Pure as ice and jade

"Your victories came from the Scarlet King and the Myriad Demon King voluntarily entering your Dream World."

"As for your physical body, any Titled Douluo could wipe you out."

The Silver Dragon King fell silent for a moment, her clear purple eyes gazing deeply at Blue Sky before her.

"What if I told you they had no choice but to enter my Dream World?"

Blue Sky smiled mysteriously.

"What do you mean?"

The Silver Dragon King was puzzled.

"To kill me, you must kill me in reality and in the dream at the same time."

Blue Sky glanced at the two beasts sleeping soundly on the ground. His meaning was simple: in the Dream World, he could toy with even these two Ferocious Beasts.

"My lord, the Divine Realm certainly has its own designs, but you haven't lost anything either, have you?"

"If the Divine Realm is willing to keep its promise, the Soul Beasts' problems will naturally be resolved after I win. If it cannot keep its promise, the world will see its ugly face, and you can also use me to carry out a purge of the human world."

Blue Sky explained slowly.

"Are you really so confident you'll win?"

The Silver Dragon King spoke gravely. Her draconic form slowly receded, leaving only a slender, silver-haired girl with a cool expression standing there.

"My lord, I am the king of order!"

"I was born yearning for conquest. Until the dust settles, I will always have grounds for confidence."

Blue Sky spoke frankly as he stood facing Gu Yuena.

"What do you want?"

Gu Yuena's pink lips parted as she asked evenly.

"Them."

Blue Sky pointed at the two sleeping Ferocious Beasts.

"They can protect me from threats in reality and provide me with power in dreams."

The corners of Blue Sky's mouth lifted slightly. He knew very well that he had persuaded Gu Yuena.

"They're too weak..."

"How about this? I can have Zi JI serve you for the time being."

"And all Soul Beasts in Star Dou aged one hundred thousand years or younger may answer to your commands."

"But you must not slaughter Soul Beasts again."

Gu Yuena considered for a moment and decided to make a small initial investment.

"Of course, if they fall on the battlefield, you may still bring their consciousnesses into the Dream World."

Seemingly concerned that Blue Sky might be dissatisfied, Gu Yuena added another sentence. Then she gently placed her fair, soft, jade-like hand in Blue Sky's.

Their purple and golden eyes met, each seeing the other's reflection...

"Rooms are tight. We can only free up three rooms right now."

At Shrek Academy, Zhu Zhuqing explained softly to the four who had returned.

"It's fine. At worst, Sister Rongrong and I can stay somewhere outside."

"Speaking of which, Tang Lan, Xiao Wu, what did His Excellency Haotian go off to talk to you about?"

Ning Jiao casually asked Tang Lan and Ning Jiao, who had returned together and stood opposite him. Both looked somewhat unnatural.

"Nothing much. Just some family talk."

Tang Lan shook her head without saying more.

"What do you think about that voice in the sky?"

Xiao Wu asked with her head lowered, nothing like her usual boisterous self.

In fact, she was already thinking about finding an opportunity to seek refuge with that mighty transformed Soul Beast. She did not believe Tang Hao's emotional appeals at all!

He had even said that Little Lan's mother was a Soul Beast too, and that he would not harm her.

But didn't Little Lan's mother's Soul Ring end up on you too?!

Having made no crucial progress with Tang Lan, Xiao Wu still had a little sense at this point.

"We'll watch sitting down. With those scrawny little arms and legs, you actually want to get involved?"

Ning Jiao shrugged and said indifferently.

"The voice in the sky gave us too little information. Let's wait and see."

Tang Lan shook her head, remaining very cautious.

"Besides... Ning Jiao is right. With our strength, we're still too weak to take part in a war..."

Tang Lan gave Ning Jiao a long look, remembering what her father had said before leaving.

She admitted that her father had a point, but she really knew nothing about this sort of thing!

I can't just go straight to sleeping with him in the middle of the night!

Tang Lan felt a little troubled.

"That's right. The voice in the sky mentioned Godhood as a reward. Perhaps it came from a god."

"And that divine voice said Godhood would be bestowed afterward. I'm afraid even Titled Douluo will go mad over it."

Zhu Zhuqing spoke thoughtfully. If any of the younger generation could get involved in this affair, it was probably only her younger brother and Ning Jiao when facing women.

Speaking of which, she had no idea where that younger brother of hers was now...

"All right, all right, stop discussing it. If the sky falls, your teacher will hold it up."

"Have you chosen your rooms? I'll register you."

Liu Erlong spoke with a laugh. Even she had no intention of getting involved, yet these children truly were newborn calves unafraid of tigers.

"Rongrong, are you staying with me or with Zhu Zhuqing?"

Ning Jiao turned to Ning Rongrong, who had fallen silent again. As far as he was concerned, Ning Rongrong was most likely playing some sort of persona game again.

"No. This academy prohibits boys and girls from sharing a room."

Liu Erlong cast Ning Jiao a sidelong glance.

"If you dare follow those other Inner Court students' bad example, I'll..."

Liu Erlong paused. Even after lingering on that "I'll" for ages, she could not think of what she could do to him.

"Then you can leave. My little temple has no room for a great Buddha like you."

Liu Erlong's tone softened as she spoke quietly.

"Don't make things up!"

"Teacher, I, Ning Jiao, am pure as ice and jade. Ever since I was little, even seeing a girl has made me blush. How could I possibly commit the wicked deeds you're talking about!"

Ning Jiao planted one hand on his hip, his face full of indignation.

Zhu Zhuqing's vision darkened as she once again recalled Ning Jiao and Ning Rongrong's performance at the Rose Hotel.

"Hehe~"

"You? Pure as ice and jade?"

"Stop making your Sister Long laugh!"

Even Liu Erlong was amused by Ning Jiao's shamelessness, her proud curves heaving continuously.

Tang Lan lowered her head and repeated the phrase in her heart. She suddenly found herself rather fond of it.

Then from now on, I'll be Tang Lan, pure as ice and jade!

Tang Lan thought with a faint blush on her cheeks, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

Pop~

With a sound only Tang Lan could hear, she actually broke through the level-thirty bottleneck amid her whirlwind of thoughts!

"Then it's settled. Ning Jiao gets a room to himself, Rongrong stays with Zhu Zhuqing, and Tang Lan stays with Xiao Wu."

"As for the other Inner Court disciples, you'll meet them during training tomorrow."

Liu Erlong stopped joking and assigned the dorm rooms directly.

"Teacher, my Soul Power has broken through to level thirty!"

Tang Lan suddenly cried out in delight, tugging on Liu Erlong's arm.

"Damn, that fast!"

Ning Jiao exclaimed, suspicion entering his eyes.

Is this the butterfly effect, or... is the Asura God paving the way for his successor?

Ning Jiao sank into thought. He really was not too clear on the relationship between the Asura God and Tang Lan right now.

But as long as Tang Li completed one hundred consecutive victories and cleared Hell Road, the relationship between the Asura God and Tang Lan would inevitably surface!

The Titan Giant Ape plus the Clear Sky Hammer-as long as the Asura God was not blind, he would definitely notice.

If the Asura God did not bestow a Divine Test, that would mean Tang Lan's position as his successor had already been completely settled.
