Chapter 124 Wang Dong'er started daydreaming again.
Among the mountains outside Tiandou City, there is a mountain peak that pierces straight through the sea of clouds, with a majestic and precipitous terrain.
Amidst the rolling sea of clouds, a gray castle with an ancient charm stands atop the clouds, adding to its majestic and secluded grandeur.
Inside a hall somewhere in Haotian Fort, two extremely robust middle-aged figures sat facing each other at a dining table, clinking glasses and chatting endlessly.
Several empty wine jars were already laid out on the table, indicating that Niu Tian and Titan, the sect leaders of Haotian Sect, had been drinking for quite some time.
Titan, holding a huge wine bowl, drank it all in one gulp and slammed it onto the table, grumbling, "Brother, do you think Xiao Dong has been possessed since he came back after only a year away?"
In just one short year, Wang Dong'er, who used to sleep until noon and never get up earlier than that, has now managed to get up early and go to bed late, diligently cultivating and even taking the initiative to practice the Haotian Secret Technique.
This unusual behavior startled her two elderly fathers, who usually doted on her.
Niu Tian, who was also holding a wine bowl and savoring the wine, suddenly focused his gaze and then sighed softly.
"You big oaf, can't you see at all? Xiaodong is clearly in love."
Titan's brown-yellow eyes suddenly flashed with ferocity, and he slammed his huge, fan-like hand down on the table with a dull thud.
"I knew it, there's poison in the human world. Back then, Sister Xiaowu was like this, and now Xiaodong has become like this after going out for a while."
"I really don't understand why Tang San insists on sending Xiaodong to Shrek Academy. Is there something wrong with her staying in our Clear Sky Sect and cultivating peacefully?"
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He grabbed a wine jar next to him, poured himself a large bowlful, drank it all in one gulp, and then wiped the wine stains from the corners of his mouth.
"Big brother, after school starts, let's go to Shrek Academy with Dong'er and see what that brat is all about, and whether he's good enough for our Dong."
But if I find out he's a scoundrel with ill intentions, trying to deceive Xiaodong's feelings, I'll just slap him to death to avoid causing any big trouble later.
Upon hearing this, Niu Tian waved his hand and chuckled:
"You've lived for so long, how come you still act so recklessly and impulsively? Besides, I believe Xiaodong knows her place, and no one can truly get close to her. Have you forgotten?"
As he spoke, he pointed to his forehead with his finger.
Titan was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Hey, look at my memory! I even forgot about that when I got flustered. But speaking of which, bro, what's it really like being in love?"
Niu Tian's lips twitched slightly, looking somewhat speechless: "Second brother, you're not like me, and it's not like there aren't other Titan apes like you. If you're really in heat, go find those female Titan apes yourself."
Niu Tian's true form is a mutated Azure Bull Python, and there are no other similar creatures among them.
In the world of soul beasts, different species of soul beasts almost never mate and reproduce.
Titan's words were like rubbing salt into Niu Tian's wounds.
Titan scratched his cheek, and this rugged and burly man, who looked so bold and imposing, seemed a little awkward at the moment.
"Brother, I was just saying. Women and stuff like that only affect the speed of my Titan Fist. Let's not talk about this anymore. Come on, let's continue drinking, until we're drunk."
As Titan spoke, he grabbed another unopened wine jar beside him, preparing to pour more wine.
Suddenly, the door to the lobby was pushed open, and a pink and blue figure rushed in.
The commotion startled Niu Tian and Titan, who quickly put all the wine jars on the table into their respective storage soul tools.
Wang Dong'er sniffed the lingering strong smell of alcohol in the air and said with displeasure, "Uncle, Uncle, you two are secretly drinking here again, aren't you?"
Niu Tian and Titan exchanged a glance, and Titan grinned, revealing a somewhat ingratiating smile.
"Xiao Dong, you know perfectly well that this is the only hobby your eldest and second uncles have left."
"Hmph, I'm in a good mood today, so I won't hold this against my eldest and second fathers." Wang Dong'er huffed and crossed her arms.
Upon hearing this, both Niu Tian and Titan showed expressions of surprise and delight.
"real?!"
"Hmm. But..." Wang Dong'er changed the subject, "Big Father, Second Father, do you have any soul tools with a larger storage space?"
Niu Tian looked puzzled: "Xiao Dong, what do you need such a large storage space for in a soul tool? You probably don't have much luggage to take to the academy, right?"
Wang Dong'er's fair face flushed, and she said shyly:
"Oh, I think that Ice Jade Marrow Bed in the Cold Jade Room is quite nice. It would be perfect for one of my classmates to use for cultivation, so I was thinking, could we bring it to the academy together?"
