Zhu Zhu Qing was thrilled that Lan Xiao Die had so readily agreed to let her join the academy.

"Thank you, Dean."

Zhu Zhu Qing revealed her origins in the Star Luo Zhu Family and told them about what had happened to her. She had come here seeking help, so there was no need to hide anything.

"Meow—!"

"My martial soul..."

Zhu Zhu Qing summoned her martial soul and even released her External Soul Bone. Since these people were all Ye Liangchen's elders, she had no intention of concealing anything. She also introduced her spirit rings and spirit skills to everyone.

"This girl is quite lucky! She actually obtained an External Soul Bone."

"And this External Soul Bone has fused perfectly with her."

The teachers clicked their tongues in amazement as they looked at the black claws on Zhu Zhu Qing's left hand.

"You brat, you've got some nerve. You actually let this girl absorb a 2,000-year Ghost Leopard spirit ring as her third spirit ring."

Lan Xiao Die sensed Zhu Zhu Qing's physical strength and found it exceptionally powerful. She thought that her brat must have taught the girl the Five Elements Divine Fist.

"Aunt Lan, it was only a 2,000-year Ghost Leopard. If she worked hard enough, she could get through it."

I'd already given Little Cat a boost. Absorbing a 2,000-year spirit ring wasn't a problem at all.

"What do you all think of this girl?"

"Of course we should keep her. It would be such a waste not to nurture such a good seedling."

Lan Xiao Die and her sister exchanged opinions with Mu Qingxue, An Qi, and the others. They felt that taking the girl in would not be a problem.

"Zhu Qing, cultivate at the academy without worry from now on! With our current strength, we can absolutely keep you safe."

"Chirp, chirp..."

Lan Xiao Die directly summoned her martial soul, displaying two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red spirit ring. She was telling the young girl not to worry about the Star Luo Royal Family.

"A... a 100,000 Year Spirit Ring! Dean, you're incredible."

When Zhu Zhu Qing saw Lan Xiao Die's strength as a Titled Douluo, along with that 100,000 Year Spirit Ring, her mouth fell open in shock.

"Zhu Qing, Aunt Lan is now a level 96 Titled Douluo. Even if Star Luo Emperor Dai Tianfeng and Zhu Empress used their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, they'd still have to kneel before Aunt Lan and sing conquest."

"You brat, you learned to boast after just one trip outside."

Seeing Ye Liangchen casually call the Star Luo Emperor by name, Lan Xiao Die grabbed him by the ear and dragged him toward Quiet Leisure Manor.

"Director Mu, take Zhu Qing to complete her enrollment procedures. Arrange for her to stay with Bing Er and the other girls."

Lan Xiao Die directly arranged for Zhu Zhu Qing to enroll. Since the girl liked her brat, she had to be properly nurtured. With her talent, she would surely become a Titled Douluo in the future. It could also be considered gathering talent for the little fellow.

"Rest assured, Dean. We'll take care of everything."

"Zhu Qing, come with me."

Mu Qingxue and An Qi led Zhu Zhu Qing toward the office to handle her enrollment.

"Thank you, teachers."

Zhu Zhu Qing turned back and glanced in Ye Liangchen's direction. Seeing him being tugged by the ears by two elders, looking utterly adorable, she could not help but smile.

Inside a pavilion at Quiet Leisure Manor, the Lan Xiao Die sisters had Ye Liangchen explain where he had been over the past month.

"Tell us, how did you meet that girl?"

Ye Liangchen took a sip of tea, cleared his throat, and slowly said, "I was searching for medicinal herbs in the Border Mountain Range at the border between the Balak Kingdom and the Star Luo Empire. I was roasting meat when I suddenly heard people fighting in the distance. Before long, Zhu Zhu Qing came charging toward me. When I saw how she was dressed, I instinctively called her Little Cat. On top of that, I wasn't wearing a mask at the time, so she recognized me afterward."

"Later, her sister Zhu Zhuyun chased after us with five Soul Masters. Three Soul Kings and two Soul Elders wanted to kill me, so I wiped them out. Zhu Zhuyun fled in fright, and that was how I saved Zhu Zhu Qing."

