Five Lofty Flowers of the Paradise Troupe

The Soul King immediately sobered up, cold sweat streaming down his face. He promptly dropped to his knees. "Holy Maiden, please spare me. Today is my first time on gate duty, so I'm admittedly a little inexperienced."

Huo Yuhao hesitated. Seeing the pitiful look on the middle-aged man's face, he said, "Sister Wan'er, how about we let it go? He's pretty pitiful too."

"Well, if it isn't the Holy Maiden. You came to Paradise City without even telling us sisters, yet you're taking your anger out on a gate guard. What's that about?"

Just as Lin Wan'er was about to overlook the gate guard's offense, a seductive voice suddenly came from all directions. Spiritual power spread out, winding around Paradise City's entrance like spider silk.

Huo Yuhao's expression changed slightly, his face growing more solemn. At last, he understood why Tang Ya and the others wore such jealous, resentful expressions whenever they spoke of the Heaven Soul Sect.

According to Brother Sky Dream's warning, the owner of that voice was a Titled Douluo. Despite her young age, she had already earned the title of Paradise Killing God, her name resounding throughout the Douluo Continent.

Most Titled Douluo would rather turn and run at the sight of her, terrified that this Titled Douluo, who preyed on both men and women, would swindle away all their wealth and treasures.

"Irisis, does the sect not know what kind of relationship your little sisterhood has with me?"

Rubbing the corner of her eye, Lin Wan'er said helplessly, "I was wondering what wind had blown you here. Haven't you been lurking around the outskirts of Shrek Academy lately, eyeing Xuan Zi's Soul Bone like a tiger? How did you find the time to return to Paradise City?"

"This one naturally has other matters to attend to—for example, changing my hunting target to the little male pet beside you."

Huo Yuhao, who had been eavesdropping with his ears perked up, instantly flushed scarlet. Little male pet?!

The relatively innocent Huo Gua: Holy meow, shocked.jpg. Huo Yuhao subconsciously hid behind Lin Wan'er after sensing himself being locked onto by an unseen gaze, hoping to evade that indescribable crimson look.

"You'd better come out obediently. If you don't, I'll have to invite you out myself."

Gritting her silver teeth, Lin Wan'er took out the Star Guardian Staff and heavily struck it against the ground. An oval magic formation that Huo Yuhao found familiar instantly expanded, covering the entire area before the gate.

The Soul King on duty, who was trembling and clutching his head nearby, discovered that the Soul Power in his body could no longer circulate. His eyes immediately turned hollow and vacant.

Background Soul King: Who the hell said something good would happen while I was on duty today?!

"Sigh, now that you have a little boyfriend, you've become so impatient. Do you want our sisterhood to join you in sharing a Paradise Experience?"

Soon, a group of girls with varying appearances—but all possessing looks worthy of a top-tier girl group—walked out from the shadows beneath the buildings and arrived before Lin Wan'er.

The leading woman among them left Huo Yuhao utterly shocked. Even the gray orb in his Spiritual Sea, which had been recuperating while eating manifested potato chips, let out a startled cry.

"This is the Demigod Project? I thought that after so much time had passed, the Heaven Soul Sect would never restart this project."

"What an exquisite fusion of genes and formations. They forcibly allowed two entirely different lives to share the fortune of the strongest. Has this world truly reached such a high level? This old man is deeply impressed."

The woman who had astonished both a soul beast and an old man stood elegantly atop a giant spider's head. She looked to be around thirty. Her figure was sharply defined, her crimson hair lustrous as silk, while her bright eyes and black pupils seemed capable of dragging anyone into a web.

A cape of purple-black and crimson was draped over her shoulders, secured by an eight-legged Soul Tool.

She wore a tight leather outfit dominated by black with red accents. Spider claws grew from the back of the leather outfit, currently massaging the acupoints on the woman's body.

The woman's intoxicatingly dark and seductive aura effortlessly captured Huo Yuhao's gaze. The next moment, a cool sensation suddenly spread through his head, making him want to get as far away as possible from this woman with her strange aura.

"Hm? Where did the Holy Maiden pick up this little fellow? He actually managed to break free from my charm."

As she spoke, an emotion of delight traveled up everyone's spines and spread throughout their bodies. Her seductiveness was like poison—deadly, yet irresistibly enticing, making it impossible to escape.

The proud woman, like an empress, tapped the spider's head with the sole of her foot. The fierce ten-thousand-year soul beast cooperatively withdrew the spider spears supporting its body, allowing her to jump down from its head.

