"Sigh~"
Ma Xiaotao sighed.
She had just signed An Zhen's girlfriend agreement.
One person per night, and she still owed Yu Tong a night. When would it be her turn?
Wait!
Ma Xiaotao tried hard to recall what happened last night. Last night, it wasn't just her and An Zhen; that Gu Yuena seemed to have joined in too.
Could it be…
At night, the bedroom door, which should have been tightly closed, quietly opened a crack. A pair of fiery red eyes silently looked out into the living room. Before long, she saw what she wanted to know.
A silver-haired girl walked out of her bedroom into the living room. As if sensing something, Gu Yuena turned her head, and her purple starlit eyes met the fiery phoenix eyes.
"…"
Gu Yuena had been careless.
The Inverse Scale could erase sounds and block others' spiritual prying, but it didn't have the function of obstructing sight. It could prevent mental and even divine soul probes, but it couldn't stop the naked eye.
If Bi Ji had been there, even though her power was sealed, her Spirit Douluo strength would have been enough to detect the peeping Ma Xiaotao in advance. But Bi Ji had gone back tonight to ask her teacher, Medical Immortal Douluo, for permission to live with her niece Gu Yuena recently. After all, her current identity wasn't the Emerald Swan with nearly 600,000 years of cultivation, but Medical Immortal Douluo's direct disciple and Gu Yuena's aunt.
"Gu Yuena."
Ma Xiaotao pushed open the bedroom door, a bright glint flashing in her fiery red eyes, as if she had caught someone in the act of doing something bad. She whispered, "What are you trying to do?"
Gu Yuena didn't speak and continued walking towards An Zhen's bedroom. An Zhen's bedroom had been burned by Ma Xiaotao during the day, so he was now in another empty room. Gu Yuena, holding a spare key, opened the door. The silver-haired dragon girl turned to look at Ma Xiaotao, her purple starlit eyes gazing at her silently.
Together? Or report her?
Although Gu Yuena didn't speak, Ma Xiaotao felt that Gu Yuena wanted to express exactly that meaning.
Licking the corner of her mouth with her pink tongue, Ma Xiaotao remembered the girlfriend agreement she had signed during the day.
But who was she? She was the Fire Fiend Ma Xiaotao.
"Together, together."
With a joyful smile on her lips, the red-haired older sister, like a cat stealing food, tiptoed and followed Gu Yuena into the room.
"But won't we get caught like this?"
Gu Yuena answered Ma Xiaotao's question with her actions. On the large bed, a beautiful girl with pink-blue hair was smilingly sprawled on the handsome young man's chest. Then, to Ma Xiaotao's surprise, Gu Yuena directly changed Wang Dong'er's position. Her small head was still resting in An Zhen's arms, but the leg that was half-draped over An Zhen was moved aside by Gu Yuena. Faced with such direct contact, Wang Dong'er showed no reaction at all.
Because her consciousness was in the Virtual World.
Gu Yuena began her daily routine (enjoyment).
"Won't this be a bit bad?"
The young girl, stealing for the first time, felt a little uneasy.
Gu Yuena rolled her eyes. If you want it, do it. If you don't, don't. What's there to be so hesitant about? Humans are just troublesome.
"Anyway, Huo Yutong and the others can't do anything else." Ma Xiaotao couldn't resist jumping onto the bed.
Since you can't eat, then let me do it.
Wait, why can Gu Yuena "eat"?
Uncle-Master, you're really "something else."
…
The morning sun rose, awakening this ancient capital that had existed for tens of thousands of years.
Today was an extraordinary day. As early as dawn, this city was already as bustling as it usually was during the day. On the high platform, the Star Luo Emperor, dressed in a bright yellow robe, stood with his hands behind his back, at the best viewing position for the competition. Beside him, two figures, one gold and one silver, stood almost shoulder to shoulder with him. One was gentle and refined, the other shrewd and elegant. They stood just half a step behind the Emperor's position. Even the red-robed Prime Minister stood behind them, which was enough to show their noble status.
"The academy teams are here," Xu Jiawei said.
According to previous rankings, Shrek Academy stood at the very front. A young man and several beautiful girls, each with their own unique charm, immediately became the most dazzling presence on the field, drawing the attention of teachers and students from other academies. But what attracted them was not just their beautiful faces, but also the youthfulness on the faces of these young men and women. Except for the cool, blue-haired girl and the noble, red-haired older sister, the others looked like they weren't even fifteen years old.
Are these members of the reserve team?
Is Shrek Academy only sending two official team members to compete?
"School Master Ning, I heard that your beloved daughter will represent Shrek Academy in this competition?" Xu Jiawei said gently to the elegant golden-haired man beside him.
"My little girl is not exceptionally talented, but she has achieved something."
Ning Yunzhi, who was usually called an old fox by others, couldn't hide the smile in his eyes at this moment. Although he had heard the news before, it was only yesterday that Ning Yunzhi personally witnessed the miracle that had happened to his daughter—the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
"If a thirteen-year-old four-ring Spirit Ancestor is not talented, who can be called a genius?"
"I do know two."
"Oh? I'd like to hear more."
