Lan Qingyan nestled against Gu Shenggo's chest and slowly woke. She opened her pale blue eyes, still slightly dazed, feeling only utter exhaustion throughout her body.
"Madam Lan is awake."
Seeing the beautiful woman in his arms awaken, Gu Shenggo said with a smile. Lan Qingyan looked up at the man who had tormented her all night. Her gorgeous face was faintly flushed, and she did not quite dare to look at him.
She buried her head in Gu Shenggo's chest, displaying the bashfulness of a young maiden while retaining the maturity of a beautiful married woman, brimming with charm.
Gu Shenggo looked at Lan Qingyan's bashful appearance. She was completely different from how she had submitted beneath him last night. He did not care to investigate which version was real; as long as she could please him, that was enough.
Through Lan Qingyan's memories, he learned that after her husband's death, those who had been at odds with him in life were now devouring the Earl's Manor's assets. Among them was a Soul Saint.
Still in mourning, Lan Qingyan had been forced to leave the Earl's Manor and head to Heaven Dou Imperial City to ask the dean of Skywater Academy for help.
After all, only a Soul Saint could deal with a Soul Saint.
And during their lovemaking last night, Lan Qingyan had also asked Gu Shenggo to help her overcome the Earl's Manor's crisis.
Since Lan Qingyan had willingly offered up her delectable body, Gu Shenggo naturally would not be heartless.
Dealing with a Soul Saint was nothing more than a wave of his hand.
"Mr. Gu, you haven't forgotten what you promised me, have you?"
Nestled in Gu Shenggo's arms, the beautiful woman asked him. Perhaps because she had called out too much last night, her voice had become somewhat hoarse.
Gu Shenggo nodded. He raised a hand and gently lifted Lan Qingyan's delicate chin, making her look at him. Gazing into her pale blue eyes, he said, "Having sampled Madam's sweetness, I will naturally help Madam resolve her troubles. It is only a Soul Saint, so Madam need not worry any longer. However, I have one more request, and I hope Madam will agree to it."
Hearing that Gu Shenggo had another request, a blush appeared on Lan Qingyan's beautiful face. Could it be that he wanted another taste of her?
"Please, tell me."
"I want to become a teacher at Skywater Academy. Could Madam arrange that?"
Gu Shenggo was only going to Heaven Dou Imperial City to find Qian Renxue. Since he had nothing else to do, he might as well become a teacher at Skywater Academy, teaching and guiding others.
Lan Qingyan was somewhat surprised upon hearing this. He wanted to become a teacher at Skywater Academy!
One had to know that Skywater Academy's dean, Leng Qishuang, her close sister, was only a Level 72 Soul Saint.
Having a Soul Douluo powerhouse stationed at Skywater Academy would be a tremendous boon to the academy, even if he was a man.
However, Skywater Academy had never had a male teacher before. Its teachers and students were all women.
"If you are willing to become a teacher at Skywater Academy, then Skywater Academy naturally welcomes you. However, Skywater Academy has never had a male teacher. Still, given your strength, I believe the dean will agree."
After giving it some thought, Lan Qingyan replied with a smile. A powerhouse on the verge of breaking through to Titled Douluo, and so young at that—based on her understanding of Leng Qishuang, she would certainly agree.
Gu Shenggo nodded in satisfaction. Becoming a teacher at Skywater Academy could be considered quite an interesting matter.
[ Ding~ A new mission has been issued. Please check it, Host. ]
"Hmm? A new mission."
Hearing the system prompt, a trace of surprise appeared in Gu Shenggo's eyes. It had come so quickly. He did not immediately open the system, instead telling Lan Qingyan to get up and take a bath.
"Madam, go take a bath first. Then we'll head to the Earl's Manor."
Lan Qingyan nodded and climbed out of Gu Shenggo's embrace, revealing her voluptuous, fair, alluring body, enough to make anyone drool.
