The next morning, after the Shui Bing'er sisters got up, they went to the academy dining hall to bring breakfast back, only to find that Ye Liangchen was actually still fast asleep.

"Little Chen really can sleep. Yesterday he slept from noon until dark, and not long after dinner he went to sleep again. He still hasn't gotten up even now." Shui Yue'er shook her head.

"He's only four! Of course he needs to sleep longer." Shui Bing'er smiled.

"Sis, it's not like the two of us are much older than six."

"This little guy usually gets up at the same time as us. Today is a little different. Let's go take a look."

The two sisters didn't know that Ye Liangchen had practiced the Five Elements Divine Fist late into the night, only going to sleep when dawn was almost breaking. Right now, he was sleeping soundly!

Opening the door to Ye Liangchen's room, the two sisters tiptoed over to the bedside. Looking at the little guy sleeping so quietly, and at his adorable little face, the sisters reached out and pinched his cheeks this way and that, unable to let go.

"You sleepyhead, hurry up and get up for breakfast." Shui Yue'er pinched Ye Liangchen's pretty little nose and leaned close to his ear to call out.

"Big sisters, is it daylight?"

Ye Liangchen, who had been sleeping soundly, had no choice but to wake up helplessly after the two sisters fussed over him like this.

"It's been daylight for ages. Hurry up and eat breakfast. It won't taste good once it gets cold."

Shui Bing'er pulled the little guy up and pushed him off to wash up.

He had barely slept at all last night and was dragged up by the two girls. He was far too sleepy. Ye Liangchen ate breakfast while yawning, looking rather comical.

"Little Chen, what's wrong with you?"

When Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er saw the little guy's eyelids fighting while he ate breakfast, they worried he was sick, so they reached out and touched his forehead, only to find that he wasn't feverish.

"Big sisters, I'm fine."

"You two hurry and eat! Class is about to start, or you'll be late."

Ye Liangchen couldn't tell them that he had barely slept all night because he had been practicing fist techniques, so he could only force himself to perk up and quickly wipe out the food in his lunchbox.

"Big sisters, I'm going out to play first."

A few minutes later, after Ye Liangchen finished breakfast, he said this to the two sisters, then walked out of the house and headed toward a lake in the distance to enjoy the morning sunlight.

"Little Chen, if you feel uncomfortable anywhere, you have to tell us," the Shui Bing'er sisters shouted from behind him.

"I know. You two hurry and go to class!"

Ye Liangchen waved at them. As he walked, he looked at the beautiful girls of various ages in the academy plaza. And frankly, after looking at beautiful girls for a while, he immediately felt much more energized.

Sure enough! Looking at beautiful girls really could put a person in a good mood.

"Little Chen..."

Along the way, many beautiful girls greeted Ye Liangchen. Some beauties from the advanced classes even kissed him on the cheek. As for this sort of thing, Ye Liangchen couldn't resist either and could only let them do as they pleased.

"Good morning, big sisters!"

While greeting these beauties, Ye Liangchen headed toward the Purple Bamboo Courtyard deep within the academy.

The Purple Bamboo Courtyard was where the former old dean lived. She was also Shui Bing'er's grandmother, named Shui Lingfeng, over seventy years old, with strength at rank 83 Soul Douluo. The rule that Skywater Academy only accepted beautiful girls had been established by her. She was an old woman with a very strange temper.

However, this old dean doted on Ye Liangchen very much, completely treating him like her own grandson. Ye Liangchen also often went to the Purple Bamboo Courtyard to play and keep the old woman company with some conversation.

As it happened, she had also gone out recently, helping those advanced-class students hunt Soul Beasts together with Lan Xiao Die and the others.

Ye Liangchen planned to cultivate at the Purple Bamboo Courtyard for a while. That way, no one would be able to discover his secret.

Just as Ye Liangchen was quickly running forward, he suddenly seemed to crash into something extremely springy at a corner. He was bounced three meters away at once and fell to the ground.