"Lord Hongchen's descendants." Ning Yunzhi looked at the silver-haired elegant middle-aged man. His words, though praising, sounded a bit strange. "I heard that Lord Hongchen's grandson and granddaughter have reached the Spirit King realm at just fifteen years old."
"Truly exceptional talents," Xu Jiawei exclaimed.
Heh, aren't you just mocking us for using medicine to improve cultivation?
Mirror Hongchen put on the same fake smile as Xu Jiawei, "Just a little talent…"
…
"Boring."
An Zhen stood lazily in the team, his consciousness even more lazily lying on the bed in the Virtual World, a delicate small foot swaying in his vision.
Next, the Star Luo Emperor delivered an "important" speech, announcing the official start of the competition, and the referee announced the rules.
"Shrek! Shrek! Shrek…"
The deafening sound almost echoed in every corner.
"Hmm?"
An Zhen's consciousness reluctantly left the cold sensation of Ice Empress's delicate small foot stepping on his face. He had spent a lot of effort just now, and Ice Empress had only then agreed to "humiliate" him a bit.
"What's wrong?"
Having been a bit too immersed in the Virtual World, An Zhen only now noticed reality. He saw that the girls beside him were already standing on the arena surrounded by 108 defensive spirit tools. Now, as An Zhen showed a sleepy expression, almost all the spectators' eyes fell on An Zhen, who was standing alone in the first row.
"Uncle-Master!"
Ma Xiaotao covered her forehead with one hand in exasperation. "Don't mess up right at the start."
"Don't worry." An Zhen genuinely found the upcoming matches boring. He hadn't planned on going up, but the girls felt that for the first match, he, as the captain, should make an appearance.
"This student is quite individual," Xu Jiawei said with a twitch in his mouth from the high platform.
He fell asleep, right? He just fell asleep, didn't he?
"At such a young age, facing such a competition without the slightest nervousness, he truly has the demeanor of a strong person." Ning Yunzhi echoed, speechless.
If he remembered correctly, this was Tian'er's boyfriend, and Tian'er and Xiao Feng's Spirit evolution was because of him.
…
"You just fell asleep?"
On the battleground, the captain of some academy team looked at An Zhen with an unfriendly expression.
"No." This was the truth.
"Then which academy are we?"
"Tian Ling." This was the unlucky team in the original work that ran into Shrek Academy's team right at the start, being the first to be eliminated, making it a one-day trip.
The next moment, the eighteen or nineteen-year-old man's face flushed red, "Divine Eagle, we are Divine Eagle Advanced Academy!"
"Not only do you send a reserve team, but you even sleep before the match, Shrek Academy, I will make you pay the price!"
"That's conserving energy!" An Zhen retorted.
"Both sides retreat," the referee said.
The two teams retreated to the edge of the field.
"Begin!"
Spirit possession.
The Divine Eagle Academy team, with their emotions stirred, swore to teach this arrogant defending champion a lesson.
"I'll do it."
An Zhen took a step forward, and his soul voice sounded in the ears of the girls. The next moment, to the shocked gazes of the entire audience, the six girls of the Shrek team directly jumped off the stage, seemingly in a hurry. Before they could wonder, they quickly understood the reason.
A dazzling fiery red appeared in the competition arena. Under countless astonished gazes, in the brilliant sunlight, it seemed as if a colossal creature was circling above the arena in a trance. The temperature within the arena instantly soared, the extremely high temperature distorting the air.
First Soul Skill, Reflection, Fire Dragon King.
"Roar~"
A domineering and violent dragon roar sounded. Vaguely, in the vision of countless people, it seemed as if a huge Fire Dragon was perched on a throne, hot flames gushing from its body, declaring its power and authority. Extreme Fire appeared out of thin air, surrounding its king like living beings. Rolling heat waves continuously impacted the 108 defensive spirit tools at the edge of the arena, stirring up a red spiritual light.
"A bit lacking."
Illusory crimson-gold scales appeared on An Zhen's body. He extended his fair palm, and an illusory fiery dragon claw emerged, with the violent Extreme Fire docilely appearing within it. Golden-red dragon horns transformed into a crown, and the young man, standing in the void on flames, looked down at his opponents. As soon as the dragon roar sounded, the Divine Eagle team, who had been preparing to implement their tactics, directly fell to the ground. How could ordinary raptors withstand the might of a true dragon? Even the Divine Eagle team captain's Spirit, the Dragon Eagle, which possessed a hint of true dragon bloodline, was at most a sub-dragon.
"To show my respect."
The Fire Dragon King looked at the Divine Eagle Academy team, who had fallen to the ground in disarray. No one dared to meet his crimson-gold vertical pupils, as if a monarch was delivering punishment. "I will give it my all."
"Boom!"
That was the sound of the heat wave condensed from crimson Extreme Fire colliding with the defensive spirit tools. It was precisely because of these defensive spirit tools that the audience outside the arena was not affected by the might of the Fire Dragon King. The terrifying might of the Dragon King and the Extreme Fire now pressed down like a mountain on the hearts of every Spirit Master maintaining the defensive spirit tools. However, as An Zhen's voice sounded, a sense of foreboding emerged in their hearts.
Divine Eagle Academy, you big troublemakers, hurry up and surrender!
