That Restless Hand of Senior Sister's Started Roaming Again

Zhi Lin swallowed hard, staring nervously at Meng Shenji.

"Chief, if Your Excellency the Elder says so, then should we..."

Meng Shenji raised a hand before him, signaling for silence.

"Zhi Lin, this matter requires careful consideration, and we must also..."

Meng Shenji paused as well, seemingly weighing his words.

"See what His Majesty suggests..."

Inside the girls' dormitory.

The lamplight flickered, casting two overlapping shadows onto the wall.

One spoke passionately and animatedly, while the other listened attentively without offering any judgment.

Dugu Yan sat cross-legged on the bed, hugging a pillow with a solemn expression.

"That's how it is, Yan Yan. You can't appear too passive.

You need to show some initiative and display your charm!"

Dugu Yan listened with a blank expression.

She could barely keep her legs steady in front of him. Was she supposed to take the initiative?

Ye Lingling helplessly pressed a hand to her forehead, seemingly deeply exasperated by the reality that her best friend was beyond saving.

"I'm saying, Yan Yan, if you've really changed so drastically, then let's try another approach.

Didn't you just say that those disgusting pig-headed male students outside called me slutty? That means men like that kind of thing.

You can act like that around him too, and then under the dim lights... get all lovey-dovey."

As she spoke, Ye Lingling made an extremely lewd gesture.

She formed a circle with the middle finger and thumb of her left hand, then moved her right index finger back and forth through it.

Her expression was equally lewd.

Dugu Yan's cheeks immediately flushed red. She spat out, "Shameless," then threw the pillow straight at Ye Lingling's face.

A burst of muffled thumps and rustling fabric sounded through the dormitory.

Everything was ready but the east wind.

Hopefully, he would come tomorrow.

Lin Yichen and the others walked through Heaven Dou Royal Academy. They had already passed the "inspection" at the entrance.

Thus, they proceeded without obstruction, and several academy students even guided them along the way.

However, something left Lin Yichen slightly puzzled. The competition venue was clearly Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena,

so why were their accommodations arranged at Heaven Dou Royal Academy?

Why was that?

Chrysanthemum Douluo seemed to notice Lin Yichen's confusion and explained,

"At its core, it's still about showing off their strength. Heaven Dou Royal Academy and Star Luo Royal Academy both vaguely have the potential to contend with Spirit Hall Academy.

It can also be considered an act of 'hospitality,' flaunting to Spirit Hall that Heaven Dou Royal Academy has grown increasingly powerful and that Spirit Hall can no longer cover the sky with one hand."

Chrysanthemum Douluo paused, a faint smile appearing at the corners of his lips before turning into disdain.

"Moreover, this was likely the Crown Prince's intention as well. He wants to see who might ally themselves with Spirit Hall and secretly engage in shady dealings.

Then His Highness the Crown Prince can take the chance to eliminate those people, place his own men in their positions, and secure his interests. Royalty truly has vicious hearts!

But unfortunately for him, no matter how he calculated, he never expected Spirit Hall to send two elders at the level of Titled Douluo.

If anyone truly befriends Spirit Hall, Old Ghost and I will certainly protect them. Then this Crown Prince's scheme will come to nothing."

After Chrysanthemum Douluo finished speaking, they happened to arrive beneath the dormitory building.

Looking around, the place exuded luxury everywhere. After all, for this week, it would be occupied by students from all the top academies!

Once everyone had been assigned their rooms, they went off to rest.

Lin Yichen sat alone in his room, twirling a pen in his hand.

"Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo don't know that Xue Qinghe is Qian Renxue.

So, without knowing that secret, they assume Qian Renxue intends to act against Spirit Hall."

Lin Yichen shook his head.

"That guess isn't unreasonable either. Even if they knew, what could they do?

Qian Renxue stands with Elder Hall, while Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo stand with Pope Hall. Neither side has ever respected the other.

Qian Renxue naturally wouldn't do anything that benefited Bibi Dong."

Lin Yichen set down the pen. His thoughts were in turmoil; the affairs between that mother and daughter were truly troublesome.

At the same time, he began mapping out his own "commercial empire" in his mind.

