang Wutong, dressed in men's clothing, looked thoroughly displeased.

"Well? Which senior sister did you go to today? Do you even know how to come back?" Tang Wutong caught the scent of a woman on Xiao Yi in an instant.

Xiao Yi didn't care, muttering to himself: I'm not saying anything, but you're wearing men's clothes and acting jealous—are you serious?

"I didn't do anything. Jiang Nannan's mother has a severe congenital heart condition, so I just promised to help treat her later," Xiao Yi said truthfully, though he omitted what had happened with Tang Ya.

Hearing this, Tang Wutong let out a soft breath and relaxed. She didn't know why, but seeing Xiao Yi interact with other girls made her feel incredibly stifled. She hadn't slept a wink last night, as if she were worried about her own possession being snatched away.

Xiao Yi watched Tang Wutong's reaction and was secretly amazed. Good heavens, I'm speechless. As expected of the Romance Continent; has she been cursed by the God of Love or something?

"Alright then, do you have any plans for tomorrow? Don't just disappear suddenly again."

"I'm going out to hunt a soul beast tomorrow. I've already broken through to level 40," Xiao Yi said without hesitation.

"What? You're level 40?" Tang Wutong's face was full of disbelief and existential doubt. Hadn't school only started three days ago? Two levels in a row?

Tang Wutong fell into a deep state of self-doubt.

Early the next morning, Xiao Yi greeted Mu En, who was sitting at the entrance of the freshman dormitory, as usual, and headed straight out of the academy.

However, several figures were tailing him not far behind, skulking about with clearly malicious intent.

Just last night, in a remote corner of Shrek City.

Dai Huabin walked slowly into the shadows. A terrifying scar still remained on his face, one that even the Titled Douluo healer present at the time could not treat.

This filled Dai Huabin with boundless rage, his hatred for Xiao Yi reaching its peak. He hadn't yet discovered that his own cultivation had developed a flaw; whenever he began to meditate, he was disturbed by inner fire, making it impossible to progress.

Otherwise, he would likely be even more furious.

Dai Huabin's expression was grim, devoid of his former arrogant genius demeanor. Being instantly defeated and severely injured in public today had cost him almost all his dignity.

"Xiao Yi, I will make you pay the price."

Stepping into a pitch-black room, Dai Huabin stopped.

Swish, swish, swish. Several dark shadows flickered past, and several people knelt before him. Judging by their soul power fluctuations, they were two Soul Emperors and three Soul Kings. Their attire and ornaments revealed their identity: they were secret guards from the White Tiger Duke Mansion.

"Young Master," they greeted in unison.

"If you see this brat anywhere in Shrek City, kill him on the spot. Leave no evidence behind," Dai Huabin said, throwing out a portrait of Xiao Yi through gritted teeth.

The men exchanged glances, and one of the Soul Emperors spoke up.

"Second Young Master, does the Duke Mansion know about this?" He actually wanted to ask if assassinating a Shrek student within Shrek City would invite retaliation from Shrek Academy.

"Hmph, naturally they don't. And you don't need to worry; he's just a quasi-Soul Ancestor without a fourth soul ring. With your strength, just kill him and run. The academy won't have any evidence to link it to the Duke Mansion."

The men bowed and accepted the order.

Xiao Yi walked toward the outskirts of the academy with his hands behind his head, looking relaxed. His destination was near the core of the Mixed Zone, where the Radiant Flood Dragon's habitat was right next to the Hell Demon Dragon's.

Regarding Zi Ji, Xiao Yi had read the records; the Hell Demon Dragon was not within the scope of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, though the Silver Dragon was. He wondered if the Silver Dragon King could be contracted. Xiao Yi calculated the odds; although her cultivation was far beyond his, according to the rules of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, which allowed for forced contracts across two major realms, it might actually be possible if he reached the Titled Douluo realm.

Moreover, with the God Realm out of contact, she might very well use her legendary wisdom to come out and throw her life away.

If she suppressed her own cultivation then... Hehehe, "Silver Dragon King, you wouldn't want anyone to find out you were enslaved by a human, would you?"

Of course, all of this was still unknown. Whether she could be judged by the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils while suppressing her cultivation was one issue, and her true form was another. After all, the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils were purely mechanic-based; if a suppressed Silver Dragon King were judged to have lower cultivation than Xiao Yi, she would be finished. This was a soul contract; even if she unsealed her cultivation, she wouldn't be able to break free.

These weren't things he could know now. He had other things to think about.

"You few, you've been following me for a long time. It's time to come out."
