After savoring the soft lips of the beautiful married woman Kadan, Gu Ye said, "All right, you should head back first."

"Mhm. When I have time, I'll come find you... to treat my mouth." Madam Kadan said with a smile before leaving Gu Ye's Medical Clinic.

Watching the beautiful married woman Kadan sway her way out of the clinic, Gu Ye thought of the few times they had shared carnal pleasures in the past and sighed inwardly. The charm of a mature woman truly was hard to resist.

After watching Kadan leave, Gu Ye thought of Xue Qinghe's arrival in Suotuo City three days from now.

He knew that Xue Qinghe's identity was actually Qian Renxue of Spirit Hall in disguise. Since he would be coming to Suotuo City in three days, should he make contact with him then?

After some thought, Gu Ye quietly made a decision. He would definitely perform a life surgery on Qian Renxue, then leave a drop of liquid that would make her think of him inside her body. It would surely benefit her greatly.

Nothing happened that night. The next day, Gu Ye continued seeing patients at the clinic, opening for business as usual.

At night, he would head to the Suotuo City Great Spirit Arena to collect Martial Soul Blood. While he was there, he would visit the beautiful married woman Kadan, treat her injured mouth in her room, and soothe her troubled heart as well.

Meanwhile, over at Shrek Academy.

The bell for class rang, and everyone at Shrek Academy gathered on the training ground.

Dai Mubai was the first to arrive. After returning to the academy last night to write his self-criticism, he had thought of Gu Ye mocking him and Zhu Zhuqing looking down on him. He simply could not swallow that resentment, and it kept him awake all night.

Ning Rongrong arrived at the training ground cheerfully, arm in arm with Xiao Wu.

The current Ning Rongrong had not clashed with Flender, Dai Mubai, and the others as she had in the original story.

Moreover, thanks to Gu Ye's treatment and learning that exercise promoted her growth and development, she completed her running assignment on time every day without needing Flender to urge her.

It was only the third day, yet Ning Rongrong had already noticed a tremendous change in herself.

She believed in Gu Ye's treatment even more now.

When Zhu Zhuqing, who was standing beside Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu, saw that Dai Mubai had arrived so early, she gave a cold snort and did not spare him another glance.

Ma Hongjun and Tang San also noticed Dai Mubai when they arrived. However, they felt that Dai Mubai seemed somewhat different from yesterday.

As for what exactly was different, they could not say.

Flender was still the one teaching them today.

Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, Tang San, and the others waited for a full quarter of an hour before their headmaster finally strolled over at an unhurried pace.

"Today is the second lesson. Where's Oscar? Is he sleeping in again?" Flender frowned when he did not see Oscar upon arriving.

Tang San hurriedly said, "He was still cultivating when I left this morning. Perhaps he entered deep meditation and wasn't able to wake up in time."

"This class cannot proceed without him. Tang San, go call him."

Tang San had just been about to return to the dormitory when he saw Oscar running over in a hurry from that direction.

However, there was no panic over being late on his face. Instead, it was filled with excitement.

"Oscar, are you trying to run laps again?" Flender glared at him.

Oscar hurriedly shook his head. "No, Headmaster, please let me explain. I broke through. I've reached level thirty."

"What?"

Not only Flender, but Tang San, Dai Mubai, and the others all cast astonished looks at Oscar.

Oscar was a year younger than Dai Mubai and only fourteen years old. Reaching level thirty Soul Power at fourteen was already a terrifying feat. More importantly, Oscar possessed a food-type Martial Soul, one of the most difficult types of Martial Souls to cultivate.

Flender's eyes visibly lit up. "Good, good, good! Oscar, you haven't disappointed me. You are the third among the current students to reach level thirty. On behalf of the academy, I congratulate you."

At this moment, even Dai Mubai's expression was no longer gloomy. He walked over to Oscar and patted him on the shoulder. "Little Ao, congratulations. Although you reached level thirty a little later than I did, as a food-type Soul Master, you are already the most outstanding genius I've ever seen."

Oscar glared at Dai Mubai somewhat awkwardly. "Stop making fun of me. Compared to Zhu Zhuqing, how can I count as a genius?"

At Oscar's words, everyone turned to look at Zhu Zhuqing.

Indeed, Zhu Zhuqing was the youngest among the seven of them, having just turned twelve, yet she had already reached level thirty.

Such aptitude truly could not be described merely as genius.

Looking at Zhu Zhuqing, Dai Mubai knew that her breakthrough to level thirty was related to Gu Ye. At that thought, he made a decision.

He walked up to Zhu Zhuqing and said seriously, "Zhuqing, I know my past life was rather promiscuous. But last night, I already wrote a self-criticism for the headmaster, and I promise you here that those things will never happen again from today onward. I'll also cut all ties with those people from before."

Dai Mubai's tone was firm. The fact that he was willing to put aside his pride and say such things to Zhu Zhuqing, a woman, already showed his determination.

"Mubai, I'm very pleased that you have such resolve." Flender patted Dai Mubai on the shoulder from the side, then looked at Zhu Zhuqing. "Zhuqing, you are all students of Shrek Academy now. Let the past stay in the past. In the future, you will need to support one another. Do you understand what I mean?"

"That's right, Zhuqing. Boss Dai is a good man. Though he used to live a little wildly, he truly is a good man. As his brother, I know that best." Ma Hongjun spoke up in support.

"Indeed. Leaving everything else aside, Boss Dai is absolutely loyal to his brothers. So, Zhuqing, for someone as proud as Boss Dai to put aside his pride and apologize to you, that is enough to show his sincerity." Oscar added his support as well.

Zhu Zhuqing remained silent.

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's expression, Ning Rongrong spoke for her. "Dai Mubai, who knows whether what you're saying is true?"

Dai Mubai shot an unfriendly glance at the meddling Ning Rongrong, then looked back at Zhu Zhuqing. "I know you don't believe what I say right now. Then let time prove it."

"All right, remember this: you are all members of Shrek Academy. Supporting one another is the most basic thing. That concludes the private matters. Now, I have an announcement."

Flender swept his gaze across the group before continuing, "After today's class, you will set out tomorrow. Teacher Zhao Wuji will lead you to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt the third Soul Rings belonging to Zhu Zhuqing and Oscar."

Previously, Flender had felt that it was not suitable to head to the Star Dou Great Forest just because Zhu Zhuqing had broken through level thirty immediately after enrolling. Now that Oscar had broken through as well, the timing was just right.

"Yes!"

The Shrek Seven Devils answered in unison.

After finishing Flender's remaining lessons, Flender dismissed everyone.

Before sending them off, he called Ma Hongjun aside.

"Dean Flender, what is it?"

"Mm. Come with me to Suotuo City later. We're going to ask Gu Ye for something."

"What?"

"Something to treat your evil fire."

That was right. Before Ma Hongjun set out for the Star Dou Great Forest, Flender wanted to get a dose of tranquilizer from Gu Ye.
