In a sudden burst, Tang San exclaimed, "Besides, I heard you're also a 'waste' martial spirit master, unable to break through soul realms and weak! There's no such thing as a waste martial spirit, only wasteful masters. Who told you that? Are you really taking that as truth, or just insulting yourself?"
"You!!!" Yu Xiaogang's fury surged as he shouted back, "What do you know at your age? Where did you hear this nonsense? That's what villains say!"
Tang San retracted his Soul Master certificate, walking out the master's door with a calm voice: "I don't think I can study under you. Although you're respected as a master, you're not worthy to be mine."
"Also… the one who said that might just be the most beautiful person in the world, right?"
At that moment, Subei's handsome face flashed in Tang San's mind, making him smile unconsciously.
"Lanba Academy—I'll definitely come. Teacher Subei, wait for me!"
Watching Tang San leave decisively, Yu Xiaogang was struck dumb, spitting blood uncontrollably, which stained the floor, scrolls, and even handprints on the wooden table.
At Star Lake in Star Dou Forest,
A huge dark form with a golden abdomen and pure gold eyes gazed skyward.
Sharp, terrifying dragon claws pierced the earth, and it was much larger than the Titan Great Ape!
Di Tian's tall and mighty body hummed: "Has he returned to the human world?"
Roar!
The Titan Great Ape's black face reddened as it exhaled drunken breath, pounding its chest and stomping a boulder so hard the ground cracked to the sky, snorting and nodding suddenly.
"Alright…"
Di Tian groaned, face grim and terrible: "This is the best thing. Hopefully, he won't return to the Terrible Land, so the Lord can recover and prepare to counter the God Realm's attack. Otherwise, mankind will bear the burden!"
"I just hope he never appears before us again!"
Di Tian's massive form sank into the star lake, leaving only weakening instructions:
"The Lord sleeps. We must focus on cultivation. Star Dou Great Forest, protect these two..."
"Also, Titan Great Ape, you stink! How long since you last bathed?"

After leaving Notting College, Liu Erlong escorted Subei and Xiao Wu northward.
Though joyous deep in her heart, she appeared gloomy from heartbreak.
Subei said calmly, "You don't have to be too sad. The old must give way to the new. You're beautiful, and sooner or later, you'll find someone better. He wasn't worthy of you."
Liu Erlong brushed her breeze-tossed hair and pinched Subei's cheek:
"You're still young and don't understand adult feelings. If Xiao Bei finds a beloved girl, he must cherish her and fight valiantly—never run away."
Liu Erlong warmly instructed:
"Age isn't a barrier, nor is family status. You don't need to mind those things. As long as you love each other—that's what matters. Understand?"
Xiao Wu agreed eagerly, nodding fiercely, "Yes!"
Though Liu Erlong often teased her brother, she made a lot of sense.
Xiao Wu looked at Subei with burning eyes, as if saying, "Even as a human or a soul beast, you're my brother—no limits to our bond!"
But she hadn't considered whether Liu Erlong counted their relationship the same way.
In Subei's mind, Liu Erlong was akin to a rare flower, unconcerned about the taboo of close relatives marrying—in the imaginary world, at least. Otherwise, he might have been "sprayed to death" in modern life.
Though eager to play the scumbag role, Subei empathized with Yu Xiaogang's worries about the consequences of close-relative marriage.
Still, he pledged responsibility to the goddess—in the future, he'd never want children born in such circumstances to avoid damaging their lineage.
But rabbits don't eat grass near their nests, and many fragrant fairy flowers bloom outside.
Subei's youthful face softened.
He muttered, "You're not his first goddess to be abandoned. Don't say it's just the rich lady from Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus…"
"What did you say?"
"No, no."
Liu Erlong didn't know what Subei was whispering but patted both their heads, bringing color back to their pale faces:
"No matter what, from now on, the three of us live for each other. No matter what slanders outside say, we'll live well together."
"If anyone bullies you or Xiao Wu, my mother won't let it slide!"
On the way to the market, passersby's numbers grew.
Liu Erlong, a stunning woman accompanied by two adorable children, quickly attracted curious onlookers.
In a crowd, Subei inadvertently became the center of attention—a sign of his high value.
If this were modern times, groups of young ladies in black silk or Lolita uniforms might swarm for photos, crowding Subei into their arms.
Thinking of that sent chills down his spine—it felt so strange and overwhelming.
In the soul master-dominated world, many women shared Liu Erlong's feelings—especially around thirty years old, a maternal age.
When they saw Subei, they grew restless and approached Liu Erlong:
"Are you the mother of these two children?"
Liu Erlong proudly replied, "Yes."
The women's enthusiasm grew:
"Your children are very handsome! Especially this boy—I'm a soul sovereign of Wuhun Palace and intend to recognize him as my godson. What do you think?"
"Can I hug him?"
"I want to hug him too! I want to squeeze his face! What blessing to bear such a delicate lovely boy!"
Women gathered and moved toward Subei.
Xiao Wu scowled and stood before Subei: "You can't hold my brother!"
"Children, sisters are not malicious—we just like your brother very much!"
Though these women looked good, they paled beside Liu Erlong—not of the same calibre.
Their soft hands brushed Subei's head repeatedly, like soft sandbags squeezing him, making him dizzy.
