A soft laugh rang out.
"Little brat, let's talk about that when you're older." Yu Tianming looked at the cute little girl in front of him and couldn't help but laugh.
He felt that this little girl was just as mischievous and naughty as Ning Rongrong when she was a child, which made him both annoyed and amused.
Hearing this, Ning Xueshu pouted, feeling a little disappointed.
She knows she's still very young, but she's full of anticipation for the future. After all, it'll be a long time before she grows up.
The legal marriage age stipulated by the Martial Soul Empire is sixteen, which means she still has to wait a full ten years! Ten years is far too long for a child, as if the flowers have already withered.
"Oh..." Ning Xueshu responded softly, her voice revealing a hint of helplessness.
She thought to herself: When will I truly grow up? Perhaps then I can realize my dreams.
At this moment, the blonde little girl slowly stepped forward and began to introduce herself listlessly: "My name is Yu Jiaojiao, I am six years old this year, my martial soul is the Holy Dragon of Light, and I am also at the level 20 of innate soul power. I am currently a level 26 Great Soul Master."
After she finished speaking, she yawned, seemingly very sleepy.
However, at that very moment, Yu Tianming's expression suddenly changed. His gentle smile vanished, replaced by an extremely serious look. He stared intently at Yu Jiaojiao, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.
The other children around them also sensed the tense atmosphere and were too frightened to speak. The entire scene suddenly became completely silent, with only the powerful aura emanating from Yu Tianming enveloping everyone.
After a while, Yu Jiaojiao cautiously raised her head, glanced at Yu Tianming, and then asked weakly, "Uh... can I go back to sleep first?" Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz, clearly she was also frightened by Yu Tianming.
In her previous life, Yu Jiaojiao studied relentlessly in school, constantly competing and enduring a long and arduous decade. However, fate gave her a second chance. In this life, she resolved not to bury herself in her studies anymore, but to choose to be a free and easy life.
Even the legendary ancestor descending to earth to persuade her couldn't change her unwavering belief. After all, for Yu Jiaojiao, who had already experienced that kind of stressful life, freedom and ease were the most precious things.
Even her humble homeroom teacher couldn't stop her from pursuing a leisurely lifestyle.
"Snap!" A crisp sound rang out.
"Young lady, you are a princess of the empire, bearing the future and hope of the nation on your shoulders. How can you be so shameless as to sleep here? Don't you have any sense of shame?"
Yu Tianming glared angrily at the lazy student in front of him—Yu Jiaojiao.
It's strange, but the human mind is so peculiar. Yu Tianming himself used to be a complete lazybones, spending his days chasing girls and having fun, living a life where everything was done for him.
But now, seeing Yu Jiaojiao who looks exactly like him from back then, he is filled with rage.
How can one inherit one's divine position without diligent cultivation? How can one have the opportunity to escape all these constraints without diligent practice?
Thinking of this, Yu Tianming snorted coldly: "Hmph, still dreaming of being a lazy dog? That's just wishful thinking!"
Faced with the teacher's reprimand, Yu Jiaojiao did not back down and retorted defiantly, "Teacher, we don't encourage excessive competition these days. Besides, the royal family is full of talented people; one more or one less won't make a difference..."
As she spoke, she kept muttering to herself, seemingly convinced of the claim.
In this class, everyone has the potential to inherit the throne; they are all the bearers of the empire's brilliant future.
"Training will begin tomorrow. Yu Jiaojiao, you will be the captain. Stop arguing. My decision is non-negotiable!" With that, Yu Tianming led Xiao Wu away angrily.
Watching that receding figure, someone couldn't help but say, "Sister Jiaojiao, you've really angered the teacher." The speaker was Ning Xueshu, the little follower who usually followed Yu Jiaojiao around.
However, at this moment, the little follower instantly betrayed his teacher and transformed into a loyal supporter, wishing he could be by the teacher's side every moment.
"That's right, let's leave this place quickly, and not share a room with such lazy people any longer." Zhu Xiaoxiao had never liked Yu Jiaojiao, simply because the woman exuded a salty, fishy aura.
