"Everyone knows the situation with me," Flender stated.
"The one I love will never love me back, not in this lifetime."
"You all have similar reasons, don't you?"
"So, it's better to cut off that inch and gain strength."
"Then, we'll make a fortune!"
"At most, when we're really ready to retire, we'll have Zhuge Lan fix it."
"What do you all think?"
This series of statements shocked the four people!
No way!
You…
"You really went that far?" Zhao Wuji exclaimed, "Even if it can be restored, whether it can be used is another matter!"
"Yeah!" Lu Qibin agonized, "Won't there be psychological scars afterward? If you just can't get up, wouldn't that be a waste?"
Li Yusong was still terrified when he thought of that scene.
Zhao Wuji was also clenching his legs, filled with lingering fear.
Only Flender, smiled freely.
"So what?"
"The five of us old fogeys gathered back then for our own reasons, huddling together to weather the dangers, and we founded Shrek."
"Who among us didn't harbor grand ambitions, hoping to achieve something great?"
The other four fell silent.
Yes.
The lofty ambitions of the past, the grand pronouncements...
"Take you, Old Zhao," Flender said, singling him out. "You were chased by the Martial Soul Hall like a stray dog. Don't you want to get revenge?"
Zhao Wuji clenched his fist!
Didn't he?
He really wanted to!
"And Old Li, aren't you going to avenge yourself?"
Li Yusong's eyes turned cold, and killing intent surged.
"Old Shao, as a rare food-type Soul Sage in the world, don't you want to go further? Test the waters for Xiao Ao?"
Shao Xin was somewhat moved.
"Old Lu, hmm..."
Lu Qibin confidently crossed his arms.
He didn't have any deep hatred, nor did he have any great ambitions.
"Coming to Shrek is like retiring."
"How are you going to convince me?"
"If the brothers are training, aren't you going to join in?" Flender questioned, "Are you not fitting in? Do you not want your brothers anymore?"
Lu Qibin: (灬) Can it even be like this?
"Boom!"
Zhao Wuji slammed his hand on the table and stood up, gritting his teeth.
"Damn it, let's do it!"
"Since Little Blue said it can lead to Title Douluo, I'll risk it!"
"When the time comes, everyone will stand with me, and we'll go to the Martial Soul Hall and kill that Platinum Bishop!"
"No problem." Li Yusong said coldly, "But when I go for revenge, you all have to come too."
"Sigh," Shao Xin sighed, "Flender, I really regret knowing you!"
Flender, smiling, put his arm around Shao Xin and looked at Lu Qibin.
It's your turn now.
Lu Qibin: ()
"Flender!!!"
"You are really asking for it!!!"
Inside the room.
Flender's hearty laughter echoed.
It's great to have brothers!
No!
From now on, I should call them "sisters"!
The next day.
A man and two women, all neatly dressed, walked out of Zhuge Lan's dormitory.
Zhu Zhuqing naturally held Zhuge Lan's arm, asking about the doubts she had in practicing the Spiral Nine Shadows.
Ning Rongrong followed beside them, her expression somewhat dazed.
Last night's cultivation... It was incredibly satisfying!!! It really allowed all three of them to be together, even allowing her to experience something akin to a "Soul Power fusion skill."
This was only the lowest level of "clothed cultivation," and it already far surpassed her simulated environment.
That feeling of perceptible improvement fascinated her, especially since she, as a support-type, found cultivation difficult.
This was amazing!
She didn't want to stop at all. She even wanted to go further! But... Why did the Taiji Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Technique have that kind of acceleration method? She didn't understand.
But she wanted to try it! However... Looking at the two people in front of her, who were so intimately close, Ning Rongrong fell silent again.
Although her personality had improved a lot, she was still the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect at heart.
Her pride remained.
If Zhuge Lan were single, she could.
But Zhu Zhuqing had already taken the first step... Even though it was Zhu Zhuqing who had invited her to "join the group."
But she always felt uneasy.
And!
She was the one who came later, so wouldn't she be the 'little wife'?!
