Chapter 68: line with translation of chapter title

Next morning, Yu Tianyun brought Ning Rongrong and two little kittens to Shilake Xueyuan.

It is worth mentioning that when the three women first met, the atmosphere was unusually calm, with no sign of tension.

Regarding the two little kittens, Yu Tianyun knew them well; the Zhu family had always been the Star Luo royal family's designated empress clan, so their tolerance for a man having three wives and four concubines was much greater, and the two women also knew how terrifying Yu Tianyun was in that regard—something the two sisters could not handle!

As for Ning Rongrong's behavior, Yu Tianyun was truly at a loss—she was overly calm and even got along swimmingly with the two little kittens! This shouldn't be! Shouldn't she be causing a scene?

"Forget it, this is fine; saves me a headache!" Yu Tianyun, unable to figure it out, simply stopped worrying himself.

Shilake Xueyuan! As the warm sunshine spread across the whole plaza, figures arrived one after another.

However, many students had gathered, yet Oscar was the only one missing.

At that moment, Fland arrived unhurriedly.

His gaze fell on Tang San as he asked, "Where's Oscar? Is he sleeping in again?"

Tang San hurriedly replied, "When I came out this morning he was still cultivating; perhaps he entered deep meditation and didn't wake up in time."

Fland furrowed his brows and said, "This class can't go on without him. Tang San, go call him."

Just as Tang San was about to turn back to the dorm, he saw Oscar rushing over from the dormitory direction; his face showed no panic from being late, but rather excitement.

Fland glared at him and shouted, "Oscar, are you trying to go run laps again?"

Oscar quickly shook his head and explained eagerly, "No, headmaster, hear me out—no, hear me explain! After last night's hard training, I've broken through; I'm now at rank thirty, and absorbing just one Soul Ring will make me a three-ring Soul Elder."

This was indeed good news; it instantly drew everyone's attention, and they all congratulated him.

Fland was also pleased, looking at him and saying loudly, "Excellent, Oscar—you will be the second among our current students to break through to Soul Elder, and you achieved it at fourteen as a food-system Soul Master; across the whole continent, few can surpass you."

"Indeed, very outstanding; training as a food-system Soul Master is notoriously slow, so breaking through to Soul Elder at fourteen is absolutely a rare genius."

Suddenly, a clear voice came from afar—the speaker was Yu Tianyun, embracing three beauties.

In an instant, the gazes of the Shilake Xueyuan crowd turned toward them, though each person's look differed.

Tang San's eyes were full of vigilance; in his view, Yu Tianyun was the most formidable person among his peers he had ever seen. Yet at the same time he sensed a faint friendly aura from Yu Tianyun, his brows slightly furrowed, somewhat puzzled.

Xiao Wu's eyes held only fear; she wasn't afraid of Yu Tianyun himself, but of the powerful forces behind him.

After Fland's revelation yesterday, Yu Tianyun's backing possesses strength not inferior to that of a Title Douluo from the Qi Bao Liu Li Sect; if her true identity were discovered, the consequences would be unthinkable.

After all, she is a human formed from a 100,000-year Soul Beast; her Soul Rings and soul bones have a deadly allure for humans, and she is still in her infancy! Ma Hongjun's legs trembled uncontrollably, and he even felt a faint ache in a certain part, which involuntarily shrank into his belly fat and hid. Upon waking, he had wanted Fland to stand up for him, but Fland said he was powerless—the other side's background was simply too deep.

Oscar's heart was shattered; yesterday people told him Ning Rongrong was already taken, which he hardly believed. But now, seeing Ning Rongrong smiling in Yu Tianyun's embrace, his once-fluttering heart sank straight to the bottom.

Whether in appearance, ability, or background, he could not compare to Yu Tianyun; even Ma Hongjun's miserable state was still fresh in his mind, and now he dared not harbor any improper thoughts.

The most conflicted expression belonged to Dai Mubai; at first seeing Yu Tianyun embracing three great beauties, he thought they were like-minded and even considered making friends.

But when he saw clearly the other two women in Yu Tianyun's arms, he first felt fear, then shock, then secret joy, and finally a heart full of resentment and unwillingness.

The reason for such a complex change in expression is that upon seeing Zhu Zhu Yun, he instinctively thought his elder brother had come to kill him.

But he never expected Zhu Zhu Yun to actually be in Yu Tianyun's embrace, leaving him feeling incredulous.

Afterward, he secretly gloated because his elder brother had been cuckolded.

But when he saw Zhu Zhuqing, whose face resembled Zhu Zhu Yun's, although he didn't know the now-grown Zhu Zhuqing, he recognized Zhu Zhu Yun! Being together with Zhu Zhu Yun and looking so alike, he quickly guessed that the girl was likely his fiancée—Zhu Zhuqing!

It turned out that not only his elder brother, but also Dai Mubai himself, had been cuckolded!

As a man, how could he bear this! Yet when he met Yu Tianyun's cold gaze, he instinctively turned his head away—unfortunately, his line of sight landed right on Ma Hongjun's crotch.

Instantly, the fear in his heart surged, and even the thought of questioning it died before it could be born.

This is no surprise, for Dai Mubai himself is a coward.

At this moment, only Fland's expression could be considered normal.

At this time, Ning Rongrong left Yu Tianyun's embrace and said sweetly, "Headmaster, I'm late; I hope I haven't missed today's training."

Fland saw Ning Rongrong regain her gentle and dignified demeanor, feeling somewhat puzzled; he had thought she wouldn't come back, but since she had paid tuition and passed the entrance exam, he could not possibly refund her fees, so he dryly said, "It's not too late, but I hope you will observe the academy's rules from now on, Rongrong."

Yu Tianyun had also subtly advised Ning Rongrong the previous night to rein in her young-lady temperament; since her body and spirit had already been subdued by Yu Tianyun, she naturally obeyed him.

Moreover, yesterday she realized her own problems, so she also wished to change—not for anything else, but to make her beloved like her more.

"Headmaster, you're right; yesterday was my fault, and this won't happen again!" Ning Rongrong replied obediently.

Fland, though still puzzled as to why Ning Rongrong was so obedient and well-behaved today, felt greatly relieved and said, "That's good! Rongrong, recognizing your mistake is tremendous progress."

Immediately, Fland added, "All right, today's schedule has changed because Oscar has broken through to rank thirty in soul power; we will go to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt the Soul Beast needed for his third Soul Ring, so today's lesson is wilderness survival training."
