Douluo Continent: Tonight, a Fairy Tale Descends

The crowd in the stands began to disperse, but the excitement generated by the qualifiers lingered in the air for a long time.

Team members from various colleges also left the field one after another.

Some cheered, some remained silent, some had tears in their eyes, and some gritted their teeth and vowed to win next time.

Meanwhile, teams from other regions that had secured qualifying spots also began arriving in Tiandou City one after another.

The Botanical Academy from the Kingdom of Barak, the Beast Academy from the Kingdom of Moric, and the dark horses that have broken through the encirclement of various kingdoms and duchies...

They poured into this ancient imperial city, each carrying their own pride and ambition.

On the streets of Tiandou City, young Soul Masters dressed in various academy uniforms can be seen everywhere.

Along the wide main road, every few steps you can see groups of young people walking by, chatting and laughing.

The shop assistants stood at the entrance, enthusiastically hawking various items and supplies that Soul Masters could use.

The air was filled with the aroma of roasted soul beast meat, sugar-roasted chestnuts, and some unidentifiable spice.

A carriage bearing the logo of the Beast Academy was slowly making its way to a hotel in the city, following the flow of people.

Inside the carriage, Xiao Wu was almost pressed against the window, her big pink eyes wide open, staring unblinkingly at the street scene flashing by outside.

"Wow...wow...wow..."

She had lost count of how many times she had exclaimed in such amazement.

"Meng Yiran, look! What's that? Why is it glowing!"

"That's a large soul-guided lamp, powered by soul power."

"Where, where, where! What about that one? It's such a big piece!"

"That's the signboard... specially designed..."

"And that! What's cooking in that big, steaming pot? It smells so good!"

"That's a stall selling cloud fish meat..."

Meng Yiran sat next to Xiao Wu, looking helplessly at this usually imposing and invincible Xiao Wu in the academy, who was now like a child visiting the city for the first time, almost crawling out the window.

But the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.

This little dance girl is quite cute.

Meanwhile, in Xiao Wu's mental world, things were just as lively.

"My God! My God! My God!!!"

The signature exaggerated voice of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm echoed like thunder.

"This is a human city?! This is a human city?! It's way too big!!"

The golden silkworm shadow twisted and turned wildly in the sea of ​​consciousness, spinning round and round, as if nothing else could express the shock it was experiencing at that moment.

"Look at that! That tall pillar! And there's something floating on it! What's that!"

"And what about all those people! How can there be so many of them! They're densely packed together! There are more snow worms than I've ever seen in the far north!"

"That one! That one's sparkly! It's twinkling! I want to eat it!"

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm twisted and cried out, its voice so loud that it shook the entire spiritual sea.

Xiao Wu's head was throbbing from the noise, and she mentally snapped back, "Shut up! It's so noisy!"

But... but...

"But what?! You're a million-year-old soul beast, can't you be a little more dignified?!"

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm shrank back pitifully: "I...this isn't the first time I've seen this..."

Just then, another clear, cold voice rang out in the sea of ​​consciousness.

"It is indeed... very lively."

The illusory lotus flower, radiating a faint blue light, swayed gently, her tone carrying a hint of curiosity that even she herself was unaware of.

She, too, had never been to the human world.

In the 150,000 years she cultivated in the far north, the only humans she ever saw were those unlucky souls who recklessly ventured into the core area and were then frozen into ice sculptures.

Living, densely packed people like these, along with these strange buildings and glowing things...

This was also her first time meeting him.

Xiao Wu sensed the reactions of the two guests in her spiritual sea, and felt inexplicably more at ease.

It turns out she wasn't the only one who lacked knowledge.

pretty good.

The carriage slowly made its way through the crowd, and after another half hour, it finally stopped in front of a hotel with a sign that read "Welcome Guests".

The car door opened, and the teacher leading the group from the Beast Academy jumped off first, shouting into the carriage:

"Come down, everyone. Stay here tonight and report to the competition organizing committee tomorrow."

Chapter 403 Shopping

"The room has been booked, two people per room. Take the key and settle in."

Xiao Wu jumped out of the car without waiting, but as soon as her feet touched the ground, she was once again shocked by the scene in front of her.

This hotel... is huge!

A five-story wooden and stone structure with flying eaves, brackets, carved beams and painted rafters.

Two rows of large red lanterns hung at the entrance, and two unidentified stone-carved spirit beasts squatted on either side of the steps, exuding an imposing aura.

People came and went in a constant stream, wearing uniforms of various colors and speaking in various accents.

Xiao Wu stood there blankly until Meng Yiran pulled her sleeve and led her inside.

"Sister Xiaowu, don't just stand there, go upstairs and put your things down."

Xiao Wu was pulled into the lobby, then up the stairs, and finally pushed into a room.

The room was decorated simply and cleanly.

Xiao Wu tossed her small bundle onto the bed, then collapsed onto the soft mattress, snuggling contentedly against it.

"So soft..."

Meng Yiran was tidying up her things when she saw Xiao Wu's appearance and couldn't help but laugh.

"Sister Xiaowu, how long has it been since you slept on a soft bed?"

"What do you think! We've been traveling by carriage for days! We're so tired!" Xiao Wu complained to Meng Yiran.

Before Xiao Wu could enjoy it for long, the golden voice in her mind exploded again.

"Xiao Wu! Xiao Wu! Go out! Go out and have a stroll! It's so lively outside! Go out!!"

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was so anxious that it jumped up and down in its mental sea, looking even more desperate than when it was being chased by Di Tian back then.

Xiao Wu got a headache from the noise and sat up.

"Okay, okay! Stop yelling!"

Meng Yiran was startled by her sudden movement: "What's wrong?"

Xiao Wu jumped out of bed and grabbed Meng Yiran's hand: "Let's go shopping!"

"Huh? Now? Now?"

"What else? We're all dressed up, what's the point of not going shopping?"

Xiao Wu, with a self-righteous air, grabbed Meng Yiran and rushed outside.

Meng Yiran was dragged along by her and almost fell at the top of the stairs.

"Sister Xiaowu, slow down!"

"If you're too slow, it'll get dark!"

The two rushed out of the hotel and plunged into the bustling streets of Tiandou City.

The evening sunlight was no longer so dazzling, casting long shadows on the bluestone pavement.

There were more people on the streets than during the day.

Some vendors were packing up and rushing home, some workers who had just finished work were hurrying by with their tools, and some young noblemen dressed in fine clothes were parading through the city surrounded by servants.

More often, there were young Soul Masters dressed in various uniforms.

They gathered in small groups, chatting and laughing, discussing today's matches and talking about the already famous geniuses.

"Have you heard? Lan Fo'er from Tianshui Academy single-handedly defeated Shrek Academy!"

"Nonsense, they're level 49. What's the highest level the Shrek Academy kids have?"

"Lia from Blazing Academy is truly amazing; she single-handedly defeated the Seven-in-One team from Azure Sun Academy..."

"Feng Xiaotian is fierce too, he broke up Canghui Academy's formation right from the start..."

Xiao Wu listened as she walked, her big pink eyes full of curiosity.

She didn't recognize any of the names these people were referring to, but they all sounded very impressive.

But she believed she was the best!

Within the spiritual sea, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm was also busy.

"Xiao Wu! That one!"

Do you want some candied hawthorn berries?

"Yup!"

"What are you, a soul beast consciousness, supposed to eat?!"

"I'm just curious..."

Although the Ice Crystal Snow Lotus did not speak, the ethereal blue lotus phantom trembled slightly from time to time, clearly observing everything around it in secret.

Xiao Wu pulled Meng Yiran along, strolling from one end of the street to the other.
