553. He's a Decent Man

By noon.

In Spirit City, a courtyard that was once quiet and peaceful was becoming increasingly lively.

The seven-colored carnations cultivated by the Chrysanthemum Douluo were vibrant and colorful.

All sorts of exotic flowers and rare plants competed in fragrance and beauty.

Bibi Dong had already prepared the meal, removed her apron, and walked out of the kitchen, sucking her jade-like fingers.

She looked gently at the women in the center of the lotus pond.

With light steps and a soft voice, she asked:
"Xiao Fei Die, have you taught the Snow Empress how to write her name?"

"Of course!"

Xiao Fei Die knelt on the stool, her hands propped on the table, looking up with praise.

"Sister Snow Empress is very smart, she learns as soon as she's taught."

Hearing this.

Snow Empress already upright sitting posture became even more standard, exactly like a model student.

It was rare for someone to praise her, especially for her intelligence.

Although Xiao Fei Die was indeed dumber than her.

"That's good."

Bibi Dong smiled and stepped forward.

She came to Snow Empress side, her delicate hand resting on Qian Renxue's fragrant shoulder, giving it a gentle squeeze.

Qian Renxue, holding a book, slightly tilted her head.

She caught Bibi Dong's jade-like hand and nestled it against her chest, rubbing gently.

She couldn't help but chuckle:

"Once this woman learned Jue's name, she didn't want to write any other characters."

"Oh?"

Bibi Dong's gaze fell, and she couldn't help but smile.

On the white paper under Snow Empress jade-like hand, apart from the four characters 'Ice Sky Snow Empress' at the beginning,
the rest of the space was filled with Qian Renjue's name.

"Mom, sister."

Snow Empress turned her head to look at Bibi Dong and her daughter, obedient and gentle, she said softly:
"I know other characters too, once I recognize them, they're quite simple."

"That's how it should be, Xiao Fei Die taught you this morning, you should remember a few."

Qian Renxue nodded as if it were a matter of course.

Bibi Dong stroked her daughter's tender earlobe, her vermilion lips parting, her voice warm and melodious.

"Then write and see."

"Okay."

Snow Empress nodded with some joy, looking at the small book in front of Xiao Fei Die.

"Sister Snow Empress I'll help you."

Xiao Fei Die eagerly opened the page she had just read, allowing Snow Empress to look it over.

Snow Empress bit the end of her pen, scanning and searching, quickly locking onto it.

She put pen to paper, in the space between her name and Qian Renjue's name.

Under Xiao Fei Die's expectant gaze as a teacher.

Snow Empress only wrote a few strokes
before Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong showed strange smiles, unable to hold back their laughter.

"Tsk~ looks like you still need practice."

Bibi Dong patted Snow Empress shoulder with amusement.

"Ah~!"

Xiao Fei Die covered her face in despair.

How did Sister Snow Empress manage to knock me out like this!

"Sister Snow Empress, this is the character for 'obstacle'."

"Are there many kinds of love?"

Snow Empress looked at Xiao Fei Die with confusion.

"There are indeed many kinds of love, whether in homophones or in intrinsic meaning."

"For example."

Snap!

Qian Renxue closed the book, looking towards the courtyard gate.

Her smile was somewhat cold.

"The love between that pair of dogs outside and Xiao Fei Die's love for me are quite different."

"Uncle and Little Aunt!"

Xiao Fei Die turned her head to look.

Hu Liena was holding onto Qian Renjue's arm, smiling somewhat sweetly.

"Mom, sister, it's time to eat."

Qian Renjue led Hu Liena inside, completely unaware of Qian Renxue's words.

Even if he had heard, he wouldn't have cared.

"Qian Renjue"

Snow Empress looked at Qian Renjue, subtly putting away the white paper on the table.

She would show it to Qian Renjue once she found the correct love.

"Nana."

"Teacher, I'll go get the dishes."

"Wait a moment."

Bibi Dong's lips twitched.

She helplessly scolded: "Tuck your pink underwear back in first."

"Ah!"

Hu Liena slightly lowered her gaze, then let out a shy scream, quickly letting go of Qian Renjue.

She ran into the kitchen.

"..."

