A Bite of Douluo Continent

Do teachers have mind-reading abilities?

I was just agonizing over this when the teacher brought it up on my own initiative.

but…

Ye Lingqing's expression instantly became excited, "Yes, teacher!"

"You know what ingredients are needed for each of the two-star recipes in the shop," Qi Han smiled. "I'm going out for a bit later, so you can review the properties of each ingredient again."

"Yes!"

Ye Lingqing nodded heavily.

Seeing his disciple's unprecedented interest in learning, Qi Han smiled slightly and led Zhuiyun to the backyard.

If Ye Lingqing graduates sooner, I'll have more time to do other things, and I can also complete side quest eighteen along the way.

Kill two birds with one stone.

After giving instructions to his disciple, it was time to go find Yu Lianxin.

Although Qi Han was still on Cold Food Festival, his heart had already flown to Shrek Academy.

...

In a quiet, serene room on Poseidon Island, Yu Lianxin sat cross-legged and slowly ended her meditation.

She slowly opened her bright, lake-blue eyes, and then couldn't help but murmur to herself.

"Seven days have passed..."

I wonder how Qi Han is doing.

Thinking of the scene of her kissing Qi Han by the Yin-Yang Well, a blush slowly rose on her fair and delicate face.

I miss him so much...

Now she finally understood why couples in the inner courtyard felt like they were dying after being apart for just a few days.

When you like someone, you probably want to be by their side all the time.

A slight smile appeared on her face as she stood up from the meditation cushion and walked towards the door.

Let's go see the teacher first, and then take a stroll around Hanshi Festival.

Yu Lianxin believed that Qi Han would not break his promise, so he would probably be back soon.

Would he be very happy if he saw me on Cold Food Festival?

whee!

As she thought about it, Yu Lianxin's smile became more expectant and nervous.

Like a silly little fool who's been blinded by love.

After taking a few steps out of the quiet room, Yu Lianxin quickly headed towards the Sea God Pavilion.

...

"Teacher, I've come to see you!"

Pushing open Ying Ruoruo's door, Yu Lianxin walked in with a smile and, unsurprisingly, saw Qi Poxiao accompanying Ying Ruoruo. "Greetings, Pavilion Master."

"Hmm." Qi Po-xiao coughed lightly, nodded reservedly, and sat back down on the sofa.

Ying Ruoruo's face was flushed, and her youthful beauty was even more radiant. She smiled at Yu Lianxin, walked over and sat down beside her, "Has the medicinal effect of the Moonflower Grass been completely absorbed?"

“Mm!” Yu Lianxin nodded.

Moonflower Grass is the immortal herb that Yu Lianxin consumed when she underwent Youyou's test in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.

She was in such a hurry to save lives that she didn't pay attention to the herb. After Qi Han woke up, she was so happy that she completely forgot about it.

It wasn't until she returned with her teacher that Yu Lianxin thought about the changes that had occurred to her martial soul, and that's when she started asking Ying Ruoruo about it.

Ying Ruoruo also didn't know the origin of this immortal herb. Fortunately, there were quite a few elders in the Sea God Pavilion who were proficient in this field. With their help, Yu Lianxin quickly learned that the immortal herb she had consumed was called Moonflower Grass. Legend has it that it was transformed from the Moon Goddess and contained a rich and pure essence of the moon.

No wonder Yu Lianxin's Moon Wheel Martial Soul had such an effect after being absorbed.

According to the elders' estimation, Yu Lianxin had not fully absorbed the essence of the Moonflower Grass; some of it remained hidden within her body. Therefore, over the past few days, Yu Lianxin had been thoroughly absorbing the essence of this immortal herb to better enhance her martial spirit.

Persistence pays off, and she has finally emerged from seclusion.

"It's good that it's absorbed." Ying Ruoruo nodded, then suddenly remembered something, "I heard you say that Qi Han promised to come back in seven days, which should be around today, right?"

"Hmm..." Yu Lianxin nodded shyly, her head bowed.

"No wonder you came out of seclusion today, girl." Ying Ruoruo rolled her eyes and said irritably.

"Hehe, no, it's just a coincidence..." Yu Lianxin shook Ying Ruoruo's arm and said in a sweet voice.

"Yes, yes, it's just a coincidence." Ying Ruoruo glanced at Yu Lianxin. "Are you going to go find him later?"

“Yes.” Yu Lianxin’s expression became expectant when this was mentioned.

"You silly girl... go ahead, take this with you too." Ying Ruoruo shook her head and took out a wooden box, handing it to Yu Lianxin.

"What's this?" Yu Lianxin curiously opened the wooden box, and after seeing the small, dark blue knife lying quietly inside, her face showed a hint of surprise. "This is that knife?"

Looking at the familiar dagger in front of her, the image of Qi Han using it to kill that evil soul master immediately flashed into Yu Lianxin's mind.

A touch of emotion immediately appeared on her face as she gently stroked the hilt and blade with her fingertips.