"Ouch..."

Ye Liangchen felt as if he was about to fall apart. He struggled up from the ground and rubbed his butt. This fall had really done a number on him. His hands and feet were bruised, and a tiny bit of skin had been scraped off, but there was no heavy bleeding, so it wasn't a big problem.

Fortunately, he had taken the Foundation Establishment Pill before and had also practiced the Primordial Chaos Sutra, making his physical body much stronger. Otherwise, after a fall like this, he simply wouldn't have been able to get up.

"Little Chen, are you all right?"

"Quick, let me see. Did you hurt anywhere?"

"Heavens! You fell like this. It's all Teacher's fault. Teacher will take you to the Infirmary right away."

Just then, a long-legged beauty wearing a tight blue dress hurried over to Ye Liangchen's side and pulled him into her arms. She felt him all over, and even used Soul Power to gently massage the bruises on the little guy's body, preparing to take him to treat his injuries.

At this moment, this beauty thought, This little guy is Dean Lan Xiao Die's Inverse Scale. If I hurt him by bumping into him, the dean will definitely cut me down.

"Teacher Su Lin, how is it you?"

Ye Liangchen saw that the beauty treating his injuries was actually Su Lin, Shui Bing'er and the others' homeroom teacher.

Su Lin was a thirty-eight-year-old beauty, a rank 69 assault-system Soul Emperor. Her Martial Soul was a White Porpoise. She was beautiful, with fair skin, willow-leaf brows, a cherry mouth, an oval face, and alluring red lips that revealed a seductive air. Her lovely eyes carried a blue radiance that made anyone who looked at her feel their eyes light up.

At this moment, she wore a tight blue dress on her upper body, and water-blue stockings covered her long, slender legs, fully displaying her curvaceous and exquisite body.

Ahem! Look not at what is improper! Look not at what is improper!

"You little guy, why were you rushing around in such a hurry? Where were you going?"

"You didn't even watch the road and crashed right into me. That fall hurt, didn't it?"

"Teacher will take you to treat your injuries first."

Su Lin held the little guy's soft, adorable little body tightly, her heart aching terribly. She continued using Soul Power to massage the bruises on his body. Fortunately, the little guy had not injured his tendons or bones, making her let out a long sigh of relief.

"Teacher Su Lin, there's no need to go to the infirmary. I'm fine."

Ye Liangchen refused to go to the infirmary. This little injury was nothing worth mentioning, so he tried to struggle out of Su Lin's arms—but she was a high-level Soul Emperor, and there was no breaking free from her embrace.

"Little Chen is already four. In another two years, you'll be able to awaken your Martial Soul. When the time comes, I'll personally teach you how to cultivate."

Su Lin thought to herself that this little fellow was the child of Ye Feng and Liu Ru Yan. That couple's talent had been so good; their child definitely would not be lacking. If she trained this little fellow into someone outstanding, it would certainly feel extremely fulfilling.

Ye Feng, oh Ye Feng! Back then, I lost to Liu Ru Yan, and I was convinced by my defeat. Now your son has fallen into my hands, I'll definitely train him well. Perhaps some unexpected surprise might happen in the future!

Su Lin let her thoughts wander crookedly, though all she could do was think about it. If she really dared do such a thing, the Lan Xiao Die sisters would definitely cut her down.

"Teacher Su Lin, I'm a boy. After I awaken my Martial Soul, the academy probably won't let me cultivate here, right?" Ye Liangchen thought. Lan Xiao Die probably would not break the academy's rules for his sake.

"Little Chen, you're overthinking it. You're the Dean's precious darling. There's no way she'd send you to some outside Soul Master Academy. Besides, your Dean Grandma dotes on you so much—she wouldn't bear to let you leave."

Su Lin pinched the little fellow's adorable cheek and smiled with all kinds of charm. She also knew that Lan Xiao Die and Liu Ru Yan had once had an agreement. As for the purpose behind it, it went without saying.

