Douluo: The Unrivaled Demon Lord

Chapter 41 Return, Han Ruoruo's Transformation (Please Read!)

After carefully removing the entire piece of Red Spirit Warm Jade and placing it into the storage soul guide, Shu Yan did not leave directly. Instead, he chose to pack up the nearby ore with extremely strong fire energy and take it away.

Special mineral veins are likely to develop around extremely precious jade or even gemstones. For example, the fire-attributed minerals in front of Shu Yan were obviously produced by such a large piece of red spirit warm jade.

Shu Yan checked and found that the strength of the ores after being refined should be enough to support the soul master to engrave a core magic array below level four on it.

After some effort, Shu Yan separated and took away nearly 70% of the ore within a radius of 100 meters. The remaining part was not fully developed because it was far away from the Red Spirit Warm Jade. Apart from the color being slightly different from ordinary rocks, the other effects were indeed not significant. Shu Yan was naturally too lazy to spend more effort.

After leaving the cave through the tunnel he came from, Shu Yan took one last look at the gray-black forest in front of him, and then he flew away without any reluctance.

……

After returning to Shrek Academy, Shu Yan first took the corpse of the Iron Fire Ant Queen to the special examination hall in the inner courtyard. After he took out the corpse of the Iron Fire Ant Queen, the teacher stationed in the examination hall looked at him in surprise, then took out a piece of paper and scribbled a few words before speaking:

"Student Shu, congratulations on successfully passing the first freshman assessment of the Inner Academy. This is also the first supervisory mission you have completed in your Inner Academy career. I would like to thank you for your contribution to the people of the entire continent."

Shu Yan nodded slightly, thanked him, and then stood up and left the assessment hall next to the fighting spirit area.

It was already very late when Shu Yan returned home, but the lights were still on on the second floor of Han Ruoruo's house.

Shu Yan thought about it and finally went to knock on the door.

Not long after, with the sound of light footsteps, the door was gently opened from the inside, and a fresh fragrance wrapped in water vapor wafted into his nose. Shu Yan looked at Han Ruoruo, who was wrapped in a bath towel with water dripping from the tips of her hair, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"Sister Ruoruo, I'm back."

A hint of surprise flashed in Han Ruoruo's eyes, and then she stepped aside to let Shu Yan in, and then closed the door, shutting out the cool evening breeze.

"How did you get back so quickly? Did the mission go smoothly? Did you encounter any danger?"

Walking into the living room with the orange light on, Han Ruoruo's questions came one after another, without stopping at all.

Shu Yan gestured for Han Ruoruo to sit down, then came behind her. A small piece of Red Spirit Warm Jade appeared in his hand, emitting a golden-red light. Shu Yan dried Han Ruoruo's damp hair while softly answering:

"It went very smoothly, and I didn't encounter any danger. On the contrary, this assessment actually brought some unexpected surprises."

Feeling the warmth coming from above her head and the boy's gentle touch, Han Ruoruo's heart was pounding. After a long while, she said:
"What's the surprise? Tell me about it so I can hear it too."

Shu Yan chuckled lightly, and after drying Han Ruoruo's wet hair, he placed the small piece of red spirit warm jade on Han Ruoruo's fair neck covered by her black hair.

A warmth swept over her body, and Han Ruoruo let out a comfortable moan without realizing it. Then she reacted and quickly covered her mouth with her hand, turned around and glared at Shu Yan in reproach.

Shu Yan took away the Red Spirit Warm Jade that was sticking to Han Ruoruo's tender skin. Han Ruoruo reached out to take it, and after looking at it for a while, she said uncertainly:
"Is this the Red Spirit Warm Jade?"

Shu Yan nodded lightly, then reached out and massaged Han Ruoruo's shoulders.

Well, he had to admit, he finally understood the meaning of the phrase "old shoulders, extremely smooth." Han Ruoruo's shoulders truly did feel smooth and comfortable. "I found a large piece of excellent quality Red Spirit Warm Jade beneath the Iron Fire Ants' nest. I also brought back nearly all the fire-attributed ores derived from the Red Spirit Warm Jade nearby. My idea is to use these materials to build a special training room here, harnessing the power of the Red Spirit Warm Jade to accelerate our training."

Han Ruoruo held the small piece of Red Spirit Warm Jade and said after thinking for a moment:
"That's feasible. I'll go say hello to the person in charge of this area in the inner courtyard tomorrow, and by the way, I'll ask the specialized personnel to come and help us. By the way, Ayan, take out the piece of Red Spirit Warm Jade you found. I'll see if it needs to be divided up."

Shu Yan nodded slightly, and with a wave of his hand, a piece of jade emitting a burning breath appeared directly on the low table in front of Han Ruoruo.

"Why is it so big!?"

Han Ruoruo was stunned for a moment, and the astonishment in her eyes was unmistakable.

"Yeah, I didn't expect such a huge natural Red Spirit Warm Jade to exist in this world, but after all, it's ours now."

Shu Yan increased the strength in his hand, leaving a shallow red mark on Han Ruoruo's fair skin.

Han Ruoruo cried out softly in pain, then slapped Shu Yan's hand away in a bad mood, rubbing her aching collarbone and said:
"How can you massage like this? What, do you have a grudge against me..."

Shu Yan looked down at the faint red mark on Han Ruoruo's fair collarbone and the faintly visible deep grooves below, and he still felt a little dry in the mouth.

Han Ruoruo's beauty was undeniable. Even from his perspective, she was definitely a top-tier beauty. "Snow-white skin, jade-like bones, white teeth, slender eyebrows, a beauty of the nation and a natural beauty"—these words perfectly described Han Ruoruo. Furthermore, it had to be admitted that Shu Yan had a unique filter for Han Ruoruo. With her, he could completely relax and be at ease, something he couldn't do with anyone else.

As if noticing Shu Yan's direct gaze, Han Ruoruxue moved her neck slightly, patted the place beside her, then turned her head and said softly:

"Come and sit down. Seeing that you completed the task so well, I will give you a head massage as a reward."

Shu Yan was a little surprised, but he still sat obediently next to Han Ruoruo, and then gently lay on her soft thighs.

Han Ruoruo gently massaged several acupuncture points. Shu Yan's face was full of satisfaction. Soon his thoughts were completely empty and his consciousness gradually became blurred.

Only after Shu Yan's breathing completely calmed down did Han Ruoruo stop what she was doing.

She stretched out a white finger and gently traced the contours of Shu Yan's face, and her expression became softer.

This is her boy, the boy she watched grow up little by little from a baby, the sapling she nurtured with countless emotions and obsessions. She has been waiting for this sapling to grow into a towering tree to shelter her from wind and rain, and the thoughts and desires that had been dormant in her heart late at night in the past have now been half fulfilled.

After a while, Han Ruoruo gently stood up, picked up a pillow and used it as a pillow for Shu Yan. After hesitating for a moment, she also lay down beside him, supporting her head with one hand, staring at Shu Yan's cheek in a daze.

But not long after, she fell into a deep sleep with her head resting on Shu Yan's arm...
