Du Weilun lowered his head as he entered the reception hall, then handed the black card held in both hands to Tingyun, who had stood up to greet him.
"My apologies, President Tingyun. On behalf of Shrek Academy, I have come to apologize for the conflict between our two parties. It was my own arrogance and that of Dean Yan Shaozhe that led to us offending you. This black card contains one hundred million Gold Soul Coins; please accept it as a token of Shrek's atonement, and I hope it may resolve the friction between us."
"No problem~ This humble one has always advocated for harmony, and the Fairy Boat is not a force that likes to be aggressive. However, since Director Du is already here, there are two matters I would like to discuss with Shrek Academy~"
Tingyun accepted the black card from Du Weilun and said with a light chuckle.
"I do not know what requests the President has, but please, speak plainly!"
Tingyun looked at Du Weilun, unable to help but sigh that Shrek could actually speak reasonably when they wanted to.
"It is nothing major; it is simply that students Zhang Lexuan and Jiang Nannan intend to withdraw from Shrek Academy and transfer to our Minghuo Academy instead."
"What! No... no problem at all. As long as the children agree, the academy will also consent. President Tingyun, I shall take my leave now!"
Du Weilun hurried out. Had he heard someone dare to quit Shrek Academy before, would he not have been red-eyed with rage, panting like an ox? But since it involved the Fairy Boat, he decided to let it go!
His departure was solely to report to the Sea God Pavilion that the Fairy Boat intended to establish its own academy.
After all, no matter how strong the Fairy Boat was, it was still just a reclusive power. According to Mu En's deduction, as long as they provided compensation, they should not hold onto their grudge against Shrek.
But he had not expected the Fairy Boat to actually establish an academy to compete directly with Shrek! How could Du Weilun possibly keep his composure?
"Tsk tsk~ To meet again in such a sorry state, it really is laughable~"
Tingyun fanned herself with her beloved little fan, shaking her head as she spoke.
Once finished, everyone went off to attend to their own affairs.
Tingyun carried the sleeping Bai Mo to her room, while Wu Qingyao found a place to send a message to Sect Master Ning, and the Snow Empress took Gu Yue Na to arrange their rooms.
Feeling relaxed, Zhang Lexuan and Jiang Nannan decided to go out for dinner.
The lonely Nan Qiuchiu simply acknowledged the remaining Ice Empress as her big sister. The two went off together to study the Jade Abacus that Bai Mo had distributed.
Lying on Tingyun's bed, Bai Mo inadvertently entered the Simulated Universe once again.
Bai Mo yawned as he watched Little Black Tower and her two little assistants working on something ahead of him.
"What are you doing? Was it you who called me in?"
Seeing Bai Mo enter, Wu Feng's eyes lit up. She charged at him with another headbutt, but it was intercepted by Bai Mo, who had anticipated it, and he pulled her into his embrace.
"It was I who called. As I expected, the birth of life in the transcendent world cannot be separated from the sun and the moon."
Black Tower set down her work, signaled to Ning Tian that she could also take a break, and turned to speak to Bai Mo.
"As you can see, after you copied the data of that Little Moon, the stability of life data in the True Number World increased by 257.63%. According to my estimates, once I upgrade the real data of the sun, I should be able to make the True Number World a self-sufficient small world."
"That can't be helped. The sun is quite far away, and I don't really want to run over there. Another day, I'll have a Heavenly General take you to copy it."
Bai Mo responded listlessly, while absentmindedly stroking the flushed, tender cheeks of Wu Feng, who was still held in his arms.
Little Red Hair pouted, her small hands pinching Bai Mo's stomach tightly.
"That works. By the way, what about the data you copied at Shrek? Let me see it, and also that little girl who currently holds no malice."
"Where was I supposed to copy that for you? I was already struggling just to pull a heavy cart with a small horse; I didn't even have the energy to detect the Silver Dragon King nearby, so how could I possibly copy the data of Shrek and the Golden Tree? As for the Silver Dragon King's data, she is still very wary of me, and I am not sure if she can detect my Martial Soul, so let's wait a while longer."
"Then why didn't you just use the Cornerstone I gave you?"
Hearing Little Black Tower's words, Bai Mo was left speechless.
Could he say that besides wanting to vent for Tingyun, part of it was just because he wanted to show off?
"Ms. Black Tower, to what extent has your research on the Jade Abacus progressed?"
Bai Mo changed the subject.
"Not bad. At the suggestion of this little golden-haired girl, I installed a real-person recognition program—one person, one abacus. I also installed a stealth program that can collect information, which will be good for the diversified development of your scepter."
Stealing information? That really is...
"Oh, right, I installed a new game mode in the Simulated Universe; you can go and try it out. Little Golden Hair, take this brat to go see it, and don't disturb my work!"
The fickle Little Black Tower said whatever came to her mind; as soon as she thought of the new mode, she had Ning Tian take Bai Mo away.
Bai Mo helplessly took Wu Feng's small hand and followed Ning Tian, the three of them heading to the location of the new mode Black Tower mentioned.
Although Bai Mo could directly obtain information through his owner permissions, that would be quite boring; it was better to go see it for himself.
The three entered Bai Mo's Crystal Palace, where a new room had appeared, labeled "Bai Mo's Martial Soul."
Seeing the name, Bai Mo roughly guessed Ms. Black Tower's new invention.
"This is it. Bai Mo, when I was chatting with Teacher Black Tower, I mentioned that Bai Mo had no combat ability, so Teacher Black Tower programmed this room."
Hearing Ning Tian's form of address, Bai Mo was stunned. Had she actually taken Ning Tian as a disciple?
"Darn Bai Mo, from now on, King Wu Feng will no longer be Bai Mo's opponent!"
Wu Feng sulked, speaking indignantly.
"You're joking, Wu Feng. When have you ever been my opponent!"
Bai Mo responded to Wu Feng with a chuckle and pushed open the door.
"When we were kids, even when you and the Young Master teamed up, you were no match for me!"
Wu Feng puffed out her chest proudly, and Ning Tian couldn't help but smile at the two of them bickering.
After the three of them entered the room, there was nothing inside.
After all, the room was merely a manifestation of program code.
Bai Mo pulled up the source code and discovered that the Martial Soul had an option to add new code. He attempted to add the Heavenly Snow Woman and pressed enter.
Immediately following, a massive blue male "Heavenly Snow Man" appeared behind Bai Mo, its face identical to his own.
"Not bad! To think it can bypass the limitations of Martial Soul characteristics, and it can even be tested in reality!"
Bai Mo conjured a mirror, examining his new white hair with amazement. Well, this was a turn of events: the Snow Empress had become Bai Xue, and Bai Mo had become Xue Mo.
"It's a pity that Teacher Herta said this Martial Soul can only be maintained for three hours in reality, but it should give you some ability to protect yourself."
Ning Tian looked at Bai Mo with envy, speaking with a hint of dejection.
Noticing Ning Tian's disappointment, Bai Mo reached out and twined his fingers through Ning Tian's golden hair.
"Don't worry about me, Ning Tian. Even without a combat-type Martial Soul, my physical constitution alone, bolstered by Light Cones and Blessings, is something no other Spirit Master of the same rank can handle. Besides, rest assured, once I grow a bit more, I will definitely be able to help Ning Tian permanently evolve into a true Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda, or even make Ning Tian a twin, triple, or hundred-fold Martial Soul possessor!"
"Huh? How could I possibly give birth to that many!"
Ning Tian shot Bai Mo a glare, though her heart was deeply moved.
"What about me! What about me! I want to give birth to 100 too!"
