"Eh?"
Xiao Xiao was surprised, her other hand, not holding chopsticks, shyly clutched her skirt. "Isn't this progressing too fast?"
Getting into bed right after confirming their relationship.
Ugh, she couldn't do it.
"What are you thinking?"
An Zhen gently tapped Xiao Xiao's forehead, a helpless expression on his face. "It's softer on the bed, more comfortable than sitting on the floor or a chair."
"But, in the afternoon we have Teacher Zhou's class. What are we going to do if we don't go?" Xiao Xiao asked, puzzled. She didn't dare skip Teacher Zhou's class.
"Something that concerns your future," An Zhen said with a serious and solemn expression.
"Although some of them may not have high compatibility with you, their general utility is still very strong."
An Zhen spoke words that left Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao confused.
"Mm…"
Her silver hair swaying, Gu Yuena groggily climbed out of bed, her jade arms reaching out, following the scent to fall into a familiar embrace, rubbing against An Zhen's chest like a large cat.
"Awake? Want to eat something?"
"Mm~"
Ignoring the gazes of the other women around, the Silver Dragon King sat directly next to An Zhen, half of her body still leaning in his arms. After a bowl and chopsticks were projected in the Virtual World, she began to eat, transforming from a groggy, just-woken-up state into an emotionless eating machine in just half a minute.
Xiao Xiao felt the atmosphere was a bit strange.
Xiao Xiao's nimble eyes surveyed the current situation.
A young man and his four girlfriends sat together, eating.
Xiao Xiao glanced at Huo Yutong and Wang Dong's reactions, and found that Wang Dong, who had just had an argument with An Zhen, actually pushed a plate of dishes closer to Gu Yuena's hand. Was this an active gesture of goodwill? Yu Tong even did the same.
An Zhen looked at this scene with satisfaction.
Huo Yutong and Wang Dong were both good girls.
They would never bully the other girls around him like that dog of a White Tiger Duke's wife. Instead, they would help them, not because they liked to be cuckolded, but because they knew that these girls were all actively lured by An Zhen, and An Zhen took advantage of them. But if it were evil women with ill intentions, they would never show mercy.
…
An Zhen's waist ached.
Wang Dong'er withdrew her small hand, her expression unchanged.
An Zhen's face showed a hint of helplessness.
Forget it, being punished by her could lead to harmony in his harem. It was worth it.
The few of them quickly finished their meal, except for Gu Yuena, who was still eating. The Silver Dragon King had a huge appetite, something An Zhen knew well.
Xiao Xiao, mimicking Wang Dong and Huo Yutong, took off her shoes, revealing a pair of small feet in white socks, and sat on the bed in a duck-sitting posture.
It was like a ganoderma lucidum wrapped in purple mist, and two crystalline white flower-grasses.
"Ten-thousand-year Purple Immortal Ganoderma, for stimulating potential and repairing and widening meridians."
"Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone, for nourishing tendons and bones, and opening up the eight extraordinary meridians. Zhu Zhuqing, one of the Shrek Seven Devils ten thousand years ago, once consumed it."
The original Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone was given to Meng Hongchen. These two were reflected by An Zhen when he was in the Far North, which caused Youyou's precious pearl not to be fully returned to her. She had been nagging him about it for the past few days, but An Zhen had a very reasonable suspicion that she wasn't actually concerned about her pearl. It was just that other plant Spirit Beasts no longer paid attention to her, or she felt it was meaningless to harass them for so many years, and now it was time to find a human to harass.
Although they were only thousand-year-old, besides a smaller increase in spirit power, the effects of the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone were completely present. Although there were other heavenly treasures like evergreen vines and ten-thousand-year magma fruits in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, these treasures were either not suitable for the Spirit of the girls, or their enhancement was not as great as the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone.
Immortal Herb indeed had the effect of turning a waste into a genius, but the specific absorption still depended on the compatibility between the two. For example, the Star Luo Spiritual Pearl could transform into a Soul Core in the future, but if absorbed by a Spirit Master whose Spirit itself contained stellar power, such as Silver Moon or Star Crown, it could fully unleash its effects more perfectly.
Yu Tong's body martial soul underwent a secondary awakening, but the Ice Dragon King's power was overbearing. Her mental force increased after absorbing the Look Through Autumn Water Dew, and her physical quality improved due to the Ice Dragon King Spirit Bone, but her meridians were a bit weak in this aspect.
"Yu Tong, this Purple Immortal Ganoderma is yours."
"Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, you two each get a Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone."
Actually, there were other Immortal Herbs more suitable for them, such as the Black Jade Divine Bamboo.
After all, one's Spirit was a cauldron, and the other was a hammer.
However, the absorption method of the Black Jade Divine Bamboo was special; it transformed into a spirit ring to enhance the Spirit's rigidity. It wasn't time for Wang Dong's Clear Sky Hammer to add a spirit ring yet. As for Xiao Xiao's cauldron, the thousand-year Black Jade Divine Bamboo hadn't been produced yet, and An Zhen remembered that in the original work, there was a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, Bear Monarch, suitable for Xiao Xiao. It was time to contribute to the rise of Spirit Beasts.
After An Zhen finished speaking, aside from Gu Yuena's eating sounds, the room was silent.
"Absorb the Immortal Herb, what are you waiting for?"
"Mm."
Xiao Xiao snapped out of her shock.
"No."
Immortal Herb, she had heard of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School's sky-high bounty. This was an Immortal Herb as famous as that Qiluo Tulip!
It was too precious.
Xiao Xiao shook her small head, her nimble eyes showing the confusion of a young girl. "We just started dating."
It was like, right after starting to date, the boyfriend directly and voluntarily gifted a mansion worth over a hundred million, a yacht, and a company.
