Several hours later.
The women, who had been chatting happily, suddenly changed their expressions.
"Why do I feel hotter and hotter?"
"Is it the ingredients taking effect?"
As Ning Rongrong spoke, she and the other women who felt the change looked at Shen Fan.
"Yes."
"We're almost done eating."
"You all go to the small room to refine this energy."
"I'll guard you outside."
Shen Fan nodded.
"Okay."
"Everyone, follow me."
Feeling hotter and hotter, Ning Rongrong wasted no words and led the women to the small room nearby.
"Why don't I feel much, just a slight warmth in my lower abdomen?"
Liu Erlong waited until Ning Rongrong and the others left before asking in confusion.
"Me too."
Dugu Yan also chimed in from the side.
"Both of you have undergone body tempering in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, so naturally, you won't feel too much."
"Of course, even if you don't feel too much, it will still have some strengthening effect on your body."
"It's just that you don't need to be like Rongrong and the others, who, because the energy is too vast and their body strength isn't strong enough, absorb it too slowly on their own, so they need to calm down and actively refine it."
Shen Fan explained.
"So that's how it is."
The two women suddenly understood.
"I'll go to the small room to take a look."
Dugu Yan said, getting up.
"As you wish."
Shen Fan did not object.
"Oh, right."
"Now that we have time."
"Shen Fan, I want to talk to you about the Shrek Team."
After Dugu Yan left, Liu Erlong suddenly said.
"The Shrek Team?"
Shen Fan didn't say much, waiting for Liu Erlong to continue.
"I plan to split the current Shrek Team into two."
"One team will still have Dai Mubai as captain and Tang San as vice-captain."
"The other team will have you as captain, and Dugu Yan as vice-captain."
"What do you think?"
After speaking, Liu Erlong confidently waited for Shen Fan to nod in agreement.
"It's possible, but where would I find my other teammates?"
"With me, Yan Yan, and Ye Lingling, we still need at least four more people."
As Shen Fan asked, he was already starting to consider potential teammates in his mind.
"Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, and Jiang Zhu will join your team, which will make your team full."
Liu Erlong revealed the plan she had already discussed with Ning Rongrong and the others in the live stream.
"What?"
"They'd agree?"
Shen Fan was stunned.
"Why wouldn't they agree?"
"This is the academy's arrangement."
"It's just finding teammates, not finding a husband."
Liu Erlong rolled her eyes.
"Uh."
"If Xiao Wu and the others have no problem, then I naturally have no problem."
If Xiao Wu could really join his Shrek Team, it would definitely be a major blow to Tang San, and this was something Shen Fan most liked to see, so he naturally wouldn't refuse.
"Then it's settled."
Liu Erlong clapped her hands.
Subsequently, with no new topics, the atmosphere between the two gradually became a bit strange.
"Ice dragon king."
After a long while, Shen Fan called out softly.
"..."
"Call me Dean Ice dragon king."
Hearing Shen Fan call her that, Liu Erlong was slightly dazed for a moment, then immediately said sternly once she reacted.
"Does Dean Ice dragon king think that calling you that would feel better?"
Shen Fan smiled with a hint of mischief, getting up and sitting next to Liu Erlong.
"Don't get so close."
Liu Erlong tried to move away, but before she could act, a hand appeared on her upper curve.
"En."
Liu Erlong hummed, her breathing becoming unsteady.
Beside her, Shen Fan, seeing that Liu Erlong had stopped moving, began to do some delightful things with Liu Erlong.
Soon, two hours passed with Shen Fan tirelessly working.
"Bang."
At this moment, a loud noise came from the small room.
"What happened?"
Hearing the commotion in the room, Liu Erlong quickly pushed away Shen Fan, who was happily drinking the 'juice' she had brewed, tidied herself up, and ran to the door to ask.
"Nothing."
"I was just testing my current body strength."
As Ning Rongrong's voice came out, the door to the small room was opened from the inside.
"How's the effect?"
Liu Erlong avoided the playful glances of the women and changed the subject.
"Very good."
"If before, I would have been knocked down by a single blow from an attack system Spirit Master of the same level, now a single blow would at most only cause me minor injuries."
When discussing serious matters, Ning Rongrong withdrew her playful gaze and spoke excitedly about her current state.
If she hadn't seen Shen Fan drinking the 'juice' Liu Erlong brewed in the live stream, Ning Rongrong would definitely have rushed over and given Shen Fan a big kiss.
"Then congratulations, Rongrong."
"Oh, right."
"Where are Ye Lingling and Jiang Zhu?"
"Have they also improved about as much as Rongrong?"
While genuinely happy for Ning Rongrong, Liu Erlong didn't forget to ask about Ye Lingling and Jiang Zhu's situation.
"My improvement is also similar to Rongrong's."
Jiang Zhu was overjoyed, and her eyes were full of gratitude as she looked at Shen Fan.
"Me too."
Ye Lingling didn't say much.
"Shen Fan."
"Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School owes you a favor."
Ning Rongrong came before Shen Fan and said solemnly.
"Our Nine Hearted Blood Rose family too."
Ye Lingling followed close behind.
"I, I..."
When it was Jiang Zhu's turn, she was a bit embarrassed.
There was nothing she could do; she was just an ordinary commoner, and even if she said she owed Shen Fan a favor, she couldn't repay it.
"We're all friends."
"Talking about owing or not owing, it's too formal."
Shen Fan interrupted Jiang Zhu, who was awkwardly unsure of what to do, helping her out of her predicament and also stopping Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing from saying their thanks.
"Fan is right."
"We're all friends, what's the point of thanking each other back and forth?"
Dugu Yan chimed in from the side.
"Okay."
"Then we won't say it."
Ning Rongrong and the others exchanged glances, all smiling and nodding.
"Alright."
"It's getting late."
"Let's go back to the academy."
Seeing that the relationship between the few of them had grown closer, Liu Erlong was also happy for them, but when she saw that the time was already approaching midnight, she immediately clapped her hands and said.
Upon seeing this, everyone agreed.
Shrek Academy Villa Area.
"Xiao Wu."
"Where did you go?"
"Why are you only coming back now?"
At the entrance of the villa where Dai Mubai and the other three originally lived, Tang San stopped Xiao Wu and her group, his face looking very ugly.
"I went out to eat with my sisters."
"What's wrong?"
"Do you have to manage that too?"
Xiao Wu said, feeling speechless.
"Eat?"
"Eating a meal, does it take this long?"
Tang San was extremely displeased; he had been waiting here for Xiao Wu for several hours.
