Boss Xiao: My Dad is Also a Male Lover?

"Little San, goodbye. Take good care of yourself in the Faculty Dormitory. There are lots of teachers there, so you need to work hard at your cultivation!"

At the entrance to the Seventh Dormitory, Bai Yu patted Tang San on the shoulder and spoke reluctantly.

Wang Sheng and Xiao Wu stood behind him, nodding in agreement.

" Tang San, we'll miss you. Remember to come back and visit the Seventh Dormitory when you have time!"

Tang San carried his luggage on his back. Seeing how reluctant the three were to let him go, he could not help feeling moved.

The Faculty Dormitory was on the other side of the academy. Now that he was changing dorms, he would have far fewer chances to visit the Seventh Dormitory in the future. No wonder Xiao Yu was so reluctant to part with him.

Tang San said emotionally, "Don't worry, Xiao Yu. I'll catch up to you soon!"

Bai Yu nodded. After the two exchanged their farewells, Bai Yu watched Tang San's receding figure, wiped the corner of his eye, and sighed.

"Ah, Little San... you're really leaving just like that."

Behind him, Xiao Wu and Wang Sheng wiped away the tears at the corners of their mouths and pulled Bai Yu back into the Seventh Dormitory.

Everyone from the Seventh Dormitory stood behind the door, staring eagerly at the entrance. The moment Bai Yu and the other two came in, they erupted into cheers. Then they brought over Grill Racks, roasted meat, Cumin, and Chili Powder from all directions.

Wang Sheng pulled a crate of alcohol from beneath his bed and shouted red-faced, "To celebrate Tang San getting the hell out, we won't stop until we're drunk tonight!"

"OOOOH!"

Everyone brought stools over for Bai Yu and Xiao Wu, then began grilling.

Soon, a huge chicken drumstick skewer and a whole Chinese cabbage were done. The considerate crowd handed them to Bai Yu and Xiao Wu first. Only after the two started eating did everyone else dare to dig in.

Wang Sheng said excitedly, "Come on, cheers!"

"Cheers!"

"From now on, there'll never be anyone named Tang San in the Seventh Dormitory again!"

"This feels amazing!"

After three rounds of drinks, Bai Yu was full. He stood alone by the window, deep in thought.

I don't know why, but ever since I came back from Soul Refining, my usual cultivation speed has felt much slower. I haven't done anything major these past two days. If I had to name something, could it be related to the Myriad Souls Banner's Soul Refining?

The Myriad Souls Banner is bound to my soul. Could Soul Refining have caused my cultivation progress to become tied to the Myriad Souls Banner as well?

It's not impossible. The Myriad Souls Banner needs Soul Power to nourish it after Soul Refining, which could be why the Human Emperor Banner's cultivation speed has slowed down. That's very possible! After all, the Human Emperor Banner and the Myriad Souls Banner were originally one entity.

So does that mean the more souls I refine in the future, the slower my cultivation will become? I'll need to spend a huge amount of Soul Power nourishing the Myriad Souls Banner. My own cultivation definitely won't be enough, so will I have to rely on Soul Devouring to feed souls in the future? And feed myself too?

Ha, I should've realized this on the day I awakened my martial soul. I'm an Evil Soul Master!

Bai Yu looked at his palm. From now on, whenever he was too lazy to cultivate, he could just devour the Soul Power of other living creatures to sustain himself!

Suddenly, Xiao Wu's voice sounded beside his ear.

"Hey, Xiao Yu, what are you thinking about? Don't tell me you really can't bear to see that freak Tang San leave?"

Bai Yu turned his head and went along with her words.

"After all, we did come from the same village."

Xiao Wu fell silent for a moment, then muttered, "Honestly, if he were even half as good as you, or half as loyal to his friends as you are, I wouldn't hate him so much."

Bai Yu smiled but said nothing more.

Then Xiao Wu suddenly said, "Xiao Yu, let's sleep together tonight!"

Bai Yu: "?"

You didn't even drink. Why are you suddenly acting crazy?

We're not even adults yet. I'm not sleeping platonically with you.

Bai Yu tactfully turned Xiao Wu down and quickly left, leaving behind only an angry Xiao Wu stamping her feet.

