Chapter 105: Zhu Zhuqing's Counterattack, Returning to Nuoding Academy
Although Ah Yin had never been with a man, that didn't mean she hadn't seen one before.
Zhu Zhuqing's sudden appearance, coupled with the look in her eyes, made Ah Yin realize that Zhu Zhuqing genuinely liked Qi Tian.
And the fact that Qi Tian was willing to explain to Zhu Zhuqing showed that he liked her in return.
"Qi Tian, tell me—if you have someone else, will you leave me?" Ah Yin asked.
Although this life was different from her previous life, and she hadn't married Qi Tian formally, she had spent several years interacting intermittently with Qi Tian's split soul. She had long grown accustomed to his presence.
Now, seeing Qi Tian "revived" in this state, completely aligned with her aesthetic, she naturally considered herself his wife.
"Of course not. I've gone through so much to save you—how could I ever leave you?" Qi Tian replied earnestly.
Ah Yin exhaled in relief. As long as she could stay with Qi Tian, nothing else mattered.
"Then it's settled—you're not allowed to leave me!" Ah Yin declared.
Zhu Zhuqing, overhearing their conversation, didn't come over to cause trouble. Instead, she quietly returned to her cultivation.
She had already guessed that this suddenly appearing woman was likely in a situation similar to her own.
Earlier, there had been Ning Rongrong, so she had developed some resistance to these matters.
She was already committed to the "ship," so all she could do now was focus on cultivation and find a way to suppress the other women around Qi Tian.
These were lessons her mother had taught her in her childhood.
Besides, her life was more than just love—there was her career, and she still bore the heavy responsibility of breaking the Zhu family's destiny.
So, after a glance, she turned back to cultivation. As for the woman's identity, there would be plenty of time to ask later that night.
Late at night.
Qi Tian and Zhu Zhuqing finished their cultivation and returned to their room to rest.
Ah Yin, meanwhile, went back to the Blue Silver Forest to visit her former people. In doing so, Qi Tian had fulfilled his promise to the Blue Silver King.
"Zhuqing, what are you doing?"
Qi Tian noticed that Zhu Zhuqing seemed unusually proactive tonight.
In the past, both of them had exercised restraint—just a taste, then stopping. But tonight, Zhu Zhuqing seemed unwilling to stop.
"I want to be the first!" Zhu Zhuqing was unusually strong-willed.
Qi Tian froze for a moment, realizing her meaning. She had accepted that Qi Tian had other women, but she wanted the first taste herself.
After all these years, her body had fully matured, and Qi Tian no longer restrained himself.
A night of passionate entanglement left Ah Yin, returning from the Blue Silver Forest, utterly shocked.
The following night, Ah Yin used the same approach to entwine herself with Qi Tian, solidifying their status as husband and wife.
The lies Qi Tian had fabricated had, in this moment, become reality.
"Sigh, a land of gentleness is the graveyard of heroes!"
Qi Tian had originally planned to return to Nuoding City to gather intelligence, contact Bibi Dong for revenge, and hunt soul beasts along the way.
But because of the proactive actions of Ah Yin and Zhu Zhuqing, he couldn't help but stay a few extra days.
Luckily, with his strong body and formidable martial soul, his cultivation would not be affected by indulging in such matters.
Nuoding City, Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy.
The Grandmaster's usual fatigue had faded slightly as he handed a handwritten letter to Tang San, along with some instructions.
"Xiao San, help me deliver this letter to the headmaster of Shrek Academy, Flandre. Make sure you hand it to him personally."
Tang San hesitated, reluctant to part: "Teacher, aren't you coming with me?"
The master noticed Tang San's unwilling gaze. Raising such an exceptional disciple was proof of the success of his theories.
Disciple Tang San also showed great respect toward him, which gave him an unprecedented sense of fulfillment.
"Xiao San, you've learned all of my theories. There's nothing more I can teach you. From now on, the path ahead is yours to walk."
The two parted reluctantly, cherishing their last moments together. At this moment, neither of them noticed a young boy stepping into the academy's dormitory area.
"Everything really has changed…" Qi Tian thought to himself.
He first went to the Holy Soul Village, locating the valley outside the village and the waterfall cave.
Unfortunately, the cave contained nothing—no soul bones, no Blue Silver Emperor seedlings.
Five years had passed, and Qi Tian once again stepped into the Work-Study Dormitory, the "Seventh Dorm."
Over the years, Nuoding Academy had admitted no work-study students, so this dormitory had become a double room for Tang San and Xiao Wu.
Even students who paid for enrollment had inferior living conditions.
At that moment, Xiao Wu was alone, tidying her luggage in preparation to leave for Suo Tuo City with Tang San.
Suddenly, she turned and saw a handsome young boy walk in.
"Who are you looking for?" Xiao Wu asked.
After all these years, she almost didn't recognize Qi Tian.
Qi Tian, at that moment, was multitasking—his split soul was currently possessing Bibi Dong.
Meanwhile, Bibi Dong herself had arrived in Nuoding City with several Spirit Hall elder guards.
"Xiao Wu, you don't remember me? I'm Qi Tian!" Qi Tian said with a smile.
How could Xiao Wu forget Qi Tian?
Over the years, he had haunted her dreams—she dreamt of her identity being exposed and being killed, her soul rings and soul bones absorbed by others.
But how had he come to look like this? Xiao Wu barely recognized him.
"You're Qi Tian… what are you doing here?" Xiao Wu's hair stood on end, her legs tense as she regarded him warily.
Only a few years had passed, and she couldn't believe Qi Tian had cultivated to the point of absorbing a hundred-thousand-year soul ring.
She also couldn't believe he would reveal that she was a hundred-thousand-year true-form soul beast.
Revealing her identity would mean Qi Tian giving up on absorbing her soul ring and soul bones.
So Xiao Wu didn't panic—in fact, she was almost eager to try to kill Qi Tian, then escape Nuoding City with Tang San.
"Xiao Wu, of course, I came to see you!" Qi Tian replied.
"See me? I think you're looking for trouble!"
Xiao Wu had spent years bullying Nuoding Academy students and had regained her confidence.
Now, her soul power has reached the ranked twenty-eight. She believed that Qi Tian, with his Blue Silver Grass martial soul, wasn't stronger than her.
And she was about to leave Nuoding City, no longer fearing Qi Tian's threat. She could easily kill him before leaving.
By then, with the skies vast and freedom wide, even if Qi Tian revealed her true-form soul beast identity, whoever received the information might not find her.
As soon as Xiao Wu finished speaking, she activated her Martial Soul Possession.
Her second yellow soul ring glowed, and she used a Charm skill on Qi Tian.
At the same time, she rushed toward him, wrapping him in an embrace, ready to use her first soul skill, the Waist Bow.
Normally, a soul master of the same rank, if caught by this combination, would either die or be left crippled.
Qi Tian's body was powerful, but he wasn't reckless enough to withstand a hundred-year soul skill head-on.
Xiao Wu's Charm skill did not affect him at all.
Her charge, in Qi Tian's eyes, was nothing more than walking into a trap.
Qi Tian simply extended his hand, using his body strength and soul power to restrain Xiao Wu.
A difference of over twenty ranks of soul power allowed him to crush her effortlessly.
