An Zhen ultimately decided to teach Gu Yuena a lesson for causing trouble so early in the morning.
"A fellow with a light aura appeared outside the door earlier," Gu Yuena said softly after she was satisfied.
A light aura?
Yan *Shixiong* or a teacher?
"That's right."
An Zhen remembered his purpose from yesterday. "Gu Yuena, what's your situation now, and how did you get your background?"
Regardless, Gu Yuena was now his woman. Although An Zhen had a heart of great love, he would definitely protect his woman and shoulder his responsibilities.
"This..." the stunning young woman, who was lying on An Zhen's chest, began to speak.
To obtain a legal identity in the human World and get a recommendation letter from the main city lord, Di Tian directly kidnapped a female main city lord, brought her before the Silver Dragon King's true form, and used powerful mental force to hypnotize and guide her.
Now, Gu Yuena's identity was that city lord's niece, who had been sickly since childhood and rarely went out. Bi Ji and Di Tian were her aunt and butler.
"Compared to a human genius Spirit Elder, I'm no different except for stronger mental force and knowing a bit more," Gu Yuena said.
Gu Yuena took off the beautiful silver scale she had always worn around her neck, which had very profound patterns engraved on it.
"This is my reverse scale. I've sealed some of my abilities within it. You can treat it as a divine tool. Its ability to shield against external and even divine perception comes from it."
"I obtained a World..."
An Zhen described the World adjustment mode Spirit as his fortune. This thing couldn't be hidden. All Shrek Academy students knew that his dream World allowed people to cultivate while attending class. "But Na'er, you are half of the Dragon God after all. If the current World pulls you into it, I'm afraid something unexpected might happen, so I can't let you experience it firsthand."
"You should call me Master."
Gu Yuena puffed out her cheeks and nodded in agreement with An Zhen's words. "Better safe than sorry."
What a considerate girl.
Gu Yuena, the World will carry your dreams.
"Yes, my Master."
Looking at the stunning young woman lying on him, An Zhen pursed his dry lips, met her purple starry eyes, and instantly understood her meaning.
...
At noon.
The Virtual World cleared the traces from the scene.
The school uniform, which had turned into rags, was restored and cleaned.
"My Na'er is so beautiful."
An Zhen hugged and kissed his soft, fragrant junior sister.
Rebel!
Gu Yuena responded domineeringly; she should be the one taking the initiative.
According to Gu Yuena's request, An Zhen materialized a dragon scale-shaped waterbed with silver gauze and put it into her storage spirit tool.
"It's fine that you missed class this morning. I'll find someone to make up an excuse for your teacher later. If you have anything, come find me. Study hard. Humans can occupy their current position not only because of the God Realm but also because of human wisdom. Later, I will take you to experience the power of technology..."
An Zhen meticulously instructed her.
Finally, it was Gu Yuena's eagerly anticipated tale of the Dragon Clan's past.
"The Divine Star Ceremony, the death of the Dragon Clan's Crown Prince, the Dragon God's furious mental breakdown..."
"This is what I learned through my fortune."
"Perhaps only the Dragon God itself knows what it was thinking at the time."
An Zhen watched Gu Yuena's reaction.
Gu Yuena took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled.
"Regardless, my goal is to lead the Spirit Beasts to resurgence. Since the Dragon God must appear to break the curse that Spirit Beasts cannot become gods, then I shall become the Dragon God!"
The past is gone; what matters is the present, and the future.
"Na'er, together?"
An Zhen extended his hand with a smile.
"Mhm."
This time, Gu Yuena didn't resist the address. Instead, she took An Zhen's hand, pulled him into her embrace, and kissed him domineeringly.
Moments later, Gu Yuena withdrew the power that had shielded them from the outside World.
They opened the door.
They went downstairs.
The elegant middle-aged man had been waiting for a long time.
Yan Shaozhe received the news that An Zhen hadn't come to class this morning and was almost dumbfounded. Fortunately, Shrek's intelligence agency promptly provided An Zhen and Gu Yuena's hotel check-in records.
