"Excellent, that's how a boss should be! Let them know the academy isn't a place where mere freshmen can act so arrogantly."
The others chimed in with agreement, some even standing up to applaud, emphasizing the need to build up the atmosphere.
"It's getting late. Everyone, disperse. We'll discuss anything else tomorrow. Meet here again tomorrow."
Bai Cheng sat in his chair, waved his hand, and the Bai Gang's core members, including Bai Shan, turned and left the hall.
"Xiao Tian, is it? Let me see what your true strength is. What an interesting opponent."
Bai Cheng's calm expression gradually turned chilling.
…
Just as dawn broke, Xiao Tian woke from his sleep and glanced at Ya Fei, who was still sound asleep. His face showed both exhaustion and contentment. Xiao Tian gently kissed her forehead, then slowly got up and looked for his clothes, only to find them in shreds. There were also various other fragments scattered on the floor.
Xiao Tian smiled and pulled out a new set of clothes from his storage ring. He used Dou Qi to clear Ya Fei's scent from his body and put on his clothes.
"Hmph, heartless man. Won't you kiss me one more time before you go~?"
Ya Fei propped her head on her hand, her long, narrow phoenix eyes gazing at Xiao Tian with adoration, radiating a lazy aura. Faint red marks were visible on her neck.
Xiao Tian walked over to her, looked at her dotingly, and playfully flicked her nose. "Alright, with the utmost pleasure."
The current Ya Fei was becoming increasingly childish and dependent on him, more and more like a young woman in love. Of course, this was only when she was with him; outside, she remained that aloof, cold figure.
After a passionate kiss, Xiao Tian slowly released Ya Fei. "Alright, you should rest well. I'll come to see you often anyway, and if you miss me, you can just appear and find me."
Xiao Tian caressed Ya Fei's cheek and pulled the blanket over her.
"Hehe, alright then, I'll let you off for now. I'll go back to sleep for a bit."
Ya Fei, having gotten what she wanted, lay in bed with a smile in her eyes and fell asleep.
Xiao Tian looked at her with tender eyes, then waved his hand, making everything disappear. The room instantly became as clean as it was originally. He stepped out of her bedchamber.
Outside, he saw Medusa training Qing Lin by the lake in the martial arts training ground.
Currently, Medusa only did a few things each day: helping manage Heaven Suppressing Hall, taking Qing Lin out to play, searching for Soul Fusion Pill ingredients, and training Qing Lin.
"Don't resist! The more you resist, the more excited I get!"
Xiao Tian scratched his head. He didn't know why, but he felt this sentence was very familiar. It was as if he had said it himself when he and Ya Fei were role-playing.
Xiao Tian looked at Medusa strangely. You, Cai Li, you actually eavesdropped and spied. I didn't expect you to be this kind of person — a Peeping Medusa.
"You scoundrel, coming back and acting like this. Indeed, men are only honest when they're hung on a wall."
Medusa appeared beside Xiao Tian, her voice alluring yet tinged with a hint of anger.
"Then should I come find you? Are you jealous?"
Xiao Tian smirked as he swept his gaze over Medusa's graceful figure. She felt Xiao Tian's aggressive stare, and her body trembled slightly.
"None of your business. Me, jealous of you? Who do you think you are to me? Hmph. If you dare come, I'll snip you."
Medusa tilted her head slightly, glanced at a certain part of Xiao Tian, and then vanished after leaving that remark. Xiao Tian vaguely saw a faint blush on her face.
So weak yet so playful. She had to come over and act haughty for a few words, only to end up fleeing in disarray.
Qing Lin, who was diligently training, saw Xiao Tian. Her eyes instantly filled with surprise as she revealed a pure smile. She ran toward Xiao Tian, her twin pigtails flying as she ran. As she drew closer to Xiao Tian, just a few steps away, her feet leaped high, like a nimble swallow returning to its nest.
Her voice, filled with uncontrollable joy, cried out, "Young Master~ I missed you so much!"
