Rose Hotel

Seeing Tang San's bones shattered by the strikes, Flender realized that the Clear Sky Douluo had yet to emerge.

He knew then that the Shrek Academy he had built with his own hands was finished.

"Lord Holy Son, must Shrek be disbanded?"

"Is there no way to keep the academy?"

Flender pleaded in a humble tone.

Behind Lin Huai, Tian Yue thought of the talented soul masters Shrek had crippled and felt her anger flare up.

"You still have the nerve to ask to keep Shrek?"

Tian Yue pointed at Flender and berated him.

"Do you even know how high your student casualty rate is?"

"Those were all geniuses with Innate Soul Power of level 7 or higher! They died just like that under your care, and those who managed to graduate were left with their foundations severely damaged, making it nearly impossible for them to achieve any future breakthroughs. And you still want to keep Shrek!"

Flender's tone was sheepish as he habitually tried to justify himself:

"Th-this is all for the sake of honing the students' abilities."

Zhu Zhuqing's expression stiffened; was Shrek truly this useless?

She had come here seeking a path to survival, but if she were to be crippled by Shrek's training, wouldn't that be cutting off her own future?

Ning Rongrong was also somewhat surprised that Shrek had been able to recruit so many talented soul masters.

If all of them had been handed over to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for guidance, they would have been genuine, high-tier combat assets!

However, in order to recruit Tang San and the others under the Seven Treasure banner, Ning Rongrong pitched her voice higher and swayed her body from side to side.

"Brother Holy Son~"

"Is there really no other way~?"

Lin Huai seemed drawn in by Ning Rongrong and pinched her small cheek.

"Of course there is. You can just find other factions to invest in you."

"Or, you can merge directly into another Soul Master Academy; that way, you can still participate in this upcoming Soul Master Tournament."

Oscar, who was still stuffing a sausage into his mouth, saw the object of his former crush being handled by Lin Huai and even blushing in shyness.

When he shoved a sausage toward Dai Mubai, he did so with extra force, jamming it directly into Dai Mubai's throat.

The woman you had your eye on was only looked at a few times, but the one I had my eye on is currently being teased.

In Oscar's mind, a vision emerged of Ning Rongrong fawning over Lin Huai.

Pain, it is truly too painful!

He shoved his large sausage into his mouth even harder.

Dai Mubai's eyes rolled back in his head from the impact.

Behind Lin Huai, however, several soft huffs rang out.

Lin Huai hurriedly released Ning Rongrong's face, turned to embrace Qian Renxue, and planted a firm kiss on her cheek.

He then followed suit, kissing Hu Liena and Tian Yue as well.

Ning Rongrong's shy expression froze instantly.

What a massive loss; she hadn't expected these three beauties to all belong to Lin Huai.

Could her beauty trap even be effective now?

"Alright, the choices and the way out have been given to you. Dean Flender, what are your thoughts?"

As Lin Huai spoke, he walked past Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, using his soul power to infuse a surge of scarlet energy into their "precious assets."

Flender was still immersed in the sorrow of Shrek's impending dissolution when Yu Xiaogang, hearing that they could still participate in the tournament by merging with another academy, hurriedly spoke up:

"We choose the second option!"

Lin Huai finished his circuit, the corners of his mouth curling upward.

"A wise choice. I will wait for you at the Great Soul Arena in seven days."

With that, he wrapped his arms around Tian Yue and Hu Liena and began walking out of Shrek.

Scott spoke up at this moment:

"Ancestor, are we just going to let them off like this?"

"Do you need me to strike from the shadows and poison them?"

Lin Huai looked at the sinister-looking Scott; he was truly worthy of the name he bore.

"No need. You may leave now."

Before Lin Huai could finish, Scott spoke with a look of profound sadness.

"My ancestor, without me, who will sweep the dust from the carriage? Who will hunt the soul beasts for your meals, who will train the colts pulling the carriage, and who else could serve your daily needs and attire with such tireless dedication day and night?"

Lin Huai was a bit stunned by Scott's string of words.

Seeing Scott like this for the first time in years, Lin Huai waved his hand.

"I just asked you to buy something from the Speed Clan, is it that serious?"

Tian Yue burst out laughing.

"Hee hee--"

"I didn't expect Scott to have such talent."

Seeing that Lin Huai wasn't going to abandon him, Scott's face instantly lit up.

"So you just want me to get something, I thought Ancestor was going to abandon me."

He then remembered that they were far from Martial Soul City now. If these few had any accidents, he might never see the birth of mechs.

"But that won't do either, if I leave, who will protect Ancestor's safety!"

Lin Huai knew that there were definitely Enshrined Douluo or Elders protecting them in secret, but he hadn't expected Qian Daoliu himself to be dispatched.

"Don't worry about that. When we come out, there will definitely be Title Douluo protecting us in secret."

"Besides, you can't even beat Sister Xiao Xue yet, so focus on the task I've assigned you first."

Scott couldn't believe it.

He hadn't expected Young Mistress Qian Renxue to be so strong!

"Alright then, Ancestor, what do you want from the Speed Clan?"

Lin Huai took out a piece of paper with a drawing of the Crystal Dragon Blood Ginseng on it and threw it to Scott.

"Here, this thing. It should be a family heirloom of the Speed Clan."

Scott put away the paper, his tone dejected.

"Then I'm leaving, Ancestor."

"Ancestor, please don't forget me!"

Lin Huai felt a chill run down his spine and kicked Scott's leg.

"Scram! Don't disgust me. It's only been a month, don't act like this."

Scott put on his flying Soul Tool and ascended into the air.

"Ancestor, I'm leaving!"

Lin Huai ignored Scott and, without taking out the carriage, followed the three women leisurely towards Suotuo City.

Suotuo City, outside the Rose Hotel.

Lin Huai and the three women were looking for a place to rest.

"This is it, it looks suitable for us at first glance."

Lin Huai asked Qian Renxue and the other two.

The three of them were also curious about the hotel and nodded in agreement.

"Do you four guests need rooms?"

A front desk attendant, seeing the group dressed inconspicuously but exuding an extraordinary aura, hurried over.

"Yes, we need..."

Lin Huai trailed off, looking at the three women.

The three of them said in unison:

"One room!"

The attendant had never seen four people share one room before and quickly replied, "Alright, we have a Supreme Suite on the top floor, which is very suitable for you to rest."

"It's just a bit expensive, fifteen gold coins a night."

Just as Lin Huai was about to pay, Qian Renxue beat him to it and tossed a money bag.

"Three hundred, for now. We'll see later!"

The attendant respectfully took the money bag and led Lin Huai and the group towards the room.

"This is it. If you need anything, you can come to us anytime."

Watching them enter the Supreme Suite, the attendant couldn't help but sigh inwardly. This pretty boy was really living off women, not only was a rich woman paying, but he also brought three beauties to play with. Wasn't he afraid of getting exhausted?

As soon as they entered the bedroom, they were greeted by a huge circular bed.

Golden decorations adorned the room, and on the bed was a large heart made of roses.

"That bathroom is like a swimming pool, I've never enjoyed myself like this!"

Tian Yue exclaimed as she emerged from the bathroom.

Indeed, for the past few years, Lin Huai and the others had either been training or meditating.

Although they were all top-tier second-generation powerhouses, they had never enjoyed such luxury.

"Now, sisters, are we going to sleep in the same bed?"