"Teacher Su Lin, hurry and go teach! I'm going over there to play."

After Su Lin treated Ye Liangchen's injuries for a while, they no longer hurt much, so he quickly urged Su Lin to go to class.

Although being held by a great beauty was very comfortable, he was currently only a four-year-old child and could not do anything.

"Mwah..."

"All right, then! Little Chen, be careful!"

"When Teacher has free time tonight, I'll come see you again."

Seeing that nothing was seriously wrong with Ye Liangchen, Su Lin affectionately kissed him on the cheek, then stepped out with her pair of long, beautiful legs, using Mysterious Steps as she swayed gracefully toward the distant elementary teaching area.

Hiss! I wonder if everyone else could withstand this? In any case, I couldn't!

Being kissed over and over by these beauties early in the morning—especially by a mature, top-tier beauty like Su Lin—was lethally powerful, leaving Ye Liangchen very helpless. I'm still only a four-year-old child! Why must I suffer such a terrible ordeal?

Ye Liangchen shook his head helplessly, wiped the Lip Print from his face, and quickly headed deep into the woods toward Purple Bamboo Courtyard.

Purple Bamboo Courtyard was located on a small mountain in the deepest part of the academy, about three kilometers away from the teaching area. Purple bamboo grew all over the place, personally planted by the old Dean. It was extremely quiet and secluded, with no one usually coming to disturb it, making it very suitable for peaceful cultivation.

Skywater Academy was built against the mountains and beside the water, occupying a vast area. Besides the Teaching Building, cafeteria, dance hall, office building, dormitory area, and Plaza, it also had several lakes, small forests, gardens, mimicry cultivation areas, and so on.

The entire Skywater Academy covered at least a dozen square kilometers or so. Rather than calling it an academy, it was more like a small city.

Ye Liangchen spent about an hour before finally running to this small courtyard. He opened the bamboo gate, walked into the bamboo house inside the courtyard, lay down on a rocking chair, and felt the tranquility of the little courtyard. His mood was extremely comfortable.

"Now no one will disturb me. I can finally cultivate in peace."

Ye Liangchen sat cross-legged on the bamboo floor and began cultivating the Primordial Chaos Sutra, striving to reach the minimum requirement of Innate Full Soul Power by the time he awakened his Martial Soul.

He sat cross-legged and calmed his mind, loose, still, and natural.

His lips and teeth lightly closed, his breathing slow and gentle...

As spiritual energy slowly flowed into his body and continuously circulated through his meridians, Ye Liangchen immediately felt refreshed and clear-headed, all drowsiness gone.

After four hours, Ye Liangchen ended his cultivation. After resting for fifteen minutes, he began practicing the Five Elements Divine Fist again.

"Whoosh, whoosh..."

As he gradually grew familiar with it, his movements also became smooth and connected. After completing a full set, his strikes carried a fierce, vigorous momentum, and Ye Liangchen felt he was more or less like those little monks practicing martial arts in movies.

At the same time, in the distant elementary teaching area, the beautiful teacher Su Lin was on the field, guiding Shui Bing'er, Xue Wu, and the others through Soul Fight practice.

"Buzz, buzz..."

Just then, an aura burst from Shui Yue'er's body. Her soul power had broken through to rank ten, drawing cries of surprise from all the girls.

"Yue'er's soul power broke through to rank 10! That's wonderful."

Su Lin came to Shui Yue'er's side and used her soul power to examine Shui Yue'er's body. She discovered that this girl's soul power was incomparably rich and her foundation was solid, which filled her with pleasant surprise.

"Yue'er, not bad at all!"

Seeing her student's strength improve, Su Lin, as her teacher, felt very gratified.

"It's all because Teacher taught me well." Shui Yue'er smiled modestly.

"Buzz..."

