Chapter 66: So Beautiful, Shrek City
“However the previous City Lord came, let him come that way.”
“What guidance do you need?”
“Take Lin Huiqun to stroll around Xilu City, or take her to the Orphanage side.”
Cheng Ling heard this, then lightly bowed to Huo Yuhao and said:
“Yes, Boss.”
Then she turned and left the Office. Huo Yuhao tapped his fingers on the desk, pondering something.
“The core Elder in charge of Shrek’s finances?”
“This is actually a good opportunity to send Sui over.”
Thinking this way, Huo Yuhao spread out his Spiritual Power domain, covering a large area of Xilu City.
Conversations, cursing, laughter—the various aspects of life of Xilu City residents all appeared in Huo Yuhao’s mind.
Fortunately, the Spiritual Eye Martial Soul includes the brain. Although it didn’t have the Million Years Spiritual Power processing speed of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, it was more than enough to handle this information.
After a brain search, he found Sui, or rather Huo Sui’er, helping to mediate a dispute between two merchants on a street.
Huo Sui’er was currently having a huge headache. These two merchants of the same type had started a simple and unadorned commercial war out of jealousy for each other’s business.
Today you pour boiling water on my money tree, tomorrow he sticks a voodoo doll to counterattack.
It escalated all the way to a price war here, making the other merchants on this street miserable.
The other merchants couldn’t beat them—the managers of these two merchant stores were both Level Twenty Great Soul Masters—so they could only call in Enthusiasm to mediate.
“Sui, go to the Orphanage right away. Someone will take you to Shrek Academy.”
Huo Sui’er’s body suddenly shook; she suddenly received Huo Yuhao’s voice.
She turned her head to look around but couldn’t find Huo Yuhao’s figure.
She excitedly nodded, even though she didn’t know if Huo Yuhao could see.
Then, an Enthusiasm Member who hurriedly arrived took over Huo Sui’er’s mediation work, and Huo Sui’er immediately headed to the Orphanage.
“Roman, Lin Huiqun will arrive soon. There’s a girl I plan to send over to be Xuan Zi’s disciple—you know her too.
“It’s Sui from the Orphanage. Find an opportunity to expose that girl’s Taotie Bloodline.”
Romani was in the Medical Room teaching Feng Jin knowledge related to medicine.
He really liked this gentle and kind little girl; she was attentive and willing to study hard.
Her talent was also very good; many obscure and difficult medical knowledge points she basically grasped after one lesson, and she often helped him organize various devices in the Medical Room.
She proactively helped treat some children’s bruises and injuries.
It felt like it wouldn’t be long before he would be unemployed in the Medical Room, but that was fine too—after getting the Foundation sorted out.
Roman planned to travel around and properly see this world, not as King Solomon, but as an ordinary person experiencing life.
“Doctor Roman, what’s wrong?”
Feng Jin saw Roman’s body suddenly stiffen; her pink twin tails shook, and her head tilted slightly to the side.
Roman looked at the cute Feng Jin, patted her head, and said:
“It’s nothing. A certain unscrupulous Boss is coming to work.”
“Gotta go to work right away.”
Feng Jin obediently nodded and said: “Then, do you need me to avoid for a bit?”
Roman nodded, took out a Notebook on human anatomy from the desk cabinet, and said:
“These are some of my thoughts and insights on human body research.”
“If you’re interested, you can take a look.”
Feng Jin took the book and carefully put it into the small crossbody bag she carried, which had a cute white horse pendant on it.
However, what Feng Jin didn’t know was that this book Roman gave her was actually a knowledge inheritance from King Solomon.
It contained quite a bit of King Solomon’s understanding of the human body and the world, as well as part of the principles of magic.
In the Type-Moon world, this book would probably be snatched by the Clock Tower at all costs.
Even because it was an authentic work of King Solomon, as a holy relic, it might directly summon King Solomon.
