Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 510 Return to Shrek Academy

Upon hearing Meng Hongchen's words, Ji Lin paused in his actions, then remembered that he had indeed entrusted Meng Hongchen to investigate something. If Meng Hongchen hadn't brought it up, he would have almost forgotten about it.

After all, he's been very busy lately, and he has indeed overlooked some things for the time being.

"You found her?"

Ji Lin's hands moved continuously, applying gentle force.

"Eek!"

Meng Hongchen let out a soft moan, rolled her eyes at Ji Lin in annoyance, and gently rubbed her long, beautiful legs under the covers as she panted, "When I was in Tiandou City, I overheard those evil soul masters saying that their holy maiden is currently on the front lines."

Ji Lin frowned. Tang Ya was on the front lines, so it seemed he would have to make a trip to Shrek Academy. He wouldn't go back on his word to Bei Bei. He could also visit Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao while he was there; he hadn't seen the two women in a long time and missed them terribly.

As Ji Lin was deep in thought, he suddenly felt a lightness in his hand; Meng Hongchen had already shrunk into the quilt.

"hiss!"

Ji Lin felt a warm sensation coming from him, as if his life force was being enveloped in warmth. Then, the bedding on his body began to ripple. Ji Lin couldn't think about Tang Ya anymore; he should enjoy Miss Meng's service first!

"What? You found Senior Tang Ya?"

Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao both exclaimed in surprise and looked at Ji Lin.

Wang Qiu'er turned her gaze away from Meng Hongchen and looked at Ji Lin.

Ji Lin nodded and said, "We have to thank Meng for this; she overheard the information from the evil soul master."

Meng Hongchen put her hands on her hips, looked at Wang Qiu'er provocatively, and deliberately raised her head to reveal her snow-white neck, so that Wang Qiu'er could clearly see the red hickeys on her neck.

Wang Qiu'er clenched her fists, wishing she could draw the Golden Dragon Spear on the spot and pierce a hole in Meng Hongchen's body. However, Meng Hongchen had brought good news after all, so she tolerated this provocation, but she remembered this grudge.

Seeing Wang Qiu'er swallow her anger, Meng Hongchen became even more smug. Ji Lin glanced at the two of them speechlessly, pretending not to see them. This was not a war he could get involved in. It was best to protect himself. They were competing with each other, and he would definitely be the one to benefit. If he was right, Wang Qiu'er would probably come to him tonight, and might even ask him to leave some obvious marks on her body before going to Meng Hongchen to provoke her back.

Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao also saw the mark on Meng Hongchen's neck. They glanced at Ji Lin resentfully. This guy was clearly a womanizer, but he had never made a move on them in all this time, which made them feel really uncomfortable. Every day, watching Wang Qiu'er and Meng Hongchen compete for favor made them feel uncomfortable all over.

Ji Lin also saw the looks in Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao's eyes. His lips twitched, but he could only pretend not to see them. Did they really think he didn't want to make a move against these two girls? After all this time, he wasn't a blockhead; how could he not know their intentions? But Ji Lin was still somewhat wary of the God King behind Wang Dong'er. Before dealing with that God King, Ji Lin wouldn't dare to touch Wang Dong'er. Ji Lin was destined to be at odds with that God King because he wouldn't bow down, and that God King wouldn't bow down either. Wang Dong'er was destined to be stuck in the middle. Although Ji Lin wouldn't let Wang Dong'er become Tang Wutong, he didn't know what Wang Dong'er would choose when she knew that Ji Lin would be an enemy of her father.

For Ji Lin, the best outcome would be to erase Tang Wutong's memories forever, leaving only Wang Dong'er's. However, Ji Lin cannot do this yet. Wang Dong'er could become Tang Wutong at any time, which is something he doesn't want to see. Therefore, he must be patient and not touch Wang Dong'er. If he doesn't touch Wang Dong'er, he also can't touch Xiao Xiao and Nan Qiuqiu. It's not about scarcity but about inequality. If one cannot be touched, then the others cannot be touched for the time being either. Otherwise, Wang Dong'er will likely start to overthink things, which is not good.

Therefore, Ji Lin could only ignore the resentful looks in Xiao Xiao's eyes. He couldn't make a move against them until Wang Dong'er's matter was resolved.

He doesn't like Tang Wutong; he likes Wang Dong'er now, not Tang Wutong who keeps talking about her father.

Seeing Ji Lin feign ignorance, Xiao Xiao's eyes darkened, but she quickly perked up and said, "Then let's hurry up and inform Senior Bei Bei. It's been a long time since we've been back to Shrek Academy, so it's good to go and take a look."

Seeing Xiao Xiao's disappointed expression, Ji Lin felt a little sorry for her. This girl had silently followed him for so many years and always supported him. No matter what he did, she always followed behind him. Ji Lin also felt sorry for her, but he couldn't tell Xiao Xiao about his difficulties. He had to figure out a solution for Wang Dong'er's matter on his own, and he couldn't tell anyone else, since it involved a god-king.

So I can only ask Xiaoxiao to make it up to me for now, and I'll have to make it up to her later.

"Get ready, we're leaving tomorrow to go back to Shrek Academy."

Ji Lin nodded and pulled Meng Hongchen away. If she continued to provoke him, Wang Qiu'er might really lose her temper and take action. He would be heartbroken if either of them got hurt. It was better to separate them. He was going to take Wang Qiu'er away anyway, and Meng Hongchen should get back to her business.

