After the interlude, everything returned to calm.
A few days later, the carriage arrived back at Blue Tyrant Academy.
Since it had been several days since she had been home, Ning Rongrong reluctantly followed Sword Douluo back, planning to return the next day when classes started.
Dugu Bo, on the other hand, went straight back to his mansion.
He even told Xiao Yu to bring Dugu Yan back for dinner that night!
Yu Luomian also returned to his family to report on what he had seen and heard during the trip.
After that, Xiao Yu brought Zhu Zhuqing, Meng Yiran, and Xiao Wu to Liu Erlong's small wooden cabin.
When Liu Erlong saw that Xiao Yu had brought back three more beauties after going out to hunt for soul rings, she couldn't help but feel a bit helpless.
This kid, just going out for a trip and bringing back three more beauties...
However, Liu Erlong didn't object to this.
After all, after the battles they had fought recently, Liu Erlong felt that even she was having a hard time keeping up with Xiao Yu.
Adding Dugu Yan to the mix was just right, but Xiao Yu was still young and hadn't reached the peak of his strength yet.
So, having a few more people to share the burden might not be a bad idea.
When Dugu Yan heard that Xiao Yu had returned, she immediately rushed over.
The moment she saw Xiao Yu, she threw herself into his arms.
Seeing that everyone was present, Xiao Yu called them all into the room and began introducing them to each other.
When Xiao Wu's identity as a 100,000-year spirit beast was revealed, Liu Erlong was shocked.
With her Soul Douluo strength, she hadn't been able to tell that Xiao Wu was a 100,000-year spirit beast in human form.
It was only later that she learned the reason: Xiao Yu had given Xiao Wu a flower that could conceal her spirit beast aura.
This was how Xiao Wu's identity had been hidden.
That was why Liu Erlong, as a Soul Douluo, hadn't been able to detect it.
This flower had also been obtained from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
After everyone introduced themselves, Liu Erlong arranged rooms for Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran.
Their rooms were next to Dugu Yan's, one for each of them.
This was convenient for them... and also for Xiao Yu.
As for Xiao Wu, she naturally stayed close to Xiao Yu.
That night, after helping everyone settle in, Dugu Yan didn't return to her room. Instead, she followed Liu Erlong and Xiao Yu to the lakeside cabin.
Over the past few days, Liu Erlong had had a good talk with Dugu Yan.
Dugu Yan had also come to accept Liu Erlong as the "big sister" of the group.
After some thought, they realized that instead of Xiao Yu going back and forth between them, it would be more convenient for everyone if they just stayed together.
So, that night, after being alone for several days, Liu Erlong and Dugu Yan couldn't hold back any longer.
They immediately dragged Xiao Yu into a fierce battle.
Xiao Yu, who had also been holding back for days, was more than ready to let loose.
Thus, under Xiao Wu's shocked gaze, the three of them began a passionate session.
In the end, after single-handedly subduing Liu Erlong and Dugu Yan, Xiao Yu pulled over Xiao Wu, who had been tightly closing her eyes, her face flushed with embarrassment.
Feeling the dampness on her back and looking at Xiao Yu, Xiao Wu's face turned even paler.
At this moment, her struggles with her white-stockinged legs were as weak as playful teasing.
In the end, under Xiao Yu's skillful hands, Xiao Wu was completely exhausted.
Although they didn't go all the way, Xiao Wu was already covered in marks, drenched in sweat, and her stomach was slightly bloated.
Her body was covered in Xiao Yu's handiwork.
Especially her long, white-stockinged legs.
The white stockings and the snow-white skin of her thighs alternated, making her legs look even more beautiful and alluring.
Finally, the four of them, drenched in sweat, fell into a deep sleep.
"..."
Time flew by, and a year passed in the blink of an eye.
During this year, Xiao Yu lived a peaceful yet busy life, following a routine.
During the day, under the envious and jealous gazes of the other students, Xiao Yu would take Dugu Yan, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Meng Yiran, and Xiao Wu to the hillside for accelerated cultivation.
By now, that hillside had essentially been completely taken over by Xiao Yu and his group. Under Liu Erlong's instructions, the academy's teachers had even set up protective fencing around the area and warned all students not to enter casually.
The students didn't have much to complain about after hearing this.
They didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction, after all.
On that hillside, not only was there the dean's personal disciple, but also the granddaughter of the Poison Douluo, the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, the little princess of the Beast Academy, and two top-tier geniuses who had reached Soul Elder at the age of twelve.
With such a terrifying lineup and talent, the ordinary students of Blue Tyrant Academy wouldn't dare to provoke them.
After the day was over, Xiao Yu would spend his nights shuttling between Liu Erlong and Dugu Yan, occasionally adding Xiao Wu to the mix as an observer.
Every time, Xiao Wu would be tormented to the point of exhaustion.
And strangely, Xiao Wu seemed to have developed a liking for this kind of torment...
This surprised Xiao Yu.
As for Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran, during their morning cultivation sessions, Xiao Yu would spend about an hour chatting with them about life and their dreams.
Thanks to Xiao Yu's efforts, Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran were now able to be open and honest with him without much psychological burden.
However, Xiao Yu preferred seeing them dressed while being open with him.
As for Ning Rongrong, after some persuasion, Ning Fengzhi agreed to let her stay at the academy.
But she had to return home from time to time to have meals with the three "lonely old men."
Thus, Ning Rongrong, who was now living on campus, also joined Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran in their heart-to-heart talks.
Although the three of them hadn't taken the final step, almost everything else had been explored.
Because of this, the affection points of the girls had also increased significantly.
Xiao Yu obtained the second-stage gift packs for Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, as well as the first-stage gift pack for Meng Yiran.
Liu Erlong and Dugu Yan's affection points were still slowly increasing.
Only Xiao Wu's affection points remained stuck at five, with no increase at all.
Even though Xiao Yu had focused on Xiao Wu for a period of time, letting her experience both heaven and hell, her affection points still didn't budge.
However, Xiao Yu wasn't in a hurry.
He could take his time. After all, Xiao Wu was in his hands, and he could slowly work on winning her over.
As for soul power improvements, Xiao Yu had successfully broken through to level 50 during this time, reaching the Soul King realm.
After taking Xiao Wu back to the Star Dou Forest, Xiao Yu brainwashed the Titan Giant Ape into helping him find a light-attribute spirit beast with dragon blood to hunt.
Initially, the Titan Giant Ape didn't want to help, but for Xiao Wu's sake, he agreed to the request.
Thus, he found a 20,000-year Light Feather Earth Dragon that had been disobeying his orders!
He gave its soul ring to Xiao Yu.
After the Light Feather Earth Dragon died, the Titan Giant Ape's control over the forest increased slightly, which made him quite happy.
After all, the Titan Giant Ape had been annoyed by these disobedient spirit beasts for a long time.
