Jiang Yunzhou agreed to Ning Rongrong's proposal without a second thought, unusually readily.

The temptation of money was simply too hard to refuse.

"You're still growing, so you really should eat better—especially meat. Chicken, duck, fish, and meat, none of it can be left out. And vegetables, fruits, all kinds of seasonings, those need to be stocked up too..."

He began counting on his fingers.

Ning Rongrong listened attentively, afraid she might miss something and fail to buy it all later.

Watching her serious expression, Jiang Yunzhou deliberately continued at an unhurried pace. "As for the money... let's forget it. Your teacher isn't exactly rich, even a little poor, but supporting you two isn't a prob—"

He deliberately drew out his words.

Sure enough, before he could finish, Ning Rongrong grew anxious. She immediately stood up and patted her chest in assurance. "Teacher! We agreed that I'd cover everything! You've taught us so many precious cultivation methods and treated us so well. You even have to work hard cooking for us. How could we let you pay for our meals? It has to be me!"

Zhu Zhuqing didn't have that much money, but she didn't want to eat and drink for free either. She hurriedly stated, "Then from now on, all the housework will be mine?"

Jiang Yunzhou and Ning Rongrong were not polite in the least. They answered in unison, "Fine! It's all yours!"

Looking at the master and disciple pair who had reached an agreement so quickly, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly felt that something was off. Had she just been set up by capitalism?

And so, Zhu Zhuqing happily received the deluxe all-inclusive housework package.

Although the cultivation methods had already been passed down, more of it required them to cultivate and comprehend on their own.

But Jiang Yunzhou still had to teach the lessons that needed teaching.

The next morning, sunlight filled the little courtyard.

All three of them had slept well and gathered in the courtyard full of energy.

With his hands behind his back, Jiang Yunzhou paced back and forth before the two girls, putting on the full airs of a master.

"Listen carefully..."

He cleared his throat. "The cultivation methods I passed on to you both include ways to temper Spiritual Power. Rongrong, your 'Exquisite Heart Aperture' must be cultivated diligently every day without fail. Zhu Zhuqing, the same goes for your 'Soul Shifting Great Method.'"

"You both know that the upper limit of the age of Soul Rings one can absorb depends on two foundations: the toughness of the body and the strength of Spiritual Power."

"Therefore, while increasing your Spiritual Power, physical training must keep pace as well. Neither can be neglected."

"I'll specifically design a body-tempering regimen for you. In the future..."

Jiang Yunzhou spoke at length for over half an hour, mostly about correct but empty platitudes.

Yet the two girls didn't find it boring at all. If they couldn't take in the principles, they could still look at his face!

Just looking at their teacher's pleasing face and the serious expression he wore while speaking was enough to brighten their moods.

"All right, that's enough for now."

He finally ended his lecture. "For the next two days, you'll have free time. If you have the chance, go over there and give that girl named Xiao Wu some extra 'attention.'"

At those words, wariness immediately appeared in both girls' eyes.

Having two disciples share one master already made resources a little tight. Why was he trying to recruit another person?

"Teacher, I object!" Ning Rongrong was the first to jump out. "Poaching someone else's people is wrong!"

"Teacher," Zhu Zhuqing softly echoed, "I think Rongrong is right."

Jiang Yunzhou narrowed his eyes slightly, displeasure showing on his face.

This concerned the improvement of his own strength. How could he let his disciples influence such a matter?

"What? You two don't intend to listen to your master anymore?"

His tone darkened. "Since you're unwilling to go, then I have my own ways. I'll give you another task now—"

He pointed across the way. "Go challenge the students of Shilaike Academy. Treat them as your sparring partners. Actual combat is the fastest way to improve your strength."

"If they refuse to spar, then take the initiative and force them to fight! If anything happens, your master will bear it! All right, go."

He thought that more real combat was always better than shut-in training.

Weren't there a whole bunch of free sparring partners right across the way?

Once both of them broke through to level thirty, he would probably be able to reach level eighty as well.

Then he could take them on a trip to the Star Dou Great Forest. Once they absorbed their Soul Rings, they would leave this place.

Some vague thoughts seemed to flash through his mind, only to disappear quickly.

Jiang Yunzhou muttered to himself, It feels like I've forgotten something important...

"Teacher!"

Ning Rongrong's voice interrupted his thoughts. Pointing at her own nose, she looked utterly incredulous. "You want a support-type Soul Master like me to challenge them??"

Hearing that, Jiang Yunzhou directly flicked her smooth forehead with a curled finger. "Idiot! Can't you two fight them two against two? Or else, can't you challenge their support-type Soul Master? You have the damage reflection of the Glazed Wall. What are you afraid of?"

He glared at her. "Even if you can't beat them, can't you reflect them to death? Put those pestering skills of yours to use!"

After being lectured like that, Ning Rongrong was not angry in the slightest. Instead, she felt honored.

Teacher cared about her, which meant he was doing it for her own good!

Even when he scolded people, he looked so handsome. The second day of liking Teacher.

"Got it, Teacher!"

Rubbing her forehead, she said with a grin, "Then we're going now! Remember to have the food ready when we come back!"

Jiang Yunzhou waved his hand. Cooking was no big deal.

After sending off his two disciples, Jiang Yunzhou immediately felt a little bored. He simply found something to do in the courtyard, such as planting flowers and pulling weeds.

Shilaike Academy

Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong arrived side by side.

According to the strategy they had discussed, Ning Rongrong would handle the "quack quack," while Zhu Zhuqing would handle the slaughter.

After all, Ning Rongrong was not yet familiar with her new cultivation method, so for the time being, she would mainly be responsible for watching and cheering.

Ning Rongrong took a deep breath and circulated her Soul Power. Her crisp, somewhat provocative voice immediately spread through half of Shilaike Academy.

"Heeey~~ Shilaike students! Come out and 'receive guests'! We're from the Supreme Academy across the way, and we've come specially to challenge your academy today! Does anyone dare come out and exchange a few moves?"

Her voice precisely reached the ears of the Shilaike students who were undergoing Hulande's intensive training on the practice field.

Everyone's expressions instantly turned extremely ugly.

Someone had come right to their doorstep to provoke them? This was simply the greatest humiliation!

Dai Mubai, who had been beaten black and blue yesterday, had recovered seven or eight tenths after treatment from a healing-type Soul Master.

The moment he saw Zhu Zhuqing, fury immediately burst from his eyes.

Yesterday, this woman had beaten him up in public!

She was his fiancée! How dared she? How could she bring herself to do it?

"Zhu Zhuqing! You still have the nerve to come see me?" he roared.

Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes dramatically at once.

What did this idiotic blond giant mean? She looked at Zhu Zhuqing in confusion, her gaze asking for an explanation.

Zhu Zhuqing couldn't be bothered to explain at all. She merely looked coldly at Dai Mubai, her tone filled with disgust.

"I'm challenging you. My teacher said you can't refuse. Otherwise... he'll personally come and 'kill' you."
