As Cai Yue'er finished speaking, everyone stopped laughing and began to line up seriously to prepare to board the ship.

A gentle sea breeze carries the scent of the ocean.

During the boarding process, there was a group of people dressed in white school uniforms, with an average age of seventeen or eighteen.

When they saw the Shrek Academy students in their green school uniforms, they pointed and whispered among themselves, seemingly discussing something.

Fortunately, Yu Longyue and Gu Yue rarely wear these incredibly ugly school uniforms.

Yu Longyue usually wears the same white clothes, and Gu Yue also wears the same white dress.

Who would actually wear such an ugly school uniform when they have nothing better to do?

Xie Xie couldn't bear it any longer; with his level 49 cultivation, he could hear everything perfectly clearly.

"Those must be the students from the Star Luo Royal Academy, right?"

Yue Zhengyu fiddled with his long, slender fingers, looking completely nonchalant.

"It's one thing to talk behind our backs, but if they dare to cross us, we'll deal with them. I'm Soul King now, and Battle Armor Master. I refuse to believe I can't take them down."

In the fight against the Holy Spirit Cult, Yue Zhengyu purified many Evil Soul Master, finally breaking through the Soul Ancestor level and reaching the Soul King level.

In return, the family bestowed upon him the finest Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Spirit.

A sixteen-year-old Soul King is already quite outstanding, provided he isn't compared to Yu Longyue.

Are you kidding me? Soul Saint at fifteen? That's a bit too outrageous. Even cheating wouldn't go that far.

Xie Xie pursed his lips, disdainful of Yue Zhengyu's words. "Even if you're Soul King, I reckon you alone wouldn't be enough to defeat them."

"Stop causing trouble and behave yourself." Yuanen Yehui glared at Xie Xie.

Yue Zhengyu smugly gestured with his chin. "See? Our class monitor still sides with her classmates. You, an outsider, dare to pursue our class monitor? Be careful, our class monitor might not be so polite to you!"

Yuanen Yehui glanced at him as well. "You two are equally bad, neither of you should criticize the other, you're acting like you're some kind of saint."

"..."

This time, Xie Xie into laughter, looking at Yue Zhengyu with a gloating expression.

"See that? See that? My Yuanen still loves me the most~"

Yuanen Yehui instantly went berserk. "Shut up!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Lizhi, who was standing behind, chuckled sheepishly. Ye Xinglan said calmly:

"Bored and miserable, aren't they, these two?"

"You could say we're out here, everyone's really letting loose," Yu Longyue remarked. "How can we be bored on vacation?"

"Although you're usually quite busy, Brother Yue, we don't even have time to rest," Tang Wulin couldn't help but say. "It's either cultivation, making Battle Armor, then sparring matches, practical training, classes... sigh."

"When can we carry out another operation to combat Evil Soul Master?" Ye Xinglan was itching to do it, and she had to admit that carrying out such operations was the fastest way for her to improve her strength.

Especially after seeing that Yue Zhengyu had reached the Soul King, she became even more diligent.

"Well..." Yu Longyue said, indicating she didn't want to work overtime, "It depends on how much those Evil Soul Master on the Star Luo Continent dare to show themselves after seeing us."

After boarding the ship and receiving their room keys, a somewhat sarcastic voice sounded behind Tang Wulin and the others.

" Shrek Academy's uniforms are really ugly. How can you guys stand them?"

Everyone turned around and saw that the students of the Star Luo Royal Academy, who were wearing white school uniforms, whom they had seen earlier, had come up.

There were twelve people in total, all of whom looked several years older than them, probably between nineteen and twenty years old, eight men and four women, and they all gathered around.

The one speaking was the short boy standing at the very front.

As for the others, the women were all staring intently at Yu Longyue in the group, while the men were also gritting their teeth as they looked at Yu Longyue.

They were very impressed with this guy; in the short time he was on the ship, he attracted the attention of countless women.

Although I don't know how strong he is, just based on that face, even without any Soul Power, he would have plenty of women supporting him.

"Hey, where did this little brat come from? What are you doing up here?" Yue Zhengyu was just looking for some fun. "Didn't your mom call you home for dinner?"

The short boy paused for a moment:

"What's the meaning?"

Yue Zhengyu smiled broadly, "Good boy, your mom's calling you home for dinner, aren't you going home?"

"Who are you calling a little brat?" He was the first to object, rushing forward and dashing in front of Yue Zhengyu, ramming his chest into him.

Yue Zhengyu neither dodged nor avoided the collision, letting their chests collide. The shorter youth had jumped up to crash into him, and in the instant of impact, he felt as if he had hit a metal plate, his body falling back two steps.

Yue Zhengyu remained completely still, as steady as a mountain.

The difference in skill is immediately apparent; the gap in strength is obvious.

"Is this the etiquette you Star Luo Empire people use when greeting strangers for the first time? How strange, how novel." As he spoke, Yue Zhengyu glanced curiously at the four female students of the Star Luo Royal Academy, especially looking towards the location of the giant mountain.

"Do girls follow the same etiquette as you? If so, I'm really looking forward to it! Shall we all do it? If not, I'll just go up to them myself."

Yu Longyue raised her hand to her forehead, too lazy to even glance at this pointless conflict, and left with Gu Yue.

