Zhang Lexuan: No More Female Disciples

Zhou Huan and Zhang Lexuan did not stay in Peach Spring Village for long, only five days.

During their conversation, the two mainly talked about their experiences over the years and how to cultivate the most suitable Joyful Path for newlyweds.

Zhou Huan also asked Zhang Lexuan with great curiosity if, as a cultivator, there was any Dual Cultivation Secret Art of dual cultivation that everyone longed for, and then he was severely suppressed by Zhang Lexuan for two whole days.

On the morning of the sixth day, the two reluctantly left Peach Spring Village and returned to Shrek, after all, they couldn't stay in this small mountain village forever.

Zhou Huan had already sent a telepathic message to Crouching Dragon and Young Phoenix for him in class for several days, and he had also asked Xiao Xiao and the others to prepare everything.

Instead of returning directly to Sea God Island, the two walked slowly hand in hand through the main gate of the academy.

The arrival of the Purple Maple God Realm did not affect Shrek, nor did it affect Douluo Continent. In fact, very few people knew that Douluo Star was almost destroyed.

Although there were still tens of seconds before the Purple Maple God Realm collided with Douluo Star, which seemed like a very short time, the distance that the Purple Maple God Realm could travel in those tens of seconds was actually quite large, given its displacement speed.

Therefore, in the Douluo Continent, apart from Zhou Huan and a few other powerful figures above the god level, no one else could sense the arrival of the Purple Maple God Realm, let alone know that a short God King Battle had taken place deep in the starry sky.

"It's so good to be a student, carefree." Zhang Lexuan sighed with a touch of nostalgia as she watched the occasional Disciple from the Outer Court chatting and laughing on campus.

Zhou Huan nodded in complete agreement, saying, "That's for sure. Although the competition at Shrek is fierce, students only need to focus on cultivation and leveling up; they don't need to worry about anything else. Just like in my previous life, apart from a small number of students who didn't have a good life due to their environment or family circumstances, most people's most cherished time was when they were students, especially in university..."

As Zhou Huan slowly described that world, which was nowhere to be found, Zhang Lexuan was very interested, because it was her husband's past, and she wanted to know more.

The two walked hand in hand, chatting as they strolled through the quiet campus.

This scene was harmonious and beautiful.

"Teacher?"

"Sister Zhang?"

Two clear voices rang out simultaneously from behind Zhou Huan and Zhang Lexuan.

The two turned around together and saw two girls dressed in the red robes of the Inner Court Disciple, one with long blue hair and the other with short black hair.

Upon seeing Zhang Lexuan, the blue-haired girl immediately ran over with a face full of joy, grabbed Zhang Lexuan's arm, and excitedly said, "Sister Zhang, Sister Zhang, you're finally back!"

Zhang Lexuan smiled gently, ruffled the blue-haired girl's hair, and said, "Long time no see, Little Bubble has grown up too."

The blue-haired girl was none other than Bai Paopao, who had been studying at Shrek for several years.

Bai Paopao shook her head and said with a grin, "Actually, I haven't really grown up. The reason I've gotten taller is because I don't want to look so special, after all, I've been at Shrek for five years."

She's a Sea Soul Beast who's lived for tens of thousands of years and still looks like a child. How could she possibly grow into a young woman in just a few years? It's not like she's Soul Beast who's reborn.

Her "growing taller" was actually just a transformation. After all, the Demon Soul Great White Shark Clan naturally possessed this skill; otherwise, they wouldn't be able to live on land or in the deep sea.

Zhang Lexuan smiled gently and said, "Little Bubble is still so cute."

For some reason, Zhou Huan suddenly felt a maternal glow emanating from his wife, Bai Paopao.

Is this because they got married?

Just as Zhou Huan was lost in thought, the black-haired girl next to Bai Paopao spoke up, her tone slightly dissatisfied yet also carrying a hint of coquetry. "Teacher, you said you would guide my cultivation these few days, but where have you been? Have you forgotten again?"

Well...

Of course I forgot! I've been busy with important life events these past few days, how could I possibly remember something as trivial as guiding my Disciple in their cultivation?

However, as a teacher, Zhou Huan certainly couldn't say that, so he said, "Xiao Meng, I've been saving the world these past few days, you have to understand, I'm very busy."

That's right, this short-haired girl with black hair is Xu Xiaomeng.

Over the years, thanks to Xu Xiaomeng's persistent (and relentless) efforts, Zhou Huan finally accepted her as his first Disciple.

However, Zhou Huan only occasionally gave Xu Xiaomeng extra help; compared to other students, she wasn't treated much differently, and was basically left to her own devices.

Xu Xiaomeng is quite promising; she has good talent and is also very ambitious. She has already broken through to the High-level Soul King before she is even eighteen years old.

