Douluo Continent: Peerless Bei Bei, Light Dragon King

Chapter 7: Following Beibei Means You'll Get Meat

Beibei knew perfectly well who the teacher she was referring to was.

Recalling Yan Shaozhe who had driven her there that morning, that cunning old fox with a sly grin on his face.

So that's where he was waiting.

As a senior member of the Sea God Pavilion, Yan Shaozhe could naturally strive to secure opportunities for his disciples to cultivate in the Golden Ancient Tree.

Once or twice is fine, but what if it happens too often? Would the other elders be willing? After all, which family doesn't have a few personal disciples?

If you go with the next generation successor of the Sea God Pavilion Master, this problem will be easily solved.

As for why? Well—if the other elders have no objections, I won't have any either.

"No need to apologize, come with me." Beibei agreed readily.

After all, Yan Shaozhe is one of his shareholders and has invested a lot over the past six years.

Now that he's asking for his share of the profits, how could he possibly refuse?

To ease the previous awkwardness, Ma Xiaotao, who was walking alongside Beibei, took the initiative to start a conversation.

"Won't going back to Shrek Academy's inner courtyard every day expose your identity?"

Yan Shaozhe could not possibly reveal Beibei's background to Ma Xiaotao.

But she could more or less guess that Beibei's identity was definitely not what her classmates thought, that some nouveau riche who came to Shrek to make connections.

"I'm not some universally loved gold soul coin; not that many people are eyeing me."

"Of course, it doesn't matter even if we get caught."

"I never place my hopes on a single plan; that's too risky."

"If someone really wants to investigate, they will find out that he is the illegitimate son of the dean of Shrek Academy."

"After all, Dean Yan's martial soul is the Phoenix of Light, symbolizing good fortune and auspiciousness. Finding a female soul master with a dragon-type martial soul to have a descendant with a dragon-type martial soul of the light attribute... well... that makes perfect sense!"

Ma Xiaotao: "..."

"What if—and I mean just what if—I betray you and tell the whole class your secrets? What will you do then?"

"First of all, it was Dean Yan who first suggested that I transfer into Shrek Academy."

"Given his treacherous and cunning nature, how could he possibly let someone with a loose tongue follow me?"

"Secondly, even if you did tell your classmates, would anyone believe you?"

People will only believe what they want to believe.

"If you say it, the students will only think that our class monitor, who is unyielding to power and wealth, has actually been bought off by a nouveau riche."

"What a shameless and filthy money-driven society."

Sometimes, what seems fake can also be real, and what seems real can also be fake.

Ma Xiaotao: "..."

She increasingly felt that Beibei and her teacher were like two cunning foxes.

After crossing the series of pavilion bridges, the two entered the territory of Poseidon Island.

Before long, they returned to the cabin.

Zhang Lexuan, who was cultivating in the inner courtyard, naturally returned a step ahead of them.

Three elegant lunchboxes were placed on the table. Zhang Lexuan ate one of the lunchboxes while saying:

"So that's what happened. The head chef delivered three meals today, saying that Dean Yan specifically instructed that Beibei is growing, so he should deliver an extra one. Turns out, she has a new friend."

"Sister Lexuan, let me introduce you."

"This is our class monitor, Ma Xiaotao, who is also Dean Yan's student."

Before Beibei could introduce Zhang Lexuan, she had already come up to Ma Xiaotao.

"Hello, Ma Xiaotao."

"My full name is Zhang Lexuan, and I am also a student at the academy. You can call me by my full name, or you can call me Sister Lexuan, just like Beibei does."

"My little Beibei, I'll have to trouble you to take good care of her from now on."

Upon hearing her full name, Ma Xiaotao was taken aback at first, and then her big eyes sparkled with excitement.

It was a look of adoration and excitement; simply put, it was the look of a little girl chasing after a star.

He hurriedly grasped Zhang Lexuan's outstretched hand, a symbol of friendship.

"You must be Senior Zhang Lexuan, the top student in the School of Foreign Languages, the Goddess of the Moon!"

"Last year, as the captain of the Shrek Seven Devils' reserve team, you participated in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament. My teacher took me to watch."

"Senior Lexuan, your performance was outstanding. Your cultivation level is higher than many of the regular team members."

"Even Teacher Du praised you, calling you a once-in-a-millennium genius of Shrek Academy."

"..."

Zhang Lexuan wasn't too surprised by her excitement and expertly gestured for Ma Xiaotao to sit down.

Clearly, this wasn't the first time she'd encountered something like this.

"You'll be coming often in the future, so we'll have plenty of opportunities to chat."

"Eat first, it won't be good if it gets cold."

"Okay, sure!"

"Sister Lexuan, you can call me Xiaotao, and Beibei too."

After her initial excitement, Ma Xiaotao calmed down a bit.

Only then did I have the mind to look at the lunchbox that Beibei had pushed to me.

Upon seeing the ingredients in the lunchbox, she finally understood why the teacher had insisted that she had to stay with Beibei.

Not only can you cultivate at the Golden Ancient Tree in the Sea God Pavilion every day, but you also get such a luxurious meal.

Moonlight rice, red jade shrimp, earthworm pork chops, pastries made from whale glue, and tea brewed from the leaves of golden ancient trees.

This combination of ingredients is not just luxurious; it contains all the essential ingredients that greatly benefit the cultivation of a Soul Master.

For a moment, her curiosity about Beibei's identity reached its peak.

People can freely enter and exit; the Sea God Pavilion is the core area of ​​Shrek Academy.

The top genius and top goddess of the Foreign Languages ​​Department lived with him.

If she hadn't known that Shrek Academy was an academy, she would have strongly suspected that Beibei's true identity was the heir of Shrek Academy and its future leader.

"Xiao Tao, how far has the evil fire in your martial soul grown?"

Ma Xiaotao, whose thoughts were interrupted, asked in surprise:

"Did the teacher tell you about this?"

"In the morning, Mr. Yan mentioned it, intentionally or unintentionally."

"My martial soul has the attribute of ultimate light, while Sister Lexuan's moon martial soul is extremely yin and cold, both of which have a certain suppressive effect on evil fire."

"Light dispels evil, cold extinguishes fire."

"I think Master Yan probably has the idea of ​​asking us to help you overcome your inner fire."

Pouting, Ma Xiaotao complained, "The teacher is always like this, beating around the bush, never saying things outright."

"Sigh~"

"The evil fire within the Evil Phoenix Martial Soul keeps increasing in strength as cultivation level rises."

"At the Soul Master stage, the rate at which evil fire accumulates far exceeds that of a Great Soul Master."
