Plans to Leave the Academy

The wind died down and the clouds dispersed; the violent lightning was not long-lasting, and after only a few hours, it was completely drained.

Wu Yong opened his eyes, and silver electric arcs a foot long flickered within his pupils.

This is not what I wanted.

Closing his eyes, Wu Yong silently adapted to the soul power that had been tempered by the lightning.

That outward leakage of energy looked cool, but in reality, it was a sign that he was struggling to control his suddenly surging power.

Several days later, Wu Yong opened his eyes again. This time, there were no flickering electric arcs, only a faint, almost imperceptible glimmer that flashed through his pupils before vanishing.

Wu Yong understood the principle that too much of a good thing is bad, so he temporarily halted his lightning soul-tempering practice and returned to the Inner Academy to quietly cultivate his Dou Qi, striving to break through to a nine-star Dou Huang and ascend to Dou Zong as soon as possible.

Returning to the small building, Wu Yong saw Little Fairy and Zi Yan sitting on the sofa, cracking melon seeds.

"Boss!"

"A-Yong, you're back so soon. Did your training go smoothly?"

"Mm, it went quite well. What are you two doing?"

Wu Yong was somewhat surprised; logically speaking, shouldn't they be in seclusion inside the Tianfen Qi Refining Tower at this time?

Why did they look so exceptionally relaxed?

"The old man kicked us out and said he wouldn't let us back in..."

"Huh?"

Listening to Zi Yan's account, Wu Yong felt as if the Great Elder had been possessed.

Then, he looked at Little Fairy, who had a strange expression on her face.

"The Great Elder gave us each a Di-tier Dou Technique as compensation for vacating our training rooms. They were of no use to us anyway, so it was better to trade them for a Di-tier Dou Technique."

As she spoke, Little Fairy Doctor took out a black-purple scroll, which was also a mid-tier Di-tier Dou Technique.

Wu Yong nodded; that was more like it. It fit the Great Elder's style perfectly. It seemed the Great Elder hadn't been possessed after all.

"Furthermore, the Great Elder allowed us to exchange Fire Energy for some high-grade medicinal herbs stored in the Inner Academy's pharmacy."

As soon as she finished speaking, Zi Yan's expression changed from aggrieved to smug.

"Hehehe, Boss..."

"I see. In that case, just hand all your cards over to me. I believe that with Zi Yan's judgment, she will definitely be able to spend this Fire Energy where it belongs, right?"

"That's right! Leave this to me, Boss. There definitely won't be any problems!"

Zi Yan proudly puffed out her flat chest and took the Crystal Cards from Wu Yong and Little Fairy Doctor. Between the two cards, there was a full seven-figure sum of Fire Energy...

Zi Yan went off to shop, leaving Wu Yong and Little Fairy Doctor alone in the room.

"Muamuamua..."

After kissing for a long while, their lips finally parted.

Wu Yong pulled Little Fairy Doctor into his arms, wrapping his hands around her slender, willow-like waist that could barely be held in one hand, and buried his head in her impressive chest, inhaling her faint fragrance.

Little Fairy Doctor gently stroked Wu Yong's back, feeling the heat radiating from his chest.

"Little Fairy, we should find a place to settle down. Do you have any thoughts on where we should live?"

Wu Yong suddenly lifted his head and reached out to tuck away some loose strands of hair from her cheek.

Little Fairy Doctor blinked, understanding what Wu Yong meant.

With their current cultivation levels, they were no longer very dependent on the external environment, unless it was an extremely harsh one.

But regardless, they could no longer gain any further improvement within the academy.

The fact that the Great Elder gave them those Dou Techniques meant as much; the academy's help was now very limited, and their very presence was a source of immense pressure for the students who had been left far behind by them.

In other words, it was time for them to leave the academy and consider their next destination.

More importantly, with Wu Yong's outrageous combat power, they wouldn't be in any danger even after leaving the academy. The only ones in danger would be the unlucky fools who dared to target them, so the biggest issue of safety was no longer a problem.

Furthermore, while they were in the academy, it was difficult for them to do certain things as a young couple.

Even though Wu Yong was certain no one could perceive them, he didn't like doing those things inside the academy.

"I plan to settle down in the Northwest Continent for a few years first. With my cultivation speed, I am confident I can break through to Dou Zun within five years."

"By then, we can head to the Central Plains. Whatever we decide to do, it will be much more convenient than being a few Dou Huangs."

Without any cultivation bottlenecks and no pressing reason to leave, Wu Yong was naturally in no rush to head to the Central Plains.

Better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.

His past experiences in the Black-Corner Region made Wu Yong dislike playing the role of the weak in any environment.

"Only five years?"

Little Fairy Doctor felt it was a bit short; she wanted to spend more time alone with A-Yong.

"You're such a silly Little Fairy. I only stated a minimum timeframe. If you like, we can live together for ten thousand years and it wouldn't be a problem!"

Wu Yong laughed and pulled Little Fairy Doctor into his arms, whispering softly into her ear: "I just wonder, how many children will we have by then?"

"As many as you want to have, Wu Yong..."

Little Fairy Doctor's face flushed red, her voice as soft as a mosquito's hum. The lingering sensation from just a moment ago made her feel the intensity of Wu Yong's love for her.

At this moment, her mind was filled with images of the two of them living shamelessly together, sleeping side by side; how could she possibly have the heart to think about their living environment?

Suppressing that urge with great willpower, Wu Yong began to share some of his thoughts regarding where the two of them would live.

"I want to live by the sea. I've heard the ocean is beautiful, and I want to go see it. Also, Little Fairy, do you remember that valley where the Library Pavilion is located?"

"The valley?"

Little Fairy Doctor thought for a moment and quickly recalled the valley where the Vice Dean had taken the top five students from each Inner Academy Selection Tournament.

Looking back on it now, that valley was indeed very beautiful, especially under the sunlight, as if it were shrouded in an exceptionally leisurely atmosphere.

"Mm, I remember it now. Are you planning to take over that valley, Wu Yong?"

"..."

Wu Yong twitched the corner of his mouth and reached out to rub Little Fairy Doctor's face: "In your eyes, am I the kind of idiot who only dares to bully his own people and act tough at home?"

For Canaan Academy, Wu Yong held a very special sentiment. It was the first place that made him feel secure, a place of peace that never threatened his life.

This was a place worth remembering. Not only would Wu Yong never do anything to harm this academy, but he would also ensure that it continued to exist.

Little Fairy Doctor stuck out her tongue in embarrassment and chuckled: "Hehe~ So, Wu Yong, you mean you want to find a similar valley by the sea?"

"Mm, that is exactly my thought, which is why I also want to hear your ideas on where we should live, Little Fairy. If we can't find a suitable one, we can always do it ourselves and modify the environment according to our own wishes."

There is a saying: the strong change the environment, while the weak adapt to it.

Little Fairy Doctor understood Wu Yong's intent, and as the surge of passion slowly receded, she thought of that valley within the Magic Beast Mountain Range.

"I want a valley similar to the one in the Magic Beast Mountain Range. Do you still remember it, Wu Yong?"

"Of course I remember. That is the place where you and I fell in love, and I will never, ever forget it!"
