Legend of the Dragon King: I really didn't mean to provoke them!

His bright red eyes, like copper bells, were bulging out of their sockets, and his white, spiky hair was almost standing on end.

Shen Yi covered his mouth, so shocked that he forgot to breathe and stood frozen in place.

But none of them dared to utter a single extra word.

Who is Long Yeyue?

She is not only the deputy head of the Sea God Pavilion, but also the oldest living fossil in the entire Shrek Academy.

Her husband was the previous Sea God Pavilion Master, and she is the current Pavilion Master Yun Ming's teacher's wife. Even the Federal Council has to show her respect.

What she said was the golden rule at Shrek Academy.

Let alone the two of them, even if Yun Ming himself came, he wouldn't dare to utter a single word of rebuttal.

Xie Xie was completely dumbfounded.

He was still thinking of using his status as a disciple of Zhuoshi to work his way up step by step, but now he's taken it all in one go?

Not only did he personally guide his cultivation, but he also guaranteed that he would be granted a title by the age of twenty-three, and even promised him the position of the future Vice Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion, and asked him to compete for the position of Pavilion Master??

But Xie Xie thought about it carefully—

Once you agree, you'll essentially become one of Shrek's own.

This way, not only would they have Long Yeyue as a backer and be considered one of their own, the Xie family would also have the opportunity to expand into the very center of the mainland.

Given the opportunity, Old Deng will absolutely not let himself down.

There's no need to worry about any Shrek Loyalty Gu. Anyway, Shrek Academy will be blown up soon, with many dead and others gone. At that time, the highest authority in Shrek will be their own teacher, Wu Changkong.

The only surviving top fighter, Long Yeyue, was also his teacher.

It can only be said that it is entirely beneficial and without any harm.

Xie Xie's mind raced, and without the slightest hesitation, he knelt firmly on the bluestone slab with a "thump" and respectfully kowtowed to Long Yeyue.

The sound was so clear it could penetrate the entire room.

"Disciple Xie Xie greets Master!"

This kneeling was swift and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.

Long Yeyue stretched out her withered hand, her fingertips trembling slightly, and gently placed it on Xie Xie's head.

"well……"

She repeated that one word over and over, her voice as soft as a sigh, yet filled with boundless relief and joy. She had truly found the person who could carry on her legacy.

Chapter 150 A Child Who Knows How to Flirt Gets Candy

Long Yeyue withdrew her hand and gently flicked her fingertips in the air.

A storage ring, entirely black and engraved with yin-yang fish patterns, appeared out of thin air in her palm. The ring face shimmered with a faint halo, clearly indicating that it was no ordinary item.

She handed the ring to Xie Xie.

"This is a small gift from your master. Take the pills inside to strengthen your foundation and cultivate your vital energy. Keep the medicinal herbs, and I will teach you how to refine exclusive pills suitable for your Light and Dark Martial Souls in the future."

Xie Xie quickly took it with both hands, and the moment his soul power entered the ring, he froze on the spot.

The space inside the ring was surprisingly large, with rows of jade bottles and boxes neatly stacked inside.

He then picked up a jade box next to him, opened it, and found a herb inside that was entirely crimson with golden dragon patterns flowing on its leaves. It was the Ten-Thousand-Year Dragon Blood Grass, which could temper the essence of dragon martial souls.

Scroll down further—

Dark Moon Spirit Flower, Yin-Yang Twin Fruit, Thousand-Year Ice Marrow, Ten-Thousand-Year Fire Crystal...

Various rare medicinal herbs, which he had only seen in ancient books, were piled up in the corner like cabbages, dazzling him.

Xie Xie picked up another jade bottle, uncorked it, and a refreshing fragrance instantly filled the air, making the room feel sweeter.

The bottle is engraved with five characters: "Light and Darkness Concentrating Spirit Pill".

"This...this is the Light and Darkness Condensing Spirit Pill?!" Xie Xie's voice trembled.

