The Awakening of the Red Lady's Bloodline?

Lu Chuan seriously suspected that he had gaslit Jinyu too hard when he reshaped her, or perhaps he had accidentally coded the [Perseverance] trait into her when he reconstructed her genes. Ever since he handed her over to Xiao Wuyue, Jinyu had begun to train like a woman possessed. Even when she was constantly getting injured, she never stopped practicing her ramming, strangling, biting, and tail-whipping. Her growth rate was almost visible to the naked eye; under the nourishment of Lu Chuan's ten-year and hundred-year Spirit Fruits, Jinyu had grown from the size of a palm to a meter in length. She was no longer the cute little thing she once was, but her increase in strength was truly remarkable.

Nowadays, she could at least hold off a two-ring Soul Master, giving Tang Wuyue enough time to complete the incantation for her first soul skill. If facing a one-ring Soul Master, Jinyu could even rely on her agile movements and sharp teeth to pull off a clean, solo assassination. Just two days ago, when the little girl was out alone and targeted by someone, Jinyu had slithered close, shattered the opponent's protective Soul Power with her fangs, and followed up with a heavy tail-whip, leaving the enemy completely unable to fight back.

Of course, every pro had its con. As her size increased, Jinyu gradually became unsuitable to carry around. Therefore, for the sake of convenience, Lu Chuan and Tang Wuyue—siblings working in perfect harmony—combined their efforts as a level-five blacksmith and a level-three mecha designer. Drawing inspiration from the Wish-Granting Treasure Pouch and incorporating the principles of the Soul Spirit Ball, they crafted a storage Soul Tool capable of housing living creatures: the Divine Beast Ball. The space inside was 3x3x3, equivalent to a small bedroom, containing air and capable of replenishing water, food, and healing medicine.

September arrived, marking another annual back-to-school season. The entrance to Eastsea Academy was packed with new students and their parents, bustling like a marketplace. Rows of Soul Guidance Cars were parked along the roadside, and countless children, filled with anticipation for their new lives, passed through the row of lush, leafy Wutong Trees at the academy gate. Lu Chuan and Tang Wuyue had arrived by bus. On the ride, Tang Wuyue met a warm-hearted senior named Liu Yuxin, a first-year student in the advanced division of Eastsea Academy. After Lu Chuan skipped a grade, he happened to be in the same year as her.

Because this Senior Sister Liu not only didn't think her Blue Silver Grass martial soul was a trash martial soul, but also encouraged her greatly, Tang Wuyue's affection for her had increased significantly. Just now, seeing Liu Yuxin's eyes glued to Lu Chuan on the carriage, the little girl had taken on the role of a matchmaker shortly after they got off.

"Brother, Senior Sister Yuxin is so beautiful, gentle, and considerate. I really want her to be my sister-in-law, and it seems like she's interested in you too..." Tang Wuyue blinked her large eyes, looking at Lu Chuan with a face full of anticipation, looking exactly like a kitten trying to sell its favorite toy.

Lu Chuan looked at the little girl's enthusiasm and felt a wave of helplessness. He raised his hand and tapped her on the forehead, warning her sternly, "You're just a child, don't worry about things you shouldn't! You don't need to concern yourself with your brother's marriage!"

Tang Wuyue felt a bit of pain, but she still wouldn't give up. She covered her forehead and protested in a low voice, "I'm not a child! I'm nine years old! Mom said I'm a big girl now! Besides, Brother, aren't you really tempted? Senior Sister Yuxin is truly wonderful. Look at how her eyes shine when she smiles at you! They say on TV that it's better to choose someone who loves you than to find someone you love..."

The little girl spoke with such logic, one principle after another popping out. Seeing that she had no intention of stopping, Lu Chuan had no choice but to use his ultimate move, "Stop, or I'm cutting off your allowance!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the effect was immediate. The little girl shut her mouth resentfully. However, judging by the expression on her face, she was clearly still unconvinced.

The day your memories fully recover and you remember how hard you tried to play matchmaker for me today, I wonder how you'll face me! Lu Chuan looked at Tang Wuyue and sighed silently in his heart. He then picked up her luggage and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to your dormitory. If you dawdle any longer, be careful not to get a good bed."

"Hmph!" Tang Wuyue puffed out her cheeks and followed, but she didn't forget to turn back and wave in the direction of Liu Yuxin. Along the way, she couldn't help but mutter, "I still think you two are a perfect match..."

The Eastsea Academy Intermediate Girls' Dormitory was a six-story gray-white building. The outer walls were covered in half-withered vines, exuding an atmosphere steeped in the passage of time. Tang Wuyue's dormitory was on the fourth floor, Room 404.

When Lu Chuan pushed the door open, two people had already arrived in the room.

A girl with her hair tied in a high ponytail sat on the lower bunk by the window.

Her skin was a healthy wheat color.

Her features were bright and bold.

When she smiled, she revealed a set of white teeth.

She looked full of vitality and brimming with life!

She wore a loose white T-shirt on her upper body.

On her lower body, she wore denim shorts.

They revealed two straight, long legs.

They exuded a sense of wild energy!

"Hello there!"

As soon as she saw someone enter, she greeted them enthusiastically.

"My name is Han Lan, and my martial soul is the Earth Element."

"I was promoted from the primary department of Eastsea Academy! I'm very familiar with the school, so if you can't find anything later, feel free to ask me!"

Han Lan's voice was crisp and loud.

When she smiled, her eyes curved into crescent moons.

The curve of her chest stretched the white T-shirt into a distinct arc.

It swayed gently with the movement of her standing up.

The other girl sat on the edge of the upper bunk near the door.

Upon hearing the commotion, she lifted her head like a startled little rabbit.

She had long, smooth, straight black hair.