The next day, at daybreak, Ji Lin took Wang Qiu'er, Wang Dong'er, and Xiao Xiao and set off for Shrek City, while the others stayed behind at Zizai Gate, since only the four of them were related to Shrek.

After arriving in Shrek City, Ji Lin and his group did not go to Shrek Academy, but instead went to Tang Sect. If he was not mistaken, Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi and the others should be at Tang Sect, not Shrek Academy.

The Tang Sect is doing quite well nowadays. It has income from the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, funding from Shrek Academy, and the support of Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, and He Caitou. Some disciples from Shrek Academy have also joined the Tang Sect.

If Tang Ya returns and sees the Tang Clan thriving under Bei Bei's leadership, she would be very pleased.

Upon entering Shrek City, Ji Lin immediately contacted Bei Bei using his communication soul tool. Therefore, when they arrived at Tang Sect, Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and Jiang Nannan had already been waiting for a long time.

"Senior Beibei, Senior Sanshi, Sister Nannan, it's been a long time."

Ji Lin, along with Wang Qiu'er and the others, walked forward with smiles.

Ji Lin hugged Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi respectively, and then pretended to hug Jiang Nannan as well. Xu Sanshi quickly blocked Jiang Nannan as if guarding against a thief. Wang Qiu'er also stared at Ji Lin, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.

Ji Lin chuckled and said, "Haha, just kidding. Senior San Shi is still the same as before!"

Xu Sanshi looked at Ji Lin warily and said irritably, "You brat, don't even think about making a move on my Nannan."

Ji Lin shook his head helplessly. Bei Bei watched this scene with amusement. If Ji Lin wanted to hug Tang Ya, he might have the same reaction as Xu Sanshi. Ji Lin was just too wicked. Most of the girls who came into contact with him fell in love with him. He was practically a human succubus. You had to be careful.

Looking at their group of seven back then, apart from Jiang Nannan, which of the other three girls wasn't won over by Ji Lin? If Jiang Nannan hadn't been constantly watched by Xu Sanshi, who knows if she would be one of Wang Dong'er's group now if Ji Lin had had too much contact with her.

No wonder Xu Sanshi was always wary of Ji Lin. If it were him, Bei Bei, he would also be wary and prevent Tang Ya from having much contact with Ji Lin.

Ji Lin felt his reputation had been damaged. Although he was a womanizer, he never thought of making a move on Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya. If he had met Jiang Nannan before Xu Sanshi, he might have also fallen for such a stunning beauty as Jiang Nannan. But there are no ifs. Tang Ya was the same. Tang Ya and Bei Bei's relationship was much purer than Ji Lin's. If it were Bei Bei, she might have also been able to pick the heart-wrenching red flower.

There is no room for Ji Lin to interfere in their relationship, nor will Ji Lin interfere.

He already has enough beauties around him, and there are even some who are more beautiful than Jiang Nannan.

"Alright, let's go inside and talk. Ji Lin and the others have finally come back."

Beibei said with a smile.

Xu Sanshi was just putting on an act. He knew Ji Lin was joking. If Ji Lin really had something in mind, he wouldn't have waited until now, when his relationship with Jiang Nannan hadn't improved. If Ji Lin made a move, he might actually be able to bypass him and win over Jiang Nannan.

After all, sometimes, having both good looks and talent can be very attractive to girls.

Beibei took the lead, with Ji Lin and Xu Sanshi following behind. Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, Wang Qiu'er, and Jiang Nannan lagged behind, whispering among themselves and occasionally glancing at Ji Lin and the other two ahead.

Upon entering the Tang Sect and observing the bustling crowd inside, Ji Lin smiled and said, "It seems the Tang Sect is developing quite well. No wonder you're Senior Bei Bei. Senior Tang Ya would be very happy if she knew."

Upon hearing Ji Lin mention Tang Ya, Bei Bei shook her head and said, "This level is not enough. I hope that when Xiao Ya comes back, she will see a stronger Tang Clan."

Beibei is much more mature now and won't become withdrawn just because Tang Ya is mentioned, although she still gets down sometimes.

Xu Sanshi looked at Ji Lin, his eyes narrowing slightly. Given Ji Lin's personality, he wouldn't bring up Tang Ya for no reason. But now he's mentioning Tang Ya in front of Bei Bei. Could it be...?

"You mean you've found Xiaoya!"

Behind them, Jiang Nannan's surprised voice rang out. Bei Bei turned around abruptly, and Xu Sanshi showed an expression of "I knew it." He knew that Ji Lin and Wang Qiu'er's return was not just a simple reunion, and Ji Lin would not have mentioned Tang Ya for no reason. It turned out that they had found Tang Ya's whereabouts.

"You really found Xiaoya? Where is she now?"

Beibei looked at Ji Lin excitedly. He knew Ji Lin wouldn't let him down; he had brought such a big surprise.

Ji Lin didn't keep them in suspense and said, "Senior Tang Ya is currently on the front lines of the battle between the Sun Moon Empire and the Heavenly Soul Empire."

"Okay, okay, okay, this news is very important, thank you, Ji Lin."

Beibei clenched her fists, her expression excited.

Xu Sanshi patted Ji Lin on the shoulder and laughed, "Good lad, you've really got some good news!"