"We're dating, so we're in a relationship now, Xiao Xiao, isn't this normal?" Looking at the adorable young girl, An Zhen couldn't help but pull Xiao Xiao into his arms, kissing her forehead, her cheeks, her lips. Little Xiao Xiao, so cute!
"Mm."
Having just started dating, the young girl in An Zhen's arms had no idea what to do, remaining dazed and allowing the intimacy.
"Alright."
An Zhen put down Xiao Xiao, whose face was covered with many of his marks, and sincere, alluring words flowed effortlessly from his mouth, "From now on, we're family. No matter how precious a treasure is, it's not as precious as you."
A handsome, heaven-blessed prodigy.
An Immortal Herb, almost priceless.
Sincere sweet talk.
Which girl could resist such teasing?
An Zhen truly gave good things.
Xiao Xiao felt a little dizzy, her vision completely filled by An Zhen.
"Stop!"
A hand intervened between the two. Wang Dong, with a look of exasperation, pinched Xiao Xiao's cheek to make her friend sober up. "Wake up, Xiao Xiao, if An Zhen says two more words, you'll be stripping naked to warm his bed right after starting to date."
"Wang Dong, it hurts~"
"It's to make you sober up!"
"Alright." Huo Yutong skillfully separated the two who were bickering. In the past, she separated An Zhen Gege and Wang Dong; now it was Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao. "Xiao Xiao, since it's from An Zhen Gege, then quickly absorb it."
Just like An Zhen Gege said, we are family!
Taking the Immortal Herb An Zhen handed her, the blue-haired little cutie kissed An Zhen, then sat cross-legged on the bed and began to absorb and cultivate. Xiao Xiao, her cheeks flushed, followed closely, offering a Offer a kiss.
"Thank you, An Zhen."
Xiao Xiao's excitement was palpable.
"Dong'er."
An Zhen looked at Wang Dong'er with a smile.
"Hmph!"
Wang Dong'er glared at An Zhen with a fierce yet adorable look, then turned to Gu Yuena, who was still eating. "What about hers?"
An Zhen blinked. Gu Yuena eating Immortal Herb? It wouldn't even be enough to stick between the Silver Dragon King's teeth.
"Gu Yuena naturally has some too."
The exquisite beautiful girl Domineering pressed the back of An Zhen's head, bringing their two heads close together.
Three beautiful girls sat cross-legged on the large bed, cultivating.
Someone tugged at An Zhen's clothes.
Gu Yuena extended her fair little hand, her purple starry eyes filled with unblemished innocence. "What about mine?"
No pouting!
An Zhen extended a finger, a trace of Pole Ice and fire power swirling at its tip—that was the Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Ball, the power of the original Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. "Eat it."
"Awooo!"
The silver-haired dragon girl delightedly took An Zhen's finger into her mouth. The power from her own kind and of the elements was very suitable for her, but it was a pity that her current weak body absorbed it too slowly.
So what should he do now?
An Zhen looked at the exquisite silver dragon girl in his arms, then at the three girls meditating and absorbing the Immortal Herb's medicinal power behind him. He used his other free arm to pick up Gu Yuena's delicate body. "My Lord, you wouldn't want your embarrassing moment to be seen by little girls, would you?"
…
Sea God Pavilion Grand Conference Hall.
"Yan Shaozhe, you're shameless!"
"To know one's mistake and correct it is the greatest virtue. I was indeed wrong before, so I apologized and made amends."
The solemn conference room was now filled with arguments. Nine people sat around the oval long table. Except for Gourmet Douluo, who was in secluded cultivation, the deans and vice-deans of both departments, and the elders of the Hall of Enshrinement, were all present.
"Alright."
A gentle voice sounded. In the shadows at the end of the long table, the old man who usually sunbathed in front of the dormitory building slowly spoke. The next moment, the arguments ceased. The others, even the white-haired elders, instinctively sat up straight, like students waiting for a teacher's lecture.
"Xuan Zi is in seclusion and cannot come. Everyone else is here, so let's start the meeting. Since I called this meeting, I will preside over it."
"!"
Yan Shaozhe and the beautiful woman sitting beside him exchanged glances. Qian Duoduo and Xian Lin'er, sitting opposite, also looked over at this moment. Wasn't this meeting called by the Martial Soul Department (Soul Guidance System) to contend for Huo Yutong?
"First matter. Let's resolve the conflict between the Soul Guidance System and the Martial Soul Department." Mu En looked at the few people who were holding back their words. "Shao Zhe, you speak first."
"Yes."
Yan Shaozhe stood up, bowed slightly, and then spoke, "Teacher, esteemed elders, the conflict between our Martial Soul Department and the Soul Guidance System is due to an exceptionally talented student, Huo Yutong, who has just entered her second year."
"A year ago, she entered the academy disguised as a boy through the Tang Sect's special recruitment quota… She has twin spirits. Her first Spirit is the body martial soul, Spirit Eyes, which has very likely undergone a secondary awakening. Her second Spirit is the Ice Dragon King, one of the nine sons of the Dragon God, which is a legendary Spirit. Teacher can attest to this."
"Mm."
Mu En nodded lightly. "It's a Pole Ice attribute, and its Spirit is far more powerful than my Light Holy Dragon, even possessing its own Domain."
A look of surprise flashed in the eyes of the elders. If these words hadn't come from Mu Lao's mouth, they would have thought it was some fabricated, bizarre story.
"Wait, I have two questions." An old man looked at Yan Shaozhe.
"Old Song, please speak."
"Why did Huo Yutong enter Shrek disguised as a boy? Why did she, who was only at rank eleven at the start of the first semester, become a twin spirits genius with the Ice Dragon King, a divine Spirit that only exists in legends, after just one holiday?"
The Crown Prince is about to arrive at his loyal Shrek!
