A Night Out in Suotuo City, Debts of Romance
Ever since he revealed his identity and displayed his extraordinary talent, Flender, out of concern, had instructed him to stay in the academy and not go out.
Today, he said he was going to Suotuo City, and Flender agreed without objection. Dai Mubai immediately guessed that Flender had sent someone to secretly follow and protect him.
He originally thought that the person secretly protecting him was Flender, after all, Flender had the highest cultivation level and the strongest strength, and the Owl Martial Soul had the ability to fly, and the Cat Owl flew silently, making it extremely stealthy.
And Flender was also most concerned about his safety.
He never expected that the person secretly following and protecting him would be Lu Qibin.
However, considering the unspoken agreement Lu Qibin and he had made, Dai Mubai understood that the other party wanted to observe him more closely.
While he needed Lu Qibin's help, Lu Qibin also needed his assistance.
But Lu Qibin understood the consequences of failing to choose sides in the competition for the throne among the princes of the Star Luo Imperial Family royal family better than anyone else.
It's understandable that Lu Qibin wants to further evaluate and observe him right now.
However, he has just received a notification from the system that his favorability rating has increased, which means that Lu Qibin's opinion of him has improved considerably.
Dai Mubai dares not make any definitive statements about other aspects, but Lu Qibin should still recognize his talent.
Thinking of this, Dai Mubai felt a little happier and stopped being distracted by these trivial matters, since he had important business to attend to in Suotuo City tonight.
I tidied up my wind-blown hair and clothes a little.
Then Dai Mubai also emerged from the woods, came to the main road, and entered the city along the official road leading into the city, joining the flow of people entering the city and entering Suotuo City.
What's in here?
"Sir, these are the medicinal herbs I dug up, dried, and I'm taking them to town to sell."
"Okay, no problem, let's go in."
"Yes, thank you, sir."
What are you carrying in this truck?
"Reporting to the general, I do business with the Wafting Fragrance Pavilion in the west of the city. I collect wild game and mountain products and then supply them to the Wafting Fragrance Pavilion."
"Oh, really? Let me check."
"Sir, you've worked hard. This is a small token of my respect for you, for your tea."
"You're on the right track. Go inside."
"Yes, yes... Thank you, sir."
Suotuo City, as the granary of the Balak Kingdom, is the largest city on the Lima Plain. Although it is not even as prosperous as some third- or fourth-tier cities in modern society, it is actually a very prosperous city in the Douluo Continent.
Even as dusk approached, many people were still queuing at the city gate to enter the city, which gives us a glimpse into the situation.
Seeing that Dai Mubai was neatly dressed and had an extraordinary demeanor, the shrewd city gate guards did not approach him for questioning, nor did they dare to try to extort money from him like they would from other small vendors. They respectfully watched Dai Mubai enter the city.

Night fell over this bustling city, a blend of ancient Chinese and Western styles, and the crescent moon cast a soft, silvery glow, draping the market in a dreamlike veil.
"Grandpa, come and have some fun!"
"Come on, grandpa!"
"..."
Colorful lanterns hanging from the multi-story pavilions swayed gently, their dim light mingling with the moonlight, illuminating the market in a dreamlike atmosphere.
"Good..."
"Hiss..."
"Smack..."
"Smack..."
Street performers put on a lively show, drawing cheers from the crowd. A sword swallower slowly inserted a long sword into his throat, causing the surrounding audience to gasp in shock before erupting in enthusiastic applause.
Not far away, a stuntman's small ball flew rapidly through the air and into the palm of his hand, dazzling the eyes.
In the center of the market, spice stalls exude exotic aromas, with precious spices such as pepper, cinnamon, and cardamom neatly arranged, attracting customers from all directions.
The stall owner enthusiastically greeted customers, introducing the unique flavors and amazing effects of the spices.
The aroma of freshly baked bread wafted from the bakery next door; the tempting colors of the freshly baked rye bread and croissants attracted passersby to stop and buy.
The tavern was packed with people, the aroma of malt liquor and wine filling the air. People sat together, sharing their day's experiences, their laughter echoing throughout.
The bard played the lute and sang ancient songs, the melodious tunes adding a touch of romance to the tavern.
Among the bustling crowd were nobles in gorgeous attire as well as ordinary people.
People strolled among the stalls, selecting their favorite items, the sounds of bargaining rising and falling. Children laughed and played in the crowd, clutching the candies or toys they had just bought tightly in their hands.
In this bustling night market, people from all walks of life gather together to enjoy this brief but wonderful time, filling the city's night with vitality and energy.
This is Suotuo City at night.
After entering Suotuo City, Dai Mubai first went to some high-end entertainment venues such as [Miya Bar, Nighttime Lover, Rose Hotel, etc.] to settle his bills and cancel or renew his long-term reservations for private rooms.
He gave each of his former 'girlfriends' a sum of Gold Soul Coin to send them away.
These are all romantic entanglements left over from the original owner's previous period of depression, decadence, and indulgence. In a few days, Shrek Academy will be relocating to Tuosuo City.
He's about to leave, and all these things need to be taken care of.
Fortunately, these matters are not complicated, and the relationships are not purely platonic; they can all be resolved by spending some Gold Soul Coin.
After Dai Mubai sorted out and dealt with all these trivial matters...
Dai Mubai wandered alone through the streets of Suotuo City, strolling through the bustling market.
Today's trip to Suotuo City, whether it's romantic entanglements or business matters, are really just some minor things that I can deal with casually.
He came to Suotuo City tonight because he has important business to attend to.
This matter concerns the completion and Martial Soul of his First Martial Soul, [Evil Eye White Tiger].
Although the Evil Eye White Tiger Martial Soul is already classified as a Super Martial Soul, ranking among the top five in the entire Douluo Continent, it is more than sufficient for now.
Moreover, he possesses Twin Martial Souls.
Besides his First Martial Soul Evil Eye White Tiger Martial Soul, he also has his Second Martial Soul, the Demonic Weapon Tiger Soul.
It can be said that completing and upgrading the Evil Eye White Tiger Martial Soul to the God-level Martial Soul Evil-Eyed White Tiger Holy King is not an urgent matter.
But right now, Dai Mubai urgently needs to improve his strength, so he is focusing on both Soul Power cultivation and Soul Skill training.
Furthermore, completing and upgrading one's Martial Soul can enhance and improve his strength, and do so by a great extent.
Given this situation, how could Dai Mubai possibly leave it unattended?
Moreover, even though he's not in a hurry to complete his Martial Soul right now, he still needs to organize his thoughts and make some preparations beforehand regarding the completion and advancement of the Evil Eye White Tiger Martial Soul.
After all, completing and advancing the Evil Eye White Tiger Martial Soul is a huge undertaking.
Although he already knew that as long as he absorbed enough power from the "Seven Deadly Sins and Seven Virtues," the Evil Eye White Tiger Martial Soul could complete its advancement and transformation.
But how and where to obtain the power of the "Seven Deadly Sins and Seven Virtues" is a big question.