Ye Liangchen did not mention using a gun to kill his enemies, mainly because he had no way to explain it to them.

"You killed three Soul Kings without exposing your martial soul?"

The Lan Xiao Die sisters were startled. This little fellow was really something.

"Aunt Lan, have you forgotten that I have a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone? The moment I activated its Spirit Bone Skill, I caught them completely off guard. They didn't even have time to react before they all went to heaven."

Ye Liangchen had plenty of trump cards. Killing a few Soul Kings was easy for him.

"We forgot that you still have a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone."

The Lan Xiao Die sisters exchanged smiles. Seeing that the little fellow could now easily kill Soul Kings filled them, as his Dao Protectors, with a great sense of accomplishment.

"What else happened? Hurry up and tell us. Where did you go?"

The sisters dearly wanted to know about Ye Liangchen's experiences over the past month. They had raised him themselves, and he was practically their own son. Seeing that he had become capable of standing on his own in the outside world made them deeply gratified.

Ye Liangchen had no choice but to tell the two elders about his experiences over the past month, including what had happened in Suotuo City. However, he did not mention the Blue Silver Emperor. That matter could not be told to anyone.

"You really are something, kid. Even your ability to make money is terrifying."

When they heard that he had earned 80,000 Gold Soul Coins at the Soto Grand Spirit Arena, the two women were overjoyed.

"By the way, Aunt Lan, Aunt Ling, these are the pills I refined over the past few days. They're called Jade Bloom Pills. They're a little more advanced than the Spirit Power Pills from before. They can restore spirit power and also nourish the skin and improve one's complexion."

Ye Liangchen took out several bottles of Jade Bloom Pills and gave them to the two elders. He had refined them according to the pill formulas in the Pill Compendium, and their effects were exceptionally good.

"Oh! You actually refined such miraculous pills? Then we'd better take a good look."

The two women took the pills, opened the bottles, and inhaled the fragrant medicinal scent, instantly feeling refreshed.

"Sis, this little guy's medical skills are getting more and more impressive. He actually came up with such miraculous pills."

Lan Xiao Ling swallowed one. The pill melted the moment it entered her mouth, and its pure energy nourished every part of her body, making her feel incredibly comfortable.

"It seems letting him study medicine back then was the right choice."

Lan Xiao Die had also taken Spirit Power Pills refined by Ye Liangchen before and had great faith in the little guy's medical skills. He truly was a jack-of-all-trades!

"Aunt Lan, Aunt Ling, I'm going to visit Grandma Dean." After saying that, Ye Liangchen headed straight toward the Purple Bamboo Courtyard.

"Go on! Call Grandma back later so we can have dinner together."

Now that the little guy had returned to the academy, the Lan sisters planned to prepare a lavish dinner to celebrate.

After arriving at the Purple Bamboo Courtyard, Ye Liangchen saw Shui Lingfeng walking out of the bamboo house with a cheerful smile.

"Grandma Dean, I'm back." Ye Liangchen bowed to Shui Lingfeng.

"I was wondering why magpies had been chirping nonstop this morning. Turns out our precious boy has returned. Come here and let Grandma take a look."

"Mm! Not bad. You've grown quite a bit taller, and you're getting more handsome too."

Shui Lingfeng reached out and ruffled Ye Liangchen's hair, looking him over from every angle before pulling him inside the bamboo house to sit down.

"Grandma, it's only been a month. How could there be any change?"

Ye Liangchen felt that this elder of his was being far too dramatic.

"Nothing happened on the way, did it?"

Shui Lingfeng took out some snacks, poured tea, held the little guy's hand, and asked after him with concern.

As usual, Ye Liangchen told Shui Lingfeng about his experiences over the past month. When he mentioned bringing Zhu Zhu Qing into Skywater Academy, Shui Lingfeng froze. She had never expected this little guy to run off with the fiancée of the Star Luo Empire's young prince.

"Do you like that little girl?" Shui Lingfeng asked with a smile.

"Grandma, Zhu Zhu Qing is my friend. She was in trouble, so I gave her a hand."

