The next morning.
Shen Han Yu slowly opened his eyes, then felt the familiar warmth beside him and was slightly stunned.
He sat up slightly and realized that the person in his arms had somehow been replaced by Shui Bing'er, while the Snow Emperor who had been sleeping beside him had long since disappeared. The bed had already lost its residual warmth, clearly indicating that some time had passed.
Sensing Shen Han Yu's movement, Shui Bing'er softly murmured a few times, then slowly opened her still somewhat dazed eyes.
"Morning…"
Shen Han Yu rubbed Shui Bing'er's slightly messy hair and said softly.
Shui Bing'er suddenly raised her head. After confirming that it was still early outside, she buried her head back into Shen Han Yu's embrace and gently nuzzled against him. She stretched her arms, then hugged one of Shen Han Yu's arms. Her long, jade-like legs clamped tightly around Shen Han Yu through a layer of light gauze, and her cool, delicate body pressed firmly against him, like a migratory bird seeking warmth. This was also her favorite habitual action.
Shen Han Yu yawned, looked at Shui Bing'er's serene sleeping face, and reached out a hand to gently pinch her cheek, causing Shui Bing'er to frown.
A crisp sound of a door opening and closing rang out. The Snow Emperor walked in carrying two bowls of white porridge with some light garnishes, placed them on the small table beside them, and after exchanging a glance with Shen Han Yu, she looked at Shui Bing'er with some amusement.
Shen Han Yu asked softly:
"Why did you get up so early today? Don't you usually like to stay in bed…"
The Snow Emperor let out a light hum, then said:
"Isn't Bing'er here? Anyway, Young Master Shen's arms never lack beautiful women. What difference does it make whether I'm there or not…"
Shen Han Yu found it rather amusing and decisively changed the subject:
"How is the situation outside?"
The Snow Emperor gently swallowed a mouthful of white porridge, then said:
"Nothing much. Starting from yesterday afternoon, representatives from many soul master academies have been arriving one after another, along with more than twenty accompanying teachers from their respective teams. But their strength is average at best; the highest is only a Soul Saint…"
"However, this morning when Ah Yu went out for a stroll, she actually encountered a few people you might be interested in…"
Shen Han Yu raised an eyebrow and said:
"That so-called Shrek Academy?"
The Snow Emperor nodded, then said softly:
"Yes, it's them. Along with that so-called Grandmaster, and two Soul Saints traveling with them, one of whom is already extremely close to the Soul Douluo realm…"
Shen Han Yu pressed down on Shui Bing'er's restless little hand, then patted her perky buttocks with a hint of punishment, gently pinching them as well. Feeling her delicate body tremble slightly, he then said softly:
"No need to pay attention to them. A bunch of motley crew; they probably aren't even enough for Ah Yu to beat…"
The Snow Emperor rolled her eyes at Shen Han Yu, then slowly stood up, lifted the quilt in one motion, and scooped Shui Bing'er up. Ignoring Shui Bing'er's still somewhat dazed expression, she gently pinched Shui Bing'er's cheek and said with a smile:
"Playing with Shen Han Yu like this right in front of me… quite stimulating, isn't it, Bing'er…"
Shui Bing'er nodded timidly. Her eyes were filled with clarity and earnestness, which for a moment left even the Snow Emperor somewhat stunned.
No, why could she be so honest?! It made her look like an unreasonable, jealous woman instead…
After shaking her head fiercely, the Snow Emperor let out a cold laugh and said:
"Alright, regardless of who is right or wrong, will you listen to Shen Han Yu's words or mine, you…"
Before the Snow Emperor could finish, Shui Bing'er trembled lightly and said:
"I'll listen to Brother…"
Shen Han Yu: "?"
A black question mark slowly rose on the Snow Emperor's forehead. She gently exhaled, gave Shen Han Yu a fierce glare indicating that he should not move, then picked up Shui Bing'er and placed her on her own lap…
…
After a round of gentle education from her sister, Shui Bing'er, with teardrops at the corners of her eyes, wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, looking as if she had been terribly bullied.
