After setting Xiao Wu down, Ye Yu gestured to Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, ready to depart.
Xiao Wu followed dejectedly, her delicate face full of despair. Like a beaten puppy, her small fists clenched, but in the end, she could only trail behind.
"Xiao Wu! Xiao Wu!"
"Where... are you goin'...?"
Tang San struggled to his feet from the ground, his mouth crooked, words slurred through swollen lips and a busted jaw.
Tears welled in his eyes as he staggered after them, grief twisting his face.
Ye Yu didn't even hesitate.
With a single wave of his hand, a surge of powerful Spirit Power shot forth and blasted Tang San back to the ground, spitting blood as he crashed again.
"Tang San," Ye Yu sneered, "stay out of my sight."
"Xiao Wu belongs to me now."
"Xiao San!" Xiao Wu clenched her hands tightly, her eyes red with heartache—but she didn't dare run to him.
She was terrified Ye Yu would beat Tang San even worse.
"No... nooo!"
"Xiao Wu! My Xiao Wu...!"
Coughing blood, body bruised and broken, Tang San lay crumpled on the ground, shaking with helpless fury. His distorted mouth trembled as he howled in pain and disbelief.
And in that moment, he began to hate Yu Xiaogang with every fiber of his being.
Teacher... why couldn't you just stay quiet?!
Why did you have to provoke Ye Yu?!
You ruined everything! I've lost Xiao Wu... how am I supposed to live without her?!
The pain... it was unbearable.
Nearby, Flender could only clutch his chest in grief. He hadn't expected Ye Yu would even take Xiao Wu too.
But with Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing gone, their seven-man team was already incomplete. They couldn't compete in the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament anyway.
So what if Xiao Wu left as well?
Flender gave up struggling.
After leaving Shrek Academy, Ye Yu carried Zhu Zhuqing in one arm, Ning Rongrong in the other, and had Xiao Wu cling to his back. Then, with a powerful surge, he took to the skies—heading straight for Suotuo City.
In his mind, Ye Yu recalled how in the original story, Tang San and the others trained for three months under Yu Xiaogang before heading to Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena for team battles. A month later, they encountered Qin Ming and the Emperor Team.
Given that Yu Xiaogang had already been conducting his so-called "training" for over two months, the Emperor Team would be arriving in Suotuo City soon.
With that in mind, Ye Yu decided to settle into a hotel in Suotuo City for the time being.
While staying there, he planned to teach Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong Mysterious Heaven Skill and the Tang Sect techniques—and perhaps... track down those three vile thugs from earlier and let them "reward" that shameless teacher-student duo, Yu Xiaogang and Tang San, with some poetic justice.
Before long, Ye Yu and the girls descended behind the familiar Ziwei Grand Hotel, where they had previously stayed.
As they entered the lobby, the front desk receptionist was momentarily stunned when she saw Ye Yu arrive, flanked by three stunning girls.
She remembered him clearly—a handsome, wealthy young man who'd once reserved the presidential suite. She'd even tried giving him her number back then.
...Too bad he never acknowledged it.
Now, seeing him bring in not one, but three absolute beauties, each with their own unique aura and charm, she couldn't help but feel a pang of self-doubt.
No wonder he ignored me. With women like these...
"Presidential suite. One room," Ye Yu said calmly, placing a heavy pouch of gold spirit coins on the counter.
The receptionist quickly recovered and processed the reservation. She handed over the room key and smiled respectfully.
"If there's anything you need, please don't hesitate to let us know!"
Inside the presidential suite.
It was the girls' first time sharing a room with a man like this. Zhu Zhuqing maintained her cool demeanor, while Ning Rongrong feigned indifference—but both of their fair, delicate faces were tinged with pink.
Xiao Wu, however, stayed silent. Her eyes remained red, her heart still aching.
She wasn't sad about what might happen to her in the future.
She was heartbroken because she knew how devastated Tang San must be right now.
And that meant she was hurting too.
"Zhuqing, Rongrong," Ye Yu said, settling into the sofa casually. "Go take a bath first. I've got something to teach you afterward."
His intention was to pass on the cultivation method for Mysterious Heaven Skill.
But the two girls misunderstood immediately.
Their faces turned crimson as they exchanged glances, their hearts pounding.
Ye Yu… is he really going to teach us that kind of thing… right in front of Xiao Wu?!
Still, instead of resisting, they felt a shy excitement.
After all, earlier that day, when Ye Yu had rescued them from a dire situation, he'd even used the Immortal Laurel Heart, an external Spirit Bone, to ease their pain.
Thanks to its restorative power, their experience hadn't been painful.
Instead, within that crystalline cocoon of Blue Silver Spirit Jade Trees—beneath a canopy of starlight—they had felt...
A breathtaking mix of passion and tenderness.
As the two girls headed to bathe, Ye Yu sat deep in thought.
How should he actually go about teaching them Mysterious Heaven Skill?
Since Mysterious Heaven Skill's inner power can't be formed by converting Spirit Power, it must be cultivated from the very beginning.
Ye Yu considered two options:
One: Have them abolish their current Spirit Power and start over.
Two: Give them each an external Spirit Bone: Demon Willow Fluff, transforming it into a second meridian system within their bodies—allowing them to cultivate Mysterious Heaven Skill without giving up their Spirit Master cultivation.
Naturally, he chose the second.
With a secondary meridian system powered by Demon Willow Fluff , not only would their stamina improve, but they could even absorb Spirit Rings beyond their usual limits.
Eventually, Ye Yu planned to craft two more Demon Willow Fluff Spirit Bones for his other companions—Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.
As he pictured all of them mastering Mysterious Heaven Skill and Tang Sect techniques…
He couldn't help but chuckle to himself.
The thought of Tang San's expression—red with rage, shouting "You all seek death!"—was almost too entertaining to bear.
