By the time Bai Yu returned, Ah Yin was already immersed in cultivation. He didn't disturb her, instead building a bonfire nearby and starting to roast a tiger.
When Ah Yin woke up again, the moon in the sky was already high, and Bai Yu was lying on the ground, his arms pillowing his head, gazing at the sky.
"I… I've adapted to the aura here. How will you help me next?"
Hearing Ah Yin's voice, Bai Yu stood up, stretched, and said to her:
"Just focus on refining your spirit power. Of course, if you have any extra energy, you can also use your Domain to communicate with the Blue Silver Grass here and let them lend you a hand."
Ah Yin's illusory human form opened and closed her mouth several times, wanting to say something, but in the end, she only whispered:
"Okay, I understand…"
Bai Yu naturally knew what she was struggling with, but no matter how much she struggled, she had to recover first, right?
Immediately, Bai Yu's spirit power surged as he released his Domain to its maximum range, letting out a low shout:
"Yin Yang rotates, Four Symbols gather, all things grow!"
In an instant, Bai Yu's Yin Yang Domain materialized, forming a giant Tai Chi diagram in the sky, enveloping the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, then slowly began to rotate.
The surrounding power of heaven and earth was transformed into spirit power and vitality, injecting into Ah Yin's body.
Ah Yin also released her Domain, communicating with the Blue Silver Grass in the valley, transmitting power to them, using them to refine, and then absorbing it back.
Another blue light appeared in the valley. Although the surrounding Blue Silver Grass had no intelligence, their instinctive excitement was something even Bai Yu could feel.
It could be said that everyone benefited and had a bright future, but according to the law of conservation of energy, if someone gained, someone had to lose…
Bai Yu watched as Ah Yin, along with her younger clan members, formed a massive energy intake and output cycle, and couldn't help but twitch his mouth, cursing under his breath:
"Damn it, you're trying to kill me with exhaustion! This is starting to become difficult to supply!"
He then took a deep breath, increasing his spirit power output. The Tai Chi diagram in the sky rotated even faster, while he cursed internally:
"Damn it, this spirit power consumption rate is faster than fighting a rat!"
"Forget it, no pain, no gain; only then can I hook a wife. Who told me I like this kind of thing? Mengde has truly harmed me!"
Time slowly passed. After more than half an hour, Bai Yu dispersed his power, his face ashen, like a zombie.
He turned and moved step by step towards the small house Dugu Bo had built before, speaking as he walked.
"Not bad, she's recovered another twenty thousand years. She's already at eighty thousand years of cultivation. One more time tomorrow, and that should be enough. I'll go rest first; you adapt well!"
Ah Yin looked at Bai Yu swaying with each step, feeling a mix of amusement and helplessness. Her mind was a mess as she muttered to herself:
"What should I do? I haven't even figured out how to get revenge, and I owe this scoundrel Bai Yu countless favors. How can I repay them? Does he really want me to give him another son…!"
Before she could finish, Ah Yin's illusionary figure exploded, turning into blue light particles that shrunk back into her Blue Silver Emperor main body. Even her main body trembled.
Bai Yu really had no time to care about Ah Yin's thoughts. He was now lying on the bed like a corpse.
Just as he was about to rest, he remembered that he hadn't updated his notes for the day. He let out a wail and quickly scribbled some random things.
Then he placed his hands on his chest, a smile on his face, and closed his eyes, loving the feeling of being at peace in the grave…
The next day at noon, after once again experiencing the pain of being drained, Bai Yu lay weakly on the ground.
Looking at Ah Yin, who had transformed into a giant cocoon, entirely golden with blue patterns, a relieved smile appeared on his pale face.
"It's finally done! It was so hard! Satisfying a small hobby is truly too difficult!"
Bai Yu mumbled to himself, bathed in the sunlight, and slowly died… fell asleep!
In the evening, he was awakened by a strong spirit power fluctuation. Opening his eyes, he saw the giant cocoon emitting golden light.
The corners of his mouth curved slightly upwards, and he stood up, waiting for Ah Yin to break out of her cocoon.
After a while, the giant cocoon slowly disappeared, replaced by a woman in a blue and gold long dress. Her gentle and beautiful face, combined with her perfect figure, made even Cao Thief exclaim.
Bai Yu licked his lips, walked forward, and embraced her, saying:
"We finally meet! All my effort wasn't in vain! To celebrate our meeting, come, give me a kiss!"
"Mmph!!!"
Ah Yin's newly opened eyes instantly widened. The three questions of life surfaced in her mind: Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do?
By the time Ah Yin reacted, her face was already flushed red from being held. She quickly turned her head away, gasping for air.
Bai Yu smacked his lips, savoring the taste, and looked at Ah Yin with a smile.
"Why do you always forget that your nose is for breathing? It's so strange!"
