Everything that happened in the Divine Realm was naturally something that Shen Han Yu and the Snow Emperor could not fully perceive.
At this moment.
On the top-floor terrace of the Rose Hotel in Suotuo City.
The Snow Emperor was currently lounging lazily on Shen Han Yu's lap, flipping through a magazine. One of Shen Han Yu's hands rested on the Snow Emperor's soft and delicate jade legs, gently caressing them, while his other hand wrapped around the Snow Emperor's slender waist.
The bustling noise from below made the Snow Emperor furrow her brows slightly. She very much disliked having her rare moments of peace disturbed.
Shen Han Yu gently lifted the Snow Emperor and placed her on a nearby sun lounger. He then picked up a pair of silver high heels from the side and skillfully put them on for the Snow Emperor.
The two stood in front of the iron railing on the terrace. A warm breeze blew past, bringing a sense of leisure and comfort.
Not far below on the street, Shen Liuyu, who had been chatting with Shui Bing'er, suddenly felt an itch in her nose. Feeling somewhat uncomfortable, she rubbed her nose and said:
"I somehow feel like my brother is watching me from somewhere. This feeling is so familiar…"
Hearing this, Shui Bing'er beside her gently patted Shen Liuyu's shoulder and said softly:
"We've been out for so long; there must be someone following us to handle the major troubles. Whether it's your brother or not, we don't know. But right now, what we need to consider is how to handle acquiring spirit rings afterward…"
The other girls nearby also nodded one after another, indicating their agreement.
Shen Liuyu sighed helplessly and said:
"Don't bring up this matter. For the past two years, we've been fighting every day or scheming against those people with ulterior motives. I'm exhausted to death. Finally, managing to leave the border and return to a city on the mainland, and you're already thinking about hunting spirits. Can't we just rest properly for a while…"
Standing to the side, Xue Wu brushed aside the strands of hair on her forehead, stepped forward, and patted Shen Liuyu's shoulder with some helplessness, saying:
"Do you still remember what happened the last time we said we wanted to rest? It's not that we don't want to; the situation simply makes it…"
By the end, Xue Wu didn't even know what else to say.
Shen Liuyu's thoughts slowly drifted back to a certain day a year ago.
That day, their group had just arrived at a scenic lakeside, planning to relax and slack off by the lake for a few days. But that very night, while they were gathered around a campfire grilling and unwinding, three waves of spirit beast attacks came in succession throughout the night, and all of them were the most disgusting types, like toads, scorpions, spiders, and centipedes. From then on, the idea of secretly slacking off was basically extinguished. It was obvious that someone didn't want them to stop.
As for Lan Fozi, the combat power ceiling of their group, she adhered to the pattern of disappearing when there was trouble and reappearing when there wasn't, jumping back and forth. Aside from occasionally comforting everyone with a few words, she generally just played around or ran off with the team and absolutely refused to get involved in any problems.
Shen Liuyu nodded somewhat dejectedly, then said:
"Fine then. So what's our arrangement here? A big group fights? Getting surrounded and beaten? Or being inexplicably chased and killed…"
The words didn't quite sound like she was asking the others, but everyone still let out a soft sigh.
Shui Bing'er took out a map, glanced at it briefly, and said:
"Suotuo City doesn't have any powerful spirit master factions. The only somewhat famous one is probably the Great Soul Fighting Arena here…"
Shen Liuyu barely mustered some energy. She gave Shui Yue'er's butt a hard slap and said:
"Then let's fight! After the fight, this lady is definitely going to eat a big meal and recover properly. Let's do this, sisters!"
Shui Yue'er let out a sharp cry, then her little face turned red. Somewhat annoyed, she pounced toward Shen Liuyu…
...
Suotuo City Great Soul Fighting Arena.
The person in charge of the Great Soul Fighting Arena was trembling as he looked at the eight girls in front of him, each with their own unique charm. He swallowed hard, his voice quivering as he said:
"What the several young ladies mean is… You want me to help find opponents?"
Shui Bing'er nodded and said softly:
"Yes. As long as they are powerhouses below the Spirit Emperor level, no age restrictions, and the number is controlled to seven or fewer, it's fine. We will probably stay here for a few days. We'll trouble Manager Ao to help arrange suitable opponents…"
Manager Ao nodded repeatedly and said:
"Rest assured, young ladies. For the next few days, you can stay temporarily in the VIP rooms specially provided by our Great Soul Fighting Arena. I'll go down right now to arrange and scout suitable opponents for you…"
…
After waiting for Manager Ao to leave the room, another middle-aged man nearby quickly stepped forward and said:
"Manager, who are those inside?"
Manager Ao made a shushing gesture, then pulled the middle-aged man aside and said in a low voice:
"Those young ladies are all disciples of Skywater Academy. Two of them are the personal nieces of Ice Luan, and another is the biological younger sister of that Cold Heaven Douluo. The rest are all top geniuses of Skywater Academy without exception. Ever since they announced two years ago that they were going out to train across the continent, their whereabouts have been elusive. I never expected they would come to our Suotuo City now…"
The middle-aged man was shocked, then slowly calmed down and said:
"Then, Manager, how should we handle this matter…"
Manager Ao lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then said:
"Spread the news. Also, go notify the City Lord. Tell the subordinates to handle things quickly and neatly. Whoever dares to slack off or play tricks, I guarantee he won't have a good outcome…"
The middle-aged man respectfully agreed, then turned and jogged away…
Manager Ao called over a few maids and gave them some more instructions, then hurriedly left the hall…
...
Shrek Academy.
At this time, the sky had gradually darkened. Led by Tang San and Dai Mubai, the seven had just finished the so-called "devil" training arranged by the Grandmaster and entered the so-called cafeteria to prepare for dinner.
Dai Mubai, at the front, took a large basin of steamed buns and a bucket of rice porridge from Shao Xin, who served as both academy teacher and cook, and placed them in front of everyone.
Ma Hongjun let out a wail, then said somewhat discontentedly:
"Teacher Shao, why is it rice porridge and steamed buns again? This is already the umpteenth time this month we've eaten this stuff. We train so hard every day, can't we at least eat something better…"
Shao Xin was equally helpless and said:
"You still don't know what our academy is like? Being able to provide three meals a day is already very difficult, let alone the fact that Grandmaster has been constantly buying training equipment lately. Flender is so worried his feathers are about to fall out completely…"
Tang San and Xiao Wu sat to the side somewhat helplessly. Ning Rongrong sat next to the baby-faced giant Zhu Zhuqing. Although they said nothing, the strange look in their eyes could not be hidden.
Dai Mubai patted Ma Hongjun's shoulder, sighed, and said:
"Enough, Fatty. You know the Dean's stingy personality. It's already good enough that he adds an egg to your breakfast every day. If you ask for more, he'll start nagging about how hard things are for him again…"
Ma Hongjun took a bite of the steamed bun and said:
"Dai Boss, I'm not trying to complain, but ever since that Grandmaster arrived, we've been running and training every day, but the result? Not only has our cultivation speed not increased, but it's even slower, and we can barely eat enough every day. What kind of situation is this…"
Dai Mubai stuffed a steamed bun into Ma Hongjun's mouth, then shot him a look to stop talking. Ma Hongjun suddenly remembered Tang San was right there, gave an awkward laugh, and buried his head to eat.
Dai Mubai looked toward Tang San, then said somewhat helplessly:
"Little San, Fatty has a straightforward personality, you know that. It's just that the intensity of our training and the nutrition we can replenish every day aren't matching up, and the results… Sigh, don't blame the brothers for saying this. It's mainly that the difference between what Grandmaster described and reality is really too big, this…"
