As the girl in the white dress spoke,

the blond youth who had previously displayed three Spirit Rings stared at her intently, his gaze wolfish.

Zhu Zhuqing followed the group.

It would soon be her turn for the test.

But just then,

the blond youth with three Spirit Rings looked greedily at her again.

His gaze drew everyone else's attention toward her.

The black-haired youth looked her over appraisingly.

Then, the girl with the scorpion braid beside him pinched him hard.

Zhu Zhuqing's pretty face turned icy.

Her impression of this academy was terrible.

Whether it was the academy itself or its students.

The remaining tests proceeded in an orderly fashion.

Through their conversation, Zhu Zhuqing learned that the black-haired youth was named Tang San, the scorpion-braided girl was called Xiao Wu, and the girl who had drawn the teacher's attention was Ning Rongrong.

As for the blond youth, his name was Dai Mubai.

Zhu Zhuqing's delicate brows furrowed.

She knew who this Dai Mubai was.

I wonder where Li Zhexian has gotten to?

Did he find some fine wine? He must be drinking to his heart's content again.

Dai Mubai's appearance did not stir the slightest ripple in Zhu Zhuqing's heart. She was thinking of that free-spirited, unrestrained White-robed Youth.

If Li Zhexian were by her side right now, she certainly would not be so bored.

The group headed toward the next assessment point.

Zhu Zhuqing walked alone at the very back.

Just then, a fragrant breeze drifted over. The girl in the white dress approached, extended her hand, and smiled.

"Hello, you're Zhu Zhuqing, right?"

"My name is Ning Rongrong. Nice to meet you."

Zhu Zhuqing shook her hand and replied coolly,

"Hello."

Ning Rongrong was a little awkward, but she still smiled as she searched for something to say.

Up ahead, Dai Mubai, Tang San, and Xiao Wu, who had known each other before, were chatting.

Tang San smiled.

"What were you looking at just now?"

"Thinking of preying on another girl again?"

Dai Mubai rubbed his chin, his Evil Eye flickering faintly.

"I feel..."

"Zhu Zhuqing's aura feels very familiar."

Xiao Wu spat.

"What familiar aura? You make being lustful sound so nice!"

A trace of embarrassment appeared on Dai Mubai's face, but he still said confidently,

"Anyway, I've taken a liking to Zhu Zhuqing. No matter what, I'll make her mine!"

They were nearly at the next assessment point.

At that moment,

a soft, languid voice rang out.

"Sausages for sale! Sausages for sale!"

"Don't miss out if you're passing by! Oscar Brand Sausages, five Copper Coins each!"

Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong looked over in confusion and saw a burly man with a full beard and peach-blossom eyes hawking his wares.

Up ahead, Tang San was about to buy sausages for Xiao Wu.

Ning Rongrong asked Zhu Zhuqing,

"Zhuqing, do you want one?"

Zhu Zhuqing shook her head.

"No, thank you."

"Then all right, I won't have any either."

Tang San went to buy sausages.

But Dai Mubai hurriedly stopped him and scolded the bearded man.

"Oscar, you're really disgracing the academy!"

"I've warned you more than once not to sell sausages inside the academy!"

The others were all puzzled.

Dai Mubai continued,

"Don't be fooled by his appearance."

"Hmph, his name is Oscar. He's fourteen years old and also a student of Shrek Academy."

"As for why I won't let you eat his sausages..."

"Oscar, make a fresh sausage."

Oscar looked at the beautiful girls before him, helplessly stretched out his right hand, and said in a coy, lewd manner,

"I've got a big sausage!"

Dai Mubai looked disgusted.

Tang San's expression turned Wrathful.

The sausage was meant for Xiao Wu to eat. That line was far too suggestive.

Xiao Wu looked somewhat confused.

Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong did not understand either.

In the end,

Tang San explained quietly.

Xiao Wu's pretty face instantly flushed crimson.

Ning Rongrong frowned as she glanced at Oscar.

Having received a noble's education since childhood, she found it difficult to imagine that such a lewd Spirit Master could exist.

"Disgusting."

Zhu Zhuqing cursed outright.

This was Shrek Academy, the place that claimed to admit only monsters?

They really were monsters!

Each one more lewd and filthy than the last!