The next morning, Bai Yu used homesickness as an excuse to take a day off and secretly slipped into the forest.

The matter of the Dean taking him to Hunt for a Soul Ring had spread long ago. Everyone in the academy knew he was a student the Dean favored, so taking leave posed almost no obstacle.

In the forest, he refined a tiger soul. After comparing the results, he discovered that it was indeed as he had suspected—the more souls he refined, the more Soul Power he needed to nourish them. Naturally, his cultivation speed would slow down.

If he wanted to cultivate quickly, he could only devour the Soul Power of other living creatures.

At that moment, several little wolves saw that he was not very big and approached him with bared fangs.

Bai Yu sighed, rose to his feet, and smiled.

"Since that's the case, then don't blame me. I'm already here—wouldn't I be letting myself down if I didn't devour a few souls? Even mosquitoes are still meat!"

Meanwhile, at the City Lord's Manor, Xiao Chenyu went to find his father.

"Dad, when are we going to the academy? Just thinking about how that bastard Tang San is going to wreak havoc on Nuoding Academy and Nuoding City keeps me from eating or sleeping!"

Xiao Chenyu ground his teeth until they creaked, yet City Lord Xiao maintained an eerie silence. Only after Xiao Chenyu finished did he say faintly:

"Son, you're a grown man now. What's the big deal about being kissed twice?"

Xiao Chenyu: "?"

Did I hear that right?

Dad, that wasn't what you said yesterday!

He panicked:

"Dad, what do you mean? Tang San is a man!"

City Lord Xiao said faintly:

"Yes, you were kissed twice by a man. So what?"

Xiao Chenyu: "???"

City Lord Xiao waved a large hand.

"Your father thought it over carefully last night. If I stand up for you over this, the people of the city will say that I, City Lord Xiao, am narrow-minded and intolerant. So I've decided not to stand up for you."

"Dad!"

Xiao Chenyu was nearly furious enough to faint. But his own father had gone back on his word—what could he do?

City Lord Xiao barked:

"Calm down! You're the city lord's son, after all. Don't you have your own faction at the academy? This little grudge between you is like children playing house in my eyes. Go solve it yourself! If you can't solve it, then you deserve to be bullied!"

"Isn't it just being kissed twice by a man? You won't lose a piece of flesh. Figure it out yourself!"

Xiao Chenyu suddenly shuddered. A terrifying thought surfaced in his mind:

"Could my dad be into men too?"

The more Xiao Chenyu thought about it, the more frightened he became. He immediately slipped away as fast as he could!

After he left, City Lord Xiao entered the secret chamber once more and bowed to Tang Hao.

"Sir, I have done as you instructed. I won't help my son deal with Tang San. I'll let my son handle it himself."

Tang Hao nodded.

"Very good. You did well."

City Lord Xiao hesitated before asking:

"Sir, I don't understand. If you care about your son, why let my son go trouble him? You could have simply told me to forbid Xiao Chenyu from troubling Tang San. But not only did you not do that, you even told me to encourage Xiao Chenyu to go trouble Tang San."

Tang Hao said blandly:

"I'm not telling you."

City Lord Xiao: "...What I mean is, I'm the city lord, after all, and my son's influence in the academy is no small matter either. Aren't you afraid your son won't be a match for mine?"

Tang Hao sneered.

"Heh. Tang San is my son, after all. If he can't even handle the son of trash like you, then he's trash too. I won't interfere even once."

Though City Lord Xiao was furious inside, he did not dare show it. The man before him was unfathomably powerful—far stronger than he was.

Thinking this, City Lord Xiao could not help asking:

"Sir, could you tell this Henchman your name? If you encounter any difficulties in the future, this Henchman would be willing to serve you faithfully!"

Tang Hao let out a cold laugh.

"Are you, trash like you, worthy of knowing my name? I'm leaving. But if you dare leak the fact that I came here, I'll come back for you."

City Lord Xiao shuddered.

"You must be joking, sir. How would I dare?"

When he raised his head again, Tang Hao had already vanished.

City Lord Xiao smiled bitterly. Damn it, if your son dares kiss my son today, will he come to my door tomorrow to become my daughter-in-law?

And you're not stopping him. Could you be into men too? Or do you have some special fetish??

Are all powerful people this open-minded? This shameless?!