This cry was full of affection and dependence, and even more so, a deep love.
Xiao Tian opened his arms to embrace the pouncing Qing Lin. The next moment, Qing Lin's soft body threw itself heavily into Xiao Tian's arms. He wrapped his arm around her slender waist and supported her to prevent her from sliding down. Qing Lin's legs bent in sequence, wrapping around Xiao Tian's waist, and her arms encircled his neck. Her large eyes narrowed into crescent moons, her azure pupils staring directly at Xiao Tian. Her entire being exuded an alluring scent. This was the innate charm ability of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils.
"I missed you too, Qing Lin."
Xiao Tian directly captured Qing Lin's mouth as she was about to speak. The two kissed passionately, expressing their mutual longing. He only released her when Qing Lin was out of breath.
"Young Master, I've been cultivating very diligently during this time."
Xiao Tian sensed Qing Lin's cultivation realm. She had actually reached Three-Star Dou Ling.
"Qing Lin is indeed exceptionally talented. She's already broken through after only a few days."
Qing Lin continuously absorbed the power of the Nine-Headed Serpent's soul every day, and her realm improved incredibly fast.
"Little girl, don't cling to your Young Master anymore. Go back to your cultivation."
Medusa appeared beside them, speaking to Qing Lin in a deep voice. For what specific reason, only she herself knew.
"Go on. I'll come back to accompany you tonight."
Qing Lin heard Xiao Tian's words and nodded happily. "Then I'll wait for you, Young Master."
Medusa also saw that Xiao Tian indeed had something to do. She directly pinched the back of Qing Lin's neck, lifted her, and returned to the martial arts training ground to continue drilling her.
Xiao Tian glanced at them, then directly left the Eternal Dream Realm and returned to the hall.
Meanwhile, Medusa in the Eternal Dream Realm looked at the spot where Xiao Tian had left, remaining silent for a long time, lost in thought.
"Sister Cai Li, why is your face so red? Are you feeling unwell?"
Qing Lin asked, looking at Medusa's appearance with confusion.
"Little girl, keep practicing. Don't be lazy. Don't pry into your sister's business."
Medusa, seeing that her appearance had been noticed, turned and left.
"Do you think I don't know? Sister Cai Li, you've been looking at where Young Master left. You've fallen for Young Master too, haven't you? Hmph, I knew it all along."
Qing Lin murmured softly. Medusa, as a Dou Zong, naturally heard Qing Lin's words. Her departing steps faltered, and then she moved faster to leave.
…
Just as Xiao Tian was about to leave the hall to go find Xun'er, an ill-intentioned shout came from outside the door.
"Xiao Tian, people of Boundless Gate, come out!"
Xiao Tian sensed three Dou Ling auras outside, one of whom was a Six-Star Dou Ling. Along with multiple Da Dou Shi auras and their obvious malice, he figured it must be people from the Bai Gang.
Xiao Tian walked toward the door and opened it, revealing nearly twenty young men standing not far from the entrance. The leading man bore some resemblance to Bai Shan. Seeing Xiao Tian emerge, the man and Xiao Tian exchanged glances, and his chilling eyes instantly transformed into a fake smile.
"You must be Xiao Tian, the leader of Boundless Gate, right? Bai Shan often mentions you."
Bai Cheng came before Xiao Tian and extended a hand in a handshake gesture toward him.
At that moment, Xiao Yan, Xun'er, and the others streamed out from the pavilion. Other freshmen also rushed over upon hearing the commotion. They all stood behind Xiao Tian, looking at the ill-intentioned members of the Bai Gang.
"Boss, this is Bai Cheng, the leader of the Bai Gang."
A Tai came to Xiao Tian's side and whispered. Xiao Tian nodded upon hearing this.
"That would be me. May I ask what advice the Bai Gang Leader has? Are you here to demand an explanation for yesterday's events?"
Xiao Tian extended his hand and shook Bai Cheng's hand.
