Music

After Xue Qinghe and his two Titled Douluo guards left Moonlight Pavilion, the cold sweat on their backs finally began to subside.

"Young Master, Moonlight Pavilion is terrifying. That pressure was no weaker than the Grand Elder's!" The two Titled Douluo were both members of Spirit Hall's Elder Hall faction.

Or rather, they were utterly loyal to Qian Renxue, without the slightest hint of disobedience.

"What do you mean?" She had not felt even the slightest trace of pressure.

"That woman named Yun Yun is definitely no ordinary person. She was terrifying. When the two of us stood behind you, the way she looked at us... If we had dared to make a move against that little brat, she would have killed us immediately," said the tall, thin man.

He was one of Qian Renxue's guards. His Weapon Soul was Snake Lance, and he specialized in poison. He was one of Elder Hall's Titled Douluo who had not yet reached Level 95.

The one beside him possessed the Beast Soul Pufferfish, likewise one of Spirit Hall Elder Hall's Titled Douluo.

"Really?" Xue Qinghe had not noticed anything, so she was doubtful.

This showed that Yun Yun, with her current Level 95 Soul Power, could control her Soul Power with extreme precision.

"Enough. We'll discuss this later. Let's return to the palace first and have a proper talk with Xue Ye about the business arrangements." Xue Qinghe did not use respectful language when speaking of Xue Ye at this moment.

But only Pufferfish and Snake Lance were around.

It was lunchtime. Xue Qinghe entered the banquet hall of the Heaven Dou Empire's imperial palace. Countless resplendent golden decorations filled the hall. Even the utensils holding the food were made of gold.

Luxury was displayed in every detail.

If a single bowl were sold, the Gold Soul Coins it fetched would be enough for an ordinary family to eat for a lifetime—and still have some left over.

This was the class divide on Douluo Continent today. It was exceedingly severe.

Sometimes, commoners could not even afford a meal.

Yet members of the imperial family lived in such extravagance.

After Xue Qinghe returned to the Heaven Dou Empire's imperial household and exchanged views with Emperor Xue Ye,

Emperor Xue Ye found the deal very worthwhile. To the imperial family, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud was merely a high-grade Soul Tool and had no other use.

Thus, father and son quickly decided to trade away the Heaven Dou Empire's Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.

That afternoon, before classes ended at Moonlight Pavilion, Xue Qinghe arrived there once more. This time, however, he had not brought his two guards inside.

So Yun Yun did not appear, indirectly confirming that Xue Qinghe's guess had been more or less correct.

"Young Master, I'm delighted that our transaction was successfully completed." After receiving the recipes for all kinds of Milk Tea, Xue Qinghe was especially excited.

Milk Tea had given her many ideas. There were simply too many varieties!

Different types of Milk Tea had different effects: some aided sleep, some enhanced beauty, and some relieved fatigue.

Meanwhile, Xiao Feng held the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud in his tiny hands and played with it.

It was actually just a translucent, triangular crystal the color of seawater.

Since he had not awakened his Soul Power yet, he could not use the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud for the time being.

Holding it in his hand, he walked toward Tang Yuehua.

He wanted to see whether Tang Yuehua could become the Sea God.

He remembered that in the original story, Tang San had dripped a few drops of blood into it, after which he gained the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud's recognition as its master.

Tang Yuehua was teaching a class at the moment!

When she saw Xiao Feng enter, he did not interrupt her lesson, so she had no intention of paying him any attention and continued teaching.

Xiao Feng was exceptionally obedient today. He walked over and sat in the seat beside Xue Ke. He planned to wait until Tang Yuehua finished class before looking for her.

But after listening for a while, his eyelids became damn heavy, and he fell asleep with his head on the desk.

Then he felt a little hand pinching his cheek, and in his sleepy haze, he muttered, "Wife, stop fooling around."

Xue Ke, who had been pinching Xiao Feng's cheek beside him, froze when she heard that. She was only four!

She stopped pinching his cheek and seriously listened to Tang Yuehua's lesson instead.

"All right, students. Starting tomorrow, I'll begin teaching you Music!" Tang Yuehua, standing at the lectern, shared the upcoming course arrangements with her students.

Meanwhile, the sleeping Xiao Feng had no idea that Princess Xue Ke beside him had run out of the classroom with a flushed face and returned to the palace.

It was not until Tang Yuehua grabbed him by the ear that he woke up.

"Yue Hua, Wife, class is over?" That was the first thing out of his mouth when he saw Tang Yuehua after waking.

"Little Rascal, why did you come to listen to my class today?" Tang Yuehua was very curious why this Little Rascal had come to attend her lesson.

Xiao Feng said nothing. He took Tang Yuehua's hand and led her out of the classroom, preparing to return to the fifth floor.

He needed to confirm whether the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud would recognize Tang Yuehua as its master. If not, he would have to think of another way. He would not let Tang Yuehua grow old and die on Douluo Continent.

After reaching the room on the fifth floor, Xiao Feng shut the door. Yun Yun, who had been cultivating, also stopped.

"Little Rogue, what's gotten into you today?" Seeing Xiao Feng looking so serious, much like Tang Yuehua had when she first met him, Yun Yun asked.

"Yue Hua, Wife, Yun Yun, Wife, I have something good to show you." After speaking, Xiao Feng took the triangular, sea-blue crystal from his pocket.

