Liu Erlong: You, Go Take a Bath!

The city gate fell into silence.

Just then, a fiery red figure rushed out from within the gates like a whirlwind, carrying a fierce, blazing aura as she arrived at the center of the conflict in an instant.

The newcomer was tall and voluptuous, with breathtaking curves.

Her proud bosom outlined a soul-stirring silhouette, fully displaying her mature charm.

Her beautiful face carried a fierceness and heroic spirit no less than any man's, while blazing fury filled her eyes.

At the sight of her, the surrounding commoners began discussing—

"That looks like... Dean Liu!"

"That's right, it's Liu Erlong, Dean Liu of Blue Tyrant Soul Master Academy!"

"Yeah, I heard Blue Tyrant Soul Master Academy only admits commoners and refuses nobles. And I heard Dean Liu is a Soul Saint!"

Xiao Yin froze when he saw the imposing woman before him and heard the surrounding chatter.

So this is Liu Erlong... She really is 'fiery'!

Both in temperament and figure.

Liu Erlong had merely happened to be passing by.

But as soon as she neared the city gates, she sensed a vicious aura so fierce that even she felt a trace of dread.

And when she heard the onlookers in the distance saying that nobles were bullying commoners, she had rushed over in a fury.

Yet the scene before her left even her stunned:

A youth in slightly worn clothes stood there calmly.

A lavishly dressed young noble had gone pale with fright.

A guard-like man lay unconscious on the ground, foam spilling from his mouth.

Liu Erlong's sharp gaze instantly locked onto Xiao Yin, the only person still standing in the middle of the scene.

She could clearly sense that the aura that had made her uneasy came from this youth!

To knock out a Soul Ancestor with mere pressure from his aura, this youth was anything but ordinary!

And judging by his clothes, he did not seem to be from some prominent clan either... If she could recruit him into the academy...

Liu Erlong's gaze instantly became scorching, as though she had discovered a priceless treasure!

She strode up to Xiao Yin. Her powerful Soul Saint aura radiated deliberately yet casually as she pointed at the young noble and the guard on the ground and asked:

"Kid, what happened here? Did these two blind fools provoke you?"

Xiao Yin looked up and met Liu Erlong's gaze. His eyes remained calm and unruffled as he simply pointed at the young noble.

"He wanted to cut in line. I refused, so he ordered this guard to teach me a lesson."

The moment Liu Erlong heard that, the fury in her phoenix eyes flared up again—but this time, it was directed at the young noble!

"Cut in line? And you even had a Soul Ancestor attack someone? You've got some damn nerve!" Liu Erlong suddenly turned, her gaze shooting toward the young noble like tangible flames.

Glared at by Liu Erlong's Soul Saint-level fury, the young noble was scared out of his wits. With a thud, he dropped to his knees, tears and snot streaming down his face.

"D-Dean Liu, spare me! Please spare me! I was blind! I deserve to die! I'll never dare do it again!"

"Get lost!"

Liu Erlong could not be bothered to waste words on such trash. She kicked the young noble in the backside, sending him flying several meters away.

"Take your dog of a servant and disappear from my sight immediately! If I see you throwing your weight around and bullying others in Heaven Dou City again, I'll break all three of your legs!"

"Yes! Yes! Thank you, Dean Liu! Thank you, Dean Liu!"

The young noble felt as though he had been pardoned. Ignoring the pain, he dragged the still-delirious A-Lang away, squeezed through the crowd, and fled in panic, even abandoning his luxurious carriage.

Once she had dealt with the eyesores, the anger on Liu Erlong's face vanished instantly. Her expression changed faster than flipping a page.

When she looked at Xiao Yin again, her face was full of smiles, and her gaze was so eager it was almost frightening.

"Kid, well done! That's exactly how you should deal with scum like that!"

She patted Xiao Yin hard on the shoulder, then impatiently asked:

"What's your name? Where are you from? Who taught you? Are you interested in joining my Blue Tyrant Academy? Food, lodging, and cultivation resources are all provided! If anyone dares bully you, I'll personally go beat them up for you!"

Liu Erlong fired off questions like a barrage, her overflowing enthusiasm leaving the surrounding crowd—who had yet to recover from their shock—stunned all over again.

Since when had the fiery-tempered dean of Blue Tyrant Academy ever been so warm and proactive toward someone?

Even Xiao Yin found Liu Erlong's blunt, almost bandit-like manner of recruiting people rather amusing.

He was about to politely decline when inspiration suddenly struck him—Blue Tyrant Academy?

Information about Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Rubber should be easier to obtain in a place where Soul Masters gathered, such as an academy, right?

And refining Whale Rubber required a high-level fire-element Soul Master... and Liu Erlong standing before him...

His thoughts raced, but his expression remained unchanged as he gave Liu Erlong a slight bow.

"My name is Xiao Yin. Greetings, Dean Liu. Thank you for resolving this matter. As for the academy... allow me to consider it."

"Consider it? What's there to consider?"

Liu Erlong widened her eyes, but forcibly suppressed her fiery temper.

"Fine, fine, consider it if you want! Come on, follow me into the city first! We'll find somewhere to sit and let you think it over slowly!"

As she spoke, she grabbed Xiao Yin's arm without giving him any choice, as though afraid he might run away. Then she bellowed dominantly at the city gate guards:

"What are you looking at? This is my newly recruited student! Let him through!"

How could the guards dare stop such a terror? They hurriedly bowed and stepped aside to clear a path.

And so Xiao Yin was "escorted" by the passionate Liu Erlong into Heaven Dou City under the astonished gazes of countless passersby.

Blue Tyrant Academy, Dean's Cottage.

She directly shoved Xiao Yin into the bathroom inside the building and tossed out a single sentence:

"You're filthy! Go wash yourself clean first, then we'll have a proper 'talk'!

Leave your clothes outside. There are new towels inside, and someone will bring you fresh clothes later!"

Then, with a bang, she slammed the door shut, clean and decisive without the slightest hesitation.

Watching Liu Erlong act with such boldness, Xiao Yin could not help but praise her for being broad-minded!

Following her instructions, he removed the clothes that had long since become tattered and turned on the shower.

On the way here, Xiao Yin had not paid much attention to the bloodstains covering his body, but Liu Erlong insisted that the smell of blood on him was too strong.

And after learning that he had spent more than three months in the forest before coming out, she had immediately dragged him into the bathroom and ordered him to wash up before coming back out.

His pale skin emerged through the steam as water wound down the tight, smooth lines of his muscles.

His shoulders and back were broad, his chest solid, and his abdomen sharply defined, eight abs like they had been carved from stone.

Blue Tyrant Academy... isn't bad. And its dean isn't bad either!

As the warm water washed over him, Xiao Yin began considering his next move.

He had originally planned to go to the Heaven Dou City Auction House, but by a twist of fate, he had met Liu Erlong instead.

And so, an intriguing plan began to take shape.

Twenty minutes later, Liu Erlong returned carrying a brand-new academy uniform.

She figured he should be about done by now. What man took a bath for that long?

Without thinking much of it, she shoved open the bathroom door and walked in, calling out carelessly, "Hey! I'll leave the clothes here..."

Her voice abruptly cut off.
