First Visit to Seagod IslandTianshui College.
At the request of King Lan Hao, Tianshui Academy has now been moved to Tiandou City, joining Blazing Fire Academy, Thunder Academy, and Divine Wind Academy to form the Four Elemental Academyes. However, each elemental academy remains distinct within the Four Elemental Academyes.
Every student at Tianshui Academy is female and extremely beautiful, making them very popular with male students from other academies.
Some girls found good marriages, but others were plagued by troubles. Therefore, Tianshui Academy was separated from the other three elemental academies by a distance.
Today, an uninvited guest visited Tianshui College.
"Bing'er, someone is looking for you."
Qiu Ruoshui knocked on the door, but out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at the woman behind her with some confusion.
The woman was very beautiful, in no way inferior to Shui Bing'er. Her short silver hair fell to her shoulders, and she wore a long silver dress. Her facial features were not sharp, giving her a gentle appearance. However, she was not talkative; after greeting her, she fell silent.
On the contrary, the man behind the woman, who acted like a bodyguard, spoke more.
This woman is quite renowned in Tiandou City; she is none other than Ye Lingling, the owner of the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul.
Back then, Ye Lengleng, who was on the Tiandou Royal Academy team, had played several exchange matches with their Tianshui Academy team. Therefore, they had a deep impression of Ye Lengleng's Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul. Such a powerful Martial Soul could only be passed down to one generation; it was truly a pity.
"Ruoshui, is something the matter?"
Inside the room, Shui Bing'er tidied her hair a little, then walked to the door and pushed it open. When she noticed the woman beside Qiu Ruoshui, she paused slightly and said:
"You are... Ye Lengleng?"
Ye nodded coldly.
Qiu Ruoshui smiled and said, "Bing'er, it's not me who needs to talk to you, but this person. You two chat, I'll be going now."
After Qiu Ruoshui left, Shui Bing'er looked at Ye Lengleng with suspicion and asked in confusion:
"Miss Ye Lingling, it's been a long time. I've rarely heard from you since you graduated from the Tiandu Royal Academy. May I ask what brings you here today?"
To her surprise, Ye Lingling waved her hand lightly, dismissing the bodyguard-like man, before giving Shui Bing'er a strange look that made Shui Bing'er feel slightly uneasy.
"Miss Ye Lingling, why are you looking at me like that?"
Ye Lingling raised her head, meeting Shui Bing'er's gaze, her strange expression deepening. With a gentle turn of her small hand, a letter appeared in her palm with a faint fluctuation of soul power. She said softly:
"Actually, someone asked me to deliver this letter to you and Xuewu. He wants to apologize to both of you because he has left the mainland to cultivate in an extremely cruel place, and therefore he cannot fulfill his promise."
He said that he would fulfill his promise as soon as he returned to the mainland.
After attending Dai Yao's wedding, Dugu Yan invited her to leave the Heavenly Dou Empire and go to the Azure Lotus Sect in Hanhai City. Before leaving Hanhai City, Dai Yao stopped her, wanting to ask her for a favor.
She was instructed to deliver the letter to Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu of Tianshui Academy.
Ye Lengleng was very curious about how Dai Yao had become connected with Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu. What was the relationship between the three of them? She couldn't help but sigh that Dai Yao's luck with women was too good. He married four beautiful women at once, and on the other hand, he was also having an affair with Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu.
Upon hearing this, Shui Bing'er's hands trembled, and she stared blankly at the letter, her breathing becoming rapid.
Back then, when Shui Bing'er returned to Tianshui Academy, her parents found out that she had lost her innocence. They were furious and demanded to know who the man was! Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu withstood the pressure and said nothing. In the end, their parents had no choice but to reluctantly let them go.
But when news of Dai Yao's wedding reached Tian Dou City, it was like a bolt from the blue for Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu! They had given their innocence to Dai Yao, and their endless intimacy in the Star Dou Great Forest could not earn them a title in the end.
This resentment and anguish tore at their hearts every moment.
Xue Wu stayed in her room for a long time, never venturing out.
Shui Bing'er, who prided herself on not being attached to romantic relationships and being strong and independent, experienced the pain of unrequited love for the first time during this period. Although she understood Dai Yao's choice—after all, their relationship with Dai Yao was only due to a mistake—she couldn't help but feel some resentment towards him.
Has Dai Yao forgotten her?
Now, hearing the message specially sent by Dai Yao, her heart, which had been tormented for so long, finally relaxed. She even felt a joy of surviving a disaster. Looking back, she realized how afraid she had been of Dai Yao abandoning her.
She took the letter with trembling hands and said:
"Thanks."
Seeing Shui Bing'er's behavior, Ye Lengleng confirmed the relationship between Shui Bing'er and Dai Yao. If she wasn't mistaken, Xue Wu and Dai Yao had the same relationship. This made her gasp, as if she had discovered some secret.
Two geniuses from Tianshui Academy have both fallen in love with Dai Yao?!