Niu Tian wiped the sweat that had suddenly appeared on his forehead and quickly tried to comfort him:
"Xiao Dong, your classmate's current cultivation level shouldn't be able to use that Frost Jade Marrow Bed, right?"
Furthermore, the Frost Jade Marrow Bed requires specific environmental conditions to be used; it's not something you can just take out and use directly.
Upon hearing Niu Tian's words, Wang Dong'er's eyes visibly darkened, and her tone became somewhat disappointed.
"I see. Well then, I guess I'll just have to take those rare and precious herbs from the treasure vault back with me. The effects should be about the same, right?"
As she spoke, Wang Dong'er turned and left in disappointment.
Niu Tian originally wanted to say something about not being able to touch the things in the sect's treasury, but looking at Wang Dong'er's appearance, his lips moved slightly, but he didn't dare to say anything more.
Titan let out a long sigh after Wang Dong'er's figure disappeared outside the hall.
"Big brother, it's so similar, it's just like that. Back then, Sister Xiaowu was the same way, her heart and eyes were only for that kid Tang San."
"You better shut up!"
Niu Tian glared at Titan with annoyance and slapped him on the forehead.
"Isn't Xiaodong going back to the academy in the next few days? Let's go with her and take a look. I want to see for myself what kind of person that brat really is."
Titan wasn't annoyed by the tap; instead, he scratched his head and grinned after hearing Niu Tian's words. He stretched, and his bones crackled and popped like muffled thunder.
"Hehe, big brother, I told you so. That kid thinks he can just steal Xiaodong's heart away without a word? It's not that easy. He'll have to ask us, his fathers, for permission first!"
……
Outside the east gate of Shrek Academy.
Although the designated start date for the semester has not yet arrived, the area outside the college gates is already packed with people.
Aside from the returning students who came back early to prepare for the upcoming academic year's assessments, there were mostly teenagers who came with their parents and relatives to register for the new student entrance examinations.
The noisy crowd suddenly fell silent upon the appearance of a stunningly beautiful girl in pink and blue.
However, when everyone's attention was drawn to the two burly men with fierce expressions following behind her, the boys who had initially been eager to approach her with burning eyes quickly abandoned their plans.
Look at those two burly men, both over two meters tall, with bulging muscles all over their bodies. They could probably flatten my small frame with just one slap.
Wang Dong'er was completely oblivious to the various gazes directed at her from all around; her face was filled with undisguised joy.
During this holiday, she cultivated diligently day and night. With the help of the Haotian Sect's secret techniques and the rare treasures in the sect's treasury, she successfully broke through to the Soul Venerable realm.
Hmph, let's see how Huo Yuhao will mock me for being a lazy dog this time.
Especially when she thought about her good sisters, who were probably still at the Great Soul Master level, Wang Dong'er felt a surge of secret pleasure.
This is called developing secretly and then stunning everyone.
Wang Dong'er started to daydream happily again. Just thinking about being able to suppress Huo Yuhao in the future and achieve her small goal made her chuckle softly.
Titan looked at Wang Dong'er's appearance, scratched his big head in confusion, and asked in a low voice:
"Big brother, what's wrong with Xiaodong? She's been grinning like an idiot all morning. I remember Sister Xiaowu didn't grin like this back then."
Niu Tian couldn't help but glare at Titan beside him.
"How would I know what happened? Anyway, I've already found out the kid's name from Xiao Dong."
"We'll take that old man from the Sea God Pavilion with us then, so that the younger generation won't accuse us of bullying the weak."
After entering the academy, Wang Dong'er waved to Niu Tian and Titan, "Uncle and Uncle, I'm leaving now. You should hurry back to your sect too." After saying that, she ran directly towards the academy dormitory.
Niu Tian and Titan exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes. The next moment, they vanished from the spot in a flash.
Sea God Pavilion, in the main hall on the first floor.
Mu En, who was leisurely lying on the recliner with his eyes slightly narrowed and gently rocking the chair, suddenly opened his eyes and his aged voice rang out.
"What brings you two distinguished guests to this old man's place today?"
"Huh!"
After revealing his figure, Niu Tian looked at Mu En with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Compared to the last time I saw this old man, when he looked very frail, now his body was brimming with renewed vitality.
"Moun, someone actually managed to solve the problem of the dragon core inside you."
Niu Tian's true form is a mutated Azure Bull Python with some Azure Dragon bloodline.
He could naturally tell last time that the Sea God Pavilion Master was deeply affected by the evil energy of the Dragon Pill, and probably wouldn't live for many more years.
Unless a powerful being with the same attributes and the bloodline of a true dragon intervenes, even a god would find it difficult to save them.
