Can I Lean on Your Shoulder?

Kamisato's pretty face flushed slightly. Her pretty face reddened as she said, "If you don't mind, Traveler, you can sleep in the bed with Ayaka."

"You don't mind?" Chen Feng looked at Kamisato and asked.

"If it's Traveler, Ayaka doesn't mind!"

Chen Feng nodded slightly, then walked over to the bed and sat down. Kamisato came to the other side and sat beside him.

At that moment, both of their faces were red.

Kamisato secretly glanced at Chen Feng's back, then lowered her head again. Her heart pounded violently, and she could clearly feel how stirred up she was at that moment.

Kamisato slowly leaned toward Chen Feng.

"Traveler, you should be able to indulge this little whim of mine, right?... I'm a little tired... Can I lean on your shoulder? Just for a moment."

Kamisato rested against Chen Feng's shoulder and murmured softly.

Chen Feng smiled. "Ayaka can lean on my shoulder whenever she wants."

"Mm!"

Kamisato nodded slightly, then gently leaned against Chen Feng's shoulder.

Chen Feng also slowly reached out and wrapped an arm around Kamisato.

At that moment, she could clearly feel Chen Feng's strong, solid arm embracing her. She could even feel his hard chest, his powerful heartbeat, and the scorching warmth of his breath.

Kamisato was incredibly shy, her heart thumping wildly.

She knew that, at this moment, she had completely fallen into Chen Feng's embrace.

At that moment, Chen Feng and Kamisato held each other. Both of their heartbeats began to quicken, and it seemed their noses were already touching.

Chen Feng looked at Kamisato. Now that things had reached this point, how could he possibly stop?

He leaned forward slightly, and his lips pressed directly against Kamisato's.

The two embraced each other and kissed.

The next morning, Chen Feng and Kamisato Ayaka rose early.

They prepared to head to Shrek Academy.

Chen Feng had seen on the map that Shrek Academy contained a treasure chest. He had to obtain it in order to acquire an Intertwined Fate.

Only then could his martial soul level up, and only then could he unlock a new "wife."

Chen Feng quickly arrived at Shrek Academy with Kamisato.

At the entrance to Shrek Academy's village stood a table, behind which sat an old man in his sixties.

A somewhat shabby plaque hung from the wooden archway at the village entrance. Five simple characters were carved upon it: Shrek Academy.

Before those five characters was a green portrait that looked like the head of some humanoid monster.

The old man behind the table also wore a similar green circular badge on his chest. It was presumably Shrek Academy's school emblem.

"So this is Shrek Academy?" Kamisato looked at the academy ahead, then continued in disbelief, "Didn't you say many geniuses fought to enroll here, Traveler? Why does it look... a little..."

Chen Feng smiled. "Ayaka, you don't need to spare their feelings. Shrek Academy really is trash. If it weren't for that Intertwined Fate, I wouldn't want to come to this academy."

Having read the original work, Chen Feng naturally knew that Shrek Academy was not all that impressive.

To begin with, Shrek Academy only had a few Soul Saint teachers, while Heaven Dou Royal Academy even had Soul Douluo-level teachers stationed there.

As for the claim that graduating from Shrek Academy would allow one to become an imperial viscount, that was merely a gimmick.

That was because most people at Shrek Academy could not graduate. Only a handful of geniuses did, and their strength was already sufficient for them to become imperial viscounts.

Therefore, Shrek Academy was utterly disgusting.

When Chen Feng arrived at Shrek Academy, he found a long line stretching outward.

Chen Feng joined the back of the line.

At that moment, a young man stepped up to the table to register.

The old man said lazily, "The registration fee is ten Gold Soul Coins. Just put them in that box."

The boy's accompanying father hurriedly took out ten Gold Soul Coins and placed them into a box made from several nailed-together wooden boards nearby.

"Hold out one hand."

The boy did as instructed and extended his hand before the old man. The old man pinched it twice, shook his head, and said, "You don't meet the age requirement. You can leave."

The boy froze for a moment before turning to look at his father.

His father hurriedly smiled ingratiatingly. "Teacher, my son only just turned thirteen. Could you perhaps make an exception?"

The old man said somewhat impatiently, "Don't hold up the people behind you. Don't you know the academy's rules? We only accept children under thirteen. Anyone over thirteen will not be admitted. You can leave."

The boy's father said, "Then what about our registration fee...?"

The old man replied bluntly, "Once registered, no refunds."

Hearing this, Chen Feng found Shrek Academy even more disgusting.

They took the money but refused to accept the student. How was that any different from robbery?

When Chen Feng had first arrived in this world, he had learned that ordinary villagers did not even earn one Gold Soul Coin in an entire year.

Ten Gold Soul Coins were undoubtedly an enormous fortune to ordinary people.

Many people saved enough money to send their children to school, only to arrive and find that not only would the school refuse to accept their child, but it would not even return the tuition they had painstakingly saved.

For wealthy families, it might not matter much.

But for ordinary families, such a practice could very well ruin that child's entire life.

The boy's father could not help but say angrily, "You're clearly scamming people out of money. Return our registration fee."

The old man glanced at him and said indifferently, "Mubai, someone wants their registration fee back. Handle it."

A figure suddenly sprang up from the ground beside them. "You want your registration fee back? Fine. Beat me, and I'll refund every last coin."

Without another word, Dai Mubai directly activated his Soul Power and released all three of his soul rings—two hundred-year rings and one thousand-year ring. His surging Soul Power formed an invisible pressure in the air as cold light flashed repeatedly in his evil eyes while he stared at the father and son.

In the end, the father and son could only submit to Shrek Academy's tyranny and accept their loss as they left.

Watching scene after scene like this made Chen Feng feel sick.

Standing beside Chen Feng, Ayaka said, "It seems an academy teaches students in its own image. Shrek Academy and Dai Mubai both like using their power to bully others!"

Kamisato Ayaka was the young lady of the Kamisato Clan in Inazuma. She had always been deeply considerate toward Inazuma's people, so the sight before her made her feel sick.

However, these were not her people, and she was not some saint.

Naturally, she would not interfere.

Chen Feng nodded slightly after hearing her words. "That's right. So once we get that treasure chest, let's leave!"