Watching Feng Jin leave, Roman grimaced as he organized the Foundation research Notebook. These past few days, he had finally managed to make a barely functional Foundation.
It was just that the way it ran was a bit strange—like how a normal person should walk with legs, but this Foundation ran as if a person was walking on hands.
No matter what, at least it was moving. Although this Foundation definitely couldn’t be turned in, it was a good sign.
Afterward, as long as adjustments were made on the basis of this Foundation to make it walk normally, it would be fine.
After all, he was only responsible for a Foundation that could run; the rest could be a headache for that Boss.
“I miss Magic Meili so much!”
“I’m so lonely~”
Roman walked out of the Medical Room without taking off his white coat, waiting outside for Sui and Lin Huiqun’s arrival.
……
City Lord’s Mansion
“Elder Lin, do you want me to accompany you to stroll around the City?”
The newly appointed City Lord Kong Yang by Huo Yuhao was respectfully accompanying an old woman with childlike features.
The old woman looked like she was in her waning years, but the vitality in her body was still vigorous!
The faintly revealed aura nearly made this Soul Saint Kong Yang unable to breathe.
The Elder Lin from Sea God Pavilion in front of him was clearly a true Super Douluo.
In Sea God Pavilion, her seniority ranked third, second only to Xuan Zi, and she controlled all of Shrek’s finances and Treasure Pavilion.
“No need, let me look around by myself.”
“You’re all the same, you City Lords. I don’t mind.”
“But don’t send people to follow me.”
“I have a good temper, but I do act occasionally.”
When saying the last sentence, a vast and boundless Terrifying Aura enveloped Kong Yang’s entire body, nearly making him kneel there.
The gap between Soul Saint and Super Douluo was too great; in the eyes of a Super Douluo, a Soul Saint wasn’t much different from those civilians without Soul Power.
They were all bugs that could be slapped to death with one palm.
Lin Huiqun’s main purpose in coming to Xilu City this time was to see what this City Lord was like.
After several tests earlier, Lin Huiqun determined that this new City Lord named Kong Yang had no great ambitions, average strength, and posed no threat.
Moreover, he was quite perceptive; right upon meeting, he shouted “Loyalty!” to Shrek.
Letting him be City Lord was indeed a good choice; Lin Huiqun didn’t plan to make things difficult for him.
This time, she would go to the Orphanage for a stroll as usual.
Just like how Mu En liked to stay in the freshman building as old man Mu the gatekeeper.
Lin Huiqun also liked those energetic children; just watching them could dispel her own twilight aura.
As a Super Douluo, her walking speed could be said to be faster than a general Agility Attack Type, and the people around didn’t realize a Super Douluo had passed by them.
After arriving at Xilu City’s Orphanage, Lin Huiqun slightly widened her eyes.
“Heh, this new City Lord is quite interesting.”
“He actually spent a lot of money to renovate the Orphanage that hadn’t changed in several Hundred Years.”
As the Pavilion Master of Treasure Pavilion, her eyesight was extremely sharp.
At a glance, she recognized that the top of the Orphanage was made from scraps of Crimson Spirit Warm Jade.
Crimson Spirit Warm Jade’s main body was used to carve core Formation Arrays for Soul Tools, and it wasn’t cheap.
Even scraps, such a large piece would cost quite a bit.
The children in this Orphanage probably wouldn’t have to worry about being frozen in winter.
A satisfied look appeared in Lin Huiqun’s eyes.
“He looks unremarkable, but his heart is kind—rare and valuable.”
“This City Lord is pretty good!
Roman was at a high platform in the Orphanage, watching Lin Huiqun below, his body concealed with Douluo-style aura masking magic.
At first he was worried about being discovered, but fortunately the other party didn’t seriously probe here.
“Phew~”
“The comer is not friendly.”
Roman had notified Zuo Man’er in advance that a big shot would come here today, asking her to keep the children in check, especially Sukuna.
