Arrival at Sea God Island

Above the clouds, fierce winds howled.

Yet inside the shield formed by Cai Mei'er's Titled Douluo-level Soul Power, it was as warm as a greenhouse.

Cai Mei'er held Dongfang Hao tightly against her. The breathtaking curves of her full figure were pressed firmly against the young man's back by their high-speed flight, squeezed into an exaggerated, alluring shape.

An ordinary young man would have been trembling with fear so high in the sky.

But Dongfang Hao showed no fear at all. Not content with enjoying the soft, springy warmth against his back, the scoundrel kept tilting and shifting his head.

Each time his short black hair brushed Cai Mei'er's slender neck, the back of his head also "accidentally" rubbed across those heavy, mature curves.

"Mmm..."

After being teased so tangibly again and again, Cai Mei'er's voluptuous body shivered as if struck by lightning. A terribly embarrassing, kitten-like murmur escaped her lips before she could stop it.

An indescribable tingling current raced up her spine and into her head. The Vice Dean of the Martial Soul Department, usually so dignified and imposing before her students, felt her long, shapely legs go weak.

This little menace...

Cai Mei'er bit her tempting red lip. A scorching blush spread across her beautiful, mature face.

She wanted to scold him and order the restless young man to behave. But whenever she looked down and saw those dark-gold eyes, so seemingly "bewildered and innocent," she could not bring herself to voice the rebuke.

Besides, during such a fast flight, a little bodily contact amid the buffeting air was... understandable, wasn't it?

Clinging to that bashful, self-deceiving excuse, Cai Mei'er could only hold her body rigid and force down the strange sensations rising through her in wave after wave. She poured all her attention into the journey.

Boom!

As they hurtled onward, the magnificent mountains and rivers below swept backward at astonishing speed.

Before long, the outline of a vast city came into view, sprawled across the plains like a primordial beast.

Shrek City!

Cai Mei'er did not stop outside the city. Azure light blazed around her as she became a streaking rainbow and swept directly over the outer grounds of Shrek Academy.

Beyond layer upon layer of buildings, the shimmering Sea God Lake appeared beneath them.

Its waters were clear as a mirror, like an enormous sapphire set into the earth. At the lake's center, an island veiled in dense natural energy and faint mist appeared and vanished like a fairyland.

Sea God Island!

Whoosh!

Cai Mei'er carried Dongfang Hao in a low glide over Sea God Lake, sending two snow-white waves several meters high surging behind them. At last, they landed before an exceptionally quiet and elegant detached Pavilion deep within the island.

Yet the instant his feet touched solid ground, a sly, secret grin flashed through Dongfang Hao's eyes.

"Oh!"

A startled cry suddenly escaped the young man. As though his first high-speed flight had left his blood surging and his legs unsteady, he pitched straight into Cai Mei'er's embrace!

"Careful!"

Cai Mei'er's heart jolted. Almost by instinct, she opened her arms and caught the off-balance young man tightly.

Thud!

The collision was a solid one!

Most of Dongfang Hao's body, especially his face and chest, sank without restraint into her warm, soft, yielding curves!

The scent of her mature beauty, like a fully ripened peach, filled his nose. The exquisite sensation nearly made Dongfang Hao cry out in secret delight. His hands even "panicked" and circled the beautiful woman's supple, full waist, pulling her hard against him.

"Hiss..."

Cai Mei'er drew in a sharp breath and froze where she stood.

The pressure against her chest and the furnace-hot presence of a man shattered her defenses in an instant.

Shame!

A towering wave of embarrassment threatened to drown her reason!

Yet behind that nearly suffocating shame, in the depths of the heart she had kept sealed away for years, there quietly stirred something she did not dare face... a secret thrill.

Though she had been Yan Shaozhe's wife in name for so many years, when had that man ever been this close to her in private, or touched her like this?

Over the long years, Cai Mei'er had spent countless silent nights trapped in self-reproach. Had she grown old and lost all her appeal as a woman? Was that why Yan Shaozhe kept her at arm's length?

But today...

This peerless young genius, so gifted and proud, was buried in her embrace, clinging to her with fervent fascination. It told her one unmistakable truth—

She, Cai Mei'er, was still a woman who could captivate a man!

Though this was the first time in her life she had ever been so improperly close to a man, she was the one who needed his help. Ma Xiaotao's life was still in his hands. How could she bring herself to shove him away?

"Y-you little rascal! Get up, now!"

Only after several breaths did Cai Mei'er come back to herself, trembling. She bit her red lip and shot Dongfang Hao a look that was half annoyance, half flushed allure, then halfheartedly pushed him a little way out of her embrace.

Her words sounded stern, but to the ear they were soft and powerless, more like a flirtatious complaint.

"Ahem... We were flying too fast. I got dizzy and lost my footing. Forgive me, Deputy Dean Cai."

Dongfang Hao wiped the corner of his mouth and reluctantly let go. There was no shame on his face; instead, he looked around with a smile.

Cai Mei'er glared at him fiercely. After steadying her breathing, she forced herself back into her usual dignified composure and said, a little hurriedly:

"Wait here quietly, and don't wander off! I'll bring Xiaotao over at once!"

With that, the beautiful deputy dean swept her robe aside and hurried off as a streak of light, as though one more second there might see the little wolf cub devour her whole.

Only when her mature, graceful figure vanished from sight did Dongfang Hao's smile slowly fade. Hands clasped behind his back, he swept his dark-gold Golden Eyes across the elegant, old-fashioned Pavilion hall.

The entire Pavilion was spacious, its furnishings tasteful and simple. It held a faint fragrance that was distinctly Cai Mei'er's, cool yet gentle.

And yet...

Under the scrutiny of his keen spiritual senses, he found Cai Mei'er's personal belongings, dressing table, and intimate clothing—but not the faintest trace or scent of a second man!

Interesting...

Dongfang Hao sneered:

"Everyone calls Cai Mei'er and Yan Shaozhe Shrek Academy's match made in heaven... But who would have thought that, in this vast Pavilion and her private chambers, Cai Mei'er has lived alone from beginning to end!"

"To have a beauty as ripe as a peach right beside him and never even touch her... Yan Shaozhe really is a sanctimonious hypocrite!"

Dongfang Hao drew back his gaze and let out a long breath. Ambition burned fiercely in the depths of his eyes.

"Yan Shaozhe, since you don't know how to treasure her... I'll gladly enjoy the charms of this ripe beauty in your place one day!"

Dongfang Hao was no saintly gentleman. Nor would he be like that good-for-nothing Huo Yuhao, whom Tang San had led around in circles until he worked himself to the bone for Tang Wutong alone, remaining chaste for her sake!

Since he had been given another life and possessed this invincible tenfold system, he would follow his desires and repay kindness and enmity as he pleased!

In the world of Peerless Tang Sect, he wanted power—and he wanted every peerless beauty and proud daughter of heaven beneath the skies!

Whether it was Cai Mei'er, whose allure had only deepened with age, the fiery Ma Xiaotao who would soon arrive, or even the pure and lofty Snow Empress and Ice Empress of the Far North, who looked down upon the heavens...

"Huo Yuhao was able to pioneer Soul Spirits and bring the Ice Empress under his command..."

A mass of ghostly white Divine Ice quietly appeared in Dongfang Hao's palm. The space around it froze with crisp, cracking sounds.

"I have the Divine Ice Martial Soul and a Ten-Million-Year Divine Ring... They can only be mine!"
