Tianshui Academy's ReactionIn the Starry Sky Forest, there is an uninhabited cave.
As the sun rose and set, faint, alluring moans could be heard drifting from within the cave…
Several days later.
"We're leaving, Dai Yao."
In the pitch-black cave, Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu, one on each side, were escorted to the cave entrance by Dai Yao, who held their slender waists. Shui Bing'er gently pushed Dai Yao away, helped Xue Wu, who also had difficulty walking, to her feet, gave Dai Yao a slight glare, and said softly.
Several days and nights passed, and the two women's clothes were full of wrinkles, which was a testament to the brutal battles they had endured.
However, the two women's faces were incredibly rosy and radiant, and their spirits and complexions were better than ever before. Even Shui Bing'er, who had a cold and aloof demeanor in front of outsiders, would show a genuine smile when she saw Dai Yao.
"I apologize for my abruptness this time. When the time is right, I will personally go to Tianshui Academy to give you an explanation."
He stepped forward, took the hands of the two women, looked at their beautiful faces, and solemnly promised them.
At this moment, Dai Yao had returned to normal. His once black hair had turned golden again, and his once sinister eyes had transformed back into a sacred gold.
This time he lost consciousness, which led to an irreparable 'mistake'. If the two girls hadn't forgiven him and the ending hadn't been good, he really wouldn't have been able to get past his conscience.
Hearing Dai Yao's words, Xue Wu nodded happily, enduring the pain in her groin, and went to Dai Yao's side to straighten his slightly wrinkled clothes.
Upon touching this chest that had been intimately pressed against countless times, she couldn't help but blush. While tidying herself, she softly said:
"This isn't your fault. Bing'er and I both know that you lost your mind too. However, for me, if it weren't for this accident, I would never have been able to be with you. To be honest, I'm actually quite grateful that you lost your mind this time."
"The person you really need to win over is Bing'er."
She turned around and winked at Shui Bing'er. Shui Bing'er smiled helplessly. Only now did she realize that among them, Xue Wu was the one most deeply in love with Dai Yao. She seemed the most heroic and dashing, but in reality, she was the most hopelessly immersed in romantic love.
Xuewu continued:
"I know you are powerful, but you are only one person. There are far too many dangers in the Star Dou Great Forest, so you must be careful."
She knew that Dai Yao was a man destined for great things, and that trying to change his mind with her own ideas would likely backfire. Therefore, she simply reminded him of safety and didn't say anything more.
Dai Yao nodded and gently stroked Xue Wu's short, gray-blue hair.
Xue Wu smiled and nodded, then turned to Shui Bing'er and said, "Alright, I've said goodbye. It's your turn, Bing'er."
Shui Bing'er felt somewhat helpless as Xue Wu pushed her in front of Dai Yao. Her long, slender legs stood straight and graceful before Dai Yao. She quietly gazed at the person who had taken away her most precious treasure, her fists clenching unconsciously. Her usually calm heart was now rippled with emotion.
He once said that he would repay Dai Yao for saving his life, but why did he feel reluctant to part with her when they were about to separate?
Could it be that I have really fallen in love with Dai Yao?
Her long, flowing, light blue hair swayed gently as she looked at Dai Yao. Suddenly, she felt uneasy, her hands instinctively brushing a stray strand of hair behind her ear. Meeting Dai Yao's gaze, she bit her lip lightly, and after a long pause, said earnestly:
"Dai Yao, Xiao Xue and I will keep your martial soul a secret. The secret of your twin martial souls is known to all. Now that you have created the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger martial soul, all the soul masters in the world probably want to study you thoroughly. You must not reveal your identity."
"Otherwise, there will be no place for you on the mainland."
Upon hearing this, Dai Yao was taken aback, then nodded emphatically. Shui Bing'er was different from ordinary girls; she could always offer advice from the most rational perspective, and it was only at such times that one could see the radiant beauty of this aloof flower in bloom.
He didn't want Shui Bing'er to leave him. The word "evil" was still whispering in his ear, urging him on. Without further hesitation, he pressed his lips to Shui Bing'er's pinkish-purple lips.
'Evil' was right. Just like a few days ago, Shui Bing'er is a very opinionated woman. Normal people are hesitant and restrained when facing her. If you want to completely possess her, you must break through her indifferent state towards everything. You must attack and attack again and again!
