Unspeakable bubbles

Who would have thought it would be a mountain!

In Carmen's opinion, Bubble is still too small and might not be able to handle it.

"Bubble is fine, it's just that her hand hurts a little."

The little girl touched her hand; the dog's head was not only large, but also quite hard.

"It's alright, it's alright."

"By the way, Your Majesty, there are two seals at the end of the room..."

"Oh, it was Chrollo and Kotono who set it up."

"Kuroro also told Bubble that it was a large shadow world over there, and that Bubble should not go there for the time being."

"The Shadow World? Hmm, a troublesome place."

"Your Majesty, if you wish to conquer that world, you should wait until your skeletal army awakens."

After a pause, Carmen added, "However, I don't think the Shadow World is of much value. It would be a thankless task to conquer that place."

After spending some time in the shadowy space of the bubble, Carmen gained a deeper understanding of the shadow creatures.

It must be said that, from the perspective of staple food, they are really substandard.

The Skeleton Legion needs blood and flesh, living beings.

And shadow creatures?

After killing them, all you get is a cloud of shadow elements, which is of no benefit to the skeleton army.

"Yuko is still waiting for me outside. Oh no, I'm going to be late for class!"

The little girl hurriedly said, "Bubble's gone!"

"...Being diligent and eager to learn is always a good thing, don't you think?"

Carmen stroked his chin, looking at the three-headed dog with ill intent.

"We all work under the King, so do me a favor and let me examine your body."

The three-headed dog flicked its tail, raised its head, and left the room.

"Tsk, there will always be opportunities in the future. Hehe, at worst, I can have the bones tie you up after they wake up."

..................................................................

"Hey, you're back."

Seeing Bubbles emerge hastily from the shadows, Yuko calmly greeted them.

"Yuko, has the next class started yet?"

"There are no more classes; it's time to go home."

"Don't worry, I've asked the teacher for leave for you."

Yu Zi thought for a moment and said, "If this happens again in the future, Bubble, please let me know in advance so I can cover for you."

"Yuko, thank you!"

"We're practically family, no need for thanks, but..."

"It seems you've had a lot of interesting experiences while we've been apart. Won't you tell me about them?"

Section 181, Chapter 180: Successor

"Bubble, why are you so late getting out of school today?"

On the way home, Masumi held the little girl's hand and asked.

"Bubble and Yuko talked about what happened after they broke up, so it was a little late."

"Yuko? You've already made new friends as soon as you entered the class?" Masumi's face showed a look of relief.

Although the little girl is smart and sensible, she is, after all, a transfer student and so young. It would be a lie for Masumi to say she wasn't worried.

"Yu Zi is a former classmate and a good friend of Pao Pao."

"A former classmate? That's even better. At least I have someone I know in the class who can help me out."

"Where does she live? Let's visit her sometime."

Bubble shook her head. "Yu Zi lives at school. She even asked Bubble if she wanted to live at school too, and if so, she could live with her."

“That won’t do.” Masumi refused decisively.

"Bubble, if you want to live on campus, it will be at least another seven or eight years."

"Bubble doesn't really want to live on campus either."

"Oh?"

"Because, after I start living at school, I won't be able to see Masumi-neechan as often."

"Bubble..."

Masumi felt a warm glow in her heart, and her resolve to stay with Bubble became even stronger.

Chun had advised her to break up with Bubble, and although he didn't say anything after she resolutely refused, Masumi knew that her fiancé was still very opposed to it.

Based on Masumi's understanding of him, she knew he would find every opportunity to persuade himself in the days to come.

'I'm not a strong person, and Ah Chun is the person I love most. I can refuse once or twice, but after eight or ten times, will I really not waver?'

'I didn't have the confidence to say no before, but... but for the sake of Bubble today, I definitely won't give up!'

"Masumi-neechan, Masumi-neechan!"

After calling Masumi's name a few times, seeing her staring blankly as if lost in thought, Bubble shook her arm.

"Oh, wh, what's wrong?"

"Bubble called you so many times but you didn't answer. What are you thinking, Masumi-neechan?"

"Masumi-neechan is thinking of buying roast duck for Paopao today."

"Roast duck, roast duck, eat roast duck!"

The little girl, holding Masumi's hand, skipped and hopped on her way home.

At school, Yu Zi wasn't enjoying her good mood at all.

She had just been summoned to Augustus's office, and before she could even greet him, Augustus said, "Lu Ming is dead."

"what?"

Yuko looked at Augustus, puzzled. "Who is it?"

"Eiji's junior brother."

"Oh, death..."

"So what if he's dead? What does that have to do with me? Is that what you mean?" Augustus said indifferently.

"Yeah, I only seriously injured him. If he really died, it would be Eiji's fault."

"It was indeed Eiji who killed his junior brother."

"Hey, serves him right for not knowing his own strength!"

Yu Zi asked with a hint of schadenfreude, "Will that Broken Rock Stream punish him? After all, killing a fellow disciple is no small matter."

"It's possible that even the title of successor to the Ying Er school might be in jeopardy."

"Then you're wrong. In my opinion, not only will Eiji not be punished this time, but his position in the Hakayama-ryu will be even more secure."

"And you, Sakakibara Ikuko, will have a formidable enemy, Hakui Ryu, added to your ranks."

"……What's the meaning?"

Yuko's eyes widened: "You make it sound so serious. I only injured a minor character and then had a fight with Eiji."

"There's one more thing you did?"

"what?"

"Coercing Eiji to hand over the foundation of his school—the Earth-level technique of the Rock-Breaking Stream."

“…” Yu Zi frowned, looking at Augustus without saying a word.

"You don't understand the significance of advanced cultivation techniques, do you?"

Augustus kindly explained to Yuko, "Not all schools have internal cultivation methods. With a human-level cultivation method, a school can gain a foothold and be passed down."

"Only large sects have Earth-level cultivation techniques. If a talented person cultivates an Earth-level cultivation technique to perfection, he can rival a Fifth Ring expert from the Seven Ring Tower."

"As for me, although I am a sixth-ring honorary member, my actual strength is at the top of the fifth ring."

"Above Earth-level cultivation techniques are Heaven-level cultivation techniques, which are the foundation of super strong individuals."

Augustus advised, "Yu Zi, you kidnapped Eiji's junior brother, attempting to force him to betray the foundation of your school. Under these circumstances, no one can find fault with Eiji's decision to kill Lu Ming."

"He did nothing wrong, so Lu Ming's death can only be blamed on you."

"..."

"But don't worry, the Martial Arts Academy is not a place where any one faction can control everything. As long as you stay in the academy, I will keep you safe."

"But things become more complicated once we leave the academy."

"After all, you are my student in the academy. Once you graduate, Yu Zi, I can't interfere without a suitable reason."

Augustus stopped there, looking at Yuko without saying a word, as if expecting the girl in front of him to say something.

"Thank you, Dean! Thank you, Dean!"

Yuko looked quite frightened, and she repeatedly bowed to Augustus to express her gratitude.

"Dean, believe me, I have no intention of killing Lu Ming."

"Sigh, I didn't kill anyone, so how can it be blamed on me!"

"Luckily, Dean, you reminded me, otherwise I would never have known that things were so serious."
