Praise Na'er, Praise Wulin, the Golden Dragon King's Silk Threads-We Were All Dragon Gods, So Why Kill Each Other?

Why not?

He absolutely had to have it.

This was a gift from his godfathers on Blue Star.

It was the perfect Soul Spirit, tailor-made for him.

The name Beauty Badge sounded like it fit his Martial Soul, the Rainbow Dragon King, perfectly.

When it came to beauty, who could possibly outshine the Rainbow Dragon King?

When it came to purity, who could possibly surpass a simple child like him, nurtured by countless teachers on Blue Star?

His body was in Bodo, but his heart belonged to innocence.

Li Luo spoke calmly. "Xiaotao, please take it out for me. I want it."

"Huh?!"

"You really want this one?!"

Su Xiaotao and Feng Kudi were both astonished.

It cost eleven million Federation Coins. They could work their whole lives and probably still never earn that much.

Comparing yourself to others was enough to drive you mad!

At that moment, Feng Kudi was convinced.

He was thoroughly convinced.

Feng Kudi kept thanking his lucky stars that he hadn't made any reckless vows—like swearing he'd eat the tree outside the door if Li Luo bought a Soul Spirit, or eat that lump of shit by the entrance.

Su Xiaotao handed Li Luo the oval-shaped instrument. "Shine this on the Soul Spirit Ball, and the Beauty Badge will appear. Then we'll go to the front desk to register and pay."

"Okay."

Li Luo took the instrument and pressed the switch. A beam of light shone onto the Soul Spirit Ball.

The Soul Spirit Ball gradually turned transparent.

A hexagonal badge floated in midair.

Li Luo took the badge. It felt cool to the touch. On its front, he saw a rose engraved into the surface.

A line of small text was inscribed on the back.

[If you run into trouble, you must let me know. I will protect your safety.]

Damn, it was confirmed!

There was no doubt about it. It was just as he'd guessed. This badge was connected to the Knight of Pure Beauty.

Li Luo was a little excited.

He looked forward to the Soul Skill that would emerge after he absorbed the Beauty Badge.

What kind of Soul Skill would it be?

Was he really going to have to defend the world's beauty so soon, wielding a long spear to tear through the gloom?

Li Luo happily indulged in his fantasies, never once considering that his Martial Soul was the Rainbow Dragon King—a support-type.

Seeing that Li Luo had successfully extracted the Soul Spirit, Su Xiaotao led him to the front desk.

Two girls dressed to the nines stood behind it.

Su Xiaotao's eyes seemed to light up. "Oh, my dear Pingping and little sister Lili. Seeing you both really lifts my spirits."

"This is my distant cousin."

"Li Luo."

"Would you two please help him with the purchase?"

Pingping and Lili shrieked.

"Ah!"

"It's Li Luo!"

"Li Luo, the Immortal!"

Pingping rushed out. "Little Li Luo, I'm your distant cousin's distant cousin! I'm your fan! Can I give you a hug, dear?"

"No, wait! Can you give me an autograph instead?"

Lili gazed at Li Luo with hopeful eyes. She was a little more shy, but still gathered her courage. "Little Li Luo, I'm also your cousin's distant cousin. Could I have your autograph too?"

Li Luo: "..."

"Scritch, scritch!" Li Luo signed his name with a flourish in the notebooks the two women held out.

He hadn't expected his influence to extend beyond the little girls.

Even these bright-eyed big sisters couldn't resist him.

Ah, what a bother!

Li Luo sighed.

Pingping immediately asked anxiously, "Don't worry, little brother. I'll take care of the paperwork right away."

"Yes, little Li Luo, have a seat and drink something sweet." Lili was already holding out a drink.

Su Xiaotao was left completely out in the cold.

Snowflakes drifted down,

and a song began playing in Xiaotao's heart.

Pingping quickly worked on the Soul Guidance Computer. As she did, she asked, "Little Li Luo, where do you live?"

"Do you have a girlfriend?"

Lili gave Pingping a swat. "Little Li Luo is still so young. How could he have a girlfriend?"

"Oh, right, right."

Pingping continued, "Little Li Luo, then what kind of girl would you look for when you get a girlfriend?"

"Someone sweet and cute?"

"Or a mature, queenly type like me?"

As she spoke, Pingping's gaze darted over to Li Luo, and she shot him a flirtatious wink.

"Uh..." Li Luo was a little overwhelmed.

Su Xiaotao stepped in. "My little brother is very innocent. He hasn't even thought about these things yet. Please don't corrupt him."

"Hmph!"

The two women snorted at the same time, their eyes slicing toward Su Xiaotao like knives. Their message was clear: Xiaotao, if you meddle, you'll have to face the consequences.

Su Xiaotao was deeply aggrieved...

The two women eventually remembered what they were there for, and the paperwork finally reached its last step: payment.

When they saw the total come to eleven million Federation Coins,

the two women immediately understood.

Little Li Luo here was a child from a wealthy family.

He was only fit to be admired from afar,

not to be trifled with.

He wasn't someone women like them could lay a hand on.

Lili said respectfully, "Little Li Luo, the total comes to eleven million Federation Coins. Would you like to pay with Xiaowei?"

Li Luo replied, "I'll pay using Red Mountain Academy's account. Principal Gao gave me the account details, so you can deduct the money from there."

"Also, I need a receipt. I'll have to take it back to Red Mountain Academy for reimbursement."

"Ah!"

The two women exclaimed in surprise. So little Li Luo wasn't from a wealthy family after all.

He was simply so outstanding that even the academy was willing to spend eleven million Federation Coins to support him.

Still, this was a bit over the top.

The amount was too large. If Red Mountain Academy refused to reimburse it, the Spirit Pagoda wouldn't be able to collect the money.

Lili said in a clear, sweet voice, "Little Li Luo, we'll need to verify this with Red Mountain Academy. Please understand."

"Sure, no problem," Li Luo replied.

"Tell Principal Gao that I chose a Century Soul Spirit, and the payment needs to come out of the academy's account."

Lili immediately found Principal Gao's contact information on Red Mountain Academy's official website.

She picked up the Soul Guidance Communicator.

"Hello, Principal Gao Zhiyuan? I'm Lili from the Spirit Pagoda's Aolai City branch. Your student Li Luo has chosen a Century Soul Spirit here. He said the purchase should be charged to the academy's public account. Is that correct?"

"Oh, so that's the case. Yes, that's right. Student Li Luo chose a Century Soul Spirit. His spiritual power is strong enough to support a Century Soul Spirit."

"All right, Principal Gao. We'll leave it there for now. I'll deduct the cost of Li Luo's Century Soul Spirit directly from Red Mountain Academy's public account in a moment."

"We'll give Li Luo the receipt. Please confirm it when you receive it, Principal Gao, so the Spirit Pagoda can officially receive the payment."

Lili ended the call on the Soul Guidance Communicator.

She smiled sweetly. "Little Li Luo, it's all taken care of."

"Brrt, brrt, brrt!"

The Soul Guidance Printer printed out a receipt.

Lili took it and stamped it with the seal of the Aolai Spirit Pagoda branch.

"Little Li Luo, keep this safe. When you get back to the academy, just hand it over to them."

"Okay, thank you, big sisters."