"Hey, you're Soul King, and One-Word Battle Armor Master too. I believe you can take on twelve at once. Good luck." Xie Xie patted him on the shoulder and then turned to leave.

Yue Zhengyu's expression stiffened for a moment. No matter how powerful he was, he couldn't possibly take on twelve people by himself.

He knew the story of how many ants could kill an elephant.

So he looked at Huo Yuhao, who had always been a kind-hearted person, and prayed that he could help him.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao silently took out his phone, turned and left, seemingly talking to someone.

"Hey Mom, I miss you. Come home for the holidays this year."

"Wait, are we not on the same team anymore? You guys are heartless!" Yue Zhengyu's expression changed slightly, and the twelve men surrounded him with unfriendly looks...

Yu Longyue and Gu Yue had returned to their cabins. Their rooms were next to each other, and both of them were quite mature for their age, so they were clearly not very interested in the minor conflicts outside.

A moment later, an announcement came over the loudspeaker.

"Welcome aboard the Star Luo ocean liner! Tonight we will be hosting a grand reception to welcome you all. Please dress up for the occasion. This will be a social event to promote lasting friendship between our two continents. We will also be having some fun games, and everyone is welcome to participate."

Yu Longyue and Gu Yue exchanged a glance.

"Are you going to participate?"

Yu Longyue paused for a moment, then shook her head.

"To be honest, I've participated in these kinds of events countless times. I've even taken a long vacation to come here for leisure. Why would I have to go with such a shameless attitude?"

"Are you going? If you are, I can go with you."

"Forget it, if you don't want to go, then I won't go either. There's nothing to do with it," Gu Yue said indifferently, then glanced at his room door. "Why are our rooms next to each other?"

"Perhaps this is fate," Yu Longyue shrugged.

Gu Yue tilted her head and looked him over. "If you're not going to participate, what are you going to do?"

"Lying in bed and scrolling through my phone is better than participating in these meaningless social activities," Yu Longyue said dejectedly.

"Go brush your teeth on the balcony, the view is nice there." After saying this, Gu Yue went into her room.

"?"

Yu Longyue turned around and went into her room, where she took a nice, relaxing shower before heading to the balcony.

Night had already fallen, and the lights on the Star Luo ocean liner gradually illuminated, making the massive hull look like a dream.

A gentle sea breeze brought the unique freshness and tranquility of the ocean. Yu Longyue leaned back on the deck chair on the balcony, scrolling through her phone, occasionally glancing up at the distant horizon, enjoying this rare moment of peace.

I must say, the scenery is truly beautiful.

It gives people a very comfortable and peaceful feeling.

This allowed Yu Longyue, who hadn't taken a break in ages, to quietly enjoy her vacation.

"Not bad, right?"

Right next to his balcony, Gu Yue was also standing on his own balcony, looking at Yu Longyue with a smile.

"Yes, it's really good." Yu Longyue looked up at Gu Yue, and the two smiled at each other.

"I'm usually busy with cultivation and missions, so I rarely have the chance to relax like this." Gu Yue leaned against the railing, letting the sea breeze blow through her long hair.

"Indeed, sometimes you really need to give yourself a break." Yu Longyue stretched. "But to be honest, I've forgotten what relaxation feels like."

Gu Yue nodded, and the next moment, her figure swayed slightly, and she appeared on Yu Longyue's balcony.

"You're cheating," Yu Longyue said with a smile, shaking her head.

"What, you're not allowed?" Gu Yue raised an eyebrow, dragged the recliner next to Yu Longyue, and then sat down comfortably.

The two lay side by side on the recliners. Gu Yue took out her phone, turned on a recently popular TV series, and handed Yu Longyue an earphone.

"Want to watch it together? It's a good way to pass the time when you're bored," Gu Yue asked.

"You're still watching dramas?" Yu Longyue took the earphones and joined Gu Yue in watching the drama on their phones.

As she watched, Yu Longyue suppressed the urge to complain about the melodramatic plot and silently reached out to help Gu Yue hold her phone.

After watching for an unknown amount of time, Yu Longyue suddenly felt a weight on his shoulder. He turned his head and saw that Gu Yue had leaned on his shoulder and fallen into a deep sleep.

Her breathing was steady and gentle, and a faint smile graced her face, as if she had encountered something happy in her dream.

The fragrance emanating from Gu Yue was a faint, natural scent, like orchids and musk, mixed with the refreshing smell of her shampoo, giving one a sense of tranquility.

Yu Longyue didn't move, letting Gu Yue rest her head on his shoulder. He continued looking at his phone, but his attention was no longer entirely on the plot; he would only glance at Gu Yue from time to time.

The sea breeze continued to caress them gently, and the stars in the sky twinkled, shining on the two quiet figures. Everything around them seemed to slow down, as if afraid to disturb the tranquility of the moment.

However, the event that caused Yu Longyue's heart to stop still occurred.

A message popped up on his phone.

"Young Sect Master, there are assassins on the ship. We've spotted a Soul Saint- level Soul Master lurking suspiciously outside your room."

Yu Longyue's lips twitched, barely suppressing her anger.

Are we even allowed to slack off?!
