Elder Xuan left.
After giving instructions to Zhang Lexuan and Wang Yan, and inquiring about Bi Ji, he departed. As for why An Zhen wasn't there, Zhang Lexuan said An Zhen was "cultivating."
Mirror Hongchen and another Soul Guide team leader from Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy also left with Elder Xuan after giving their instructions.
They said they were going to investigate the Fiend Forest.
Considering his grandfather's safety, An Zhen had Electrolux accompany them, ready to use his necromantic power if necessary. Who would have thought that the person who wielded necromantic power was the same one who used the power of holy light to heal Mu En?
After "resolving" Ling Luochen and Ma Xiaotao, An Zhen went to Gu Yuena's bedroom.
One lie requires a thousand more lies to cover it up.
"Who is that Divinity Envoy?" the silver-haired dragon girl asked, silver spiritual light radiating from the dragon scales on her fair collarbone, and a strange fluctuation enveloped the entire room.
"An ally," An Zhen said, the young man gently stroking the swaying green hair in front of him. As expected of a fierce Spirit Beast with nearly 600,000 years of cultivation, she learned quickly.
Bi Ji: "Mmm, mmm, mmm."
Her emerald eyes gazed up at An Zhen. 'Lord is so gentle.'
Gu Yuena frowned slightly.
This identity was not one An Zhen had faked.
An Zhen had been hiding things from her before!
"Traitor!"
Damn it!
Gu Yuena was a little angry.
A delicate, art-like white-stockinged foot lifted, and its rounded toes gently poked An Zhen's cheek. "Traitor, beg for forgiveness, and then honestly confess everything."
She wanted to humiliate An Zhen!
"How about I confess first?" An Zhen held the girl's white-stockinged foot.
If Shrek Academy's plan to deal with the Holy Spirit Church didn't work, then for safety's sake, Di Tian would also have to act, and at that time, the origin of Electrolux would definitely need to be explained.
"Speak!"
The stunning girl, holding the arrogance of a silver dragon in her embrace, looked at An Zhen, who immediately submitted and prepared to "honestly" confess, with a pleased expression.
"It was a coincidence. Many years ago, while Yu Tong and I were in slumber, a spatial rift suddenly appeared, and a super-strong being from another World came to this World through that rift…"
"He was once an extremely powerful existence, but he suffered betrayal from the humans of that World, causing his current strength to be far less than before. However, the power he can exert now is no weaker than Di Tian."
A mix of truth and falsehood.
"Electrolux," Gu Yuena softly murmured the four words, her purple starlight eyes earnestly looking at An Zhen, "A super-strong being who was betrayed by humans and once possessed Divinity battle power, are you sure he won't betray us?"
"Yes, we each hold leverage over the other," An Zhen said.
Indeed, Electrolux needed An Zhen's Virtual World to recuperate, and Electrolux was involved in almost all of An Zhen's plans that couldn't be known by others. But their relationship wasn't one of mutual apprehension, but rather that of master and disciple.
"I need to meet him," Gu Yuena said, lifting her other white-stockinged foot, her flexible toes gently pressing against An Zhen's cheek through the white silk.
She was the highest leader of the dragon race currently. Although An Zhen was her Queen, given their weak position and the need for extreme caution with every step, she had to personally confirm the reliability of this ally.
"Of course, but he is currently traveling the continent. We will meet him in some time."
The conversation was over; now it was time to atone.
Although it was a special period, the Queen's transgression still deserved punishment.
An Zhen confessed.
By the way, Naer's little feet are so sensitive.
"Bi Ji."
An Zhen gently patted the head of the beautiful woman in front of him. "Get up."
It had been so many days; now was a suitable time.
"Lord."
Her emerald hair cascaded down, like rich Life force. Bi Ji's features were exquisite, possessing a compassionate and gentle beauty that pitied all living beings. Her phoenix eyes beneath long lashes were as soft as water, truly befitting the kindest Spirit Beast. Below her snow-white neck was a voluptuous and tall figure, soft to embrace. A cyan ribbon tied into a butterfly knot adorned Bi Ji's slender waist, like a gift waiting for An Zhen to unwrap.
Zhang Lexuan was a mature older sister; Bi Ji was a younger aunt, even more mature.
Bi Ji knelt before An Zhen, her voice trembling slightly, "Please have mercy on Bi Ji."
…
Girls have their youthful innocence.
Older sisters have their voluptuousness.
An Zhen was never one to be picky or compare this to that.
He wanted them all!
"Whew~"
"Lord, Bi Ji is so satisfied."
Her soft, voluptuous body pressed tightly against An Zhen, and the gentle face of the older sister now carried a mature and charming allure.
An Zhen reached out and gently stroked Bi Ji's hair.
Speaking of which, the Emerald Swan clan has phoenix bloodline. Bi Ji can be said to be the purest-blooded phoenix still alive. Fire phoenixes are passionate and often proactively provoke. Emerald Swans are gentle as water, obedient, and only blushingly allow An Zhen and Gu Yuena to "bully" them.
"You've worked hard," An Zhen comforted.
Not only was she bullied by him, but she also served as Gu Yuena's maid.
