Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 296 Units of Combat Power Measurement

Wang Yan realized he had brought up an awkward topic and quickly changed the subject, saying, "Let's end today's practical lesson here. You can all go back and cultivate."

Wang Yan started to shoo people away. Although the inner court disciples still wanted to stay and watch the excitement, they had no choice but to leave since their teacher had spoken.

Zhou Sichen and the others waved goodbye to Ji Lin.

Only Wang Qiu'er, Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, Ji Lin, Wu Ming, and Wang Yan remained at the scene.

Wang Qiu'er rolled her eyes at Ji Lin, clearly annoyed by the effect of Ji Lin's Ice Rose skill.

Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er looked at Ji Lin with strange expressions, and subconsciously moved a little further away from him. The meaning in their eyes was very clear: "I didn't expect you to be like this, Ji Lin."

Ji Lin felt completely flustered. He quickly explained, "Don't misunderstand. The Ice Rose can release ice vines to bind enemies, but that grows on its own, not something I can control. I didn't do it on purpose."

Ji Lin apologized to Wu Ming, "I'm sorry, Senior Wu Ming, I really didn't mean to, it was just an accident."

Wu Ming's lips twitched. This topic couldn't be avoided, could it? She said helplessly, "For Xiao Tao's sake, I won't hold this against you this time. If it were anyone else, I would have skinned them alive."

Ji Lin's eyes twitched; this woman was truly formidable.

Can't afford it!

Ji Lin turned to Wang Yan with a smile and said, "Teacher Wang Yan, it's been a while. How are things going between you and Auctioneer Qingya?"

Wang Yan blushed and said awkwardly, "It's alright! We're doing fine!"

Ji Lin smiled with satisfaction and said, "Oh! That's good. When can we drink your wedding wine with Auctioneer Qingya?"

Wang Yan froze, stammering, "This...this depends on Qingya's opinion."

Ji Lin smiled slyly. "You always bring up things you don't want to talk about. I'll let you experience this feeling of being humiliated."

Wang Dong'er, who shared the same wicked sense of humor and was just like Ji Lin, couldn't resist joining in and said, "Wow! Are Teacher Wang Yan and Auctioneer Qingya getting married soon? You must let us know when that happens! Don't forget us!"

Wang Yan panicked even more now. Talking about this topic in front of his students made him so embarrassed that he felt like he could dig a three-bedroom, two-living-room house out of his toes.

Seeing Ji Lin and Wang Dong'er start to persecute Teacher Wang Yan, Xiao Xiao and Wang Qiu'er exchanged a helpless glance. These two were always so in sync when it came to messing with people's mentality.

Finally, Teacher Wang Yan couldn't bear the persecution from the two students any longer, so he hurriedly made an excuse to run away. Wu Ming was hit by Ji Lin's Emperor Palm - Great Cold Without Snow. Although he didn't suffer any external injuries, his soul power was severely depleted and his spirit was weak. He also bid farewell and left.

Seeing this, Ji Lin and the other three also left the practical training ground for the inner court disciples.

Ji Lin has broken through to level 60 and is preparing to go out to obtain his sixth spirit ring. He already has a goal, and at the same time, he has also accepted a surveillance mission, intending to complete the mission while obtaining his sixth spirit ring.

After saying goodbye to Wang Qiu'er and the others, Ji Lin left Shrek Academy alone. He did not leave Shrek City immediately, but returned to the Zizai Sect's stronghold in Shrek City, where his bodyguards were still.

Many people have now moved into the courtyard of Zizaimen. In addition to Chiyuan and Xiaobai, there are also Ye Guyi, Nan Qiuqiu, Nana and Gu Yuena. Even Ling Luochen and Xu Jiujiu live here.

Ling Luochen has moved from Poseidon Island to Shrek City to help Ji Lin with the affairs of the Liyue Merchant Guild, and is staying at the Zizai Gate branch. Although she also has a residence in the Liyue Merchant Guild, she doesn't like it there. Xu Jiujiu, on the other hand, has taken on the position of one of the Seven Stars of the Liyue Merchant Guild on behalf of the Star Luo Empire, and will be stationed in Shrek City for the next two years. As for why a princess of a country would take on such a task, it's simply to be closer to Ji Lin. Although the Star Crown Sect is facing a talent shortage, it's not that they're truly short of talent, so they can only send a princess to take on the position of one of the Seven Stars of Liyue.

When Ji Lin arrived at the Zizaimen branch, Shrek City was already shrouded in night. The sky was as dark as ink, dotted with stars, with occasional drifting clouds. The moon hung high, casting a soft, silvery glow. The streetlights along the streets were lit, draping the city in a warm cloak. Ji Lin walked through the bustling streets and arrived at the building housing the Zizaimen branch.

After greeting Chi Yuan, Ji Lin went straight into Xu Jiujiu's room.

Pushing open the door, a stunningly beautiful girl with purple hair and red eyes, wearing a purple dress and black stockings on her long, slender legs, sat on the sofa, flipping through a stack of documents with a serious and focused expression.

Hearing the door open, Xu Jiujiu looked up and saw the white-haired boy enter the room. Xu Jiujiu looked at Ji Lin with a resentful expression and said softly, "You finally decided to come see me. I thought you had completely forgotten about your fiancée."

A hint of apology flashed in Ji Lin's eyes. Xu Jiujiu had always silently supported him from behind, and he had indeed been somewhat disrespectful to his childhood sweetheart and fiancée recently.

