Chapter 80: The Captain's Wife

"The Forest King? The Taitan Giant Ape?!"

Almost everyone was startled by this term.

"What exactly happened? Explain yourselves clearly," Yan Zhining pressed.

As Shui Bing'er recounted the events, the expressions of the seven grew increasingly astonished, and in the end, they all turned strange gazes toward Qin Jian.

"To actually dare to pluck a flower from under the hands of a Taitan Giant Ape..." Yan Zhining's gaze was dazed.

Shui Yue'er's eyes sparkled with infatuation: "Captain, you are so good to Big Sister..."

Yu Hairou said with great admiration: "As expected of our Captain, to remain so calm in such a situation, and to have such great courage."

Xue Wu sighed and said: "No wonder Bing'er was so happy to sleep with you back then..."

"I want to sleep with the Captain too..." This was the big-mouthed Qiu Ruoshui.

"How touching..." said Gu Qingbo.

Shen Liuyu touched her own light green hair: "So envious of Bing'er..."

Qin Jian felt as if sweat was about to drip down.

Not only did he feel no sense of triumph, but he felt uncomfortable all over, as if sitting on pins and needles.

This story, which sounded so deep, so brave, and so beautiful... was simply a performance!

"Instructor Zhineng, our mission for this trip is complete, can we return now?" He hurriedly changed the subject.

Yan Zhining nodded and said: "This team training had its thrills but no danger, the harvest was great, and Bing'er also received training."

"From now on, Bing'er will serve as the team's Vice Captain, what do you all think?" she asked.

The other six nodded repeatedly, having no objections at all.

"Instructor Zhineng, the title of Vice Captain doesn't suit our Bing'er."

At this moment, Qiu Ruoshui suddenly said with a chuckle: "I think 'Captain's Wife' is more suitable!"

"Ruoshui!"

Shui Bing'er called out in shy annoyance.

"Hahaha! Ruoshui makes sense!"

The beautiful girls instantly rioted, all surrounding them: "Hello, Captain's Wife!"

"Please take care of us in the future, Captain and Captain's Wife!"

"Captain's Wife, when will you pass on some experience? How did you hook such a good Captain?"

"..."

Amidst the chattering of the beautiful girls, Qin Jian and Shui Bing'er walked out of the Star Dou Great Forest together with Yan Zhining.

The group of nine found an inn to wash up and rest properly, only continuing their journey back to Tianshui City the next day.

After all, they were all beautiful girls, and surely none of them wanted to return looking disheveled, not even Yan Zhining.

Stepping into Tianshui City once again, even though not much time had passed, everyone felt as if a lifetime had gone by.

"It's still places with people that make one feel relaxed; the Star Dou Great Forest was just too oppressive and too tense..." Qiu Ruoshui said, taking a deep breath of fresh air.

Qin Jian then said: "The Star Dou Great Forest is the home of Soul Beasts; they feel the same living there as you do here."

Shui Bing'er looked at him strangely, always feeling that his words contained some other meaning.

"Let's go, let's go! Let's hurry back to the academy! I miss my big bed!"

Qiu Ruoshui clearly couldn't detect anything from Qin Jian's words, and she impatiently dragged everyone forward.

"You all are tired from this time, so take a rest for the next month..."

Yan Zhining turned to Qin Jian and said: "Team training can also be more relaxed for now, let them properly digest the gains from this field exercise."

Qin Jian nodded, then his eyes rolled, and he said: "Then... how about we learn another team dance?"

As if a heavy bomb had been dropped, before Yan Zhining could speak, several of them crowded around.

"Captain, Captain, what dance are we learning this time? Is it as good-looking as that Tiamo one from last time?" Shui Yue'er said excitedly.

Gu Qingbo brushed her long hair and said: "Captain, can you teach us something more alluring this time? I'm still better at dancing that kind."

"You guys, you should ask what the Captain wants to see us dance," said Yu Hairou.

Xue Wu gave a thumbs up: "Hairou hit the nail on the head; isn't the reason we dance for the Captain to watch?"

"That's not right, shouldn't we ask what the Captain wants to see Bing'er dance? Or rather, what he wants to teach Bing'er to dance; the two of them were teaching hand-in-hand in the bedroom!" said Qiu Ruoshui.

Qin Jian covered the back of his head, Shui Bing'er covered her face...

Yan Zhining covered her forehead: "I always feel that under Qin Jian's leadership, the style of our Tianshui Team is a bit strange..."

Having finally returned to Tianshui Academy, Qin Jian had also decided what team dance to teach them next.

Naturally, he chose the kind of dance track that was highly addictive, the kind that could get the whole audience high.

After all, he had always been thinking about taking the Tianshui Team to the Douhun Tai to make their debut... this was a Dalu supergroup!

But along the way, the atmosphere in the academy was somewhat strange, with many girls looking dejected.

"Instructor Zhineng, the students' spirits don't seem high?" Qin Jian frowned and said.

Yan Zhining nodded and said: "You all go back to the team's exclusive quarters first, I'll go to the higher-ups to see what the situation is."

As it turned out, not long after they returned to their quarters, Yan Zhining burst in again in a flurry.

"Children, trouble has come knocking."

Her voice made everyone come out of their rooms and arrive in the center of the hall.

"Instructor Zhineng, what happened?" Qin Jian asked on everyone's behalf.

"An academy is here to challenge us!"

A flash of anger crossed Yan Zhining's eyes: "They have defeated all of our Tianshui Academy students below Level 35!"

"What? Which academy did this?" everyone exclaimed.

Yan Zhining glanced at Shui Bing'er and Qin Jian, saying, "It's still that lingering issue from the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy; the ones who came are Blazing Academy and Shenfeng Academy."

"Currently, only one person has entered the fight, and that is Huo Wu from Blazing Academy," she added.

"Who is that?" Xue Wu asked.

Qin Jian and Shui Bing'er exchanged a look, a realization dawning on them.

"It must be because of the matter inside the Soul Hunting Ground that offended her; back then, I helped Bing'er beat back Huo Wu, causing her to fail to obtain the Soul Ring she wanted," Qin Jian said.

Yan Zhining nodded and said, "That is indeed the case. I heard Huo Wu even went to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect first, and only came to Tianshui Academy after she couldn't find you; she specifically named Bing'er to challenge her..."

"But Bing'er has been in the Star Dou Great Forest during this time. After she waited a few days with no result, she simply began challenging our academy's students who are Level 30 or above..."

Yan Zhining said, "At the beginning, the academy only sent students with the same 32-level soul power as her, but they were all defeated. Later, they sent students two or three levels higher than her, but they still couldn't win, which is why the morale of the entire academy is so low."

"After all, the other party is slapping us in the face right at our own door," she frowned and said.

"Then what is going on with Shenfeng Academy?" Qin Jian asked.

Yan Zhining shook her head and said, "I don't know what's going on either. They are just like people here to watch the excitement; they haven't made a move even once..."