Hearing Bai Yu tease her, the red on Ah Yin's face turned rose-red. She raised her hand and pinched his waist, twisting it back and forth, and cursed:
"You're absolutely shameless! You're right, I should seek revenge on you! I should hang you from a tree and strangle you! To prevent you from harming people everywhere!"
Bai Yu was pinched somewhat painfully. He bent down and gave Ah Yin a princess carry, then turned and walked towards the small house, saying casually:
"Alright, alright, no problem, I agree to you seeking revenge on me. Stop pinching for now, it'll be bruised soon!"
Ah Yin didn't pay attention at first, but when Bai Yu carried her into the house, she suddenly startled, thinking, 'Oh no, I'm going to be… opened!'
But it was too late to run now. She had already been laid down, and her spirit power was suppressed. She could only start babbling incoherently.
"Bai Yu, no, you can't do this. Let go of me first. We haven't understood each other yet. I still have to seek revenge. I already have a son… Mmph!"
Bai Yu lowered his head and covered Ah Yin's mouth with his own. His hands began to explore. After struggling without success, Ah Yin also let him do as he pleased.
When Ah Yin completely softened, Bai Yu leaned into her ear and whispered:
"From the moment you decided to come out with me, you couldn't escape. Moreover, during this time, even though you knew I had ill intentions towards you, you didn't run and actually stayed by my side."
"If I were to let you go, it would not only be unfair to myself but even more unfair to you!"
Hearing Bai Yu's voice, the somewhat dazed Ah Yin suddenly widened her eyes and gritted her teeth at Bai Yu.
"So, according to you, this is my own fault?"
Bai Yu nodded, a look of agreement on his face, and said:
"Exactly. But it's not 'your own fault'; it should be 'following your heart'!"
Looking at Bai Yu's shameless expression, Ah Yin was somewhat speechless. She could only hatefully spit out two words:
"Shameless!"
Bai Yu smiled, his hands not stopping, and said:
"Heh heh, you're talking nonsense. Don't you know whether I have teeth or not?"
Ah Yin didn't want to deal with this scoundrel. She closed her eyes and turned her head away.
Bai Yu narrowed his eyes, sniffed Ah Yin's long blue hair, and gently untied her clothes.
"Mmm~"
Though the phoenix has no wings to fly in pairs, the hearts beat as one, understanding each other with a single glance.
The next morning, Bai Yu looked at Ah Yin lying in his arms, his expression full of lingering pleasure.
"As expected of the Blue Silver Emperor, it's like drilling a well; one drill, one splash. Only one word can describe it: truly, incredibly moist!"
Ah Yin heard Bai Yu's muttering and slowly opened her eyes, still a bit dazed.
Once she was fully awake, she opened her mouth and bit Bai Yu's arm, her face showing a mix of shame, anger, and bewilderment.
Bai Yu winced from the bite, reached out, and pinched Ah Yin's plump, round buttocks, threatening her, "Let go of me, and I'll let go of you. Let's not hurt each other, alright?"
Ah Yin completely ignored his threat. Anyway, he had already touched everything he shouldn't have, so it didn't matter!
Bai Yu chuckled, exerted force, and flipped her over so Ah Yin was facing away from him.
"Not letting go, huh? Then let's do some morning exercises to get you excited!"
"Don't, mm-hmm~"
As soon as Ah Yin sensed something was wrong, she was again at Bai Yu's mercy and could only cover her mouth, whimpering.
It wasn't until noon that the two got up, got ready, and began to leave the valley, heading towards Heaven Dou City.
Ah Yin followed behind Bai Yu, sometimes gritting her teeth as she looked at his back, and other times, thinking of seeing Tang San, her face showed a complex expression.
Bai Yu also felt the angry gaze behind him, his expression helpless, and he thought to himself, "Ah Yin, I don't want to do this, but if I don't, and if you suddenly become more infatuated and your maternal love overflows after we go back, won't I lose everything, even my underwear?"
"Only by taking you down first can I make you understand that you can't go back and can only follow me from now on!"
Then Bai Yu stopped, turned, and looked at Ah Yin.
She was still thinking about what to do later and wasn't looking where she was going, so she bumped right into Bai Yu's arms.
After bumping into him, Ah Yin looked up at Bai Yu, bewildered. Just as she was about to ask, Bai Yu interrupted her.
"Walking like this is too slow. I'll fly you back. Don't think about those things anymore. You are a new person now; you can bid farewell to the past!"
Then Bai Yu put his arm around Ah Yin's waist and soared into the air.
Ah Yin leaned in Bai Yu's embrace, her expression complex, and she murmured, "Bid farewell to the past...?"
...
When the two returned to Shrek Academy and were about to go to the dining hall for a meal, they ran into Flender, who had a livid face and hurried steps.
Bai Yu raised an eyebrow and greeted Flender, "Dean, where are you rushing off to? Did something happen?"
