A Woman with a Figure and Temper Both as Fiery

The afternoon sunlight sprawled lazily across the room. Jun Lin rubbed his forehead hard. "Heh, there wasn't even any sweat, but I still had to put on an act!" Letting out a long breath, he had finally managed to coax Ah Yin back into a good mood after plenty of cajoling and sweet-talking.

He plopped down into the chair, then slumped there like a deflated balloon, his legs twitching aimlessly a few times.

His emotions gushed forth like a fountain, and he launched into full-blown internal rant mode:

"Dating Ah Yin alone and dating Ah Yin while building a harem are two completely different concepts. They're like Mars crashing into Earth—two entirely unrelated things!"

"When it's just you and Ah Yin dating, she can be as gentle as gentle gets, as kind as kind gets. She'd practically want to give you her whole heart."

"Tang Hao in the original story got to enjoy that treatment. That's why so many readers in my previous life said the original Ah Yin was far better than Bibi Dong."

Well, that wasn't entirely wrong. Jun himself was living proof.

But if you started a harem while dating her, then you were asking for trouble.

The once-pure, kind, and gentle Ah Yin was nowhere to be found. It was as if she had become another person, prone to losing her temper.

"It's like a girlfriend who dresses herself to the nines every time she goes on a date with you. Whenever you meet, she looks like she stepped right out of a fashion magazine and makes your eyes light up."

"But once you get married? Everything changes. Her true colors come out. She stops caring about her appearance, throws on whatever clothes she finds, doesn't bother with her hair, and just wanders around the house all day. Sigh, the difference is way too huge."

Jun Lin silently complained to himself and made up his mind. From now on, he absolutely had to watch his mouth. He would never make the same mistake he had made that morning again.

Fortunately, the three of them truly loved one another and never relied on empty sweet talk.

The three of them getting along harmoniously was the best example of that.

Ah Yin's slip-up this time, meanwhile, was a lesson written in blood.

It proved that even if a woman verbally agreed to you having a harem, she would still get jealous.

Jun Lin sighed helplessly. "Sure enough, a woman's heart is as unfathomable as the ocean floor. Even if she agrees to him having a harem, that jealousy still pops up from time to time. I'll have to be even more careful from now on. Otherwise, not only will the harem fail, I'll make Ah Yin even unhappier."

While Ah Yin was still changing, Jun Lin opened the rewards he had received earlier for completing the lists.

The first—50,000 shop points x1

The second—1 Soul Ring Age Increase Card (limited to ten-thousand-year soul rings)

And Ning Fengzhi's reward from three years ago:

The first—100,000 Gold Soul Coins x1, along with various daily supplies

The second—1 Soul Bone Pack, containing three soul bones

They were left and right leg bones, as well as a right arm bone. All were ten-thousand-year soul bones.

Overall, they were fairly decent. The daily supplies saved him a lot of trouble.

For example, using Heaven Dou City as a supply point along with those daily supplies had allowed the three of them to live at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for several years.

The 100,000 Gold Soul Coins had also covered their living expenses for the foreseeable future.

It was just a pity that he could no longer go to the Spirit Hall Branch to keep collecting free Gold Soul Coins. (PS: Soul Master subsidy)

Jun Lin shook his head. It wasn't that the rewards were bad. It was just that, to him, they were too good to throw away but too bland to be useful.

They were truly rather tasteless, and could only be saved for the future, when he established his own faction and could give them to others.

As for the soul rings and soul bones of Jun Lin and the other two, they naturally used hundred-thousand-year ones.

As for million-year soul rings and soul bones, Jun Lin looked at that "small target" price in the shop... emmm, he couldn't afford it.

"Speaking of which, it's time to visit Heaven Dou City and see what's going on."

Jun Lin sighed inwardly, recalling certain events from three years ago, when he had encountered Ning Fengzhi in Sunset Forest.

"Dong Liu, the Supreme Elder of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. A level ninety-six Peak Douluo, bearing the title 'Spear.'"

Then he thought of Ning Fengzhi's first wish list at the time... It was not hard to see...

Dong Liu, this "Spear Douluo," did not have long to live.

Every Titled Douluo generally had a lifespan of at least two hundred years. Some lived several centuries, while level ninety-nine Peerless Douluo could live for a thousand years.

Of course, injuries from battle or certain "accidents" could shorten that lifespan.

Clearly, Dong Liu, a Peak Douluo still in his prime, could not possibly be nearing death because of some "minor accident."

So it was obvious that this was the result of fighting someone.

In an era before Tang San had even been born, someone capable of beating a level ninety-six, assault-type Peak Douluo into such a state...

It was not hard to guess. Other than Bo Saixi of Sea God Island, it had to be Qian Daoliu or Tang Chen.

Those three were all level ninety-nine Peerless Douluo.

They represented the strongest humans on the current Douluo Continent.

At this point in time, even Golden Crocodile of the Worship Hall was probably only level ninety-seven.

That was also why he had remained at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, continuing his arduous cultivation.

Although Sister Linglong had broken through to level ninety-six during these past three years, they still had to keep a low profile.

After all, a level ninety-six Peak Douluo fighting a level ninety-nine Peerless Douluo was a guaranteed death sentence.

That afternoon, deep within Sunset Forest.

A woman around eighteen or nineteen years old, with delicate and refined features, appeared there in tight leather clothing, looking valiant and spirited.

The leather outfit perfectly outlined her curvaceous figure, yet it could not conceal the sharp, chilling aura she exuded.

However, her pretty face was currently covered in frost. She was clearly furious.

"I've told you countless times, I can protect myself. I don't need you people meddling in my affairs. Get as far away from me as possible. I don't need that man's charity."

Her identity was none other than one of the original Golden Triangle Love Affair, the Female Tyrannosaurus, Liu Erlong.

Behind her stood an elderly man in gray robes, his expression steady and his aura restrained.

This gray-robed elder had been sent by the "that man" Liu Erlong spoke of to help her hunt her soul ring. He frowned slightly as he watched the fuming Liu Erlong, sighing inwardly.

He knew this young lady's temper well. Once she got angry, she was not easy to placate. Yet he did not dare say much. He merely stood quietly to the side, his voice low but respectful. "Miss, my mission is to escort you back to the academy, or home, after helping you obtain your fourth soul ring."

After saying that, he did not forget to add, "This is your father's order."

At the mention of the word "father," Liu Erlong's eyes reddened. All the grievances in her heart seemed to erupt at that very moment. She turned and glared furiously at the gray-robed elder, roaring in rage:

"Father... Father... That bastard again! I graduated from the academy long ago. And as for home, where do I even have a home? If he truly cared about me that much, he wouldn't have dared to act without taking responsibility back then, and my mother wouldn't have died consumed by sorrow..."

Her heart was filled with resentment toward this so-called father, solely because he had been utterly irresponsible toward her mother.

Back then, her father had been an aristocrat of the Upper Three Sects, with a noble status and immense prestige.

Her mother, however, had been a courtesan. Though she possessed breathtaking beauty and a kind, gentle heart, she had suffered discrimination because of her background.

When they had fallen in love, they had shared happy times. But in the end, under pressure from his family and the judgment of society, her father had failed to shoulder the responsibility he should have. He left her mother to endure pain and loneliness alone through the long years, until she finally died consumed by sorrow.

Whenever Liu Erlong thought of her mother's resentful eyes and lonely figure, she could not suppress the anger in her heart.
