"Um?"
The next moment, Huo Yutong sat up.
Two little hands reached down, the white dress embroidered with blue lace was already a little messy from the pre-sleep exercise, a pair of bright starry eyes were now covered with a layer of mist, and her little face was flushed. It didn't seem like a decision made on the spur of the moment, but rather the excitement of something that had been anticipated and prepared for a long time and was finally about to be achieved.
"Wait!" An Zhen suddenly realized that something was wrong.
A piece of pure white cloth was thrown at An Zhen's face.
She placed her two little hands on the hem of her skirt.
Huo Yutong hadn't experienced it herself, but she had seen it.
Now, it's finally her turn!
However, the next moment, a pair of arms passed under her armpits and lifted her up.
"Huh?" Huo Yutong was puzzled. This shouldn't be the next step.
"Yu Tong is trying to run away." An Zhen gently put the girl in his arms.
With two small hands gripping An Zhen's wrists, Huo Yutong said in a somewhat hesitant tone, "If we don't run away soon, Gu Yuena will be pregnant with An Zhen's child."
"Probably not." An Zhen shook his head.
He is human, Gu Yuena is the True Dragon.
However, dragons, like most creatures including humans, do not have reproductive barriers due to their supernatural powers, as do most Spirit Beasts. Yet, they still struggle to conceive.
Furthermore, although Gu Yuena has sealed her power, she is still a true and powerful god. Her severe injuries have greatly weakened her power, but her Life level is still at the God-King level. An Zhen's soul has a high status, and although her physical body is powerful, she is still below the level of a god.
The difference between species and the level of life.
Even during the fertile window, the chances of getting pregnant are not much better than winning the lottery.
However, it seems like he buys lottery tickets a bit too often.
Probably not.
"I don't plan to have children before I try to become a god," An Zhen said softly after explaining to Huo Yutong.
It's not that I don't like children.
A little cutie who is connected to him by blood.
An Zhen certainly wanted it.
But now is the age to take risks.
Everything is still not settled.
Wait until he becomes a god.
He will give his future children the good things in this world.
Nowadays, having a child not only requires taking care of them, but also involves letting the child share the risks of the future.
"I see." Huo Yutong nodded gently.
I'm a little disappointed.
" Yu Tong will definitely be a good mother in the future." An Zhen hugged Huo Yu Tong and gently rubbed the girl's soft cheek. "But it's not the right time yet."
An Zhen's tone was very certain.
Wang Donger is very qualified to speak on this matter.
...
On the other hand,
An Zhen's bedroom.
"It seems like my lord is calling me." Zi Ji blinked. The Hell Demonic Dragon King, infamous throughout the human world, had deep purple eyes filled with confusion.
Should she go there or not?
The owner seemed to be preventing her from going over.
"I'll listen to you, Uncle," An Qiuer said. "How's the situation now?"
"The master has already gagged the lord."
"Then it's alright."
Compared to Zi Ji, Emperor Rui Beast, who has always been the darling of Star Dou Great Forest, An Qiuer did not worship the Silver Dragon King, whom she had only heard about from Di Tian six months ago, as a god; she felt he was more like an elder.
An Qiuer's stunning figure couldn't be hidden by her thin short-sleeved shirt and shorts.
An Qiuer lay lazily on the bed, her golden eyes revealing a hint of regret and a wronged expression.
She didn't even finish the last step, and she already didn't get much, and now two more people have come along wanting to share. Plus, there are potential Xu Tianzhen and Ye Guyi... Hmm, I feel like she's having a really tough time!
Time passed by second by second, and the joyful night quickly came to an end.
Early morning.
"Classes today will be postponed until 2 PM." An Zhen informed Luan Feng of this using the communication spirit tool inside Mingde Hall.
A petite figure lay on An Zhen's lap.
An Zhen reached out and gently stroked Huo Yutong's little head.
Beside her, Gu Yuena lay in a comfortable bed, her peaceful sleeping face inspiring admiration. A few tear stains still lingered at the corners of her eyes, and her thin, alluring cherry lips curved into a smile. A trace of previous pleasure remained on her face, and her fair shoulders were exposed to the air.
An Zhen's room.
"Knock knock knock~"
Xu Tianzhen opened the door. Ye Guyi, who had already gotten up, washed, and done her morning exercise, walked in. Miss Angel was carrying several insulated lunch boxes. "The teacher sent a message this morning saying that she wouldn't be preparing breakfast, so I went to the academy cafeteria and brought some."
The living room contained several beautiful young women, each with their own unique charm, and a mature, older woman.
