Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 240 Don't Give Up for Nothing

Ji Lin opened the brocade box and picked up the mission scroll to examine it carefully.

"This mission is for the Heavenly Soul Empire, Dragon City."

Ji Lin paused, then looked at Han Ruoruo and asked, "Senior, can't you pick this up alone?"

"Eh!"

Before Han Ruoruo could reply, Meng Hongchen exclaimed, "Ji Lin, you're going to do the surveillance mission alone? No, that's too dangerous. Let's go together."

Just kidding. She finally found a chance to be alone with Ji Lin, how could she possibly let Ji Lin go out on a mission alone?

Han Ruoruo also shook her head and said, "No, this mission involves an evil soul master, at least an evil soul emperor. Evil soul masters are generally powerful and have strange methods. The academy stipulates that three soul emperors must team up to accept the mission. Although you are not a soul emperor, you are considered a soul emperor in the academy's evaluation and are qualified to accept the mission. But besides you and Meng, you also need to find a teammate."

Ji Lin said helplessly, "Senior, I don't even consider an Evil Soul Emperor a threat."

Han Ruoruo shook her head and said, "I know you're very strong, junior, but ever since that accident before the last Soul Battle Tournament, that evil soul master known as the Death Messenger has made the academy extremely wary of evil soul masters. We can't let you do this mission alone."

Ji Lin said helplessly, "Alright then, let's find a teammate."

Meng Hongchen asked expectantly, "How about just the two of us?"

Han Ruoruo knew exactly what Meng Hongchen was thinking, and immediately shook her head and said, "Rules are rules, three people must go."

"oh!"

Meng Hongchen wilted immediately, like a frostbitten eggplant.

She didn't suggest that her brother, Xiao Hongchen, go on the mission with her. She knew that with Xiao Hongchen's personality, he would definitely hinder her from getting close to Ji Lin. She didn't want to bring someone who would not only not help her but would also get in the way. It would be better to find another teammate, preferably someone easy to talk to, so that she would have enough time and space to win over Ji Lin.

She also wanted to take advantage of this mission to capture Ji Lin in one fell swoop.

Ji Lin thought for a moment, then took out his communication soul tool and sent a message.

Soon, not long after, a graceful figure walked into the Surveillance Pavilion.

Ji Lin smiled and said to Han Ruoruo, "Senior, our third team member has arrived."

Upon seeing who it was, Meng Hongchen's lips twitched. It would have been better to have her older brother come instead!

Ling Luochen approached Ji Lin and whispered, "I'm here."

Ji Lin smiled and handed the quest scroll to Ling Luochen, saying, "Sister Luochen, take a look at the quest."

Ling Luochen took the mission scroll and glanced at it briefly. He frowned. Evil Soul Master! Having experienced the Death Messenger incident, Ling Luochen was extremely wary of Evil Soul Masters.

However, upon seeing that the mission required three people, she subconsciously glanced at Meng Hongchen and said calmly, "Going on the mission with her?"

Meng Hongchen immediately bristled, and said with a coquettish snort, "What, am I not good enough? Someone else is still my defeated opponent."

Ling Luochen's eyes narrowed, and a chill emanated from him. Meng Hongchen was not to be outdone, and she put her hands on her hips, confronting Ling Luochen head-on.

Ji Lin quickly stepped between the two to smooth things over, saying, "Alright, alright, we still have a mission to do together. You two calm down. The mission is dangerous, and the opponent is an evil soul master. If you can't put aside your differences and cooperate, I'll have someone else join me on the mission."

Ji Lin's last words were a decisive blow. Meng Hongchen and Ling Luochen immediately became obedient, nodding to show that they would put aside their differences and cooperate sincerely.

Han Ruoruo, who was watching the show, covered her mouth and chuckled. Seeing that Ji Lin had quickly gotten the two women under his control, Han Ruoruo had to admire him. He was indeed a man who had won over Le Xuan. It was not easy to see him make a fool of himself.

Seeing that the two girls had calmed down, Ji Lin rubbed his temples with a headache and said to Han Ruoruo, "Then, Senior Sister Han, we'll go do our mission now. Goodbye for now."

"Yes! Be careful, your opponent is an evil spirit master. Although you are all very talented, you must not be careless."

"Understood, thank you for your advice, senior. We will definitely be careful."

Han Ruoruo watched as Ling Luochen and Meng Hongchen each left the Surveillance Pavilion with one arm around Ji Lin's arm. Her expression was full of envy, and she sighed, "Alas! I wonder when I will find my true love."

Ji Lin and the other two returned to their respective residences to pack their luggage. The location of this mission was Dragon City of the Heavenly Soul Empire. Evil Soul Masters were particularly good at hiding, and it was unknown how long it would take. It was always good to bring extra things just in case.

"What!? You're going out on a surveillance mission with Ji Lin?"

Xiao Hongchen stared blankly at Meng Hongchen, who was packing her luggage.

Meng Hongchen hummed a little tune and said cheerfully, "Yes, I'm going on a mission with Ji Lin, hehe."

But she quickly pouted and said, "It's a pity there's another eyesore here, ╭(╯^╰)╮hmph."

Xiao Hongchen earnestly advised, "Meng, doing quests is fine, but don't you dare give up! Or maybe you shouldn't go, and I'll take you to do quests instead."

Meng Hongchen glanced at Xiao Hongchen with annoyance and said, "Xiao Hongchen, I've already told you not to get in my way. Grandpa has already agreed to this matter."

Xiao Hongchen exclaimed excitedly, "But Grandpa didn't let you give it away for nothing!"

Meng Hongchen rolled her eyes and said, "Who said I was going to give it away for nothing? Besides, isn't Ling Luochen with me? This is just a mission, why are you thinking so much?"

Xiao Hongchen sighed and said, "Then be careful. Evil Soul Masters are not so easy to deal with. I acknowledge Ji Lin's strength, but it's easy to dodge a spear in the open but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark. Be careful not to get tricked, or I won't be able to explain to Grandpa."

Meng Hongchen packed her luggage into her storage soul tool and even brought several beautiful clothes, including black and white stockings. After spending several months together, Meng Hongchen had already figured out Ji Lin's fetishes. When she wore stockings, Ji Lin looked at her legs much more often than when she wasn't wearing stockings.

After learning this, Meng Hongchen bought a lot of stockings of all kinds, and wore different ones every day to seduce Ji Lin.

That's why her relationship with Ji Lin got better and better. A beautiful girl who can cook, wears all kinds of stockings for you to see, and actively pursues you—few people can resist such temptation.

At least Ji Lin did not refuse.

Soon, the three, fully equipped and ready to go, arrived outside the gates of Shrek City.

All three can use flying soul tools; Meng Hongchen was originally a level six soul master.

Ji Lin glanced at the two women and said, "Our destination this time is Dragon City of the Heavenly Soul Empire. Dragon City is located near the far north, in the northern part of the Heavenly Soul Empire. There are two sects there, namely the Heavenly Dragon Sect and the Earthly Dragon Sect. Time is limited, so let's set off as soon as possible."
