Can't Wait Ten Years

Yanhuang Academy occupied a vast area, with Phoenix Hall being almost the largest hall within it.

Phoenix Hall was built around "Phoenix Mountain," with thousands of buildings and pavilions stretching for ten miles.

This Phoenix Hall had a total of three grade levels.

The advanced classes were at the summit of Phoenix Mountain, the intermediate classes were on the mountainside, and the newly admitted junior classes, ten in total, were basically located at the foot of the mountain.

In terms of spiritual energy, the advanced classes were undoubtedly the best.

In reality, the process of advancing from the junior classes to the advanced classes saw a continuous decrease in the academy disciples.

Those who couldn't keep up would repeat the grade, then drop out, so it was already quite impressive to graduate smoothly.

Senior Master Mu Wan's "Mu Wan Class" was still in its old location, next to a lake called "Fei Ling Lake."

There were hundreds of buildings here, where the fifty disciples of Mu Wan Class cultivated and grew each year.

The previous Mu Wan Class had already advanced to the intermediate level, so Fei Ling Lake was now empty.

Li Tianming was the first disciple to join Mu Wan Class this year, but after completing his trial, he went back to accompany his mother.

When he arrived today, Fei Ling Lake was already bustling with activity. Many newly admitted young disciples were excitedly running around.

"Li Tianming, come in." As soon as he reached Fei Ling Lake, Senior Master Mu Wan's voice reached his ears.

He suspected she had eyes everywhere; otherwise, how could she have spotted him the moment he approached?

He was summoned to Senior Master Mu Wan's "Mu Feng Hall" alone once again.

This was where the Senior Master usually practiced and also where she disciplined her disciples...

Li Tianming knocked and entered. In the courtyard ahead, Senior Master Mu Wan was lazily sprawled on a lounge chair.

She was covered with a sable fur blanket, her long, fair legs exposed.

As Li Tianming entered, she happened to turn over and stretch, her perfect curves making his nose bleed.

Li Tianming was a gentleman, so he maintained a serious demeanor and averted his gaze—

That was because he knew very well that if he looked any longer, Senior Master Mu Wan would find an excuse to beat him up.

"You've gotten smarter; I don't even have a chance to find an excuse to beat you up anymore," Senior Master Mu Wan said with a smile, looking at him.

"How could a Senior Master who is kind, gentle, elegant, and mild possibly hit someone?"

"Shut up and come here to rub my shoulders." Mu Wan smiled alluringly, as if there was an implication.

But if one truly believed it was an implication and acted presumptuously, they would be beaten severely.

"Ahem." Li Tianming felt something was amiss.

"You ungrateful wretch, do you know how much pressure I had to withstand to take you in? Hurry up and show your gratitude," Mu Wan rolled her eyes.

This was true; the other nine Senior Masters had ignored Li Tianming's performance.

Her strong support at this time was indeed worthy of gratitude.

Li Tianming stepped forward and stood behind her, massaging her shoulders.

Honestly, massaging the shoulders of this great beauty, having intimate skin contact, wasn't suffering at all.

Li Tianming felt a surge of heroic spirit, as if he held the world in his hands. With his skillful technique, Mu Wan felt incredibly comfortable, almost moaning.

"Take out your Companion Beast and let me play with it," Mu Wan suddenly said.

Li Tianming thought that he couldn't be the only one suffering the "abuse" from this female demon, so he immediately seized the opportunity to take out the Little Yellow Chicken.

The little creature was still fast asleep when Mu Wan took it and started playing with it.

"Who the heck..." The Little Yellow Chicken, with its fiery temper upon waking, was about to curse. But upon opening its eyes, it saw a fragrant beauty before it.

Moreover, this beauty was holding it against her chest.

It immediately suppressed its anger, went limp in Mu Wan's hands, and enjoyed her "playfulness."

Li Tianming watched, dumbfounded. He never expected this Little Yellow Chicken to be so shameless.

"Quite interesting. Your little chick is quite amusing," Senior Master Mu Wan said, looking back at him.

"Senior Master, if you speak like that, I might misunderstand," Li Tianming said shyly.

"Oh, Li Tianming, you dare to flirt with me? I sentence you to a month of continuous shoulder massages," Mu Wan said with a wicked grin.

He fell for it...

He wanted to cry but had no tears. However, getting to massage her shoulders for a month seemed like a gain?

"As long as Senior Master is happy, this disciple will give his life to massage your shoulders," Li Tianming said as if facing death.

"Get lost. You make it sound like I'm getting a great deal. Alright, I called you here today to discuss something serious." She became serious, and Li Tianming stopped his fingers, waiting for her to speak.

"Please speak, Senior Master."

"Three years ago, there was a coincidence that I found very interesting."

"Less than ten days after that incident of yours, news came that Lin Xiaoting had obtained a Saint Beast Battle Soul."

Mu Wan's bright eyes stared into his.

"What did Senior Master want to say?" Li Tianming asked.

"I was thinking, the Saint Beast Battle Soul is yours, right?"

"After you returned from the Sunken Abyss Battlefield, one day I saw Golden Feather's feathers were a bit strange, I felt an ancient aura, but I didn't think much of it."

