Chapter 47

The Flame Yellow Academy occupies a vast area, with the Phoenix Hall being almost the largest hall among them.

The Phoenix Hall is built around the 'Phoenix Mountain,' with thousands of buildings stretching for ten miles.

This Phoenix Hall has three grades in total.

The senior class is at the top of Phoenix Mountain, the intermediate class is on the mountain's waist, and the newly recruited junior class, consisting of ten classes, is mostly at the foot of the mountain.

In terms of the earth's spiritual energy, the senior class undoubtedly has the best.

In reality, during the process of advancing from the junior class to the senior class, the number of academy disciples will continuously decrease.

Some people can't keep up with the pace, and thus are held back, and then drop out, so being able to graduate smoothly is already quite good.

Shangshi Mu Wan's 'Mu Wan Class' is still in the same place, beside a lake called 'Feiling Lake.'

There are over a hundred buildings here, and every year, the fifty academy disciples of Mu Wan's class cultivate and grow here.

The previous Mu Wan class has already advanced to the intermediate class, so Feiling Lake is now empty.

Li Tianming was the first disciple of this year's Mu Wan class to enter, but after passing the test, he went back to accompany his mother for a while.

When he came today, Feiling Lake was already bustling with many young disciples who were excitedly running around.

"Li Tianming, come in." As soon as he arrived at Feiling Lake, he heard Shangshi Mu Wan's voice in his ear.

He suspected that she had eyes everywhere, otherwise how could she catch him as soon as he got close.

Once again, he was called to Shangshi Mu Wan's 'Mufeng Hall.'

This is where the Shangshi usually cultivates and disciplines her disciples...

Li Tianming knocked on the door and entered, only to see Shangshi Mu Wan lazily reclining in a lounge chair in the courtyard.

She was covered with a sable fur blanket, with her long, white legs exposed.

When Li Tianming entered, she had just turned over and stretched, the perfect curve making one's nose bleed.

Li Tianming, being a gentleman, maintained a serious demeanor and did not look askance—

That was because he knew very well that if he looked a few more times, Shangshi Mu Wan would find an excuse to beat him up.

"You've become smarter, I can't even find an excuse to beat you up now." Shangshi Mu Wan looked at him with a smile.

"Shangshi is kind, gentle, elegant, and warm, how could she ever beat someone?"

"Shut up, come over and massage my shoulders." Mu Wan smiled seductively, as if hinting at something.

But if one really thought it was a hint and acted rashly, they would be beaten up badly.

"Cough, cough." Li Tianming felt something was off.

"You ungrateful thing, do you know how much pressure Shangshi had to endure to take you in? Come and show your gratitude." Mu Wan rolled her eyes.

This was true; the other nine Shangshis had all ignored Li Tianming's performance.

Her strong support at this time was indeed worthy of gratitude.

So Li Tianming went up and stood behind her, massaging her shoulders.

To be honest, being able to massage this beautiful woman, with such intimate skin contact, was not a hardship at all.

Li Tianming felt a sense of grandeur, as if he had the world in his hands, and under his skilled technique, Mu Wan was very comfortable, almost moaning.

"Take out your companion beast and play with it." Mu Wan suddenly said.

Li Tianming thought he couldn't suffer alone from this female demon's 'abuse' and immediately took out the little yellow chick.

This little thing was still sound asleep when Mu Wan took it and started to play with it.

"Who the hell..." The little yellow chick, with a fiery temper, was about to curse when it opened its eyes and saw a fragrant beauty in front of it.

Moreover, this beauty placed it on her chest.

It immediately put away its anger, lying softly in Mu Wan's hands, enjoying her 'play.'

Li Tianming was dumbfounded, not expecting the little yellow chick to be so shameless.

"Quite interesting, your little chick is quite fun." Shangshi Mu Wan turned to look at him.

"Shangshi, the way you talk, I might misunderstand." Li Tianming said shyly.

"Alright, Li Tianming, even daring to tease me, I'll punish you by making you massage my shoulders for a month." Mu Wan smiled mischievously.

He fell for it...

Tears of frustration, but being able to massage her shoulders for a month, it seemed like a good deal?

"As long as Shangshi is happy, I will give my life to massage your shoulders." Li Tianming said with a sense of martyrdom.

"Get out, making it sound like I'm getting a huge bargain. Alright, I called you here today to talk about something serious." She became serious, and Li Tianming stopped his fingers, waiting for her to speak.

"Shangshi, please speak."

"Three years ago, there was a coincidence that I found quite interesting."

"After your incident, within ten days, news came that Lin Xiaoting obtained the Holy Beast War Soul."

Mu Wan's bright eyes stared into his.

"What do you think Shangshi is trying to say?" Li Tianming asked.

"I'm thinking, the Holy Beast War Soul is yours, right?"

"After you returned from the Abyssal Battlefield, one day, I noticed something strange about Jin Yu's feathers, feeling an ancient aura, but I didn't think much of it."

