Late-Night Intelligence Delivery, Surrounded by Inner Academy Senior Sisters

Wang Dong'er reacted the fastest, grabbing a thin blanket from the side and wrapping herself and Xiao Xiao up like dumplings, leaving only her big, humiliated eyes staring at Dai Huabin.

"You've arrived!"

It was Di Lingxi who broke the deadlock.

Di Lingxi had absolutely no concept of the human notion of "men and women should not touch each other." When she saw Dai Huabin enter, her eyes lit up, and she rushed over to him like a gust of wind, barefoot on the wool carpet.

Before Dai Huabin could react, his arms were tightly embraced by two incredibly soft mounds.

Di Lingxi pressed herself against him, and her already short white suspender dress slid up, leaving most of her fair and plump thigh rubbing against Dai Huabin's trouser leg.

"You smell so good." Di Lingxi sniffed, looked up at him, her golden eyes full of affection.

Dai Huabin felt an incredibly strong sensation on his arm. He instinctively tried to pull his hand away, but found that Ling Xi was surprisingly strong and he couldn't budge it at all.

"Cough..." Dai Huabin coughed dryly, his gaze struggling to shift from Di Lingxi's collar, forcing his eyes to focus on the seam of the canvas at the top of the tent.

"Hey, is our Captain Dai doing room checks in the middle of the night?"

Ma Xiaotao was the first to react. Instead of covering herself up, she adopted an even more alluring pose, supporting herself on the blanket with one hand, causing a large section of the neckline of her fiery red halter dress to droop down.

"Have you seen enough? Do you want me to stand up and spin you around?"

Wu Ming, also someone who thrives on chaos, joined in the commotion:

"That's right, junior Huabin, you've really seen through the Inner Academy and Outer Academy. If you don't take responsibility, I'll burn your tent down with the Golden Crow True Fire tomorrow."

Cui Yajie covered her mouth and chuckled softly, her fingers casually twirling her long pink hair as she winked.

"If the captain wants to see it, he should just say so. Why make up excuses?"

Ling Luochen remained seated, quietly watching Dai Huabin, a hint of a smile flashing in his clear, cold eyes.

Zhu Lu was the calmest one.

Instead of panicking, she watched Dai Huabin's forced composure with great interest.

As the fiancée, she is the official wife!

"Alright, stop fooling around."

Zhang Lexuan finally spoke up.

A rare blush appeared on her cheeks. She was the one who had called out "Come in," so the responsibility lay entirely with her.

Zhang Lexuan quickly grabbed a plain-colored long coat from the side and draped it over her shoulders, covering her exposed chest and shoulders.

She stood up from the cushion, adopting the imposing demeanor of the Grandmaster of the Inner Academy, and glanced at Ma Xiaotao and Wu Ming.

The two immediately stopped laughing and sat up straight.

Zhang Lexuan walked up to Dai Huabin and saw that Di Lingxi was holding his arm tightly, and he could only look up. She found it funny, but she maintained a serious expression.

"Huabin, pull Ling Xi away first," Zhang Lexuan said gently.

Dai Huabin felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He quickly reached out and pressed down on Di Lingxi's shoulder, using a little force to push her away half a step.

"Ling Xi, let go first, I have important business with Grandmaster."

Di Lingxi reluctantly pouted, but still obediently let go of his hand, though she remained standing very close to him.

Dai Huabin took a deep breath, suppressing the restless blood in his body, and looked straight at Zhang Lexuan, handing her the thick brown paper bag in his hand.

"Grandmaster, this is the intelligence that White Tiger Duke just sent."

Dai Huabin's tone returned to its usual calm.

"It's about the latest movements of those Evil Soul Masters in the Mingdou Mountain Range."

Upon hearing the words "Evil Soul Master," the enchanting atmosphere in the tent instantly dissipated by more than half.

Ma Xiaotao, Wu Ming, and Han Ruoruo's expressions immediately turned serious.

As Inner Academy disciples, they knew all too well what Evil Soul Master represented.

Zhang Lexuan took the thick kraft paper bag and tore open the seal.

After a short while, Zhang Lexuan turned two pages, her brows gradually furrowing.

That's it?

