Return, Mu Jin Successfully Joins the Endless Fire Territory

Immediately after.

Mu Jin exhaled and asked, "What is the name of your academy? Also, since you don't have any students yet, why are you scouting teachers so early, and why did you choose me specifically?"

As she said this, Mu Jin stared intently at Huo Yuhao and asked again, "And one last question: why did you happen to appear exactly when I was in danger?"

Huo Yuhao replied, "Teacher Mu, my academy is called Jia Nan Academy."

"As for why I chose you."

Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth; he couldn't exactly say it was for a system mission, so he decided to bluff his way through it.

"Teacher Mu, I felt a connection the moment I first saw you. Perhaps it was simply fate."

Huo Yuhao paused for a moment, a look of nonchalance appearing on his face as he continued.

"Of course, if you are unwilling, I can go find Teacher Zhou. She has already agreed to join the academy."

"However, I wanted to ask for your opinion first. Since I approached you first, if you truly don't want to, I will have to make other arrangements..."

"Fine, I agree." Mu Jin didn't wait for Huo Yuhao to finish his sentence before agreeing.

Hearing that Teacher Zhou had already agreed, Mu Jin's competitive nature as a rival kicked in, and she subconsciously didn't want to fall behind.

In her view, between rivals, there was no need for too many reasons.

Huo Yuhao breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this; using a rival to provoke the other party seemed to be exceptionally effective.

Mu Jin then continued, "Then why did you happen to appear here to save me?"

Huo Yuhao didn't hesitate for long and said, "I intended to go to school this morning, but I ran into you on the way."

Huo Yuhao paused slightly, then shifted his tone: "Of course, I didn't intend to follow you at first, but I noticed that the student you were with kept staring at your backside."

"He had such a lecherous look, so I felt you might be in danger. Besides, as students of Shrek Academy, we must have a sense of universal love; we must be united and friendly, right?"

"Therefore, my sincere heart wouldn't allow you to encounter any accidents. I took the morning off to keep an eye on your situation, and I didn't expect that something would actually happen, so I stepped in to help."

Hearing Huo Yuhao's words, the corners of Mu Jin's mouth twitched imperceptibly.

Huo Yuhao changed the subject and continued, "Also, Teacher Mu."

"Don't dwell on why I happened to run into you; perhaps it really is just fate."

"Regardless, I have no ill intentions toward you. I didn't summon that giant ape, and I saved your life, so please don't mistake me for someone with ulterior motives."

Mu Jin took a deep breath and said, "I am not as narrow-minded as you think."

Immediately after.

Mu Jin spoke readily, "Fine, I agree. From now on, I am a teacher at Jia Nan Academy."

Huo Yuhao finally breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

At the same time, the system's voice rang out.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining 30,000 points.]

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining a two-level increase in soul power.]

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the essence blood of the Amethyst Winged Lion King.]

Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up involuntarily when he heard the system's voice.

At the same time, Huo Yuhao could feel that inside his system space, there was indeed a jade bottle made of unknown material.

Inside the bottle was, naturally, the essence blood of the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

The points were deposited directly into the system operation panel, bringing his total to over 81,000 points.

In truth, he had many more points before, but he had spent quite a few to upgrade Liu Erlong.

Considering Mu Jin was right beside him, a sudden two-level jump in soul power would be far too conspicuous.

Therefore, Huo Yuhao decided to put the soul power upgrade on hold for now.

Mu Jin looked at the joy on Huo Yuhao's face with confusion in her eyes.

"Hey, Huo Yuhao, what's wrong with you?"

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao pulled himself together: "Nothing, I just thought of something happy."

Mu Jin thought for a moment and then waved her hand: "I need to return to the academy now. My body is still weak, and I need to recover properly."

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao thought for a moment, and a small bottle of diluted Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid suddenly appeared in his hand.

"Teacher Mu, take this. It should be a great help for your physical recovery."

Mu Jin reached out to take it and slowly pulled out the stopper.

In an instant.

A wave of extremely pure medicinal power rushed toward her. It was a unique medicinal power she had never encountered before, and she couldn't help but blurt out, "Top-grade, this is absolutely top-grade."

Mu Jin could even feel that if she fully absorbed this medicinal power, it would have a significant effect on repairing the foundation damage caused by the forbidden drugs she had taken previously. She looked at Huo Yuhao in surprise.

"Hey, you're just giving this to me?"

Huo Yuhao nodded, "What else?"

Mu Jin took a deep breath. "This is a good item, and it's the kind of good item that money can't buy."

Huo Yuhao replied as a matter of course, "Exactly. Even though it's a good item, haven't you already joined my Jia Nan Academy? Naturally, I have to help out; we're all on the same side now."

There had been some complex emotions in Mu Jin's eyes, but after a moment, she shook her head. "You really are just a little brat."

The corner of Huo Yuhao's mouth twitched. "Teacher Mu, calling me a little brat like that... isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

Mu Jin looked at Huo Yuhao. "What, you don't like being called a little brat?"

Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and secretly decided not to bicker with Mu Jin anymore, choosing to assume she was just acting abnormally due to emotional setbacks, early menopause, or hormonal imbalances.

After saying those words, Mu Jin put the jade bottle away and looked at Huo Yuhao again, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

A moment later, she smiled.

"Huo Yuhao, you're quite impressive. I've noted this favor, and I've noted Jia Nan Academy as well."

As Mu Jin spoke, her gaze was earnest.

Huo Yuhao nodded again.

Shortly after, Mu Jin indicated that she needed to return to the academy.

As for Huo Yuhao, he headed back to his own place to rest; he first needed to go into seclusion to raise his soul power.

As for the essence blood of the Amethyst Winged Lion King, it was even more precious than the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid, so he decided to raise his soul power first.

This way, his physical strength would naturally be higher, preventing any accidents from occurring.

When Mu Jin heard that Huo Yuhao was not returning to Shrek Academy, she thought for a moment and nodded.

Before long, Huo Yuhao and Mu Jin arrived at a fork in the road.

One path at this junction led to Shrek Academy, while the other led to Shrek City.

At this moment, Mu Jin looked at Huo Yuhao and said, "Huo Yuhao, once your academy is built, I will come over."

"If you ever need anything at the academy in the future, just come to me. Zhou Yi can be a bit unreasonable at times, so you can talk to me instead."

As Mu Jin spoke, her gaze was very serious.

Huo Yuhao nodded with a smile, and then, as if he had thought of something, he spoke...