Moon smiled calmly, showing no intention of telling him.
"The two sect leaders of Haotian Sect have come to visit my Sea God Pavilion today, surely not to discuss this matter with this old man?"
The impatient Titan, before his companion could exchange any more pleasantries, spoke up in a loud voice:
"We've come here looking for a student. You should also know what happened after our Haotian Sect's young sect leader enrolled."
We don't want to make things difficult for that kid named Huo Yuhao, but there are some things we need to clarify with him face-to-face.
When Titan, who was a soul beast and had little affection for humans, learned that Huo Yuhao was surrounded by a lot of romantic affairs and had ambiguous relationships with many women, he became even more angry with Huo Yuhao.
You dare to do things that even Tang San didn't dare to do back then?
This is why Niu Tian insisted on visiting Moon before coming to Shrek Academy.
Otherwise, he was genuinely worried that with Titan's fiery temper, he might lose control and slap that human to death.
"Huo Yuhao?"
Moon stood up with a murmur, looking at Titan's furious expression, he knew exactly what Titan was thinking.
He had encountered this situation several times when he was young: his younger relatives had gotten involved in romantic entanglements outside the family, and as a result, the other party's elders came knocking on his door.
However, back then, it was all his teachers who stepped in to resolve these troubles for him.
Who would have thought that fortunes would turn around and that I would be the one dealing with this kind of thing today.
After a bitter smile to himself, Moon's previously slightly hunched posture straightened up a bit.
"Sect Master Haotian, did you two inquire about the young sect master's wishes before you came? If some things are not handled properly, they may backfire and damage the harmony between our two families."
Niu Tian's gaze sharpened as he sensed the aura emanating from the other party. He raised his hand and slapped Titan on the head, who was about to speak again, stopping him from continuing. Then, he spoke in a deep voice, "I wonder what Elder Mu means by this?"
Mu En smiled gently and said, "There are still a few days before the academy officially starts. Why don't the two sect leaders stay here in the Sea God Pavilion for the time being?"
"After a few days, once Yuhao arrives at the academy, our two families can sit down and have a calm and rational discussion. After all, these are just matters between children; there's nothing that can't be resolved. What do you two sect leaders think?"
Niu Tian nodded slightly, "Since Elder Mu has said so, then I will give you this face out of consideration for the long-standing friendship between Shrek Academy and Haotian Sect."
Seeing that Niu Tian seemed to be backing down, Titan anxiously said, "Brother, what you're doing..."
Before Titan could finish speaking, Niu Tian glared at him fiercely, signaling him not to say anything more.
Seeing this, Titan also shut his mouth with an embarrassed expression.
Seeing this, Mu En chuckled and extended his hand in a gesture of invitation, "Sect Masters, please."
Before leaving, Titan couldn't help but angrily rebuke:
"Don't even think about playing any tricks on us. If we don't see that kid named Huo Yuhao in a few days, the two of us will just tear your Shrek Academy down."
Even Mu En's gentle gaze revealed a rare hint of coldness as he said in a deep voice:
"Rest assured, I would not stoop to playing tricks in this matter. I just hope that the two Haotian Sect Masters will not try to bully the weak."
Titan snorted coldly, unwilling to say anything more.
……
A few days later, inside the pavilion of the Sea God Pavilion.
"Damn it! Brother, why didn't Tang San plant this golden ancient tree in our Clear Sky Sect back then? Leaving it here is such a waste!"
After staying in the Sea God's Pavilion for a few days, feeling the abundant life energy, Titan felt much more comfortable all over. His back pain was gone, his legs were no longer sore, and even his mood improved a lot.
As soul beasts, few of them dislike things with such rich life energy.
Niu Tianzheng was standing on the balcony gazing into the distance. Upon hearing this, he merely glanced at Titan behind him without offering any further explanation.
He just thought to himself, if Tang San had actually planted that golden ancient tree in the Clear Sky Sect back then, his father Tang Hao would probably have smashed his head in.
As Niu Tian felt the immense life energy emanating from the golden ancient tree, he sighed inwardly. To grow to such a state, he wondered how many souls of human powerhouses he had absorbed to achieve this.
Niu Tian, who was lost in inexplicable sadness, suddenly trembled as if he had seen something incredible.
Titan also noticed Niu Tian's unusual behavior and, somewhat puzzled, followed his gaze to look out onto the balcony.
When he saw the silver figure beside the gentle young man, his whole body trembled violently.
After exchanging a glance, Niu Tian said somewhat hoarsely, "Second brother, I'm not mistaken, am I?"
At this moment, Niu Tian finally understood how Mu En's injuries had been healed.
He felt as if he had entered a trap, and one wrong move could lead to utter ruin.