Meng Hongchen, An Qiuer, Zi Ji, Xu Tianzhen.
"Thank you for your hard work, Gu Yi." Meng Hongchen reached out and took it, placing it on the table.
"Is there anything the teacher has to do this morning?" Ye Guyi asked, puzzled. The teacher usually gets up around this time and asks her to come here for breakfast, and this has been the routine for the past few months.
Holding a steamed bun in both hands, Xu Tianzhen curiously raised her head upon hearing this. She was wearing a white nightgown with gold trim, and her two pink little feet were gently swinging in the air.
"They're with Huo Yutong and Gu Yuena," An Qiuer said calmly, taking a bite of her steamed bun. She couldn't reveal True Dragon's identity, and since her uncle hadn't provided a proper title, she could only address him by his name.
"Who?" Ye Guyi felt that these two unfamiliar names sounded somewhat familiar.
Oh, right!
The two girls in Shrek's group who came yesterday have this name.
"Xiao Zhen's ex-girlfriend from Shrek Academy." Meng Hongchen took a big bite of her steamed bun.
Those two despicable guys.
These two people stole a portion of what was in her "home" while she was away.
"Huh?" Ye Guyi was a little confused.
She can understand each word individually, but why can't she understand them when they're put together?
Did the teacher work at Shrek Academy?
Is he having a romantic relationship with two female students from Shrek Academy?!
Really?
"Bone Robe, oh Bone Robe." Meng Hongchen knew that Ye Guyi wouldn't pretend, given her personality.
"Haven't you inquired about Xiao Zhen's true identity all this time?" Meng Hongchen asked with a hint of helplessness.
When no one else is around, Xiao Zhen always uses his true appearance in front of them. He doesn't intend to hide this from Ye Guyi either; according to Xiao Zhen, Ye Guyi has signed a confidentiality agreement.
"Why do you want to know the teacher's identity?" Ye Guyi shook his head.
To her.
The teacher gifted him a 100,000-year-old Spirit Bone.
Use undead creatures to help her increase her spirit power.
He guided her in her cultivation.
And then there was the knowledge she had never encountered before, those powerful self-created spirit powers. Ye Guyi felt that her understanding of light and purification had deepened, as had her knowledge and mastery of the Holy Angel.
For the common people.
Annihilate the Evil Soul Master.
A miracle by angels.
Strengthen infrastructure construction.
Various policies that benefit the people. Although she heard that some people were dissatisfied, they were all suppressed by the Empire's higher-ups.
He was deeply loved by the people.
These are all things Ye Guyi personally witnessed and experienced.
The teacher was a wonderful person and treated her very well, like family. Ye Guyi, an orphan since childhood, truly experienced the warmth of home here.
"Take a look."
Meng Hongchen took out a stack of newspapers from his storage spirit tool.
This content comes from reports by several newspapers about the previous Soul Fighting Tournament.
Meng Hongchen specially cut out the part about Xiao Zhen's brother from the top to keep as a personal collection.
Ye Guyi took it.
"Hmm?"
"Um?"
"ah?"
Ye Guyi quickly finished browsing through the text, reading ten lines at a glance.
My head feels a mess, and I'm filled with surprise.
"But, isn't the teacher someone who can kill Limit Douluo?"
Why are these listed as Shrek Academy's reserve team members from the last Soul Tournament? Ye Guyi remembers that for that tournament, participants couldn't be older than twenty. What is that ability to copy spirits? The teacher's Spirit isn't a Holy Angel, but a Spirit that looks like an evil Spirit.
"You'll have to ask Brother Xiao Zhen yourself." Meng Hongchen put down the bowl of soup. "Your teacher and An Zhen from Shrek Academy are actually the same person."
Ye Guyi looked at the others.
"Don't look at me." Xu Tianzhen shook his head. "I also have that contract. Our situations are similar."
An Qiuer shook her head.
Murasaki continued eating.
They can't reveal what they know.
"Hmm." A complex look appeared in Ye Guyi's blue eyes. She shook her head, as if trying to shake off these chaotic thoughts. The girl's firm voice rang out, "Anyway, to me, a teacher is a teacher."
"That's fine, don't overthink it." Meng Hongchen nodded gently and pushed a plate of food in front of Ye Guyi. "Let's eat quickly."
Over the course of several months, through their frequent interactions, the girls had become quite familiar with each other, and their impressions of the others were roughly as follows:
An Qiuer: Her stunning looks and perfect figure leave a lasting impression. She has a knack for novelty towards many things and especially loves to cling to An Zhen. She usually appears lazy, but when she actually fights, she's like a Valkyrie sweeping across the battlefield. Even if Ye Guyi and Meng Hongchen fight with all their might, they can't pose much of a threat to her.