“Girl, the man you love is no ordinary person,” Ying Ruoruo said softly, her eyes filled with a complex emotion. “This knife possesses the power of a god.”

"A deity?" Yu Lianxin's fingers, which were gently stroking the blade, paused slightly, a look of surprise on her face, followed by a sudden realization.

On the way back to Shrek City, Yu Lianxin learned all the details of their escape from danger from other students in the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy.

Like herself, the students were also saved by Qi Han, and from their words, Yu Lianxin already knew about Qi Han's strength.

Seven rings... all spirit rings are ten thousand years old... the martial spirit is a blade...

She couldn't help but think of the six-ring powerhouse who had suddenly appeared and helped her when she faced an eight-ring evil soul master.

How could there be such a coincidence in this world?

So, a month ago, it must have been him who used his sixth-ring cultivation level to get himself out of trouble.

Even so, Qi Han's own strength was still insufficient to match that evil soul master at the Super Douluo level.

So... he killed that evil soul master at the Super Douluo level with a single strike, relying on the power of a god?

"The power within this knife has been completely exhausted; it is now just an ordinary dagger." Qi Po-xiao coughed lightly and slowly spoke, "But judging from the remaining traces of power, it is undoubtedly at the level of a legendary deity."

"Therefore, Qi Han is very likely a successor of a deity, or related to the succession of a certain deity." Qi Po Xiao's tone became slightly more serious, and his eyes were filled with envy.

Even he was spending his entire life pursuing that realm.

However, Qi Han had already made contact with a certain deity.

Yu Lianxin sat quietly in place.

A successor of the gods...

No wonder he went to that mysterious golden and silver palace.

No wonder his cultivation level improved so quickly.

No wonder a mysterious voice appeared when Qi Han's chest was pierced.

So that's how it is...?

Some things that were once incomprehensible were quietly connected by her.

Soon, a bright smile appeared on Yu Lianxin's face. "Teacher, Sect Leader, no matter who he is, he is my lover now, isn't he?"

"Not bad." Ying Ruoruo chuckled. "It's good that you think that way. Go, return this knife to him."

"Okay! I'll head over now!" Yu Lianxin nodded emphatically, closed the wooden box again, and got up to take her leave.

...

Ye Haoran regretted it.

His distant cousin came to Shrek City to play, and because he and this distant cousin had played together very well when they were young, Ye Haoran volunteered to be his cousin's guide.

However, after not seeing him for several years, this cousin seemed to have become much more talkative.

As they walked, his cousin's constant chatter flooded Ye Haoran's head, giving him a headache.

"Brother Hong, this is the gate of Shrek Academy."

The two arrived at the main gate of Shrek Academy. Ye Haoran pointed to the magnificent gate of Shrek Academy and spoke with a smile.

"It's a pity, my talent was a little lacking, and I didn't get into Shrek Academy back then." Ye Hong shook his head, sighed softly, and then asked with some interest, "Haoran, can I go in for a visit?"

“No.” Ye Haoran shook his head. “Except for Shrek Academy’s annual open day, non-students and teachers are not allowed to enter. If you want to see someone, you can only apply through the gatekeeper and then wait for the other person to come out to meet you.”

"Huh?" Ye Hong chuckled. "Wouldn't it be very inconvenient if some students from Shrek Academy were dating outsiders?"

Ye Haoran was speechless for a moment, wondering how his cousin had suddenly made this connection, but he still patiently said, "Generally not. Outstanding students in our academy usually hang out with other students in the academy."

"Oh." Ye Hong nodded, a knowing look on his face, then winked at Ye Haoran, "Haoran, do you have someone you like?"

"I..." Ye Haoran was speechless for a moment. Suddenly, the image of Senior Sister Fuya flashed through his mind. Then, blushing, he shook his head violently. "No!"

"No, that won't do. You need to step up your game." Ye Hong shook his head, then paused slightly, reaching out a hand to nudge Ye Haoran's shoulder. "Hey, who's that?"

"Huh?" Following his cousin's finger, Ye Haoran looked surprised. "That's the senior sister of the inner courtyard. What's wrong?"

"Um..." Ye Hong coughed lightly, "Is your inner courtyard's senior sister... still single?"

Seeing the strange look Ye Haoran gave him, Ye Hong felt a little embarrassed. "If he's single, what's wrong with me getting to know him?"

“He should be single.” Ye Haoran’s expression turned strange. “However… I advise you not to go.”

Although her cousin had the strength of a sixth-ring cultivator, he was no match for her senior sister.

They'll probably get a severe lesson.

"I'll give it a try." Watching the figure walking quickly towards the school gate in the distance, Ye Hong's face showed a hint of eagerness, completely ignoring his cousin's advice.

However, after taking only two steps, Ye Hong suddenly stopped in his tracks, revealing a heartbroken and indignant expression.

A stunningly beautiful silver-haired figure, smiling sweetly, strode out of the school gate and into a man's arms.

In a daze, Ye Hong seemed to hear the sound of his own heart breaking.
