Su Yan looked at Spirit Kite with a calm expression. He said in a soft tone, "Aunt Lingyuan, I am actually very serious when it comes to feelings. Do you really understand what I mean?"
Spirit Kite's face lit up with pure joy when she heard his words. She looked at him with bright eyes and asked, "So you think Auntie still has the charm and strength to be with someone? To tell you the truth, I have drifted through wind and rain all my life. I always believed that a person can only rely on oneself. When I was young, I rejected countless suitors. But now, Auntie is truly tired. I want a real, serious relationship too. And you... you are the best and most perfect gift that heaven has ever given to me."
After finishing her words, Spirit Kite gently rested her head against Su Yan's shoulder.
Not far away, the other women were sitting together in small groups within the courtyard. They were talking, laughing, and enjoying their time together.
Spirit Kite looked at them and could not help but sigh gently. She said, "I never stopped to think about it in the past. But looking at the lives of Bibi Dong, Liu Erlong, and Bo Saixi now, I realize that absolute strength and high status are not really that important. While I was envying their power and working hard to cultivate, they were probably envying my free life."
Su Yan remained quiet for a moment before replying, "Yes, human desire for power is endless. Only when you let go of these burdens can you truly enjoy the beauty of life."
"That is so true," Spirit Kite agreed. Then she suddenly turned her head, met Su Yan's gaze, and said softly, "Auntie is a bit drunk now. Xiao Yan, can you take me back to my room to rest?"
Su Yan felt his heart tighten instantly. He thought to himself, "My dear Aunt Lingyuan, are you trying to test my self-control like this? I am just a normal man, I definitely cannot pass this kind of test!"
"Mm," Su Yan gave a low reply. He then quietly walked out of the courtyard together with Spirit Kite.
"Pfft!"
Bibi Dong had actually been paying close attention to Su Yan and Spirit Kite the entire time. After all, she was completely in love with Su Yan, so how could her eyes ever leave him? Seeing Su Yan and Spirit Kite walking toward the backyard together, she immediately guessed what was about to happen. She was so shocked that she instantly spat out the mouthful of fine wine she had just taken.
Liu Erlong saw this and could not help but laugh out loud right away. She pointed at Bibi Dong and teased, "Hahaha! Old woman, is your drinking capacity really this weak? How much did you even drink before you started throwing up? You actually had the nerve to call me a lightweight drinker earlier?"
Bibi Dong nodded her head heavily in her heart. She looked at Liu Erlong and thought, "Yes, laugh all you want, Liu Erlong. How can you still laugh so foolishly? It completely makes sense that your brain could be fooled by a waste like Yu Xiaogang for so many years."
Bibi Dong might act entirely on her feelings when it came to love, but Liu Erlong possessed the fierce Fire Dragon Martial Soul. If Liu Erlong had used even a tiny bit of her brain, how could she have lived without having the slightest suspicion about the past?
Qian Renxue sat to the side. She hesitated for a moment, looked at Bibi Dong, and said, "If you can't drink that much, then don't force yourself!"
Bibi Dong was already feeling complex inside, but hearing Qian Renxue's words made her heart suddenly warm up. Tears filled her eyes in an instant. Her daughter was actually starting to care about her! Xiao Xue was really showing concern for her!
Bibi Dong replied with a slightly trembling voice, "No, it is nothing at all. The wine is very delicious! Really delicious!"
Meanwhile, the Big Silly Cat was having a wonderful time. It was running around happily, grabbing a bite of food here and a taste of meat there. Before long, its belly became completely round and bulging. It happily ran over and lay down flat in Ah Yin's gentle arms.
"Ow!" the Big Silly Cat grunted happily. "I can't eat anymore, I really can't eat anymore. Ah Yin, can we have a fun gathering like this every single day?"
Ah Yin smiled softly, stroked its fur, and replied, "We cannot host a massive gathering like this every single day, but I promise you can eat this much delicious food every day."
The Big Silly Cat rolled over comfortably and said, "I am so happy right now."
Hearing those words, a look of pure bliss appeared on Ah Yin's gentle face as she said softly, "Yes, I am also feeling very happy."
After saying that, she looked over toward Su Yan's direction, only to discover that he had completely disappeared to who knows where. Ah Yin was confused and wondered who had suddenly taken her source of happiness away.
As the old saying goes, young girls are shy and subtle, while older women are passionate and bold.
On the other side of the residence, Spirit Kite led Su Yan all the way to her personal room. As soon as they stepped inside, Spirit Kite reached back and double-locked the door behind them. Su Yan felt his throat grow dry and could not help but swallow his saliva hard.
