After the three of them finished packing, they walked out of the manor and headed towards the school gate. Many students from the Academy greeted Ye Liangchen and the other two as they left.
When the three arrived at the school gate, they happened to meet Mo Xue and Liya, who were on duty. Seeing Ye Liangchen and the two girls going out together, both girls started to tease them.
"Oh, wow! Bing'er, Zhuqing, you two said you were going to get a spirit ring, but I think you're just going on a honeymoon with Xiao Chen Didi."
"That's right! Xiao Chen Didi, having two beautiful women accompany you is truly enviable!"
Mo Xue and Liya were also classmates with Shui Bing'er, but their aptitude was slightly worse. They were already 16 years old, and their spirit power was only at level 33 and 34 respectively.
"What are you two talking about?"
"Liya, Mo Xue, we're leaving, goodbye."
Shui Bing'er couldn't help but laugh and cry as she saw the two girls' aunt-like smiles.
"Goodbye, two older sisters."
Zhu Zhuqing's face turned bright red after being teased by the two girls, but upon closer thought, it really was as the two girls said. After all, the time she spent adventuring in the mountains with this man was truly wonderful.
"Two older sisters, I'll send you some gifts when we return."
Ye Liangchen waved to Liya and Mo Xue, then left the Academy with Shui Bing'er and Zhu Zhuqing.
"Xiao Chen Didi, be careful on your journey, go and return soon, and protect Bing'er and Zhuqing Meimei."
The two girls urged the trio to pay attention to safety, and as they watched their figures gradually disappear, they sighed.
"The man is handsome, the women are beautiful, it's truly good."
"Sister, do you think Xiao Chen Didi will be taken by Bing'er this time?"
"That's hard to say, and there's also that big-chested girl. Xiao Chen Didi is truly blessed."
"I'm so envious of them. At this moment, I want to find a man and fall in love."
"Haha…! Liya, I think you're feeling amorous, aren't you?"
"Mo Xue, aren't you the same? Let's not make fun of each other, hahahaha…"
After the two girls finished speaking, they laughed heartily without any regard for their image, acting like two hooligans.
...
After leaving the Academy, Ye Liangchen and the two girls headed towards Tianshui City, planning to buy some outdoor living supplies in the city. After all, they were going to Sunset Forest this time, which would take a long time.
To avoid revealing their identities, the three of them wore casual clothes. Ye Liangchen, as usual, transformed into another handsome man using his Dream Mask, and Zhu Zhuqing also put away her cat ears and tail headwear to avoid unnecessary trouble.
"Zhuqing, since you joined Tianshui Academy, you haven't revealed your identity. Do you think the Star Luo Royal Family might think you've disappeared from this World?"
Since the Xiao Maomi started adventuring with Ye Liangchen, she learned to hide. It was the same after she came to Tianshui Academy; every time she left the school gate, she would take off her tail and cat ear decorations.
To hide her identity, she had never gone to the Spirit Hall branch in Tianshui City to receive Spirit Master subsidies. After all, she now had 80,000 gold coin and wasn't short on money.
"Chen Ge, since I was six, I haven't had a good Life at home. My elder sister often sent people to scare me to prevent me from becoming strong, making me unable to cultivate peacefully, and I lived in fear every day. My parents also stood by coldly, saying it was a family rule. Sometimes I felt like I was superfluous."
"Now that I think about it, I was just a pawn in the family that could be sacrificed at any time. That cold and ruthless family holds no presence for me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have desperately fled from it."
"After coming to Tianshui Academy, I finally understood what Life was like. There's no scheming here, no infighting; everyone cares for each other. For us women, this place is simply heaven."
"Chen Ge, Bing'er Jie, thank you for your help."
After Zhu Zhuqing finished speaking, she respectfully bowed to the two.
"Alright! Zhuqing Meimei, don't say such things, we're all family now."
Shui Bing'er helped Zhu Zhuqing up and reached out to block the Xiao Maomi's large chest, thinking, how could this girl be so careless? With such a hot figure, and you still bow, there's a man here.
Zhu Zhuqing also realized it and immediately blushed, but she didn't mind. After all, Chen Ge wasn't an outsider, and it didn't matter if he saw it.
Looking at Ye Liangchen, who stood calmly beside her, Zhu Zhuqing pulled Shui Bing'er a distance ahead, looked at her sincerely, and whispered.
"Bing'er Jie, everything I have now was given by Chen Ge. I have no way to repay him, I only hope to follow him forever, even as a maid. You don't mind, do you?"
Zhu Zhuqing knew that Shui Bing'er and her sister would marry Ye Liangchen in the future. This matter was already widely known in the Academy. She also wanted to join and sought the opinion of Da Jie Tou Shui Bing'er.