At the same time, several enchanting women beside her, all dressed in black and purple, crowded around and examined the helpless Huo Yuhao.

Seeing Huo Yuhao, the prized morsel, trapped in a spider den, Lin Wan'er irritably called out their names. "Yi Lisi, Madam Guī, Dark Crow, and Ling Luochen and Wei Na too. Why do you two have the time to form a sisterhood with these three shameless old women? Aren't you afraid you'll never find partners in the future?"

Afraid that Huo Yuhao would not dare speak to them, Lin Wan'er took the initiative to act as a "tour guide," introducing the beautiful women to him.

"Yi Lisi, Soul Power rank ninety-three. She's one of the few agility-attack and control-system dual-cultivating Titled Douluo in Paradise City. Her title is Paradise."

"Dark Crow, Soul Power rank ninety-one. She handles Paradise City's assassination missions. In her spare time, she auctions off valuable items and visits the trading houses. She is an Assault System Soul Master, with the title Dark."

"The one holding the staff is Madam Guī. Her martial soul is Raven, and her Soul Power is rank eighty-four. She is currently Paradise City's chief financial steward and also serves as the commander-in-chief of intelligence."

"Then there's Ling Luochen, who clearly looks much younger. She's a student of Shrek Academy's Inner Courtyard. Her martial soul is the rare elemental martial soul, Ice, and she is a Control System Soul Master."

"As for what exactly Wei Na has, I won't say, or she'll sulk with me later."

Wei Na, who had been waiting for Lin Wan'er to introduce her noble background and Twin Martial Souls, immediately refused to stand for it.

This holder of Twin Martial Souls, the treasured pearl of the Heaven Dou Empire, wore a goose-yellow gown and looked exceptionally delicate. Gentle ripples shimmered in her lovely eyes, and even from a distance, one could sense the faint tenderness surrounding her.

Her beauty even surpassed that of Tang Ya, the Tang Sect Leader, whom Huo Yuhao had met before.

"Sister Wan'er, that's not very fair, is it? Why introduce Ling Luochen but not me? Am I not worthy?"

Lin Wan'er smiled. "If we really must put it that way, the entire Heaven Soul Sect, young and old alike, relies on the Empire for food and clothing. How could I dare take the initiative to introduce the Empire's treasured pearl to someone else?"

Upon hearing Sister Wan'er's praise, Wei Na's dissatisfied expression returned to normal. She sized up Huo Yuhao, who possessed an aristocratic air but dressed even more plainly than a commoner Soul Master. Lifting the hem of her skirt, she began introducing herself.

"I am a princess of the Heaven Dou Empire, as well as the Holy Maiden of the Body Sect. You may call me Wei Na, or Sister Wei Na."

Coming to his senses, Huo Yuhao hurriedly introduced himself. "My name is Huo Yuhao. I'm eleven years old. I was once a citizen of the Star Luo Empire. My martial soul is the Spirit Eye, and my Soul Power is rank thirteen."

His naive manner of speaking made the sharp-eyed people present immediately realize that the boy Lin Wan'er had brought back no longer wished to call himself a citizen of the Star Luo Empire. When he mentioned that nation, a shadow clouded his clear blue eyes.

Although that shadow vanished in an instant, everyone present saw it and committed it to memory.

"Then you have a Body Martial Soul, don't you? Could you let big sister take a look?"

Because Lin Wan'er had altered the continent's overall situation, Wei Na had truly become a carefree princess in this life, with no need to worry about her nation or its people.

Thus, during one of her soul ring acquisitions, members of the Body Sect noticed her when she revealed her Body Martial Soul.

Not long after she returned, people from the Body Sect came to the imperial family to demand her.

At the time, the Heaven Dou Empire had established ties with the independent Heaven Soul Sect, but the relationship between them was not as deep as outsiders believed. As a result, her elder brother had nearly handed her over to the Body Sect in exchange for what little dignity the imperial family had left.

But by sheer coincidence, Yi Lisi, who had traveled the continent for many years and devoured quite a number of Evil Soul Masters and utterly wicked people, happened to pass through that place.

Under the Heavenly Net she laid out, not only were the Body Sect's people beaten back, but even their newly established sect was dismantled by Lin Wan'er and the Ferocious Beasts. It officially became a reclusive great sect with one sect, two systems.

Tomorrow's follow-up reading is extremely important. The update will still be at midnight, so I specially added an extra chapter! This will determine whether I can continue getting recommendations afterward, qwq. The earlier settings are being revised.
