"Okay," Su Ran nodded in agreement, "I'll go back with you after I've settled things here."

Upon receiving an affirmative reply, Huo Wu's face showed a hint of relief and gratitude.

Seeing this, Su Ran felt a surge of tenderness. She stepped forward, stretched out her arms, and gently but firmly embraced Huo Wu.

"Xiao Wu," Su Ran's voice was low and filled with longing, "we're having a baby, it's time to name them. What do you think would be a good name?"

"Name it?" Huo Wu leaned on his shoulder and repeated softly.

"My husband can make the decision; I'll listen to whatever you say."

"Okay, let me think about it."

Su Ran thought to herself that she had to give her child some cool names.

"If it's a boy, how about we name him Gao Jianli? If it's a girl, how about we name her Gao Xi?"

These two names are both great heroes and outstanding figures who have left their mark on the history of our Gao family.

Our children, in the future, must be like our ancestors, upright and indomitable, or gentle yet resilient.

Huo Wu listened quietly, though she didn't understand the specific origins of these names, but she saw that Su Ran spoke with solemnity and pride.

Her lips curved slightly, revealing a gentle yet tender smile, and she nodded again.

"Yes, whatever you say, my husband."

Just as the two were deeply in love.

Suddenly, a series of footsteps came from outside the cave.

A man exuding a powerful aura, who was at the head of the group, shouted towards the cave:

"You beast! Release the people of my academy immediately, or I will annihilate you, body and soul!"

The voice contained pure fire-attribute soul power fluctuations, which, although weakened by the cave, still revealed considerable cultivation.

Su Ran raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of understanding flashing in her eyes.

What was bound to happen eventually did happen, and it happened sooner than he had anticipated.

It seems that there's some secret to why Blazing Fire Academy is one of the five major elemental academies; they were able to find its lair.

Although they lack a titled Douluo to oversee them, they should not be underestimated.

He loosened his arms and turned to face Huo Wu.

Huo Wu had obviously heard the shouts outside, and the warm blush on her face quickly faded, replaced by tension and worry.

Now that she's pregnant with Su Ran's child, she naturally no longer has those thoughts of tearing Su Ran to pieces.

Instead, they became worried about Su Ran's safety.

"Husband, it seems the headmistress has arrived! She must have brought a lot of people. You can't defeat them. Let me go out and explain things to them..."

Before she could finish speaking, Su Ran raised her hand to interrupt her.

"Xiao Wu, your husband will handle things outside. Your health is not the same as usual, so don't overwork yourself. Just stay in the room and rest."

"Husband!" Huo Wu gripped his hand tightly, her fingertips trembling slightly. "I don't want any of you to get hurt. Just let me out. I'll explain, and everything will be alright."

Huo Wu looked up, her eyes pleading.

Su Ran took her hand in his, gently patted the back of her hand, and said in an unquestionable tone, "Xiao Wu, be good. Your husband will handle this matter."

"I promise that I will not harm anyone."

"But my husband, your strength..."

"Alright, listen to your husband! My strength has increased greatly recently, so you should pray that your dean doesn't get hurt later!"

Hearing this, Huo Wu was still worried, but seeing Su Ran's serious expression, she had no choice but to change her words and give him further instructions.

"Then... my husband, please be careful. If you need anything, just call me. Tell the headmistress... tell her that Huo Wu is willing to be with you and is doing well. She will definitely go back to visit her in a few days."

"Okay," Su Ran nodded and released her hand. "Xiao Wu, just wait patiently."

He had his own reasons for repeatedly preventing Huo Wu from going out.

With his current strength, if Huo Wu goes out to explain, wouldn't he be looked down upon?

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Ran didn't delay any longer.

With a slight thought, a hazy white light emanated from his body, and his figure vanished in an instant within the light.

The next moment, he appeared outside the cave like a ghost.

The scene outside the cave was bustling with noise.

The leader was a man dressed in a fiery red outfit, with a faint glow of fiery red soul power flowing around him; he was the one who had spoken earlier.

Behind him stood a large group of no less than a hundred people, dressed in various styles, clearly belonging to different factions.

Besides the expected Blazing Fire Academy logo, there were also forces from the four major academies of Divine Wind, Heavenly Water, Thunder, and Elephant Armor mixed in, forming a semi-encirclement around the area, and figures were still arriving from the distant ice slope.

All eyes were immediately fixed on the enormous soul beast that had suddenly appeared.

"You're that beast? Release my academy students right now! Otherwise, I'll make your bald eagle clan pay a bloody price."

Upon seeing the white-headed eagle appear before her, Huo Xingyun immediately shouted.

"You must be the dean of Blazing Fire Academy. May I ask your name?" Su Ran asked politely.

"Your soul beast can actually talk?" Huo Xingyun was somewhat surprised. As a level 78 Soul Saint, he had seen a lot and naturally knew that for a soul beast to speak, it had to be at least a hundred thousand years old.

But the one in front of us clearly isn't.

After a brief moment of lapse in composure, Huo Xingyun quickly regained his composure. Now was not the time to delve into the secrets of the soul beasts; rescuing the students was the top priority.

He stepped forward, his soul power surging, his voice even colder and more stern:

"Stop beating around the bush! Where is Huo Wu now? Hand her over safely at once!"

Su Ran shrugged:

"You're practically my father-in-law. Huo Wu already said we'll come see you in a while. Why don't you two go back first?"

Huo Xingyun was furious and shouted, "You bastard, who's your father-in-law? Hand him over right now!"

"Hmph, I knew I couldn't explain it away. Let's fight then!"

Su Ran unleashed his full power, and the immense pressure instantly overwhelmed most of the people from the five elemental academies.

The strongest group they brought this time consisted of only three Soul Saints.

The others are all Soul Emperors or Soul Kings, and the lowest level is even a Soul Venerable.

Su Ran's current strength is definitely beyond what their small group can contend with.