Qian Renjue stood still, awkwardly facing two pairs of angry eyes.

How could he have been so careless.

Could it be... that Nana's charm technique actually had some effect.

That's why he got carried away?

"Jue, if mom finds anything dirty on my throne, you're dead!"

Bibi Dong narrowed her phoenix eyes, Qian Renxue cracked her knuckles.

"Sister told you not to mess around at home, did she not tell you not to mess around in the Pope's Hall?"

Xiao Fei Die hugged Snow Empress, shivering.

"..."

Qian Renjue's forehead slightly sweated.

Good thing, good thing he was a decent man, he didn't mess around in the Pope's Hall.

Hu Liena's head, which had just peeked out, retracted again.

For now, let the senior brother suffer a bit.

He'll have more fun later.

——

While Qian Renjue and the others were having lunch.

The people from Shrek Academy only had some dry rations, their migration was still ongoing.

To reach Heaven Dou City.

They first needed to cross the border between the Barak Kingdom and the Silvers Kingdom.

Then traverse the entire Silvers Kingdom.

Only then could they enter the Heaven Dou Empire.

Then head east towards the imperial city of the Heaven Dou Empire, constantly rushing.

The entire journey was extremely long, nearly two thousand miles.

In one day.

They had already covered nearly a fifth of the journey, about four hundred kilometers.

By the second day, they had entered the territory of the Silvers Kingdom.

Arriving at its capital.

That night.

Flender still took Tang San and the others to earn some extra money, under the guise of testing their training results.

Finally, under Yu Xiaogang's instruction.
This time.

The team they faced wasn't the 'Fierce God Team', but it was also notorious.

The 'Five Poison Team', known for only administering poison and never the antidote.

They were turned into porcupines by the Zhuge Divine Crossbow.

Ning Rongrong was the first to react, covering her mouth, she hurriedly ran out.

Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu followed closely behind.

Then Oscar, Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai
Only Tang San, upon hearing the referee's announcement, walked out with a calm expression.

Yu Xiaogang and the others were already waiting to start the lesson.

Only Zhu Zhuqing stood straight, letting the teacher's wife lean on her shoulder, nestled in her arms.

Under Qian Renjue's supervision, she had already killed someone.

While Xiao Wu was full of enthusiasm, watching Dai Mubai and the others in their sorry state.

They ran out only because they were worried about Ning Rongrong.

Meeting Tang San's surprised gaze.

Xiao Wu immediately glared back.

"Tang Xiaosan, what are you looking at? Do you want Sister Xiao Wu to buy you some ketchup to eat?"

"Uh, no need for that."

Tang San scratched his head, retracting his gaze.

But Dai Mubai could no longer hold back, running to Oscar's side to vomit.

"Haha... what a sick cat!"

Xiao Wu was extremely pleased.

Yu Xiaogang glanced at Flender beside him.

"Is this the student you brought up? Even the girls are better than them."

"This, this..."

Flender looked at the facts before him, speechless.

After the small interlude passed, the Shrek team continued forward, and four days passed in the blink of an eye.

Ning Rongrong had already fully recovered.

Only, she had lost some of the delicate temperament of a greenhouse flower, fitting more into the world of spirit masters.

"Tsk, who bought the map? Why isn't it marked..."

Flender complained while looking at the map, completely forgetting it was his own fault.

He could only ask Yu Xiaogang for advice.

"Grandmaster, we're about to reach Heaven Dou City, but where is the Royal Academy located in the city?"

"How would I know if you don't?"

Yu Xiaogang leaned on his cane, looking at Flender with a hint of mockery.

"And you call yourself a dean?"

"What do you mean call myself? I am one, aren't I?"

Flender retorted unhappily.

"You're the grandmaster, don't you know either?"

"You!"

Yu Xiaogang glared at Flender, snorting coldly.

"Different professions have different expertise, understand!"

"Understand, of course I understand."

Flender smiled smugly, turning to look at his old friends behind him.

"Wuji, Shao Xin, do you know?"

"I've only been to Heaven Dou City twice, and I don't recall seeing the Royal Academy."

Zhao Wuji shrugged helplessly.

The other three teachers nodded in unison, indicating they were of no help.
