Her lips parted slightly, a coldness with a hint of minty freshness flowing freely between their teeth. She easily took the initiative, gently pressing him down. Kong Mingan was momentarily stunned, and then a trace of helplessness appeared in his eyes. This was just how the Snow Empress was; if she wanted something, she didn't hesitate at all and went straight on the offensive. His gaze paused for a moment, his movements faltered slightly, and he naturally closed his eyes.
In the distance, beneath the massive silver radiance tree, Gu Yue, who was working hard to guide the Fusion of power with the plane, felt something. She subconsciously looked up, and then... she saw the two of them embracing.
Gu Yue: "—"
No, you two aren't even trying to avoid people, are you?!
Gu Yue felt her thoughts become a bit jumbled, and even the spirit power around her that was transforming the plane under the glow of the silver radiance tree became somewhat unstable. However, in the next moment, the Snow Empress, who had originally kept her eyes closed, suddenly opened them. Her ice-blue eyes held a hint of calmness as they indifferently met Gu Yue's gaze.
"?!!"
Gu Yue's heart seemed to stop for a moment. With a strange sense of being a voyeur and a feeling of guilt, Gu Yue instinctively withdrew her gaze and looked to the side, pretending to be working hard on shaping the "God Kingdom." However, after maintaining this facade for a moment, Gu Yue realized something was wrong. Wait, what am I feeling guilty or afraid for?
I just have a contract with that guy; everything else is perfectly innocent. At most, we've kissed a few times. What does she have to be guilty about?
Thinking of this, Gu Yue took a deep breath and turned her head to look back at the Snow Empress. However, at this moment, the Snow Empress had already closed her eyes and was leaning into Kong Mingan's embrace, as if that glance just now had been nothing but Gu Yue's hallucination. Gu Yue immediately furrowed her brows, a strong sense of displeasure welling up in her heart. What was that glance supposed to be? A provocation? Or... marking her territory?
So what if she met him first and signed a contract with him first? What's the big deal!
Gu Yue was inexplicably annoyed, especially when she recalled a certain guy's previous remark that "She is different from you." Her heart became even more irritated. How was she inferior to her? Why did this guy treat them differently?!
Gu Yue's mood soured, but her rationality ultimately suppressed the urge to rush over and demand answers. She couldn't help but steal two more glances before forcing herself to look away. Then, taking a deep breath, she steadied her mind. She had to finish the "God Kingdom" as soon as possible!
She remembered Kong Mingan saying that to allow the many Spirit Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest to successfully step onto the "Stairway to Divinity," especially in the Early Stage, the amount of Energy required would be massive. In this regard, Kong Mingan couldn't provide much help because he didn't have enough Energy himself. The only solution was for her to successfully shape the "God Kingdom" to serve as an Energy hub and source to fill this gap. She had to complete the shaping of the "God Kingdom" as quickly as possible. That way, Di Tian, Bi Ji, and the others could achieve a Breakthrough as soon as possible. With Divine Rank strength as a guarantee, they could find any life-bearing planet, and the Spirit Beast race would no longer face the threat of extinction. At that time, the development of the Spirit Beast race would truly be on the right track, and only then could she deal with certain "personal grievances."
At this thought, Gu Yue's gaze became firm and focused once again. She cast aside all distracting thoughts and devoted herself entirely to the Fusion with the plane.
However, the simple Dragon KingYoung Miss did not notice that after she had fully immersed herself in her Cultivation, the Snow Empress had opened her eyes once again at some point. Those ice-blue eyes fell indifferently upon the Dragon KingYoung Miss, a nearly imperceptible glint flashing within them—like the realization that a plan was proceeding smoothly.
Then, she closed her eyes again, shifted her position slightly, and pressed into Kong Mingan's embrace in a more relaxed manner. While it was impossible to do anything too excessive in front of this Dragon KingYoung Miss, everything else besides that was fair game.
While the simple Dragon KingYoung Miss was being wordlessly guided by the Snow Empress, on the other side, in Star Luo City, inside a conference room filled with a heavy atmosphere, a long conference table divided the room into two. Officials from the Star Luo Empire and representatives from Shrek Academy sat on opposite sides of the table. The air seemed frozen. Before Xian Liner, Cai Meier, and the others lay various pieces of evidence provided by the Star Luo side regarding Tang San being an Evil Soul Master. These included field investigation records, Energy residue analysis, witness testimonies, and most directly, video recordings authenticated by the Mingmeng Chamber of Commerce as genuine.
The Shrek group looked at this ironclad evidence in silence, their expressions grim. Amidst the silence, they set down the evidence and turned their gaze toward a soul tool light screen deployed in the center of the conference room. Within the light screen, the scene inside the Sea God Pavilion far away at Shrek Academy was revealed. Zhang Lexuan sat in the main seat, while not far behind her by the window, Mu En lay on a recliner soaking up the sun. The other Sea God Pavilion Elders sat on either side. After a moment of silence, Zhang Lexuan's cold and majestic voice came through the light screen: "Regarding this matter, we thank the Star Luo Empire for their timely notification and for providing the evidence."
The Star Luo officials quickly forced smiles, their tone respectful: "Pavilion Master Zhang, you are too kind. Our Star Luo Empire and Shrek Academy have always been on good terms, working together to maintain the peace of the continent. Providing such leads is our duty and only right."
He paused and continued, "Now that all the evidence is here, since this person is after all a student of Shrek Academy, how he is dealt with will naturally be decided by your esteemed academy. Our Star Luo Empire will not intervene."
Having said that, the Star Luo officials didn't wait for Zhang Lexuan's reaction; they quickly and politely stood up to salute and then swiftly left the conference room, leaving the Shrek group behind.
In the light screen, Zhang Lexuan's gaze was calm, the majestic aura she had developed since becoming the Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion becoming increasingly prominent. Even through a screen, it was enough to inspire trust and awe. She looked at the slightly oppressed Xian Liner and the others in the conference room and said indifferently, "You don't need to be under too much pressure. The academy will handle this matter. Just complete the upcoming matches as usual."
Hearing this, Xian Liner and the others felt slightly relieved. They nodded in understanding and then immediately exited the conference room. Once the light screen was closed, inside the Sea God Pavilion, Zhang Lexuan turned her gaze toward Mu En, who had remained silent. Star Luo had handed the evidence to them to handle personally, clearly not wanting the matter to escalate. Their intention was clear: it served as an apology for the previous Evil Soul Master assassination incident.
She didn't really care about this; the loss of reputation wasn't a major problem. The focus was Tang San himself. She had learned about this Tang San's true nature from a certain guy, so she found it difficult to make a decision. It was better for the decision-making power to rest with Elder Mu.
Mu En slowly opened his eyes. They were no longer cloudy as before, but instead bright and spirited. He paused for a moment, then said indifferently, "Issue an announcement to the entire continent in the name of the academy. Shrek's Tang San has Cultivated evil techniques and harmed the innocent. Upon investigation, he has been confirmed to be an Evil Soul Master. 'As of today, he is expelled from the academy and placed on the continent's wanted list.