"Zhuqing, we are good sisters and will always be together. Don't say such things anymore in the future."
Shui Bing'er looked at the Xiao Maomi, thinking that her mother had long acquiesced to her joining, otherwise how could she have allowed her to enter the Academy? Moreover, her mother had also said that she should actively accept the Xiao Maomi, which would be of great help for Xiao Chen's future unification of the Star Luo Empire. As the Da Jie Tou, she needed to have a long-term vision and not be petty.
"Bing'er Jie, thank you. I won't compete for anything, I just hope to be by your side, that's enough." Zhu Zhuqing was very excited to see Da Jie Tou agree and immediately hugged Shui Bing'er.
"Zhuqing Meimei, Mother said you met Xiao Chen Didi in Star Dou Forest when you were little. Could it be that you already... fell for him back then?"
"Bing'er Jie, Chen Ge saved me from the wolves back then, I'll never forget it. Later, when I escaped from the Star Luo Empire, it was to find him..."
"This Xiao Jiahuo, he's only 6 and already knows how to charm, really."
"Bing'er Jie, Chen Ge was still young then, how could he have thought of such things?"
...
The two girls embraced each other, quietly whispering, which greatly surprised Ye Liangchen from a distance, as if he had discovered a huge piece of gossip.
"Lan Jie, do you think there's something going on between them?" Ye Liangchen communicated with Blue Silver Emperor through his soul.
"Ah! Xiao Chen, why are you thinking nonsense? I heard them discussing something about you."
Blue Silver Emperor quietly extended a branch from Ye Liangchen's collar, sensing the conversation between the two girls.
"Discussing something about me? What is there to discuss about me? Lan Jie, hide well, I'll play a trick on them."
"You! You're just a mischievous one."
Looking at this playful Xiao Jiahuo, Blue Silver Emperor retracted her branch, but she found it quite amusing.
"Hey! Xiao Maomi, Bing'er Jie, why are you two hugging while talking? Could it be that there's a story?"
Seeing the two girls' affectionate Appearance, Ye Liangchen showed a look of a spectator and shouted at them, which made Shui Bing'er roll her eyes.
"You stinky Didi, what are you saying? You only know how to think nonsense."
Shui Bing'er walked over, grabbed Ye Liangchen's ear, and rubbed his face, not letting him think nonsense.
"Bing'er Jie, I'm not thinking nonsense. It's just that your actions with Xiao Maomi just now could make others think nonsense, hahahaha...!"
"Fortunately, no one else passed by at this time, otherwise the misunderstanding would be huge."
Ye Liangchen couldn't help but laugh as he looked at Shui Bing'er's exasperated expression.
"You're still laughing? Zhuqing Meimei, help me tickle him."
"Ah... oh..."
Da Jie Tou Shui Bing'er had spoken, and the Xiao Maomi had to obey. So she immediately stepped forward, extended a pair of cat paws, and began to tickle Ye Liangchen.
"You stinky Didi, you were so well-behaved when you were little, but now that you've grown up, you actually tease your elder sister." Shui Bing'er tickled Ye Liangchen with her hand while pretending to sternly lecture the Xiao Jiahuo.
"Two beauties, stop tickling, I won't laugh anymore. Don't worry, I didn't see anything just now, and I didn't hear anything."
Ye Liangchen pushed away the two girls' paws, quickly dodged, and ran forward, leaving the two girls stomping their feet behind him.
After a playful skirmish, the three of them were in a very good mood and continued on their way. Especially the Xiao Maomi, she never expected Da Jie Tou Shui Bing'er to be so generous, it was truly surprising.
"Zhuqing, I'm thinking, now that you've disappeared, the Youming Spirit Cat Family and the Hell White Tiger Dai Family can't find your whereabouts. They might choose another girl from your Zhu Family to team up with Dai Mubai and participate in the Royal Family's competition."
"Chen Ge, what you said makes sense. If the Royal Family were to pick another suitable girl from our Zhu Family to pair with Dai Mubai, they could only choose from the collateral branches, since my second sister is already crippled and just an ordinary person."
"Zhuqing Meimei, the girls of your Zhu Family are really pitiful, they feel like tools."
"Bing'er Jie, you're right. Unless they were born early and had relatively high talent, like my eldest sister, who held all the advantages, our younger sisters born later simply couldn't compete with her."
"The marriage alliance between the Dai Family and the Zhu Family is also for the Martial Soul Fusion Skill of the Hell White Tiger, to maintain their rule. And the high-ranking members of the Zhu Family also gained power and wealth through the marriage alliance. The price is the sacrifice of these direct line girls of your Zhu Family. Strictly speaking, the Youming Spirit Cat Family is considered a vassal of the Dai Family."
"Chen Ge, you're right. In our generation, the eldest sister benefits, while my second sister and I have to sacrifice."
