Zhuqing's mature yet youthful and exquisitely beautiful figure was fully presented before Ye Qiu's eyes.
Her skin was fair with a rosy glow, shimmering under the light.
She was like a work of art.
"Ye... Ye Qiu... don't look around."
After waiting for a long time without any movement, Zhu Zhuqing murmured softly, her eyes shy and trembling, misty with tears. Her
two white, slender arms concealed
the fact that this usually aloof beauty in leather pants was now so delicate.
Ye Qiu breathed a sigh of relief.
He grasped one of her soft hands, their fingers intertwined.
Ye Qiu leaned down, pressing his forehead against Zhu Zhuqing's brow, their breaths mingling.
Looking at the shimmering water in her eyes
, they whispered, their lips meeting.
"Zhuqing."
"Mmm."
Zhu Zhuqing's cherry lips moved gently, responding to Ye Qiu.
She felt a little breathless, her voice almost trembling with tears, her body feeling hot.
Normally...
Although she presented herself to Ye Qiu as eloquent, resourceful, and shrewd, possessing many virtues and readily granting his every wish,
this intimate contact was unprecedented. She could clearly feel the curves of Ye Qiu's body.
Their heat flowed between them,
their heartbeats nearly synchronized .
Ye Qiu gently kissed Zhu Zhuqing's cheeks and red lips, leaving his red mark on her neck.
Zhu Zhuqing bit her red lips, blushing shyly.
Gradually, she relaxed her guard, though her long eyelashes still trembled, as if ashamed to be seen.
She forced her eyes open, her red lips slightly parted.
Ye Qiu's face rapidly magnified in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, slowly capturing her slightly parted red lips.
Her heart fluttered.
At the same time, Ye Qiu reached out and covered her eyes,
feeling the tingling sensation of her long eyelashes trembling gently in his palm.
He savored the gift from Zhu Zhuqing,
shaking his head
and leaving fish-scale-like marks on her full, red lips.
Tasting this sweetness,
one can't help but marvel at Zhu Zhuqing's radiant beauty.
He gently nibbles at her smooth chin, snow-white neck, delicate collarbone...
Outside the stone house ,
fireflies swarm,
adding a touch of romance and tenderness.
...
At the foot of the mountain, at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy,
while Ye Qiu was stirring things up in Biyou Village, enjoying the gentle warmth,
the Shrek group, including Qin Ming and Yu Tianheng, finally arrived at the foot of the mountain after walking for about half an hour. It
was the place they had initially come from.
It all seemed like a dream.
They had thought they could find a good home for their old friends and
give the children a brighter future.
But alas,
it was all just a fleeting illusion.
Seeing the clear lake reflecting the moon at the foot of the mountain again, none of the Shrek group had the heart to appreciate the scenery.
Flander stopped
, looking up at the sky. The cold moonlight mirrored his own heart—cold, desolate, and filled with sorrow.
"Dean, why don't we reopen Shrek Academy?"
It was Dai Mubai who spoke.
Ever since he escaped from the Star Luo Empire, he had stayed at Shrek Academy and had developed a deep affection for it.
Seeing that Flander still didn't react...

Dai Mubai continued, "I understand why you've always refused our students' sponsorship."
"But now, even if it's just to save face, we can't give up!
Even if we have to participate in the Soul Arena's betting, we'll support Shrek Academy and make the Heaven Dou Royal Academy regret it!"
Upon hearing Dai Mubai's words, Tang San and the others nodded in agreement.
Zhao Wuji's rough voice rang out, "That's right, Xiaobai is right. At worst, I, the Immovable King, will return to the martial world!"
Yu Tianheng, who had come along, also stepped forward.
"I can also contribute. My family..."
"Tianheng! Absolutely not!" Yu Xiaogang interrupted Yu Tianheng before he could finish.
He would never allow Yu Tianheng to use his family's money to support Shrek Academy.
His family wouldn't care about anything; they would definitely blame Yu Xiaogang.
Wouldn't that make him look like a useless good-for-nothing?
Needing support from the younger generation of his family to survive outside?
He wouldn't allow that to happen.
"Tianheng, your coming along puts me in a difficult position." "
If your father or family finds out..."
"I'm afraid I'll be held responsible!"
Yu Xiaogang looked at Yu Tianheng, who was supporting him, his expression conflicted.
He should have known better than to put on airs in front of him.
Now he's all over him.
"Uncle, what are you saying? Tianheng will take full responsibility for the family's situation."
Yu Tianheng had long wanted to leave Huang Dou. He hadn't achieved his purpose in coming, and this was a good opportunity to leave.
Besides, he could also follow his uncle and become stronger under his tutelage.
"Sigh, I wonder what will happen to Yanzi and the others." Qin Ming sighed, feeling somewhat guilty towards Huang Dou.
After all, as the team leader, he hadn't even said goodbye before running away.
They had spent so much time together, and there was some affection between them, especially since these were students he had personally trained.
"Qin Ming, you don't need to go to such lengths for Shrek Academy. You've graduated. You should have your own life." Flander looked at him with a complicated expression. "
Dean, Qin Ming knows what he's doing. The Heavenly Dou Royal Academy is being controlled by those fools in the royal family; it's bound to run into trouble sooner or later!" Qin Ming shook his head helplessly, then said decisively, "Besides, I believe that with the strength of all the teachers, it won't be difficult for them to make a comeback."
Yu Xiaogang sighed, grabbed Flander's shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "Flander, I'm sorry. This is my fault."
Flander sighed deeply and shook his head.
"It has nothing to do with you; we're just unlucky."
"I don't know why, but I have absolutely no desire to rebuild the academy right now. Perhaps it's because I've been too tired these past few years."
Zhao Wuji frowned and asked, "So what should we do now?"
Flander's unfocused gaze gradually sharpened.
He knew that
his decision now concerned not only himself, but also the teachers of Shrek Academy and the children before him.
Composing himself, he regained the composure befitting a dean. "
How about this, let's head to Heaven Dou City, the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, to rest for a while. We need a place to stay, after all."
"As for our next move, we'll discuss it later."
Yu Xiaogang pondered for a moment and nodded.
"At this point, we can only take it one step at a time."
Qin Ming said,
"Alright, then I'll lead the way." "
The journey from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to Heaven Dou City wasn't far.
The Shrek group, having missed dinner, ate their dry rations with heavy hearts as they hurried along.
After traveling for most of the hour,
they finally arrived at Heaven Dou City, the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire.
In the distance,
they could already see the city walls fluttering in the breeze.
As one of the two largest and most prosperous cities on the continent, Heaven Dou City's walls were hundreds of meters high, entirely constructed of the hardest granite.
The soldiers patrolling and standing guard on and around the city walls were all fully armored, wielding long spears; their fierce aura spoke volumes about their skill.
The towering city gate was ten meters high and ten meters wide, large enough for six riders to ride abreast. There were also two side gates, each five meters high and wide, through which pedestrians could only enter. The central gate remained tightly closed.
It was indescribably magnificent and awe-inspiring.
