Douluo Continent: Ice Phoenix Rebuilds Her Skills and Enrolls in Tianshui Academy

Chapter 17 A Minor Success in Alchemy! Everything is Ready!

Chu Han's impact on Shui Wuyue's life was enormous.

In the past, Minazuki never cared about the passage of time.

Time flows like water; all she needs is a peaceful and serene life.

But with Chu Han, this once-resolute dean, who had vowed never to marry, began to pay attention to the passage of time again.

Even though her face still looked as delicate as a young girl's, she had a good figure, and her clothing was always at the forefront of fashion, she still couldn't help but worry.

Soul Masters can only delay aging, but aging will eventually come.

Over the years, the most frequent "bad dream" that Minazuki had was that a tiny, almost invisible wrinkle appeared at the corner of his eye, which was a sign of aging.

She secretly started using skincare products and drinking beauty-enhancing tea.

No matter how busy I am at work, I will never stay up late and will deal with it during the day.

Mizuki hoped that her beautiful image would remain unchanged in Chu Han's heart forever.

……

After Chu Han finished eating, Shui Wuyue used her soul power to wash the dishes and tidy the table. Then she called out:

"Xiaohan, come here to Mommy, let me massage your head."

Chu Han got into bed easily and rested his head on Shui Wuyue's lap.

I closed my eyes, relaxing as I smelled a cool, refreshing fragrance.

While pressing his head down, Minazuki said:

"Xiaohan, this is your enrollment year. Will you choose to live at the academy or stay with Mom?"

"Mom, the college has separate dormitories, so I don't have to worry about awkward situations. I can live on campus, there's no need to trouble you..."

"Silly child, I'm more than happy to have you staying here, what trouble could it be? How's the pressure? Should I increase it a bit?"

"No need, the force is just right."

Mizuki frowned and sighed softly:

"If you go to college, Mom will see you less often. You're getting older, so if you meet a girl you like, just go for it. Mom will support you..."

For some reason, when she said these words, Mizuki felt a sharp pain in her heart.

My eyes were also a little wet.

Chu Han chuckled lightly, "Mom, I'm not interested in these young girls. If I had to say what I like, it would be a mature and charming woman like you..."

"Silly child, your mother is getting old."

"Where are you old? Apart from the charm that comes with age, your face and body look like those of a young girl."

"That won't work either. It's better to find someone your own age. You're not allowed to find a woman my age."

Chu Han casually said:

"Soul Masters have such long lifespans, so even a difference of several decades is nothing. After they get together, the age gap will gradually decrease until it becomes insignificant."

Minazuki's mood inexplicably improved.

She said, "Xiaohan, lean on Mom's lap and take a nap..."

……

After lunch break.

Feeling refreshed and carrying Dean Shui's fragrance, Chu Han headed to the central playground of Tianshui Academy.

Before the new reunion arrives, the first thing to end is the farewell.

Today is the graduation ceremony for the oldest graduating class of students at Tianshui College.

All the graduating seniors unanimously requested that Chu Han participate.

Chu Han would certainly give them face; the senior girls at Tianshui Academy were all very friendly, although sometimes they might seem a bit "obsessed."

However, they are kind-hearted and have a deep affection for the academy.

"Hey, look over there, Chu Han's here!"

"Waaah, little brother Chu Han, your sister is leaving..."

"I'm so sad. The thought of never seeing Chu Han again makes my heart ache."

"I feel like I'll never fall in love with anyone else in my life. Chu Han's image in my heart can never be erased."

"Do you think I can ask Chu Han for a kiss before I leave?"

"Pah, you gluttonous girl, you really dare to dream! I wouldn't even dare to dream of such a thing!"

"..."

After Chu Han arrived, the female students surrounded him.

Instantly, my nasal cavity was filled with various fragrances.

Fortunately, they mostly smelled of natural body odor and shampoo, so there was no discomfort from the smell.

Chu Han said helplessly:

"Seniors, could you please spread out a bit? You're making me a little scared..."

"Waaah, Chu Han, why am I the senior?! I wish I had entered this year! Just thinking about how this year's student council will be in the same year as you makes me so angry!"

"So, these clueless female students know what your favorite food is, Chu Han? Do they know your favorite clothes? Do they know your favorite color for shorts... Oops, I let it slip!"

Chu Han was so angry that his veins bulged.

"Hey seniors, have you guys gotten to this point? Tell me, what's my favorite color to wear...?"

"Little brother Chu Han, you love wearing blue, and you always wear super plus-size... Ugh... Why are you guys covering my mouth?!"

"You little brat, you're a monster! Don't let Chu Han think we're in cahoots with you!"

"What? Wasn't it the clothes that Dean Shui washed and hung out to dry when we went to Dean Shui's office to complete the procedures last time?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Han actually breathed a sigh of relief.

"Seniors, you guys are really weird."

"Hurry up, there are so many people, everyone take turns, no fidgeting, no talking! Otherwise I'll really get angry!"

"Aww, is the exciting part finally starting?"

Chu Han stood still, letting the female seniors take turns giving him a light hug, but they were not allowed to make any other small movements.

Otherwise, if anyone crosses the line, Chu Han will leave immediately.

At that time.

Let the senior students have their own fun at this graduation ceremony and so-called farewell party!

Many of the female students were still quite shy; they gave each other a brief hug and then ran away.

Some of the bolder ones would leave messages for Chu Han during the hug.

"Little brother Chu Han, your senior will always be waiting for you."

"Little brother Chu Han, I really like you!"

"Brother Chu Han, thank you for being there these past few years!"

"..."

Chu Han usually replies to these messages mechanically.

"No need to wait."

"understood."

"You're welcome."

"..."

The graduation ceremony didn't end until sunset.

Chu Han was not physically tired, but he was mentally exhausted.

Back at the Bamboo Grove Garden, I greeted my godmother.

Chu Han returned to his room.

He took out his "equipment" from under the bed.

It was clearly a bronze alchemy furnace.

It was specially made by a blacksmith in the city that Chu Han had commissioned.

"My alchemy skills are already at a basic level, and my foundation is perfect. With a little more practice, I should be able to refine pills using immortal herbs and produce the maximum possible quantity..."

"My current Soul Master cultivation level is sufficient to support me in refining the pills in one go and achieving flawless quality."

Everything is ready...