Leaving Gu Shenggo, Lan Qingyan went into the bathroom to wash herself.
Gu Shenggo closed his eyes and began communicating with the system.
[Mission: Danger of Interception]
[Content: A Soul Saint is on the way to Suotuo City to intercept and kill Lan Qingyan. Protect Lan Qingyan from harm by the Soul Saint and drive back or kill the Soul Saint.]
[Reward: One Mysterious Water Pill.]
"Hmm? A Mysterious Water Pill?"
Gu Shenggo had no interest whatsoever in a mere Soul Saint, but the Mysterious Water Pill caught his attention.
He remembered that the Mysterious Water Pill came from the second installment of the Douluo five-part series, "Peerless Tang Sect," the only installment whose protagonist was not a member of the Tang family.
Though the protagonist of that installment had also been trained by Tang San into a loyal dog.
The Mysterious Water Pill could increase Innate Soul Power, cleanse the marrow and clear the meridians, and nourish one's meridians. It was a fairly good pill.
Gu Shenggo exited the system. He was rather interested in the Mysterious Water Pill. It had little effect on soul masters with high Innate Soul Power, but for soul masters with only one or even half a level of Innate Soul Power, it was practically a divine medicine. It could raise their Innate Soul Power and accelerate their cultivation.
Once he obtained the Mysterious Water Pill, he would have Void Archive analyze its composition and obtain the formula. Then he could mass-produce it.
Half an hour later, Lan Qingyan emerged from the bathroom. Her voluptuous, alluring body was wrapped in a bath towel, her hair still slightly damp and hanging down one side. Droplets of water remained on her snow-white skin, falling onto the floor.
Gu Shenggo also rose to stand before the beautiful woman who had just finished bathing. Looking at the man who had conquered her last night, Lan Qingyan's gorgeous face flushed faintly as she said in a sweet voice, "Mr. Gu, you should go take a bath."
Gu Shenggo nodded and entered the bathroom. Lan Qingyan sat on the bed, watching Gu Shenggo's silhouette through the bathroom, her beautiful eyes filled with fascination.
Although she had deliberately seduced Gu Shenggo last night, in just one night she had been conquered by him. Compared with him, Earl Shui, who had died not long ago, was simply useless—useless in every regard.
At thirty, a woman was like a wolf; at forty, like a tiger.
She had reached the age where her desires burned fiercely, yet Shui Bing'er's father had taken an even younger woman as his second wife and neglected her.
If not for the educational work at Skywater Academy keeping the hunger within her suppressed, she might have started sneaking around with other men while Shui Bing'er's father was still alive.
Once she took control of everything in the earl's estate, she would drive that woman out!
Whenever she thought of that second wife, Lan Qingyan disliked her intensely. Nothing but a slut.
Half an hour later, Gu Shenggo walked out directly without even wrapping himself in a bath towel, since there were no outsiders in the room.
Lan Qingyan had already changed into another light pink slit cheongsam, which hugged her plump, soft curves. She looked as delectable as a peach, making Gu Shenggo unable to resist wanting another taste.
Before long, Gu Shenggo had gotten dressed as well. As he had promised Lan Qingyan, he would head to Shui Li City and help her resolve the Shui Family's troubles.
"Then I'll have to trouble Mr. Gu."
Lan Qingyan nestled against Gu Shenggo's chest, wearing a delicate, alluring expression that inspired pity, like a soft and beautiful married woman seeking comfort.
Gu Shenggo gently stroked Lan Qingyan's tender cheek and said, "Of course. After all, you're already mine, Madam. It's only right that I help you."
Hearing that she belonged to Gu Shenggo, Lan Qingyan revealed a seductive smile. Earl Shui was already dead, so no one would dare object to her becoming Gu Shenggo's lover.
No one would be foolish enough to speak up for a dead man and offend a Soul Douluo expert.
(The Chancellor's will shall be inherited by me!)