Her bangs covered half of her eyebrows and eyes, but the one eye that was visible was exceptionally clear and bright.

Her pupil color was on the lighter side, resembling an amber cat's eye stone.

Her skin was very fair, fair to the point of being almost translucent, with a faint pink tint on her cheeks.

Her lips were thin and petite.

She looked quiet and still, like a young kitten hiding in a corner observing an unfamiliar environment.

"My name is... Li Chushui."

The young girl's voice was very soft, still carrying a hint of timidity.

"My martial soul is a cat."

Li Chushui wore a light blue dress.

The hem of the skirt reached above her knees, revealing a section of slender, fair calves.

As she spoke, she subconsciously pressed her legs together.

She placed her hands on her knees, her fingertips curling slightly, appearing somewhat nervous.

What was extremely noteworthy was that Li Chushui had a very well-endowed figure.

The waist of the dress was cinched very tightly, outlining a slender waist that could be grasped in one hand.

Above that was a full curve that didn't quite match her fragile temperament, and a shallow cleavage was vaguely visible at the neckline.

It seemed that the characteristic of Spirit Masters with cat martial souls on the Douluo Continent was that they were all well-endowed!

Lu Chuan merely cast a faint glance, not lingering any longer.

A single look was the nature of a man, an acknowledgment of beauty.

A second look, however, would be impolite.

"Hello, I am Tang Wuyue's older brother, Lu Chuan.

I would appreciate it if you could look after her a bit.

Of course, I am in the advanced division; if you run into any trouble, you can come find me as well!"

Lu Chuan smiled as he introduced himself to Han Lan and Li Chushui.

His intention was to leave a good impression, so that the two would truly take care of the little girl.

He did not expect that this smile

would nearly leave the two young girls, just beginning to understand romance, completely dazed.

"Okay!" Han Lan was naturally outgoing and usually quite boisterous, but at this moment, she inadvertently revealed a shy, feminine side.

"Me too!"

Li Chushui responded softly.

She was naturally timid, and seeing Lu Chuan look at her, she quickly lowered her head, her ears turning red.

After all, this was a girls' dormitory, and it was inconvenient for a boy to stay for long.

Lu Chuan helped Tang Wuyue make her bed and put away her luggage, then gave her a few words of advice before preparing to leave.

Before departing, he reached into his robe and pulled out the fist-sized silver sphere—the Divine Beast Ball—

and handed it to Tang Wuyue.

The little girl had rushed out of bed this morning and forgotten to bring Jinyu along:

"Jinyu is inside. If something happens, let her out; it's too stuffy inside the Divine Beast Ball after all. But remember, don't use her to scare your classmates."

"I know, I know!"

Tang Wuyue took the Divine Beast Ball, hugging it to her chest like a treasure and rubbing her cheek against it.

"Brother, hurry up and go, don't keep me from bonding with my new roommates!"

Lu Chuan gave her a speechless look and turned to walk out the door.

The moment the door closed, Han Lan flipped off her bed, scurried over to Tang Wuyue, and lowered her voice excitedly:

"Wuyue, your brother is so handsome!

This height, this aura, this face... he is simply the dream man in every woman's heart!

Did you two transfer here?

Otherwise, with your brother's looks, I'm afraid he would have been the talk of Eastsea Academy long ago!"

Hearing this, Tang Wuyue nodded.

"Yeah, my brother and I are both from Aolai City. Hongshan Junior Soul Master Academy."

"However, my brother has high talent. Even though he's the same age as me, he was recommended for the advanced division!"

"What, recommended? Doesn't that mean your brother is also nine years old!"

"Nine years old, in the advanced division? A genius!"

Han Lan's pupils constricted, and she couldn't help but gasp.

Tang Wuyue giggled.

"Of course! And I'll tell you a secret: my brother is already a Soul Elder!"

"What! Your brother is a Soul Elder! Then why didn't he apply to Shrek Academy?"

Han Lan was truly shocked this time.

A nine-year-old skipping grades to enter the advanced division of Eastsea Academy and a nine-year-old Soul Elder were two completely different concepts!

If the former could be called a genius, then the latter

was a monster!

But, as far as Han Lan knew, A nine-year-old Soul Elder—even the students at Shrek Academy couldn't be this monstrous!

Although she didn't know much about Shrek Academy, the Federation had absolutely no such records!

"It seems that because Aolai City lacks the qualifications to provide recommendations, he had to come to Eastsea Academy first."

Tang Wuyue tried her best to recall the details.

Han Lan understood in an instant.

To enter Shrek Academy, a student must first possess a recommendation letter from a main city or an accredited high-level Soul Master Academy.

Aolai City was just a small coastal town; it had no such qualifications whatsoever.

However, at the thought that Lu Chuan would most likely enter Shrek Academy in the future, Han Lan couldn't help but become even more interested in everything about him.

"Wuyue, do you know... if your brother has a girlfriend yet?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Wuyue's eyes lit up, and she immediately perked up.

"He doesn't! Why, Sister Han Lan, are you interested?"

"I wouldn't dare—"

Han Lan waved her hand with a smile. "A handsome guy of that caliber must have incredibly high standards. But..."

She changed the subject, laughing sheepishly, "If your brother ever has a dorm mixer, please make sure to invite me!"

Li Chushui sat on the upper bunk, listening to their conversation while her fingers gently twisted the hem of her skirt. She remained silent the entire time.

But at the thought of potentially having a mixer with Lu Chuan in the future, the corners of her mouth curled up involuntarily.

As for the little matchmaker Tang Wuyue?

Seeing the reactions of her two new roommates toward Lu Chuan, she felt delighted inside and even gave herself a secret thumbs-up!

Not bad, not bad at all.

The first step was a success!

As long as she continued to infiltrate their lives, one day she would surely be able to sell her brother off!
