My Sow Gave Birth, I'm Leaving First

Besides, what did it mean to light up the eyes of the White Tiger Duke Residence?

It meant activating Shrek's graduates. Just as it had a thousand years ago, when the then-president of Shrek raised the banner and summoned over sixty Title Douluo, pushing back the Sun Moon Empire in one stroke. Ever since then, the Three Great Empires had been extremely wary of Shrek graduates, and very few of them held high-ranking positions anymore.

Therefore, those who could be activated now were all elites valued by both sides. Once exposed, they could very well make the three empires grow resistant toward Shrek, tarnishing the academy's honor. After all, its students came from all three empires. If it came to that, the losses would be impossible to estimate.

Mu En nodded and said as calmly as ever, "I know. But she must be absolutely safe."

Yan Shaozhe fell silent at those words. Then he gritted his teeth, nodded heavily, and quietly withdrew to make arrangements.

Teacher could never be wrong. If he was wrong, then it had to be because Yan Shaozhe had failed to see the deeper picture.

After Yan Shaozhe left, Mu En turned his gaze toward the brother and sister walking farther away and murmured softly, "Both children have somewhat poor Innate Talent. The Profound Nether Sect's Profound Water Pill has a mild effect and can cleanse the meridians, refine the marrow, and build a foundation. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's Dragon Blood Pill strengthens the bones and enriches the blood. Whale Rubber improves the body's constitution. Spiritual Rhyme Sea Urchins cultivate spiritual power. Life Spirit Tree Leaves nourish the internal organs... What else? Looks like I'll have to hunt some Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts."

A few days later.

As the academy gradually became livelier, Lin You went to check which class he had been assigned to.

Freshman Class One. Great, he had landed right in that old hag's hands.

He really couldn't escape the invisible hand of fate. Still, he did not care much. He was not some chosen child of destiny, after all. If anything, not being with Huo Yuhao would be a form of tempering for that little girl.

The pleasing part was that Huo Yuhao had been assigned to Freshman Class Nine, Mu Jin's class, so she had avoided that unlucky kid Wang Dong'er.

Though she was beginning to grow into her looks, she had ultimately grown up under his protection and was still somewhat immature. More tempering would benefit them both.

Moreover, as time passed, his roommate had arrived in the dormitory. Lin You gave him a brief greeting, but to his surprise, the other boy ignored him completely. After unpacking, he went out to have fun by himself.

After asking around, Lin You learned that this guy was called Shangguan Chentian, leaving him speechless for a moment.

Fuck, he was one of the Nine Vajras!

Suddenly, he was no longer in a hurry. As long as the guy did not disturb him, it was fine. He would not be staying long anyway. Once he left, Lin You could enjoy having a room all to himself.

Inside the dormitory.

Lin You cultivated quietly. Before long, there came a series of knocks from outside. Without even opening his eyes, he called out, "It's just me."

The next moment, the door opened. Huo Yuhao poked her head inside, sniffed lightly, then let out an almost imperceptible sigh of relief before chirping happily, "You-ge!"

Then she flashed over and threw herself onto Lin You, clingingly rubbing against him without the slightest concern for her ladylike image. Pouting, she complained, "Damn it, it's been so long since we cultivated together! Cultivating alone feels so slow! Sniff sniff, I need to replenish my You element!"

"...That's not something you can replenish."

Lin You's mouth twitched. He gently pushed her away and said fondly, "You couldn't take it after just a few days? Besides, your current cultivation speed is what should be normal for you. All these years have really spoiled your tastes."

The little girl smiled sweetly. After carefully sensing the concentration of soul power in the dormitory, her eyes lit up. She hurried over to Lin You's bed, took off her shoes and socks, and revealed her jade-white feet.

The soles of her feet were delicate and smooth, her toes slender and well-proportioned. Her feet were beautifully shaped, their lines graceful and flowing. Even in her Shrek uniform, she carried an untainted beauty like a lotus rising from mud.