Ji Lin stepped forward and sat down next to Xu Jiujiu, gently pulling her into his arms. He said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Sister Jiujiu. I was in seclusion for over a month. Even though I knew you had come to Shrek City, I didn't come to find you right away. It was my fault."

After a long while, he gently stroked Ji Lin's cheek and said softly, "I don't blame you. I know you've been working very hard in your cultivation. I heard from Ling Luochen that you've condensed your soul core. It must have been very difficult for you."

Ji Lin was somewhat moved. Xu Jiujiu had given so much for him, but he couldn't give her all his love in return, nor could he stay by her side all the time. This was indeed a bit unfair to Xu Jiujiu.

But Ji Lin had no choice. However, as long as he could become a god and achieve immortality with Xu Jiujiu, these problems would no longer be problems. He would have plenty of time to make it up to Xu Jiujiu then.

Thinking of this, Ji Lin looked at the purple-haired girl in his arms and found that she was also looking at him with a dreamy gaze.

Ji Lin said softly, "Sister Jiu Jiu, you've been waiting for me for a long time, haven't you?"

Xu Jiujiu was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Ji Lin meant, until she saw the heat and desire in Ji Lin's eyes. After she understood, Xu Jiujiu felt both anticipation and fear.

However, she finally looked directly into Ji Lin's eyes and said softly, "Yes! I've been waiting for you for many years. How much longer will you make me wait?"

Ji Lin picked Xu Jiujiu up in his arms and strode towards the bedroom, whispering, "I won't keep you waiting for another second."

Ji Lin placed Xu Jiujiu on the bed. Xu Jiujiu wrapped her arms around Ji Lin's neck, her eyes glazed over, her cheeks flushed, and her warm breath brushed against Ji Lin's face.

Ji Lin lowered his head and kissed her red lips. Their bodies overlapped, and the atmosphere gradually became romantic and ambiguous. Ji Lin removed Xu Jiujiu's clothes one by one until only her slender legs were covered in black stockings. Ji Lin played with Xu Jiujiu's black stockings, while Xu Jiujiu took the initiative to put her legs on Ji Lin's shoulders. Her hazy eyes, her flushed cheeks, and her snow-white skin gradually turned red.

Faced with the princess's invitation to battle, Ji Lin had no reason to refuse. Although the fighting movements were simple, the rhythm was unpredictable.

Moreover, with the princess humming beautiful and moving songs as accompaniment, Ji Lin was also very happy.

Outside the room, the moon hung high, its surface gleaming. The bright moonlight bathed the earth, its shimmering white points of light exceptionally captivating.

It's like a room where the pure white is like a blooming flower, so fresh and beautiful.

The next day, early in the morning.

As dawn broke over Shrek City, a pale light began to appear, heralding the arrival of a new day. With the passage of time, the sky deepened in color, eventually turning a golden hue under the rising sun. Sunlight bathed the earth, dispelling the chill of the night and bringing warmth and hope. The streets began to bustle with activity as people resumed their daily routines.

Vendors set up their stalls, prepared fresh ingredients, and began calling out their wares to attract passersby. At breakfast stalls, steaming food emitted an enticing aroma, making mouths water. Children played and frolicked in the streets, their laughter and cheers echoing in the morning air, adding vitality and energy to the city.

Inside a room in the courtyard of the Zizaimen branch.

As if waking from a beautiful dream, she slowly opened her eyes after a long while, her red pupils shimmering with a hazy sleepiness, seemingly still immersed in a sweet dream.

Sunlight streamed through the half-drawn curtains, illuminating the smooth purple hair. The room was filled with the faint scent of heather, and the scattered clothes and torn black stockings on the floor hinted at the intensity of last night's battle.

She gazed at the handsome face beside her pillow for a long time, a sweet smile spreading across her face. Her fiancé, whom she had raised since childhood, had finally tied the knot with her last night. From now on, they would be the most important people to each other.

Of course, she still feels shy from last night's emotional outburst, but she also has a lot of love for him.

Recalling the enchanting moments of last night, a faint blush rose to Xu Jiujiu's face. She looked down and saw many red marks on her high breasts, the marks Ji Lin had placed on her.

"How childish!"

After a long while, filled with shame and anger, she burrowed into the covers. After a few struggles, Ji Lin rolled over and pinned her beneath him, pinning her hands above her head. Her snow-white breasts were on full display. Ji Lin lowered his head and kissed her lips, their lips meeting for a long time before finally parting. Looking at the panting princess, a wicked smile appeared on Ji Lin's face.

"So enthusiastic so early in the morning, Sister Jiu Jiu?"

Ji Lin held the delicate body in his arms, his hands wandering restlessly over it.

As a developer, Ji Lin discovered that although Princess, like Zhang Lexuan, was a pushover and would soon surrender to Ji Lin's fierce offensive, she was surprisingly persistent and never gave up despite repeated defeats.

Although Princess's physical strength is not as good as top-tier beast martial souls like Ma Xiaotao and Meng Hongchen, her perseverance and recovery ability are quite good, and her combat power in this aspect is about 1/5 that of Zhang Lexuan.

Meng Hongchen and Ma Xiaotao are equivalent to three Zhang Lexuans, and Ling Luochen is equivalent to two Zhang Lexuans. The poor senior sister has been reduced to a unit of measurement for combat power.