Mu Wan stared at him and asked. In three years, she was the first person to ask Li Tianming such a question.

For everyone else, even if Li Tianming told them the truth, no one would believe him.

Before Li Tianming could answer, Mu Wan lay back down and said, "So, even though I'm an outsider, I've made up some stories in my head. Do you want to hear them?"

"Of course, I love listening to stories," Li Tianming said.

"This story has a boy and a girl."

"They were in love for a year. The boy deeply loved the girl, but the girl seemed to have other ideas."

"One day, the boy obtained a world-shattering treasure. He only told the girl about it."

"He never expected that the girl would use this news as a stepping stone to climb up to a young master from a prestigious family. Together, they stole the treasure, slandered and crippled the boy, leaving him in eternal damnation."

After finishing, she turned back to look at Li Tianming with a half-smile and asked, "What do you think of this story? Is it real?"

"Senior Master has a great imagination, but I feel it's a bit exaggerated. After all, calling them 'boy' and 'girl' sounds a bit awkward?" Li Tianming said with a smile.

As soon as he said this, Mu Wan gazed at him for a long time.

She wasn't joking; she was looking at Li Tianming very seriously.

"I'm a selfish person sometimes, and I like to tease people, but still, I have a little sense of justice in my heart."

"If the young man in this story could rise from the dead, I'd be willing to help a little."

Senior Master Mu Wan shook her head and chuckled.

"Then he's quite lucky, after all, there aren't many good people," Li Tianming said.

"However, I must remind him that after gaining new opportunities, he must cultivate diligently."

"Never let hatred blind your eyes, don't ruin your chance of a rebirth. A gentleman's revenge is never too late, and ten years is not too long. It's only been three years."

Mu Wan said seriously and directly.

Li Tianming understood her meaning. These words were the purpose of her seeking him out today.

He was truly grateful. In this chaotic world, to meet such a Senior Master was his honor.

He took a deep breath and said, "Senior Master, perhaps he wants to tell you that he has endured hardships for the past three years, all to send his enemies to hell. He is not a gentleman and cannot wait ten years."

"If he truly thinks that way, I can't stop him."

"But, you must remember, a true avenger will not make foolish mistakes like throwing an egg against a rock again. If the revenge plan fails, his enemies will live freely for a hundred years, and that would be the true tragedy!"

"But what if he's someone even Senior Master underestimates?" Li Tianming asked.

Mu Wan pursed her lips and remained silent.

"His goal this time is to enter the Heavenly Mansion. If he can enter the Heavenly Mansion, then anything is possible in the future."

"But please rest assured, Senior Master, he has a belief that ordinary people don't possess. Someone with such a belief will not lose, because no one knows what he has endured these past three years!"

Li Tianming didn't expect to find that kind of hysterical feeling from Senior Master Mu Wan.

His emotions were being released wildly.

At this moment, he felt like a mad beast. His blood tore through his veins and rushed into his brain, as if the entire world had turned blood-red.

And within the blood-red, the scene from three years ago kept replaying. The feathers plucked from Golden Feather were scattered all over the ground.

Each feather was stained with its tears of pain and blood.

Tianming, save me!

These four words pierced his brain like poison needles, the stinging pain capable of turning a person into a beast.

The blood-red was so thick that he could barely breathe.

Three years.

Is it okay in another world...

Will it hate me for not giving it an explanation after three years!

Who says it can wait ten years? I can't wait ten years!

At this moment, his chest felt as if it were filled with lava, and more lava kept pouring in, ready to explode at any moment.

"Child..."

Just then, a warm and soft embrace allowed his burning heart to find solace.

Perhaps this gentle embrace naturally possessed the power to calm people down.

The blood-red in his eyes gradually disappeared.

It turned out Mu Wan was gently holding him, her hands stroking his head and back, allowing him, who was like a wild beast, to calm down.

This soft embrace was truly unforgettable.

"Senior Master, if I perform like that a few more times in the future, will you still hug me like this?" Li Tianming suddenly asked.

"Naughty!" Senior Master Mu Wan didn't loosen her arms. Perhaps being able to melt a volcano with gentleness was also a sense of accomplishment, so she was quite satisfied.

However, her palm gripped the flesh on Li Tianming's neck and twisted slightly, making him grimace in pain.

"Let you feel what happens when you dare to tease me." Mu Wan then let go, looking at him with schadenfreude.

"Senior Master, I still profited." Although his neck hurt, the warmth and scent from earlier were truly unforgettable.

"Scram." Mu Wan realized she couldn't even control him anymore.

He seemed to have changed. The Li Tianming from three years ago was very well-behaved and pure.

"Okay, I'll be absolutely quick."

Li Tianming grabbed the Little Yellow Chicken, who was watching the show from the side, and bolted.

After all, he had already taken advantage of the situation. If he stayed here, he would definitely get beaten again.

It was only when the wind rushed into his nose and mouth that he realized the fire in his chest was still burning.

He looked up, towards the direction behind Phoenix Mountain.

He knew that was the direction of Heavenly Mansion!

He and she might have already heard the news of his return.
