It wasn't until evening that they finally arrived at Ice-Congealing City. This was thanks to the fact that the city wasn't too far from Suotuo City, combined with the sheer speed of the luxury carriage.
Throughout the journey, Zhu Zhuyun clung tightly to Fu Ye's arm, burying it within her towering peaks, her eyes shimmering with unmistakable pink hearts. Meanwhile, the young Zhu Zhuqing took advantage of the time to enter a meditative cultivation state. Once Zhu Zhuyun had recovered her strength and saw her sister cultivating, she began to get a bit restless—though it was limited to kisses and affectionate touches.
"Master, do you like Zhuyun?" She lay in Fu Ye's arms, her wild brown eyes filled with longing.
"Little servant, you're overstepping your bounds," Fu Ye said, before pressing a deep, fiery kiss onto her lips.
After an unknown amount of time, they finally reached their destination. Having rested all afternoon, Zhu Zhuyun was finally able to walk normally again. Zhu Zhuqing also ceased her cultivation, looking at her flushed and alluring sister with a sense of strangeness. In her memory, her sister had always kept any member of the opposite sex at a distance, yet here she was, completely infatuated with Fu Ye.
"We're here. Follow me."
During the afternoon in the carriage, Fu Ye had nearly set up a barrier to "handle" her again; she was far too good at fanning the flames. It was truly hard to believe she had been a virgin until recently.
"Big Brother Fu... where are we going?" Zhu Zhuqing asked, puzzled.
Fu Ye patted her shoulder gently. "For the foreseeable future, you will both study here at Tianshui Academy."
He led the sisters toward the northern side of the city. The temperature here was several degrees lower, carrying a refreshing chill, though such a small change meant nothing to Spirit Masters of their level.
"Tianshui Academy?" Both sisters were stunned. They had heard of its reputation—a school that only accepted girls and was the only one among the Four Element Academies willing to take in commoners.
"That's right. I have a young disciple here. Zhuyun, you'll study and live here with Zhuqing. Since you've been so... proactive, I'll take care of the trouble back in Star Luo for you."
Zhu Zhuqing: Huh??? Zhu Zhuyun: !!!
"What! You know our—" Not just Zhuyun, even Zhuqing was startled. He knew their true identities!
"Just the Zhu Clan of the Star Luo Empire, right? I'll pay them a visit eventually. For now, don't worry about it." Fu Ye smiled calmly. "The captain of the Tianshui Team, Shui Bing'er, and Xue Wu are the same age as Zhuyun. I'm sure you'll get along."
He knew that Wu Ling had already integrated perfectly with the girls there. As for Xiao Wu, she had earned unanimous praise from the Tianshui team over the last two years. With tens of thousands of years of experience, her insights into cultivation were far superior to most Title Douluos, making her a natural teacher for Spirit Ancestors and Spirit Elders.
Inside the academy, since it was already night, Fu Ye didn't want to disturb the students, so he simply leaped over the wall. However, his presence immediately caught the attention of Liu Erlong, an Ultimate Douluo. In an instant, she appeared before him. Realizing it was Fu Ye, she gave him a fierce bear hug followed by a highly aggressive, passionate kiss.
The sisters watched in shock. Who was this beautiful woman? Judging by her attitude toward Fu Ye, their relationship was clearly anything but ordinary!
After the kiss, Liu Erlong glanced at the sisters. "You bad guy, weren't me and Little Sister Xiao Wu enough?"
She walked over, her fiery red eyes gleaming with mischief as she looked at the two look-alikes. She pinched Zhuyun's cheek and whispered in her ear: "If this bad guy bullies you again, tell me. I'll help you punish him."
Zhuyun was confused. "Sister... you don't blame me?" Usually, "stealing" someone's man led to fury, not a welcoming hug.
"Why would I blame you? This guy is too strong. I'm an Ultimate Douluo and Xiao Wu is a Super Douluo, yet even we can't keep him down. More sisters mean more help," Erlong whispered.
Ultimate Douluo! Zhuyun froze. This red-haired woman was at the peak of power!
"Then... why are you so sure it's me? Couldn't it have been my sister?" Zhuyun asked, perplexed.
"Sister, you don't understand. Fu Ye isn't interested in little girls who haven't 'blossomed' yet, like your sister. When I met him at fifteen, it took until I was nineteen to finally 'get' him through forceful means..."
Liu Erlong began rambling about her past experiences, and Zhuyun was so intrigued she almost took out a notebook. Suddenly, Fu Ye's large hand covered Erlong's mouth. "Mmph, mmph!"
He didn't dare let her continue. Zhu Zhuqing was already blushing so hard she was practically steaming; she didn't need to hear these private details.
"You're still the same wild girl you were years ago."
"Hmph! You're the man I worked so hard to get. What's wrong with talking about it?"
Zhu Zhuyun: (p≧w≦q) Zhu Zhuqing: o(*￣3￣)o
Two and a half minutes later.
"This will be your apartment. It's a newly renovated detached building, perfect for two," Liu Erlong said with a nod.
Fu Ye added, "Training starts tomorrow at 9:45 AM sharp with the Tianshui team. If you want to cultivate instead of sleep, there are mimicked cultivation environments to the east."
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes lit up. This was exactly what she needed to get stronger! Though, looking at it now, she didn't feel like she was running for her life anymore.
Once the sisters went inside, Liu Erlong's gaze toward Fu Ye turned hungry.
"What? You want me to be the Dragon Rider again?"
"Hehe, not necessarily. This time, I'll be the Dragon, and you'll be the Knight!"
