A few mornings later, at Shrek Academy.

Yu Daoyun returned to the academy two days before the start of the term, bringing along some gifts for his senior sisters.

Even while away, he still kept his senior sisters in his thoughts.

He hadn't left anyone out, including Han Ruoruo, Wu Ming, Ling Luochen, and the others; the gift for Ling Luochen, in particular, was guaranteed to dazzle her beautiful, wide eyes.

It was a Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus that Yu Daoyun, as the uncrowned king of the Extreme North, had plucked from the Snow Empress herself. It was of immense help to the cultivation of ice-attribute Soul Masters and was a priceless treasure that could not be bought with money.

Ling Luochen was instantly won over, as she had never received such a precious gift before.

She was originally averse to men, but she inexplicably developed a different perspective toward Yu Daoyun.

This Junior Disciple was just too good!

She was enjoying all the blessings that Ma Xiaotao had missed out on.

If she had many such Snow Lotuses, Ling Luochen believed she could cultivate into an Ultimate Ice Soul Master and revitalize her family.

Yu Daoyun raised an eyebrow as he looked Ling Luochen over and said indifferently, "This item... actually, I have more, but do you know the immutable principle of alchemy?"

"What is it?"

Ling Luochen blinked her large, beautiful eyes.

Yu Daoyun said calmly, "It is equivalent exchange! Therefore, you must have something to trade with me; otherwise, wouldn't I just be a sycophant? I won't be a sycophant for you, because I think Dai Yueheng has feelings for both you and Ma Xiaotao."

I do not, don't slander me... Dai Yueheng, standing far away, felt his expression darken.

Ling Luochen hesitated for a moment and said, "I have money!"

Yu Daoyun waved his hand and said indifferently, "I'm not short on money."

"Then what do you want in exchange?" The cat ears on Ling Luochen's head drooped, and she felt a sense of loss in her heart.

Yu Daoyun thought for a moment and said, "Tell me a bedtime story every day, and you get one Snow Lotus a month."

Ling Luochen's pretty face flushed red.

It was so shameful; she would never do that.

Even if she didn't become an Ultimate Ice Soul Master, she wouldn't agree to such a shameful request. How was that any different from being a child bride?

She wasn't the Head Senior Sister!!

What if something went wrong and she ended up with a child? Ling Luochen had heard that some Inner Court students would go out on missions together, tell some little stories, and then inexplicably end up pregnant, giving birth to a child before even graduating from the Inner Court.

Ling Luochen was terrified. She rejected Yu Daoyun's invitation and scurried away like a little cat.

Han Ruoruo, standing to the side, blinked and said with a smile, "Little Fellow, your intentions aren't pure. How can your mind be filled with such things? Ling Luochen is the hardest girl in the Inner Court to get close to; her entire heart is set on cultivation and becoming an Ultimate Ice Soul Master. You'd be better off changing your target. I think Wu Ming would be fine; she could be your wife, your sister, or even your mother."

Wu Ming immediately grew anxious. She wiggled her hips, shoved Han Ruoruo, and said coquettishly, "Oh... Sister Ruoruo, you're hateful! Who wants to be his mother? He's still just a Little Peanut."

The other female Inner Court students left in embarrassment.

Senior sisters who had passed puberty spoke without restraint; most people couldn't handle it.

Yu Daoyun's mouth twitched as well.

The "peanut" thing was from when he was six; he was long past that stage now.

The Inner Court senior sisters were even more open-minded than I imagined.

However... Yu Daoyun noticed a problem: why had he been feeling more attracted to women lately, drawn to them for no reason?

Could it be related to the essence of the Golden Dragon King?

Dragons are inherently lustful, and the Bloodline Power of the Golden Dragon King is incredibly vast; it must be the influence of the bloodline.

Guard your heart, you must guard your heart!

Lust is a bone-scraping knife, form is emptiness...

Taking advantage of the lack of cultivation missions lately, and with Zhang Lexuan still away on a mission, Yu Daoyun decided to head to the Outer Court to see what kind of second Martial Soul Huo Yuhao had absorbed, and to listen to Ning Tian tell stories.

If Ling Luochen wouldn't tell them, there were plenty of others who would!!

A dozen minutes later, classes at the Shrek Outer Court ended.

Yu Daoyun first went to Huo Yuhao's classroom and asked, "Has your soul power improved lately?"

Huo Yuhao lowered his head and whispered, "A little bit."

Without a word, Yu Daoyun grabbed the other's wrist and used the Bloodline Power of the Golden Dragon King to examine Huo Yuhao's second Martial Soul, feeling incredibly surprised.

He spoke up, "Your spiritual power and soul power have become so thick; do you have another Martial Soul?"

Huo Yuhao was startled. He hadn't expected his senior to be so sharp, so he had to nod and say, "My second Martial Soul is also of the spiritual attribute. It's my other eye. I don't know why it suddenly awakened during the break; it seems to be called the Evil Eye."

You really have a knack for playing the fool, kid... Yu Daoyun let go of his hand, having understood everything.

The Child of Destiny is truly the Child of Destiny. Even without the Ice Empress, he still obtained the spiritual-attribute Evil Eye Tyrant Martial Soul. This is simply too heaven-defying.

Meeting an Evil Eye in the Extreme North—could the Plane Master be any more absurd?

Forget it... I'd better go find Ning Tian.

Yu Daoyun turned and went straight to Ning Tian's classroom to meet her.

Upon seeing the Instructor Brother she had been longing for, Ning Tian smiled sweetly, "You're here!"

Beside her, Wu Feng's brow twitched, sensing danger.

It seemed Tian Jie and the instructor were already involved.

What would she do then? Would she be married off as a dowry maid alongside her?

But that would be so embarrassing!

Yu Daoyun raised an eyebrow and looked at Wu Feng, "What are you thinking about so intently?"

Wu Feng startled and said flusteredly, "Tian Jie, I don't want to be a dowry maid..."

As soon as these words left his mouth, Ning Tian's face turned red all the way to her ears. She was so embarrassed her toes curled, wishing she could punch Wu Feng to the ground.

Embarrassing, so embarrassing!!

Wu Feng also realized he had spoken too quickly and glared back at the students in the classroom, roaring, "No laughing, none of you are allowed to laugh!!"

She was so angry she was about to explode.

Ning Tian immediately grabbed Wu Feng's head and yelled, "Shut up, you've completely embarrassed me."

With that, she ran off with Yu Daoyun, leaving Wu Feng in a daze.

In the academy's garden, Ning Tian clasped her hands behind her back, fidgeting, and said coquettishly, "Didn't you say you missed me? Why are you looking for me right at the start of the semester? We have our upgrade assessment coming up soon, I'm really busy right now."

Yu Daoyun sighed, "I went out and almost didn't make it back."

As soon as he said this, Ning Tian's expression changed immediately. "Did something happen?"

But when she looked up and saw his roguish grin, she knew he was teasing her.

That darn guy!!

Veins popped on Ning Tian's forehead, and her small fists clenched tightly, unable to resist the urge to punch him.

At this moment, Yu Daoyun took out a Snow Lotus and said, "I was training in the Extreme North and saw this flower. It was so beautiful, I couldn't help but pick one for you. I didn't expect you..."

He trailed off, sighing, clearly disappointed with the Young Lord Ning Tian's reaction.

Ning Tian gazed at the pure white Snow Lotus, and her heart melted like cream.

So this guy still remembered her. It wasn't in vain that she had been so bold.
