Inside the Ao Residence, Qian Renxue, Gu Yue Na, and several other girls stood atop a tall pavilion, gazing toward the direction of the Prince's Mansion.
Ning Rongrong spoke with lingering excitement, "That soul beast just now was terrifying. If I'm not mistaken, its opponent was Poison Douluo Dugu Bo. I can't believe even a Titled Douluo was defeated. That soul beast must be at least a hundred-thousand years old."
Zhu Zhuqing's expression was solemn. "That soul beast is too dangerous. If it runs over here, we won't be able to stop it. I think we should hide quickly."
Xiao Wu giggled, "Relax, that soul beast won't come here."
Qian Renxue said, "That was the direction of the Prince's Mansion. And since Dugu Bo has been sticking to Xue Xing to repay his debt, the soul beast must've killed people in the Prince's Mansion."
Ning Rongrong's eyes brightened. "That's great! Best case, it kills that annoying Prince Xue Xing. Then he won't keep issuing wanted orders against you all."
After saying that, she suddenly realized her words were a bit inappropriate. If this spread, her father might smack her across the continent.
She glanced at Qian Renxue and the girls beside her, and seeing their faces remain unchanged, she let out a quiet sigh of relief.
Qian Renxue suddenly remembered that Ao Tian said he'd help her deal with Xue Xing. And Ao Tian left in the middle of dinner. So she lightly nudged Ao Tian beside her and secretly asked, "Was that you?"
Qian Renxue didn't know about Long Ma, so she was guessing.
But Gu Yue Na and Xiao Wu both knew very well that Ao Tian definitely took Long Ma to the Prince's Mansion just now.
Ao Tian nodded slightly and replied through sound transmission, "Correct. That soul beast is Long Ma—usually the one I use to pull my carriage."
Qian Renxue was speechless. Using something that ferocious to pull a carriage… how many people must've fainted on the spot?
Ao Tian sensed her thoughts and added, "Its usual form is just a white horse. A very beautiful white horse."
Qian Renxue said softly, "Thank you, for resolving this problem for me."
Ao Tian smiled. "Do we really need thanks between us? If you really want to thank me, then let me do whatever I want tonight."
Qian Renxue's face instantly turned scarlet, but she still gave a quiet response, "Okay… I'll listen to you."
…
Back at Shrek Academy, the moment they returned, Liu Erlong summoned several healing-type soul masters to treat the injured group.
After a round of treatment, the injuries of Grandmaster and the others improved a lot. However, each of them suffered bone fractures and still couldn't move freely. They'd need a few more days of continuous treatment.
The only one in better condition was Dai Mubai.
Grandmaster said, "Mubai, take Oscar and Ma Hongjun back. And explain everything that happened tonight to Xiao San."
After arranging a room for Dugu Bo and sending Flender and Zhao Wuji back, Liu Erlong hurried to Grandmaster's bedside. The moment she saw him, she reached straight for the waistband of his pants.
"Erlong, what are you doing?!" Grandmaster panicked and clutched his pants with both hands.
"I want to check your… future-children-producing parts. If that beast damaged them, what am I supposed to do?" Liu Erlong huffed.
Then her face burned red as she muttered, "I mean—if they're damaged, we won't be able to have children in the future…"
Grandmaster held onto his pants with his life on the line. "They're fine! Go rest. Don't worry about me."
Seeing Grandmaster's absolute refusal, Liu Erlong had no choice but to sigh and leave the room.
She had planned to use this opportunity to cook the rice completely with Grandmaster tonight. But even now, Grandmaster was this stubborn.
After she left, Grandmaster held his head in pain. "Erlong… I'm sorry…"
…
After dropping Ma Hongjun off, Dai Mubai carried Oscar back to Tang San's room.
Earlier, Tang San heard the commotion outside when Grandmaster and the others returned. They seemed injured, which sent him into panic.