Use the most intimate methods to make her lose her composure.
When she could barely breathe, Shui Bing'er suddenly pushed Dai Yao away, giving him a reproachful glare. Her chest heaved as she gasped for breath, a glistening tear still clinging to the corner of her mouth.
"Haven't you kissed enough after all these days?"
Shui Bing'er complained.
Dai Yao smiled shamelessly:
"This lifetime probably won't be enough."
Shui Bing'er was taken aback and asked, "How long will it take?"
Dai Yao laughed and said, "This life isn't enough, let's talk about it in the next life."
"Wouldn't the next life be enough?"
"Then let's talk about it in the next life."
Shui Bing'er's heart skipped a beat. Since the end of the Continental Soul Master Tournament, she had rarely been angry, but in just a few days, she had lost count of how many times she had gotten angry at Dai Yao. Her almond-shaped eyes widened, and she roared:
"You bastard, I really misjudged you! I used to think you were a gentleman."
Dai Yao said quietly, "But do you like upright gentlemen?"
Shui Bing'er was stunned. Dai Yao's words left her confused. Yes, Dai Yao back then had indeed stirred her feelings, but it wasn't exactly an infatuation. But the Dai Yao she had met now, who was sometimes wicked and domineering, had truly made her feel attracted.
After a long while, as if resigned to her fate, she took the initiative to hug Dai Yao's neck and offered her lips.
The two embraced tightly.
Watching the two deeply moved people, Xuewu felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
Dai Yao's hands were anything but still; clothes fluttered in the wind, and before long, another fierce battle erupted...
······
The next day, at the Tianshui Academy camp.
Xue Wu was kidnapped, and Shui Bing'er chased after her, but did not return for several days, creating a highly tense atmosphere throughout the camp.
"No, we can't wait any longer! Xiaoxue and Bing'er's fate is unknown; we must go find them!"
Yu Hairou stood up and said indignantly.
"Yes, my sister hasn't come back for so many days. Something must have happened to her. If we don't go find her soon, she..."
Shui Yue'er said in a sorrowful voice. She and Shui Bing'er were not only teammates, but also sisters. After her older sister disappeared without a trace, how could she not be extremely anxious?
For a time, the students of Tianshui Academy were all talking about it, and they all wanted to go out and look for Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu.
Just then, a deep voice silenced all the arguing.
"Have you all made enough of a scene?"
The vice-dean stepped out of the tent and into the midst of the women. Upon seeing the vice-dean's cold face, the women had no choice but to back down.
The vice-dean swept her gaze across the girls' faces. Every girl who met her eyes lowered her head unconsciously under her imposing gaze. Only then did the vice-dean coldly say:
"With your limited strength, going out alone in the Star Dou Great Forest would be suicide! If I go to find Bing'er and the others, not to mention whether I can defeat that guy, if I stay here too long, you will all surely die!"
"In a primeval jungle like the Soul Beast Forest, no one talks to us about morality, especially you delicate girls. If you encounter those psychologically disturbed Soul Masters, you'll only suffer a more terrible death!"
"The only option now is to wait here!"
"Either we wait for the academy to send other powerful experts, or we wait for Bing'er and the others to return on their own! These are the two paths! You choose for yourselves!"
Everyone fell silent, because both methods essentially meant they had to wait for Shui Bing'er and the others to return safely.
But will Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu be able to return safely?
That man exudes evil aura, and his methods of killing soul beasts are extremely cruel. If Shui Bing'er and the others fall into that man's hands, they will hardly have a good ending.
The crowd's spirits gradually plummeted. Looking at the bright forest around them, they felt a sense of desolation.
Suddenly, a faint yet familiar fluctuation of soul power emanated from afar, growing ever closer. The women immediately rose, exchanging glances, all seeing the ecstatic joy in each other's eyes.
Those two auras were none other than Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu!
Before long, Shui Bing'er landed in the camp, her icy wings vanishing as they dissolved into flowing water. Setting Xue Wu down, Shui Bing'er looked at the unhealthy complexions on everyone's faces, etched with worry from their prolonged anxiety. A pang of sympathy shot through her, and she said apologetically:
"I'm sorry, everyone, for making you all worry."
"Bing'er, why apologize to us? It's enough that you're back."
One person waved his hand and said.
