In Douluo Continent, Tang San raids my base right from the start.

Chapter 207 Don't be stubborn.

"Next, please welcome..."

After the competition ended, the emperor of the empire, as the host, naturally had to deliver a passionate speech.

He then announced that due to his own busy schedule, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe would serve as the special guest and judge for the finals in his stead. He would also lead the Royal Knights to escort the Imperial teams to the city where the finals would be held, with the departure time set for three days later.

After speaking, he left the venue surrounded by a group of high-ranking officials.

Zhu Wu stood up from his seat and nodded slightly to Huo Wu, who was looking over. Huo Wu pursed her lips and led her team over.

"Speak, what do you want?" She stood in front of Zhu Wu, feeling she couldn't back down in front of her love rival, and said arrogantly.

Having read the original story, Zhu Wu knew this woman's temperament was just like that, and was used to it. He calmly asked, "Will you stay somewhere nearby or return to Blazing Fire Academy?"

Could it be that they're coming to see my parents? Huo Wu's heart skipped a beat, and she lowered her voice, "I'll go back to the academy and spend some time with my parents first."

Zhu Wu nodded slightly, then turned to look at Huo Wushuang and the others behind Huo Wu, "It's getting late, how about we have dinner together tonight?"

As he spoke, his gaze swept over the Shrek Academy students who were walking out, lingering briefly on Tang San and Yu Tianheng.

"Then it would be impolite of us to refuse," the teacher in charge said politely, understanding the situation immediately.

With the Beastmaster Sect protecting them, what are they afraid of, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, Tang Hao, and the Clear Sky Sect?

"Thank you," Huo Wushuang said politely.

"You're welcome," Zhu Wu smiled. "Just call me Yingtian. Let's go."

Huo Wu didn't speak, but her gaze softened considerably.

"Yingtian," Huo Wushuang suddenly interjected, "Um, could I bring my friend Feng Xiaotian along?"

He didn't want anything to happen to Feng Xiaotian, his good brother of so many years.

"Of course," Zhu Wu smiled. "If you want, you can also call over people from Tianshui Academy."

Huo Wu's eyes narrowed slightly as she stared intently at Zhu Wu. Although he meant well, did he have other intentions?

"Okay, I'll go right away," Huo Wushuang said hurriedly.

Having more friends means having more protection, so he doesn't recommend that everyone join a tour group together.

"Then let's go first." Zhu Wu nodded without changing his expression and turned to walk towards his residence.

Huo Wu smacked her lips and followed closely behind.

On the other side, Ning Fengzhi, who had been paying attention, glanced back thoughtfully, then turned to look at Xue Ye, "Your Majesty, let Qinghe accompany me to Yingtian later."

Xueye was taken aback, glanced back, smiled and nodded, then turned to say, "Qinghe, then you should accompany your teacher to pay a visit."

"Yes, Father." Xue Qinghe replied respectfully.

Ning Fengzhi is indeed a good teacher, he thought to himself.

Judging from the direction Huo Wushuang ran, she was clearly going to call upon the Shenfeng Academy students who had also offended Tang San. Long Yingtian's summoning of the Chihuo Academy students clearly indicated an intention to protect them. At the same time, it's possible he also harbored thoughts of winning them over, or at least intentionally forming a united front against Tang Hao and his son. Her visit at this time, from a certain perspective, represented royal support, which would likely garner some goodwill.

Gaining favor from many parties through a single appearance is certainly beneficial to her as the "crown prince".

Thinking this, I continued walking forward with the snow.

After some time, night fell, and a campfire flickered in the courtyard.

There was no need for Zhu Wu to cook; the Royal Knights' chefs delivered the food themselves, along with various fruits, vegetables, and meats. Zhu Wu took out a barbecue grill from his soul tool and personally taught the chef how to use it, earning repeated thanks. Feeling that he had learned a new skill, he worked very hard.

"Sister Huowu, Sister Bing'er, if you run into Shrek Academy in the finals, you'd better be careful," Ning Rongrong said, speaking sweetly.

"That Tang San is very vengeful; he will definitely not let you off the hook if he gets the chance."

"Hmph, it's not certain who will let whom go." Huo Wu sneered.

"Thank you for reminding me, I will be careful." Shui Bing'er was much more reserved and responded earnestly.

"Yingtian, do you think it was Tang Hao who sneaked into your residence at the Royal Academy back then?" Huowu spoke her mind directly.

"Who else could it be?" Ning Rongrong sneered. "Brother Tian just mentioned to Sister Lingling that he had some rare and precious herbs that would suit her, and that Title Douluo arrived that very night. What a coincidence! You know, Tang San and Sister Lingling both have plant-type martial souls."

The chef, realizing he had heard something extraordinary, buried his head in brushing the meat and remained silent.

