"Actually, beyond this starry sky, there are other races besides the Yao Clan, such as the Elf Race!"

As he spoke, Luo Yan pointed up at the sky.

"Beyond the continent..."

Luo Yan had just mentioned the stars above them, and Zhu Zhuqing curiously looked up at the sky as well.

But it was still daytime. Apart from endless white clouds, there were no stars in sight.

"Of course. The place we live is, collectively speaking, a planet. There are other planets in the starry sky that can support life!"

"You've heard of the Divine Realm, haven't you, Zhuqing? It's one of them!"

Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing was interested, Luo Yan continued.

What Luo Yan didn't know was that beneath their feet, Xiao Wu was sitting cross-legged on the bed. She wasn't cultivating; instead, she was listening to their conversation through her spiritual power, cheeks puffed out in anger.

"Luo Yan is such a jerk! He knows all this stuff and never told me!"

Xiao Wu pouted, clutching the quilt as she sulked.

But when she thought about how much Luo Yan knew, she felt a little happy. After all, Luo Yan was her man now.

What woman wouldn't want her husband to be talented?

Unfortunately, the thought of Zhu Zhuqing still made Xiao Wu feel a little upset.

Although she had heard about Zhu Zhuqing's life from Luo Yan, Xiao Wu didn't know what kind of person Zhu Zhuqing really was.

On the roof, Luo Yan went on to explain some of the differences between the Yao Clan's cultivation methods and those of Soul Masters.

"Luo Yan, since demonic beasts can follow a path so different from that of Soul Beasts, does that mean humans can cultivate without using a Martial Soul?"

Zhu Zhuqing was very curious about this, her eyes shining.

If there were another cultivation path that could make her stronger faster, she was willing to give up anything!

Especially after this escape, she understood even more clearly how important strength was. In this world, without strength, there was nothing you could do.

Her desire for strength hadn't wavered just because Luo Yan had appeared.

"Haha, Zhuqing, I know you're desperate to become stronger, but I don't have a cultivation method suitable for humans yet!"

"If you want one, you may have to wait a while!"

Luo Yan saw right through Zhu Zhuqing's thoughts.

He truly didn't have a cultivation method for humans. The Myriad Demon Art and the Azure Heaven Dragon Emperor Art were both cultivation methods for the Yao Clan, so they couldn't possibly suit Zhu Zhuqing.

But Luo Yan remembered that once he broke through to Demon Emperor, the system would unlock the shop.

He believed the system shop would have human cultivation methods.

"I see..." Just as expected, Zhu Zhuqing looked a little disappointed at Luo Yan's answer.

Seeing this, Luo Yan ruffled her long black hair and smiled. "Zhuqing, with me here, why are you in such a hurry to get stronger?"

"Take it slow. I can help you with everything else!"

Zhu Zhuqing didn't say anything. She only nodded slightly.

Looking at the silent girl beside him, Luo Yan felt a little helpless. Zhu Zhuqing was wonderful in every way, except that she hardly ever spoke. Every time, it felt like he was talking to himself.

He decided that he'd have to get her to change this habit someday.

"All right, let's head back and rest. We have to leave for Suotuo City tomorrow!"

Luo Yan picked Zhu Zhuqing up again, carried her down from the roof, and returned to the little house.

Inside, Xiao Wu was already pretending to cultivate earnestly, sitting cross-legged on the bed with her eyes closed.

Luo Yan first set the red-faced Zhu Zhuqing down on the bed. Then he went over to Xiao Wu, wrapped his arms around her from behind, and whispered softly in her ear:

"Xiao Wu, how come I never see you cultivating this hard?"

Back on the roof, he had already known Xiao Wu was eavesdropping.

"Hmph!"

Feeling the warmth against her ear, Xiao Wu could no longer keep up the act.

But with Zhu Zhuqing there, Xiao Wu didn't dare get too carried away. She only pinched Luo Yan hard around the waist with both hands.

Xiao Wu's cultivation had reached the early stage of Fifth-Rank Demon King, and she was strong.

Hiss!

Fortunately, Luo Yan's body cultivation had already reached Tier 6 Demon Emperor. Otherwise, he really might not have been able to withstand that attack.

"My fault! Let's get some rest. We're leaving tomorrow!"

Noticing that Xiao Wu was about to keep pinching him, Luo Yan immediately admitted he was wrong.

Then he pulled Xiao Wu into his arms and pressed her down onto the bed to stop her from using her powers again.

"No! Someone else is here!"

Xiao Wu thought Luo Yan was going to feed her a Big Radish in front of Zhu Zhuqing. She quickly pulled her hands back and tried to push him away.

"What are you thinking?"

Luo Yan signaled for her to stay still and go to sleep.

The bed was actually very big. Zhu Zhuqing lay on one side, while Luo Yan and Xiao Wu lay on the other, so there was no problem.

But Zhu Zhuqing could feel everything happening on Luo Yan and Xiao Wu's side.

At first, she also thought Luo Yan and Xiao Wu were about to put on an erotic show for her. She could only bury her head under the quilt.

Her whole face was bright red.

As a result, Luo Yan, with Xiao Wu in his arms, soon fell asleep.

Zhu Zhuqing stayed awake until the middle of the night, when she finally couldn't hold out any longer and drifted off.

Notting Junior Soul Master Academy.

"Xiao San, since your teacher has already arranged what you'll do next, I won't say anything more. Congratulations on graduating from our academy!"

Strong stood in front of Tang San and handed him the diploma.

Strong hadn't died in the battle against Luo Yan back then. He had survived, though badly wounded.

He'd spent more than two years bedridden, but his injuries had long since healed. He was still the dean of Notting Junior Soul Master Academy.

"Dean, thank you for teaching me these past few years!"

Tang San nodded and accepted the diploma.

He was already thinking about getting this over with quickly so he could head to Suotuo City.

"Good lad!" Strong gently patted Tang San on the shoulder.

Tang San had received his diploma that morning. In the afternoon, he hired a carriage at the city gate, climbed aboard, and set off for Suotuo City.

The next morning.

As soon as Luo Yan woke up, he found that, besides Xiao Wu clinging to him as usual, someone was also holding his left arm tightly against her chest.

From the softness against his arm, Luo Yan knew who it was without even turning around.

Sure enough, when he turned his head, he saw Zhu Zhuqing holding his arm with both hands, her legs wrapped around his left leg.

Xiao Wu, meanwhile, was clinging tightly to his right side.

Feeling the two girls wrapped around him so tightly that he couldn't move at all, Luo Yan's face darkened.

It wasn't until noon that Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing slowly woke up.

The moment they both woke, their eyes met, and an awkward atmosphere spread through the room.

In the end, Xiao Wu suddenly grew jealous. She leaned forward, wrapped her arms around Luo Yan's neck, and kissed him hard. Zhu Zhuqing backed down.

By the time the three of them had packed up and left the little house, Zhu Zhuqing's face was still bright red.

She didn't know whether it was because her injuries were gradually improving or because of what had happened that morning.

Xiao Wu, meanwhile, strutted with her head held high like a victorious peacock.

When they reached the lake, Da Ming and Er Ming were already waiting for them.
