Chapter 286

Three days later.

Ye Feng left the Imperial Palace.

The academy matters were left to Qian Renxue; they should be settled within a week.

Of course, it was just a matter of getting a name.

Just like the "Business License" needed to open a shop in my previous life, and all sorts of other proofs, proving that this is a genuine Advanced Soul Master Academy with teaching qualifications.

But these are all just going through the motions.

After all, the current "Star Luo Academy" is actually just a broken courtyard, with only the four characters "Star Luo Academy" hanging on the plaque.

Teachers, facilities, grounds — all falsely reported, purely to occupy a position, which is to say, fraud.

This kind of fraud is not uncommon in the Tian Dou Empire, but most are those Primary Soul Master Academies in remote areas, used to cheat the Empire's subsidies.

Daring to fake an Advanced Soul Master Academy — only Ye Feng would do that.

Qian Renxue acting as sole guarantor still carried some risk, so Ye Feng also invited Dugu Bo to join; only then was it truly secure.

Even if discovered, no one would dare say anything.

Mainly because building an Advanced Soul Master Academy costs too much money, and wastes even more time.

The Xingchen Sect has money, but it's impossible to build an Advanced Soul Master Academy in a short time.

Ye Feng also didn't have that intention.

The reason for developing the Xingchen Sect was only to give himself a place to settle down; as for expanding the sect, glorifying the sect — Ye Feng never considered it at all.

After all, his system is just a Tag System, not some Academy System……

He only needs stable development, timed lucky draws, to achieve rapid growth.

……

……

Academy matters handled.

Ye Feng returned to the Xingchen Sect, spread his Spiritual Power to investigate.

Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Yin — all three were not home; they must have gone out to play.

But Zi Ji wasn't home either, no idea where she went; only Bi Ji alone guarded the empty boudoir.

"Good thing Zi Ji isn't here, or I'd be dragged off to be squeezed for two days……" Ye Feng inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, after Gu Yue Na's "training" he has now somewhat adapted; even if truly caught by Zi Ji to be squeezed it wouldn't matter.

But Ye Feng still likes Bi Ji's gentleness, a very standard virtuous wife and good mother type.

Just as he approached his own courtyard, Ye Feng smelled a different fragrance.

Ye Feng pushed open the door and entered, seeing green smoke curling in the courtyard.

In the center of the courtyard, who knows when a stove appeared, with a steamer rack on it; on the table beside it were already some baked pastries, topped with cream, fruit, and nut crumbs.

The fragrance emanated from these pastries.

Beside a stove, Bi Ji in a green gauze skirt rested one hand on the furnace, gently channeling soul power into it; the blazing furnace fire could not harm her in the slightest.

On the contrary, the originally scarlet flames, under Bi Ji's influence, turned an eerie greenish glow.

But Ye Feng was long used to this; Bi Ji fell in love with cooking early on, and whenever idle she made all kinds of delicacies for them to eat.

"Bi Ji Barrier, what new things have you learned recently? Looks pretty good~"

Ye Feng walked in, casually cut a piece of pastry and tasted it.

The pastry melted in the mouth, more delicate than cakes from my previous life, richly fragrant, extremely delicious.

"How is it? Is it delicious?"

Bi Ji saw Ye Feng enter, stopped her movements, then looked at Ye Feng with some anticipation: "This is the latest baking method I recently developed, using soul power to control the baking heat, allowing the heat to be controlled to the ultimate grade; the cakes produced not only retain rich fragrance, but are also exceptionally fluffy~"

"Mm, delicious. Bi Ji Barrier's skill — if you opened a cake shop, you'd definitely make a fortune~"

Ye Feng praised without stinginess.

"Hehehe~ Rongrong said the same; if there's time, we could try~"

Bi Ji covered her mouth and giggled, clearly very pleased by Ye Feng's praise.

Ye Feng cut a piece of pastry, brought it to Bi Ji's mouth, then seemed to think of something and asked: "Right, Bi Ji Barrier, are you free recently? I have something I want to ask your help with~"

"Mm…… what is it? Let's be clear first — no making me do weird things; other than that, if I can help I definitely will……"

Bi Ji seemed to think of something, her face reddening slightly.

Ye Feng has a record.

Last time he also asked her to help, to test a "Tail Prop"……

Don't know where Ye Feng got it from; it could even vibrate — really too much……

"Cough cough, this time it's really proper business, need Bi Ji Barrier's help." Ye Feng dry-coughed, serious: "I want to ask Bi Ji Barrier to go with me to the Jibei."

"Jibei? What are you going to that kind of place for?" Bi Ji heard this, frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled.

After all, the Jibei is a famous forbidden land, and the climate is bitterly cold; although she isn't too afraid, anyone not an Ice System or Water System Soul Beast innately dislikes the cold.

Who would be bored enough to go to that kind of frigid land to freeze — isn't that purely sick in the head?

Ye Feng didn't answer, but countered: "Bi Ji Barrier should know, the Jibei has Three Heavenly Kings, right……"

"Of course I know, the Three Heavenly Kings……"

Bi Ji seemed to think of something, said in surprise: "Young Master, you wouldn't be thinking of targeting the Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor, would you!!"

Bi Ji has been with Ye Feng this long, and knows his nature.

Just now she was still puzzled why Ye Feng would go to that kind of place; now reacting, she instantly understood……

This guy Ye Feng actually has the audacity to target the Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor!

"Hehe, Bi Ji Barrier still understands me~" Ye Feng hehe laughed, directly admitting it.

However, Bi Ji lightly shook her head and said: "Young Master, you had better give up this idea. After all, you are human; we are willing to follow you because we watched you grow up, plus the reason of your bloodline, which is why we feel intimacy toward you."

"But the Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor, they are true Soul Beasts, and moreover Great Beasts ranked in the Top Ten of the Combat Power Ranking. If you merely rely on bloodline wanting them to follow you, that is not too realistic."

"No no no……"

Ye Feng, hearing this, lightly shook his head and said: "If it were directly making the Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor follow me, I of course know this is impossible, but if they transform into human form, then I feel they have only this one choice: following me."

Ye Feng continued to explain: "I obtained reliable news; the Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor most likely cannot pass the next Tribulation. If we can persuade them to Advance Transformation, then there is a chance to recruit them into the Xingchen Sect!"

"Persuade them to transform? Young Master, have you forgotten? Soul Beasts Exceed 100,000 Years — transformation success is almost Impossible."

Bi Ji frowned again and said: "Unless bloodline is Powerful to the degree of the Beast God or the Master, otherwise it is absolutely impossible to Suppress the Shen Yuan Zhi Li and transform after Exceeding 100,000 Years."

"The Ice Emperor's Shen Yuan Zhi Li Approaches 400,000 Years; the Snow Emperor's Shen Yuan Zhi Li even more Approaches 700,000 Years. With the two's abilities, it is fundamentally impossible to Suppress the Shen Yuan Zhi Li. The result of Force Transformation is only death."