This is a legendary elixir that can nourish souls with both light and dark attributes simultaneously. A single pill can fetch an astronomical price, and it is extremely rare and difficult to find.

What shocked him most was that deep inside the ring was a piece of pure white soul bone!

"Teacher...this is too much..." Xie Xie swallowed hard, his hands trembling. He had never seen more treasures in his entire life than this one ring contained.

Is this the essence of Shrek Academy?

These precious resources, such as emotions, are controlled by a few people, and people from other departments don't even have the opportunity to have contact with them.

not much."

Long Yeyue said calmly, "You are my only true disciple, these things should have been yours."

Upon seeing the bottle containing the Light and Darkness Condensing Spirit Pill in Xie Xie's hand, Zhuo Shi spat out the mouthful of tea he had just drunk.

"puff--!"

"Elder Long, it takes you several years to refine just one of those pills, and you gave them all to this kid?!"

Long Yeyue glanced at him sideways, her tone calm yet carrying an undeniable authority: "My disciple should naturally be given the best. Do you have a problem with that?"

Zhuoshi was immediately speechless. He opened his mouth, but could only snort angrily and turn his head away.

Xie Xie quickly stuffed the jade bottle back in, carefully put it back into his storage ring, and then put the ring on the middle finger of his left hand.

Immediately afterward, his eyes darted around, and he quickly moved closer to Long Yeyue, bending over at just the right angle, his eyes blinking rapidly.

"Teacher, you're so kind! You love your students the most, don't you?"

As he spoke, he reached out and gently tugged at the hem of Long Yeyue's cloak.

Long Yeyue was taken aback by his sudden display of affection, then shook her head helplessly, but a smile spread across her eyes.

She had lived for over two hundred years and had seen countless calm and composed geniuses, but she had never seen such a clever and lively child who dared to openly act coquettishly towards her. Instead, she felt a sense of novelty and tenderness in her heart.

"You little rascal, you've just received a bribe and you're already acting all innocent."

She reached out and gently tapped Xie Xie's forehead with her finger. "Speak, what do you need from me this time?"

Xie Xie wasn't embarrassed at all when his thoughts were exposed; instead, he smiled even more sweetly.

Xie Xie solemnly recounted his absence from the exam, his tone earnest and each word resounding:

"Teacher, I know that Shrek Academy's rules are strict and impartial, and there has never been a precedent for making up exams."

"But they put in unimaginable effort to get into Shrek Academy. And because of this accident, all their hard work and effort were wasted... I..."

Xie Xie gritted his teeth, "I'm not reconciled."

"I am their vice-captain, I can't abandon them. I'm not asking you to give them special treatment, I just ask that you give them a chance to retake the exam."

After saying that, he bowed deeply to Long Yeyue.

The room fell silent, save for the rustling of leaves in the wind outside the window.

Zhuoshi crossed his arms, glanced at him with his crimson eyes, and snorted, "You're quite the loyal one, kid."

"But Shrek Academy's rules have been established for tens of thousands of years. How can they be broken just like that? If everyone were like you, having to retake exams for the slightest accident, where would the academy's reputation be?"

Despite saying that, he wasn't really angry. He just picked up his teacup, took a sip, and secretly glanced at Shen Yi out of the corner of his eye.

Shen Yi understood immediately and sighed softly from the side.

"The teacher is telling the truth. In previous years, even if a federal congressman's child missed the exam due to a serious illness, they could only wait until the next time. There has never been an exception."

Xie Xie did not look up, maintaining his bowing posture.

Nonsense, federal lawmakers aren't family, why should we make an exception for them?

But he's different; he's now Long Yeyue's personal disciple.

Long Yeyue looked at him quietly.

Sunlight streamed through the carved window lattice, casting dappled shadows on her black cloak, light and darkness silently swirling around her.

Looking at the undisguised sincerity and sense of responsibility in Xie Xie's eyes, her smile deepened.

