Chapter 45: Farewell, Heading to Magic City Academy

As the nine burly men surrounded Xiao Ye and his friends, discussing with enthusiasm, a melodious voice called out from behind them.

"Oh my, teachers, you arrived so early?"

"I can't believe I'm the last to arrive, how frustrating!"

The voice was incredibly alluring, tinged with charm, capturing the attention of all nine men who turned to look at the door.

Bathed in radiant sunlight, casting a prismatic glow, stood a voluptuous, mature beauty with a slightly frustrated expression.

An unparalleled beauty, ripe like a peach.

In their hearts, the nine burly men tagged the alluring lady as Yunbing.

"We just mentioned Magic City Academy, and here comes their recruiter—a stunning beauty!"

"Uh-oh, she's too beautiful. Xiao Ye might be completely captivated."

"Humph! Magic City Academy is cunning, sending a great beauty to recruit."

"But she's late; we have the upper hand!"

Before the apocalypse, the basin region was known for its beauties, but post-apocalypse, Magic City Base became the national hub for beautiful women.

Seeing such a sexy and beautiful recruiter from Magic City, the nine burly men inwardly fretted.

They exchanged glances, each displaying a determined look.

They decided to go all out!

Humph, even if you have the advantage, we're not far behind!

The nine burly men formed a circle around Xiao Ye and his friends, blocking the alluring Yunbing from getting close.

Then they each offered huge incentives:

"Join Magic City Academy, and I promise you'll become a city lord upon graduation."

"Join Hangzhou Academy, and we'll give you ten low-grade grandmaster crystals."

"Join Jinling Academy, and I'll introduce you to my daughter, a professor."

This statement shocked the other eight men, "You shameless old man, he already has contract partners, and you offer your daughter!"

The Jinling Academy admissions director proudly thought, Magic City has its advantages, but so do I.

Xiao Ye's mouth twitched, a professor's daughter? No, thank you.

Nangong Siyao and Cheng Bingxi eyed the admissions director with hostility, mentally blacklisting Jinling Academy.

The other eight men glanced at the beautiful Magic City recruiter they were keeping away, thinking: That professor daughter is far away, but this gorgeous recruiter is right here.

At least she hasn't gotten close to young Xiao Ye.

Yunbing frowned at the burly men's tactics, displeased. She reached out and stepped into a spatial rift.

Above Xiao Ye's head, a stable spatial rift appeared, and a beautiful head poked through, her curious face asking:

"What are you all whispering about?"

The nine burly men looked up, stunned.

"A spatial rift only a Supreme can open? Is she a Supreme?"

"Holy crap, I remember now, she's the vice-dean of Kunpeng Academy, one of Magic City's eight academies, the Kunpeng Queen."

"It's the Kunpeng Queen!"

The nine men were taken aback, then in unison said, "Greetings, Kunpeng Supreme!"

A strong figure is respected everywhere.

The burly men sheepishly stepped aside to reveal Xiao Ye, "We weren't saying much, just discussing recruitment benefits."

Yunbing nodded, "Did you come to any conclusions?"

The burly men laughed awkwardly, "Not really."

Xiao Ye looked at the nine burly men, "Gentlemen, I've made my choice."

The men looked at Xiao Ye expectantly, having offered all their benefits, thinking he must choose among their nine academies since the Kunpeng Supreme hadn't mentioned any.

Xiao Ye said, "I've chosen Magic City's Kunpeng Combat Academy."

Cheng Bingxi and Nangong Siyao nodded in agreement, "Yes, all three of us choose Magic City Academy."

"!" The nine men were shocked, finding it unbelievable. The Kunpeng Supreme hadn't offered any benefits, yet you chose Magic City Academy? Ridiculous!

The alluring Yunbing floated out of the spatial rift, landing softly, hands on hips, "You're too late; I finalized things with Xiao Ye yesterday, hahaha!"

"Wow, yesterday? We came all this way for nothing!"

"So we're the latecomers; Xiao Ye was already secured. Sigh."

"I'm curious what Magic City Academy offered?"

The nine men finally understood that Magic City Academy was confident, not late; they had already recruited the students.

Yunbing didn't answer their curiosity.

At that moment, City Lord Nangong Qitao approached, saying, "Recruiters, your trip wasn't wasted. We have many promising candidates in Mangyuan Base City!"

The city lord gestured, and guards brought in three pairs of young candidates.

Devil Moth summoner, Wolf King summoner, Eagle summoner, all with S-grade templates.

These were repeat candidates like Jing Ran, Xie Mengxuan, Yi Luren, and others.

Unfortunately, the nine men showed little interest, S-grade templates were too common!

They didn't need to recruit them personally!

Simply put, they weren't impressed!

Seeing the recruiters' disinterest, Jing Ran, Xie Mengxuan, Yi Luren, and the others looked at Xiao Ye and his friends with complex expressions.

Earlier, outside, they vaguely heard the recruiters offering generous benefits to win over Xiao Ye and his friends.

As fellow candidates from Mangyuan Base City, the difference in treatment was stark.

The next morning.

The city lord couple, Cheng Bingxi's parents, and the orphanage head bid farewell to Xiao Ye and his friends.

Xiao Ye, Cheng Bingxi, and Nangong Siyao, at Yunbing's suggestion, planned to leave Mangyuan Base City today for the super base city of Magic City, to attend Magic City Academy.

Though the academy wouldn't start for another half month, getting familiar with the environment early was good.

The city lord couple provided ample funds, Cheng Bingxi's parents offered advice, and the three nodded in understanding.

"Good lad, managing to contract two girls, Xiao Ye is indeed the most outstanding in our orphanage!" The orphanage head was moved to tears.

The city lord reassured, "Old man, you've worked hard all these years. I'll invest more in the orphanage soon."

The orphanage head thanked him repeatedly, then turned to Xiao Ye, "You better treat these girls well, or I'll break your legs when you return."

Xiao Ye laughed, "Don't worry, grandpa, if I don't treat them well, they'll break my legs before you do!"

Nangong Siyao and Cheng Bingxi blushed, a bit embarrassed. They weren't that fierce, though sometimes a bit wild.

The alluring Yunbing chuckled, "All set? Then let's head out!"

The orphanage head whispered to Xiao Ye, "Lad, you've got two girls already, why not take this older one too? Have lots of kids, I'll help raise them!"

"!" Xiao Ye widened his eyes, "Grandpa, seriously?"

The orphanage head nodded, "Of course, I'm serious!"