Huo Yuhao didn’t want Sukuna to be beaten into an Evil Soul Master by Shrek before even being sent to Body Sect.
Zuo Man’er came out full of respect to greet Lin Huiqun; upon learning this was a high-level from Shrek’s Sea God Pavilion, she felt a bit uneasy inside.
“Elder Lin, please.”
Lin Huiqun nodded and walked in, observing the Orphanage’s structure everywhere, nodding before scanning the surrounding children.
“Eh?”
“They’ve all Awakened their Martial Souls?”
“Did you help them Awaken, little girl?”
Zuo Man’er hurriedly said: “The City Lord sent people to Awaken them, to give these children some possible future.”
Lin Huiqun nodded and said: “You’re the first city to proactively help orphans Awaken Martial Souls.”
“If only other cities were like you.”
“Girl, at your age you’ve reached Level Forty Soul Sect—not like a wild path origin. Did you go to school before?”
Zuo Man’er hurriedly nodded, afraid of offending the Super Douluo in front of her, and said:
“I was previously a student at Shrek Academy, but got expelled for poor grades.”
Lin Huiqun became a bit interested at this moment, carefully sizing up Zuo Man’er and said:
“Not bad!”
“Cultivate well; you might achieve Soul Saint in the future.”
“Xilu City has really surprised me!”
Roman sensed Sui was inside the Orphanage; Lin Huiqun was almost next to her.
He hurriedly transmitted: “Sui, relax. I’ll help you release a bit of Bloodline aura.”
After saying that, a trace of aura from a primordial exotic beast slowly emanated from Sui’s body—that was the aura from the Earth Dragon King Taotie, one of the Nine Sons of the Dragon God.
Lin Huiqun suddenly paused, her pupils sharply contracting as her eyes pierced through the crowd and found Sui at the back of the children.
“That’s Taotie?!”
As someone from the same era as Xuan Zi, she often interacted with him—how could she not recognize the Taotie aura.
She also didn’t suspect why Sui would release the aura at this time.
Because she was a Super Douluo; the Taotie Bloodline would automatically protect its host when sensing a threat.
Lin Huiqun arrived in front of Sui as if crossing Space, tightly grabbing Sui’s shoulders, her eyes already wide.
Staring dead at Sui.
Sui was a bit scared; the Bloodline in her body kept urging her to run—the person in front was strong to the point of suffocating.
Lin Huiqun realized she had lost composure and hurriedly let go of Sui’s hand.
After calming her emotions, she softly said to Sui: “Child, can you tell me what your Martial Soul is?”
Sui knew the opportunity had come and said: “Taotie Spirit Sheep.”
“Taotie Spirit Sheep………”
“Hiss, the Beast King that once existed on July Fire Plain?!”
“This kind of super Soul Beast actually has a Martial Soul preserved!”
Zuo Man’er walked to Lin Huiqun’s side with a face full of worry, a bit at a loss.
Lin Huiqun waved her hand at Zuo Man’er and said: “Find me an open space; I won’t hurt this child.”
“She has great potential.”
Zuo Man’er led the two of them to the playground behind the Orphanage.
Then had Bai E and Mademos take the children to play in the hall.
“Brother Bai E, is Sister Sui okay?”
A little girl looked up and asked Bai E.
Bai E patted her head; his blue eyes seemed to have the sun shining in them.
“It’s fine!”
“It’s a good thing for Sister Sui!”
“Right, Partner?”
Mademos didn’t look at him, lightly hummed, and said: “Correct, it’s a good thing.”
In the open space, amid Lin Huiqun’s expectant and excited expression, Sui activated her Martial Soul.
A yellow Soul Ring circled around her body, then a Taotie Spirit Sheep with sheep head, dragon horns, tiger teeth, human claws, and earthy yellow body appeared behind her, ready to possess at any time.
Lin Huiqun murmured: “It’s really Taotie Bloodline!”