Spirit Hall is mine, Shrek is mine too. Build a good relationship with the Heaven Dou Empire, and the royal academy will be mine as well. Then conquer the Star Luo Empire.

Finally, rule the Star Dou Great Forest!

Perfect!

Lin Yichen let out a long breath. The future was perfect.

But the present was cruel. None of the soul skills he had awakened possessed any offensive ability.

He looked again at his Lunar Jade Rabbit, which was currently lying on the bed asleep.

The corners of Lin Yichen's lips curled upward slightly.

"Tell me, will you evolve someday? It would be best if you could evolve my soul skills too and make them a little stronger."

Just as Lin Yichen was talking to himself, the area below suddenly became lively.

Looking out the window, he saw that students from the Five Elements Academy had begun arriving.

The colors of their clothes corresponded to their academies' elemental characteristics.

Blue for Heavenly Water, red for Blazing, black for Thunderclap, green for Kamikaze, and brown for Elephant Armored.

They all looked different, but the fluctuations of soul power Lin Yichen sensed from them were all quite strong.

Every one of them was a Soul Elder, with the occasional twenty-eighth- or twenty-ninth-rank Grand Soul Master mixed in.

Just as Lin Yichen was watching the excitement, a pair of slender hands wrapped around his waist from behind and began stroking his chest.

It was Hu Liena.

"Are they better-looking than me?"

Lin Yichen froze slightly, then tried to pry her hands away and push her aside.

"Senior Sister, don't mess around..."

"That Xiao Rou... I'm unhappy."

Hu Liena immediately pushed Lin Yichen onto the bed and drew the curtains shut.

The previously bright room instantly became dark and silent.

Now and then, soft moans carrying fluctuations of soul power drifted out, making the treetops outside the window sway faintly.

That afternoon, when Lin Yichen opened his eyes again, he found that all the academies had arrived.

Suddenly, a whistle sounded from the training area. Was it the assembly signal?

It seemed the pre-match speech was about to begin.

Lin Yichen looked at Hu Liena sleeping in his arms, gently kissed her cheek, then covered her with a blanket.

He got up, stretched lazily, and left.

By the time Lin Yichen reached the training area, the teams from the various academies had basically all assembled.

He stood among the Spirit Hall Academy students. Xie Yue glanced at his slightly messy hair, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

His little sister had truly fallen for him.

Meanwhile, Yan lowered his head in disappointment and remained silent.

Below the platform, Heaven Dou Royal Academy stood at the front. Dugu Yan was within the ranks, talking about something with Ye Lingling.

Then she caught sight of Lin Yichen's welcoming smile out of the corner of her eye and immediately turned her head away, her ears reddening.

"He's here?"

Ye Lingling asked with obvious excitement. Dugu Yan quietly nodded, her cheeks flushed crimson.

Shui Bing'er stood in the middle of Heavenly Water Academy's group, lightly clutching the corner of her clothes.

Three people stood atop the platform. On the left was Meng Shenji, on the right was an elderly man with white hair and green eyes, while in the center stood a young man who appeared refined and elegant.

Meng Shenji spoke first.

"This exchange tournament is intended to promote sparring and interaction between the academies. There is only one rule: no killing.

The competition venue is located at the Great Spirit Arena. Each day, you may ride the soul beast mounts provided by our academy to travel there. There will be more than enough time, so there is no need for concern."

Riding mounts? It seemed they really were showing off their strength.

The young man in the center stepped slightly forward. Judging by his attire and his position in the center, Lin Yichen naturally knew that he was the Crown Prince.

"Your arrival from afar has brought great honor to our academy. During your free time, each academy may voluntarily exchange pointers and spar at our academy's spirit arena.

For this tournament, Heaven Dou Royal Academy is the host, the Five Elements Academy are the guests, and Spirit Hall Academy is the specially invited guest."

"Furthermore, for this tournament, Heaven Dou Royal Academy will also provide everyone with free Honey Snow Ice City beverages exclusive to Heaven Dou City."

When he finished, applause and cheers erupted from the crowd.

Lin Yichen sneered inwardly.

What an excellent display of hospitality.
