Chapter 140: Soul Girl Wang Dong'er_1

"Moreover, Shrek Academy has dedicated itself for many years to the mission of exterminating evil Soul Masters and maintaining peace in Soul Land.

I wonder how many evil Soul Masters harbor hatred towards us. Now that the situation has changed, they might very well come out and target Shrek Academy without any reservations."

Yan Shaozhe said with a worried expression.

"There shouldn't be too many powerful individuals among the evil Soul Masters, right...?"

"You're wrong there. If there weren't some powerful individuals, how would they dare to scheme against Xuan Zi? And many years ago, I encountered a woman..." Yan Shaozhe started to say but then fell silent.

He recalled the woman named Feng Ling, who had a cultivation level similar to his own many years ago.

Decades had passed, and even among the ranks of the Titled Douluo, she shouldn't be considered weak, right?

"Dean, what are you talking about?"

Yan Shaozhe's voice grew fainter and fainter, until finally, it could hardly be heard. Even Du Weilun, straining his ears, could not make it out.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem, you should ask what you need to ask, and never ask what you shouldn't," Yan Shaozhe said with a blush, followed by a fit of light coughing.

Thinking back, there was indeed a complicated connection between him and Feng Ling in the past.

But the fewer people who knew about this matter, the better.

After all, his reputation in the academy was already not that great.

The one who interfered in a marriage?

The one who flirts and abandons?

As the dean, these were things he absolutely must avoid.

Du Weilun had gotten to where he was not by being a fool. With Yan Shaozhe hinting as much, how could he continue to pry?

That was certainly impossible.

"Dean, if the evil Soul Masters really come, what should we do?"

This was his second major concern.

"This..."

At these words, Yan Shaozhe fell into silence.

The question from Du Weilun struck him like a fatal blow.

If Shrek Academy were to rely solely on its own strength, it might not withstand an attack from the evil Soul Masters.

But if not relying on Shrek, then who?

The Three Great Empires?

If they could unite the forces of the Three Great Empires, they would indeed have nothing to fear. But at this point in time, would the Three Great Empires still follow Shrek Academy's orders unquestioningly, unconditionally?

Yan Shaozhe felt that was wishful thinking.

It would be a relief if the Three Great Empires didn't exploit the situation to demand the benefits they had received from Shrek Academy over the years.

Beyond the Three Great Empires, the next entity Yan Shaozhe thought of was the Body Sect.

Then, a bitter smile played upon his lips.

Yan Shaozhe, oh Yan Shaozhe, have you truly been frightened into stupidity?

Given the relationship between the Body Sect and Shrek Academy, it would be a blessing if they did not meddle and help suppress Shrek Academy when they heard it was about to face powerful enemies.

And yet you still dare hope for aid from the Body Sect?

But if the Three Great Empires were not an option, and the Body Sect was out of the question, was Shrek Academy truly on the brink of decline?

Yan Shaozhe's heart was filled with bitterness.

"Dean, there's something I'm not sure if I should mention..."

Du Weilun hesitated for a moment but still spoke up.

"Just speak your mind. I don't have the time or the mood to guess riddles with you."

"Well..." Du Weilun sorted out his thoughts, "According to the history records of Shrek Academy, Hao Tian Clan had some connections with Shrek Academy, and the key lies with Sea God Tang San of the first-generation Shrek Seven Monsters..."

"So what you're saying is..." Yan Shaozhe asked thoughtfully.

"I was wondering if there's a possibility that we could get help from the Hao Tian Clan... Although they have hidden from the world for many years and don't interact with outsiders, I believe their strength must be significant..."

After Du Weilun finished speaking, he carefully looked at Yan Shaozhe.

Yan Shaozhe's eyes lit up, "That actually is a great idea. Wait here, I'll go find a way to contact Hao Tian Clan right now..."

Watching Yan Shaozhe disappear like the wind, Du Weilun stood there, stunned.

...

In a land encircled by mountains, atop undulating peaks,

stood dense and dusty fortresses.

A huge stone tablet was inscribed with three bold characters: Hao Tian Castle!

There, the Number One Sect in the world, the Hao Tian Clan, has resided since ten thousand years ago.

"Grand-Daddy, Second Daddy, I'm back..."

An excited voice like this came from outside the Sect Main Hall.

The Grand Sect Master Niu Tian and the Second Sect Master Titan in the hall, who were discussing affairs, were startled by the voice.

Instinctively, they looked towards the entrance of the main hall and saw a beautiful girl in a long dress burst into their field of view.

Upon seeing the two of them, the girl also showed a smile, "Grand-Daddy, Second Daddy, did you miss me?"

The Grand Sect Master Niu Tian shook his head with a smile; his eyes filled with affection.

He adored this little Princess very much.

The Second Sect Master Titan shook his head slightly and pretended to be annoyed, "Humph, you don't miss us, so why should we miss you? I'm not so sentimental."

That's what he said, but it wasn't what he thought.

For him, this little Princess was the apple of his eye; he cherished her immensely.

But raising a child is like that, isn't it? One needs to play the tough guy, and the other the soft-hearted.

If both show their willingness to be easygoing and give only smiles, wouldn't she become spoiled?

It must be said, Titan and Niu Tian really played the parts of both mother and father.

"Hehehe, don't be mad, I've brought gifts for both of you this time I'm back," the girl, now known as Wang Dong'er, said with a giggle.

"The best gift for me would be if you could cause less trouble," Titan said, still with a stern look on his face.

However, Niu Tian had a different reaction, "Hehe, don't listen to your Second Daddy's nonsense, come on, show Grand-Daddy what gifts you've brought."

Doting father Niu Tian asked with a chuckle, curiosity twinkling in his eyes.

"Here."

Wang Dong'er said, presenting two small boxes, placing them before the two men.

"Which one is mine?" Though Titan verbally declined, his body language betrayed his honesty.

Once Wang Dong'er presented the gifts, his eyes sparkled with anticipation.

Wang Dong'er said, "Grand-Daddy, Second Daddy, the gifts for both of you are the same. Open them up and take a look."

"Alright, let's see what you've prepared for us," Titan said, without hesitation as he picked up one of the boxes, only to find a... lamp inside?

"If I'm not mistaken, this seems to be a lamp?" Titan stared bewildered at Wang Dong'er.

He was full of expectation, and this was the result?

Wang Dong'er smiled slightly, "Second Daddy, this is no ordinary lamp. This is a brand new generation of soul-guided lamp that I've innovatively designed.

Do you see the switch on it?

The white switch cools down the surroundings by releasing a chill, lowering the room's temperature. The yellow switch repels mosquitoes by emitting a faint electric current, killing all the mosquitoes around the light..."

"As for the red switch... ah, Second Daddy, don't press it!"
