From Now On! Never See Each Other Again!

"Big brother~ goodbye!"

At the palace gates, Fang Xuan waved his little hand and eagerly said goodbye to Qian Renxue.

"Good! Bye!"

Qian Renxue gritted her teeth in hatred, but still forced a radiant smile onto her face. Fang Xuan had nearly felt her all over just now.

She was confident that her disguise was flawless and that she had not exposed her identity as a woman.

Besides, Fang Xuan's tears had been incredibly sincere. They did not seem fake.

"He must really have been moved to tears by me..."

In the end, Qian Renxue came to that conclusion.

If she had not been certain that her identity was still concealed, she truly would have thought Fang Xuan was deliberately taking advantage of her.

"Hiss~ it hurts!"

At that moment, a burning pain spread from her butt. Qian Renxue's pretty face flushed red as her jade-like hand instinctively reached back to touch her slightly swollen rear. She immediately flew into a rage. "That little brat..."

Fang Xuan had put all his Soul Power into that slap. He could have shattered even a stone with one strike, yet that powerful blow had landed on Qian Renxue's tender butt.

It left her humiliated, furious... and in pain!

However!

After calming down, Qian Renxue's eyes gradually turned cold. No emotion could be seen within her icy pupils as she muttered to herself, "How did he survive...?"

Qian Renxue was indeed extremely efficient. At around two in the afternoon, just after Fang Xuan had finished lunch, he received his admission notice from Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Honestly, this strangely familiar scene gave him a bit of the same feeling as when he had received his acceptance letter from Tsinghua University.

Calm as still water, neither happy nor sad.

He remembered that his first reaction back then had been to eat a cup of instant noodles to calm himself down!

At the same time, major news such as Xue Ye summoning Fang Xuan and the useless prince joining Heaven Dou Royal Academy swept across Heaven Dou City like a gale.

In less than half a day, everyone knew about it.

"Hey, hey, did you hear? That useless prince is joining Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

"What, is a wild chicken going to turn into a phoenix?"

"A useless good-for-nothing without a Martial Soul who can't cultivate—even if he enters Heaven Dou Academy, what can he do? He'll just waste the Empire's resources."

"Hehe, you idiots really don't understand anything. The Royal Family's move carries deep significance. Think about it: Xue Ye let that illegitimate son wander the streets and ignored him for over a decade, so why did he suddenly summon him now?!"

"Could it be... the heir to the throne? No! That's impossible. The Empire already has His Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Hehe, just wait. There'll be a good show to watch."

As Fang Xuan walked down the street, he could feel the strange looks directed at him from all around. The people nearby were discussing him with great interest.

He was truly the center of attention!

Yeah, it felt a bit like being a celebrity. Not bad.

Fang Xuan remained calm and showed no discomfort. He first returned home, packed some clothes to change into, carefully shut the doors and windows, then headed straight for Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Time was life. He had to seize every second and strive to grow stronger, hoping to make a name for himself on Douluo Continent as soon as possible.

So, he did not intend to waste any time. He planned to move into the academy today and begin his path of cultivation!

Just as he stepped out of Heaven Dou City, a clear, bell-like voice rang out behind him.

"Hey, Fang Xuan!"

The somewhat familiar voice made Fang Xuan freeze. He instinctively turned around and saw a beautiful blue-haired girl running quickly toward him.

As she ran, the girl revealed a stunning smile and waved forcefully at Fang Xuan!

It was Shui Bing'er!

This was bad, very bad. The creditor had come knocking!

The moment Fang Xuan noticed Shui Bing'er, he realized trouble had arrived. He hurriedly turned away, pretended not to see her, and bolted madly out of the city.

"Hey! You... why are you running?!"

Shui Bing'er's smile gradually stiffened. She had greeted Fang Xuan with a smile, yet he not only ignored her, but turned around and ran away. It infuriated her.

"Stop right there!"

Shui Bing'er stomped her foot fiercely. Ice-blue Soul Power surged around her delicate body, and the phantom of a sacred Ice Phoenix flickered into view around her.

She directly used Martial Soul Possession. The massive pair of wings behind her flapped sharply, and her figure transformed into a streak of light as she chased after Fang Xuan ahead.

"Whoosh!"

Flying was naturally faster than running, and Shui Bing'er was a Soul Elder, far stronger than Fang Xuan. In the blink of an eye, she caught up to him.

Shui Bing'er's blue hair fluttered as the wings behind her beat. She hovered in midair like a Celestial Maiden, peerlessly beautiful. A trace of anger appeared on her exquisite face as she stared down at Fang Xuan with extreme dissatisfaction.

"Why are you running? Am I that scary? It's not like I'm going to eat you!" she snapped.

Looking at the furious girl blocking his path, Fang Xuan rubbed his temples with a headache. He coughed awkwardly and said, "Eh, aren't you that... whoever? What a coincidence, running into you here."

Shui Bing'er slowly descended from the air and looked at Fang Xuan with resentment. She sighed. "We're leaving. I came to say goodbye to you today."

"What? You're leaving? Really?!"

Fang Xuan's face lit up with delight. He was just short of saying, "Great!"

Seeing how happy he looked only made Shui Bing'er even more angry and annoyed. She hated Fang Xuan so much that her teeth itched.

"I heard you joined Heaven Dou Royal Academy?" Shui Bing'er tried her best to remain calm as she quietly watched Fang Xuan.

"Mm." Fang Xuan nodded seriously.

"Then we'll be enemies from now on!"

Shui Bing'er's gaze gradually sharpened. Puffed up with anger, she said, "In two years, the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament will begin. We'll meet again on the Competition Ground, and when that time comes, I'll defeat you myself!"

"Oh..." Fang Xuan answered indifferently.

At that moment, Shui Bing'er lightly bit her red lips, her long lashes trembling slightly. She looked pitifully delicate as she gave Fang Xuan a resentful glance. "I'm leaving already. Don't you have anything you want to say to me?"

Fang Xuan thought for a while, then earnestly advised, "Study hard at Skywater Academy from now on. Don't come wandering around Heaven Dou City for no reason!"

"Go to hell! I never want to see you again!"

A mist of tears welled up in Shui Bing'er's large eyes. She glared fiercely at Fang Xuan, then turned and left in anger.

Nice!

Fang Xuan could not help revealing a satisfied smile. He had finally driven that girl away.

Being around his creditor made even the air he breathed feel suffocating. It was far too uncomfortable.

So...

From now on! Let's never meet again~
