Chapter 12 Graduation from Notting College
In the days that followed, Notting College returned to peace.
Ye Liuyun's life became extremely regular.
As the true head of Dormitory 7, he naturally had others do the chores like sweeping and wiping windows for him.
He attends classes during the day and works part-time at a plant shop called "Bai Cao Tang" in the city in the afternoon.
"Boss, this orchid is dying. I'll take it to the backyard and take care of it."
"Alright, alright, you figure it out."
In the backyard.
Ye Liuyun gently placed his fingers on the withered orchid.
An endless surge of vitality.
Transform soul power into life force.
The orchid, which was originally on the verge of death, suddenly came back to life, its leaves turned lush and green, and it even bloomed with flower buds.
Hone your unique skills every day.
It converts life force and soul power back and forth.
"You saved him again! You're amazing! Here's your paycheck for today," the owner of Baicaotang praised.
The first thing Ye Liuyun did after receiving his salary was to enjoy delicious food.
Life is wonderful.
Xiao Wu is the leader of the kids at school, and her reputation among the new students is legendary.
He vaguely gives off the vibe of the student leader at Notting College.
Tang San then found a blacksmith shop and worked there every day, hammering away at the blacksmith's shop.
It wasn't just to practice the so-called Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, but also to build his arsenal of hidden weapons.
Thanks to Tang San's deliberate efforts and the fact that he was Tang San's brother-in-law, the relationship between Tang San, Ye Liuyun, and Xiao Wu improved considerably.
At least on the surface, they are a trio who "love each other."
Of course, under Yu Xiaogang's gradual brainwashing, Tang San's evaluation of Ye Liuyun remained unchanged:
"He has decent talent, but he's taken the wrong path."
"Nothing to worry about."
Therefore, he is happy to restore the relationship and may try to take him under his wing in the future.
...
Time flies, and six years have passed in a flash.
Before they knew it, the three of them had reached the age to graduate from junior academy.
In the office.
Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San, who had grown into a young man, with a look of great satisfaction in his eyes.
"Little San, your soul power has reached level 29, just one step away from breaking through to Soul Elder. This is already an exceptional genius among your peers."
"A small place like Notting can no longer accommodate you."
Yu Xiaogang took a letter of recommendation from the drawer and handed it to Tang San:
"Let's go here. Shrek Academy."
"That's an academy that only accepts monsters. Although the environment is a bit rudimentary, its teaching philosophy aligns perfectly with mine. Only there can you truly grow."
Tang San took the letter and nodded solemnly: "Yes, teacher."
Step out of the office.
Tang San found Ye Liuyun and Xiao Wu sunbathing on the playground.
"Xiao Wu, Ye Liuyun, I'm going to Shrek Academy."
Tang San waved the letter in his hand. "Our teacher said that's the best place for us. Do you want to come along?"
Xiao Wu was weaving a flower wreath on the grass when she heard this, and immediately turned to look at Ye Liuyun:
"Cousin, I'll go wherever you go."
In Xiao Wu's heart, Ye Liuyun, who was stronger than her and was also a soul beast, was more reliable than anyone else.
The best thing is for two people to stick together and keep each other warm.
Tang San felt a pang of jealousy, a surge of envy welling up inside him.
But considering that the two were cousins, he could only suppress his feelings.
He looked at Ye Liuyun, waiting for his decision.
Ye Liuyun opened his eyes and looked at the azure sky above him.
Shrek Academy...
That's the core vortex of the plot.
Before he took human form, he would definitely have chosen to avoid it and cultivate alone.
But now that he has transformed into a human, his strength has been greatly reduced.
Instead of wandering around aimlessly, it's better to follow a route you roughly know.
"Go."
Ye Liuyun stood up and patted the grass clippings off his clothes.
"Then it's settled!"
Tang San was overjoyed, knowing he could be with Xiao Wu again.
At least you won't be lonely on this journey.
Moreover, in a new environment, even if you don't like Ye Liuyun, having someone to stick with can save you a lot of trouble.
Soto.
This bustling city in the Kingdom of Barak is worlds apart from the remote city of Notting.
The streets are wide, lined with shops, and the air is filled with the aromas of perfume and food.
Wow! It's so lively here!
Xiao Wu, like a country bumpkin visiting the city for the first time, looked around with excitement in her eyes.
Ye Liuyun followed behind with his hands in his pockets and a lazy expression.
"Cousin Liuyun! Look at that hotel! It's so beautiful!"
Xiao Wu suddenly stopped and pointed to a uniquely shaped building in front of her, shouting.
It was a three-story hotel, decorated in the shape of a giant rose, with its red exterior walls appearing particularly ambiguous and eye-catching in the sunlight.
Rose Hotel.
Ye Liuyun's eyelids twitched.
A troublesome place.
According to the original plot, going there would not only result in being ripped off, but also encountering Dai Mubai's so-called "Evil-Eyed White Tiger," and then being forced into a fight.
Ye Liuyun was extremely unwilling to participate in this kind of pretentious, face-slapping plot that yielded no benefit and wasted his energy.
"I'm not going."
Ye Liuyun refused decisively.
"It looks expensive. I'm poor. I spend all my money on food."
"Oh dear! Cousin!"
Xiao Wu grabbed his arm and clung to it, launching into a relentless, clingy tactic:
"Come on, come on! We've traveled for so long, I'm exhausted! I just want to stay somewhere nice!"
Xiao Wu leaned close to his ear, her voice becoming somewhat pitiful.
"We're in an unfamiliar place. What if we run into bad people? Can you really bear to leave your lovely cousin out here?"
Ye Liuyun glanced at her.
This rabbit is getting better and better at acting.
However, if we don't go along with her, what if the plot goes astray?
If you encounter a strange Title Douluo while walking around, or if this rabbit runs away, who will you use as a shield in the future?
"Alright, alright, let go."
Ye Liuyun sighed helplessly.
"Go."
Tang San, standing to the side, felt a pang of jealousy as he watched Xiao Wu cling to him.
Cousins... Can cousins really be this close?
Well, since Xiao Wu likes it, then I can only...
"Since Xiaowu likes it, let's stay here tonight."
Tang San forced out a magnanimous smile.
"I'll pay for it."
"Really? You're so sweet, Little San!" Xiao Wu exclaimed.
The three of them entered the Rose Hotel.
The lobby was filled with a rich rose scent, and the lighting was dim and ambiguous.
Welcome!
The waiter looked visibly surprised when he saw the strange group of two men and one woman, especially when he saw their youthful faces.
Are kids these days... playing with such elaborate toys?
This left her somewhat bewildered.
We need to stay at a hotel.
Tang San stepped forward and took out his money pouch.
The waiter quickly resumed his professional fake smile, and without giving it much thought, followed the rules of the Rose Hotel, saying in an ambiguous tone:
"Excuse me, everyone, business is so good today, we only have one room left."
