You Came In-And You Think You Can Leave?

"No need..."

Bai Tu's indifferent voice rang out.

He reached out and lightly tapped the candied hawthorn in Gu Yuena's hand. In an instant, it became five!

Gu Yuena obediently put one of them back on the vendor's stall.

Then Bai Tu turned his gaze to the girl who had spoken.

She wore a dress in a soft, elegant shade of pale blue. Its colors were clean and gentle, its cut lively and delicate, and its skirt light and flowing. Paired with simple, exquisite accessories, it revealed the noble air of a sect;

Her long hair fell smoothly down her back, adorned with understated hair ornaments. She had both a girl's sweet charm and the dignified grace of a young lady from a distinguished family.

There was no doubt she was Ning Rongrong of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

But...

Bai Tu's position made it impossible for him to feel any affection for her.

For now, he and Qian Renxue were in a semi-cooperative relationship, and there was a strong chance that, in the future, he could take over her forces without a fight.

That meant the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was naturally on the opposing side.

Ning Fengzhi, that old fox... no, that old schemer, had plenty of plans of his own. He absolutely wouldn't want to see a unified power emerge.

Especially one with an unclear connection to Spirit Hall.

The little girl meant well, of course, but Bai Tu wouldn't betray his allies.

"Wow! How'd you do that, handsome?"

Ning Rongrong's sparkling eyes curiously watched Bai Tu's long, slender fingers.

"And are you this pretty big sister's boyfriend?"

Gu Yuena nonchalantly shifted her gaze to Bai Tu.

"No..."

Bai Tu answered casually.

"I'm her husband!"

"By the way, young man, could I borrow a coin?"

After giving Gu Yuena the answer she wanted, Bai Tu immediately asked the vendor for a Silver Soul Coin!

Bai Tu split his Propagation Power into three portions. He kept one and gave the vendor the other two.

"Thanks, buddy!"

"And thank you for your kindness, little girl. But it's best to be careful around strangers."

Bai Tu shook his head and called Bi Ji and Gu Yuena, who was eating candied hawthorn. The three of them left together.

Given what had happened today, he wouldn't make the first move against Ning Rongrong.

As for the other members of the Shrek Seven Devils?

Bai Tu pondered.

The men went without saying; they were all his test subjects.

As for the women, hundreds of babies in one litter from the little rabbit was perfectly normal.

He'd let Ning Rongrong off this time.

And Zhu Zhuqing... he could simply grow stronger until she willingly became his test subject.

Bai Tu sensed the authority of his Propagation Power. One of its abilities was to trigger a random mutation, but he hadn't encountered one yet.

He could only hope Shrek Academy would give him a pleasant surprise.

"You don't like that girl? Should I go... mmph."

Gu Yuena had barely begun speaking when Bai Tu slipped a finger into her mouth.

Gu Yuena shot Bai Tu an annoyed look, then playfully circled her tongue around his finger.

"It's not a matter of liking or disliking her. Her family's faction might become our enemy."

"Don't go around picking fights all the time. Since we're in human society, why not enjoy it a little more?"

The three chatted as they found a nearby hotel and booked a room.

Where'd the money come from? Bai Tu had created it with his Propagation Power, of course!

"Enjoy ourselves? Now?"

Gu Yuena eyed the room's pink decor, looking tempted. There was only one big bed, but it was large enough for all three of them!

Bi Ji pressed her lips together and looked at Bai Tu as well.

"Some other day, all right?"

Bai Tu rubbed his lower back. With Propagation Power at his disposal, he wasn't too worried.

Still, he wanted to check how far the story had progressed first.

If possible, he wanted to steal Big Milk Cat away ahead of time.

Who knew how her Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Dai Mubai would come about before long?

To Bai Tu, Zhu Zhuqing was just a little toy, but he still liked his toys clean.

"Fox spirit! You're defying this king again!"

Gu Yuena ignored him completely and, right in front of Bi Ji, tossed Bai Tu onto the bed!

Then she pounced on him herself!

"This king will teach you how to use elemental power!"

"The elements I control are water, fire, earth, wind, light, darkness, and space."

"They may not be exactly the same as the Seven Elements you control, but all paths lead to the same destination!"

Bi Ji swallowed as she watched Gu Yuena speak while taking off Bai Tu's clothes.

Then, in Bi Ji's eyes, an adorable little fox leapt into view! It bit Gu Yuena on the leg!

"The softness of water..."

Gu Yuena murmured. She reached out and caught Bai Tu's little fox.

Her soft fingertips applied a little pressure, pressing the little fox's head down again and again.

"Water can also become ice!"

A smile danced in Gu Yuena's eyes as the temperature of her delicate hand suddenly dropped!

"Hiss!"

Bai Tu sucked in a sharp breath. She'd nearly frozen the little fox he'd raised into a faint!

"Today, this king will teach you this move~"

Gu Yuena stroked the little fox. The cool, icy sensation made its fur grow even stiffer!

Bai Tu gritted his teeth and looked at Gu Yuena, whose eyes brimmed with desire. How could she do this!

He could still make out Bi Ji behind Gu Yuena!

"Do you want to be banished to this king's cold palace~"

Gu Yuena leaned close to Bai Tu's ear, her voice soft and alluring.

At her words, Bai Tu could no longer restrain the little fox!

The little fox went wild, growing another size larger!

Gu Yuena gently stroked it. When she realized how much bigger it had gotten, she gave Bai Tu a long, meaningful look.

"If you can break into this king's cold palace, this king can let Bi Ji warm you up later~"

A bewitching smile spread across Gu Yuena's face. This time, she used the Dragon Gate in a different form!

The outer rim of this Dragon Gate seemed to be made of flowing water. It was indescribably soft!

The little fox charged through the Dragon Gate with a single surge and easily reached the entrance to Dragon Palace!

By now, the little fox had gone wild, so it naturally wasn't about to stop!

Gritting its teeth, the little fox plunged onward and felt the chill radiating from Dragon Palace!

The little fox was shocked. This was the cold palace Gu Yuena had mentioned!

But the little fox had been born unruly. A bit of cold wasn't going to scare it!

If anything, the challenge of the chill only stoked its competitive spirit!

The little fox suddenly launched into a headlong charge!

"Mm..."

Gu Yuena's body stiffened slightly, and a soft moan escaped her.

She reflexively put up a defense and firmly stopped the little fox's blow. The collision had no effect at all.

But the little fox didn't lose heart. Instead, it gently rubbed against the sturdy, icy entrance to Dragon Palace, carefully searching for a weak spot.

After several tries, the hard, freezing door finally showed a slight, softening flaw.

The little fox seized its chance, leapt with all its might, and charged straight into Dragon Palace.

"Ah!"

Gu Yuena's expression shifted, and she hurriedly wrapped her arms around Bai Tu's neck!

She could clearly feel an outsider entering her Dragon Palace.

The cold inside Dragon Palace was piercing. The little fox couldn't endure such bitter cold and suddenly felt sick, retching!

"Urgh~"

The little fox's frenzied state couldn't last, either. Its ferocity ebbed, and it slowly shrank.

Bai Tu felt a little awkward when he sensed that.

Then the icy entrance to Dragon Palace trapped the little fox's head right there!

Bai Tu's expression changed. Gu Yuena had caught him off guard!

"Little fox spirit, you came in—and you think you can leave?"

Gu Yuena's body trembled slightly. Pink hearts seemed to appear in her eyes as she caught Bai Tu's lips.