Spirit Kite leaned gently into Su Yan's warm embrace. She leaned close and whispered into his ear, "Xiao Yan, Auntie's legs are a bit numb from sitting for so long just now. Can you help me rub them?"
"Mm!" Su Yan nodded his head heavily. He lifted Spirit Kite up in his arms and placed her down gently on the high table. He saw that her legs were very long and slender, wrapped neatly in sleek black lace stockings. Aunt Lingyuan truly lived up to her reputation as the famous long-legged Titled Douluo of Spirit Hall!
Rip~
A sharp tearing sound echoed in the quiet room.
"Auntie, I am so sorry! I accidentally ripped your stockings," Su Yan quickly apologized, feeling flustered.
Spirit Kite pretended to be slightly angry and said, "Xiao Yan, how can you be so careless? Since you broke Auntie's stockings, you had better be prepared to pay a very huge compensation."
Hearing her words, Su Yan put on a serious face and promised, "Alright, Auntie. I will definitely compensate you properly. I will take good care of you from now on, and I will help you carry all the heavy burdens you once bore alone."
He immediately activated his second spirit, the Kunpeng Martial Soul, and used his powerful Spirit Fusion SkillâLifting the Cauldron and Wrestling the Ox!
"Hiss!"
Spirit Kite Douluo was startled by his sudden action. She gasped softly and said, "Xiao Yan, why are you still calling me Auntie at a time like this? Is what you are holding on your shoulders just a burden to you? Please be a little gentler, this is Auntie's very first time."
Just as people say, hesitation leads to defeat, while acting decisively leads to giving oneself away completely.
Meanwhile, back in the courtyard, Liu Erlong was still drinking happily, totally unaware. She might have thought to herself, "I don't think I ever hesitated at all!"
Meanwhile, in another world at Shrek Academy.
Xiao Xiao had successfully gathered Ma Xiaotao, Zhang Lexuan, and Ling Luochen together. Their gathering spot was chosen right by the beautiful Sea God Lake inside the academy grounds.
Under normal rules, Shrek Academy strictly forbade anyone from drinking alcohol and playing around privately inside the campus. However, since two key leadersâDean Wang and Vice Dean Xiaoâwere present, no one could stop them!
Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen had not even finished a few bites of their meal before they started arguing with each other. Their small verbal argument quickly turned into a heated confrontation.
Ling Luochen glared at her rival and challenged, "Ma Xiaotao, do you actually dare to suppress your spirit power down to the level of a Spirit King and fight against me fairly?"
Ma Xiaotao was not afraid of her challenge at all. She snorted and said, "Bring it on! Just don't cry and say I bullied you after you lose the match."
"Fine!" Ling Luochen shouted. "Today, let us see whether your evil fire is more powerful, or if my ice element is superior!"
Xiao Xiao and the other students nearby grew anxious as they watched the scene unfold. However, Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen completely ignored their worries. They immediately unleashed their powerful Martial Spirits and began to clash right on the spot.
A fierce battle between extreme ice and hot fire broke out across the field.
Zhang Lexuan rushed forward and tried to stop them, shouting, "Stop! Quickly stop this! Do not fight anymore!"
Suddenly, fine drops of liquid began to fall from above. It almost looked like it had started raining over the lake. But it was not real rainâit was actually the result of Ma Xiaotao's intense fire spirit power constantly clashing against Ling Luochen's dense ice spirit power. The intense heat melted the ice instantly, creating heavy water droplets that rained down from the sky.
Wang Dong turned to Xiao Xiao with an anxious expression and urged, "Xiao Xiao, do something to stop them quickly!"
Hearing this, Xiao Xiao looked helpless and said with great difficulty, "How am I supposed to stop two powerful senior sisters like them?"
"Use your Self-Created Spirit Ability!" Wang Dong reminded her loudly.
With Wang Dong's quick reminder, Xiao Xiao's eyes lit up as she suddenly realized what to do. "Oh, that's right!"
Xiao Xiao immediately summoned her Martial Soul and fully unleashed her unique Spirit AbilityâDancing to the Flute.
As soon as the sound of the flute rang out, Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen, who were in the middle of their fierce battle nearby, felt an irresistible control wash over their minds. The strange rhythm took over their bodies completely.
Even though they wanted to continue releasing powerful Spirit Abilities, their arms and legs refused to obey. They could not help but start dancing foolishly to the beat of the flute music right in front of everyone.
Water droplets continued to splash down heavily from above, showing just how intense their clash had been just a moment ago.
Zhang Lexuan stood by the side, looking at the ridiculous scene in absolute disbelief. She could only wave her hands and call out weakly, "Stop, you guys stop right now! Please don't fight anymore!"
At that moment, a truly iconic and legendary scene was captured forever on video.