She, the young sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, playing second fiddle to someone?
If this were to get out, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would lose all face!
Actually, I can accept it.
After all, Lan is so outstanding.
It's just... Dad definitely wouldn't agree.
How about...
Have Dad have another heir?
Thinking.
They had already eaten breakfast and arrived on the training grounds.
Looking pale, Tang San and a somewhat unnatural Xiao Wu fell in line, arriving in front of Zhuge Lan.
"Thank you for the reminder last night, Brother Lan. Otherwise, I would have been in serious trouble," Tang San said sincerely. "If you need anything in the future, just ask, Brother Lan."
Even as he said this… [Emotion Points +44444]
This number already spoke volumes.
—You have courted death!
"Yes, Brother Lan," Xiao Wu said with a strained smile. "If you need anything in the future, just ask!"
This didn't trigger an emotion point – not that there weren't any, just that anything below ten thousand was blocked.
It wasn't particularly sincere, but at least his words were genuine.
Zhuge Lan just nodded.
"Little San, if you don't cultivate the Sunflower Manual, I can help you grow it back."
[Emotion Point +44444]
Tang San's cheek twitched.
He fell silent.
If he were to repair the broken meridians he had with the Mysterious Heaven Skill, it would take at least several months.
But the Sunflower Manual allowed him to walk freely after just one night.
Complete recovery would take, at most, half a month.
And besides the healing, it also boosted his internal strength, the gains even surpassing the time he spent concentrating on cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill.
After tasting these benefits, he couldn't bear to give it up.
Furthermore, he said, "Thank you for your kindness, Brother Lan. I'll cultivate for a while first, and I'll trouble you again if I need to."
Listen to that!
"You!"
As expected of you, Tang San, you changed your address so quickly.
He was being very pragmatic.
Now, he could safely continue using the technique.
"That's true."
"Since it's already been… cut, it would be a waste not to practice it."
"Right, Little San?"
Tang San's face stiffened! [Emotion Points +99999]
"Pfft—"
Ning Rongrong couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The laughter spread like a virus, and the others couldn't hold back either, all grinning.
Tang San: (▼ヘ▼#) Who told me to need their help? I'll endure it!
[Emotion Points +110,000]
Seeing Tang San get the short end of the stick, Zhuge Lan was very pleased.
He glanced at Oscar and Ma Hongjun, who were also laughing.
He casually jabbed, saying,
"What are you two laughing at? Have you decided whether or not you want to cultivate the Sunflower Manual?"
Oscar: (￣ー￣) Ma Hongjun: (￣∠￣) Oh, dear.
They laughed too soon.
The joke was on them.
Oscar and Ma Hongjun were still hesitating, clearly not having decided whether to...go for it.
Looking towards his adoptive father and teacher, he wanted to ask for their opinions.
He didn't expect...
...to find that Flender wasn't smiling. The hand that was holding his glasses had even formed a delicate orchid finger.
"No way!"
When did you get this habit?!
"Wait a minute!"
"Headmaster," Oscar cautiously probed, "Your aura today seems a bit stronger than usual?"
Flender's eyelids twitched.
[Emotion Points +11111]
So soon?
His expression was a little unnatural, but he still admitted it boldly—
"In the spirit of responsibility towards our students, we, the teachers of Shrek Academy, collectively cultivated the Sunflower Manual last night."
"The results were indeed quite good. The level 78 bottleneck that had held me back for several years was broken in just one night."
"The other teachers also broke through their bottlenecks one after another."
"This Sunflower Manual is indeed effective."
He paused.
He muttered something else.
His voice was very soft, and no one else heard it.
But Zhuge Lan, who had his mental detection active, heard it clearly.
I couldn't help but feel a little... well, you know.
No wonder my balance went from 600,000+ to 1,000,000+ this morning.
Turns out, Three chapters for today! I'm taking the little one back to the hometown to get used to the new environment. I didn't bring my computer, so I had to write these chapters by hand. My eyes are practically crossed! Please give me some votes to cheer me up!