Facing the accusations and ridicule of the crowd, Yu Jiaojiao not only didn't care, but instead revealed a playful look, shouting loudly, "Get out of here! Go and cultivate diligently, strive to surpass me as soon as possible, go for it, Ganbatte!"
Her contemptuous attitude and words infuriated Zhu Xiaoxiao to the point of rage.
"Hmph!" Zhu Xiaoxiao snorted angrily, flung her sleeves and left, secretly vowing to work harder and surpass this annoying guy as soon as possible.
Seeing this, the other students shook their heads and sighed, then dispersed. The once lively scene became deserted, with only Yu Jiaojiao standing there leisurely, as if everything that had just happened had nothing to do with her.
Surpassing Sister Yu Jiao... Hmm... Zhu Xiaoxiao had fantasized about it in her dreams, but in reality, she'd better not. There's a nine-level difference in innate soul power. Even if she cultivated 24 hours a day, she probably wouldn't have any hope of surpassing Yu Jiao in this lifetime.

After leaving the teaching building, Yu Tianming and Xiao Wu held hands tightly and strolled leisurely through the academy. Sunlight shone on them, as if draping the lovers in a golden glow.
"Hehe, this is so much fun!" Xiao Wu said with a charming laugh, her mind filled with the innocent and adorable images of those little guys.
The children's innocent behavior reminded Xiao Wu of her own childhood experiences—when she had just transformed into human form, she entered human society with a heart full of hatred, only to find Yu Tianming and avenge her blood feud.
Then, by chance, she arrived at the Notting City Junior Soul Master Academy and, relying on her own strength, became its leader. Time flies, and countless years have passed in the blink of an eye.
"Haha, that's really interesting, but I still remember someone who was so scared that they peed their pants!" Yu Tianming's lips curled up slightly as he spoke, while he reached out and gently kneaded Xiao Wu's round and perky buttocks, his words full of teasing.
"Nonsense! I didn't wet my pants, you scoundrel!" Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu blushed with embarrassment and angrily kicked Yu Tianming with her little foot.
Recalling the scene when she first met Yu Tianming, she still remembered it vividly: at that time, she was not yet fully transformed into a human, and was despised and rejected by Yu Tianming because of the poor quality of her soul ring. This memory is still etched in her heart.
Just then, a deafening roar suddenly came from the sky! Ten thousand meters above the ground, a dazzling bolt of lightning ripped through the sky, and then, a colorful scale, like a shooting star, sped toward the Starry Sky Forest.
"That's Sister Na'er!" Xiao Wu recognized the familiar scale at a glance.
"Sigh, this girl is always such a worry." Yu Tianming sighed helplessly.
"Xiao Wu, go and keep an eye on her! Remember, the Martial Soul Continent will never allow any god-level expert to get involved!"
Yu Tianming's eyes flickered, as if he had already seen through Gu Yuena's thoughts.
He was unwilling to concern himself with the actions of Di Tian and his group. Even if the Soul Beast Clan were to one day successfully replace the Martial Soul Empire, he would never easily intervene.
However, all of this is based on one important premise—that Gu Yuena must not get involved or offer assistance.
Since going to the realm of gods, this woman has never been well-behaved and has always descended to the mortal world to stir up trouble.
Normally, Di Tian would need to endure at least 100,000 years to achieve godhood, but now, due to Gu Yuena's power, he has been pushed to the limit of 990,000 years.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu couldn't help but wriggle her body and pout coquettishly, "Oh, no~"
It should be noted that Xiao Wu, A Rou, and A Yin are essentially still classified as soul beasts.
They usually have a close relationship with Gu Yuena, and they are also full of expectations for Gu Yuena's goal and hope to help her achieve it.
Faced with Xiao Wu's coaxing, Yu Tianming's face darkened, and he said sternly, "Xiao Wu, I can choose to turn a blind eye to the intentions of the Soul Beast race. But gods must never meddle in mortal affairs without authorization; you must understand this clearly! This is an inviolable bottom line!"
He knew this matter was of utmost importance, and that the slightest misstep could lead to unpredictable consequences. Therefore, he was determined to uphold this principle and bottom line, and would not allow anyone to violate it.
Once the first person dares to cross the line, a second, a third, and so on will inevitably follow... In this way, the order of the divine realm will undergo tremendous changes!