Zhu Zhuqing felt very unfair when discussing the Star Luo Royal Family's competition rules with the two. Before, when she was at home, her horizons were still narrow, and her elders told her that this was a family rule passed down through generations. Now that she had come to Tianshui Academy, her knowledge and horizons had expanded. Looking back at the Star Luo Royal Family's competition rules, they were simply inhumane.
"Zhuqing, don't think too much. When you get stronger in the future, just destroy the Dai Family, and then you will control the entire Star Luo Empire. All the rules will be set by you."
Ye Liangchen directly and domineeringly set a small goal for Zhu Zhuqing. When the Xiao Maomi becomes the empress, he will be the empress's husband.
"Xiao Chen, your goal is too big!" Shui Bing'er looked at the guy beside her. At such a young age, he actually said such domineering words.
"Chen... Chen Ge, you can't be serious, can you?"
Zhu Zhuqing was so startled by Ye Liangchen's words that she stammered. Making herself an empress and ruling the entire Star Luo Empire, that was too bold.
"Xiao Maomi, what I said is certainly true. I said before that I want ninety-nine percent of the entire World, and as for who becomes the Emperor, I have the final say."
"Bing'er Jie, if you want to be the Heaven Dou Empire empress, I will conquer it for you in the future. Anyway, those people in the Heaven Dou Empire Royal Family are not good people either."
Ye Liangchen had already planned it out. This is how he would arrange things in the future. Qian Renxue, that masochist, could be subdued as long as he beat her into submission. In the future, he would let her manage Spirit Hall well. As for the Pope Bibi Dong, if she dared to cause him trouble, he would deal with her then.
"You brat, all day long, you only know how to boast."
Shui Bing'er shook her head helplessly. This guy was only a Spirit Ancestor, yet he dared to say such big words. He was really unreliable.
"Pfft...! Chen Ge, let's talk about future matters when we have the strength."
Looking at Ye Liangchen's serious expression, Zhu Zhuqing didn't think he was boasting. After all, the changes this man brought to everyone were too miraculous.
"Mother said you went to Heaven Dou City before and didn't learn anything else, just how to boast."
"Don't boast in front of your elder sister in the future, let's go quickly."
Shui Bing'er put her arm around Ye Liangchen's arm and walked forward. The Xiao Maomi behind also immediately stepped forward and put her arm around the guy's other arm, letting him enjoy the bliss of having two women.
The morning sun shone on the three young people, leaving behind three beautiful silhouettes.
...
At the same time, in a council hall in the Star Luo Empire imperial palace, Star Luo Emperor Dai Tianfeng and Zhu Family Head Zhu Tianlie gathered to discuss the matter of Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai.
"Marshal Zhu, is there still no news of that Little girl Zhuqing?"
Dai Tianfeng asked Zhu Tianlie, Zhu Zhuqing's father. The matter of the Little girl running away with an unknown youth and even killing members of the Royal Family made him lose a lot of face.
"Your Majesty, our people have inquired in various major cities of the Heaven Dou Empire, but have found no clue about Zhuqing. We even checked with the various Spirit Hall branches, but did not find any record of that girl receiving Spirit Master subsidies."
"I don't even know if that girl is still alive now? It feels like she has disappeared from this World forever."
Zhu Tianlie helplessly waved his hand. He had previously sent people to investigate in the Heaven Dou Empire, but those people were still inquiring with cat ears + tail appearances, so they couldn't find her at all. Plus, the Xiao Maomi had joined Tianshui Academy without anyone knowing, and she usually didn't leave the Academy, so those people could only investigate for nothing.
"Mubai is already studying at Four-Eyed Cat Owl Flander's Shrek Academy. Since we can't find Zhuqing, then let's select another suitable girl from the Zhu Family as a backup to pair with Mubai in the Soul Master Competition. The Empire Royal Family's succession competition cannot just be abandoned like this."
"Sooner or later, the truth will come out. I want to see who is so bold as to dare to slap the face of my Star Luo Empire."
To better train Dai Weisi, Dai Tianfeng had no choice but to formulate a new backup plan, asking the Zhu Family to provide another girl to team up with Dai Mubai.
"Your Majesty, that's the only way."
The two old men discussed it and selected an 18-year-old Spirit Elder girl from a collateral branch of the Zhu Family. When the Soul Master Competition began, she would team up with Dai Mubai.
Initially, the girl's parents were unwilling, but Zhu Tianlie promised their family that she only needed to participate in one competition, and even if she lost, there would be no danger to her Life, and she would also receive family resource support until the Soul Master Competition. So, the girl had no choice but to accept this task.
In reality, Zhu Tianlie was just using that girl as a tool to appease Dai Tianfeng. How could she possibly win against Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun?