Zhu Zhuqing missed Li Zhexian more and more.

She even wanted to leave Shrek and travel the continent alongside Li Zhexian.

But...

That was the path suited to Li Zhexian. She could not go and disturb him.

She had to become strong on her own. That way, when she reunited with Li Zhexian in the future, she could stand proudly before him with her head held high.

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing lost in thought, Ning Rongrong asked curiously,

"Zhuqing, what are you thinking about?"

Zhu Zhuqing answered directly,

"I'm thinking about a friend."

"Hm?"

Ning Rongrong leaned close to Zhu Zhuqing's pretty face and teased,

"A boy or a gi..."

Before she could finish,

Zhu Zhuqing answered openly,

"A boy."

"Oh~~~~"

Ning Rongrong raised her delicate brows, an ambiguous smile spreading across her cheeks.

But just then,

the aloof silhouette of a White-robed Youth suddenly flashed through her mind.

Ning Rongrong's heart became unsettled.

Why did I think of him?

He and I are no longer people from the same world!

Casting aside the tangled thoughts in her mind,

Ning Rongrong smiled at Zhu Zhuqing.

"Zhuqing, I'm very curious. What kind of Heavenly Pride is this young man who has you so concerned?"

"You have to let me meet him someday."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded.

"Mm."

Heaven Dou City.

Shanxiangfang.

Li Zhexian impatiently picked up the Wine Pot and tipped back a large mouthful.

"Tut, tut..."

He smacked his lips, his swordlike brows knitting slightly.

How should he put it?

It fell a little short.

The Wine was strong enough, but not fragrant enough, and far too cloudy.

Not only was it inferior to his own Wine, it was even worse than Zhu Zhuqing's.

Come to think of it,

Li Zhexian had only learned after parting with Zhu Zhuqing

that her Wine was Daughter Red, a treasured family vintage that had been stored for over a century.

Zhu Zhuqing had drunk the Daughter Red ahead of time to show her resistance to a political marriage.

"Ah..."

Li Zhexian sighed.

The Wine was bad, and even the dishes had lost their flavor.

"Shop Assistant!"

The Shop Assistant hurried over to Li Zhexian.

"What can I do for you, young master?"

"Does the Heaven Dou Imperial City have better Wine than yours?"

"This..."

The Shop Assistant looked troubled.

How could he dare say that his restaurant's Wine was poor?

If it had been anyone else, even some high-ranking noble, he would have rolled his eyes at them in private.

But this young master had given him a Gold Soul Coin!

He looked around.

After making sure no one was paying attention,

the Shop Assistant bent down to wipe the table with the cloth draped over his shoulder and whispered,

"To be honest with you, young master."

"There are quite a few Wines in Heaven Dou City better than Shanxiangfang's, but those are all exclusive offerings for the imperial family."

"This lowly one has heard that the imperial family's finest Wine is called—Yaoguang Brew."

"Legend has it that this Wine is made from Starlight falling upon the mortal world, blended with dew from the tips of grass and trees. That is why it is named—Yaoguang."

"This lowly one also heard the Storyteller say, 'Yaoguang is not Wine, but a verse of poetry leaked from the night sky.'"

When Li Zhexian left Shanxiangfang, he was still muttering, "Yaoguang Brew, Yaoguang Brew."

For a Wine Enthusiast,

knowing there was a wondrous and mystical fine Wine yet being unable to taste it

was simply more unbearable than death.

"An imperial possession..."

"The Shop Assistant even said that Yaoguang Brew within the imperial family was extremely scarce."

"Only three small jars could be produced each year, and they would only be brought out for the annual founding ceremony."

"Ah, I'll take it slowly. Heaven Dou City is beautiful, after all. Staying here for a while won't make this trip wasted."

Next.

Li Zhexian rented a small courtyard.

As he unpacked, the words "Yaoguang was not wine, but a stanza of poetry leaking from the night sky" kept circling through his mind.

He imagined starlight flowing beneath the night curtain, pouring down like water.

And the Azure Lotus Sword soaking in that starlight.

Li Zhexian stood frozen on the spot.

The Azure Lotus Sword Mark on his brow flickered unsteadily.

"The first move of my self-created sword art..."

"I think I have an idea."