She had lived for two hundred years and had seen too many exceptionally talented yet selfish and cold-hearted geniuses. For their own future, they could abandon their companions and betray their sect without hesitation.

But Xie Xie is different.

He had already risen to the top and become her true disciple, with a bright future ahead of him, yet he still cared about his companions and was even willing to give up his own interests for them.

This deep sense of loyalty and righteousness is a hundred times more precious than his unique dual martial soul of light and darkness.

(Xie Xie's P.S.: If I give up, I give up. I can pick it up again in a bit.)

"Get up."

She spoke slowly, her voice calm yet carrying an undeniable weight: "Rules are rigid, but people are flexible."

"Shrek Academy has been established for thousands of years. It has never accepted wooden sticks that only follow the rules, but soul masters with flesh and blood, feelings and righteousness."

"Shrek would be losing out if they didn't accept a kid who's willing to give up his own opportunities for his friends."

Xie Xie suddenly looked up. "Teacher, you agreed?"

"Okay." Long Yeyue nodded, then turned to Shen Yi, "Shen Yi, go and make the arrangements. Have those three children come to take the make-up exam in three days."

"The assessment criteria are exactly the same as the formal assessment, and there can be no leniency whatsoever. If they don't even have this much ability, even if my disciple pleads for them, it won't be of any use."

"Yes, Elder Long!" Shen Yi immediately replied, his eyes full of smiles as he looked at Xie Xie.

Sure enough, Old Master Long fell for it.

"Hmph, only a brat like you has that kind of face." Zhuo Shi curled his lip and said sourly.

Xie Xie immediately turned around and gave Zhuo Shi a sweet smile: "Thank you, Grandmaster! You're the best, Grandmaster!"

"Who is your grandmaster! Stop trying to claim any connection!" Zhuoshi glared and puffed out his beard, but couldn't help reaching out to gently ruffle his hair, using very light pressure.

"Go in and cultivate diligently, don't embarrass Elder Long and your... Teacher Wu."

Xie Xie's eyes lit up again, "Grandmaster, have you forgiven Teacher Wu?"

"Humph!"

Chapter 151 On the Eve of the Exam

In the hotel on the other side, Gu Yue and Xu Xiaoyan waited and waited. Just when Gu Yue was about to lose her patience, there was a knock on the door.

Xu Xiaoyan stepped forward and opened the door.

Standing outside the door were none other than Shen Yi and Xie Xie.

"Hey hey hey! Did you miss me?" Xie Xie squeezed in from the edge of the doorway, carrying a bunch of things, and handed them out to Gu Yue and Xu Xiaoyan one by one.

"Gu Yueyue, this is for you." Xie Xie handed her two paper packages, a glass of juice, and a glass of yogurt. "There are roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) in the paper packages. Eat them while they're hot. If you feel greasy, drink some juice or yogurt."

Immediately afterwards, Xie Xie handed a paper package and a bottle of yogurt to Xu Xiaoyan.

"Here's your sandwich. I've added jam and two fried eggs, and the yogurt is hot too. Drink it while it's hot."

Xu Xiaoyan practically lunged forward to catch it, her eyes instantly lighting up as if they held two tiny stars.

"Oh my god, Xie Xie! You're an angel! Gu Yue and I were just saying we were starving!" With that, she gave Xie Xie a big hug.

"Of course, I'm more angelic than an angel, so you'd better eat."

Xie Xie freed one hand and gently patted Xu Xiaoyan on the back.

Gu Yue was a beat slow in reaching out.

Her fingertips brushed against Xie Xie's knuckles unintentionally, causing him to flinch slightly as if he had been burned.

She lowered her eyes, looking at the steaming roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) in her hand, then glanced at the juice and warm yogurt with straws already inserted next to her, her long eyelashes trembling several times.

Gu Yue didn't eat right away, but instead beckoned to Xie Xie.