"Yes, Captain, you apologized to us for saving Xuewu. By the way, what exactly happened to you, and how did you get back?"
One person asked in confusion.
Shui Bing'er blushed upon hearing this, exchanged a glance with Xue Wu, and coughed lightly, saying:
"This is a long story..."
Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by a voice coming from inside the tent.
"Bing'er has finally returned, so don't keep asking her questions. Let her rest first. Bing'er, you and Xuewu come in first, I have something to ask you."
Inside the tent, the vice-dean's hands trembled as he suppressed the anger in his voice and spoke slowly.
The moment Shui Bing'er returned to the camp, she noticed something was amiss. Xue Wu and Shui Bing'er were walking differently! Although Xue Wu claimed to have been injured in battle, she was an experienced woman; how could she not know what the two women had gone through?
That man actually ruined the innocence of two people; Tianshui Academy has never suffered such a humiliation!
They must find out the man's identity and then gather their forces to kill him in order to wash away the shame of Tianshui Academy!
After the vice-dean finished speaking, no one pressed Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu for details. Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu exchanged a glance, then Shui Bing'er took Xue Wu's hand and walked into the vice-dean's tent.
The curtain fell, and the vice dean immediately waved his hand, setting up a soul power barrier to isolate the sounds inside the room from the outside world.
She looked at Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu with pity, gently taking their hands. She could imagine the immense suffering the two women had endured at the hands of that man; their current composure was likely just a facade. She gently comforted them:
"Shui Bing'er, Xue Wu, don't be afraid. The academy will stand up for you. Tell me what that person looks like and who he is. When the academy's experts arrive, that man won't leave alive!"
Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu were both startled, not expecting that the vice-dean had seen through their deception. They exchanged glances and discussed their thoughts. Shui Bing'er carefully chose her words, and after a moment, she said:
"Vice Dean, we don't want to pursue that person's responsibility; let's just let this matter pass..."
"no!"
The vice president refused decisively.
"You are the pride of the academy. Your humiliation is the humiliation of the academy. Rest assured, the academy will make that person pay the price!"
Suddenly, she stopped, observing the two women's reactions. A ridiculous thought surfaced in her mind. She abruptly took two steps back, pointed at the two women, and said in shock and anger:
"You...you guys wouldn't have fallen in love with that person, would you?!"
After she finished speaking, the tent fell into a deathly silence. Xue Wu raised her head, met the vice dean's sharp gaze, bravely nodded, and solemnly said:
"Yes, we fell in love with him."
The vice-dean's breath hitched, his mind working mechanically as he looked at Shui Bing'er, his voice trembling as he said:
"Shui Bing'er, what about you?"
Shui Bing'er nodded without hesitation.
The vice-dean seemed to have been hit on the head by a giant hammer; her mind went blank, and she collapsed to the ground, struggling to breathe. Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu rushed forward to help her, but she slapped their outstretched hands away.
She was filled with hatred, hating these two girls for not knowing how to cherish themselves. Did a scoundrel who forcibly took a woman deserve their love? She wanted to try and persuade them one more time, but the thought of the two girls' behavior just now only fueled her anger. She questioned them sharply:
"I'm asking you one last time, will you tell me who that person is?"
Shui Bing'er shook her head without any hesitation and said:
"Vice Dean, you don't need to ask anymore. We won't tell you. He said that sooner or later, he will come to Tianshui College in person to take us away."
The vice-dean's brain, which had just recovered, was struck again as if by a heavy blow. This was clearly sweet talk! How could Shui Bing'er, who was always so intelligent, have believed that man's lies?! Could it be that women in love really have no intelligence at all?
"That's enough, that's enough. This whole thing was my fault. I failed to protect you. I bear a great deal of responsibility for what happened to you."
"I don't want to interfere with your decisions, but it's easy for me to get past this hurdle, but it won't be as easy for your parents! Once we get back to the academy, Shui Bing'er, you'll have to explain to the dean yourself!"
The dean of Tianshui Academy is the biological mother of Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er.
Upon hearing the word "Dean," Shui Bing'er felt a headache coming on, but since she had already decided to keep Dai Yao's secret, she would never tell anyone. Not even her own parents.
After the negotiations concluded, Tianshui Academy immediately packed up their camp and prepared to leave.
Before long, a group of people dressed in light blue disappeared into the Star Dou Great Forest. (End of Chapter)
