Meeting, A Nutritional Supplement

Under normal circumstances, outer courtyard disciples could not enter the inner courtyard.

After all, the inner courtyard was the true core of Shrek. Even core disciples of the outer courtyard would find it very difficult to enter unless some important figure from the inner courtyard took them in as a disciple.

But Beibei was no ordinary disciple.

Putting aside his status as Mu En's great-great-grandson, Beibei was also currently the most talented genius in the outer courtyard, one of Shrek's outer courtyard Twin Stars. Becoming an inner courtyard disciple was practically a foregone conclusion.

However, the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy was located on Sea God Island in the middle of the lake.

If one wanted to enter, one still needed a certain level of strength.

If it were just Beibei alone, he could still swim across.

But with Tang Ya and a six-year-old child in tow, Beibei was currently only a Soul Elder below rank forty, and he could not even use a flying-type soul tool, so he could only ask one of the academy's teachers for help.

As for what exactly they were going to the inner courtyard to do, Beibei did not say much.

After all, delivering Master Ye's own nephew to him was a favor.

With that Master Ye's personality, he might very well provide several rounds of "dietary nourishment."

With such an opportunity, what if the academy teacher grew envious and wanted a piece of the action?

On the surface, Beibei looked refined and gentlemanly, like an upright man of honor, but in truth, he had plenty of tricks up his sleeve.

In Xu Sanshi's words, it was: What I hate most about you, Beibei, is that your mouth is clearly full of rotten nonsense, but you always wear that innocent look. You're a quietly wicked bastard.

Inner Courtyard Cafeteria

Ye Tian had just come out of the private room when he suddenly heard a familiar voice behind him.

"Uncle."

Ye Tian hurriedly turned around and saw Bai Ran waving at him. Beside his nephew were two outer courtyard disciples from Shrek Academy, one boy and one girl.

"Bai Ran, how did you end up running into the academy?"

Ye Tian did not quite know what to say.

Logically speaking, after awakening his martial soul, the little fellow should have gone home. There was also a bag of gold soul coins on the bedside table, so he could buy whatever he wanted to eat himself.

But very quickly, Ye Tian thought of a possibility. Could this little fellow have inherited his father and mother's top-tier talent, and come to tell him the good news?

Bai Ran's father and Bai Ran's mother were both owners of top-tier martial souls.

Whether he inherited his father's Blazing Lion martial soul or his mother's Extreme Cold Ice Bird martial soul, either would be quite good.

In Ye Tian's heart, he still leaned more toward his nephew inheriting his elder sister's Extreme Cold Ice Bird martial soul.

After all, as her biological younger brother, Ye Tian knew the full configuration of his elder sister's first soul ring through eighth soul ring like the back of his hand.

Once the martial soul Bai Ran inherited was the Extreme Cold Ice Bird, Ye Tian could pave the road ahead for him in advance all the way until he cultivated to Titled Douluo.

Ye Tian: Judging from my nephew's appearance, his innate soul power should be above rank 7, right?

Only those with innate soul power above rank seven could barely be considered geniuses, possessing the possibility of breaking through to Titled Douluo in the future.

"Uncle, didn't you say you worked in the academy cafeteria?"

When Bai Ran walked into the inner courtyard cafeteria, he had almost thought he had gone to the wrong place.

Compared to the school cafeteria-style outer courtyard cafeteria, this inner courtyard cafeteria was more like a luxuriously decorated grand hotel. Even the dining areas had dedicated private rooms.

"Mm..."

Ye Tian did not speak, because he really had never explained the details of his work before. Mainly, his nephew had never asked much either.

To ease his own awkwardness, Ye Tian's gaze landed on Beibei and Tang Ya.

"Thank you for your trouble, students, for bringing my good-for-nothing nephew over. Is there anything you want?"

"It was no trouble, Teacher Ye. This was what we should do."

Aside from his title as the person in charge of the inner courtyard cafeteria, Ye Tian was also the academy's food-type professor.

In any case, he was an outstanding senior who had once graduated from Shrek Academy.

If not for the fact that there were too few students with food-type martial souls, so few that he often could not teach more than a few classes in an entire week, Ye Tian would not have been idle enough to take a post at the academy cafeteria.

Among soul masters, the number of auxiliary-type soul masters was already far smaller than that of battle-type soul masters, and the proportion of food-type soul masters among auxiliary-type soul masters was minuscule.

Often, among a dozen or so auxiliary-type soul masters, only one food-type soul master with innate soul power who could cultivate would be born.

Most people who awakened foods such as radishes or cabbages had no innate soul power, and thus could not become soul masters at all.

"That won't do. I can't let you two students make the trip for nothing. How about this? I'll apply for a serving of dietary nourishment for you."

He said "apply," but in truth, it entirely depended on whether Ye Tian wanted to make it.

If he did not want to make it, it would be useless even if an ordinary Titled Douluo begged him.

"A serving of dietary nourishment?"

Beibei had not expected that he would really manage to score something good just by delivering a child.

Although the price of one serving of dietary nourishment only ranged from a few thousand to ten thousand gold soul coins, compared to the rare ingredients used in the dietary nourishment itself, what was truly precious was having it personally prepared by a food-type Soul Douluo.

If Master Ye were not a member of Shrek Academy, asking him to prepare a dish would probably require one hundred thousand gold soul coins before he was willing to act.

Ye Tian: That's a bit exaggerated, but close enough.
