"Senior Disciple, didn't you notice? The closer the distance, the better the cultivation effect."
Bai Zhou said seriously, and quickly moved closer to Tang Ya, their knees touching completely as they sat cross-legged.
But because their knees blocked the way, their distance could only stop there, which disappointed Bai Zhou greatly.
"Alright... alright..."
Seeing that they couldn't get any closer, Tang Ya, though a little shy, accepted Bai Zhou's explanation.
After all, the closer the distance, the clearer her Spirit could sense the Blue Silver Emperor, and the more obvious that strange change became.
However, Bai Zhou was not satisfied with this distance.
While Tang Ya entered deep meditation, Bai Zhou scooted his butt and moved behind Tang Ya, then slowly approached...
"You... what are you trying to do again..."
Tang Ya quickly sensed something was wrong, withdrew from her meditation, turned her head, and was met with Bai Zhou's handsome face right in front of her.
"Ah—"
Tang Ya exclaimed, almost falling over from fright.
Fortunately, Bai Zhou was quick, wrapping an arm around Tang Ya's slender waist and pulling her directly into his embrace.
"Senior Disciple, focus on cultivating."
Bai Zhou still wore a serious expression, pretending it was real.
"How can I focus when you're doing this!!"
Tang Ya broke free from Bai Zhou's embrace, gritting her teeth. This guy Bai Zhou was too wicked, actually taking advantage of her so openly. Men were indeed all big pig trotters!
Although she thought this in her heart, Tang Ya didn't realize that all along she only felt shy and annoyed, without the slightest bit of disgust towards Bai Zhou.
Bai Zhou had also noticed this, which was why he was so brazenly testing Tang Ya's limits.
"Generally speaking, the first cultivation session has the best effect. Senior Disciple, don't waste time. You might not get results like today's in the future."
Bai Zhou held Tang Ya's shoulders, turned her around, and changed the subject.
"Then you... just stay like this, don't move randomly!!"
Tang Ya gritted her teeth and warned in a low voice.
She actually felt that Bai Zhou was right. The effect of the first cultivation session was definitely the best. The mutation of her Spirit was so clear, something she had never experienced before.
"I must become strong, I must get revenge! I must restore the Tang Sect's glory!"
In the end, the pressure in Tang Ya's heart turned into motivation. She cast aside distracting thoughts and entered deep meditation once again.
Bai Zhou, on the other hand, kept his eyes open, only meditating shallowly to assist Tang Ya's arduous cultivation.
His spirit power basically came from the Wishing System. With just two or three wishes, Bai Zhou could obtain spirit power reaching level 30.
However, in Bai Zhou's view, spirit power could be cultivated on his own, while the daily wishing opportunity was more cost-effective for wishing for other treasures. He didn't want to waste a single chance.
What he wanted most now was a cultivation method for "mental force", to slowly accumulate luck and wait for the next ten-pull.
Bai Zhou cast aside the distracting thoughts in his mind and turned to observe Tang Ya.
Her black ponytail was incredibly smooth, there was a faint beauty at the back of her neck, and her skin was fair and delicate. Bai Zhou almost couldn't help but reach out and grab a handful...
Tang Ya's earlobes were slightly red, like rubies, crystal clear, giving one the urge to take a bite.
And the maiden's subtle fragrance that actively entered Bai Zhou's nostrils had a unique charm, constantly provoking the hormones in Bai Zhou's body and stimulating his brain.
But now was clearly not the time. If he went too far, Tang Ya wouldn't seek him out for cultivation next time.
"Bei Bei is truly an iron man, completely unaware of Tang Ya's heart." Bai Zhou sighed inwardly.
Bei Bei's kindness to Tang Ya was naturally sincere, but Bei Bei didn't understand Tang Ya at all, and even less did he know what Tang Ya truly wanted.
It was precisely because of this point that Tang Ya later left without saying goodbye, fell into darkness, sought revenge herself, became twisted in personality, and was finally manipulated by Evil Soul Masters.
What Tang Ya wanted most wasn't sweet love; she wanted power, or rather, revenge.
Bei Bei actually had the strength. As long as he could bear to ask Mu En, with Mu En's connections, he could avenge Tang Ya with a flick of his finger. But Bei Bei didn't, and neither did Mu En.
This led to the final tragedy.
Perhaps Mu En felt that Tang Ya no longer had much value...
Inner Courtyard Senior Disciple Zhang Lexuan was also a tragedy. Her situation was exactly the opposite of Tang Ya's.
Zhang Lexuan's parents were also killed, and then she was saved by Mu En. Unlike Tang Ya, Mu En believed Zhang Lexuan had value, so on the condition that Zhang Lexuan become Bei Bei's child bride, he personally took action to slaughter all of Zhang Lexuan's enemies. It could be said he was ruthless and showed no mercy.
It was also because of this action that Zhang Lexuan was firmly tied to Shrek Academy, tied to Bei Bei, unable to escape for life.
"Since you don't cherish her, don't blame me for cutting in." Bai Zhou chuckled softly, thinking to himself.
Bei Bei was foolish, not knowing what Tang Ya truly thought in her heart.
Mu En, on the other hand, felt that Tang Ya was already Bei Bei's person and had no value for him to take action, so he bothered to ignore her, letting Tang Ya suffer on her own. To put it nicely, it was a test for Tang Ya...
...
The night passed without a word.
Time flew by, and soon it was early morning.
Tang Ya slowly woke up from her cultivation, feeling completely refreshed. She had never felt so relaxed in her life.