The terrifying Emerald Swan, with nearly 600,000 years of cultivation in the eyes of outsiders, now showed no trace of the power she displayed to other Spirit Beasts and humans. Instead, she was like an ordinary little maid, obediently rubbing her head against An Zhen's palm, her phoenix eyes narrowed into a happy arc.
Lord was not as rough as she had imagined.
Beside them, the silver-haired dragon girl clutched the quilt tightly, tears in her eyes, and fell asleep in the covers, a joyful curve on her lips.
"Take good care of Naer."
After feeling the Emerald Swan's embrace, An Zhen left Gu Yuena's bedroom.
Days passed one by one.
Aside from Zheng Tian Academy, the other teams in Shrek Academy's group in the round-robin tournament mostly had only one Spirit King. Having witnessed Shrek's previous performance, they almost immediately surrendered upon realizing they were drawn against Shrek, wanting to conserve their strength for other round-robin matches. Only one team, because it was the last match and surrendering would mean elimination, bravely went through with it, only to be thoroughly beaten by Dai Yueheng, who was drawn for the match.
The competition directly entered the top sixteen.
"Each subsequent match will be held over two days: team battle on the first day, individual battle on the second. The academy that wins the first match also needs to defeat three of the opponent's members with their seven members in the individual battle on the second day. Conversely, they must use three members to defeat seven of the opponent's members."
"However, this rule doesn't constrain us much," Wang Yan said with a chuckle, introducing the competition situation. They might have a slight chance of an upset in the team battle, but in the individual battle, as long as Ma Xiaotao, Ling Luochen, and An Zhen were there, it was absolutely impossible.
"We'll just sweep them," Ma Xiaotao said, crossing her arms like a proud fire phoenix.
Ling Luochen nodded slightly.
On this point, the two were rarely in agreement.
"Knock, knock, knock~"
A knock on the door sounded.
Wang Yan went to open the door.
A beautiful young woman in a purple dress stood outside, her long purple hair tied in a single ponytail, exuding a lively, youthful aura, yet her every gesture showed graceful nobility.
"Hello, I am Xu Jiujiu of the Starlight Auction House," the girl softly introduced herself, her purple starlight eyes inadvertently looking into the living room, as if searching for something.
"Hello, Miss Xu, is there anything I can help you with?" Wang Yan asked.
"It's like this," Xu Jiujiu took out a stack of gilded, exquisite invitation cards. "Tonight, the Starlight Auction House will hold a top-tier auction. Shrek Academy is a distinguished guest of the Star Luo Empire. I've come today to invite you all to attend. I believe you will find it rewarding."
"Thank you for your trouble," An Zhen stepped forward and took the invitation cards.
"Then I won't disturb you further. Farewell." The beautiful girl's lips curved into a charming smile, her starlight eyes fixed on the black-haired young man in front of her.
Xu Jiujiu turned and left.
"One for each of you." An Zhen handed two invitation cards to Gu Yuena, exactly thirteen invitations. "Let Aunt Bi come along."
Although Electrolux was out, with Zhang Lexuan and Bi Ji present, their safety was guaranteed.
Wang Yan's eyes narrowed slightly. "I didn't expect the Starlight Auction House to be able to bypass the Star Luo Empire's official hotel blockade and deliver the invitations."
"Teacher Wang, her surname is Xu," An Zhen reminded him.
"Royalty?" Wang Yan was surprised.
"Probably. The Xu family in Star Luo City is probably the only one." An Zhen held up a gilded invitation card and looked at everyone in the living room. "Everyone, do you want to go and see?"
It's finally here.
Xue Di Embryo.
After all this, you will be mine!
"Are you sure you're not going to see the beautiful girl?" Wang Dong was suspicious of An Zhen's sudden surge of enthusiasm; he had gone to greet her as soon as he saw her.
"To see if there are any good things."
To buy a big ice-snow sister back.
Ning Tian looked at the invitation card in her hand and said, "This is indeed a top-tier auction house; it only happens once or twice a year. I've heard my father mention that Xu Jiujiu; she's the Star Luo Emperor's younger sister. I heard her talent is very good, and she might even be our next opponent."
"A princess?" An Zhen "wondered."
"You're not allowed to have ideas about her," Wang Donger warned fiercely. No one could stand their boyfriend constantly finding new sisters outside!
"Mmm, I won't be proactive," An Zhen's head on his neck nodded gently.
"Let's go take a look," Zhang Lexuan said.
Huo Yutong and the other girls also showed great interest. Since the competition began, except for the matches, they had almost always stayed in the hotel. Although the initial tension had subsided, how could they not want to go out and see the World in such a prosperous city?
"Then let's all go," Wang Yan said.
Tomorrow's opponent was the Dou Ling Royal Team. Based on Wang Yan's research on them, he concluded two words: 'easy victory.' Since Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen achieved ultimate attributes, this competition could officially be declared a training experience for the children. Since that was the case, it was better to take everyone out to broaden their horizons, which was also part of the training.
After resting and having dinner, everyone changed into casual clothes and headed to the Starlight Auction House.