Flender turned his head and looked over. Seeing it was Bai Yu, he let out a bitter laugh.
"Bai Xiaozi, you're back. Something happened with Xiaogang. I'm just... Who is this next to you?"
At this moment, Flender noticed that there was an extremely beautiful blue-haired woman next to Bai Yu.
Bai Yu waved his hand, chuckling softly. "Heh heh, this is a teacher I found for the academy, and she's also my woman. Her name is Ah Yin."
Flender's face lit up with a smile when he heard Bai Yu had brought his woman to be a teacher.
"Miss Ah Yin, hello, hello. I am the Dean of Shrek Academy, Flender."
Ah Yin's face flushed with shyness. She hadn't expected Bai Yu to introduce her like that; she was so embarrassed she almost wanted to dig a three-bedroom, one-living-room hole.
She reached out and pinched Bai Yu's arm, then said to Flender, "Hello, Dean. You can just call me by my name from now on. No need to be so polite."
Flender was about to exchange a few more pleasantries when he suddenly slapped his head, remembering he had urgent business to attend to. He hurriedly said to Bai Yu, "Oh, right, Bai Xiaozi, you've returned at just the right time. Xiaogang and Erlong somehow got into a conflict, and Erlong, in a fit of rage, broke all five of Xiaogang's limbs."
"If I hadn't arrived in time, he might have been beaten to death. You quickly go see if you can heal him. I still need to find the academy's healing Spirit Master!"
Bai Yu blinked, his expression a bit surprised. "Grandmaster had all four... five limbs broken!? Then I must go and see quickly. How rare!"
Before Flender could tell Bai Yu where he was, he immediately released his Domain perception, and then his figure vanished instantly.
Flender's mouth hung open, speechless. Ah Yin saw Bai Yu disappear so quickly, shook her head helplessly, and then said to Flender, "Then, Dean, you go ahead and be busy. I'll go over and take a look too. I also know some healing Spirit Abilities."
Flender nodded blankly. He hadn't expected Bai Yu to be so excited. Was Yu Xiaogang really that disliked by him?
Outside Liu Erlong's dormitory, a group of people were gathered in a circle, chatting enthusiastically.
"Quick, quick, everyone move aside, make some space for me!"
Everyone turned their heads and saw Bai Yu stretching his neck to peer inside from outside the circle.
"Bai Ge! You're back? You don't know, Grandmaster was just crippled by Dean Liu."
"Good heavens, half the academy heard Dean Liu's angry roar, a 'Yu Xiaogang, you deserve to die!' that made my ears hurt!"
Before anyone else could speak, Ma Hongjun, who loved a good show, jumped out and described everything to Bai Yu.
With his exaggerated gestures and uncontrollably excited expression, Bai Yu couldn't help but sigh, 'Now this is a true spectator!'
When Bai Yu squeezed inside, he saw Yu Xiaogang lying on the ground in pain, with Tang San squatting beside him, expressionlessly setting his bones.
He scanned the surroundings and asked, "Where's Dean Liu? Why isn't she here?"
Zhao Wuji was stifling a laugh beside him. He was the second person to arrive after Flender and was very clear about what had happened on the scene.
"Cough, cough, after Flender rescued Grandmaster, Dean Liu left. I don't know where she went."
Yu Xiaogang, hearing Bai Yu's voice, turned his head and stared at him, his eyes filled with burning anger.
Bai Yu ignored Yu Xiaogang's fury, walked closer, looked between his legs, and made a tsk-tsk sound.
"Tsk, tsk, good heavens, it's even a bit caved in. Grandmaster, you're a true man. You can endure this without fainting?"
Bai Yu's words made Yu Xiaogang tremble violently, his old face twitching, and he let out a hoarse growl, "Bai! Yu!"
Bai Yu waved his hand at Yu Xiaogang, suppressing a laugh, and said, "Don't get excited! I'll restore your injuries first, but your precious thing can't be saved; it's shattered."
"But it's not bad; at least it can help you make up your mind to focus on cultivation from now on!"
Yu Xiaogang's eyes bulged. He opened his mouth to say something but started foaming at the mouth, then tilted his head back and fainted.
Everyone else looked at Bai Yu with strange expressions. What was going on? Weren't the injuries inflicted by Dean Liu? Why did Grandmaster hate Bai Yu so much?
Zhao Wuji looked at Bai Yu, who was releasing his fifth Spirit Ability, smacked his lips, and asked in confusion, "Bai Xiaozi, what's going on? Why did you just say Grandmaster lost his precious thing and can now focus on cultivation?"
Everyone knew that Yu Xiaogang had been healed these past two days, and the only person with that ability was Bai Yu.
Although no one knew why Bai Yu would heal Yu Xiaogang, looking at the current situation, there was clearly a problem between the two of them!
