Hypnotizing Zhu Zhuqing

Ao Tian smiled, intrigued. "How do you want to compete?"

Dai Mubai said, "Tomorrow afternoon, in the small forest outside the village. We'll have a fair and open fight. If you win, I won't have any more intentions towards Gu Yuena. If you lose, I'll still pursue her."

Ao Tian nodded in agreement. "Since you want to fight me, I'll grant your request. However, I must warn you, there will be consequences for facing me in battle."

Dai Mubai sneered, "Let me remind you, none of my opponents have fared well."

Ao Tian chuckled, "True. I quite like your arrogant demeanor. The more audacious you are, the more satisfying the fight."

With that, Ao Tian turned and left.

"Don't forget to bring Gu Yuena with you," Dai Mubai called after him.

Ao Tian shook his head, dismissing it with a smile.

Dai Mubai clenched his fist. To him, taking someone else's girl was normal. But if it was someone he knew, he understood it wasn't quite right. Yet, he couldn't suppress the desire in his heart.

He decided that if he lost tomorrow, he would put an end to his feelings for Gu Yuena. If he won, he would assess the situation. If there was a chance, he would continue to pursue her. If not, he would reluctantly let go.

After all, they were all classmates, and they would have a long time together in the future. He didn't want to strain their relationship too much.

Of course, he was confident he would win against Ao Tian. After all, he was a thirty-seventh-level Spirit Elder, while Ao Tian was only at level 31.

Apart from the legendary Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, which Dai Mubai would take seriously, he paid no mind to any other beast martial souls. Even if Ao Tian had a Golden Dragon Martial Soul, he wasn't concerned. He had never even heard of this martial soul. Could it really be stronger than the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul?

...

Not long after Tang San returned to his room, Ao Tian came back.

As soon as he entered, he overheard the conversation between Oscar and Tang San next door.

"Tang San, what about the four new girls who arrived today? Do you like any of them?" Oscar asked tentatively.

"No!" Tang San replied, hands clasped behind his head, eyes closed.

He was in a bad mood. Over the years, he had subtly expressed his feelings for Gu Yuena many times, but she always ignored him. He hadn't given up, holding onto a glimmer of hope.

But today, everything came to an end.

Oscar was slightly excited and said, "That's good. It seems like Boss Dai is interested in a girl named Gu Yuena. That girl Xiao Wu seems familiar with Ao Tian, I wonder what their relationship is. There are only two left. Although Zhu Qing has a hot figure, what if she's an ugly duckling under that mask? So, my target is Ning Rongrong. She's pretty, pure, and delicate. Trust me, my handsome and compelling appearance will surely captivate her."

Listening to Oscar's self-indulgent words about his dream of wooing girls, Tang San felt irritated. He couldn't help but retort, "Why is it that both you and Dai Mubai have nothing but girls on your minds? Do you not feel any shame about eyeing newcomers on their very first day? We're here to study at the academy. Wouldn't it be better to spend more time on cultivation?"

Oscar, who was just about to indulge in his fantasies of picking up girls, was suddenly met with Tang San's reprimand. He was instantly embarrassed, opened his mouth to explain, but couldn't find the words.

If it were Dai Mubai or Ma Hongjun saying these things to him, he could still playfully retort.

But now, it was Tang San, this new student. His words weren't a joke at all, and he possessed such terrifying and malicious abilities. So Oscar didn't dare to argue.

He returned to his bed in a dejected manner and sat down, not daring to speak to Tang San again.

Having scolded someone for a bit, Tang San felt a little better, but he still didn't have the mood for cultivation. He decided to go to sleep directly.

He had only recently recovered from his serious injuries, so he needed a good rest.

Ao Tian shook his head with a smile. Compared to Tang San, Oscar's temperament was still a bit too tender. Getting a harsh scolding from Tang San was normal.

In Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong's room:

Xiao Wu wasn't fond of cultivation. She had transformed from a 100,000-year spirit beast, and her cultivation from those hundred thousand years hadn't entirely dissipated. Even without actively cultivating, her power would slowly increase. Of course, if she did practice, the progress would be faster.

