The next day, Xiao Yexuan finally woke up from his lazy slumber at noon.
Tang San was truly captivating, having kept Xiao Yexuan thoroughly entertained throughout the night.
During the day, A'yin prepared a meal for him, far more delicious than anything Tang San had ever made.
Xiao Yexuan thoroughly enjoyed it, especially because A'yin, Tang San, and Xiao Wu were all present during the meal.
Xiao Wu had now seen Tang San's true colors and resolved to treat her as a stranger.
As for Xiao Yexuan, Xiao Wu no longer wished to die. Fortunately, he was no longer as harsh with her, which helped alleviate her fear of him.
As long as Xiao Wu followed Xiao Yexuan's rules, she could live comfortably here.
Xiao Yexuan didn't need to lift a finger during the meal. Tang San, A'yin, and the others fed him bite by bite.
While savoring the company of beautiful women and delicious food, Xiao Yexuan produced a drawing.
A'yin and Xiao Wu's eyebrows furrowed.
Xiao Wu recognized the two voluptuous women in the picture immediately. Her gaze turned to Tang San, filled with confusion and resentment.
The women in the drawing were none other than Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong.
It was the lewd drawing Tang San had made yesterday.
Only she and Tang San knew about Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing. Xiao Wu didn't need to think twice to know Tang San was behind this.
As for his motive, Xiao Wu couldn't guess the specifics, but after witnessing Tang San's despicable character, she knew he was definitely using Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.
Most likely, he was trying to harm them.
A'yin gently bit her lip. Xiao Yexuan was already seeking new women again. When would he ever pay more attention to her?
Alas, like fallen leaves scattered by the wind!
Was she, A'yin, destined to guard her lonely chamber forever?
"Hehe, my precious little San is truly thoughtful. Feeling this place was too quiet, she introduced me to two lovely sisters. I won't do anything else today. We'll head to Heaven Dou City later and pay a proper visit to Shrek Academy!" Xiao Yexuan chuckled, revealing Tang San's entire scheme.
After he finished speaking, A'yin and Xiao Wu glared even more fiercely at Tang San.
Although they had already suspected Tang San's involvement, voicing it aloud allowed them to better express their disdain.
Both of them longed to tear that detestable Tang San to shreds!
Tang San scoffed inwardly, convinced that A'yin and Xiao Wu were no match for her.
Her charm had kept Xiao Yexuan in her room all night.
She even had a plan to lure him out of the Sunset Forest and into Heaven Dou City.
Meanwhile, Xiao Wu and A'yin lived entirely under Xiao Yexuan's control, likely destined to remain that way for life.
"After you finish eating, tidy yourselves up. We'll be leaving soon."
"Okay, meow~! Master meow~!"
The three little cats each harbored their own thoughts, but their response to Xiao Yexuan's command was perfectly synchronized.
Don't ask how—practice makes perfect!
After the meal, Xiao Yexuan departed with the three beautifully dressed women.
Heaven Dou City wasn't far. At Xiao Yexuan's pace, they arrived before nightfall.
Heaven Dou City served as the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire.
From a distance, they could already see the flags fluttering atop the city walls.
As one of the continent's largest and most prosperous metropolises, Heaven Dou City's walls soared a hundred meters high.
Constructed entirely of the sturdiest granite, the walls were patrolled by fully armored soldiers wielding spears. The lethal aura emanating from these elite warriors spoke volumes of their combat prowess.
The towering city gate stood ten meters tall and ten meters wide, wide enough for six horses to ride abreast. Flanking it were two smaller gates, each five meters high and wide, through which pedestrians passed while the main gate remained firmly shut.
Xiao Yexuan, wanting to avoid drawing attention, led the three women through one of the side gates.
Naturally, Xiao Yexuan had no idea where Shrek Academy was located. But with Tang San and Xiao Wu by her side, who knew the academy well, she had no need to worry.
Tang San eagerly took the lead, a prospect that filled Xiao Wu with anxiety. She hoped Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and the others weren't at the academy.
Though Tang San had deceived her, making her more wary of humans, Xiao Wu's affection for Zhu Zhuqing and the others remained genuine.
Back then, when her identity was still unknown, no one would have coveted her soul bones and soul rings like Tang San now did.
Heaven Dou City was a bustling metropolis. All its streets were paved with blue bricks, each as wide as the main thoroughfare of Soto City. The city's sheer scale could only be described as magnificent.
Shrek Academy was formerly Blue Tyrant Academy. Liu Erlong truly lived up to her reputation as Douluo's resident romantic fool.
To rename her family's legacy after all these years for a useless man like Yu Xiaogang?
Had she even considered the feelings of the students currently enrolled?
What would happen to the graduates of Blue Tyrant Academy? When asked about their alma mater, would anyone even believe such a place existed?
Once Shrek Academy became powerful, who would believe the graduates of Blue Tyrant Academy when they tried to explain the connection between the two schools?
They'd surely be dismissed as graduates of some no-name academy trying to pass themselves off as Shrek Academy alumni.
What a joke! They'd be laughed out of existence!
As for whether anyone would bother to clarify the truth...
Given the Shrek Academy's reputation, who would waste their time on such trivial matters?
Arriving at the gates of Shrek Academy, Xiao Yexuan and his group were surprised to find the gatehouse resembling a miniature version of Heaven Dou City's city gates. Though much simpler in design, the entrance still stood ten meters tall.
The white jade gatehouse, while not extravagant, exuded an imposing aura. Five gilded characters emblazoned across its facade proclaimed: "Shrek Academy."
A gatekeeper stood guard, but he didn't recognize Xiao Yexuan or his companions.
Xiao Wu hadn't changed much, but she hadn't spent enough time at the academy to be remembered by the gatekeeper.
Tang San took the lead, producing the token Yu Xiaogang had given her. Upon seeing Yu Xiaogang's name, the gatekeeper granted Xiao Yexuan and his group entry.
Yu Xiaogang was the person Liu Erlong cared for most. Though he was just a mediocre soul master, anyone could see the deep affection both Liu Erlong and Flender held for him.
Shrek Academy has undergone a complete transformation.
With no one to stop them, Xiao Yexuan entered, A'yin and Xiao Wu on his arms, Tang San leading the way.
Stepping into Shrek Academy, Xiao Yexuan immediately noticed a stark contrast to Heaven Dou Royal Academy. While it lacked the mountain's scenic beauty, everything here exuded a grand, imposing aura.
A wide path stretched straight into the heart of the academy, flanked by dense forests. At the end lay a massive training field over two hundred meters in diameter, surrounded by three-story buildings.
If Heaven Dou Royal Academy was built into the mountainside, Shrek Academy had been carved out of the forest itself. The remaining grounds around the teaching buildings were entirely forested, reportedly the largest patch of greenery within Heaven Dou City.
Though the air lacked the crisp freshness of Sunset Forest, it buzzed with youthful vitality.
Xiao Yexuan surveyed the scene and decided he had no intention of destroying this place. Turning it into his personal garden seemed like an excellent idea.