After all, the realm of gods is too boring. If Gu Yuena, the God-King, were to start a conflict, what would her first-level, second-level, and even third-level gods think?
They'll probably all follow suit and descend to the mortal realm to cause trouble. Then, wouldn't the people of the Martial Soul Continent be thrown into chaos and unable to live normal lives?
"Alright, I understand."
"You absolutely mustn't punish Sister Na'er, she's really worked so hard." As she was about to leave, Xiao Wu gently kissed Yu Tianming's cheek and whispered.
After the tragic fall of the first Dragon God, Gu Yuena resolutely shouldered the responsibility of revitalizing the Soul Beast race. To secure greater well-being and rights for the Soul Beast race, Gu Yuena was even willing to sacrifice herself.
"Punish her?" Upon hearing this, Yu Tianming couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile.
"You overestimate me. Gu Yuena's strength is terrifying; she is the most powerful in my harem. Especially her peak God-King level Dragon God body—even when I go all out, I can only barely fight her to a draw. To be honest, it's a miracle she didn't completely drain me."
Thinking of this, Yu Tianming felt a sense of helplessness.
........................
Deep within the Starry Sky Forest, in its core region, lies a mysterious and tranquil lake known as the Lake of Life. Its crystal-clear waters reflect the stars in the sky, as if connected to the universe itself.
At this moment, by the lake, a gigantic dragon, its body as black as ink, knelt on one knee; this was Di Tian. Di Tian respectfully addressed the being before him, saying, "My lord."
The being referred to as "Master" by Di Tian was a giant silver dragon tens of meters long, which was actually just a scaled clone of Gu Yuena. Her true form remained with the Divine Realm Committee.
Gu Yuena said softly, "No need for formalities, please rise." Her voice was clear and melodious, yet it contained an irresistible air of authority.
Di Tian stood up, head bowed, awaiting his master's instructions. However, when he heard what Gu Yuena said next, his expression changed drastically.
Gu Yuena slowly spoke, "Di Tian, the situation has changed, and our original plan may very well end in failure." Her tone revealed a deep sense of helplessness.
Di Tian's heart tightened, and he quickly asked, "Why do you say that? Could it be that His Majesty the God Emperor intends to intervene in this matter?" As he spoke, he even straightened up his body somewhat excitedly.
Gu Yuena gently swayed her dragon tail, signaling Di Tian to calm down, and then continued, "His Majesty the God Emperor will not directly intervene in this matter, so you don't need to worry about that. However..." She paused, then continued, "A child with extraordinary talent has emerged in the Martial Soul Empire, and it is said that His Majesty the God Emperor has personally descended to the mortal realm to train this successor."
"What?! There's actually a successor to the God Emperor!" Di Tian's eyes widened, his face filled with astonishment. He knew the power of the God Emperor well; if a successor to the God Emperor really participated, then this battle would become extremely difficult.
Gu Yuena shook her head and sighed, "Even if Yu Tianming wanted to intervene, I'm confident I could respond in time. But the key is that child's talent is simply too astonishing, and with the God Emperor's personal guidance, he'll likely rise rapidly in no time. At that point, even you lot will probably find it difficult to contend with him."
After hearing Gu Yuena's words, Di Tian remained silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and said with a firm look in his eyes, "My lord, please allow me to try! Even if I face the inheritor of the God Emperor's legacy, I will not be afraid!"
After years of meticulous preparation, the Ten Thousand Year Emperor was unwilling to give up easily. Unless the supreme and all-powerful God Emperor personally intervened, he was determined to fight with all his might. After all, even if he failed, he would simply go to the God Realm to enjoy his old age.
"Very good. Take this item. It will allow you to withstand all attacks below the God-King level for ten minutes." Gu Yuena lightly raised her jade hand, took out a scale shimmering with mysterious light, and handed it to Di Tian. Since Yu Tianming had already descended to the mortal realm to grant his descendants a cheat-like advantage, why couldn't she do the same?
"Thank you, my lord!" Di Tian accepted the scale with great joy, his eyes filled with excitement. With this miraculous scale, their chances of success would undoubtedly increase significantly.
