"Teacher... I remember there should still be a few days of vacation left, right?"
Shrek Academy, Sea God Island, Sea God Pavilion.
Yu Longyue looked at Yun Ming, who was beaming with satisfaction, with an expression of being forced to perform.
"Hmm, not bad, not bad. It's been three years since we last met, and you've improved a lot. Now you can finally stand on your own. The strange phenomenon that caused a sensation throughout Douluo Star a while ago, I suppose that was your doing?"
"Luckily, luckily." Yu Longyue silently shifted her gaze to the side. She had finished presenting the gifts, exchanging greetings, and meeting her aunt. Now it was time to get back to work.
"Alright, alright, I know you find it troublesome. We'll have a meeting later, and then we'll publicly confirm that you're the successor to the Sea God Pavilion Master. After that, we'll send you to military training." Yun Ming said cheerfully, raising his hand to pat Yu Longyue's strong shoulder.
"You have now become one of the strongest individuals in the world. I suppose no one in this world can threaten you anymore, not even me."
"Teacher, your praise is a bit excessive..."
"Not outrageous, not outrageous at all. Although your Soul Power Level is a bit low, the quality of your Soul Power is even better than mine, and your physical strength... tsk tsk tsk... I really want to know, besides Divine Artifact, who else can break through your body?"
Yun Ming teased Yu Longyue with a playful smile.
"Moreover, your marksmanship and domain skills have improved by leaps and bounds, right? I'm afraid even if Limit Douluo were to fight you in a domain battle, you would definitely win."
"It's nothing special, I wouldn't presume to say so."
"Don't be modest, everyone's almost here, we're off to a meeting. Here's some good news: your military training won't start anytime soon. You'll have at least a month off. Are you ready?"
Yu Longyue was greatly encouraged.
That's definitely good news.
I like.
"However, you still need to come regularly this month to learn gun techniques from me, so I can see how well you've improved. Also... you need to catch up in your secondary profession as soon as possible, otherwise how will you make your Four-Word Battle Armor? And..."
Yu Longyue's expression instantly crumbled.
Teacher, please stop reading! It feels like I'm being restrained. I want some free time...
The meeting is over.
He's half-crippled.
They talked from day to night, and finally the process was completed. He is now the successor. After returning from military training, he will officially become the Sea God Pavilion Master.
Yu Longyue could never have imagined that these people could be so talkative.
Dragging it out...
Yu Longyue yawned, then glanced at the time. Teacher Yun Ming's lesson was scheduled for around 10 p. m... It was only 8 p. m. now, enough time for her to have a meal.
After thinking about it, I made a phone call and asked Tang Wulin to come over.
See if he's free.
After all, I was pressed for time.
Tang Wulin quickly indicated that he was free and was even in the inner courtyard cafeteria.
After receiving the message, Yu Longyue rubbed her slightly hungry stomach.
I'll just go over there for a meal.
Entering the inner courtyard dining hall, ignoring the strange looks from those around her, Yu Longyue practically attracted everyone's attention. Finally, she found the current Shrek Seven Devils and the adult Tang Wulin at the very back.
With his black hair flowing in the wind and his hair falling loosely on his back, Tang Wulin had an extremely handsome face, long eyelashes, and clear eyes that seemed like a bottomless cold pool.
The moment Tang Wulin saw Yu Longyue, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he even raised his hand in greeting.
" Brother Yue, over here, over here!"
This guy is really handsome.
Yu Longyue sighed, completely ignoring the strange looks the girls in the cafeteria were giving her, and strode forward, while whispers began to circulate around her.
"Who is he? When did such a handsome guy appear in the inner courtyard?"
"I don't know. I've been in the inner courtyard for so long, and I don't even know anyone like that. Oh, he even knows the Shrek Seven Devils."
"Could it be the mysterious captain of the Shrek Seven Devils in this generation? We haven't seen him show his face in the past three years."
"To be honest, I still think Huo Haodong graduated too early. With his strength, becoming the captain of the Shrek Seven Devils would have been a piece of cake. How come he graduated and went to the Spirit Pagoda without even sparring with the opponent..."
"Get out of here, you Huo fanboy..."
Yu Longyue overheard these words by chance and was speechless.
Goodness gracious... Huo Yuhao has gained so many fans in the inner courtyard!
However, given his abilities, that's quite simple.
A scream then echoed throughout the cafeteria, interrupting Yu Longyue's thoughts.
"Ah! Boss! You're finally back--"
Xie Xie, now an adult, dressed in a black suit, rushed forward and hugged Yu Longyue tightly, refusing to let go no matter what.
The five kids who came all the way from Eastsea City are him, Gu Yue, Xie Xie, Tang Wulin, and Xu Xiaoyan, so their relationship is definitely better.
"Waaaaah, boss, I miss you so much! Since you left, we haven't had a single decent operation to hunt down Evil Soul Master, and without your personal guidance, I feel like my skill improvement has slowed down..."
Yu Longyue was sweating profusely and quickly pushed Xie Xie away.
"You're such a grown-up, can't you stop acting like a child? It makes me sound like I like men..."
"Boss, you know what, we've never seen you have any scandals or anything like that. And we've heard you were trained by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, so you wouldn't actually be—"
Poor Xie Xie had only been meeting Yu Longyue for a few seconds when he was knocked to the ground by a punch.
Seeing that Xie Xie, whose Martial Soul had awakened to the Space-Time Dragon and whose cultivation had reached level seventy-one, and who was still clad in Two-Word Battle Armor, had been so easily defeated, Yue Zhengyu immediately stood at attention.
