Outside Soto City.
Lin Ye steered the carriage, while Xiao Wu sat inside the cabin.
With the Shrek enrollment date approaching, Lin Ye had brought Xiao Wu here ahead of schedule.
Having stayed in the village for over a month, Xiao Wu had grown quite a bit taller.
She had also officially become a Spirit Ancestor, reaching level forty-two.
Twelve years old, level forty-two.
Such a level would be absolutely dazzling anywhere.
It had been over a month since Tang Hao blocked their path, and they hadn't seen that guy since.
Uncle Lin Jie had even specifically gone to Holy Soul Village to investigate.
He discovered that the guy hadn't returned to Holy Soul Village at all.
He was likely afraid of retaliation.
Escaping last time was purely a stroke of luck.
After all, who could have imagined that the illustrious Clear Sky Douluo would choose to run away so decisively?
Because of this incident, Heavenly Sword Village was now quite cautious.
They had already arranged for villagers to patrol the vicinity.
After all, they didn't trust Tang Hao.
Others might praise him for being loyal and righteous, but judging by his actions in intercepting Lin Ye and Xiao Wu, one could tell that the guy was all reputation and no substance.
Who knew if he would pull some underhanded tricks later on?
Therefore, they remained very cautious, worried that he might stir up some trouble.
"Ah Ye, what was written in the letter the village chief gave you?"
Xiao Wu was bored out of her mind.
Ever since they left the village, she felt completely listless.
Traveling for so many days was truly exhausting.
"A life-saving charm."
Lin Ye replied casually.
The letter from the village chief was, to a certain extent, indeed a life-saving charm.
This thing is no simple matter. If Tang Hao dares to cause any trouble, I guarantee he'll regret it!
As long as we run into any danger, the bill will be settled entirely on Tang Hao's head.
When that time comes, neither Tang San nor the Clear Sky Sect will be able to escape!
Recalling the contents of the letter, he had to admit that the village chief was quite clever.
If they really encountered Tang Hao and he dared to make a move, they would simply hand the letter over to him.
The content of the letter was simple: it told Tang Hao that if anything happened to the children of Heavenly Sword Village, then Tang San would undoubtedly die, and the Clear Sky Sect would face retaliation from the Heavenly Sword Sect.
Did he think he could hide by closing the sect?
The retaliation of the Heavenly Sword Sect didn't care for such logic.
This was a threat, a naked, blatant threat.
Harm someone from the Heavenly Sword Sect?
Then wait to be wiped out.
No matter how powerful the Clear Sky Sect was advertised to be, the Heavenly Sword Sect would absolutely show no mercy.
Given Tang Hao's subservient nature toward his sect, he certainly wouldn't dare to act rashly.
Listening to Lin Ye's inner thoughts, Xiao Wu roughly guessed the contents of the letter and beamed with joy.
As expected, the people in the village were reliable.
In the six years, she had only returned to the Star Dou Great Forest once.
And that was while bringing Lin Ye along.
For the rest of the time, whenever she had a break, she went to Heavenly Sword Village.
She even thought about having Da Ming and Er Ming transform and just living in Heavenly Sword Village directly.
In Heavenly Sword Village, their safety could be guaranteed.
"We've entered the city."
Lin Ye drove the carriage into Soto City.
The moment he arrived, he decisively checked in.
[Host has successfully checked in at Soto City. Reward: Soul Power increased by one level; First Soul Ring and Second Soul Ring age increased by 10,001 years!]
With the check-in successful, he felt completely at ease.
Moreover, this time, the age of his soul rings had actually increased.
After the boost, both his first and second soul rings had reached the 20,000-year level.
Over the past six years, by insisting on finding places to check in every day, his soul power had now reached level 62—he was a bona fide Soul Emperor.
His third and fourth soul rings were at 99,999 years.
His fifth soul ring was 100,000 years.
His sixth soul ring was 200,000 years!
In the current era, this was nothing short of blatant cheating.
But thinking of Huo Yuhao ten thousand years later, he realized he still had to keep his cheats running.
That guy was practically the God of Cheats!
Starting off with a million-year soul ring—who could handle that?
The reward for checking in at Soto City wasn't particularly generous, so he would have to find opportunities to check in at other important locations.
For example, the Rose Hotel!
However, he could only check in once a day.
If he wanted to check in at the Rose Hotel, he would have to wait until tomorrow.
"Xiao Wu, let's find a hotel to stay in first, and we'll head to Shrek Academy in a couple of days."
As a crucial plot location, he believed Shrek Academy would yield quite a few rewards.
Currently, he hadn't fused with any spirit bones yet.
The spirit bones obtained from ordinary check-ins weren't high-level; he truly couldn't be bothered with bones that were only a few thousand or ten thousand years old.
They needed to be at least 50,000 years old to fit the standards of a Cheat King.
If he could get a full set of 100,000-year spirit bones, that would be even better.
Look at Tang San, that Cheat King from the original story; his spirit bones were 100,000 years old at every turn.
If he were weaker than him, wouldn't that be a joke?
He had gone through the trouble of transmigrating here, and although he just wanted to be a spectator, that bastard Tang San kept provoking him.
Just because Xiao Wu was close to him, Tang San found him an eyesore in every way.
He even wanted to find opportunities to cross moves with him.
However, there weren't many chances for that.
"Ah Ye, which hotel are we going to?"
Xiao Wu opened the carriage door. Although Soto City was only a medium-sized city, it was still quite prosperous.
After all, there was an intermediate spirit master academy in the city, so the streets were quite lively.
"Let's look around first."
Lin Ye continued to drive the carriage, looking for the Rose Hotel.
Just then, a person up ahead caught his attention.
Huh? Zhu Zhuqing?
I didn't expect to run into her here. Tsk, she really is quite pretty.
The kitten is very cute, so should I forgive her?
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing, Lin Ye couldn't help but mutter to himself.
With a scumbag like Dai Mubai—the King of Soto City's frequenters—how could she ever forgive him?
Hearing his inner voice, Xiao Wu was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Zhu Zhuqing.
Hmm, a beautiful woman with a great figure.
Especially the magnificent waves on her chest, which made others her age feel quite inferior.
She was just cold and aloof, as if she didn't care about anything.
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing seemed startled and looked around.
Finally, her gaze locked onto Lin Ye.
Although Lin Ye, who was driving the carriage, looked solemn and expressionless, one could clearly see a hint of teasing and mockery in his eyes.
So, was he the one speaking?
"What did you just say?"
"Hm? What?"
Lin Ye was stunned, completely bewildered.
[Is this kitten crazy? Or has she been on the run for so long that her nerves are frayed?]
[She's about to enroll in Shrek, she's going to see Dai Mubai—is she that excited?]
[What a pity, at this moment, Dai Mubai is probably still rolling in the sheets with some beauty at the Rose Hotel.]
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing sensed something unusual.
The voice was very clear, as if it had appeared from the depths of her own heart. Yet, the person in front of her clearly hadn't spoken. Was she seeing ghosts? Could she actually hear the voice inside his mind?
Filled with suspicion, Zhu Zhuqing chose to remain silent. However, Lin Ye's inner thoughts weighed heavily on her. Dai Mubai! Was he really rolling in the sheets with a beauty right now? Then what did that make her, having traveled through such hardship to find him? A joke? Thinking of this, she silently walked around him. She had to investigate this matter and see if Dai Mubai was truly at the Rose Hotel.
Lin Ye shook his head and continued to drive the carriage away.
Xiao Wu, meanwhile, turned her head to look at Zhu Zhuqing. She was certain that Zhu Zhuqing had also heard Lin Ye's inner voice just now!
