Meng Yiran's eyes widened. A campus environment with falling cherry blossoms like this would probably be disliked by few girls.
"The campus environment is not bad, but the Academy is too small, less than a tenth of the Alien Beast Academy's area."
Dragon Duke said lightly. Alien Beast Academy was a high-level Spirit Master Academy where Meng Yiran had previously studied. It had performed excellently in the All-Continent Elite Spirit Master Tournament, making it one of the key Spirit Master Academies cultivated by the local kingdom.
He and Snake Woman were also honorary teachers at Alien Beast Academy.
"Hmph, it's small now, but it will definitely get bigger in the future. Just you wait," Ning Rongrong snorted.
"Girl, I know your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is rich, but show some respect to this old man. Even if your Sect elders came, they would have to call me Senior Dragon Duke."
"No way, you're bragging."
"Heh..."
"Teacher, you're back?"
"Mhm, we were delayed for two more days. You've been guarding the Academy alone, nothing happened, right?"
Bell heard the commotion and came out to help tie the horses. Xin spoke to him.
Bell rubbed his head and led the two swift horses to the stables in the Academy:
"Nothing major happened. I've already handled everything."
"That's good. But if you encounter any trouble you can't solve, just tell me."
"Mhm!"
As soon as he saw Xin, Bell was full of energy, feeling his whole body filled with power.
"But, teacher, why did you bring back two Spirit Beasts?"
"These two Spirit Beasts, one is for your third spirit ring, and the other is for your new junior sister."
"Let me introduce you. This is Meng Yiran, my new student. These two are Meng Yiran's grandparents. You can call them Elder Long and Elder She. This is my student, Bell."
Xin said. "Alright, Bell, lead these two Spirit Beasts to the side yard and keep them in separate enclosures. Use iron cages, and at least three large iron chains to tie their limbs. They'll probably be completely out of my illusion in a few minutes, so be quick and don't hurt yourself."
"Mhm, okay, teacher!"
Bell nodded sharply.
Despicable Flender, did you see that?
Who said my teacher doesn't care about me? Who said my teacher (Self) wouldn't help me hunt for my third spirit ring?
My teacher directly brought my third spirit ring home for me!!!
I, Bell, was originally unremarkable, and it's all thanks to my teacher's (Self) guidance. What more could I be dissatisfied with?
Even if my teacher didn't help me hunt for my third spirit ring, with my teacher's looks and charisma, I would willingly follow him!
I want to say, even being a dog, what's wrong with being Teacher Xin's (Self) dog?!
Woof!
Woof woof woof!

...
The next morning, after Xin and the others returned, Zhao Wuji also returned with the Shrek students.
However, their return was different from their departure.
They had left running like idiots under a scorching sun.
But they returned running like idiots in a continuous drizzle.
Rain can extinguish fire, but it cannot extinguish the enthusiasm in Xiao Wu's heart.
Even after leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, Xiao Wu couldn't stop thinking about it and couldn't help but ask:
"Teacher Zhao, Third Brother, did you really not see a very handsome boy, six or seven feet tall, in the Star Dou Great Forest? He was my savior, otherwise I would have been killed by that giant ape. He's my savior, I must find him."
"Xiao Wu, you've asked us no less than ten times on the way. We really haven't seen such a man."
"Exactly, Xiao Wu, you keep saying this man is handsome, how handsome is he exactly? How does he compare to Boss Dai?"
"Dai Mubai? Compared to my savior, he's not even one ten-thousandth as good, okay?"
Xiao Wu pouted, speechless.
That night, she had actually turned back and asked Er Ming to help her search, but after searching all night, she found no trace of that person. He had likely already left the Star Dou Great Forest, so she could only return to the Shrek team.
"I won't give up! I will definitely find you!"
Xiao Wu touched her belly. She used the white towel as a bellyband, so she could constantly remember that handsome youth, as if he was touching her.
Ma Hongjun and Oscar exchanged glances, then looked at Tang San pitifully: Xiao Wu... she wouldn't have fallen for someone else, would she?
One night, just one night she disappeared, and she...
True, sometimes, that one night was too satisfying, too stunning, and indeed makes one linger and unable to stop.
Tang San's mood was somewhat complicated.
Xiao Wu suddenly started fawning over another boy, and he felt quite disheartened.