This first Disciple brought Zhou Huan a sense of satisfaction despite his advanced age.

However, Xu Xiaomeng was speechless at her teacher's perfunctory reason of "saving the world," and looked "wronged" as she said, "Teacher, I'm your only Disciple, you can't just ignore me."

"That's a bit shameless," Zhou Huan thought to herself, "I'm your teacher, not your father." But she still clutched her chest, looking heartbroken, and said, "You're hurting your teacher's feelings. How could I not care about you? If I didn't care about you, would you have grown up like this?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaomeng's lips twitched slightly. Damn it, the teacher is even better at acting than her!

At this moment, Zhou Huan suddenly noticed that Zhang Lexuan was looking at Xu Xiaomeng with great interest, so he immediately introduced her, "Sister Lexuan, her name is Xu Xiaomeng. She is of the Sun Moon Royal Family. She came to Shrek a few years ago to escape Xu Tianran's pursuit. She wouldn't listen to her, so he took her in as his Disciple."

Xu Xiaomeng's eyes widened immediately, staring blankly at her teacher. "..."

This... this just revealed her entire background? Without even a moment's hesitation?

Although she could tell at a glance that the "Sister Zhang" Bubble was talking about definitely had a close relationship with her teacher, or at least they were a couple, otherwise why would they be holding hands and strolling around campus? But, teacher, you, you're being too cowardly.

I'm just one of your Disciple, do you really need to distance yourself from me so quickly?

Seemingly noticing the shift in Xu Xiaomeng's expression—from blankness to shock, then to disdain— Zhou Huan gave her a death stare. What a joke! Do you think I'm a coward?

That's called high emotional intelligence; it means knowing how to maintain a harmonious marital relationship. Misunderstandings are completely unnecessary; isn't a sweet romance wonderful?

Do you expect me to write ten chapters just for one misunderstanding?

That would get me roasted by the audience.

Besides, how could a single guy like you possibly understand my way of getting along as a couple?

And you even looked down on me, haha!

So, after giving Xu Xiaomeng a disdainful look, Zhou Huan took Zhang Lexuan's hand and continued, "Xiaomeng, this is my wife, your master's wife, Zhang Lexuan, who is also... well, the highest-ranking person in Shrek."

Hearing this, Zhang Lexuan rolled her eyes at her husband, annoyed. "What do you mean by 'highest authority'? You're making it sound like our academy is some kind of club. Besides, Xiaotao is the current head of the academy."

Xu Xiaomeng was immediately shocked. She was already her teacher's wife? Oh my god, she had been careless. She thought she was just his girlfriend.

However, Xu Xiaomeng reacted very quickly, immediately flattering him, "Hello, Teacher's wife. No wonder I've never seen any other girl by Teacher's side since I met him. It turns out that Teacher's wife is so beautiful. Only Teacher's wife can be considered a perfect match for Teacher."

Zhou Huan: "..." When it comes to flattery, you're definitely a Titled Douluo- level expert.

Zhang Lexuan was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, but she quickly regained her "Senior Disciple Sister" demeanor, speaking gently while maintaining her due authority, "I like children like you who speak the truth."

Xu Xiaomeng, Bai Paopao, and Zhou Huan: "..."

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Xu Xiaomeng gave an awkward laugh and said, "Well then, teacher, teacher's wife, we won't disturb your stroll around the campus any longer. We have something to do, so we'll head back to the Inner Court first."

After saying that, she quickly left with Bai Paopao, who still wanted to chat with Zhang Lexuan.

Zhou Huan was speechless. This first Disciple's performance today was really terrible, not up to her usual standard.

However, before Zhou Huan could think further, his right hand was suddenly squeezed hard, and then he saw his wife staring at him calmly, saying softly with a smile, "You're not allowed to take on any more Disciple from now on."

Hiss--

Zhou Huan shivered instantly.

Is she that jealous? This isn't the Senior Disciple Sister she knows!

Or is it that all girls become like this after marriage, even a fairy like Senior Disciple Sister is no exception?

Seeing Zhou Huan staring blankly, Zhang Lexuan suddenly called out in a coquettish tone, "Honey, don't you want to?"

Hiss--

Zhou Huan immediately snapped back to reality and quickly said, "Don't even mention Disciple, I won't accept any more male Disciple either."

Sure enough, he had a big misunderstanding about the books his wife had read before; he was careless. But, it seems he kind of liked them, after all, the sound effects were fantastic.

Zhang Lexuan smiled with satisfaction after hearing this and continued, "You can still take on male Disciple. I'm not some domineering wife, right, honey?"

Good heavens--

Zhou Huan's heart skipped a beat, and he almost blurted out, "Wife, quickly stop your magic. I might not be able to resist such taunting words."