Now seeing Dai Mubai bring Oscar in, Tang San quickly asked, "Dai Mubai, what happened? Why is Oscar injured? Is my teacher hurt?"
Dai Mubai laid Oscar on the bed and finally said, "When we arrived at the Prince's Mansion, a terrifying soul beast appeared above it. Even Dugu Bo wasn't its match and was severely injured. Aside from me and Teacher Erlong, everyone else was wounded."
Tang San's heart tightened. "Then how is my teacher now?"
"Don't worry. After treatment, Grandmaster is mostly fine. Just some fractures that won't heal quickly," Dai Mubai replied.
Tang San finally breathed out in relief. Then he immediately thought of Ao Tian.
"What about Ao Tian? Did you get the immortal herbs from him?"
Dai Mubai shook his head. "Ao Tian is dead."
Tang San froze. "What…? Ao Tian was killed by that soul beast?"
Dai Mubai nodded. "Yes. Ao Tian died. Not even a corpse remained. And not just him—the Prince and Xue Beng were also killed by that soul beast."
Tang San stood there in stunned silence.
For years, Ao Tian had beaten him countless times. This time, Ao Tian even beat him half to death and took the immortal herbs.
Tang San had sworn he would defeat Ao Tian one day. Even kill him if he had to.
But before he even had the chance to take revenge… Ao Tian was already dead.
A heavy pain twisted in Tang San's chest. He couldn't accept this outcome.
After a long moment, he finally asked, "The immortal herbs were probably in his soul tool. Did you search it?"
"We searched," Dai Mubai said. "But nothing. Maybe the soul tool was destroyed. Or maybe he didn't bring it."
"What a waste…" Tang San felt physical pain in his heart.
Those were immortal herbs recorded in the Xuantian Treasure Record! And one of them was of immense importance to him.
The herb Wangchuan Qiushui Lu—the key to further evolving his Purple Demon Eye.
And now… everything was gone.
The Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Well was mystical, yes—but who knew how long it would take for that kind of herb to grow again?
Tang San then asked, "Why did that soul beast appear in Heaven Dou City?"
Dai Mubai repeated Grandmaster's guess.
"Grandmaster said the Heaven Dou Royal Family will likely request the two Titled Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to deal with that soul beast," he added.
Tang San's mind stirred.
Back in Soto City, he already planned to cooperate with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, though Ning Rongrong hadn't been impressed by his hidden weapons at the time.
But now that Ao Tian was dead, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was about to arrive in Heaven Dou City—this was a perfect opportunity.
The thoughts of master and disciple aligned perfectly without speaking.
…
Meanwhile, inside Ao Tian's room—
Ao Tian moved his old bed aside and set up the massive treasure-forged bed he had crafted himself.
Qian Renxue's face was completely red. "Isn't this… not too good?"
Gu Yue Na teased, "Snowy little sister, we're all women here. What's there to be shy about?"
Qian Renxue whispered, "Fine… I'll stay for a while. Then Tian-ge, send me back. I've been slacking these days. I just broke through to Soul Saint—I need to stabilize my realm."
Two hours later, Ao Tian escorted her back.
"Drink more water. You need to replenish." Ao Tian reminded her.
Qian Renxue blushed. "I know… But the next few days I might be busy. Xue Xing and Xue Beng are dead, so I'll have a lot to handle. Also, I think the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will send their Titled Douluo here. Do you plan to deal with them?"
"Not for now. But if they provoke me… that's another story," Ao Tian said casually.
Qian Renxue nodded. "The Spirit Hall has tried recruiting the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School many times, but their bones are too hard. If they never submit… we'll eventually have to destroy them."
Just then, someone shouted from outside:"Your Highness, His Majesty summons you!"
Ao Tian said, "I'll go first. Contact me if you need anything."
"Alright."
Qian Renxue quickly changed clothes and headed toward Xue Ye.
Clearly, he summoned her because of the deaths of Xue Xing and Xue Beng.