However, she quickly noticed the familiar bodily fragrance coming from the tip of her nose, and also...
"Ah—"
Tang Ya exclaimed and broke free from Bai Zhou's embrace.
"You you you... I I I I..."
Tang Ya was incoherent, quickly checked herself, and only slightly relaxed after confirming there was no pain anywhere.
"Yesterday, Senior Disciple, you actively burrowed into my arms. I couldn't push you away no matter how hard I tried. You can't blame me for this."
Bai Zhou spread his hands, not lying.
Perhaps Tang Ya was too engrossed in cultivation, coupled with the attraction of the Blue Silver Emperor, Tang Ya really did actively burrow into his arms last night, and even showed an expression of enjoyment, impossible to push away...
Bai Zhou could only "reluctantly" accept, feeling quite helpless.
"I I... I didn't do it on purpose..."
Tang Ya was a bit more awake now and instantly recalled the strange dream she had last night.
She seemed to have entered a kingdom of Blue Silver Grass, with countless Blue Silver Grass surrounding her.
The most noble Blue Silver Emperor personally invited her, and then she fell asleep hugging the soft Blue Silver Emperor.
Thinking about it now, that wasn't the Blue Silver Emperor at all, it was that bad guy Bai Zhou!
Tang Ya's face was so red it looked like it was about to bleed. She wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
It was truly a huge embarrassment...
However, she had to admit that it was really comfortable hugging the Blue Silver Emperor...
"Alright, alright, Senior Disciple. I can feel that your spirit power has greatly improved. How do you feel?"
Bai Zhou was afraid Tang Ya was shy, so he quickly changed the subject.
Tang Ya was stunned, then looked inward, and the next moment...
"My spirit power level actually increased by 2 levels!!"
Tang Ya exclaimed loudly, and in her excitement, she hugged Bai Zhou tightly, clearly overjoyed.
"Cough cough, Senior Disciple, I'm a little suffocated..."
Bai Zhou twitched his nose, coughed dryly, completely not expecting to be "attacked".
"Ah... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I was just a little excited..."
Tang Ya's face was still flushed, she was truly too happy.
Because just a few days ago, she had just become a level 31 Spirit Elder. After reaching Spirit Elder, she could clearly notice that her cultivation speed had plummeted. Even when cultivating in the academy's simulated training room, the results were unsatisfactory.
Tang Ya knew that this was the limit of her talent. Cultivation before Spirit Elder could barely be compensated for by effort and various natural treasures, but after Spirit Elder, it was all about talent.
If talent was insufficient, the path of cultivation after Spirit Elder would become increasingly difficult.
Fortunately, she met Bai Zhou, the owner of the Blue Silver Emperor, and seized the opportunity. In just one night of cultivation, her spirit power level actually soared to level 33.
Of course, she also knew that this kind of surge could only happen once, only during the first cultivation session. However, the effect of accelerated cultivation still existed.
As long as she cultivated with Bai Zhou every day from now on, she might be able to catch up to Bei Bei's cultivation pace. More importantly, she was one step closer to the day she would avenge her parents herself.
"Congratulations, Senior Disciple. But today is the start of school, I have to go to class. Tonight, I'll treat Senior Disciple to a meal to celebrate."
Bai Zhou slightly cupped his hands towards Tang Ya, congratulating her very seriously.
"How can I let you treat me? Senior Disciple can make such progress, it's all thanks to you, Xiao Bai junior. Tonight, Senior Disciple will treat you to a feast~"
Tang Ya laughed heartily, gently patted Bai Zhou's shoulder, and her address for Bai Zhou also changed to "Xiao Bai junior", instantly becoming much closer.
"Okay, see you tonight. I'll head back first."
Bai Zhou smiled slightly and was the first to leave the cultivation room.
"This little guy is truly my lucky star..."
Tang Ya watched Bai Zhou's retreating back, her eyes curved into crescents. The more she looked at Bai Zhou, the more she liked him.
...
Bai Zhou checked the time. It was six in the morning, still very early. Classes didn't start until eight.
Bai Zhou returned to the dormitory and found that guy Wang Dong was still sleeping in.
"Hmm... where did you go last night? You didn't come back all night?" Wang Dong noticed Bai Zhou's return, so he poked his head out, looked at Bai Zhou sleepily, and asked with some dissatisfaction.
That guy Bai Zhou disappeared after dinner. He couldn't find him anywhere. It was too annoying. He still wanted to ask Bai Zhou for a few bottles of cola to drink....
"I went to have a heart-to-heart talk with Senior Disciple." Bai Zhou casually explained, then used his Spirit to conjure a steaming basket of small steamed buns and fresh milk, placing them on Wang Dong's bedside table.
"Have a heart-to-heart talk with Senior Disciple..."
Wang Dong instantly thought crookedly, and spat lightly, "Ptooey, scumbag! Going to a place like that at such a young age, how shameless!"
"What kind of place? Did you misunderstand something?" Bai Zhou's face darkened.
"Hmph, scumbag, scumbag, scumbag! Ptooey!"
After Wang Dong finished speaking, he directly burrowed his head into the quilt to hide.
For some reason, his heart felt a little uncomfortable, and he didn't even want to eat breakfast...
He didn't expect Bai Zhou to be this kind of person, indulging himself in a place like that on the first day of school!
"You definitely thought crookedly. Come out and explain yourself!" Bai Zhou's mouth twitched, and he instantly knew he had been misunderstood.
He didn't deny being a scumbag, but he would absolutely not go to a place like that. How dare this guy Wang Dong slander him! Outrageous!