Mu Wan stared at him, the first person in three years to ask Li Tianming such a question.

Others, even if Li Tianming told them the truth, wouldn't believe him.

Before Li Tianming could answer, Mu Wan lay back down and said, "So, even though I'm an outsider, I've imagined some stories. Do you want to hear them?"

"Of course, I love listening to stories." Li Tianming said.

"The story is about a boy and a girl."

"They were in love for a year, the boy deeply loved the girl, but the girl seemed to have other thoughts."

"One day, the boy obtained a treasure of the world, and he only told the girl."

"He never expected that the girl would use this information as a stepping stone to climb up to a noble young master, and together with the noble young master, steal the treasure, defame, and cripple the boy, leaving him in a hopeless situation."

After finishing, she turned to look at Li Tianming with a smile, asking, "What do you think of this story? Is it true?"

"Shangshi has a good imagination, but I feel it's a bit exaggerated, after all, calling them 'boy' and 'girl' sounds a bit awkward?" Li Tianming laughed.

After he said this, Mu Wan stared at him for a long time.

She wasn't joking but was seriously looking at Li Tianming.

"I can be quite selfish sometimes and like to tease people, but somehow, I still have a little sense of justice."

"If the boy in this story can rise from the dead, I would be willing to help him a bit."

Shangshi Mu Wan shook her head and smiled.

"He's quite lucky, after all, good people are rare." Li Tianming said.

"But I must remind him, after getting a new chance, he must cultivate diligently."

"Never let hatred blind his eyes, don't ruin his second chance. A gentleman avenges a wrong, but ten years is not too late, it's only been three years."

Mu Wan said seriously and directly.

Li Tianming understood her meaning; these words were the purpose of her calling him today.

He was very grateful, in this chaotic world, to meet such a Shangshi was his honor.

He took a deep breath and said, "Shangshi, perhaps he wants to tell you that these three years, he has been enduring hardship, just to send his enemy to hell. He is not a gentleman, he can't wait ten years."

"If he really thinks that way, I can't stop him."

"But, remember, a true avenger won't do something as foolish as hitting a stone with an egg. If the revenge plan fails, the enemy will live a carefree life for a hundred years, and that would be the true tragedy!"

"But what if, even Shangshi underestimates him?" Li Tianming asked.

Mu Wan pursed her lips and didn't speak.

"His goal this time is to enter Tianfu. If he can enter Tianfu, then everything is possible in the future."

"But please rest assured, Shangshi, he has a belief that no one else has. A person with such a belief won't lose, because no one knows what he has endured these three years!"

Li Tianming didn't expect to find such a hysterical feeling with Shangshi Mu Wan.

His emotions were wildly released.

At this moment, he felt like a mad beast, his blood tearing through his veins, even rushing into his brain, as if the whole world had turned red.

In the red haze, the scene from three years ago kept repeating, Jin Yu's feathers, pulled out, scattered on the ground.

Each one was stained with its tears of pain and blood.

Tianming, save me!

These four words, like poisonous needles, pierced his brain, the pain could turn a person into a beast.

The red haze was so intense that it made him feel short of breath.

Three years.

Is it doing well in another world...

Will it hate me, after three years, I still haven't given it an answer!

Who says it can wait ten years, can I wait ten years!

At this moment, his chest seemed to be filled with lava, and more lava was surging in, ready to explode at any moment.

"Child..."

At this moment, a warm and soft embrace gave his fierce heart a place to rest.

Perhaps such a gentle embrace has a natural power to calm a person.

The red haze in his eyes gradually disappeared.

It turned out that Shangshi Mu Wan had gently hugged him, her hands softly stroking his head and back, calming the beast within him.

This soft embrace was truly unforgettable.

"Shangshi, if I perform like that a few more times, will you still hug me like this?" Li Tianming suddenly asked.

"Naughty!" Shangshi Mu Wan didn't let go of her arms, perhaps using gentleness to melt a volcano was a kind of achievement, so she was quite satisfied.

However, her hand pinched the flesh on Li Tianming's neck, twisting it slightly, making him wince in pain.

"Let you feel what happens when you tease me." Mu Wan finally let go, looking at him with a sense of schadenfreude.

"Shangshi, I still got a good deal." Despite the pain in his neck, the warmth and fragrance from just now were truly unforgettable.

"Get out." Mu Wan realized she couldn't control him anymore.

He seemed to have changed; the Li Tianming from three years ago was very obedient and innocent.

"Alright, absolutely quick."

Li Tianming caught the little yellow chick, who was watching the show, and ran off in a flash.

After all, he had already taken advantage, staying any longer would definitely result in a beating.

However, when the wind rushed into his nose and mouth, he realized the fire in his chest was still burning.

He lifted his head and looked toward Phoenix Mountain.

He knew that direction was the way to Tianfu!

He and she might have already heard the news of his return.