"Junior Brother, today is a school day."
Looking at the golden boy and jade girl walking down hand-in-hand, Yan Shaozhe was momentarily stunned by their beauty.
"A spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold."
An Zhen gently raised their clasped hands. "This is Gu Yuena, with twin spirits. This is my senior brother, Yan Shaozhe, the Martial Soul Department Dean."
"Hello."
"Hello." Gu Yuena greeted him coolly, her subtle, transcendent aura, like that of a superior, made Yan Shaozhe feel that his junior brother was truly remarkable.
"I forgot to go to class this morning. Please make up an excuse for me, Senior Brother."
"No," Yan Shaozhe shook his head sternly. "The Academy has its rules."
An Zhen quietly looked at the stern-faced middle-aged man.
When did you become so principled?
"Is there something, Senior Brother?"
"I'd like to ask Junior Brother for a small favor." Yan Shaozhe's face was wreathed in smiles. Qian Duoduo, Qian Duoduo, you can't even find the right direction, how can you beat me?
In the hotel restaurant, An Zhen put the peeled shrimp into Gu Yuena's plate, while Yan Shaozhe spoke about the bet he and Qian Duoduo had made earlier, where if he lost, he would give Huo Yutong to the Martial Soul Department.
An Zhen wasn't afraid of Gu Yuena knowing about his past with Huo Yutong. As long as he had the Ice Fire Dragon King's aura and dragon soul, in Gu Yuena's eyes, they were two Dragon Kings. As for the rest, it was just some disguise and past.
"Senior Brother, you said my Yu Tong wasn't good enough before. Now you've been proven wrong, haven't you?" An Zhen fed Gu Yuena.
You ignored me before, but now you can't reach me.
"Everyone makes mistakes."
Yan Shaozhe had previously invited Huo Yutong to join the Martial Soul Department, even offering the condition of a 100,000-year spirit ring and Spirit Bone, but Huo Yutong refused, saying, "I've already joined the Soul Guidance System."
After much thought, Yan Shaozhe set his sights on An Zhen.
"How about this, Senior Brother didn't give Yu Tong the core disciple status before, and it turns out Senior Brother was mistaken. Senior Brother will apologize to Yu Tong, and I guarantee Yu Tong will join the Martial Soul Department."
He would talk to his teacher later and let Huo Yutong cultivate both Spirits and spirit tools. This was also Huo Yutong's own idea. The girl wanted to become even more outstanding, and An Zhen naturally strongly supported his girl's idea.
"No problem. As the saying goes, to err is human, to forgive divine. I truly made a mistake in this matter."
With the official business concluded, it was time for personal matters.
"Senior Brother is more concerned about Ma Xiaotao, aren't you?" An Zhen looked at Yan Shaozhe, who was about to speak, and took the initiative to say.
"Indeed, I can't hide anything from Junior Brother." Yan Shaozhe's face rarely showed a hint of fatigue. He had put in a lot of effort for this disciple, whom he almost regarded as his own daughter, but the results were still unsatisfactory. "It is rumored that the Dragon God had nine sons. Elder Xuan's Taotie Divine Ox possesses a trace of the bloodline of Taotie, one of the five sons. And that Ice Dragon King, I presume, is one of the nine gods and nine sons."
"Mhm."
An Zhen nodded. "Little Tao's evil fire needs Pole Ice to suppress it, but Yu Tong's spirit power is a bit low. How about this, I'll copy the Spirit and help out together then."
"That's wonderful!" Yan Shaozhe stood up excitedly.
Ma Xiaotao's evil fire problem had always been his biggest concern.
"Then Senior Brother won't disturb Junior Brother and Junior Sister-in-law anymore. You two rest well. There's still the promotion assessment tomorrow."
Yan Shaozhe left.
Gu Yuena poked An Zhen's cheek, her tender tongue swallowing the food residue from his lips. "I'm full."
"Remember to come serve me tonight," the stunning young woman said after thinking for a moment. "You can bring your favorite decorations."
