After One Kun Month...

Wasn't this soul duel a match between Xiang Jun and Xu Sanshi? Who were those two guys fiercely elbowing each other in the ring?

Tang Ya and Huo Yuhao exchanged glances, and both could see the confusion in each other's eyes.

With the blessing of an earth-attribute soul master, the arena crushed to pieces by the Seagod's Trident was restored to its pristine condition in just a few minutes.

Coupled with the fact that they went off to place bets, the two of them perfectly missed the sensational scene where Xu Sanshi was given a "pardon me" by Xiang Jun.

Pulling aside a random passerby, Tang Ya asked with a puzzled tone, "Classmate, wasn't this soul duel supposed to be Xiang Jun against Xu Sanshi? Why did it suddenly change contestants?"

"You're too late, that match ended ages ago!"

"That Xu Sanshi didn't even take a single blow! And they call them the twin stars of the outer court—bah! What a waste of a hundred gold soul coins of mine!"

E... ended?!

Tang Ya's expression froze. She and Yuhao had only left for a few minutes!

After a brief flash of astonishment, a wave of joy surged into her heart. She once again grabbed the stupefied Huo Gua beside her and ran toward the betting hall.

"We're getting rich, we're getting rich! Hahaha~"

Time flew like a white horse passing a crevice, vanishing in an instant.

A full two and a half months had already passed since Ma Xiaotao's evil fire went out of control.

With Yan Shaozhe's authorization, Xiang Jun gained three days every week to go deep into the Golden Ancient Tree to cultivate, though the old friend Poseidon had mentioned still showed no sign of appearing.

Even Poseidon himself had vanished without a trace.

However, Xiang Jun was not without gains; at the very least, relying on the incomparably rich energy of the Golden Ancient Tree, his cultivation had completely stepped into the 43rd rank, and even the 44th rank was not too far away.

As for Huo Gua, upon learning that the pill Xiang Jun had previously gifted him was a Mysterious Water Pill, he became even more diligent every day.

He studied theory diligently by day, cultivated frantically by night, and occasionally went out to sell roasted fish. For two and a half months straight, he hadn't even slept, a workaholic state that made Xiang Jun shake his head repeatedly.

He could be called the new generation hustle king of Shrek!

Taking another Mysterious Water Pill along with Xiang Jun's once-a-week meridian tempering, Huo Gua's soul power level had also reached the 15th rank.

Well, still a little noob.

As for Tang Wutong...

"Agh, Grandpa, you're the best! I'm just going in for a look, I definitely won't sleep over here! I'm begging you~"

In front of the freshman dormitory, Tang Wutong was pulling the arm of an "unnamed" old grandfather, exerting herself in spoiled, coquettish fashion.

"Hahaha, little girl, it's a very impolite behavior for a girl to enter a boy's dormitory casually, you know!" The old man sat paralyzed in a wheelchair, smiling as he stroked his beard to tease her.

"Hehehe!"

Tang Wutong smiled embarrassedly, still staring at the old man with pitiful, watery eyes.

That pitiful appearance that could melt heaven's heart ultimately softened the old man's heart, and he could only say helplessly in his tone, "Go on, go on, this old man can't stand you acting like this, but you must leave before dark."

"Hehey, Grandpa, you're the best!" Tang Wutong's face flushed red, and she immediately skipped through the dormitory gates.

Watching Tang Wutong's skipping figure, the old man's gaze involuntarily grew profound.

"Clear Sky Hammer... Could it be that even the Clear Sky Sect is about to emerge into the world? The continent is truly surging with wind and clouds, what a pity this old man..."

Inside the freshman dormitory, ignoring the dumbfounded male cadets around her, Tang Wutong familiarly felt her way to Dormitory 108.

Looking at the tightly shut door before her, Tang Wutong, who had long since figured out Xiang Jun's daily routine inside and out, felt a sinister smile rise on her pretty face.

Detestable Xiang Jun, let this princess see what you're up to! Hehehehe~

Tang Wutong twisted her mouth in a smile, and actually slowly pulled a key from her bosom.

Click!

The door opened, and Xiang Jun, who was studying diligently, subconsciously looked up, only for the figure entering his vision to make his expression freeze.

"Tang Wutong?! Why are you here? Wait... where did you get the dormitory key!"

"Hmph! As long as this princess wants something, there is nothing in the entire Douluo Continent that this princess can't get her hands on—people included!" Tang Wutong was somewhat smug, then put her hands behind her back and began carefully inspecting every corner of the room.

Just like a male lion patrolling its territory.

"Not bad, it's pretty clean in the room~" Tang Wutong gave a petty huff, then sat down boisterously beside Xiang Jun.

Inhaling the scent beside her that was making her increasingly addicted, Tang Wutong's small face flushed red, and she once again quietly moved a few inches closer, her whole body nearly pressing against Xiang Jun.

After two and a half months of getting along, the relationship between the two had grown quite close, especially under the offensive of Tang Wutong's white silk, leaving Xiang Jun to silently endure it all with pain and happiness.

"Hey, hey, hey, why did you come here? Don't forget this is the boys' dormitory. If others see you, you might end up ruining your reputation in the academy!" Xiang Jun glared with a pair of dead fish eyes, saying helplessly in his tone.

"Tch, if they see me, they see me. The two of us haven't done anything unpresentable. My, Tang Wutong's, path is straight and fears no shadow; whoever dares to gossip about this princess, I'll smash their sand jar with the Clear Sky Hammer!"

Tang Wutong puffed out her small chest indifferently, and then, under Xiang Jun's incredulous gaze, she slowly kicked off the pair of crystal high heels on her feet and directly rested her jade legs across his two legs.

Nn? What are you doing!

He looked at Tang Wutong's blushing face, then looked down at the plump jade legs wrapped in silver silk, and Xiang Jun was directly shocked speechless by this move.

"Like it? This princess is wearing this style for the very first time..." Tang Wutong forced down the shyness in her heart, asking with expectant tone.

Ever since Tang Wutong fancied she discovered Xiang Jun's small preferences, the outfits on her jade legs every day were almost never repeated, and the above-the-knee pleated skirt had even become a regular visitor.

"Barely passable." Xiang Jun answered ambiguously.

Truth be told, Tang Wutong's leg shape was truly无可挑剔 (flawless), having inherited Xiao Wu's excellent genes after all.

"Tch, duplicitous guy."

Tang Wutong curled her lips and simply lay down directly on Xiang Jun's bed.

Her jade feet rested on Xiang Jun's legs, swaying wantonly, and the scent beneath her that made her unable to help herself actually made a strange thought pop up in Tang Wutong's heart.

"It wouldn't be bad if we could just live like this forever. The Divine Realm... isn't all that great either..."

Staring at the white ceiling, Tang Wutong suddenly sensed as if there was something underneath the pillow.

She subconsciously reached out her jade hand and pulled a book out from it.

Young A Bin?

Looking at the four large characters that leaped into view, Tang Wutong blinked in confusion, and was just about to open it to get to the bottom of the matter when she was snatched away in a flash by the quick-witted Xiang Jun.

"Ahem, this book is a bit profound, not really suitable for you." Xiang Jun gave a light cough and hurriedly stowed the book away into his soul tool.

Hm? There are secrets!
