In an isolated area, a woman was leaning on a pillar and was crying.

"Empress Liao Ling is quite courageous, but why didn't you meet him?"

It sounded like a question full of concern, but when Liao Ling had heard it, it was full of mockery.

She breathed out and said emotionlessly, "Hu~it's none of your concern. You finally showed up, vermin."

The voice full of mockery was actually the black devouring spider, Hei Yu.

"I'm not like you who can't even control you're emotions. The time isn't right. When I meet him, I'll naturally be prepared."

Hei Yu continued, "We all know Hao Yu's temperament. If I come off too strong, he'll distance himself. After all these years of being an empress, you only know how to kill, I overestimated you."

Hei Yu left, and Liao Ling simply looked up at the sky wiping her tears.

…

"Why did you talk to her?" a seductive voice range out and nine fox tails were flowing.

"I'm not like you, Su Su. I'm not afraid of all of you. And even more, I want all eight of you to see me and Hao Yu together."

"Hei Yu, don't be too confident. He doesn't even know you, and you think you'll win? What a joke hahaha~"

"....Su Su, why are you here?"

"Why? Can't I be here?"

"Don't think I don't know what you're doing, you evil fox. If you're here, you must have planned it all out."

"Does a teacher need a reason to be at the academy?"

Hei Yu narrowed her eyes, "As expected, you chose to become a teacher." She then smiled, "Too bad that'll fail. From now on, he'll only see you as someone he works with."

"You can't be sure, Hao Yu will be with me more often than any of you."

Hei Yu scoffed, "sure." and then left.

Su Su also stood there for a while and then disappeared with smoke.

….

Hao Yu stretched and looked at his storage ring. "Geez Feng Leng is worthy of being the number one alchemist.

He gave me 23,431 top grade pills. Does he want me to become a powerhouse!?"

Hao Yu had not used even one pill. Although he felt bad about lying Feng Leng about using pills, he really didn't want to breakthrough.

Being in the mid range in his cultivation was just too good for him.

"I can just kowtow to anyone that overwhelms me, why bother cultivating painstakingly. Even if Feng Leng's enemy tries to target me, I can just tell him to come save me. He's a great emperor after all. Lets see.."

In his storage ring he also found 10 million top grade spirit stones. "Well, I don't really have a use for these either. I don't have to buy food or pills and I have a job." he thought for a while.

"Should I just give these away?"

Hao Yu was thinking whether he should give it to a mortal and let them ascend or give it to his students.

"Too much thinking, who even cares." Just like that he threw his storage ring to his bed as if it was something useless.

"I would rather be brain dead and live my life in peace."