"Ahem, welcome back, boss!"
Ye Xinglan silently took a sip of tea, then stood up with the other companions to greet their Shrek Seven Monsters captain.
After a brief reminiscing, Yu Longyue learned about the current cultivation levels of the other Shrek Seven Monsters.
Xie Xie's Martial Soul has reached the Space-Time Dragon level, level 71.
Yuanen Yehui was only level 68, and Xie Xie immediately pulled ahead of her.
The cultivation levels of everyone else were between 68 and 71, with Xie Xie, whom the Shrek Seven Monsters Devils bullied, having the highest cultivation level among all participants.
This made Yu Longyue raise an eyebrow:
How did you improve so quickly?
"Hmph!" Xie Xie crossed his arms and raised his head arrogantly. "In order to win over my Yuanen, I worked hard every day, striving to improve myself. With the cultivation methods you taught me before, I successfully merged my Twin Martial Souls into one, Martial Soul Second Awakening, and became a true dragon. I now possess the handsome and dashing Space-Time Dragon Martial Soul, which gave me a huge boost."
"Now, I'm the highest-ranking player in the team, oh hahaha--"
Yu Longyue decided not to look at this smug and silly guy again.
"Let's see what you're capable of... Wait until the boss organizes another operation to hunt down Evil Soul Master, and you'll behave yourself once my cultivation surpasses yours." Yue Zhengyu said somewhat unhappily, after all, the fastest way for a Holy Angel to improve their cultivation is to purify Evil Soul Master.
As for Xu Lizhi, he continued to watch the commotion with a simple, honest smile, without saying a word.
Xu Xiaoyan looked at Yu Longyue and couldn't help but ask, "By the way, Captain, did you come back because you knew that the Sea God's Fate Blind Date Event was about to start at the academy?"
"Um, well, I only came back because of arrangements made by the academy and my family. I haven't heard of it." Yu Longyue touched her nose, somewhat unimpressed.
"So, Captain, will you participate?" Xu Xiaoyan with a grin.
"No way, what would I do here?" Yu Longyue asked, looking puzzled. "I don't need the Sea God's blessing."
After all, he had already received a blessing from the Dragon Clan.
Yu Longyue silently recited this in her heart, then picked up her teacup and took a sip of tea.
Who could have predicted that Xu Xiaoyan something so surprising the next moment:
"Oh? That's a pity. I was hoping to take advantage of this matchmaking event to confess my feelings to the team leader."
"Puff--"
"Ah???"
Upon hearing this, Yu Longyue spat out the tea she had just drunk, while Yue Zhengyu felt as if the sky had fallen.
The people standing nearby burst into laughter, their stomachs aching from laughing so hard.
" Xu Xiaoyan, you..." Yue Zhengyu's expression became extremely interesting, alternating between purple and green, his feelings were incredibly complicated.
"Are you stupid?" Ye Xinglan said calmly from the side. "How can you take this seriously? Where's your brain?"
"Oh, right." Yue Zhengyu finally realized what he meant and quickly breathed a sigh of relief; he had been quite frightened...
"What's going on? Wait, I just got back, don't play pranks on me." Yu Longyue started wiping up the tea she had sprayed out.
"Oh, it wasn't really a prank, since it's a true story," Xu Xiaoyan admitted directly. "But that's all in the past, Captain. You're not sad about losing a fan, are you?"
"That's good." Yu Longyue breathed a huge sigh of relief, almost thinking she was a sinner.
Yue Zhengyu asked warily, "Before?"
"Before, it was Boss who took Xu Xiaoyan around Eastsea City, along with me, Tang Wulin, and Gu Yue. Boss helped us a lot, so it's normal to have some feelings for her, right?" Xie Xie rolled his eyes. "On the contrary, if you, the newcomer, dare to bully Xu Xiaoyan, Boss, Wulin, and I will definitely not let you off the hook."
Yue Zhengyu's expression turned strange. "The way you're saying that makes it seem like you're also interested in the boss..."
Upon hearing this, Xie Xie suddenly sighed:
"If only the boss were a woman, I wouldn't care about Yuanen, I'd just—"
Before he could finish speaking, he received another punch and fell fast asleep.
Being young is great.
"Why are you so cheeky? It's one thing for you to have a grudge against Gu Yue, but now you're making a grudge against me too?"
Yu Longyue's facial muscles twitched. What do you mean, "It would be so much better if he were a woman"?
"This guy... ever since he reached level 71, he's been incredibly mischievous..." Yuanen raised his hand to cover his face, turning his head away as if he didn't want to recognize him. "It's a good thing you're back, Captain, otherwise there would be no one to deal with him."
"Oh, by the way, I heard he also spread some terrible rumors about you, and now everyone knows about it." Yue Zhengyu seemed to remember something and suppressed a laugh.
At this moment, the people around seemed to remember something. They were initially amazed that another handsome guy had appeared in the cafeteria, but the next second, after recognizing Yu Longyue's identity, they all kept their distance, their expressions showing a hint of surprise.
The men, in particular, ran even faster, disappearing completely.
Even Yu Longyue was completely baffled.
"What?"
Yue Zhengyu said with an honest and simple expression, "He said you're gay, and the reason you're still single is because you like men. Quite a few people in the inner courtyard had already forgotten about you, but now, boss, you've become a star."
"Thank you, Xie!!!"