Ye Liangchen thought to himself, If I didn't like her, I wouldn't have brought her here.

"That girl ran away with you. From now on, you'll be enemies with the Star Luo Empire's imperial family." Shui Lingfeng felt that this little guy was truly audacious. He even dared to abduct the young prince's fiancée.

"Grandma, what's so scary about the Star Luo Empire's imperial family? If they dare cause trouble for me, I'll have Di Tian wipe out the Star Luo Emperor, Dai Tianfeng, and change the dynasty ahead of schedule."

Ye Liangchen was no longer afraid of anyone on Douluo Continent. With the Barrett MK 22, his super weapon, even a Titled Douluo would go down with one shot.

"I know you're capable, but don't go talking about wiping out someone's imperial family at the drop of a hat. You'll scare people to death."

Shui Lingfeng did not know whether to laugh or cry when she heard the little guy casually talk about destroying the Star Luo Empire's imperial family.

"Grandma, these are Jade Bloom Pills I refined outside. They can replenish spirit power and also nourish the skin and enhance beauty. Keep them safe."

Ye Liangchen took out two bottles of Jade Bloom Pills and gave them to Shui Lingfeng. Naturally, he wanted to share good things with his elders.

"Mm, very good. Grandma likes this gift very much."

Shui Lingfeng could tell from the fragrant medicinal scent of the Jade Bloom Pills that they were excellent goods. Especially since the little guy said they could nourish the skin and enhance beauty—she loved that.

On the other side of the academy, after Mu Qingxue and An Qi had finished handling Zhu Zhu Qing's enrollment, they found themselves troubled over her school uniform. Though still so young, the girl's stunning assets eclipsed everyone in the academy, leaving them feeling inferior.

"Zhu Qing's figure is too explosive. Finding a suitable size will be too difficult."

"You have to admit, Little Chen has excellent taste. Look at that girl's incredible figure—even I'm jealous."

Mu Qingxue and Li Suyan were also deeply impressed by Little Cat's figure. Their conversation made Zhu Zhu Qing's face flush bright red.

"Maybe the Ball King's school uniform will fit." At that moment, Li Suyan recalled that Xue Wu's impressive assets were about the same as Zhu Zhu Qing's.

"Who's the Ball King?" Mu Qingxue was stunned. There was actually someone like that in the academy?

"Xue Wu, of course. Yue'er and Yu Hairou call her the Ball King. That girl is quite proud of it too, and she often flaunts her impressive assets in front of everyone."

Li Suyan said with a chuckle. Those girls were each more improper than the last.

"Ah! Those girls really are ridiculous. Zhu Qing, don't mind them."

Mu Qingxue smiled at Zhu Zhu Qing beside her. At that moment, Zhu Zhu Qing also found it amusing. This Skywater Academy was far too interesting.

"Zhu Qing, come try on Ball King Xue Wu's school uniform and see if it fits." Li Suyan took out two sets of school uniforms and had Zhu Zhu Qing try them on.

"Thank you, Teacher."

Taking the light-blue school uniform, Zhu Zhu Qing walked into the changing room, feeling very excited.

Before long, Zhu Zhu Qing emerged in a light-blue school uniform. She was very satisfied with this different kind of outfit.

"Tut, tut, tut...! That's too explosive. If I were a man, I'd definitely marry a beauty like Zhu Qing."

Mu Qingxue and Li Suyan's eyes immediately lit up when they saw Zhu Zhu Qing's outfit.

"Zhu Qing, the women of your Hell Spirit Cat Clan truly are exceptional."

Li Suyan sighed inwardly. Were all the women of the Hell Spirit Cat Clan built so explosively?

"Teacher, ..."

Zhu Zhu Qing's face immediately reddened at Li Suyan's words, but she was quite happy inside. After all, being praised by another beautiful woman was also enjoyable.

"Stop fooling around. Take Zhu Qing to Quiet Leisure Manor and see how the dean plans to arrange things for her."

Zhu Zhu Qing had been brought back by Ye Liangchen, and the two women knew that the girl had already fallen for the little guy. Still, they greatly admired the little guy's taste.