Shui Bing'er's soul power also broke through to rank 13 at that moment, making all the girls even more pleasantly surprised.

"Heavens! You two sisters have given me such a huge surprise today."

Su Lin excitedly pulled the Shui Bing'er sisters into her arms and kissed both sisters hard on the cheeks several times, feeling extremely happy.

"Bing'er, Yue'er, congratulations!"

Xue Wu, Yu Hairou, and the others gathered around the Shui Bing'er sisters and cheered. Seeing their sisters' strength improve, they were very happy too.

"Thank you!"

The Shui Bing'er sisters gave everyone a sweet smile. The two girls were also dumbfounded. According to their own estimates, it should have taken at least another two months or so for them to break through. They had not expected happiness to come so quickly.

"Since Yue'er has already broken through to rank ten, we need to find a soul ring for her."

Su Lin stroked Shui Yue'er's little head and thought to herself that this matter would still have to wait until the Dean and the others returned. After all, this little girl was also the daughter of the academy's vice dean, Lan Xiao Ling.

Time quickly reached the noon mealtime. The Shui Bing'er sisters came to the patch of woods where Ye Liangchen often slept and discovered that the little fellow was actually not there.

"Where did Little Chen go?"

The two sisters searched everywhere, but there was no sign of him. They went back to their mother's place, but still found no trace of him, which made them terribly anxious.

"Have you seen Little Chen?" The sisters anxiously asked the other students about Ye Liangchen's whereabouts.

"I think we saw him running toward Granny Dean's Purple Bamboo Courtyard this morning. He should be there."

Just then, several senior-class students told Shui Bing'er what had happened.

"How did that little guy end up at Grandmother's place? That's three thousand meters from the teaching area!"

Shui Bing'er was instantly caught between laughter and tears. She picked up three boxed lunches from the cafeteria, then ran toward Purple Bamboo Courtyard with Shui Yue'er.

Both of them were Soul Masters now and had excellent physical fitness. Before long, the two sisters arrived at Purple Bamboo Courtyard in a rush, covered in dust from the journey. They pushed open the bamboo gate and saw Ye Liangchen sitting cross-legged on the ground, deep in thought, cultivating in quite a convincing manner.

"Little Chen, how did you get here?" Shui Yue'er stepped forward and pulled Ye Liangchen up.

"I'm learning how to cultivate! I usually see you sisters cultivating, and it looks pretty fun, so I wanted to try too."

When Ye Liangchen saw Shui Bing'er carrying three lunch boxes, he suddenly remembered that it was already noon.

"You little dummy, you haven't even awakened your martial soul yet. How can you cultivate? You can only cultivate after awakening your martial soul."

Shui Bing'er rubbed Ye Liangchen's little head and taught him some basic Soul Master knowledge.

"You can't cultivate without awakening your martial soul?"

Ye Liangchen blinked his beautiful big eyes and pretended to be very curious. He wasn't cultivating a martial soul anyway, only practicing the Primordial Chaos Sutra.

Shui Yue'er smiled sweetly. "Sis! I think Little Chen likes peace and quiet. The academy is full of girls, and he feels embarrassed, so he ran here to hide."

"Two sisters, teach me how to cultivate. Maybe I'll awaken Innate Full Soul Power two years from now." In order not to arouse suspicion, Ye Liangchen deliberately asked the two girls to teach him the Meditation Cultivation Method.

"Innate Full Soul Power? It's not that easy. Eat first! We'll teach you afterward."

Shui Bing'er smiled sweetly, placed the food on the table, and pulled Ye Liangchen over to wash his hands. When she saw the wounds on the little guy's hands, she was instantly startled.

"Little Chen, how did you get hurt?"

"Sis! Look, Little Chen scraped the skin on his foot too."

Shui Yue'er had sharp eyes. When she saw a scar on Ye Liangchen's ankle, her heart ached terribly.

"Two sisters, I'm fine."