Ning Rongrong also wasn't keen on cultivation. Back in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, there were people supervising her. With her not-insignificant talent, she had reached the twenty-sixth rank at her age.

Now that she had left the sect and no one was overseeing her anymore, she didn't have any motivation for cultivation.

After dinner, the two girls chatted in the room, complimenting each other on their legs, skin, and so on.

Whenever Ning Rongrong asked about some of Ao Tian's secrets, like his background or how he managed to create that magical carriage, Xiao Wu would always change the subject. This made Ning Rongrong increasingly curious about Ao Tian.

Who was this man? Handsome, talented, and seemingly wealthy. When she mentioned she was from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, he wasn't the least bit surprised, nor did he show any intention of flattering her.

To Ning Rongrong, this was hard to believe. Shouldn't normal people flatter her upon hearing she was from such a prestigious sect?

Unless they were from the Spirit Hall, the royal families of the two empires, or one of the three upper sects. So she speculated that Ao Tian might belong to one of these forces, but she just couldn't get it out of him.

As Xiao Wu waited and waited, she eventually mentioned she was getting sleepy. After Ning Rongrong fell asleep, she quietly left the room and went to Gu Yuena and Zhu Zhuqing's room.

In Gu Yuena and Zhu Zhuqing's room, it had always been quiet. Both of them sat on their respective beds, cultivating.

When Xiao Wu pushed the door open, both of them simultaneously opened their eyes.

Zhu Zhuqing was reminded of Xiao Wu saying she would teach her how to increase her cultivation speed tonight. She secretly looked forward to it.

"Sister Zhuqing, I'm here to fulfill our agreement," Xiao Wu said, blinking her big eyes.

"Sister Xiao Wu, thank you," Zhu Zhuqing said gratefully.

Although Xiao Wu had said several times that she was confident in improving Zhu Zhuqing's cultivation speed, this matter was just too fantastical. While Zhu Zhuqing trusted Xiao Wu in her heart, there was still a voice telling her that this was too absurd.

But now, Xiao Wu had really come.

Approaching Zhu Zhuqing's bed, Xiao Wu said, "To enhance your cultivation speed, I need to conduct a comprehensive examination of your body, and then formulate a suitable training plan for you. This process is part of my secret, so I need to do it while you're in a state of unconsciousness. Are you willing?"

To prevent Zhu Zhuqing from asking questions afterwards, Xiao Wu directly claimed it was her secret. Of course, this wasn't really her secret; it was Ao Tian's.

This process definitely couldn't be known by Zhu Zhuqing. Otherwise, how would they hide their true strength and identities?

Zhu Zhuqing pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded. "Sister Xiao Wu, I trust you."

Being trusted felt really good. Xiao Wu smiled and said, "Alright, lie down, relax your whole body, and don't be nervous."

Zhu Zhuqing lay down on the bed, slowly calming her mind.

"Sister Na'er, it's your turn," Xiao Wu turned and said.

With her purple hair and wearing a seductive nightgown, Gu Yuena walked up, whispering, "Close your eyes."

Zhu Zhuqing obediently closed her eyes.

Gu Yuena's slender jade fingers glided above Zhu Zhuqing's cheeks. Her powerful spiritual force instantly hypnotized Zhu Zhuqing, plunging her into a deep slumber.

Even if something were done to Zhu Zhuqing now, she wouldn't wake up. She would only naturally awaken after a certain amount of time had passed.

Seeing this, Xiao Wu raised her right hand, and on her palm slowly emerged a golden dragon scale.

There were some exquisite and mysterious patterns on the dragon scale. In the center, there was even a character '舞'.

This was given to her by Ao Tian. Although with her current cultivation, she couldn't use most of its functions, communication wasn't a problem.

She infused her spiritual force into it and gently called out, "Ao Tian, come over quickly. It's your turn to work."