"I never expected that the mighty Haotian Douluo would be this kind of person," Huo Wushuang exclaimed.

"Rare treasures are hard to come by, and it's normal for a father to want to fight for his child." Feng Xiaotian shook his head. "However, for a Title Douluo to steal from a junior like this is really despicable and unbecoming of him."

"Theft?" Huo Wu disagreed. "If they get caught halfway through, they'll probably kill him to cover it up. They say birds of a feather flock together, and if Tang San, the son, is this awful, how bad do you think Tang Hao, the father, can be?"

Feng Xiaotian fell silent; he had to admit that this possibility was extremely high.

The others remained silent, but their feelings towards Tang Hao plummeted. What was once admiration had turned into indifference and disdain.

"Yingtian, then you..." Huo Wushuang asked tentatively.

"There's no evidence yet, is there?" Zhu Wu chuckled. "As for the future, who knows?"

"I support you in anything you do to get rid of Tang San," Huo Wu said immediately. "I was almost poisoned to death by him."

Huo Wushuang frowned. "I will not accept such a cruel treatment of my sister, even if it comes from the Haotian Sect."

The instructors from Tianshui Academy and Shenfeng Academy exchanged glances. From a personal perspective, they were all willing to support Shrek Academy, but they couldn't openly express it. After all, Shrek Academy was backed by two top-tier forces: the Clear Sky Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

The best approach right now is to avoid offending anyone.

"We'll talk about the future later," Zhu Wu said dismissively, then chuckled, "Let's eat."

Upon hearing this, no one asked any further questions and everyone began to eat.

While they were eating, Huo Wu spoke up, "Ying Tian, ​​can you tell me why you left Shrek Academy in the first place?"

Despite his rough exterior, Zhu Wu was quite shrewd. He glanced at the woman with admiration.

"I'll explain this," Ning Rongrong said first, beginning to narrate from a third-person perspective.

"What kind of weirdos are at Shrek Academy?" Everyone listened with great interest, further lowering their impression of Shrek Academy.

"Zhu Zhuqing is really stupid; she can't even understand something this simple," Huo Wu commented on Zhu Zhuqing.

"If I had chosen to go with them back then, I might have been able to snag the young master's wife of the Beast Sect by now." He glanced at Zhu Wu.

"I don't like stupid women," Zhu Wu said calmly.

So, I'm not a stupid woman. Huo Wu felt a slight warmth in her heart and nodded slightly.

"Yingtian, what are your plans after the Soul Master Competition ends?" Feng Xiaotian couldn't help but ask.

"Take Ling'er to a wider world to gain experience and consolidate what she has learned," Zhu Wu said.

"Brother Tian, ​​can I come along?" Ning Rongrong asked quickly.

Huo Wu and Ye Lingling also looked over.

"No," Zhu Wu shook his head and said bluntly, "It's too dangerous. Ling'er and I both have the ability to fly, so it's safer."

Ning Rongrong, Ye Lingling, and Huo Wu all looked downcast; they didn't even have the right to accompany them.

"Everyone's path is different. The unique characteristics of our Beast Illusion Sect's martial spirit dictate that we can't stay in one place." Zhu Wu glanced at the women. "Besides, if two hearts are truly in love, why should they be together every day?"

"We are still young, and we have a long future ahead of us."

"But as Soul Masters, your prime cultivation age is limited," Dugu Bo reminded him as an elder. "Don't forget, disciples of the Illusionary Beast Sect can extend their lifespan by several hundred years after breaking through to a higher realm."

"With Yingtian's comprehension, at least in my opinion, he is absolutely capable of taking that step."

"If you don't cultivate diligently now, Yingtian will only be able to watch you all grow old and die in the future."

"Furthermore, as the head of a clan, he absolutely cannot stop for the sake of the future and safety of his people."

"You've all consumed rare and precious herbs, and you all have the chance to take that step. You can't let it go to waste."

"I will definitely work hard to cultivate," Ning Rongrong said immediately.

Ye Lingling didn't speak, but her gaze was firm.

Only Huo Wu's expression darkened. She was already 19 years old, but her soul power had only reached level 44, and her talent was not considered good in comparison.

Zhu Wu noticed her worry, but he didn't say anything more. This place wasn't suitable for Huo Wu to take the immortal herb.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore, let's eat." He said with a smile.

Before long, Ning Fengzhi brought Xue Qinghe to visit.

After exchanging pleasantries, Ning Fengzhi asked, "Yingtian, would you like to come back to the sect with me tomorrow?"

"No need," Zhu Wu shook his head. "It's fine at the academy; I happen to have some things to do anyway."

"Okay." Ning Fengzhi nodded gently.

"Brother Yingtian, what are your plans after the Soul Master Competition ends?" Xue Qinghe asked as soon as Ning Fengzhi finished speaking.