Ye Liangchen shook his head. This little injury was nothing worth mentioning to him. Several hours had already passed, and the wound had scabbed over. If they had come a little later, it might have healed already.

"Tell me quickly, what happened with your injury?" Shui Bing'er asked with a worried expression.

"It's really nothing. I just accidentally fell."

"Let's hurry up and eat!"

Ye Liangchen waved his fist, indicating that he was fine. But he couldn't say he had been sent flying and injured by a beautiful teacher, so he could only use eating to change the subject.

Seeing Ye Liangchen wolfing down his food, the Shui Bing'er sisters finally relaxed and started eating too.

"Little Chen, let me tell you some good news. My soul power has already broken through to level 10, and Sis has broken through to level 13 too."

Shui Yue'er ate while sharing the good news with Ye Liangchen.

"Wow! That's amazing! Congratulations, you two." Ye Liangchen said excitedly.

It seemed the Foundation Establishment Pill's effects were pretty good. In a single night, it had helped the two little girls break through their bottlenecks. Later, once he got the Immortal Herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and let their martial souls evolve, they would soar to the skies from then on.

"Little Chen, this is the Meditation Cultivation Method. Remember it!"

"Remember to go home this afternoon."

After Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er finished lunch, they taught Ye Liangchen the Meditation Cultivation Method, then prepared to return to school. They still had classes in the afternoon, and before leaving, they reminded Ye Liangchen to remember to go home.

"Got it, two sisters. Hurry and go to class!"

Ye Liangchen waved at the two girls, then strolled around Purple Bamboo Courtyard. He had just finished eating and needed to digest.

At dusk, the beautiful Teacher Su Lin came to the Dean's office building. Seeing the three adorable little ones quietly eating dinner, Su Lin's heart instantly melted from their cuteness.

"Teacher Su Lin, why are you here?" the Shui Bing'er sisters asked in pleasant surprise.

"Bing'er, Yue'er, Teacher came to apologize to you. This morning, Teacher bumped into Little Chen and made him fall, and he even got hurt."

After Su Lin finished speaking, she used Mysterious Steps to walk over to Ye Liangchen, picked him up into her arms, and checked his injuries.

"Little Chen, does it still hurt?"

"Teacher Su Lin, I'm really fine. It doesn't hurt." Ye Liangchen was helpless too. Being held by a beauty like this all the time was seriously too much for him.

"Little Chen, at noon you still told us you fell on your own." The Shui Bing'er sisters stood to the side and blamed the little guy for not telling them the truth.

"Two sisters, it was just a fall. It's very normal. Back when I first learned to walk, I fell all the time too. I'm fine."

Ye Liangchen waved his hand helplessly, feeling there was no need to make such a fuss.

"Little Chen, Teacher is so touched by you."

This little guy was only four years old, yet he had taken the responsibility onto himself. It moved Su Lin, this thirty-eight-year-old older unmarried woman, into a complete mess, and she kissed him hard several times on the face.

"Come on, let me feed you."

Su Lin picked up the lunchbox on the table, then fed the little guy spoonful by spoonful.

"Teacher Su Lin, I can eat by myself."

Although being fed by a beautiful woman felt amazing, as a man who had risen above such base pleasures, Ye Liangchen felt very uncomfortable.

"Be good! Do as I say."

Su Lin's maternal instincts overflowed and spiraled completely out of control. She had no intention of letting Ye Liangchen leave her arms. The little guy had lost his parents when he was only three months old; he was terribly pitiful. From now on, she would care for him even more and let him feel a mother's love.

Since he couldn't resist, he might as well enjoy it!

Ye Liangchen thought to himself that the Time-Space Administration really knew what it was doing, arranging for him to be at Skywater Academy, a place full of beautiful women. Xiao San next door wasn't getting such nice treatment. While he was enjoying being fed by a beauty, Xiao San could only drink porridge and eat pickles with the unreliable Tang Hao.
