"So, have you locked onto Vivian's location?"

Qishala placed a sumptuous breakfast in front of Shen Sui.

As the Dragon Race Queen, she diligently performed her duties as a maid after a day of affairs.

Qishala didn't find it tiring; instead, she felt joyful.

Helping her master made her very happy.

She even saw it as a form of relaxation after work.

"Well, not exactly locked the location," Shen Sui shook his head, "I've just got a general area, and I've already sent Antipus to investigate."

As the Broken Boundary Empress, Antipus had abilities that far exceeded theirs in traversing different worlds.

Of course, she could only peek from the world barrier.

Because the cost of traversing world gaps at will for Antipus meant that her entering a world would cause much more commotion than others.

Every intrusion would be a devastating crisis akin to a Boundary-breaking Worm invasion.

"Speaking of which, when is Alice going to arrive?" Qishala poured Shen Sui a glass of milk, as he had been overworked these past few days and needed some nutrition.

At the mention of this, Shen Sui couldn't help but feel a bit helpless.

He told Qishala about Alice's experiences at Roland Magic Academy.

"Ah... no wonder," Qishala chuckled and said, "When Elder Gladios told me that Roland Magic Academy was razed and the culprit was Witch Hozerville, I was a bit surprised. Alice wouldn't be able to destroy Roland Magic Academy, right?"

"But we have to admit, in some sense, this incident was indeed caused by Alice, although most of it was Vivian's doing."

After all, the Roland Tower, which acted as a switch, was undoubtedly set ablaze by Alice.

Alice was back on track and headed toward her next destination.

And the next round of the duel tournament in Modu is next Friday, with four or five days in between.

Shen Sui had some rare downtime, so he naturally wanted to relax a bit.

Like playing cards with Qishala or something.

Unfortunately, some people seemed to disapprove of Shen Sui's leisure time and quickly came knocking.

When the door to Shen Sui's dorm opened, Wang Ming was visibly stunned to see Qishala at the door.

He took a step back and looked up carefully at the nameplate above.

Then he looked back down at Qishala.

A stunning girl in a maid outfit.

Qishala had retracted all her Dragon Race features when she opened the door.

Wang Ming's face showed an expression of disbelief.

Damn!

Damn!!

Damn!!!

"You are..."

"Are you looking for my master?" Qishala asked politely.

"Ah, yes," Wang Ming nodded subconsciously.

Then his expression froze.

Mas...ter...?!

Damn!

Shen Sui! Are you even human, letting such a beautiful girl call you master?

So jealous!!!!

The flames of jealousy surged in Wang Ming's heart.

I want to duel with you!!!

"Ah, Mr. Wang Ming," Shen Sui stirred the diced steak in his porridge. Although it was delicious, this East-West fusion seemed a bit much, and he felt he should correct Qishala's culinary ideas; her skills were fine, but her mindset needed guidance, "Is there anything you need today?"

He wasn't sure if Wang Ming had come as a teaching assistant or as an Exploration Bureau agent, so he asked.

However, at least one thing was certain.

Since Wang Ming had seen Qishala's human form, he should avoid using her human form in duels from now on, as people in the real world seemed unable to accept Soul Card World's followers crossing over.

Great, he could justifiably use Qishala's dragon form.

Seeing Shen Sui, Wang Ming suppressed the raging flames of jealousy in his heart and said, "Yue Tao has woken up and provided us a new clue."

Shen Sui furrowed his brows slightly.

Since Wang Ming had come specifically to find him, this clue might have something to do with him.

When Shen Sui saw Yue Tao again, the boy who used to be a bit chubby like Wang Ming had lost a lot of weight.

Shen Sui glanced up and down at Yue Tao, arms crossed, "Not bad, the weight loss looks good."

Yue Tao smiled wryly and said, "Don't mock me."

"Being saved is already very fortunate," Wang Ming said, "Among the victims attacked by Suffering Poetry Society, he's considered very lucky; at least his Soul Cards were preserved."

"So, what exactly did you experience?" Shen Sui looked at Yue Tao, hoping for answers.

"Suffering Poetry Society's target isn't all of Magic Soul Card World," Yue Tao said directly, looking Shen Sui in the eye, "Their target is just one, the Dawn Continent, which is World No. 1."

Dawn Continent.

Shen Sui squinted, his face expressionless.

Wang Ming glanced at Shen Sui and added, "Moreover, Suffering Poetry Society seems to know something about Dawn Continent. The Life Card Master who attacked Yue Tao confidently stated his Elemental Followers came from Dawn Continent."

"Knowing the source of Elemental Followers is no simple matter of superficially searching for World No. 1 information," Shen Sui thought. The Elemental Followers summoned with Andori's help had a distinct Elemental Empress style. Since the disappearance of the Elemental Empresses after Twilight Bishop vanished, they've been out of public view.

People from Dawn Continent largely don't know about the Elemental Empress, let alone those in the real world having such intel.

"Exactly, that's why we suspect Suffering Poetry Society has a Life Card Master in World No. 1 with a Soul Card," Wang Ming said, "And because of your Soul Card World, you are also a major target for Suffering Poetry Society. But I know your personality; personally, I think refusing our protection isn't wise."

"So, are you asking me to investigate Suffering Poetry Society or to find their Soul Card in Dawn Continent?"

"The latter," Wang Ming handed him a file, "Find the Suffering Poetry Society's Soul Card in Dawn Continent; this is the mission briefing and rewards. You can choose to accept it or not."

Shen Sui opened the Exploration Bureau's mission file.

He didn't even look at the mission details, skipping right to the rewards section.

The Exploration Bureau was as generous as ever, or perhaps due to the mission's importance, this task's rewards far exceeded those of other times.

Even with Modu's fantastical real estate prices, the cash reward of this mission alone could buy Shen Sui half an apartment in the most luxurious area.