Dai Huabin knew that if the intelligence from the Star Luo Empire military was reliable, the Shrek Reserve Team wouldn't have suffered such heavy casualties in the original story.

"Grandmaster, what did the intelligence say?" Seeing that Zhang Lexuan's expression was off, Ma Xiaotao stopped teasing her and pulled a thin blanket over her legs.

Zhang Lexuan handed the letter to Ma Xiaotao.

"See for yourselves. Apart from knowing that this band of bandits is entrenched in a deep cave in the center of the Mingdou Mountain Range, and that there are about thirty Soul Master among them, everything else is completely blank."

Wu Ming leaned over and glanced at it, then immediately curled her lip:

"This is what you call intelligence? What's the leader's name? What's his cultivation level? What's his Martial Soul? He knows nothing. Are the Star Luo Empire's scouts just sitting around doing nothing?"

Dai Huabin silently gave Wu Ming a thumbs up in his heart.

They're just doing nothing, aren't they? They couldn't even find out that the other person was Evil Soul Master who uses Corpse Explosion.

"This group calls themselves the Hand of Death; they are extremely cruel and never leave anyone alive."

Zhang Lexuan wrapped her plain-colored coat tighter around herself, but it still couldn't cover the large expanse of white skin on her chest.

"Without survivors, it's naturally difficult to ascertain the specific Soul Skill and abilities. All the reconnaissance teams sent to the front lines have perished there."

Han Ruoruo seemed lost in thought:

"The Mingdou Mountain Range have complex terrain, making them easy to defend and difficult to attack. The fact that the enemy was able to annihilate the regular army's scouts means there are definitely troublesome individuals inside, perhaps even high-level Evil Soul Master."

After Dai Huabin finished discussing the important matters, the temperature inside the tent didn't drop at all. The scent of more than a dozen girls mixed in with the fragrance of their bodies wafted into his nostrils.

"Grandmaster, the intelligence has been delivered, so I'll head back now," Dai Huabin said quickly, already taking a step back.

What's the rush?

Ma Xiaotao rested her chin on her hand, and the neckline of her fiery red halter dress slipped down a little further.

"You weren't even blinking when you were looking at it just now, and now you're acting all high and mighty? Do you want me to save you a spot so you can sleep on the floor tonight?"

"Sister Xiaotao, stop teasing him."

Cui Yajie giggled beside her, her long pink hair swaying with the movement of her shoulders.

"Didn't you see that our captain's face is red all the way to the roots of his neck?"

Wang Dong'er hid under the thin blanket, only her eyes showing, glaring fiercely at him:

"Exactly! Breaking into a girl's tent in the middle of the night, get out of here! You pervert!"

Xiao Xiao pinched Wang Dong'er under the blanket and muttered, "Weren't you just complaining that he ran fast?"

"Shut up!" Wang Dong'er's face turned bright red.

Dai Huabin took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the surging blood within him. If he continued to speak, these women, who seemed to thrive on chaos, might utter some more outrageous and inappropriate words.

"Grandmaster, I really have to go. I have to get up early tomorrow." Dai Huabin slipped away, ready to make his escape.

"I'll go with you!" Upon hearing that he was leaving, Di Lingxi broke free from Zhu Lu's hand and tried to follow him barefoot.

"You come back here!" Zhu Lu grabbed her by the back of her collar. "What were you doing in the boys' tent in the middle of the night? Sleep here instead."

Di Lingxi pouted, looking aggrieved. "But he smells so good!"

A burst of laughter erupted inside the tent.

Zhang Lexuan couldn't help but smile, but quickly regained her composure.

She walked to the tent flap, looked at Dai Huabin, and her tone became very serious:

"Huabin, we absolutely cannot be careless when we go into the mountains tomorrow. The methods of Evil Soul Master are unpredictable and impossible to guard against. As the captain of the Reserve Team, you not only need to protect yourself, but also keep an eye on the others."

"I see."

Dai Huabin nodded seriously.

He knew better than anyone the dangers of tomorrow.

"Go on, get some rest." Zhang Lexuan helped him lift the curtain.

Dai Huabin stepped out of the tent, and the early winter night wind blew in his face, finally dispelling many of the white images in his mind.

He let out a long sigh and walked quickly back to the boys' tent.