"Continue traveling across the continent," Zhu Wu said calmly.

"."

After some conversation, everyone said their goodbyes and left. Huo Wu followed Huo Wushuang away in a somewhat silent manner.

Nothing was said that night. The next morning, students from various colleges left the Great Parade Ground one after another, including Zhu Wu.

In the afternoon, after giving instructions to Ling'er and Rongrong, Zhu Wu transformed into a bird and flew away from the academy.

As a senior soul master academy in the Heaven Dou region, Blazing Fire Academy is not too far from Heaven Dou City. The academy is also located in a high mountain, and the environment at the foot of the mountain is quite beautiful. However, from the middle of the mountainside up, it is all bare rock, completely barren. Further up, there are dark red buildings completely exposed to the sunlight, with walls inlaid with various fiery red crystals, and tropical plants growing all along the roads.

Clearly, these crystals possess heat-generating properties, transforming the academy's environment into a tropical one.

Time passed, and the sun set. In the living room of a house behind the academy, Huo Wushuang sat at the table, talking incessantly, recounting everything that had happened in the qualifying rounds to his parents sitting opposite him. Huo Wu, sitting next to Huo Wushuang, appeared rather quiet and uninterested.

"That Tang San is truly despicable!" The mother was furious when she heard that her daughter had almost been poisoned to death by Tang San.

"Thank goodness for Young Master Long, otherwise..." The father said with lingering fear, "We must repay such a great favor if we have the chance."

Huo Wu looked up and said bluntly, "He lacks nothing. I've already given myself to him."

"!!?" Mom and Dad were shocked.

"Pfft!" Huo Wushuang, who had just finished recounting the process of the qualifying match and was picking up a water glass to moisten his throat, spat it out in one gulp.

"He...he...accepted?" Mom asked, her eyes wide.

"Of course, am I that bad of a daughter?" Huo Wu pouted.

"Daughter, you need to think this through carefully. This is a matter of your lifelong happiness!" The father was clearly a little anxious.

It's disheartening to lose a little girl I've cherished for nearly 20 years.

"Daughter, have you fallen for Long Yingtian?" The mother clearly knew her daughter's temperament. If she didn't like him, even if he had saved her life, she would never have offered herself up to him.

"I have a tiny bit of affection for him." Huo Wu was very stubborn about this, and had already made up her reasons, "Putting aside the fact that Long Yingtian saved my life, you all know what kind of person Tang San is. He definitely won't let us go if he gets the chance."

"For your sake, and for the safety of the academy, I need to find someone to back me up, right? Besides, consider it as borrowing sperm."

Father and brother: "???"

"Outsiders are afraid of Tang San, but ultimately they're afraid of Tang Hao, a Title Douluo, and the Clear Sky Sect, aren't they?" Huo Wu continued nonchalantly, "What if our family also produces a powerful Title Douluo?"

At this point, his expression darkened.

"Since I'm destined for a difficult life anyway, let my child complete it. Long Yingtian is so talented, his offspring shouldn't be bad either."

"If you like it, just say so. Don't be stubborn." The mother was speechless, and the man directly betrayed her, saying, "Do you think I don't know you?"

"You looked so lost and dejected as soon as you got home. I could tell right away that you have someone in your heart."

"How come I didn't see that?" Huo Wushuang looked completely bewildered.

"No way!" Huo Wu denied it outright. "I'm just unwilling to accept defeat."

The old man trusted his wife and ignored his daughter, saying with a bitter expression, "But I've heard that Long Yingtian has quite a few female confidantes around him."

"Shuang'er, how is their relationship?" Mom asked.

"It looks pretty good," Huo Wushuang said truthfully. "It seems like we've never been apart."

"Hey, aren't you guys listening to me?" Huo Wu glared, looking annoyed.

"Listen," Mom said, turning her head. "So, has your son Yingtian said when he's coming to meet his mother-in-law?"

Huo Wushuang was immediately startled and hurriedly said, "When the qualifying rounds ended, Long Yingtian asked my sister whether she wanted to find a place to stay nearby or go back to the academy."

"Then I'd better get ready." Mom immediately sat up straight.

"Like mother, like daughter?" Zhu Wu, who had landed on the windowsill in bird form and was observing his father-in-law and mother-in-law's temperaments, couldn't help but think.

"Flutter, flutter." It flapped its wings and flew into the house.

"Hey, a magpie came into the house." Mom looked over. "A good omen."

Then the magpie landed, flashed silver light, and suddenly appeared in front of the family of four.

"Long Yingtian!" Huo Wushuang exclaimed in surprise.

"!!?" The couple were both shocked. What was going on? Moreover, they couldn't sense any soul power.

"Well-reasoned." Zhu Wu first turned to look at Huo Wu, "They've even come here to borrow sperm."

He then bowed to the couple.

"I've met my parents-in-law."