Then she sat cross-legged, closed her eyes, and began guiding the still-undispersed Spirit Attribute soul power. She could not help feeling fortunate that she had not gone sightseeing around the academy with Xiao Xiao, or she would have missed this.

Not long afterward, Huo Yuhao slowly opened her eyes, joy flashing across her features. This was nearly equal to half a night of her own cultivation. Sure enough, cultivating with You-ge was much faster.

"You-ge, when are you moving upstairs? If it really comes down to it, you can just make do and share a bed with me. Xiao Xiao won't mind."

The little girl might as well have bounced the beads of her abacus right into Lin You's face.

"No rush. With my cultivation method, someone will soon be unable to sit still. They'll move me somewhere else."

Lin You wore a faint smile. This display of his cultivation could not be concealed from those powerful people who were paying attention.

At his pace of cultivation, as his Soul Power Level rose and his physical condition improved, at most one or two years would pass before none of the students in the entire Dormitory Building could cultivate at night.

Because he would have devoured it all. Cultivate my ass.

For now, the upperclassmen and freshmen merely occasionally felt that something was strange. Their cultivation suddenly had no effect, but it did not happen often, so they only treated it as an odd occurrence.

But as time passed, this strange phenomenon of cultivation yielding no results would soon go from happening for a few minutes now and then, to over ten minutes now and then, and finally to every night of cultivation being ineffective.

One person dragging down an entire group.

If this continued, it would probably not be long before Shrek Academy had a campus ghost story: Do Not Cultivate at Night.

"Oh, then that's fine. Hehe, an old man in white came looking for me earlier. He told me to let you know that after school officially starts tomorrow, we don't need to go to the cafeteria after our morning and afternoon classes. We should go directly to the shore of Sea God Lake, where someone will take us onto Lake Heart Island for meals."

"Oh?"

Lin You raised an eyebrow. Over the past few days, he had either been studying in the library or loafing around in his dormitory, and no one had disturbed his peace. He had not expected them to contact Huo Yuhao first, but he soon understood. She was the target of the God-Making Plan. He was merely there to freeload, so there was no need for him to demand too much.

Still, although he did not know whether Mu En had convened a Sea God Pavilion Meeting because of this matter, since even Yan Shaozhe had been dispatched, there was surely no need for him to worry about what came next.

With the Martial Soul Department Inner Courtyard Dean personally backing him, it was like having a massive city wall behind him. Anyone who provoked him would be kicking the hardest steel plate on Douluo Continent.

Suddenly, footsteps approached from afar.

Like a startled hedgehog with its spines raised, Huo Yuhao sprang off the hot bed. With a push of her feet, she flew straight out the window!

Immediately afterward, her crisp little face peeked back over the windowsill, and she hurriedly said to Lin You, "You-ge, it's your roommate. I'm leaving first!"

The next second, she let go and lightly jumped down. Luckily, they were on the first floor. If they had been several floors higher, it would not have been so easy.

"Don't leave yet, your things!"

Lin You had barely called after her when the door creaked open and Shangguan Chentian sauntered in.

"Oh, you didn't go out to have fun?"

The guy seemed to be in a good mood and even had the time to greet him.

But the moment he entered, he spotted Lin You sitting awkwardly on the bed, lightly fidgeting with his feet.

Shangguan Chentian had excellent eyesight. He had clearly seen a pair of girls' school shoes get kicked beneath the bed!

And on the bed lay a pair of small, delicate white ankle socks.

"Sorry, bro. My sow at home gave birth, so I'm heading out. Uh, I won't be coming back tonight."

Shangguan Chentian gave him an awkward yet utterly impolite smile. Less than two seconds after entering, he shut the door and left at top speed.

Seeing the expression on his face that said, Don't explain, bro, I get it, Lin You did not know whether to laugh or cry.

No, bro, you've got it wrong!