"This is the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud. It is also the core of a divine artifact. I want Yue Hua, Wife, to see whether she can make it recognize her as its master. That would be even better." Xiao Feng's meaning was already obvious. If it recognized Tang Yuehua as its master, that would be fine. But if the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud did not recognize Tang Yuehua as its master, then someday, Sea God Poseidon—

I'll kill you, you Turtle Son.

"What do I need to do?" Tang Yuehua had no idea what the Little Rascal meant.

"Just cut your finger and drip a drop of blood onto it." Xiao Feng hated the thought of Yue Hua, Wife, suffering the pain of cutting her finger.

But in order for her to become a god, he still had to make her endure that small pain.

But damn it, when Tang Yuehua's blood fell onto the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, it damn well bounced back onto her finger.

What left Tang Yuehua, Yun Yun, and Xiao Feng even more dumbfounded was that the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud released a gentle power that healed the cut on Tang Yuehua's finger!

"What the hell is this thing?" Xiao Feng cursed in fury.

"Yue Hua, Wife, inject some Soul Power into it and give it a try." Tang Yuehua had only Level 9 Soul Power, but at least she possessed Soul Power. Xiao Feng did not have even a trace of it.

So he could only let Tang Yuehua see whether she could use it.

When Tang Yuehua sent a little Soul Power into the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, it instantly enveloped both her and Xiao Feng.

"Yun Yun, Wife, don't worry. Yue Hua, Wife, and I are both inside. How is it? You can't see me either, right?" Having tested the effect, Xiao Feng felt it was quite good. His only regret was that it could not recognize Tang Yuehua as its master and grant her a divine position.

"It really is quite miraculous." Yun Yun sensed that both their auras had vanished, as if they had disappeared entirely. Yet she could still speak to the two inside.

"This truly is a fine divine artifact." Yun Yun nodded again.

"Little Rogue, you're not going to use this thing to peep on people, are you?" Yun Yun's train of thought made Xiao Feng's mouth twitch.

"What nonsense! This Young Master is an upright gentleman. Don't slander This Young Master's good name, or I'll sue you for defamation!" Xiao Feng withdrew the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud and spoke with a solemn expression.

"Heh. An upright gentleman, sure. A little brat barely over four years old who already knows how to take advantage of Yun Yun and me, this Little Rascal who keeps feeling us up."

Tang Yuehua listed the things Xiao Feng had done over the past few years.

"Fine. You'll both be my wives anyway, so what's wrong with that?" Xiao Feng simply spread his hands and admitted it.

His expression plainly said, This Young Master is your Child Husband. What can you two do to me?

"Later, I'll ask Uncle Ode to get me a Storage Soul Tool. Then I'll carry this thing around and put it inside the Soul Tool."

Since the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud would not recognize Tang Yuehua as its master, it meant the thing was useless to her.

He could only keep it for himself. He had been waiting for his lousy system to wake up, but damn it, it still had not awakened even now. He could not worry about that anymore.

After all, he occasionally cultivated the Nine Yang Divine Skill. He simply had not yet given the Nine Yin Manual to Tang Yuehua, not because he did not want her to cultivate it.

Xiao Feng felt that in a little over a year, he would awaken his Martial Soul. Once someone on Douluo Continent reached six and awakened their Martial Soul, every family would have them sleep separately from the adults.

More importantly, he did not know whether Tang Yuehua could cultivate this internal cultivation method. With the stupid system still asleep, he did not dare let his wife take the risk.

"Yue Hua, Wife, starting tomorrow, This Young Master will study Music with you. You must believe that This Young Master has exceptionally high talent in Music."

Xiao Feng said this with extreme seriousness!

"Pfft. Little Rascal, stop causing trouble for me. I don't want all my students to be led astray by you!" Tang Yuehua was telling the truth. Though she really wanted this Little Rascal to study with her,

over the past few years, what had this Little Rascal done?

Every time she taught a group of students, this Little Rascal would go and lead them astray. By now, all of Moonlight Pavilion knew that Xiao Feng was its Little Devil King!

"All right, stop making trouble for Yue Hua, Sister." Yun Yun gently picked Xiao Feng up from where he stood and placed him on her lap.

"Hey, hey, I'm telling the truth! How can you not believe me?" Xiao Feng grew anxious. He really was telling the truth!

"Really?" Tang Yuehua asked tentatively.

"Of course it's true. This Young Master is seriously serious this time, okay?" Xiao Feng spoke very earnestly.

But Yun Yun and Tang Yuehua simply did not believe him.

The two peerlessly beautiful women only smiled and shook their heads.

"Heh, you two don't believe me, do you? How about the three of us make a bet?" Xiao Feng said confidently.

"Oh? Little Rascal, what do you want to bet on?" Tang Yuehua tilted her head and looked at the solemn Xiao Feng, asking in puzzlement.

"If This Young Master loses, you can deal with me however you want. But if you both lose, heh heh." Though Xiao Feng was only a little over four years old, he still wore that Little Fox smile so unsuited to his age.

"Yun Yun, Sister, what do you think? Shall we bet with him?" Tang Yuehua did not really want to. Though she did not know what the outcome would be, that was simply her nature.

So she asked Yun Yun's opinion.

"Sure. Then this sect master will give this Little Rogue a proper lesson." Yun Yun looked at Xiao Feng, sitting on her lap in her arms, with a wicked smile.

"Heh heh, just wait and see! Watch This Young Master display his greatness. Music is just that easy for This Young Master." Sitting on Yun Yun's lap, Xiao Feng could not have looked more pleased with himself.

Tang Yuehua could not help reaching out and pinching his little cheek with her delicate hand.
