Six Years Later, the First Thing!
"Teacher Song Ming, he humiliated you like that just now. You should take back the dignity you lost."
Chi Xiu looked at Song Ming, who sat stunned in his chair, and spoke seriously.
Song Ming looked troubled. "Student Chi, he's a Prince..."
Chi Xiu smiled. "Teacher, you know my surname is Chi. Do you not know who I am?"
"Chi..."
Song Ming rose to his feet, and his expression gradually changed.
"I am Chi Yuan's son, the heir of the Purple Star Sect. Purple Star Academy was founded by the successive sect masters of the Purple Star Sect. In Heaven Dou City, it represents the face of our Purple Star Sect. So what if he's a Prince? If others don't offend me, I won't offend them. Even a Prince must pay the price for what he says and does!"
After speaking, Chi Xiu turned to Xue Xing. "Sorry. I, Chi Xiu, can't tolerate even a grain of sand in my eyes."
With that, he kicked Xue Xing in the face again.
Ning Fengzhi stared intently at Chi Xiu. He had never expected words like those to come from a six-year-old child.
For a six-year-old to possess such responsibility and spirit was simply unimaginable.
Just how favored by heaven was this generation's heir of the Purple Star Sect?
As Chi Xiu continued beating Xue Xing, a crazed roar suddenly came from behind him. With bloodshot eyes, Song Ming charged over and kicked Xue Xing again and again.
He had been a teacher at Purple Star Academy for so many years, and he was often responsible for negotiating with other academies. He had always led students alone while enduring the disdain and exclusion of other academies. He had even been surrounded and attacked before, yet had not dared to fight back. Heaven Dou Royal Academy had been the worst of them all.
At this moment, all of Song Ming's grievances erupted.
He cried and shouted as he punched and kicked Xue Xing.
"Little Xiu, he is a Prince after all. Have you thought about what to do next?"
Ning Fengzhi looked at Chi Xiu.
At that moment, someone else spoke.
"What does my uncle's serious injury have to do with this little fellow? Education Committee Zhang Wei didn't want to be dismissed, so he went all out and clashed with Meng Shenji. My uncle happened to appear while they were subduing him and was caught in the aftermath. There was nothing that could be done."
Xue Qinghe recounted the matter from the beginning.
Chi Xiu looked at Xue Qinghe in surprise. Full marks for that explanation.
"Then the three people injured in this incident had better permanently lose the ability to reveal the truth."
Chi Xiu spoke, then turned around and rejoined the group beating Xue Xing.
Ning Fengzhi looked at Xue Qinghe. The latter smiled faintly. "Teacher, I know what you want to ask. My uncle is a complete fool with no sense of the bigger picture. He abuses his authority for personal gain and causes trouble everywhere. Father has long been dissatisfied with him. Family affection has never had any need to exist within the imperial family."
Ning Fengzhi took a deep breath and nodded.
Xue Qinghe's handling of matters was extremely capable. He arranged everything neatly: Meng Shenji was crippled all over, Zhang Wei left no corpse behind, and Xue Xing lost the ability to speak and move. The fates of the three developed exactly as Xue Qinghe had described.
After this incident, Chi Xiu finally understood the importance of strength.
Before absolute power, authority was utterly worthless.
Take Xue Xing, for example. He was a Prince, but what could a Prince do before Gu Yuena at the peak of her combat power?
Even if he sent tens of millions of Soul Masters to surround and kill Gu Yuena, they would only be marching to their deaths one after another.
Chi Xiu was spurred on. He had to become stronger as quickly as possible.
Other people became stronger by seizing every moment to cultivate.
But in order to grow stronger, Chi Xiu forcibly changed his daily schedule into eating, drinking, relieving himself, and sleeping.
He traded sleep for pills and immortal herbs. After all, the Meteorite Stone could only neutralize direct attacks. Chi Xiu's physical constitution still lagged far behind the strongest, and one's physique determined the age limit of the Soul Rings one could absorb. The prerequisite for raising a Soul Ring's age was strengthening one's body.
Thus, in the days that followed, Chi Xiu's daily routine became eating, drinking, relieving himself, sleeping, and taking medicine.
After his Soul Power slowly began increasing through sleep, Chi Xiu gradually discovered that he could not obtain Soul Rings by hunting Soul Beasts. The only way to acquire Soul Rings was through sleeping.
Moreover, even the increase in a Soul Ring's age did not automatically come with improved physical strength. Only after his physique improved could he increase the age of his Soul Rings by sleeping...
This sleeping method really did "cure everything."
The days passed one by one. Ning Rongrong came to Purple Star Academy every day to play with Chi Xiu, but she usually could not see him, because Chi Xiu had now become a cultivation fanatic.
Even when Gu Yuena wanted to share his bed, Chi Xiu refused and drove her outside.
He needed to sleep! Sleep! Sleep!
Time flew by. Six years later.
Purple Star Advanced Soul Master Academy.
A masked youth sat on the eaves above the dormitory building. His black hair had grown to his shoulders, and his perfect jawline had become even sharper and more defined.
"The moon is beautiful, but it can't compare to you in the slightest."
"You're so annoying! If I hadn't dragged you up here to admire the moon with me, you'd be off sleeping again by now."
The silver-haired girl rested her head on Chi Xiu's shoulder. The boy beside her was no longer the little child he had been six years ago. His once narrow shoulders had grown broader, giving people a strong sense of security.
Even though Gu Yuena did not need a sense of security.
What she found with Chi Xiu was a sense of belonging.
"Master, I've realized that I seem unable to leave you."
Gu Yuena spoke in a lovely voice, her red lips soft and lustrous beneath the moonlight.
"Isn't that obvious? You've clung to me for six years. I can't drive you away no matter what."
Chi Xiu turned and smiled at her.
"I mean, I think I've fallen for you. The kind of feelings between a man and a woman."
Gu Yuena spoke quietly, as if she were discussing something utterly ordinary.
Chi Xiu turned to look at her, his eyes flickering. Gu Yuena had remained by his side all these years, taking care of him in every possible way. She was originally the lofty Silver Dragon King, yet before him, she had shed all her coldness and ferocity.
"Do you still want to merge with me?"
Chi Xiu asked with a smile.
"Of course not. I want to stay by Master's side forever."
Gu Yuena lifted her head. Even her smile on that breathtakingly beautiful face was stunning, despite how many years he had looked at it.

P.S. Let me recommend a book, "Starting by Pretending to Be a Second Personality." It's ridiculously good. Here's the blurb:
A meteor shower tore across the sky, bringing the world a radioactive crystal.
Living creatures exposed to the radiation rapidly mutated, turning in an instant into monsters born for slaughter.
For a time, a biochemical crisis swept across the globe.
Humanity stood on the brink.
In 2048, new technology exploded forward. Many great cities leaped into cyberpunk worlds, yet humanity could still only struggle for survival behind towering walls.
One day, Zhe Yuanfeng's consciousness appeared elsewhere and took the form of a girl. After gaining the girl's abilities, he decided to pretend to be her second personality!
