A Bite of Douluo Continent

Although the inspection team's tasks are not as numerous as when it was first established, Shrek Academy still organizes top-tier inner court students to patrol various locations every one or two months to search for any possible traces of evil spirit masters.

This time, it was Yu Lianxin who led the team, with more than twenty inner court disciples, to patrol a relatively remote soul beast forest and the surrounding area.

This Soul Beast Forest is not a large gathering area for Soul Beasts, and there are no beings at the 100,000-year level in it. With Yu Lianxin's strength, it is not dangerous for her to lead the team into it. Their mission is to see if there are any traces of evil Soul Masters here.

It was already night, so the group naturally found an open space to settle down and rest, and would continue their work when it got light. The night watch would be carried out by everyone in turns.

Yu Lianxin was supposed to have about two more hours before it was her turn, but she suddenly had a very strange dream. When she woke up, she clearly remembered everything in the dream, and she immediately felt that she was no longer sleepy.

In his dream, Qi Han stood in a bright, transparent palace made of gold and silver crystal. A voice, seemingly from nowhere, asked him questions that were somehow related to him…

It was a very strange dream. Yu Lianxin even had a vague suspicion that it might not be a dream, but rather something that Qi Han was experiencing at that moment, only she didn't know why it appeared in her dream.

Where is he now? And who is the person asking the question?

Yu Lianxin frowned slightly, a hint of worry creeping into her heart.

This guy disappeared for a month, where did he go?

The hall was so magnificent and exquisite that I had never heard of a place like it before…

No, no!

Yu Lianxin shook her head.

These are not the main points.

The key point is the conversation between that guy and that mysterious voice.

In her dream, the conversation between Qi Han and the mysterious voice began with the question, "Do you have a lover?"

Recalling everything in the dream again, Yu Lianxin felt as if she had just experienced it clearly.

She could recall every single word they said.

Thinking of Qi Han's answer to the question of whether he had a lover, Yu Lianxin couldn't help but smile slightly.

She and Qi Han hadn't discussed this topic yet, since asking someone of the opposite sex "Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend?" always carries a hint of something.

Although Yu Lianxin could guess that Qi Han was still single from his constant loneliness and lack of closeness with any woman, as well as his awkward acting of serving her food every time, she still couldn't help but feel a little happy to hear him say it himself.

Strange... Why am I happy? I don't like him at all!

Yu Lianxin shook her head and continued to recall, but her face fell when she remembered Qi Han's answer to the question "How many people do you like?"

One is one, and two are two!

What does it mean to be uncertain whether it's one or two?

That womanizer!

dog man!

Who else does he like besides himself?

Yu Lianxin suddenly thought of several beautiful female diners who frequently appeared at the Cold Food Festival.

But soon she smiled confidently.

None of them are as good-looking as me!

No, this can't be left like this.

Yu Lianxin puffed out her pink cheeks.

He won't catch up with me until this matter is made clear.

Then Yu Lianxin continued to recall.

Soon, she remembered Qi Han saying her name so decisively, and her pretty face flushed slightly.

Hmm... Although she was happy to loudly declare that she liked the person, it still couldn't negate what she said earlier!

Then, the voice began to ask Qi Han a series of questions: "Are you willing to give up something to save Yu Lianxin's life?"

When Yu Lianxin recalled Qi Han saying he was willing to use all his wealth to save her, she was suddenly moved.

This guy…

Qi Han once bought the Gold of Life for tens of millions of gold soul coins at the Starlight Auction House, and Yu Lianxin was present at the time.

His wealth is no small sum; it's at least tens of millions of gold soul coins.

Is he really willing to give everything just to save himself?

Yu Lianxin felt somewhat touched, but she couldn't help but become suspicious.

Could this guy be lying?

After all, a man's words are often deceitful...

Just as this thought popped into her mind, another thought suddenly appeared in her head.

"The answers to all questions must come from the truth, or you will be immediately subjected to the most severe punishment."

Is this... an explanation for myself?

Yu Lianxin blinked. Sure enough, all of this was real and not a dream.

For some reason, this thought led Yu Lianxin to subconsciously choose to believe.

So what Qi Han said is true? Is he really willing to give up all his wealth to save his life?

Thinking of this, Yu Lianxin's face flushed slightly, making her already beautiful face even more charming and lovely. Unfortunately, it was nighttime, and everyone else was in the tent, so no one else saw this scene.

