Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 272 Sneaking Around

Nan Shuishui's expression was strange. Based on her experience, Ji Lin was not an honest man. He was obviously a womanizer with a lot of girls around him. If Nan Qiuqiu really offered herself to him, Ji Lin might not refuse.

Nan Shuishui sighed and said, "Qiuqiu, after this incident, I've realized that the continent is about to fall apart. With that person's strength, he's only a third elder in the Holy Spirit Cult. There are definitely people stronger than him in the Holy Spirit Cult, and quite a few at that. The fact that the Sun Moon Empire's higher-ups are willing to risk being scorned by the entire continent to cooperate with the Holy Spirit Cult clearly means that the Holy Spirit Cult can bring greater benefits to the Sun Moon Empire. So the Sun Moon Empire's purpose is self-evident. Although I don't know how long this peace can last, war is coming soon. During peacetime, our Earth Dragon Gate can develop slowly in Dragon City, but once war comes, with our Earth Dragon Gate's strength, we simply cannot protect ourselves. Only by finding a powerful backer can we safely weather the war."

"Ji Lin's teacher is very strong. He's a Title Douluo-level evil soul master and a level nine soul master. Even ordinary Super Douluos can't easily defeat him, but he was powerless against Ji Lin's teacher, suffering a humiliating and laughable defeat. I'm sure Ji Lin's teacher isn't an ordinary Super Douluo; he might even be a legendary Limit Douluo. Ji Lin's talent is also incredibly strong. I have high hopes for the future of the Freedom Sect, which is why Mother agreed to let you join. It's all to leave a way out for our Earth Dragon Sect. Mother is ready to place her bet in advance."

Nan Qiuqiu exclaimed in surprise, "Mom, you're not serious, are you? You're really going to give up the family business and join the Zizai Sect?"

Nan Shuishui snorted and said, "Your mother isn't that foolish. What I mean by merging isn't a complete integration. I just want to send most of your outstanding disciples to the Zizai Sect, using the sect's power to protect and nurture you. It's like the Earth Dragon Sect becoming a subordinate sect of the Zizai Sect. This is the direction for the future development of our Earth Dragon Sect, and only then can we obtain enough benefits and make the Earth Dragon Sect even stronger."

Nan Qiuqiu's eyes widened. "Mom, are you running a fever? We received a favor from them, not the other way around. I feel like you're..."

Nan Shui Shuidao: "Let me finish what I have to say. What we just said has a major premise, and that premise is mutual benefit. Only when feelings are combined with mutual benefit can things last. Didn't I say that I would give Ji Lin a gift tomorrow? This gift is the bridge for us to deepen our relationship with the Zizai Sect. We were saved by Ji Lin and his group, and we owe them a great favor. Of course, we have to repay them. In our Dilong Sect, we have always kept a great secret. As long as we give this secret to Ji Lin, the relationship between our Dilong Sect and the Zizai Sect will naturally fall into place."

"A big secret? How come I didn't know?" Nan Qiuqiu looked at Nan Shuishui with a curious expression.

Nan Shuishui said irritably, "Nonsense. Since it's a secret, how could so many people know it? Only the sect leaders of each generation are qualified to know this secret."

Nan Qiuqiu moved closer to Nan Shuishui, took her arm, and said, "Mom, look, I'm going to be the future leader of the Earth Dragon Gate, right? You only have one daughter, so it's okay for you to tell me, isn't it? Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. Tell me quickly, you know I'm very curious."

Nan Shuishui glanced at her and said, "You? You've never been able to keep a secret since you were little. Telling you is like telling the whole continent. You'd better behave yourself. When we get to Shrek City, you'd better tone down your temper. This isn't Dragon City."

Nan Qiuqiu pouted, looking dissatisfied.

On the way back to the Rose Hotel, Meng Hongchen hugged Ji Lin's arm and said, "Ji Lin, isn't Qiuqiu cute and pretty? I want to repay her with my body, aren't you happy?"

Ji Lin's lips twitched slightly, and he pinched Meng Hongchen's head tightly with his five fingers. "You better calm down. She just joined the Free Sect. What do you mean by offering herself in return? That's a joke."

"it hurts!"

Meng Hongchen covered her head and said with dissatisfaction, "You invited Qiuqiu to join the Zizai Sect, but you never invited me."

Ji Lin patted the white-furred dumpling and said, "Good boy, it's not the right time yet, but I promise you, sooner or later, I will personally invite you to join the Freedom Sect."

Meng Hongchen finally calmed down, satisfied. She knew that she was different from Nan Qiuqiu and the others, and that her identity was a problem that troubled her.

Ling Luochen looked at Meng Hongchen, who was clinging to Ji Lin, and felt a chill emanating from her. Ye Guyi and Nana subconsciously moved away from her.

However, considering that Meng Hongchen would not be able to join the Zizai Sect and would return to the Sun Moon Empire in a few years, while she would stay by Ji Lin's side, he allowed Meng Hongchen to stick to Ji Lin.

As night falls, the city of Longcheng transforms into a fairyland shrouded in frost. Snowflakes dance in the air like sprites, draping the ancient city in a silvery coat.

The houses lining the street had roofs covered with a thick layer of snow, and icicles hung from the windows, shimmering with a crystalline light. The cold wind howled through the air, as if the snow fairies were whispering.

In her room at the Rose Hotel, Ji Lin sat on the sofa on the balcony, enjoying the beautiful night view of Dragon City.

"Ding-dong."

The doorbell to Ji Lin's room rang.

Ji Lin, who was lost in thought, was startled awake by the doorbell. He knew without a doubt who was ringing his doorbell in the middle of the night.

Ji Lin walked to the door and opened it. A white-haired figure rushed into Ji Lin's arms and closed the door with her slender legs, which were covered in white stockings and high heels.

Meng Hongchen wrapped her fair, jade-like arms around Ji Lin's neck, stood on tiptoe, and eagerly offered her pink lips.

Their lips met, their breathing gradually quickened, and after a long while their lips parted.

Ji Lin looked at Meng Hongchen, who was breathing heavily and whose cheeks were flushed, and said helplessly, "Aren't you afraid of being discovered? Ye Guyi and Nana are fine, but if Sister Luo Chen finds out, she'll definitely fight you to the death. If the two of you start fighting here, it will be very troublesome."

Meng Hongchen breathed slightly and said, "What am I afraid of? She can't beat me anyway. It doesn't matter if she finds out. Although this sneaky feeling is quite exciting, I'd rather see her and Wang Qiu'er break down."

Ji Lin chuckled, "You can't beat Qiu'er. If she finds out, you'll get another beating. Qiu'er won't go easy on you."

Meng Hongchen lifted her white-stockinged legs and rubbed them against Ji Lin's lower body, puffing out her cheeks as she muttered, "Are you really willing to watch me get beaten up by Wang Qiu'er?"

"hiss!"

Ji Lin gasped. Where did Miss Meng learn this trick?

Fuming, Ji Lin scooped Meng Hongchen up in his arms and carried her into the bedroom. The lights went out, music started playing, and the night was still long.