“This Martial Soul is in no way inferior to the Taotie Divine Ox!”
“Great, Xuan Zi has an heir for his mantle!”
Lin Huiqun came to Sui’s side and said: “Child, what’s your name?”
Sui canceled her Martial Soul and seriously said to her: “My name is Huo Sui’er.”
Lin Huiqun nodded and said: “Good name.”
With this Martial Soul, even if she were called Dog Egg, it would be a good name!
“Do you want to come to Shrek?”
“I guarantee you’ll receive the best resource cultivation!”
This was exactly Sui’s goal, so she nodded without hesitation.
Lin Huiqun laughed toward the sky and said: “Good!”
“This Xilu City has really made me happy!”
“Come, I’ll take you to see someone.”
After saying that, nine Soul Rings appeared around Lin Huiqun, then she took Sui flying toward Shrek City at extreme speed.
Roman walked to Zuo Man’er’s side, patted her shoulder, and said:
“It’s fine; this is the Boss’s arrangement.”
Zuo Man’er breathed a sigh of relief, bowed to Roman, and said:
“That’s good.”
“Right, I think I still haven’t thanked you for providing free medical care to the children.”
Roman looked toward Shrek’s direction, shook his head, and said:
“Just a doctor’s duty.”
“A certain unscrupulous Boss has paid wages.”
Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao had already arrived at Shrek City’s gate; he planned to take a look here before heading to Disaster Mountain Range.
Shrek’s city walls were extremely tall; though not as outrageous as Star Luo City’s 100-meter width and 100-meter length, it was close.
Who was the little genius that designed this square city wall anyway?
Douluo Continent’s architecture was shocking!
Shrek City’s inspection was extremely strict; Soul Power Level, including identity documents, all had to be checked.
Completely the opposite of other cities.
There were also five Soul Emperors constantly detecting Martial Soul auras; any Evil Soul Master would be killed on the spot.
Fortunately, these didn’t stump Huo Yuhao; he easily entered Shrek City.
This place could indeed be called Douluo’s number one city.
Far more prosperous than Xuan Feng City and Xilu City, who knows by how much.
Throw a stone, and it’d hit at least ten Soul Masters.
“It’s so beautiful, Shrek City!”
Huo Yuhao followed an address near Shrek Academy based on a letter stored in his Storage Soul Tool.
This was a letter left at the door of little Huo medical clinic in Xuan Feng City.
Huo Yuhao had accidentally seen it when he used Kamui to buy medicinal herbs there some time ago; it was a letter sent by Jiang Nannan.
As for why go to Xuan Feng City to buy medicinal herbs, as Profound Nether Sect’s territory, the pill and medicinal herbs industry there had always been the most developed in Heaven Soul Empire.
Many medicinal herbs could be bought there.
Eight thousand words today, in a sense four updates—feeling so awesome myself. Begging for monthly votes here OzR.
Actually, I read everyone’s suggestions; I’ve been coldly lurking and peeping at you all.
Actually, this book had Imagination character settings from the start, after all, Imagination Authority was born for this.
So it’s impossible to change now; hope everyone understands. Want to curse me? Curse here, author will pucker up and endure.
To not hide from everyone, the Alchemy settings are also imitating the elemental Alchemy system from Dragon Clan side; the six basic Inscriptions are annotations left by a big shot.
But later it’s still mainly from Huo Yuhao’s perspective, but Imagination characters will definitely be a highlight—can’t change it now.
Already sewing in Dragon Clan, so definitely pull out the Eight Great Sovereigns for a walk: Earth and Mountain, Sky and Wind, Ocean and Water, Bronze and Fire—just right, Douluo Continent side all have similar Dragon Kings, even Godzilla I have some ideas for, let Di Tian see what a true Soul Beast King is.
Anyway, thick-skinned begging for monthly votes and follow-up reading, curse if you want—author can bear it, kowtowing to everyone.
