At the Rose Hotel, Bai Mu stood in front of the three girls, suppressing the excitement in his heart.
"Today," he said with a grin, "which of you wants to spar with me first?"
"You said I'd be the main wife! I'll go first!"
Ning Rongrong stepped forward without hesitation.
Zhu Zhuqing followed silently, taking a small step ahead as well.
She absolutely couldn't fall behind.
Dugu Yan smiled faintly and leaned closer.
"Master, you haven't guided my cultivation in a long time. I'm really looking forward to it."

Before long, the atmosphere finally calmed.
Ning Rongrong stood there with reddened eyes, her voice hoarse.
"Bai Mu… you lied to me again."
"Rongrong, don't cry."
Bai Mu sighed and crouched down in front of her, his tone softer than before.
"I never lied to you."
"You said I'd be the main wife."
"And you are."
Bai Mu looked at her seriously.
"I only put you last because I value you the most."
Ning Rongrong clenched her fists.
"That doesn't make sense at all…"
"It does," Bai Mu said calmly.
"As the one in charge, you need to be more tolerant and help maintain harmony."
"I don't want to be the main wife anymore!"
"No."
Bai Mu shook his head firmly.
"Only you are suitable for that position."
Ning Rongrong turned her head away, clearly unconvinced.

The Next Morning
When the three girls woke up, Bai Mu made a formal announcement.
"Ning Rongrong's position is unquestionable. Does anyone object?"
"No."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded quietly.
Dugu Yan smiled and raised both hands in surrender.
Ning Rongrong, however, did not look happy at all.
"Waaah…"

One Day Later
Dugu Yan departed with the Heaven Dou team.

Two Days Later — Shrek Academy
At the academy gates, Bai Mu prepared to leave.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing stood beside him, clearly reluctant to part.
Tang San also came to see him off. Though his eyes were no longer as bloodshot as before, the exhaustion and anxiety were still evident.
"Bai Mu," Tang San said solemnly, "I'll leave Xiao Wu's matter to you."
"Don't worry."
Bai Mu patted his shoulder.
"I'll use every connection I have. The moment there's news, I'll inform you."
He spoke earnestly:
"Xiao Wu isn't just your sister. She's also my friend—and the forever leader of Dorm Seven. I'll do everything I can to find and protect her."
Tang San looked into Bai Mu's eyes and saw nothing but sincerity.
True friendship reveals itself in hardship.
"Thank you, my brother," Tang San said firmly.
"If you ever need me, I'll go through fire and water for you."
"Focus on cultivating," Bai Mu replied with a smile.
"To find her, save her, and protect her—you must become stronger."
Tang San nodded heavily.
"I will."
Ning Rongrong puffed out her cheeks.
"You think you can just leave after bullying me?"
Zhu Zhuqing said nothing, but her gaze lingered on Bai Mu.
"I have important things to do," Bai Mu said lightly.
"I'll wait for you in Heaven Dou City later."
"Who wants to be your empress!"
Ning Rongrong snapped immediately.
"Hahaha—"
Bai Mu laughed and summoned Zygarde in its dragon-dog form.
"Little Softie! Full speed ahead! Destination—Heaven Dou City!"
"Awooo—!"
Zygarde roared and shot forward like a streak of green lightning, disappearing down the road.
The wind howled past his ears.
Bai Mu's heart raced faster than the scenery.
Three months of preparation.
A plan long in the making.
The time to harvest had finally arrived.
"Sister Xiao Wu," Bai Mu murmured, his eyes shining,
"wait for me."

Sunset Forest — Eye of Ice and Fire
When Bai Mu arrived, someone was already waiting.
Dugu Bo bowed respectfully.
"My Lord, the mission was successful. The hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit that transformed into human form has been captured and is currently imprisoned in the wooden house."
"Excellent."
Bai Mu stepped forward, his gaze sharp.
"Very good."
He patted Dugu Bo on the shoulder.
"You did not disappoint me, Poison Master."
