Leaving aside whether it was appropriate for a son-in-law to ask his father-in-law for a woman—
Others might not know Tang Yuehua's identity, but how could they, as Tang Hao's contemporaries and high-ranking figures of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, not know?
That was Tang Hao's biological younger sister.
A direct descendant of the Clear Sky Sect.
"Cough… cough…"
Ning Fengzhi coughed twice, speaking with visible difficulty.
"Pick another one. Pick another. This… this one is really hard to deal with…"
"Actually…"
Bai Mu didn't look disappointed at all. He thought for a moment, then gave a shy smile.
"I'm also quite interested in Princess Xue Ke of the Heaven Dou Empire."
What would the taste of a real princess be like?
"You really dare to dream!"
Ning Fengzhi almost choked on his own saliva.
"No matter how you look at it, she's the only princess of the Heaven Dou Empire!"
He stared wide-eyed at Bai Mu.
"If she were to marry in, what status would she have? A concubine? Are you trying to anger me to death—or Emperor Xue Ye?"
"This won't do, that won't do. Uncle Ning, you're not very capable either!"
Bai Mu spread his hands in a helpless, almost childish gesture.
"You brat!"
Ning Fengzhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Can't you mention women from normal families?"
He pondered for a moment before continuing.
"As for the ones you've mentioned, unless you conquer them yourself, it's very difficult for me to intervene from my position."
Bai Mu's eyes rolled, and another idea surfaced.
"Then what about Ye Lingling of the Nine-Heart Begonia?"
Ning Fengzhi froze.
Ye Lingling?
That cold, aloof beauty from the Heaven Dou Royal Team?
After a moment's thought, he shook his head.
"That… I'm afraid that's difficult as well."
If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was the highest mountain among support-type martial spirits, then the Nine-Heart Begonia was the longest river.
It was just that this river was far too sparse—nearly dried up.
Only two Nine-Heart Begonia spirit masters could exist in the world at any given time.
They lacked nothing—neither wealth nor resources. Why would they hand over their only successor of a generation to someone else as a concubine?
"It's fine. Just help me look into things first."
Bai Mu smiled indifferently.
"I think I can try solving their martial spirit defect."
In truth, he wasn't particularly interested in the spirit itself.
But from their last encounter, he had taken quite a liking to that tender little "cabbage."
"Fine, fine."
Ning Fengzhi looked at him speechlessly.
He could already see it clearly—this future son-in-law was outstanding in every way except one.
He was far too lustful.
Forget it. A genius of the Seven Treasures in the future was still worth betting on.
"By the way, Uncle, there's one more thing."
Bai Mu suddenly remembered something.
"What is it?"
"I made a deal with the dean of Blue Tyrant Academy before. That academy should be mine soon."
"What?!"
Ning Fengzhi was shocked once again.
Blue Tyrant Academy?
That was a well-known Spirit Master academy in Heaven Dou City.
While not at the very top, it was still considered a respectable power.
When had this kid quietly pulled off something so big?
Today really is a day of great harvest.
Seeing Ning Fengzhi's shocked expression, Bai Mu's smile grew even brighter.
——
The night was radiant, stars and moon shining brightly.
Deep within Blue Tyrant Academy.
Liu Erlong had just finished bathing.
She had changed into a plain white long dress, her damp hair draped loosely over her shoulders.
Sitting by the window, she rested her chin in her hand and gazed at the full moon in the sky, her eyes filled with tenderness.
She was thinking of Yu Xiaogang.
Thinking of his appearance after breaking through, of how his martial spirit would look after evolving—and of the moment they would reunite.
The mere thought made her heart soften.
"Xiaogang… what are you doing right now?"
She murmured softly, a faint smile unconsciously appearing at the corners of her lips.
Suddenly—
"Who's there?!"
Liu Erlong shot to her feet, spirit power surging instantly.
From the shadows outside the window, a figure slowly stepped forward.
Moonlight spilled across his face, revealing a visage far too young.
"It's only been a few days. Did you miss me, Dean Erlong?"
Bai Mu raised a hand and greeted her with a bright smile.
"It's you again, you little brat. Always appearing and disappearing like a ghost."
Liu Erlong frowned, her guard still firmly up.
"It's a beautiful night with a full moon. I'm just taking a stroll."
Bai Mu shrugged, his gaze falling on her.
"Oh? Did you know I was coming and specifically wash yourself clean?"
His eyes swept over her without restraint.
Fresh from bathing, Liu Erlong carried a faint fragrance.
The simple white dress outlined her mature curves, and her damp hair added a lazy, alluring charm.
"Kid! What are you staring at?!"
Liu Erlong's brows knitted tightly.
"Don't think this old lady wouldn't actually gouge your eyes out!"
Her fists clenched as she spoke coldly.
"Speak. What business do you have sneaking in here?"
"This can't really be called sneaking."
Bai Mu spread his hands innocently.
"Can being in one's own home be considered sneaky?"
"Your own home?"
Liu Erlong froze, then anger surged.
"This is my territory. Don't force me to hit you!"
"It's more or less the same."
Bai Mu waved dismissively.
"Dean Erlong, I've come to collect the debt. Are you ready?"
"What debt? When did I ever owe you anything?"
Liu Erlong's eyes turned cold as irritation crept into her voice.
"The Immortal Herbs I gave you—the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd and the Ninth-Grade Purple Ganoderma—were eaten by Yu Xiaogang and Tang San."
Bai Mu smiled.
"So naturally, I've come."
"According to our agreement, the entire Blue Tyrant Academy now belongs to me."
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Liu Erlong sneered.
"Kid, I haven't seen Xiaogang's breakthrough or his martial spirit evolution with my own eyes yet. How could I possibly hand the academy over to you?"
"That's fine. I have a recording."
Bai Mu smiled faintly.
"Don't try to go back on your word."
With a wave of his hand, he activated mental projection.
Images recorded by Z-cell monitoring appeared in the night air.
Yu Xiaogang consumed the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd.
His rank broke through.
Luo San Pao's body glowed, expanded, and transformed—
Until a completely golden young dragon appeared before their eyes.
"This is… Luo San Pao? A Golden Young Dragon?!"
Liu Erlong's eyes widened instantly.
She stared at the golden dragon in the images, heard its tender dragon roar, and saw it affectionately rub against Yu Xiaogang's hand.
In that moment, her eyes nearly overflowed with tears.
There was no mistake.
This was exactly the form Luo San Pao was meant to evolve into.
"Wonderful… Xiaogang… you've finally broken through!"
Her voice trembled, eyes reddening.
For an instant, she couldn't help but imagine the beautiful life awaiting her after reuniting with Yu Xiaogang.
Taking a deep breath, she forced herself to calm down and spoke plainly.
"Fine. After I meet Xiaogang and confirm it with my own eyes, I'll handle the procedures to transfer Blue Tyrant Academy to you."
"Then, I'll leave this place."
"Hehe… Dean Liu, I think you've misunderstood one thing."
Bai Mu suddenly smiled.
That smile was different from before.
"What?"
Liu Erlong was taken aback.
"I'm here to notify you—not to ask for permission."
Bai Mu's voice remained calm.
But the sharp edge gradually emerging in his eyes made a trace of unease rise in Liu Erlong's heart.
"What… what do you mean by that?"
