The next morning, Lin Ye woke up in a daze.
He habitually pushed aside the fair, smooth, and long leg draped over his body.
"Time to get up, time to get up."
He muttered the words, rubbed his eyes, and got out of bed.
"Stop messing around, let me sleep a little longer."
Xiao Wu mumbled, continuing to snooze away.
Lin Ye didn't pay her any mind; he finished washing up quickly and sat down on the suite's sofa.
After waiting for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, a hotel waiter delivered breakfast to the door.
"Quite thoughtful, so many restorative dishes?"
Seeing the breakfast provided by the hotel, Lin Ye couldn't help but make a snide remark.
As expected of a couples' hotel, the complimentary breakfast was very considerate.
There was light congee, stir-fried meat, and the like.
But there was also a large bowl of soup.
It was sprinkled with a generous amount of goji berries!
If they had actually done something, wouldn't a bowl of this soup be enough to fuel another three hundred rounds of battle?
"Morning~"
Just as he was marveling at how well the Rose Hotel handled things, a slightly unfamiliar voice came from behind him, giving him quite a start.
"You, why are you here?"
Lin Ye turned around, his eyelids twitching violently.
How could Zhu Zhuqing be here?
He had gone to sleep a bit early last night and had no idea what the situation was.
"Sorry, I startled you."
Zhu Zhuqing looked a bit embarrassed.
She walked with almost no sound; it seemed she really could easily scare people.
"Not at all, it's broad daylight, who could possibly be scared?"
Lin Ye waved his hand, practically writing 'upright and righteous, fearing no evil' on his face.
Good grief~ walking without a sound is terrifying, you know?
Luckily we didn't do anything bad last night, or it would have been ruined.
Such a pretty girl, yet she's like a ghost!
Zhu Zhuqing: "..."
And he said he wasn't scared!
Heh~
Truly, a man's mouth is a lying devil.
You can't believe a single punctuation mark they say.
"Is Xiao Wu still not up?"
Zhu Zhuqing was still somewhat uncomfortable with the fact that the two of them slept together.
According to what Xiao Wu said, they had been sleeping together for many years.
It seemed to have started back at Notting Academy.
That meant it had been six years.
Why would they sleep together?
She strongly suspected that Lin Ye had tricked Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu looked innocent and carefree.
She didn't look like the type to take the initiative at all.
She cast a suspicious gaze over Lin Ye.
That little look made Lin Ye feel a bit overwhelmed.
What was she doing?
Was she suspecting that he had done something last night?
Heaven and earth bear witness, I didn't do anything last night, I'm completely innocent!
What's with that look? Can't your thoughts be a little purer? So dirty-minded!
As the ancients said: beautiful women are always dirty-minded!
Zhu Zhuqing's dark eyebrows twitched violently.
How did her thoughts get so dirty?
This guy was just too wicked!
"Oh? Zhuqing, you're up too?"
Xiao Wu walked out while yawning, still wearing her little rabbit-hooded pajamas, looking adorable.
Zhu Zhuqing's expression relaxed as she nodded slightly. "Just got up."
"Oh, then let's have breakfast."
After saying that, she headed toward the bathroom. Once she had washed up, she looked much more energetic.
The three of them sat down to eat breakfast, and once they finished, Lin Ye was already making preparations.
"We're reporting to Shrek Academy today, so don't be late."
"Mm-hmm, I heard that's an academy that only accepts monsters. Our strength should be no problem at all!"
Xiao Wu was very confident.
She had learned from Lin Ye's inner thoughts.
The requirement for Shrek Academy was to be twelve years old and have a soul power of level twenty-one to enroll.
She was already level forty-two, so wouldn't enrollment be a breeze?
Not to mention Lin Ye, who was already over level sixty.
He was like a super monster.
If he casually revealed even a bit of his cultivation, Shrek Academy would have to beg Lin Ye to join them.
Just as they were about to leave the room, Lin Ye completed his check-in.
[Host has successfully checked in at the Rose Hotel. Reward obtained: Max-level Chaos Divine Eye, soul power increased by three levels, and the age of the first and second soul rings increased by 20,000 years.]
As expected, the rewards for important scenes were always generous.
The age of two soul rings increased by 20,000 years, and his soul power rose by three levels.
He even gained a powerful skill.
Chaos Divine Eye!
The Chaos Divine Eye had powerful functions, somewhat similar to the Purple Demon Eye, but even more formidable.
The Purple Demon Eye merely provided enhanced observation and long-distance viewing, allowing one to see through an enemy's speed.
It also dealt damage on a spiritual level.
The Chaos Divine Eye possessed all those abilities, but was far more potent.
Beyond those, it could see through falsehoods, perceive the essence of all things, and even see through objects.
In other words, under the Chaos Divine Eye, any disguise was futile.
How much soul power a person possessed, the weaknesses of their soul skills, the weaknesses of their martial soul, and so on—all could be seen at a glance.
That was the terrifying nature of a max-level Chaos Divine Eye.
Furthermore, the Chaos Divine Eye skill could continuously strengthen one's spiritual power.
By comparison, the Purple Demon Eye was trash, not even worth mentioning.
"Xiao Wu, Shrek only accepts monsters, which means it requires extremely high talent. Can I really join?"
Zhu Zhuqing was a bit worried.
She was only level twenty-seven right now; it didn't seem very strong.
"Don't worry~ You definitely can."
"Shrek's requirement is level twenty-one at age twelve. Aren't you already over level twenty?"
"Is it only level twenty-one?"
Zhu Zhuqing was stunned for a moment.
She hadn't expected the requirements to be so simple.
However, compared to other people her age, their soul power levels were indeed much weaker.
Being able to reach level sixteen or seventeen at age twelve was already considered a genius by the vast majority of people.
"Xiao Wu, what level is your soul power now?"
Zhu Zhuqing was a bit curious; she still didn't know how strong Xiao Wu was.
If she had the same talent, then she should be around the same level as her.
"Oh, level forty-two."
"Fo—forty-two?"
Zhu Zhuqing was shocked, her mouth slightly agape in disbelief.
Twelve years old, level forty-two?
How, how on earth did she cultivate to that point?
She had seen countless prodigies since she was young, yet none could compare to the monstrous talent of Xiao Wu.
This was a true monster!
"Then he..."
"Ah Ye? Ah Ye is a super monster. Don't ask, you'll only end up feeling inferior."
Xiao Wu shrugged.
Anyone who learned of Lin Ye's level would inevitably feel a profound sense of inferiority.
Just thinking about it, being in the same era as him was truly a tragedy.
As long as everything went smoothly, he would easily suppress an entire era in the future.
Zhu Zhuqing was curious, but she didn't press the matter further.
There would always be a day when she found out, anyway.
Perhaps one day, Lin Ye would accidentally reveal his own inner thoughts?
The three of them tidied up before finally leaving the Rose Hotel.
Lin Ye was in a very good mood; the rewards from today's check-in were incredibly generous.
He estimated that checking in at Shrek Academy would yield even more exaggerated rewards.
After all, that place was a turning point of destiny and a key location for the growth of the main cast.
Checking in at such a place, wouldn't the rewards be off the charts?
The three of them left Soto City and headed toward Shrek Academy.
Eventually, they arrived at a village.
Seeing this village, Zhu Zhuqing felt a bit puzzled.
Could an academy really be built inside a village?
Although Xiao Wu had mentioned the environment was simple, it shouldn't be to this extent, right?
When the three of them reached the gates of Shrek, Zhu Zhuqing was truly shocked.
Simple?
No, it was dilapidated!
If not for the plaque, she would have truly mistaken it for some run-down shack.