Being spanked by the Snow Emperor was already hard for her to accept, not to mention doing it right in front of Shen Han Yu. To make Shui Bing'er remember the lesson, the Snow Emperor had even forced her to look at Shen Han Yu while doing it…
Shen Han Yu was also quite helpless. Such a big show first thing in the morning… You really couldn't say anything about it; it was honestly quite stimulating…
…
By the time everything was tidied up, it was almost noon.
Shui Ning Bing sat in the living room, looking at the announcements sent by the imperial personnel, with some information about other teams placed beside her. Although it wasn't necessary, at least Shui Ning Bing's surface efforts were done quite thoroughly…
Shui Bing'er, as usual, walked at the very front of the group of girls, but the corners of her eyes still carried faint red traces. She seemed a little unsure how to face Shen Han Yu, appearing slightly awkward.
As the group walked out of the hotel, they instantly attracted quite a few gazes.
Compared to yesterday, there were noticeably more pedestrians on both sides of the street. Most were gathered together whispering, and the topics of discussion were somewhat strange, but everyone was too lazy to pay attention. After boarding the carriage, they headed straight for the Heaven Dou Grand Soul Arena.
Although today was not the opening ceremony, team members from each academy could go early to familiarize themselves with the venue and select their exclusive restrooms. Of course, this was a privilege reserved for famous academy teams; other small academies had no such qualification at all.
Along the way, carriages of various colors slowly passed by. Most belonged to other academy teams and their teachers, but exceptions inevitably appeared.
Shen Liu Yu blinked, then tugged at Shen Han Yu's sleeve and said:
"Brother, look at that group of people over there. Their team uniforms are actually shit-green… and there seem to be words on the back…"
"Recruiting… Recruiting title sponsorship!?"
Shen Liu Yu was somewhat dumbfounded and even suspected she had seen wrong. She reached up and rubbed her eyes fiercely.
Shen Han Yu and the others' gazes were also drawn over, and they couldn't help but feel a mix of confusion and amusement.
The corners of his mouth twitched a few times. Only then did Shen Han Yu say with a smile:
"Don't you remember? It's the Shrek Academy that we fought with back in Soto City. Well… of course, it's now renamed Lanba Academy…"
Shen Liu Yu blinked, then said:
"No… it really is a bit too ugly. I didn't even recognize it…"
Shui Bing'er also leaned over from the side. After looking for a moment, she said curiously:
"How did they end up so miserable? This team uniform… uh, I really don't know how to describe it…"
The others sitting in the carriage behind also chuckled softly, clearly finding it quite funny.
On the other side, the Shrek group walking on the road under various strange gazes from all around couldn't help but feel their scalps go numb.
Ma Hongjun turned his head and said with some resentment:
"Dean, are you sure there's nothing wrong with these school uniforms? I feel like…"
"Cough cough!"
Flender coughed lightly, interrupting Ma Hongjun's words, and said:
"You're mistaken. They're envious of you. Yes, envious of you…"
After a brief silence, a clear female voice rang out:
"Then Dean… why don't you come walk with us and instead keep a distance…"
Ning Rongrong hid among the crowd, clearly also feeling a bit embarrassed, but still questioned him.
Flender looked somewhat awkward and explained:
"I just wanted to give you some private space. Teachers have to be mindful too, right…"
The sturdy middle-aged man beside him also chuckled dryly and repeatedly said:
"Yes, yes, yes. Everything Boss said is right. It's all for your own good…"
The woman in the cyan cloth robe beside them, however, let out a cold snort and said cleanly and neatly:
"Flender, after we get there, you'd better not let me find out where those one hundred thousand gold soul coins that the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School provided us went. Otherwise, even if Little Gang protects you, this old lady will fight you to the death…"
Flender wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, then looked up at the sky and said:
"Old Zhao, the weather today is quite nice, huh…"
Zhao Wuji nodded repeatedly and said:
"Yes, yes, yes. The weather is really good. Not even a single cloud in sight…"
The Shrek Seven Devils in front exchanged glances, then all sighed, their eyes filled with helplessness…
In the midst of their helplessness, Xiao Wu suddenly grabbed Tang San's hand, pointed at the slowly passing carriage not far away, and said:
"Little San, look. That school emblem looks so familiar… I just can't quite remember it… Wait, isn't that the emblem of Skywater Academy…"