Immediately afterwards, Yu Lianxin recalled Qi Han saying that he was willing to pay the price of life gold to save her.

Gold of Life? What is that?

Yu Lianxin had never heard of it.

But at that moment, the same thought appeared in her mind, which explained in detail the preciousness and wonder of the Gold of Life.

Yu Lianxin's face immediately showed a hint of shock.

A crystal formed entirely of life force, possessing almost limitless life force.

So this is the origin of the treasure that Qi Han bought in Star Luo City…

Without a doubt, the rarity of the Living Gold far surpasses that of tens of millions of Gold Soul Coins; such a treasure is simply priceless.

And now, Qi Han is also willing to give it up, just to save himself…

Yu Lianxin's heart trembled slightly, and a complex expression appeared in her eyes.

She... hadn't even agreed to be with him yet.

He was actually willing to sacrifice so much for me?

Immediately afterward, when she recalled the mysterious voice's words, asking Qi Han to exchange his life for hers, Yu Lianxin couldn't help but hold her breath.

She quietly asked herself what kind of answer she wanted to hear.

After a while, Yu Lianxin gently shook her head.

Gu Wan didn't know what answer she wanted to hear.

No girl wouldn't want a boy to value her more than his own life, and Yu Lianxin was no exception. But when she thought about how she would be in dire straits in the future and how Qi Han would save her life with his own, she couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in her heart.

Besides... that guy's strength is only two rings now, right? He revealed his soul rings when he went to Xingluo City, which is on the same planet. Now, less than a year has passed, and no matter how fast he cultivates, he can only reach the level of three rings. If I, who am at the level of eight rings, am in danger of losing my life, do you think he can save me by sacrificing his life?

Thinking of this, Yu Lianxin couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Idiot, I'll get angry if you answer yes.

I don't want to be with you because you're too good to me, making me feel guilty.

If you want to catch up with me, you'll have to be able to beat me first, hmph!

But... Yu Lianxin's cute little nose wrinkled.

If I, as the senior sister of Shrek Academy's inner court, deliberately let myself be defeated by a guy with only two or three rings, wouldn't that be too obvious?

Ugh!

This is really worrying.

Resting her chin on her hand, Yu Lianxin continued to recall the conversation in her dream. Seeing Qi Han hesitate for a long time before finally saying he was unwilling, Yu Lianxin's lips curled up slightly.

That's more like it. If I were really in danger, I'd have to make him run away quickly. He's so weak, how could he protect me?

The conversation ended abruptly after Qi Han said, "I'm the one who mistakenly entered this place, why should she bear the consequences?" The subsequent conversation in Qiankun Wenqing Valley was not seen by Yu Lianxin because the person involved was not Yu Lianxin.

Hearing Qi Han choose to let her live when faced with a choice between two options, Yu Lianxin's heart was already filled with tenderness.

This guy…

Hmph, I guess you barely passed.

A bright smile unconsciously appeared on her face, and she couldn't help but recall the conversation in her dream again and again.

Until a strange sound came from all around, the sound of a pack of beasts making Yu Lianxin startled, and the smile on her face slowly faded.

With a light touch of her toes, Yu Lianxin's figure quickly floated into the air and rose continuously. Eight ten-thousand-year soul rings quietly appeared behind her. The moon wheel in her hand blended with the bright moonlight above her head, casting even brighter moonlight onto the open space nearby.

Using the light, Yu Lianxin finally saw the newcomers clearly. They were thousands of various soul beasts, led by several ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, who were flanking the camp from a distance of a thousand meters. Their target was very obvious.

Her expression instantly turned serious.

Beast Tide!

Although the scale is not large, there are only about twenty students in the camp at the moment, and facing such a beast tide will inevitably be very difficult.

There was no firelight at all, so how did their whereabouts get exposed?

Such a number of soul beasts cannot be summoned all at once.

With a thought racing through her mind, Yu Lian's soul power surged, and her voice resounded throughout the tents of the camp.

"Enemy attack!"

...

As the voice from Qiankun Wenqing Valley announced the start of the second adventure, the platform in front of Qi Han began to change.

A strong sense of impending doom filled his senses, and the once flat ground underwent a dramatic change. A roulette wheel slowly appeared, with ten squares, each marked with a symbol.

The ten markings on the roulette wheel are all different, but they are not too difficult to recognize. They include various shapes such as sword, lip, and fist.
