Chapter 144: Ning Tian and Wu Feng Become Addicted
"Hmph, Mu Jin just got lucky. That Ye Chen's talent is monstrous—what's it got to do with her?"
Zhou Yi snorted coldly.
In her eyes, Mu Jin was nothing but a mediocre teacher who happened to stumble upon a genius student by sheer luck.
"Heh, then by that logic, aren't Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao also prodigies? Doesn't that mean they have nothing to do with you, Zhou Yi?"
Mu Jin sneered, unwilling to back down. "Be honest with yourself—if you could make two rank-21 Soul Grandmasters reach rank 33 in just three months, even the headmaster of Shrek would have to kneel and hand you his position!"
The other teachers struggled not to laugh, but envy flickered in their eyes too.
Zhou Yi had absurd luck. She lacked charm or tact, yet still ended up with a class full of champions.
Honestly, if not for Ye Chen's freakish genius, Mu Jin's class would've been trampled by Zhou Yi's teaching style.
"Mu Jin, shut your mouth!"
Zhou Yi slammed her hands on the table, nearly losing control.
"Enough!"
Bang!
Du Weilun's palm struck the conference table, exuding a crushing aura that silenced the room instantly.
Mu Jin fell quiet at once, and Zhou Yi sat back down, though her glare still burned with pride and unwillingness.
"These are the official assignments. Zhou Yi, throwing a tantrum won't change anything," Du Weilun said coldly. "Do your job and stop thinking about expelling students. If you hadn't been so heavy-handed, you would've been promoted long ago."
He paused, then added, "If you manage to reach senior-teacher status within a year, I'll transfer you to Class One."
With that, he turned and walked away.
He had plenty on his plate—the student division ceremony, the formal recognition of core disciples, and the championship reward ceremony were all scheduled for tomorrow.
Arguing further was a waste of time.
He'd already done Zhou Yi more favors than she deserved; even when the parents of expelled students had filed complaints, he'd quietly handled them himself.
But this time was different.
Class One wasn't some random batch of newcomers—they were the future backbone of Shrek Academy.
If Zhou Yi recklessly expelled a potential powerhouse, the loss to the institution would be irreparable.
And thank the heavens he hadn't forced Ye Chen into her class.
Given Zhou Yi's attitude, she would've tried to put Ye Chen "in his place," and his proud, unyielding personality would've clashed instantly.
If that spiraled into open hostility, and Ye Chen turned his back on the academy…
The boy's monstrous potential—rumored to rival even an Ultimate Douluo—and his grudge could destroy everything they stood for.
No, she needed a lesson, even if it meant offending Fan Yu.
Zhou Yi's recklessness had to be reined in.
…
Later that night.
In the suite of a luxury hotel, Ye Chen lay sprawled across a soft bed, utterly relaxed.
Ning Tian and Wu Feng were in the shower, giggling behind the closed bathroom door.
Ye Chen smirked faintly, recalling how the two of them had just given him a "massage" after dinner—it had been… more than enjoyable.
Until recently, Ning Tian had held back because Wu Feng was around—and vice versa.
But now that they knew about Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, the two seemed to have joined forces, determined to keep Ye Chen firmly in their grasp.
Their teamwork, unsurprisingly, worked out very well for him.
Splash, splash—
From the bathroom came the sound of running water mixed with light laughter.
Ye Chen couldn't help but imagine the two of them inside. For once, Wu Feng must have been thrilled—bathing together with Ning Tian was a rare treat indeed.
…
Click.
The bathroom door opened, steam billowing into the room. Through the haze stepped two pairs of slender legs, pale and toned.
Ye Chen, lying back lazily, sat up at once when he saw their outfits.
His gaze landed on Ning Tian first. Her damp hair framed a rosy, flushed face. She wore only a beige slip dress, its thin straps dangling loosely over her collarbone.
The hem barely reached her thighs, revealing those long, delicate legs sheathed in nearly transparent white stockings. The faint pink beneath showed through against the silk, the garter pressing slightly into the skin to leave a faint, teasing mark.
"D-Don't stare like that…"
Blushing, Ning Tian pressed her knees together and curled her toes shyly against the carpet, covering her chest with one arm.
Ye Chen grinned, then turned his eyes to Wu Feng.
Wu Feng wore a black lace nightdress, the neckline dipping dangerously low. Her figure curved more than Ning Tian's—especially her chest, unbound beneath the thin fabric, moving subtly with every breath.
Black silk stockings covered her toned, powerful legs, shimmering faintly through the sheer fabric.
Clearly unused to such revealing clothes, she couldn't meet Ye Chen's gaze, her eyes flickering to the side as her lips pinched together.
"Alright, it's late—time to rest," Ye Chen said with a faint smile, beckoning them closer.
"Hmph, you'd better behave," Ning Tian muttered and slipped under the covers.
Wu Feng, cheeks glowing crimson, followed silently to the opposite side.
Ye Chen chuckled and climbed in between them, lifting the blanket and drawing both girls into his arms.
"Kya—!"
"You're terrible…"
Both let out breathy exclamations yet made no effort to pull away.
"Tomorrow, you'll be full-fledged Shrek students. Work hard from now on," Ye Chen said softly.
"What's the point of us working hard? You're the only one who matters," Ning Tian pouted.
No matter how hard they trained, an hour with Ye Chen's "assistance" did more for their progress.
Once they'd experienced tens of times faster cultivation speed, normal practice felt meaningless—even frustrating.
"Exactly! Don't go favoring the others, Ye Chen. Remember to spend time with us too~" Wu Feng grabbed his hand tightly, nodding in agreement.
Their advancement practically depended on him—the more time they spent with Ye Chen, the faster they grew.
"Ahem. Well, that depends on your performance~" Ye Chen replied with a sly smile.
It was like being addicted to a cheat code—regular effort just couldn't compare anymore. And once you got used to it, losing it felt unbearable.
Not that Ye Chen minded.
If you had a cheat, why not use it?
Right now, aside from his looks, his "plug-in" was what drew them most.
"Hmph… were we not good enough tonight?" Ning Tian murmured softly.
"Yeah, we worked really hard." Wu Feng pouted, nudging his shoulder.
Ye Chen rubbed his chin, pretending to think. "Hmm… maybe just a little short."
"Ugh! You're impossible!"
"You're awful!"
Both women puffed their cheeks in mock anger, glaring at him fiercely.
Then, giggling, they dove back beneath the blankets together.