These aren't Dai Yao's four wives. Dai Yao's four wives all had deep feelings for him, which is why they could accept each other. But Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu not only accepted each other, but also waited for Dai Yao without any official status. Is Dai Yao really that charming?
If Dai Yao hadn't already left the Azure Lotus Sect, she wouldn't have dared to go; otherwise, she might have ended up like Shui Bing'er and the others...
She looked deeply at Shui Bing'er and said:
"Miss Shui Bing'er, my business is finished. I will leave Tian Dou City tomorrow for the Qing Lian Sect. If possible, please come with me. The situation on the continent is becoming increasingly tense, and war is imminent. If you don't go, please make preparations in advance. Otherwise, there will be a man who will have to worry again."
Shui Bing'er gripped the letter tightly in her hand and forced a smile:
"I will stay at the academy. I have too many family members here, and I cannot leave. Please tell him, Miss Lingling, that I will protect myself and Xuewu, and that he can rest assured."
Ye Lingling nodded, then turned and left. The bodyguard-like man immediately followed her.
In fact, this man was a member of the Qinglian Sect, escorting Ye Lingling away.
A significant reason why Dai Yao chose Ye Lingling to deliver the message was that she was his only option. Because of him, Auckland Academy was under Tang San's close scrutiny, so he dared not involve Auckland Academy.
Most of the forces of the Azure Lotus Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had moved away from Heaven Dou City, and the Soul Masters who remained in Heaven Dou City all had very important missions. Dai Yao would never do something so despicable as to expose them for his own selfish desires.
After Ye Lingling left, Shui Bing'er did not return to her own room, but instead turned around and headed towards Xue Wu's room.
Not long after, in Xue Wu's room, Shui Bing'er looked at Xue Wu, who was holding the letter and looking excited, as if all the heartbreak she had experienced over the past few days had been a lie. Shui Bing'er sighed inwardly, thinking that Xue Wu was really love-struck, but it was good that Xue Wu was no longer so absent-minded; she had finally come back to life.
Looking at the letter clutched tightly in Xue Wu's hand, she felt a pang of envy, for she hadn't even read it yet...
······
maritime.
Several days later, a dark dot could be vaguely seen in the distance. Purple Pearl, standing at the bow of the ship, immediately ordered the ship to stop upon seeing it and turned to Dai Yao, saying:
"Master, we have arrived at Poseidon Island. But we cannot go any further. If we go any further, we will be attacked by the island's guardian beast, the legendary 100,000-year-old demon soul great white shark."
Dai Yao looked at Poseidon Island in the distance and nodded.
During the few days of sailing at sea, Purple Pearl told everyone a lot about the precautions for ocean navigation, the territories of various ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, and the three hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts. Although Dai Yao knew quite a bit, after Purple Pearl's introduction, he realized that his understanding of ocean soul beasts was still too limited.
However, once he memorized the sea chart, he was able to travel to Poseidon Island on his own.
"Alright, that's enough for you. Give me a lifeboat, I'll go myself."
Dai Yao gave the instructions.
Purple Pearl breathed a sigh of relief. She was terrified that Dai Yao would force them to sail to Seagod Island, and if they were attacked by the Demon Soul Great White Shark swarm, they would surely die. She quickly ordered a lifeboat to be lowered, then smiled obsequiously:
"Master, everything is ready."
Dai Yao nodded in satisfaction, then turned to look at the four beautiful women leaning against the railing, admiring the sea view, and shook his head helplessly. The seascape was all the same; he'd seen it for so many days, and he still wasn't tired of it. He smiled at Feng Wutong beside him:
"Wutong, go and call Zhuqing and the others. We're going to Poseidon Island in the small boat."
Feng Wutong glanced at Zi Zhenzhu with her sharp phoenix eyes, nodded, and then turned to greet Zhu Zhuqing and the other three.
Before long, the four women arrived at Dai Yao's side. Ning Rongrong said with some concern:
"Brother Yao, Sister Purple Pearl said that there are powerful soul beasts protecting the area outside Seagod Island. How do we get there?"
Dai Yao glanced at the pirates around him. It wasn't appropriate to reveal the matter of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover in public, so he smiled and said:
"I have a brilliant plan. Let's go down first."
"Thank you so much, Sister Purple Pearl, for all these days!"
Ning Rongrong smiled and thanked them, and Zhu Zhuqing and Dugu Yan also smiled and nodded in acknowledgment. Then, Zhu Zhuqing and Dugu Yan flew down and landed steadily on the narrow boat, with Bai Chenxiang following closely behind. Feng Wutong picked up Ning Rongrong, spread her fiery red wings, and landed on the boat.
Looking down at the four women in the small boat at the bottom of the ship, Dai Yao turned back to look at Zi Zhenzhu, who seemed eager to escape, and chuckled:
"Take care of yourself."
Purple Pearl's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly said, "I wish you a safe journey, Master. No one has figured out the habits of the Demon Soul Great White Shark yet. However, what is certain is that the Demon Soul Great White Shark is much less active at night. If you want to go to Seagod Island, it is best to do so at night."
