Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 277 Favorability Soars

After Ji Lin stored the pieces of Ice Extreme God Crystal into his storage soul tool, the temperature inside the cave began to rise noticeably. The surrounding stone walls were also layered with crystals, looking like large ice shards, and were quite hard, but still far less so than the Ice Extreme God Crystal.

Finally, after Ji Lin put the last piece of Ice Extreme God Crystal into his storage soul tool, he only felt the sound of flowing water coming from behind him.

He looked back and saw the spring water, which had been blocked out, rushing towards him.

Without the magical power contained within the Ice Crystal protecting it, and with the entrance still open, the icy spring water outside finally rushed in.

However, this little bit of spring water couldn't stop Ji Lin. He dove down and swam away.

Shrek City.

No matter the time, Shrek City always appears prosperous. The city is densely populated, and the shops lining both sides of the streets are all doing exceptionally well.

As one of the most important trading centers on the continent, Shrek City's thriving commerce has always been Shrek Academy's most important source of income.

Within Shrek City, every inch of land is incredibly valuable.

Ji Lin arrived at a courtyard near Shrek Academy in Shrek City with Nana, Nan Qiuqiu, and Ye Guyi.

The three-story courtyard, with its vermilion walls standing over two zhang high, extends for nearly a hundred meters towards the street.

The main gate is three zhang high, with a huge plaque hanging above it. The three large, gilded characters "Zizai Men" (Gate of Freedom) are prominently displayed on it.

After Ji Lin finished mining the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal, he bid farewell to Nan Shuishui and returned to Shrek City with Nan Qiuqiu, Nana, Meng Hongchen, Ye Guyi, and Ling Luochen.

Ling Luochen and Meng Hongchen had already returned to the academy, while Ji Lin brought Ye Guyi and the other two to report from the sect.

Although it was called a report, there weren't many people at the Zizaimen branch in Shrek City. Zhou Sichen, Lan Susu, the Lan Luoluo sisters, and others were all in the academy. Usually, only Xiaobai and Chiyuan stayed at the Zizaimen branch, and this time, only Xiaobai was left.

The front yard of Zizai Gate is very large, with side rooms on both sides, and there is not much decoration.

Chi Yuan had already returned to Zizai Gate, while Xiao Bai had disappeared somewhere, probably participating in a big eater competition in the food street.

Ji Lin said to Ye Guyi and the other two, "The Zizai Sect's branch in Shrek City has very few people. Most of the disciples are studying at Shrek Academy. Usually, only Teacher Chi Yuan and Xiao Bai are here. As for Xiao Bai, you can get to know him when he returns. The main branch of the Zizai Sect is in Xingluo City, where there are more disciples. It is usually managed by the deputy sect leader. You should all know Teacher Chi Yuan, right? If you have any questions about cultivation, you can ask Teacher Chi Yuan. She won't refuse you."

After saying that, Ji Lin looked at Ye Guyi and said, "We have another disciple with the Angel Martial Soul in our Zizai Sect headquarters. However, she is a two-winged angel, not as good as your Holy Angel. She is also a few years older than you. Her name is Yu Mengdi. I believe you will have something in common with her."

Upon hearing this, Ye Guyi's eyes lit up. She had always wandered alone, and this was the first time she had met someone who also possessed the Angelic Martial Soul. Going back a few generations, they might even be related by blood.

Ji Lin said to Nan Qiuqiu, "Aunt Nan will probably bring some Earth Dragon Sect disciples to Shrek City to establish a branch in a while. I will have someone buy the houses next door to use as the Earth Dragon Sect's branch base. Then they will be handed over to you to manage."

Nan Qiuqiu patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, no disciple of the Earth Dragon Sect dares to disrespect me. I guarantee they'll be completely obedient and won't cause you any trouble."

Ji Lin said irritably, "I'm not afraid of them causing trouble, I'm afraid of you causing trouble."

Nan Qiuqiu puffed out her cheeks unhappily and said, "Neither you nor Mom believe me. How could such a gentle and lovely girl like me cause trouble!"

Ji Lin rolled her eyes. The cute girl was real, but gentleness was something that had nothing to do with Nan Qiuqiu.

Ji Lin said to Nana and Ye Guyi, "I'll trouble you two to keep an eye on her. Shrek City is one of the most important trading centers on the continent, and anyone you pick out here has a significant background. Although we're not afraid, it's better to avoid trouble."

Nan Qiuqiu glared angrily at Ji Lin, shook off Ye Guyi's hand, and said in a spoiled tone, "Sister Guyi, look, he's bullying me."

Ye Guyi smiled, touched Nan Qiuqiu's pink hair, and didn't say anything. For some reason, she especially liked Nan Qiuqiu, this simple and straightforward girl. Her affection for her had skyrocketed after spending time together.

Nan Qiuqiu also likes to be close to Ye Guyi.

However, Nan Qiuqiu and Nana also have a good relationship. However, because Ye Guyi helped her parents get rid of their troubles, Nana always puts herself below Ye Guyi and usually treats Ye Guyi with great respect, which makes Ye Guyi feel helpless.

Ji Lin smiled and said, "You can stay here for the next two years. After I graduate from Shrek Academy's inner court in two years, I will take you back to the Zizai Sect headquarters."

After settling Ye Guyi and the other two, Ji Lin returned to Shrek Academy and immediately submitted the mission.

Han Ruoruo was still guarding the Surveillance Pavilion. She was not surprised by Ji Lin's arrival, because Ling Luochen and Meng Hongchen had already returned to hand in their missions. Ji Lin was the last one.

Meng Hongchen and Ling Luochen had already submitted the task in advance, saving Ji Lin a lot of trouble. Without lingering in the Surveillance Pavilion, Ji Lin went straight back to his house.

He heard from Han Ruoruo that Wang Qiu'er, Xiao Xiao, and Wang'er had also completed their mission and returned to Shrek Academy.

Ji Lin hadn't seen Wang Qiu'er for a while and missed her.

Pushing open the door, Wang Qiu'er was indeed in the room.

Ji Lin smiled and took a few steps forward to give Wang Qiu'er a hug.

Just as Wang Qiu'er was about to speak, Ji Lin silenced her with a kiss. Gradually, Wang Qiu'er's body went limp, and she wrapped her arms around Ji Lin's neck, beginning to respond to his kiss.

Ji Lin only released Wang Qiu'er when she was almost out of breath. Looking at Wang Qiu'er's flushed face, Ji Lin smiled and asked, "Qiu'er, how did the mission go? Did you encounter any danger?"

Wang Qiu'er took a breath before replying, "What danger could there be? He's just a minor nobleman who bullied ordinary people and crossed the line. It's not like you, whose target is some kind of evil spirit master."

Ji Lin chuckled awkwardly, "You know."

Wang Qiu'er narrowed her eyes and said, "I can let the matter of the evil soul master go, I believe in your strength, but why are your teammates Meng Hongchen and Ling Luochen?"
