Notting City, Taking Tang San as a Disciple

"Oh? That was rather absurdly powerful."

Drawing upon the essence of the earth veins, Gu Yuena looked Shen Qingling up and down and nodded slightly.

The preparations over all this time had not been in vain.

After ten years together, she understood Shen Qingling's temperament and preferences well enough.

In her eyes, when Shen Qingling said he did not want something, it meant he wanted it. When he said he wanted it, it meant he truly wanted it badly.

I spent ten years—ten whole years—and finally won you over.

Happy now? Just wait until we get back. If I do not tire you out so badly you cannot straighten your back, I'll write the name Gu Yuena backward.

"Not bad."

Shen Qingling withdrew his soul bone skill. Having absorbed a hundred-thousand-year soul ring, he would have no problem standing up to a Soul Douluo head-on.

"Congratulations, Dragon Husband!"

Bi Ji was the first to offer her congratulations.

The other ferocious beasts also congratulated him in turn.

"I should be thanking all of you."

Shen Qingling was a little at a loss at the sight.

"Now you know how to be polite? Tsk, tsk, how hypocritical."

With her arms crossed, Gu Yuena curled her lips and mocked him.

"If you cannot speak properly, then shut up." Shen Qingling shot Gu Yuena a glare.

"My mouth is on my face. I'll say whatever I want."

Gu Yuena stuck out her pink tongue. If Di Tian and the others had not been there, she would even have made a face at him.

The main thing was that she had truly integrated into the human world. In just ten years, she had changed a great deal.

Of course, this was also the first time she had pursued a man so humbly.

She should have known better and just forced the issue from the beginning. Why had she tried being gentle before?

"One day, I'll sew that mouth of yours shut."

Shen Qingling calmed himself. He absolutely would not get angry.

"Then come and do it, if you have the guts. If you don't, you're not a man!"

Gu Yuena raised her brows with a smile, utterly fearless.

Di Tian and the others exchanged looks. Had their lord really changed this much after going out for ten years?

She was actually bickering with the Dragon Husband. It was unbelievable.

"Hmph, I cannot be bothered talking to you."

Gu Yuena pouted, her tone coy. "Where are you going next? You cannot stay here forever, can you?"

"Notting City!"

Gu Yuena froze. "Notting City? What are you going there for?"

Notting City was tiny beyond belief. Why skip major cities like Heaven Dou City, Star Luo City, and Spirit City just to go to such a small city?

"To take in a disciple, naturally."

Shen Qingling smiled.

Take in a disciple?

Gu Yuena was stunned. A man who needed her to bring all three meals to him wanted to take in a disciple?

I'm already one of his own. If he's taking in a disciple, I need to vet them.

"Since you want to take one in, then do it. Whatever my husband decides is fine~"

Gu Yuena stepped forward and linked her arm through Shen Qingling's, speaking in a sweet, coquettish voice.

A shiver ran down Shen Qingling's back.

"Forget it. That style really does not suit you."

After settling the matter, Gu Yuena turned to the ferocious beasts.

"You all should pack up and go to Heaven Dou City in the human world to do whatever you like. You do not need to remain here any longer."

Di Tian was speechless.

"Go to the human world? My lord, are you certain?"

Gu Yuena nodded. "I'm certain. Absolutely certain. Go do your own thing. When the time comes, we'll find you in Heaven Dou City."

With that said,

Shen Qingling and Gu Yuena left Star Dou Forest.

Watching the two depart, Di Tian sank into thought. More precisely, he had yet to fully process what she had just said.

She wanted them to go to the human world?

What were they supposed to do there?

They would probably be professionals at beating people up.

"We're going to the human world, but we don't have money."

Xiong Jun slumped onto the ground and spoke helplessly.

"No money? Sell soul bones. They do not know about the caves of certain high-level soul beasts. Besides, your den is so huge, there should be some there too."

"I heard the Dragon Husband mention before that soul bones are especially valuable in the human world."

Zi Ji added.

"You should have said so earlier. I can find that stuff just by rummaging around." Xiong Jun's eyes lit up as he spoke excitedly.

Coming back to his senses, Di Tian instructed them.

"Gather here in half an hour. We depart for Heaven Dou City!"

Meanwhile, after a long flight, Shen Qingling and Gu Yuena soon arrived at Notting City.

"This place is so small. It is not even as nice as the house we bought in Vast Sea City. A house by the sea was so much more comfortable."

Gu Yuena began to miss their days in Vast Sea City again. At least back then, it had truly been a world for just Shen Qingling and herself.

"When we have time, we'll go back. For now, let's handle our business first."

Shen Qingling took Gu Yuena's hand and headed toward Notting Academy.

They had barely arrived when they heard the voice of an elderly man.

"What do you mean by this? We came here to enroll. How can you humiliate us like this?!"

Shen Qingling and Gu Yuena looked ahead. A hunched old man was red-faced as he angrily berated the gate guard.

Shen Qingling could not have been more familiar with this elderly man. Anyone who had come out of Holy Soul Village would never forget the name Old Jack.

Old Jack pointed at the gate guard and said,

"This is utterly ridiculous! Even if we are work-study students, we will still become soul masters in the future."

The gate guard gave a derisive snort.

"I never said I would not let you in."

How strong could a useless martial soul like Blue Silver Grass possibly be?

Tang San, standing beside Old Jack, had already clenched his fists, ready to act at any moment. In his heart, he had thoroughly cursed out the gate guard.

Shen Qingling released a faint trace of the bloodline aura from the Blue Silver Emperor. That subtle, keen aura immediately drew Tang San's attention away from the gate guard.

Tang San hurriedly looked back and saw two figures standing not far away.

One was a man with an exceptionally handsome face, heroic brows, and deep, spirited eyes that shone brightly.

The other had long silver hair draped behind her, a tall figure, and an extraordinary aura, like a celestial maiden descended from the heavens. Her violet eyes were even more captivating.

A perfect match.

That was what Tang San thought. Moreover, the aura of that man was deeply drawing him in.

"Husband, are you going to take him as your disciple?"

Gu Yuena asked.

"Of course."

The timing was about right. If he did not step in now, someone would arrive soon, and the argument between the gate guard and Old Jack would be stopped at any moment.

Shen Qingling and Gu Yuena walked over.

"Old sir, if you have run into any trouble, you can tell me."

At Shen Qingling's words, Old Jack and the gate guard both stopped arguing.

Seeing this handsome pair, the gate guard was briefly stunned. Their clothes, in particular, made it obvious they came from a wealthy family.

"Young master, Tang San is the only child from Holy Soul Village to enroll here. Although his martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, he possesses Innate Full Soul Power."

"I also have a letter of recommendation."

Old Jack handed over the document.

Shen Qingling accepted the letter of recommendation and glanced over it.

"It is indeed a letter of recommendation. A Blue Silver Grass martial soul!"

Shen Qingling looked at Tang San and revealed a kindly, fatherly smile.

"Good child, would you like to acknowledge me as your master? I can take you as my disciple."

"My martial soul is the Blue Silver Emperor, which shares the same origin as yours."

Blue Silver Emperor martial soul!

Before anyone could respond, there came a thump as someone dropped to their knees.