Dai Yao gave Zi Zhenzhu a strange look. He hadn't expected that Zi Zhenzhu would give him such sincere advice in the end. He waved goodbye to Zi Zhenzhu and then flew down.
After Dai Yao's figure disappeared from the deck, the tense expressions on the faces of the many pirates suddenly began to falter. These past few days, with Dai Yao on the Purple Pearl, they had been so afraid they dared not even breathe. The Purple Pearl's face darkened, and she lowered her voice, sharply shouting:
"What are you laughing at! What are you all standing there for? That bastard's finally gone, hurry up and set sail!"
Everyone snapped out of their daze and quickly returned to their posts. The massive Purple Pearl sped away in a flash.
On the small boat, watching the Purple Pearl speed away, Ning Rongrong covered her mouth and chuckled softly:
"They seem really afraid of Brother Yao~ I wonder what Brother Yao did to make them so scared?"
Dugu Yan gave a soft snort, gave Dai Yao a deep look, and said:
"This man has been doing a lot behind our backs. He might even have a few sisters we don't know about. Alright, how are we going to get there? Do we really have to wait until tonight?"
Dai Yao immediately broke out in a cold sweat. He had only told Dugu Yan about Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu so far, but all four women seemed to have a premonition, though they hadn't revealed it. Dai Yao quickly summoned the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, which slowly expanded to envelop everyone in the astonished gazes of the crowd.
"Actually, this is what I rely on to get to Poseidon Island."
After the Vast Ocean Universe was submerged, isolating the seawater, everyone looked around in amazement. Ning Rongrong carefully sensed the surroundings for a while, then excitedly exclaimed:
"This treasure is truly extraordinary. In my experience, it's the most precious treasure I've encountered in all these years. Brother Yao, where did you get it?"
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul possesses treasure-hunting abilities, therefore it is extremely sensitive to the rarity and value of treasures. Suddenly, Ning Rongrong seemed to remember something and said in disbelief:
"Brother Yao, could this be the Heavenly Dou Empire's national treasure, the Vast Ocean Universe Cover? How did you get it?"
Dai Yao stiffened for a moment, then nodded.
Dugu Yan crossed her arms and gave a soft hum:
"I think it might have been that woman who gave it to him again..."
Having information about the Azure Lotus Sect, Dugu Yan naturally knew who the Asura Emperor had been with during his escape. Having spent several months alone with Dai Yao, it was likely that the woman with the Angelic Martial Soul had also fallen for him; otherwise, she would never have given him such a precious item as the Vast Ocean Universe Cover.
Dai Yao wiped away non-existent cold sweat, remained silent for a moment, and then replied:
"Yes, Rongrong. She was given to me by Xue Qinghe back then, but I haven't been in contact with her much since I returned to the Spirit Hall."
Dugu Yan was somewhat surprised by Dai Yao's frankness, but she didn't say anything more.
She's a smart woman; she's already content to be with Dai Yao, and she knows what she should and shouldn't do. The reason I emphasize this is to remind Dai Yao that they also have their own joys and sorrows. If Dai Yao brought those disreputable women home without informing them, they would also feel angry and sad.
By saying these things, Dai Yao was essentially tacitly acknowledging their existence.
Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong was slightly taken aback, then smiled faintly. Dai Yao's candid mention of the woman with whom he had a close relationship clearly showed his respect for them. However, it seemed that the woman's relationship with Dai Yao was not simple.
Zhu Zhuqing smiled gently, while Feng Wutong pursed her red lips and her eyes sparkled.
Bai Chenxiang, standing to the side, was completely bewildered and unaware of what had happened. It was as if a special magnetic field existed between the five people, shielding her from it.
Then, Dai Yao began to move. Under the cover of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, the group continued to advance towards Seagod Island, curiously gazing at the underwater scene: various shipwrecks, unusual fish, and the powerful and terrifying Demon Soul Great White Shark…
As the terrain gradually rose, and the seawater disappeared above their heads, the group finally reached Poseidon Island.
Once ashore, everyone stretched and relaxed, as if enveloped in a warm embrace. After spending so long at sea, stepping back onto land felt like a long-awaited reunion.
Looking out, the island is lush and green, just like the mainland, with flowers blooming everywhere, and the temperature is quite comfortable. Looking back, the sea breeze blows in my face, gentle and cool, although there is a faint smell of the sea.
Waves gently lapped in, reaching above everyone's ankles, leaving white foam that dissipated on the beach before slowly receding.
"So beautiful."
Looking at the beautiful scenery where the sea and sky meet, Ning Rongrong exclaimed in admiration.
Dugu Yan glanced at him with some surprise, her sharp gaze sweeping over the surroundings before she said in a deep voice:
"It is indeed beautiful, but we have more important things to do now. How to join Poseidon Island is a problem."
Dai Yao smiled slightly and said:
"No need, they're already here."
Just then, several figures leaped out of the woods, their eyes warily fixed on Dai Yao and his companions. Their clothing was quite strange; most of them wore yellow, except for the leader, who was dressed in purple.
"What are you?"
The leader spoke in a cold voice. (End of Chapter)