Zi Ji: Rarely speaks, said to be An Qiuer's bodyguard, whose master is An Zhen. Her true form is Hell Demonic Dragon King, one of the ten most ferocious beasts on the continent. When Ye Guyi learned this, she was startled, then filled with admiration for her teacher—how could she have subdued such a terrifying beast? After spending some time together, Meng Hongchen and Ye Guyi discovered that she was actually quite easy to get along with, to them. To outsiders, she was as cold as a sword.
Meng Hongchen: An Zhen's childhood friend, a lively and beautiful young woman. She's a cool and aloof genius in public, but at home she's like a clingy little sister to An Zhen. Although she was initially hostile towards An Qiuer and Zi Ji, as a native of Mingdu and the young lady of Mingde Hall, she takes great care of the other girls. She especially acts like an elder or mentor to Ye Guyi.
Ye Guyi: Outwardly, she presents herself as a cool and aloof beauty, resilient, kind, and brave... like a perfect knight from a novel, possessing all sorts of admirable virtues. She also hates evil, is intelligent, but very serious, so it's best not to joke with her. Her daily life is mostly very regular, making her the most diligent among them, and she obeys her teacher An Zhen's every word.
Xu Tianzhen: I heard she used to be a willful little princess, but now she's usually carefree, though sometimes quiet. Her lively and adorable appearance makes people feel close to her. After such a tragedy in her family, although she still retains some childlike qualities, besides cultivating her skills, she is also learning to become a qualified monarch.
"I'm done eating." Xu Tianzhen put down her chopsticks, her delicate pink feet slipping into slippers as she returned to her bedroom. Her petite figure sat at her desk, her face showing less of a childlike innocence and more of a poignant maturity.
Xu Tianzhen is reviewing memorials.
Although her work wasn't particularly important—because her corrections would be reviewed and revised by someone else afterward— Xu Tianzhen always approached it with utmost seriousness, her small hand holding the pen as she carefully wrote down her thoughtful suggestions.
The Soul Guidance Corps guards the region, and the court officials handle Empire affairs. The seemingly invincible Regent is like a guiding star, ensuring the Empire is impervious to any storm. Compared to all this, the girl sitting on the throne seems like nothing more than a mascot.
"It's all corrected." Xu Tianzhen's attention was finally drawn away from the not-so-easy task, though he didn't know how much time had passed.
"Well done." A clear voice rang out from the side.
An Zhen appeared beside Xu Tianzhen at some point, his dark eyes scrutinizing the memorials Xu Tianzhen was revising. From his unprofessional perspective, all of Xu Tianzhen's suggestions were reasonable and demonstrated his ability to solve problems.
"Didn't you go to find those two people from Shrek Academy?" Xu Tianzhen asked, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. Her tone was now completely devoid of the unease and panic she had shown before.
"We can't keep doing this forever," An Zhen said with a smile, her gaze falling on Xu Tianzhen's delicate pink feet that were gently swaying in the air.
"You pervert." Xu Tianzhen blushed.
Based on so many experiences...
Xu Tianzhen instantly knew what An Zhen wanted.
"I'm looking forward to when my relationship with Little Tianzhen will reach that point," An Zhen said softly, holding Xu Tianzhen's fair ankles in his hands.
Feelings can develop over time.
The serious, formal kind of meaning.
This word is explained very aptly.
However, things will progress even better if some intimate contact is added.
"Tonight, shall I hold Your Majesty while we sleep?"
"According to the original agreement, last night was my time." Xu Tianzhen puffed out her cheeks, a little angry. "It was a pre-arranged agreement, but you didn't keep it."
I'll step on you!
A delicate, jade-like foot broke free from An Zhen's hand, and the pink heel stepped on An Zhen's forehead.
She fell asleep in An Zhen's arms time and time again, and woke up in An Zhen's arms time and time again in an intimate embrace.
In addition, there was the gentleness that Xu Tianzhen usually felt.
The girl's guard and resistance gradually disappeared.
If someone has experienced the vicissitudes of life and encountered all sorts of things, big and small, they certainly wouldn't let down their guard so quickly. But Xu Tianzhen's life has only just begun to unfold a few exciting chapters.
Once you've done it the first time, you'll do it a second, a third, and countless more times.
Once you start trying to make contact and can't resist, and then demand more, you're destined to fall for them.
