Yu Xiaogang had only taken a few unsteady steps when—
Before he could even leave the training ground, a lively group of people approached from the opposite direction.
Leading them was a man in his early thirties, his features resolute and upright. Behind him followed seven or eight young men and women, all around sixteen or seventeen years old. Their attire varied in style, but every one of them carried an unmistakable air of confidence.
"Uncle?"
A familiar voice rang out.
Yu Xiaogang paused, then slowly raised his head.
The young man standing before him was none other than the direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan—his nominal nephew.
"Tianheng?"
Yu Xiaogang was slightly stunned, his voice hoarse. "Why are you here…?"
Yu Tianheng hadn't expected to run into his uncle here, much less see him looking so dispirited and broken. Suppressing his doubts, he explained,
"Teacher Qin brought us out for training. We took the opportunity to visit our alma mater and exchange ideas with the new students here."
"Dean Flender."
Qin Ming stepped forward and bowed respectfully. "It's been many years, but you still look as energetic as ever."
"Qin Ming…"
Flender patted him on the shoulder with clear admiration. "Good lad—you've really made a name for yourself."
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the atmosphere grew warm and cordial.
However, at that moment—
"Lord… Bai Mu!!!"
A surprised female voice suddenly rang out.
Everyone turned toward the sound and saw a beautiful purple-haired girl rush out from the Heavenly Dou team like a swallow returning to its nest.
She ignored everyone around her—ignored even the two girls standing at Bai Mu's sides—and threw herself straight into his arms.
"Bai Mu~ It's been so long since I've seen you! I missed you so much~"
Dugu Yan wrapped her arms tightly around his waist, pressing her face against his chest, her expression full of joy and affection.
Anyone who didn't know her well would immediately think she was hopelessly in love.
After all, a single day apart felt like three autumns.
"Yanzi?!"
Bai Mu was stunned at first, then pleasantly surprised. "Why are you here?"
He truly hadn't expected to meet Dugu Yan here.
It seemed the butterfly effect he had caused was growing larger and larger.
At the same time, another thought crossed his mind—
"Good thing I didn't leave this morning."
Sharing joy was always better than enjoying it alone. And being happy with four people was even better than three.
"I missed you…"
Dugu Yan leaned against him, her voice soft and sweet like melted honey.
There was nothing eerie about it at all.
This scene drew very different reactions from the crowd.
The members of the Heavenly Dou team—Oslo, Yu Feng, and the Shi brothers—stared at one another in confusion.
"Who is that guy?"
"She looks familiar… but I can't remember."
"No way! When did Sister Yanzi fall for someone like that?"
"Three girls at once… that's just infuriating!"
They were completely baffled.
Only at the very back of the group, in the eyes of the veiled girl who had remained silent the entire time, a faint light flickered.
Ye Lingling recalled Bai Mu—the mysterious boy from three years ago who had summoned that strange dragon-dog during the academy exchange.
That dragon-dog had been terrifyingly powerful, and the boy himself possessed an incredibly mysterious healing ability.
It was the first time she had ever seen a healing soul skill more profound than her own Nine Heart Begonia.
But for some reason, he had dropped out after only a few days.
As for Yu Tianheng—
His face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
His gaze was fixed on Dugu Yan, who was nestled in Bai Mu's arms.
Resentment, anger, and an indescribable pain surged within him.
He and Dugu Yan had once been deeply in love. Everything had been smooth, stable, and full of promise.
Then, a few months ago, Dugu Yan had mysteriously disappeared for several days.
When she returned, she broke up with him coldly. No matter how he tried to win her back, it was useless.
He had thought something terrible had happened—some hidden difficulty she couldn't talk about.
So this was the truth.
She had fallen in love with someone else.
No—what was so special about that man?!
How could he steal Yanzi's heart in just a few days?
What right did he have?!
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were also staring fixedly at Dugu Yan.
Ning Rongrong felt miserable.
She looked like a kitten whose treasured snack had just been stolen.
She had only just confirmed her relationship with Bai Mu, and they hadn't even had much time together yet. Where did this seductive, shameless woman come from?!
With so many men around, why was she clinging to her man?!
Who was she, anyway?!
Zhu Zhuqing said nothing, but her body leaned forward slightly, like an alert cat. Her gaze locked onto Dugu Yan, filled with the same sense of hostility.
Standing on either side of Bai Mu, the two girls unconsciously released a strong sense of opposition.
Dugu Yan, however, was not intimidated in the slightest.
She lifted her head from Bai Mu's chest, smiled charmingly, and a hint of provocation flashed through her purple eyes.
"Hello, my two little sisters~"
She emphasized the word sisters very clearly.
"My name is Dugu Yan," she said sweetly, "and I'm Bai Mu's chief."
As for chief of what, she didn't say.
She simply pressed her soft, snake-like body even closer to Bai Mu.
Chief.
Those two words exploded like a bomb.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing froze at the same time.
Ning Rongrong: Chief?! That's… the first wife?!
Zhu Zhuqing: Chief… then what are Rongrong and I supposed to be?
Dugu Yan watched their reactions with amusement, her smile deepening.
She had already figured it out.
Some things couldn't be changed—so she would accept them completely.
As long as she let go of the initial discomfort.
Besides, being with Bai Mu—someone capable in every way—felt reassuring.
Even her body felt extraordinarily comfortable.
Thinking of those nights with him, her body trembled slightly.
"Yanzi."
Bai Mu lowered his head and whispered into her ear. "Your grandfather has completed his task. When you return, your master will definitely reward you generously."
Dugu Yan's eyes lit up. She looked up at him, her watery purple eyes full of anticipation.
Then she licked her lips, savoring the thought.
"Then you absolutely have to reward Yanyan generously too~"
Her voice was soft and lingering, seductive like a feather brushing against the heart.
"Ugh—so disgusting!"
Ning Rongrong shivered, goosebumps rising all over her skin. Her little face scrunched up in disgust.
That woman—she was shameless! Openly seducing her man!
What?
Did she get together with him first?
She didn't care!
She was the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School—she would never admit defeat!
At that moment, Flender's voice rang out.
"Children, this is your senior, Qin Ming. He's already a Soul Emperor in his early thirties, and the pride of Shrek Academy."
He paused, then gestured toward Yu Tianheng and the others.
"This time, Qin Ming has specially brought the elite students of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy to exchange and learn with you."
"This is Yu Tianheng, captain of the Heavenly Dou team, a level thirty-nine power-attack Battle Soul Master…"
Flender introduced them one by one—only to realize that no one was actually listening.
Every gaze drifted in the same direction.
Bai Mu.
And the three beauties clinging to him—each with a completely different style.
Pure and sweet Ning Rongrong.
Alluring and charming Dugu Yan.
Cold yet voluptuous Zhu Zhuqing.
The three of them were pressed tightly against him like clingy kittens.
The boys were completely dumbfounded.
How did he manage to subdue three women at the same time?!
Even Ye Lingling, usually so calm and indifferent, showed a trace of curiosity.
She knew Dugu Yan very well.
The vice-captain might appear open and flirtatious, but her standards were extremely high. She would never show genuine affection to someone who wasn't truly worthy.
Yet the trust and attachment in Dugu Yan's eyes were unmistakably real.
Just what kind of magic did Bai Mu possess?
