Cao Yu said to the two of them, "It takes a hundred years of cultivation to share a boat ride. I wish you a long and happy life together and many children!"
Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan both smiled and replied, "Thank you."
Then Ji Juechen didn't mince words and revealed the purpose of his visit to Cao Yu.
"We'll go with you when you leave in a few days."
Cao Yu asked again, "Have you decided?"
They both nodded in unison and said, "Yes, it's decided."
"Alright, once we arrive, don't worry about food and lodging; I'll take care of everything."
"Once you join the research institute, you'll naturally receive a monthly salary. After all, you'll need a lot of money to raise your child."
"Then thank you very much, Boss Cao, hehe." Jing Ziyan thanked him on behalf of Ji Juechen.
"Okay, that's settled then. You guys go and pack your things."
Several hours later.
The moon was already high in the sky that night.
At this time every day, Cao Yu would arrive at Ju Zi's dormitory on time.
The two were lying in bed, chatting with each other.
"I promised you'd come back and be my family's chef."
"That's it?" Ju Zi lay in his arms, her fingers drawing circles in front of him. "Why can't you go a little further?"
"Then how about becoming the mother of my child?"
"I don't think so." A glint flashed in Ju Zi's eyes, and a faint, mischievous smile appeared on her face.
"How about... now?" At the same time, she reached her hand under the covers.
"Naughty."
The day finally arrived when we were to leave the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy.
A considerable number of people had already arrived at the academy gate. In addition to the original group of Shrek exchange students, several more people had joined this time: Meng Hongchen, Ju Zi, Ke Ke, Jing Ziyan, and Ji Juechen.
Once again, Jing Hongchen was responsible for sending them back.
A short while later, a group of soldiers arrived from outside the arena, shouting, "His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"
It was obvious that they were the Imperial Guard of the Sun Moon Imperial Family, as they wore Soul Tool armor.
They appeared to be very disciplined, their steps were orderly, and they were flanked by guards on both sides.
The Crown Prince of the Sun Moon Empire slowly approached the crowd.
Jing Hongchen and all the teachers from the Soul Tool Academy rushed forward.
"Your Highness." Only Jing Hongchen bowed slightly in greeting, while the other teachers from the Soul Tool Academy prostrated themselves on the ground.
Finally, Jing Hongchen pushed his wheelchair to the Shrek members.
As the teacher leading the Shrek Academy team this time, Fan Yu clearly had no idea what they were up to.
"Teacher Fan Yu, let me introduce you. This is His Highness the Crown Prince, the first heir to the throne of our Sun Moon Empire."
"Your Highness, greetings." Fan Yu bowed slightly. Shrek Academy did not belong to any country, so he did not need to bow so deeply to the Crown Prince.
Cao Yu, who was in the crowd, naturally saw the so-called Crown Prince.
"Sitting in a wheelchair, it seems this is Xu Tianran."
Fan Yu asked Xu Tianran with some confusion, "Your Highness, what's going on?"
Xu Tianran smiled gently and said casually, "Oh, I heard from Hall Master Hongchen yesterday that your academy's exchange students have finished their studies."
"On behalf of the Sun Moon Empire, I've come to see you off. I hope that our Sun Moon Empire and your esteemed academy will have more exchanges in the future, thereby enhancing the friendship between us."
Although Fan Yu was somewhat surprised, she still said, "Your Highness is too kind."
He understood that these were just polite words, so he didn't take them seriously.
The most urgent task was to complete the handover as soon as possible, so he dared not delay any longer.
Finally, Jing Hongchen led the team and escorted them away from the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy.
Watching their departing figures, Xu Tianran felt that one of them was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't quite place who it was.
After leaving the Sun Moon Empire from Mingdu, the scenery behind them was soon left behind.
Jing Hongchen couldn't help but glare at Cao Yu with a sour expression. Cao Yu happened to be nearby, so she said to him, "You little brat, you're really something!"
" Meng Hongchen left with you, and you also poached the other three talents. What exactly are you trying to do?"
Cao Yu, however, said without any politeness, "Grandfather, we're all family now. Family doesn't need to be so formal. What's wrong with giving me some talent?"
"Why don't you join me, Grandfather? I have a very good relationship with the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire. I can get you a dukedom. What do you think?"
"You brat! Get out of my way, I'll settle this score with you later."
After flying for several hours, the group finally arrived at the place where they had originally met.
Opposite them was still the "kind-looking uncle" Yan Shaozhe. Jing Hongchen greeted him with the same insincere words as before, and then the two began to exchange their students.
Accompanying Yan Shaozhe this time was Xian Lin'er, the dean of the Soul Tool Department.
After the exchange was successful, Jing Hongchen did not linger and quickly left with his people.
Yan Shaozhe watched them disappear into the distant sky before turning his gaze back and smilingly surveying the trainees who had completed this exchange program.
"Welcome home, kids." He then waved and led them to a hotel not far away.
"Are you hungry? Let's have a good meal before we go back, there's no rush."
"Thank you, Dean!" After flying for several hours, everyone was indeed a bit hungry.
Xian Lin'er then approached Cao Yu, her beautiful eyes scanning him up and down.
A beautiful girl was nestled beside him, and another was secretly holding his hand, but Xian Lin'er saw them.
Xian Lin'er chuckled softly, " Boss Cao, it seems you're doing quite well over there."
Cao Yu said in a serious tone, "Not at all, it's alright."
"Don't let your romance distract you from your cultivation." Her words seemed to have a hidden meaning, but they had no effect on Cao Yu.
Because Ye Xiaosheng and Chen Beifeng spoke first, saying, " Dean Xian, you are unaware of this."
"Not only did Boss Cao win the heart of a beautiful woman, but he's also now Level 8 Soul Engineer."
"What?" Not only was Xian Lin'er shocked, but Yan Shaozhe was also as if he had seen a ghost.
They clearly remembered that Cao Yu was originally just Martial Soul Master, so how did he become an Level 8 Soul Engineer after going to the Sun Moon Empire?
It completely reshaped their worldview.
The Level 8 Soul Engineer badge he wore on his tie was genuine; clearly, what Ye Xiaosheng and the others said wasn't a lie.
" Cao Yu, you must have suffered a lot these past few years." The two deans' expressions became somewhat conflicted. After all, in their minds, to succeed in Soul Tool, one must definitely have to put in tremendous effort.
Suffering? Does studying and dating at the same time count as suffering?
If this counts, then nothing in the world is sweet.
So Cao Yu decided to answer honestly, saying, "I don't find it bitter at all; on the contrary, I'm living a very carefree life."
When the two deans looked at Meng Hongchen and Ju Zi, they instantly understood.
"That's true, after all, they've already won the hearts of their beloved."
The two deans then turned their gaze to Ye Xiaosheng, questioning, "Then why are you still single?"
Ye Xiaosheng and the others immediately stepped forward to complain, " Dean Yan, Dean Xian, we're suffering! We're suffering so much!"
